If they can maintain the speed 24hours it would be great

STV used: Rs55 Unlimited

On website its written 1day unlimited but those who have used it  might know already that its 2days unlimited

BSNL still the best in Wireless Broadband No TataPhoton, Mblaze or Reliance Netconnect can beat BSNL EVDO

of all these days I was using USB hub for only connecting a device but once I moved a couple of things

to this Cheapo Hub, everything was getting connected and then disconnected again and again,

reason was obvious USB power available from Laptop was not enough to drive all these devices together.

So I opened my Rs.100 Hub and inserted a few components and Now Its working fine with multiple devices running at the same time.

Powered by our evergreen Nokia Slim PIN charger 

Now Connecting without any error USB Mouse + android + chill pad (thermal master) + a USB Pen Drive/Laserjet , all together never worked earlier on this HUB, they worked like a charm.

if anyone else here has D.I.Y. itch like I have, please feel free to post your questions.

I used following parts
1 x Blue 3mm L.E.D.
1 x 33 ohm 1/4w resistor
1 x IN4007 Dioide
1 x Nokia power jack (female)

Total cost Rs.5/-

The diode is used in +5V wire coming from PC USB port, so power from external source is not sent back to laptop which would
have resulted in hardware malfunction.

India gets its second time zone as Assam turns its clock ahead by an hour | NDTV.com

 

 

Preparations are underway in the north-eastern state to advance clocks an hour ahead of the standard time followed across the country.

"Such a time zone already exists in tea gardens . People will become more energetic and we will save on energy consumption too," state chief minister Tarun Gogoi said.

The government says the logic is simple: in Assam and other north-eastern states, sunrise happens as early as 5 am and it is pitch dark by 5 pm in the winters and a little later in the summers.

So sticking to IST means a loss of daylight hours and a decrease in productivity. For instance, a farmer in Assam is ready to work a good one hour before her or his counterpart in a state like Gujarat.

IFTTT / SMS me when my friends are in the neighborhood by mcb

My uncle shifted his house last week and called DishTV for sending someone to remove the dish and then reinstall. He was quoted 300rs for this.

The guy who came, pulled the wire roughly from the LnB without bothering to unscrew it.

That evening during installation, I happened to be at his new residence. I asked the guy to install the LnB alone on an already existing TataSky dish cabled to the TV port in the hall. The guy tried to con me saying the quality of the signal or strength in his meter is only 50% and he cannot use the LnB, will have to pay 650 for a new one. I told him this is bullshit as it was working perfectly this morning. He then showed me the broken end of the cable that he had pulled claiming the cable was rusted and hence the LnB is bad. I persisted and told him it will work, first fit it and then if it doesnt work will buy.

He said he is unable to even find the signal as it is so bad. I asked him (nicely) to use an existng LnB of his and then replace it with our LnB. On doing this, to his consternation, it worked very well. He kept muttering that we will run into problem etc. Finally he said the fee is not 300 and 425. 

I am shocked at this level of fraud and am considering moving out of DishTV to Videocon - as Videocon is cheaper, more HD channels and STB works out free on an annual plan.

I also recall, these a$$holes had made me change my LnB in a similar manner when I called them for adjusting the dish direction a few years back...

Am writing this down so you guys are aware of the level these guys stoop to...

i see number of vids on youtbe and they come witih error ""sorry a problem occurred "" sometime it solve on refresh other time it persist.... i m on 2mbps mtnl delhi.... it's only recently that this problem is facing too frequent .. does sometime remmeber the old cacheyoutube on mtnl 

also look at this for the global outrage and tricks ..

Dear fellow IFB-ians, I have shared the following new product idea with the Videocon D2h team. Can you please go through the following and help me know if it is a good idea?

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....

Samsung has revealed the Galaxy Camera 2, the successor to the Android-powered Galaxy Camera, this time running Android 4.3 Jelly Bean on a 1.6GHz quadcore processor, and packing a 16-megapixel BSI CMOS sensor. Debuting at CES 2014, the Galaxy Camera 2 also packs a bigger battery – now boosted to 2,000 mAh for more shots on a single charge – in addition to 2GB of RAM for faster app switching. Connectivity includes WiFi a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, and NFC, with the latter being used for a new Tap & Go sharing system for easy transfer of photos between the Galaxy Camera 2 and nearby smartphones.On the camera side, there's a 16.3-megapixel, 1/2.3-inch backside-illuminated CMOS sensor paired with a 21x optical zoom (f/2.8-5.9) and optical image stabilization. ISO 100-3200 is supported, along with continuous shooting and up to 1080/30p video recording, while on top there's a pop-up Xenon flash. A 4.8-inch HD touchscreen is used for control.

I was recently prompted by a friend to shop at http://www.shopclues.com/ for their 'Sunday Flea Market'. The items of interest mobile phone covers. There was a code which would get you a cover for Rs 63+ shipping. I created my login then went about selecting the relevant mobile covers, the quantity, added the promo code which showed it was valid. But it did made no difference to the overall billing amount which was Rs 758/-. Now it should have been only 63*2+29=155. So I cancelled y order, I tried again later & got the same result. That was when I decided to delete my a/c but to my shock I could NOT do so, I went thru the FAQ's here's what I found.

'Deactivate my account

Please contact us at shopclues.com/support'

Now this is pasted from their site

But if you go to the above mentioned link there is no way to contact them. When I mentioned this to my friend, he tried from his a/c & it was the same story so he volunteered to post on their FB page (I don't have an a/c) but the shocking thing is that his post can be seen only by him. It cannot be seen by anyone who is not logged in OR by other FB members who can login & go to this page. I am now stuck as

• I cannot delete my a/c (I find this totally unacceptable)
• Cannot remove my personal details like name/address/cell no. OR even change those details from their site
• I cannot communicate with them in any way, if I don't have a pending order with them (I assume this is possible if you have a pending order)
• If you post on their FB page it's not visible to anyone else. For those who want to check look at their post which says 'Last Sunday of 2013 29th Dec 2013' (I don't want to post their FB post pic here. Don't want to give them free publicity)

So guys I posted about  my experience of this here to caution anyone who is tempted to shop there.

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..*  *..Those 8 gigs get used up between 2nd/3rd of every month...Video streaming,windows updates,  ,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!

hi Guys,

Its frustrating that BSNL is yet to launch truly unlimited 1/2/4 Mbps plans for < 1500Rs. Its perpetually offering 512Kbps speeds from last 4-5 years. Not only that, they are not even offering speed boost say after 6pm like MTNL does. Its not only about downloading torrents. Even if i want to watch Youtube files, I am not able to with 512kbps. They should start offering speed boost to 2/4Mbps at 6pm to 8am slot if offering the same at daytime is not possible. What can we do in this situation ? Can we all raise a CRM ticket at selfcare portal to demand this ?

Sanket.

Hi Everyone,

I am facing a problem with my Nokia Siemens 1600 router ( 4 years old).

Scenario 1:

Ethernet Cable plugged to the router + Wi-Fi is enabled

When the Ethernet cable is plugged into the router and also when Wi-Fi is enabled (Wi-Fi enabling/disabling through http://192.168.1.1),  all the LED's except Power LED goes off. Then DSL will be blinking for few minutes and it will turn off... again it will blink and goes off.. this cycle repeats without making any internet connection.

Scenario 2:

Ethernet Cable unplugged from the router and Wi-Fi is enabled

When the Ethernet cable is not plugged into the router and when Wi-Fi is enabled modem will be connected to Internet and I can surf the internet through my smartphone without any disconnection.

Scenario 3:

Ethernet Cable plugged to the router and Wi-Fi is disabled

When the Ethernet cable is plugged into the router and Wi-Fi is disabled then I can access Internet from my PC without any interruption in connection.

Bottom Line of my problem is I cant use Wi-Fi through my smartphone and Internet through PC at the same time.

Either one must be disabled to get the other working.

Please help me. What is the Problem here. I couldn't find out.

I am unable to get any help from BSNL people. They simply closes my complaint without solving.

I am selling my Tata Sky HD box.

Hardly used 3 months almost brand new .

Intersted person can contact me via Pm

I can ship anywhere in india .

Thanks

A BBNL technician recently told me that FTTH will be introduced soon ( possibly by Jan/Feb 2014 ).

With 'fiber to the home' I am hoping consistent speed ,bettery quality and hopefully lesser down times.

Existing modem will be replaced with a fiber optic modem and the technician says it would be a free replacement. He also said that faster speed plans apart from the current max of 10 mbps ( unlimited download ) are also in the anvil.

Cheers to BBNL!

Lenovo Vibe Z leads CES 2014 Android smartphone gush - Android Community

 

Lenovo has outed a bevy of new Android smartphones, ranging from the company's first LTE handset, the Vibe Z, through a 6-inch S930 phablet, 5-inch A859, and finally a 4.7-inch S650, all new to CES 2014. Star of the quartet is the Lenovo Vibe Z, with 150/50 LTE, a 5.5-inch 1080p IPS LCD display, and a 7.9mm thick, 147g chassis; it runs Android 4.3 Jelly Bean on a Snapdragon 800 2.2GHz quadcore with 2GB of memory. There's also up to 16GB of internal storage, a 13-megapixel f/1.8 rear camera, and a 5-megapixel front camera with wide-angel 84-degree lens for fitting more in your selfies. In addition to the LTE, there's 2100MHz UMTS, WiFi 802.11ac, and Bluetooth 4.0. Lenovo expects the Vibe Z to go on sale in February at $549 in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and the Philippines.

Hi,

I'm on an MTNLMumbai 999 Unlimited connection and I usually have no problems with my net. But today morning, when i tried to access the net, nothing seems to be connecting. I'm trying to figure out if anyone else is having these issues and what I can do to resolve it.

Here's what I've tried so far:

Opened router page: Page opens with speed details, SNR, etc. but the status is showing 'not connected'. Specifically, the IP address, Gateway, and DNS fields are 0.0.0.0

Pinged gateway and IP: Both pings were successful. DNS server pings were not though.

Restarted PC a few times: No luck

So far, i've logged a complaint on MTNL's website but I don't know what else to do. Can someone help me out? Should I call up the exchange or something?

I'm connected to the Union Park exchange and I can't seem to find the exchange number to call them.

As for the Lenovo S930, that has the same etched body style as the Vibe Z, but fits in a 6-inch 1280 x 720 display instead. It has a MediaTek quadcore processor and is 8.7mm thick, however, with stereo speakers and Dolby Digital Plus audio.

The Lenovo S650 has the same processor, thickness, and styling, but gets a 4.7-inch 960 x 540 display instead. Both the S650 and S930 have an 8-megapixel main camera with flash and 8GB of internal storage, as well as dual-SIM for having two SIM cards in a single phone.

Finally, the A859 slots somewhere in-between, with a 5-inch 1280 x 720 IPS LCD display. It too gets a MediaTek processor – in this case the 6582 – running Android 4.2, along with an 8-megapixel camera, 8GB of internal storage, and a 9.2mm thick chassis that Lenovo will offer in black or white.
