Samsung confounded us last year when it released the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 as a virtual reissue of the original, bumping up the Android version, removing the LED rear camera flash and rearranging the dual speaker placement. So what's new in the Galaxy Tab 3? Nothing much, it turns out. You've got the same 1,280 x 800 display, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage and IR blaster as on the last-gen model, although the processor has been swapped for a dual-core 1.6GHz Intel Z2560 running Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean.

Fans should be familiar with Singer's work as he wrote and directed both 2000′s X-Men and 2003′s follow-up, X2. He also turned in the script for Vaughn's X-Men: First Class along with an ensemble of other writers, including Vaughn. We also got confirmation of the title from Singer recently. It follows the 1980s' comic storyline written by Chris Claremont that alternates between a present day battle against the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, and a future timeline where an assassination of a government official has led to Sentinels roaming the land and mutants held prisoner in internment camps.

Initially i had my eyes set on P770e but thanks to my boner for CDMA i got this one.

I got the piece in my hands today.The whole theme and setup looks very unandroid with msot of the preloaded apps are in mandarin.

They claim it has Andy 4.0.There is no google play app store.Once I did restore factory default settings which made chinese as its default language.Somehow i changed it to english again.

I need tonnes of help from you guys to figure out the system and performance of the phone and i also want to put some real english language supporting Andy into it.

I doubt CM has custom ROMS for this piece,so that goes out of picture.But i want the pleasure of Andy,no matter what

As soon as you rolled out the new plans this month, i have found Youtube buffering an annoying issue.

It was pretty good last month but when my speed increased to 25 Mbps (rs.1660 plan), Youtube has has become noticeably slower.

Although I love the speeds, the download speed is near perfect, the problem is only Youtube (I have to buffer a video on 360p on my 4Mbps fallback speed -this is not right).

Considering that 50% of all the browsing I do is on Youtube, this is be quite a big problem for me and I hope to hear your answer to this.

Has anybody else notice this problem

I want to accept credit card payments on my website .. So need some feedback abt which one is a good option for a small or medium scale business .. Should be cheap and be able to accept international credit cards ..

I have gone through ccavenue and ebs .. Ccavenue seems to be decent but their transaction rate is almost 5% ..

Anyone using any payment gateway? Any suggestions?

Or is there any international payment gateway which withdraws the money to Indian banks also?

Today I was recharging my Delhi Metro smartcard online, but after I recharged I got an error "Transaction Failed", but the money was still debited from my account as I confirmed from SMS confirmation message from HDFC. Can anyone please help? I recharged twice with 950 Rs as it was always showing transaction failed error, and I wasn't aware that the money has actually been debited from my account. I checked and validated my smart card, but the value hasn't been added. Please help

Oblivion Official Trailer #1 Tom Cruise Sci-Fi Movie HD - YouTube

Hi everyone,

We are living in a rented apartment in Millennium Tower, Sector 9, Sanpada, Navi Mumbai. Our requirement is high speed wired broadband (Total of 8 mbps atleast) and low ping. We are even willing to take upto 3 different broadband connections and even from different ISPs. This is because the flat has two floors and sharing a single net connection via wifi would be difficult as well as adversely impact the ping for the guys who are playing online games. Also, different isp means having backups is one net suffers downtime.

Till now only Airtel has confirmed their presence in my building but their FUP limit is ridiculous. We are willing to pay upto Rs 3000 p.m.

We have contacted a local cable operator by the name of "Om star" has told us that their connection is not available in our area.

I have also contacted Reliance about their presence in my area but they haven't reverted anything till now. Also, I am bit doubtful about their service after reading about user experiences, complaining about high ping and frequent disconnection.

Please suggest a broadband connection/ISP provided which operate in this area as I am new to this city/area.

Thanks in advance

Regards

I wanted to start a new experience thread simply to discuss MTNL VDSL.

Some things to consider before/after taking a new VDSL connection

SNR margins (SNRM)
Below 9 dB : Poor experience with lots of HEC and CRC errors. Line will disconnect frequently.
9   - 11  dB : Ok but not ideal. Disconnections will be there if some unexpected variance is introduced by rains, humidity in the wire.
12 - 16  dB : Ideal and realistic value. Expect almost no disconnections as the line has more wiggle room for tolerating variances.
17 dB and up : God Mode. Lucky few get this on VDSL synced at 30 mbps and up. So far I have seen various stats and no one has reported this SNRM (That is because VDSL sync rates are always higher)

Higher you sync rate, lower the SNRM will be. Lower the SNRM, lower the connection reliability. Lower reliability means frequent disconnections. Hence ISP's have a setting in DSLAM to artificially increase SNRM value for a particular phone line. Hence you sync at lower rate and line automagically becomes stable.

Attenuation may not be that important after all. It reduces sync speeds over a distance but is not an indicator of connection reliability. (You can roughly calculate your line length from it. Do it here)

Apply for VDSL connection only if you are within half km. Otherwise you will get ADSL like sync rates.

I will update this entry with some of our findings. Since VDSL is somewhat new to India, this thread can help some early adopters.

Currently the speeds are decent for fast servers. But single streams are slow due to a bottleneck somewhere.

I found that bsnl broadband is blocking sites.. Can somebody confirm?

HYDERABAD: Eleven days after TRS chief K Chandrasekhar Rao began an indefinite fast for Telangana, the Centre on Wednesday announced that the process of formation of a separate state was being set into motion and that a resolution to this effect would be moved in the Andhra Pradesh assembly shortly.

Hi guys, 

Last week I obtained a Static IP from MTNL which was required for a couple of work relates accesses. Since then I have been facing weird issues - using the Freedom 800 plan, during the day time when the speed is supposed to be 512 kbps, Wifi connects but no site can be loaded, no app works, essentially nothing works - however signal strength is full and connection is prompt, at the same time etehernet works fine - no issue. Issue is only with WLAN.

When I connect post 11pm - wifi works great, all sites load, apps too work fine... what's the issue? Contacted MTNL 7 times... no solution... all they do it check ADSL...

Can't be a modern or router issue as wifi singal is full and connection is prompt - data transfer is also normal post 11pm... has to be ISP issue...

What can I do to solve this?

Ouch!

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has invalidated Apple's iconic "pinch-to-zoom" patent.

Samsung discovered that the patent was invalidated after going over Apple's records in the ongoing legal battle between the two companies.

Samsung wants to use this latest evidence to justify its demand for a new trial because "Pinch-to-zoom" was one of the Apple patents a jury found Samsung guilty of infringing.

Apple won the initial ruling against Samsung. If the ruling stands, Samsung will have to pay Apple a little more than $1 billion.

Now… This show is definitely not for everyone and as I have already read that a couple of you have tried it and given up on it. I am currently on season 6 and I have enjoyed it so far. It's from the late 90s so it's not really what you would call cutting edge. But I love it for its humor. I have always been a big fan of MacGyver. All characters have their own charms. The chemistry between them is amazing. Especially when you talk about alient characters like Thor. If you need something for the long haul. Something that you want to enjoy between your regular shows… you might want to consider it. It's huge. There are spin-offs. I have not really explored what happens after SG-1. I started with the movie Stargate and then picked up this series. There are 10 seasons. Around 22 episodes each. Could last you several months. Would be totally worth it. I have seen 6 seasons in 2-3 weeks and basically I am going through the same joyride I went through when I saw the entire Doctor Who franchise (from the latest installment starting with Christopher Eccleston as the ninth doctor). Along with the nightmares of course. Instead of daleks, I just see Goa'ulds. lol

Same scam. Textual content costs them nothing. You would pay when you load images and links. Freaking nuisance. Of course, on Android devices, you would end up paying a lot more for background internet activity as well. If you are already paying for a data plan, your savings would be negligible.

Here is the link.

I have the above plan , earlier I was on a higher plan but their broadband service was so pathetic that I decided to stop looking at Airtel as my main broadband provider .I have continued this connection as a fallback and for the landline

Guess what , the other day my regular broadband had a hitch and I am supposedly getting 2GB with 2Mbps under my Smart combo plan and I am paying monthly 550 INR for it ,for the first time when I switched to Airtel broadband in 3 months , it does not work I do not even get continous 256kbps speed for browsing forget 2Mbps ..I do not know what they are charging me INR 550 for monthly .

I needed the landline so I have continued their number ..but the thought that they are taking me for a ride gets me ..Same kind of anger I used to feel when I see the a crooked rickshaw guy showing me his rigged rickshaw meter and asking me to pay more

Hello everyone,

Can anyone please tell me which is the best wired broadband (No FUP) in east delhi. I m a heavy downloader. I have heard of MTNL, Reliance, Pacenet, Spectranet etc. I heard that reliance is providing 4mbps thunder plans. Please tell me more abt it. Is it worth to install in my area? How's the performance of it in east delhi? or is there any other ISP which has better network in east delhi. Please do reply.

Thanks in advance.
