^ ^ ^ For a Droid Incredible 2 which is not MEID registered with Reliance or other carrier and is used through the chinese ROM via UIM Card in CDMA Mode, no updates can be applied as it may break the UIM card functionality. You'll have to wait for the updated chinese ROM. Same principle will apply for ICS update too as and when it becomes available. For a handset which is MEID registered and working on CDMA without the UIM card, RUU should work well. If one is using only for GSM, then too RUU should work. This is my educated guess. Some Incredible 2 owner will be in a better position to confirm authentically.

Effective 16th Feb 2012, the new PAYG plan of 2p/10KB would be applicable for all CDMA RIM subscribers (Postpaid Only). In addition to this, below mentioned CDMA MobileNet data plans would be available to opt as data plans for new acquisitions by weekend (Postpaid Only). Business rules and migration plan for existing CDMA RIM Subscribers PAYG/Plan having Age On Plan > 6 months and < 6 months is also attached for reference.

Think Your Smartphone is Sluggish, Your Memory Card is The Culprit Source Source Source This was a revelation waiting to happen. After spending thousands behind that latest dual core android beasts, do you still think, it lags in performance. Your Memory Card is to be blamed for that... Reason perhaps Apple Still does not allow Memory Cards in iPhones after all this years!!! As per a recent study, "Revisiting Storage For Smartphones" at the Georgia Institute of Techbology on File and Storage Technologies.. Download Full Study Paper >> http://static.usenix..._papers/Kim.pdf With manufacturers focusing on the speed and number of cores a smartphone’s processor features, megapixel numbers, and network technologies like LTE, the performance of an Android handset should largely be based on its hardware, right? Wrong, according to a new study undertaken by researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology. The type and brand of microSD storage installed in the device could just as well be the culprit. Their study that found that flash storage often accounted for a 100 to 300 percent drop in performance. In one instance the numbers dipped by an astonishing 2,000 percent. The researchers tested top selling 16GB embedded flash memory cards in several Android smartphones and found performance over WiFi varied between 100% to 300% across applications. In one flash memory test, performance dropped more than 20X. Ironically, benchmarking tests showed that some lower grade microSD cards performed better than some higher grade cards. As for naming names, Kim writes that Kingston's microSD card performs so badly that its results need to be removed from test data to get realistic averages. Transcend performs the best for random writes by as much as a factor of 100 compared to the competition. The bottom line is that the brand of microSD card you use in your device does make a difference in how fast it runs. Kim checked the launch time for eight popular apps including Angry Birds, Twitter and YouTube and found that Kingston's microSD cards offered up the slowest times for most of the apps. And for those who complain about how sluggish their Android model is, a change in the microSD card brand you use could make the difference. "A good chunk of time for users is spent waiting for websites to load ... [and for] applications to load," said Hyojun Kim, a Ph.D. student in the College of Computing at Georgia Tech. And, while waiting for apps to load is annoying, a more nefarious impact of poor flash performance is that it depletes a smartphone's battery. Kim said wireless network performance has kept pace with most of today's mobile applications, as have the single and dual core CPUs being used in today's sophisticated smartphones. What hasn't kept pace is the bandwidth of NAND flash, he said. "Why would anyone want to see a 20-second wait time on their phone, particularly if the network is not the problem," he said. The research identified the problem with poor flash device performance to be rooted in random I/O from application databases such as heavy random writes. In flash memory, random write performance is orders of magnitude worse than sequential writes, Kim said. The smartphone tests involved the use of applications such as WebBench Browser, Facebook, Android Email. Google Maps, App Install, Pulse News Reader, and RLBench SQLite. The flash cards came from Transcend, RiData, SanDisk, Kingston, Wintec, A-Data, Patriot Memory and PNY. "Apart from the benefits of selecting a good flash card, there are some fundamental ways we're using storage in a bad way," he said, referring to the way many applications are created to write data randomly, which causes flash performance to fall of a cliff.

^^^ Toh chalo Aalok Bhai hum apke OT ko "Off Topic" ki jagah "ON TOPIC" maan lete hain.

Kya Aalokbhai.. Off topic thread ko bhi aap Off Topic kar sakte ho.. Vaise doc saab ne abhi tak thigh land wala 1TB kisiko diya nahi hai! So i thought, let's do with baby photo instead of babes photo.
