Really amazing to see such speeds in Kolkata for the first time :mml: Test done on PACKAGE PREMIUM 1050 UNLIMITED NO FUP'S :yahoo:

A friend is considering S3 as her next purchase. I tried recommending N4 but I don't think she will like it. Thanks to its camera and the fact that she loves clicking pics. And loads of them.

 

Is it a still a good buy? Should I recommend or is there a better option at this price range?

 

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

I am going lol over these rumors:

The second generation phablet Samsung will include a 12-megapixel back camera.

Raymond "Red" Reddington, one of the FBI's most wanted fugitives, surrenders in person at FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C. He claims that he and the FBI have the same interests: bringing down dangerous criminals and terrorists. Reddington will cooperate, but insists that he will speak only to Elizabeth Keen, a rookie FBI profiler. Keen questions Reddington's sudden interest in her, though he claims that Keen is very special. After the FBI brings down a terrorist he provided information on, Reddington reveals that the terrorist is only just the first of many. In the last two decades, he made a list of criminals and terrorists he believes the FBI can't find because they didn't know they exist and that they matter the most. Reddington calls it "The Blacklist".

 

 

Since today was the last day of the billing cycle, I have my downloads on since early morning. I do not want this usage to end up getting counted in next month's cycle because the session continued past midnight.

Should I reset my modem before midnight tonight?

I lost around 4GB data on Airtel Broadband last year which they refused to add back to my account which basically got me to dump them permanently.

The telecom company will offer unlimited voice calls, SMS and 3G data for a fixed monthly fee ranging between Rs 2,500 and Rs 2,800. The subscriber will be locked in to RCom's network under a two-year contract. Under the scheme, the 16 GB iPhone 5c, priced without subsidy at Rs 41,900, will be available for a monthly fee of Rs 2,500 while the 5s, priced at Rs 53,500, will be on offer for around Rs 2,800 a month. The 32GB version will come with an upfront fee of Rs 10,000 in addition to the monthly charges. The 64GB model, priced at Rs 71,500 off the shelf, will be on offer for an upfront fee of Rs 18,000.

 

So, basically... 16GB models for free. 32GB model for 10K. 64GB model for 18K. 

Well my sennheiser headphone have gone kaput and i am saving for nexus 5, so don't have much cash in hand.

 

Want to buy a decent headphone for max of 2000 bucks. Will use it almost exclusively music. I know genres don't matter for lower-mid level headphone, but i mostly listen to metal and rock. So clarity is more important than deep bass.

Airtel has launched the IPTV with HD Channels just last month however the biggest setback / disappointment is that the existing customers cannot subscribe to the HD Channels. The scheme is only available for new acquisitions...which is really sad. The cost of a new HD IPTV set top box along with a free wife router is Rs 3500 (installation charges) and the HD plan will cost Rs 599/month (though there are only 12 HD channels at this time...hope they add more soon.)

 

I was forced to cancel by earlier IPTV + broadband connection and took a new HD IPTV + broadband connection. Received a HD STB (obviously much different than my earlier STB). The picture and sound quality is much better....I guess thanks to the new better STB and HDMI output. The STB menu / interface is really good (not like the old one) and it very responsive and fast (unlike the earlier IPTV which was very sluggish.)

 

Overall if you really want HD channels along with HDMI output then it is worth the trouble to disconnecting your existing connection and buying a new one for Rs3500/-.....else stick to your existing connection. 

1 week before i bought a new vodafone k3800 3g modem dongle(unlocked by company). when i put a 3g bsnl sim which i used previously in another datacard, not recognising 3g .when i put the option 3g or automatic , it will say 'LIMITED SERVICE' AND NOT REGISTERED.....with other sim also .it does the same..But can work in 2g only mode in 2g speed.......kindly find a solution for me??

Cash for text is a pretty intelligent idea for advertisers and the Textual content Cash Community. They are capitalizing on people's want to make cash, cellular advertising, and simplicity. I believe there will be many who join, but extremely couple of who will make cash with this opportunity. empower network scam

Totally free Advertising - This may be a great location to begin if your money are limited. But this will be slower than paid marketing and will take a lot much more time. If you are spending a lot of time with free advertising and not obtaining the outcomes you like, then you might want to attempt some thing else. Keep in mind when utilizing free advertising somebody else may location their ad with yours and this is not very professional. Also when you be a part of these free advertising sites it generally indicates everybody on that site can deliver totally free advertising to you. So you will receive great deal of unwanted emails.

This tends to make feeling for the advertisers simply because they know that you will likely consider advantage of some of the offers that they deliver out. The offers that they will be sending you through text are heading to be very focused to your likes and wants.

Anybody tried booking these plans.

Why this thread?

So often, we have some random thought or point to make/discuss , and I personally sometimes skip it as I feel it is not worthy of a new thread & feel its unfair to hijack an existing thread...

Would recommend creating new thread for any big news & as usual we have threads for specific series/tournaments.. This is for something general random posts related to cricket...Kind of the Cricket Offtopic thread...

I bought a belkin d-link router recently.As you know the Hathway Broadband users have to login to Hathway Portal everytime which allows access to the internet.

Now the problem is when i log in on my pc,i'm not being allowed to login on my laptop[using wifi ofcourse] or any other wifi enabled device for that matter.Whenever i login it says 'User already logged in Maximum limit for sessions is reached' so the only way out is to logout of the pc n then login on my wifi enabled devices,which means i can use only 1 device at a time[Whatta Pathetic joke!!]

 

I asked customer care,they told me to buy static IP to get rid of this problem,but before spending extra money on that[which is ridiculous],i would like to know is there any other way out by which i can use multiple devices simultaneously?

Thanks in Anticipations

Please help me from this issue.

 

Hello Readers,

My name is Vivek Sinha Anurag and i am going to post some "great" work shown by Act Broadband.

I applied for ACT Broadband 5 Mbps plan [its having cap value of 35GB after that speed will reduce to 256 kbps] by calling their customer care on 16th Aug 2011. I was surprised to see their lightening fast response as the representative came to my doorstep the very next day and on 17th Aug 2011 Mr Ashitt O.S. collected the money and documents and told me that withing 5 days i will get my connection and i even got sms confirmation that my request no is 142263.

Now the real story started. Even after 6 days no one ever bothered to check my request so i called customer care [ 080-42840000] to remind them and i was told that i will get it withing next 2 days. I waited for next 2 days and called them again.

I was surprised to learn a new technical term from them that they are "Uploading network" hence its taking time and soon i will get my connection. Since my work was getting affected because of their delay i applied for a BSNL connection too. Now today is 5th September and i am still waiting for the connection and to my surprise i got the BSNL broadband last week.

I tried escalating this matter and asked the customer care for any high level contact and they said that i need to mail helpdesk@acttv.in. I emailed them but i got no response.

Please note some points regarding ACT broadband before applying ACT broadband
1. They dont have nodal officer/appellate authority [against TRAI rules and i have already escalated this matter to TRAI officials with the help of pgportal.gov.in]
2. They have a customer base of 2500 users in bangalore and they are not able to manage even this small number.
3. They DO NOT PROVIDE STATIC IP [even if they claim to do so]
4. Their customer care service is useless. All you will losse is your balance by talking to them
5. They can "Upload network" [You can imagine the understanding capability of their technicians]
6. They are fast in collecting money but lazy in delivering service

Final conclusion: To be on safe side stay away from them else you will suffer like me. Morning shows the day and even before using their service i am suffering. Don't know what will happen when i get the connection and i face any problem that time.

Flipkart: Yonex AC 489 Blue Badminton Kit for Rs. 1999

So I have finally managed to grab this phone, all thanks to a friend of mine in US who was able to get one for me for $420. I was really frustrated with manufacturers (Motorola!) screwing the customers by backing out of promised OS updates and I had pledged that my next phone would be a Nexus for sure. The phone is really a steal for the price it’s selling for. It has a premium feel to it when we hold it (sans the poetic borderline bumper). The display I feel is very good, coming from my Motorola Electrify with a crappy pentile display. The glittering back glass with the Nexus logo in silver is really a visual treat, the only reason for me getting a bumper instead of a case. The hardware revision of my device is 11 and I am not having any common issues reported by various Nexus 4 users especially on hardware revision 10 devices i.e. buzzing earpiece, distorted sound from earpiece and speakers, yellow tint on screen after using it for longer periods, rattling sound, creaky microUSB port etc.

Coming to the software part, the android version that it came with is 4.2 but as soon as I connected to a Wifi network for initial setup, it prompted me about a software update available and it updated itself to 4.2.1. I have already unlocked the bootloader and rooted the device as I’m lazy to install more than 130 apps, where Titanium Backup helps a lot. I have not installed a custom recovery yet as I suppose we won’t be able to install updates pushed by Google. The lockscreen widgets are cool too. The GPS gets a fix in less than 10 seconds, which is really good as my previous phones took more than 30 – 50 seconds to get a fix. I tried Android Beam/NFS with a friend having S3 and it worked without issues too. The OS is very polished and very snappy and there is hardly any lag noticed while using different apps. I was amazed to see the level of multitasking abilities of this device. Switching between apps is ‘maska’. The only thing I’m missing are the notification toggles like Cyanogenmod, which I was addicted to. Although the double finger swiping menu thingy serves a bit, still I would have loved notification toggles.

The call quality is better than my Motorola Electrify, something which I didn’t expect. The sound on the earpiece is very loud at full volume and I had to reduce it. On my Electrify it was always on maximum volume. The speaker is also loud enough but the sound is suppressed when the device is lying on a flat surface, still easily audible though. The sound from earphones is descent while using stock audio player but I use Poweramp which provides a much better sound quality. The network reception is also good enough, didn’t notice any issues yet.

Now the gaming part, I installed Asphalt 7:Heat just to test the GPU capabilities and played it for around 15 – 20 minutes and I didn’t notice any frameskips, uninstalled it as I’ve completed it already. In NFS Most Wanted I was able to notice some minor frameskips here and there, which happened probably because of the early thermal throttling bug which is yet to be fixed. The device does get warm while playing games and while using internet on 3G.

I am yet to test the camera properly as I hardly use it. Tried Photosphere but was not successful in getting a proper result. I think it requires practice.

The battery life is pretty average, again something Google would probably fix in the next update. Some users have reported better backup after flashing some custom kernels with undervolting capabilities, available on XDA, something I won’t be trying so soon. I get around 24 hours backup from 100 to 5% based on my usage. It may improve as this is just the second day. I was getting around 30 hours on my Motorola Electrify with a Tegra 2 and 1700mah battery. I was expecting at least similar battery backup.

I also have not benchmarked it as I don’t care. But if anyone wants me to do it, please let me know. If anyone wants me to check anything specific, I would happily oblige.

Apologies for bad quality pics, friend has taken my camera. This is taken using my Motorola Electrify.
