What ROM Are You Using?

Posted: 30 Dec 2013 12:00 PM PST

After months of wait fpr Samsung to release the official Jelly Bean update for Note N7000, I gave up and now I am using Paranoid Android 3.10. It is 4.2.2 and it has hybrid feature that enables Note to be used more like a tablet kind of device. It's pretty cool IMO, what you guys are using and any suggestions what else to try?

iShop International User Experience

Just bought a Nook Simple touch with Glowlight from SAO. The experience is by far the best. Considering that the items are shipped from abroad , the shipping , the details they provide regarding the item and its status are awesome.

Posted Image

They ship the very day when the item reaches thier hub and it hardly takes 1-2 days to reach india. In my case B&N delayed a bit and my address wasnt covered by bluedart , so kind of dealyed , otherwise , you might get your product within a week max , provided the seller from where you purchase (amazon , B&N , etc) doesnt delay in shipping to SAO hub.

I would recommend anyone who wants to buy from abroad to use SAO. Comparatively their pricing is atleast 5-10% cheaper than other sellers.

In accordance with the RBI circular on 'Clean Currency Notes', the facility for exchange of soiled, mutilated & defective currency notes is available at all YES BANK branches. However, we strongly recommend that a currency note should be kept as clean as possible and scribbling be avoided.

BJP targets Ajaz Khan for calling Modi Chor

Posted: 30 Dec 2013 11:13 AM PST


BJP's city unit chief Ganesh Pande said they had filed a defamation complaint against Ajaz.

" How can you use such thuggish language? He ( Modi) is the CM of a state and the PM candidate. How can you abuse him like that without any proof?" Pande said. He added that they suspected that it was a ' cheap stunt' to raise the TRPs of the channel.

Open DNS after login page IP change of Reliance broadband

Posted: 30 Dec 2013 10:56 AM PST

Hello,

 

As you all know Reliance changed their broadband login page IP. Since then I am unable to use Open DNS or Google DNS as the new page doens't open even with the new IP (220.224.142.229). Earlier I used Open DNS and logined using the older IP 10.239.89.15. That IP no longer works.

 

I now have to change the DNS in the router everytime I need to login and then again switch back to Open DNS after successful login - which is a pain. Does anybody know how to open up the login page with Open DNS?

 

Any IP which works with Open DNS or some kind of trick or script?

 

Thanks!

Celebrities joining Aam Aadmi Party

Posted: 30 Dec 2013 09:37 AM PST

Goan singer Remo makes debut in politics, signs up as AAP member


 

"Yesterday was a historic day for me: for the very first time in my life, I joined a political party. Because, for the first time in my life, I believe in a political party. The AAM AADMI PARTY," Remo said on his wall Saturday, a post which clocked 1,000 likes and around 170 comments. "Before those of you who are politically ignorant (like me!) think this means I've 'joined politics and am standing for elections', let me clarify this only means that, like lakhs of people have done in Delhi, I have become a party worker/member by paying a Rs. 10 fee and acquiring a receipt," he said in his post, adding that his signing up for APP means that he agrees with the party's policies and ideologies and is "ready to work to implement them to the best of my ability". "I've had enough of voting for different parties and different leaders and expecting change, but being short-changed each time. Like the saying goes, if I want change, I have to BE the change," the musician said.

Plants vs Zombies 2

Posted: 30 Dec 2013 08:48 AM PST

 

 

The first official trailer for Plants vs. Zombies 2: It's About Time! The awesome sequel to the hit game Plants vs. Zombies will be released in July 2013, exclusively for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch on the App Store.

 

PopCap Games, creator of some of the world's most beloved video game franchises and a division of Electronic Arts, today provided additional details regarding Plants vs. Zombies 2. The highly anticipated sequel to Plants vs. Zombies, a fan favorite among players of all ages, Plants vs. Zombies 2 will be previewed by invitation only at E3 in Los Angeles next week and will launch worldwide on July 18 exclusively for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.

 

Designed from the ground up as a live service, the ever-expanding universe of Plants vs. Zombies 2 continues the epic struggle of plants defending your brainz against zombies from your backyard through the vast reaches of time, both past and future. New worlds with new levels, plants, zombies and new ways to play will be released on an ongoing basis. Leveraging the touch interface of Apple's popular mobile devices, Plants vs. Zombies 2 includes all-new touch-screen power-ups that enable players to "break the fourth wall" and interact with zombies directly, as well as via plant defenses.

 

Also returning for the sequel is Crazy Dave, the addled neighbor who serves as a guide for players and shopkeeper for special plant upgrades and other tools and weapons. New touch-screen power-ups, plant food that supercharges plants, and novel new game mechanics that both help and hinder players' efforts to thwart the zombie hordes will enthrall existing fans and new players alike.

 

Free to download, Plants vs. Zombies 2 will expand and extend the classic gameplay of the original and provide players with dozens of all-new levels, plants and zombies across multiple worlds at no cost. While the vast majority of the game will be entirely free to play (players can face every zombie and access every level in every world at no cost), Plants vs. Zombies 2 players will also be able to purchase upgrades and other in-game items.

 

"It's about time!" said Allen Murray, Senior Producer for Plants vs. Zombies 2. "We're confident that players will see the love and attention we've put into this game. We've created wild new ways to experience the plants and zombies you know and love as well as packing the game with tons of completely new content, and we're still hard at work coming up with even more cool stuff that will keep Plants vs. Zombies 2 fresh and evolving in the months and years following launch."

Hi,

Recently I have upgraded my System with :Tata Sky HD + Yamaha RX 375 AVR + Bostan Acoustic 5.1 speakers.

My connections are : STB to AVR via DAC's optical cable, STB to old LCD via HDMI,

I have calibrated speaker system through Yamaha YPAO.

What's wrong...Thnx

Need advice on *FUP* free Internet Connection.

Posted: 29 Dec 2013 07:32 AM PST

Hello everyone! ,

I apologise for any mistakes that i make as i am new to the forums. (But following it from quite some time now.) I am from Kolhapur,Maharashtra and I currently have BSNL wired broadband with the ULD 950 plan.(4 mbps till 8 GB and 512 kbps beyond). I am having no problems with it so far and it has been quite reliable.But i am a type of downloader and 8 Gb is just..* :anger3: *..Those 8 gigs get used up between 2nd/3rd of every month...Video streaming,windows updates, :pirate: ,etc etc you just can't live with 8 gig in this digital age! The 512 kbps post fup speed is a joke.I connect 4 to 5 devices through wifi and 512 is not enough for all these.

Now i seriously need something truly unlimited and i am literally fed up of this fup! There are really not ISP who provide BB at my area. Airtel/Reliance is not present, Docomo is there but my area, although in middle of city,is not feasible! There's no other ISP's and i am unable to know what should i do.Then i come across BSNL EVDO which has a unlimited plan for ₹ 750 and has speeds upto 3.1 mbps.

Should i take a EVDO connection? How will i share the usb connection through wifi? I am a gamer and i know that Evdo,which is through cdma network would give me too good pings.So i would like to keep my current broadband and lower the plan to ULD 525 and then add Evdo for downloading and all that stuff. Is this correct thing to do? Where would i get the evdo data card and modem? Should i buy the modem from BSNL or buy something like micromax/huawei? I have already registered at uddan.bsnl.com for a new evdo connection. Suggestions from you guys are really needed. Thanks in advance!

Poor Service from YOU in Chennai

Posted: 29 Dec 2013 02:58 AM PST

I've had the worst experience with YOU broadband service in Chennai. Ive been using YOU broadband for the past six months. Sharing with you the troubles I have faced so far, so that no one has to undergo the same sufferings..

 

First I opted for a 3 month -10mbps speed,  once it reached the download limit of 30Gb the speed was so pathetic, even airtel 2g connection would load a page bit quicker than YOU broadband. Complaints about it went unheard, we normally get a good response from Call centre guys but the backend team(call centre guys calls them so) doesn't even turn up to solve the request.

 

After this bad experience I went for a 1 month - 12mbps connection speed, I had a good speed initially but then as reported in this forum the speed will go down during day hours and pick up only around night hours. Raising complaints about it didn't fix the issue, but I will receive a message alone from YOU saying "your problem is resolved..." as these guys have to solve the complaint within certain days. So they seem to close the request without even attending it.

 

Last month was so horrible with YOU. I had a complete outage for 10 days, during which I would call every day to follow up on the request, inspite of my busy days in office. I would have called their call centre guys around 20 - 25 times...everytime i was assured that the issue will be fixed but nothing would happen or no one will turn up. Finally on 11th day of continuous calling the issue was fixed. Now I started calling them to credit those 10 days into my account, they took the request and they closed it without even solving, I again raised two more complaints like that, still they were not ready to credit those days. Then after feeling enough is enough, i asked them to discontinue their services, and that request was resolved immediately.They are ready to loose a customer but not ready to add those 10 days into my account.

 

I reside in Thiruvanmiyur area of Chennai. Please seriously reconsider if you are opting to choose YOU BB - VERY POOR SERVICE & SPEED IS SLOW DURING DAY HOURS.

 

Please share your experiences with YOU in Chennai.

 

Regards,

Amar

New Locality Broadband Crisis. Help!

Posted: 29 Dec 2013 01:35 AM PST

I've been struggling to find a broadband connection here in Mukherjee Nagar (110009). My apartments (DDA) are relatively new - that may be a reason why I can't find a broadband connection. :\
All I am asking for is a ~1Mbps connection for under 1K per month.

My attempts have been futile so far. Paid MTNL an advance amount of 500 already about 6 months back. No word from them after paying them the advance amount.
Tried contacting Tikona - filled in their form online, also called their customer care. No response whatsoever.
Other ISP plans haven't convinced me to contact them. I've been considering IPTV by Airtel, but read about degradation of their services.

Please suggest some ISPs that can give me an affordable plan and a good service, specifically for my area.

Thanks.

Airtel overcharging data usage

Posted: 28 Dec 2013 10:42 PM PST

I have an Airtel Broadband connection with account no 7006608586. The account has been active since July 2013. While using the connection I had always suspected that Airtel was overcharging the actual data usage but could not substantiate it. However I installed a data counter and checked the usage and was shocked. Last month my monthly quota of 40 GB was declared exhausted by airtel after I'd used just 30 GB. This month too I've received am email telling me that the free usage of 40 GB is over even while I've hardly used 25 GB. This is actually insane. Thus I've decided to get the connection disconnected and go with BSNL or ACT Broadband. However I feel that its my duty to inform other users so that they don't get ripped off like me. Its about time that Airtel realises that they cannot get away with this every time.

Hathway needs Cable Connection to give Internet?

Posted: 28 Dec 2013 07:32 PM PST

Apologies if duplicate, i did not find a thread which discusses this.

 

So I wanted a new internet connection in Goregaon East and I applied for Hathway. They Initially they took the form and cheque, and promised to do the installation. However, later they called back and said they cannot install broadband since "I don't subscribe to a cable connection from them". They did, however, promise to refund the money.

 

This sounds like an extortion scheme to me. As a customer, I should be having a choice to subscribe to internet without subscribing to cable connection (Yes, I know I am in India, but still....). I am not sure if such extortion is even legal?? Just wanted the advice of this forum on if I can do anything (more than angry tweets) to get these horrible guys to do something, or do we just have to take this lying down???

 

It's now 2 weeks I am trying to get a broadband connection in Goregaon. Can't believe I live in India's biggest metro....

Hi Guys,

 

I am using Airtel BB in Noida and I'm not able to connect to WoW, Diablo3 and League of Legends today. Also some of the sites are not opening up. This happened 2 days back as well, but things sorted themselves out.

 

I think the international gateway is down. Anyone else experiencing the same problems?

BSNL - EVDO - Usage - Review and everything about it

BSNL - EVDO - Usage - Review and everything about it

I know its a old school connection , about 4 years old but till now there isnt a better wireless plan compared to this till now

Rs 750 Pm True Unlimited . Prepaid

Pros:
1. True Unlimited no FUPs - i download around 100-150 Gbs a month, i can download upto 200-300 Gbs but i run out of files :redface:
2. Priced cheap compared to others , when they charge Rs 1000 with 10 Gb FUP
3. U dont have to talk to the customer care ever

Cons:
1. it has too many
2. Coverage is too thin , forget about slow speed there are places where u wont get any service at all
3. u just cannot walk to a BSNL office and buy this sim , because 70% of them doesnt know there is a service like this
4. CDMA
5. Availability of CDMA- EVDO modems in the market
6. Recharge Problems , those STVs mentioned on the site dont work most of the time ( lost Rs 1000 over online Recharge couple of times)

even after all the above i just love this connection , its prepaid and costs 750 pm , unlimited
have nice coverage in my town , so always get 1-2mbps , but dont ask about the ping or latency values :mad:

with this connection i have never thought about another connection for 3 years now .

have some doubts ? want details ? ask it here

happy to help

Wiring up home for fibre

Posted: 28 Dec 2013 09:14 AM PST

Hi,

  Couldn't find a better subfolder to post this in...apologies if off-topic. With my current setup, I have hidden CAT6 and telephone cable running around the house with an entry point for telecom providers outside. With fibre optic providers coming in, is it possible to run such fibre cables so that I can have an entry point for the telecoms fibre cable at an accessible point - and from there to my room through the hidden fibre cable. If so, what kind of cable should I run and what kind of connectors should I terminate with? I tried googling, but, got lost in all the different connector types available... Thanks

 

Samsung Galaxy Note 3

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! 

JustEat User Experiences

I want to use the online payment method on Justeat.in . One issue that I encountered with Dominos on online payment is that the delivery guy still asks for cash even after the order has been paid online via credit card. Is this the same case for justeat.in? Has anyone tried their online payment service? 

My experience with ACT BB

Posted: 28 Dec 2013 06:24 AM PST

Feedback whether positive or negative should be passed to the appropriate person. That's what I believe in.

 

This is the timeline of how my installation experience has been with ACT BB.

 

11 Nov-2013 - I applied for a new ACT BB connection today in Kundanahalli Gate, Bangalore. I will keep you posted on the developments. 

 

11-Nov-2013 - Cheque payment made to Sales executive, Babu Reddy, details filled on form and submitted to him.
ETA - 3 days for wiring and connection to be activated.

12-Nov-2013 - 
I got a call from ACT technician today that cabling would be done by end of the day. Got a confirmation call from Customer Care at 1543 hrs, IST today that connection will be activated in 2 days. So far, so good.

 

12-Nov-2013 - At 1616 hrs, IST I receive a call from Mukund who is the ACT technician saying that the wiring has been completed to my apartment on the third floor and i would be receiving a call today at 1700 hrs, IST for username and password. Mukund confirms that I can use my internet connection from tonight.

I would term this as awesome service from an installation perspective, although I would have to wait and watch how stable the connection is post installation.

12-Nov-2013 - 
Cabling has been completed and just received the credentials for my broadband account at 2059 hrs, IST through email and the registered mobile number. A confirmation call was made from the customer care before the account got activated.I am still out, so I gotta go and check how the connection is. I will keep you posted. 

I have connected the cable from ACT BB to my Netgear WGR614 router.

In case, someone wants to have the contact details of the sales person & field engineer of ACT for Kundalahalli area, let me know.

Speed test shows rocking upload and download speeds. I am on Act Force plan.

12-Nov-2013 1159, IST - First level checks indicate amazing speeds with YouTube where I can watch videos without buffering in Full HD.


I will keep posting various workloads I consider to be bandwidth intensive and would update this thread.

 

Any downtime or disconnections will also be reported.

The battery of my dad's friend's mobile MMX A111 doodle seems to have got damaged and he needs a replacement. He enquired in 2-3 shops and they said it would cost about 900 and may take 1 or 2 weeks to get, so he was asking me if something can be obtained quicker' , I saw 1-2 sites where it was priced similar, only one place, rediff where it was 500 or so. In addition I see people selling replacement battery of ERD brand for 500 saying high capacity' . are they even worth considering.. so looking for suggestions on this one...

Buy new wifi modem or take new connection from different ISP who offers free wifi modem

Posted: 28 Dec 2013 04:41 AM PST

Hi

 

My nokia-siemens wifi modem stopped working and now I need to buy new one which costs 1700-2000 Rs .

 

Is it better to change from BSNL to other ISP who provides free wifi modem and connection  ? or is there a way that BSNL replaces my modem for free . They are saying no stock available with them .

 

I will be using only internet and not much usage of LAN or data transfer between devices , I think this can be served by a normal wifi

modem.

 

My previous modem worked for 3.5 years , Is this max age of any modem ? which means I need to spend 2k for every 3 years  once.

 

Thanks

Chinna

Reliance Broadband and Netgear N150 WNR612

Posted: 27 Dec 2013 09:38 PM PST

Hello friends,

 

I've purchased Netgear WNR612 router to use my reliance broadband on wireless devices like Laptop, mobile etc.

My reliance connection doesn't come with a modem.

There is only a single ethernet cable which goes directly to my laptops ethernet port.

 

I've tried every possible combination to and from laptop/router with this cable and the ethernet cable that has been provided with the router but without any success. :(

Please tell me (step by step if possible) how to configure this router to be able to use my reliance broadband with it.

 

Eagerly waiting for your reply.

 

Thanks and regard.

Former Champ: Schu could return to racing

Saturday 1st December 2007

Posted Image


Former F1 Champion Alan Jones reckons Michael Schumacher may be considering a comeback after an impressive test at Barcelona two week's ago.

Although Schumacher retired from F1 at the end of the 2006 season, the German returned to action with Ferrari at the Spanish track in the first of the winter tests.

The seven-time World Champion proved to be the man to beat as he dominated the timesheets during his two days of testing.

And although Schumacher has stated many times that his test does not mean he will be making a competitive comeback, Jones reckons the thought has to have crossed Schumi's mind.

"After nearly a year out of the saddle, I can image him thinking, 'Maybe I'd like to have another go.' It must be just like coming back from an extended Christmas break," Jones told Autosport.

"He used to take a couple of months off at the end of each season, so another few months won't make a big difference. Two or three years might have done.

"It's a win-win situation: Ferrari gains from his expertise and he enjoys it. And you can never rule out a comeback - he might be thinking, 'I'm really enjoying this!' Money won't be his motivation, it will be to prove a point.

"Niki Lauda was out for several seasons and came back and won the title. Michael could do the same."

Schumacher misses Massa's wedding day

Dec.3 (GMM) A representative for Michael Schumacher has played down speculation that he may have fallen out with his former Ferrari teammate Felipe Massa.



In the presence of many of his Ferrari colleagues, 26-year-old married his fiancee Rafaela Bassi, who is 27, in Sao Paulo last Friday, according to reports from Brazil and Italy.



Among the 800 guests were team bosses Jean Todt and Stefano Domenicali, as well as Mario Almondo, Aldo Costa and Luca Baldisserri -- but not Schumacher, his 2006 teammate.



Massa's countryman Rubens Barrichello also attended, reports said.



Days earlier, the former seven time world champion, Schumacher, won a karting event hosted by Massa in the southern Brazilian city of Florianopolis.



The German newspaper Bild am Sonntag said Schumacher had celebrated Massa's impending marriage with his former teammate and friend in the days prior.



A representative for Schumacher said: "Michael is currently in the United States for a family vacation."
