How to: Make your Phone Run Or Operate Faster

In most cases, when a phone runs or operates slowly, it is caused by the person who uses that phone and it's mostly salking to see one's phone operating or running slower than normal.

In case your phone has slowed down considerably or isn't working properly, here, within this write-up, you might find useful tips that may help you manually correct the errors.

Possible Causes of Phone Slow Performance

Internal Memory: a phone's internal memory plays most role in the way the phone operates and if it is almost full, the phone might begin operating slower than normal.

Solutions

1. Check that the message folder for the phone is set to external (memory) storage/disk to free up more space on the phone memory.
2. Do not install applications on the phone memory. Most of your installations should be done on the external (memory) storage disk.
3. Dedicate only the phone in-built (Internal) memory for the major or core phone applications and programmes (e.g. firmware updates).

External Memory
Another reason why a phone may run slower is when the external disk or storage (Memory) on the phone is bigger than that the phone can carry.
The phone may also run slower if the external storage disk (memory) on the phone is almost full.

Solutions

1. First, avoid using large external storage disk (memory) on the phone as this may be the cause of the slow performance.
2. If you know that you have had too many files on the external storage disk (memory), you should delete some files on it.

Installed Applications
Some phone applications or programmes may also be the cause of the phone slow performance especially; anti-virus applications.

Solutions

1. Check that your anti-virus application is updated and active. If otherwise, uninstall the anti-virus application on the phone.
2. Secondly, uninstall the last application installed on the phone. It's most likely the cause of the phone slower performance.

And if all the above could not correct the errors, resetting the phone maybe necessary.
The phone restore/reset will erase the phone's data and restore the phone to it's default factory settings state.

Be Alert! Phishing Fraud Warning for MTN Users

It was in the morning, around 9 a.m when one of our customers came into Aryk Enterprise store to ask for MTN N 1500 recharge cards. "I want only N 1500 recharge cards not multiples of card..." -he emphasized.

Going by the way he was reacting, I knew for sure that something was up in the air. Indeed, there was something. I approached him politely to be certain of what he was happy or curious about.
Bravo! He was to be a millionaire!
Earlier that morning, he had received a message from a number claiming to have originated from MTN Nigeria. The content of the message was;

"Your number have being chosen, only one more step to win! Recharge N 1500 to WIN N1,00000 . Visit..."

He was given a web link to visit. It was on this web link that they make available a space for him to enter the recharge PIN before he could win the N1,000000 .

"Once I enter the recharge PIN here, the amount would be credited to my account and I would be entitled to win the money..." -that was his thought

The moment we visited the web link, I cautioned him not to enter the recharge PIN there. I told him it was a phishing webpage but he could not believe me. He entered three (3) MTN N 1500 recharge PINs into the space provided and waited for the response.
There was no response.

Having waited for about 5 mins, I told him to load those recharge PINs on his phone which he did.
Guess what message he received;

"This card has already been used by another customer!!"

And that was how one of our customers lost N 4500 .

Lessons

1. Phishing web page is a kind of web page designed to delude visitors of what the real actual web page is. This kind of gimmick is being used by fraudsters to gather confidential info from victims and other internet users. Beware!
2. Do not be moved by a promo that you are not dutifully involved in.
3. Finally, do not entertain any message claiming that you have won anything you never participated or entitled to win.
