I’ve had a lot of hilarious experiences getting a
Memory or SD card of 16GB only to discover that its just 2GB SD Card. I’ve also
use some tools online like memory card expander that has the capacity to
expand, flash drives, memory card and the likes from 2GB to 8GB. But what
actually bothers my mind is there should be a tool to check for fake SD
card.

Have you ever wondered why on earth you
remove your SD card from your Smartphone, only for you to return it back inside
and it tells you “memory card corrupted”? Have you been in a situation where
you pay heavily to get a 32GB SD card, only for you to discover that it can
only take 8GB files and data.

HEllo friend,
You only need to go to appworld, you'll see the notification update, click on it and your update should begin.
You also need a wi-fi or hotspot connection to do that. Its pretty easy.
I saw it but can't post it because I haven't tested it. Have you tested it? Did it work for you? Tell us more about it
Pls prof I tried usin ma glo bis on pc ND it was deactivated automatically..pls hw I reconnect ma bis bak
Do you mean directly from your android hotspot? Put your phone in airplane mode and turn it off again
Dial *777*0# and what message did you get?
Prof, please my Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime hotspot can only be shared with only PC alone, and it can't be shared with phones. Also, it cannot received or search hotspot from another phone. Help me out. Thanks.
Hello Friend,
Your Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime can be shared with other phones toooo. Make sure other phones you want to share it with has a wi-fi connection to detect your hotspot. If it doesn't have a wifi it won't detect your hotspot.
To search hotspot from another phone, make sure you turn ON your Wi-Fi connection. If its turn off, it won't search nor receive hotspot connections from another device.
Have you done the above and it still give you thesame result?
Prof please link me up with glo Bbm settings with Android, as how to use glo bis for Android
Hello Kingsley,
Glo BIS settings
Apn : blackberry.net
leave password and username empty. set it has your default connection.
Remember to use glo bis on android, you'll need to tweak your imei to that of Blackberry imei.
it worked for me, I tweaked a friends Samsung Ace 4 and also my MTN S720 Phone using it since i could'nt get a PC to tweak it using the Mtkdriod Method
Hello Prince,
Thanks for this update but did you really try Glo bis on it, or another imei and it worked fine?
The reason why I'm asking is because I've heard alot of people still complaining that it doesn't really change the imei that the moment you uninstall the Imei changer, your imei return back to normal.
I want to know if you've try Glo bis or tweak any of this imei on it and it worked just fine for it. I know it works with Xiami, doesn't work with HTC, works with Samsung but I can't really verify if it changes the imei to use glo bis on it.
Prof i didn't try Glo bis on it, but i got 2015mb from the Infinix Imei tweak through this Method, mayb wen I have money I'll try the Glo Bis
Ok Prince,
Thanks for this timely info, let me make a post on it even though all Qualcom user may not benefits from it.

Wow… So dis kind of app day since, but prof is der any android app dat can repair a damaged sd card like blackberry????
Honestly fake SD card in market is too much. But if u go to a trusted shop u will get original one but it will be expensive.
There is a way one can know these things barely looking at it
Don't buy memory cards or phones sold by the boys hawking them on the road side at Ikeja. You will only regret and hardly get a refund. Rather buy from a reputable shop. Or better still go to a shop that sells only cameras with its accessories and buy your memory card from them.
true talk bro i made this kind of mistake sometimes
i have bought like 3 memory cards like that from boys by the road side and they fucked up it pained me en
