Apparently the gamepad accessory for the Galaxy S4 support devices as large as 6.3 inches. So, the rumor in the market is that Note3 might feature a display as large. lol. 

 

I think they should have added support for 8" devices so that the recently launched Note 8.0 would have worked with this! 

Hello everyone

 

I have a reliance connection (Thunder 2 Mbps) which is currenly connected via reliance modem and tplink router.

 

The tplink router is being problematic now. The wireless stops working after few minutes while internet works perfectly via lan. While I maybe able to resolve this issue by downgrading the firmware (The latest 2 firmwares has this issue) I am also planning to buy a spare router just incase.

 

I have tried various routers such as netgear, tplink, asus and iball. I got an iball iB-WRA150N modem and router recently to use with the bsnl connection and it works perfectly.

 

Therefore I am planning to buy another router for the reliance connection as well since it works well and also its a modem and router at the price of router alone.

 

Now My questions are-

 

1.) Can the iball modem and router be used with reliance?

 

2.) Can iball router be used as a standalone router only and if yes then how as it doesnt have a wan port.

 

Any help would be highly appreciated.

 

 

 

Regards

Hi all

Any suggestions for an all in one wireless coloured LaserJet printer?

No fixed budget, but anything cheap and good for daily home printing needs will do.

Hello Everybody

Airtel did a exhibition in our apartment yesterday on Airtel 4G LTE.
We ordered an Airtel 4G LTE USB Dongle yesterday in it.

The price which was offered to us was Rs 2499 with 6 month 999 plan which offers 9GB per month.
Here is the speed i got in a demo shown to us in my Laptop.



I was really astonished to see such high speed in "our country" for such a price and that too via a wireless solution.
I can understand that the offered bandwidth cap is very much small for such a speed, but even then the speed which Airtel offered was really amazing.
The Airtel gut assured me that they would maintain 10 MBps as minimum speed in the course of time.

I need one clarification from experts in this forum on a moment which made me awestruck.
We can easily get rated speed inside our country when we point speedtest.net to Chennai, Bangalore, Mumbai servers.
But the speedtest meter hit back to 40 MBps instantly even if i point to a server which is located in USA.
How can that be possible, please explain me guys.
As i haven't seen more than 4MBps against a USA server in our country.

But the poor Huawei USB Dongle used software compression and modulation.
Because of that my Lenovo Thinkpad Edge 13" Laptop brought to it's knees when i try to watch a Full HD Video in Youtube.
It is certainly not because of playing a Full HD Video in my Laptop created such an impact.

There was a pilot flying a small single engine charter plane, with a couple of very important executives on board. He was coming into Seattle airport through thick fog with less than 10m visibility when his instruments went out. So he began circling around looking for landmark. After an hour or so, he starts running pretty low on fuel and the passengers are getting very nervous. Finally, a small opening in the fog appears and he sees a tall building with one guy working alone on the fifth floor. The pilot banks the plane around, rolls down the window and shouts to the guy "Hey! Where am I?" To this, the solitary office worker replies "You're in a plane." The pilot rolls up the window, executes a 275 degree turn and proceeds to execute a perfect blind landing on the runway of the airport 5 miles away. Just as the plane stops, so does the engine as the fuel has run out.

The passengers are amazed and one asks how he did it. "Simple" replies the pilot, "I asked the guy in that building a simple question. The answer he gave me was 100 percent correct but absolutely useless, therefore that must be Microsoft's support office and from there the airport is just a while away."

Is Windows a virus?

No, Windows is not a virus. Here's what viruses do:
They replicate quickly Okay, Windows does that

Viruses use up valuable system resources, slowing down the system as they do so okay, Windows does that

Viruses will, from time to time, trash your hard disk Okay, Windows does that, too

Viruses are usually carried, unknown to the user, along with valuable programs and systems Sigh... Windows does that, too

Viruses will occasionally make the user suspect their system is too slow (see 2) and the user will buy new hardware Yup, that's with Windows, too

Until now it seems Windows is a virus but there are fundamental differences: Viruses are well supported by their authors, are running on most systems, their program code is fast, compact and efficient and they tend to become more sophisticated as they mature

So, Windows is *not* a virus

UTV-STARS.

Hi,
 
I have got a new Act BB connection on 22/08/2013.
 
Acc No :412315
 
From the day of taking connection, internet connectivity had so many downtimes!!! i am not sure how ACT claims that it provides seemless connectivity at great speeds!!!
It should be "Useless Connectivity @ HIGH COST"
 
for past 12 days from OCT 2 ,my connection has not been working fine ,ACT has done nothing but just raise complaints and close it!!!
 
I wonder how the speed gets better when i call cust care and raise a complaint!!! ACT is a big fraud ,they commit big deals before taking connection and once u pay for 6 months ,ur money will be locked and ACT will make u dance to their tunes!! Even if connection is down for a week they wont bother as its a pre-paid connection and act got the money!!!
 
If u raise ur voice ,raise complaints they would just close it without addressing it!!
There is no provision to pay on-line for ACT BB....payment gateway doesn't work!!! ACT has made it mandatory to pay for every pick up cheque!! My question is when there is no provision to pay online y shud customers pay for cheque pick up???
 
ACT bb is a nuisance in the city trying its best to fool ppl!!! beware of this fraud

1. Will the picture quality of SD channels improve on HD Set Top Box, just because of HDMI connection or what?

2. What and how can one get maximum signal strength and quality on set top box. Does it depend on Dish placement position or on atmospheric conditions?

I moved house from Koramangala to Indiranagar and enquired with ACT if they would be able to provide me a connection in the new place. They took their own sweet time and after many phone calls later said they have done the feasibility study and they can in-fact provide me a connection in the new place. I asked them about what about all the days I won't be able to use the connection since they take 15 working days to shift it, they told me repeatedly that it would be credited to my account.

 

The Transfer Process

 

Their person came to collect new address proof and promptly took INR 300 as transfer charges. Again the series of calling them about the connection started. Their floor supervisor Mr. S kept stating that they are committed to giving the connection and they will refund the for the time I was unable to use it.

 

The Excuses start as always

 

Eventually they started giving excuses on why they can't provide the conncetion. Apparently there is someone in the new building who has a box but refuses to share the connection. So now ACT says that they can't provide the connection unless I go talk to the other customer and convince them. This is the most absurd thing I had ever heard. I have a business relationship with ACT but they want me to do their work. Not only that, I tried to explain to them that I am on their most expensive package, why not shift the box from the other customer to my place and give the connection to them.

 

Don't want my business

 

For some reason their customer support isn't interested in my business at all. I have never crossed the FUP limit so I fail to understand why it would be so. The only reasonable explaination is that they don't care at all.

 

The icing on the cake is that they have agreed to refund the transfer charges of INR 300 but not for the 15 days of unused internet. Right now, I am trying to get in touch with Mr. S and anyone who would understand that this is not the way to treat a customer but so far no luck.

 

Out of ideas on how to deal with them

 

If you all have any ideas on how to proceed to either get a connection(25 Mbps is needed for the kind of work I do) or at least if I can get my money back for the time I haven't utilised at all.

 

Hello everyone,

 

I've been lurking on this forum for a very long time now and I finally made a throw away account to pass on an important message to the community.

 

Recently, after having gotten really frustrated with the entire FUP/pseudo-high-speed-broadband thing (and the lack of meaningful alternatives here in Chennai), I looked up all the email IDs of BSNL managers and sent them an email requesting a single thing - offer us a 1Mbps no-FUP plan around the Rs. 1000 mark.

 

Now, in the email, I said that a lot of people were very frustrated with the status quo and that a lot of people are actually demanding something like this. This evening I received a small reply stating - 

 

BTW, this is not spam. 

 

I made a throwaway because I don't want to sign up on the forum. But I am a regular visitor here though. : )

 

Hello Chromaniac, iChaitanya (I hope I spelled that right) and the others who keep this place alive.

Revealing the exclusive digital poster of 'Ram Leela' - A Sanjay Leela Bhansali directorial film featuring Deepika Padukone & Ranveer Singh in the lead roles. The film is produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali under the SLB Films banner.

Just received my first package and as i was afraid their XL size is too small for me. initiated a return. 

 

packaging was quite nice. t-shirt material is pretty good. the problem is that the design is focused on a tight fit which does not work well for me. the length and height is ok but the tight fit means it looks super awkward on me. lol. 

 

anyways. good service overall.

Hi Guys,

I have recently relocated near IRB Road Powai, Mumbai

I am looking for a fast, stable wired broadband with no FUP in an unlimited data transfer plan.

I need it mainly for video conferencing for work (hence stability requirement) and using steam of at least 2 MBps (but 4 or 6 MBps is preferable)

I am using hathway since roommate is already using it, downtime is high during rains, very low FUP cap and severely fluctuating speeds

Please help me with your suggestions!!

Thanks.


Till now, I was in Navi Mumbai and used:
SSV/D-VoiS = horrible downtime of about 2-4 days every month, usually on weekends and fluctuating speeds. Also since they had monopoly for quite some time, their customer service was very rude.
Airtel = good service but FUP is reached in 10-15 days usually!!
Reliance = No FUP plans and good service in Navi Mumbai, but not sure about quality of service in Mumbai
