It is safe to assume that Infinix Hot Note smartphone released earlier this year was a success. One of the specifications that contributed to its widespread acceptance aside from its design and features was its long battery life -- a battery that can go two days on heavy use depending on what is running. Although the Infinix Hot Note had great battery life and specs, one area that users have showed a bit of resentment is in the fact that the Hot Note, which is actually meant to be a phablet that will allow for more productivity has 1GB RAM. This means that there is a limit to the amount of programs that can be run at a certain single time. To fix this, Infinix released a 2GB RAM Infinix Hot Note called Infinix Hot Note Pro for sale during the Jumia Megathon Sales event but stopped the sale of the device after the Megathon event was completed and those that wanted to get the device could not purchase one. Well, it will be good news for a lot of Infinix fans to learn that the Infi...

Apple have released the new iOS 8.4 firmware update which comes with various bug fixes and enhancements but most importantly it comes with the most awaited music streaming app known as the Apple Music. The update is only about 153 MB and can be downloaded as an OTA update. However, for those that would want to jailbreak their device on iOS 8.4, it is adviced that a fresh iOS 8.4 firmware is downloaded and installed on the device through iTunes.   The jailbreak tool which was released by PP Team is available for download here and so far it is working well although it was reported on social media that PP Team stole the exploits for this jailbreak from TaiG Team and quickly released it before TaiG released their jailbreak tool. This means that a lot of  people from the jailbreak community may refrain from using this jailbreak tool and use  the version that was released by TaiG Team few minutes ago.  If you would love to use the TaiG Jailbreak to...
