Looks like it is disabled for ALL. It was closed after the scam came into light in the other topic. It is mentioned in the guidelines page.Revision of the guidelines should to be done to make it fool-proof rather than just an amendment. Escrow seems to be the only fool-proof option to avoid an Abhishek Pujar (will be hereafter referred as AP) because: * post count limit can still be surpassed by an AP unless if it is a high number. However if it is a high number (some suggested 100, 200, etc. in the other topic) then a genuine member with lesser number of posts who have a good deal to offer will be missed. AP had posted at-least 25+ posts over a long period of time to reach the 10 approved post limit as the rest of the posts were unapproved when his posting trend appeared to suggest that he might be trying to increase post count to open a Sale topic. AP did not get discouraged by that and kept his patience; 99% of those who do that won't have the patience usually. Anyway a limit of 25 does sound "optimal" * waiting period can be proved ineffective as AP's account was almost an year old. * Feedback for a few transactions can also be ineffective as I see that AP did sell some handsets initially to some members as per the replies in the topic. AP's case is indeed a "rarest of the rare" case, so the above changes will surely work for 99% of the transactions (and so it will be amended), but didn't we start the discussion about revising the guidelines to totally avoid a case like AP? I was looking to force at-least the new sellers to use eBay for the transactions. I thought it would cost the seller around 5% (i.e. 1% for CDMA phones listing + 4.5% for PaisaPay) only which can be recovered by the buyer using coupons. I see that someone has mentioned few posts above that is exactly 6.325% which I still think is not bad when you can get 5% or above coupons from various offers, right? Handling money between 2 parties is something that needs to be done professionally and an individual cannot ALWAYS be depended to do that; as an individual will have their own other priorities, family, work, etc. God forbid if something happens to the individual then I would end up getting the flak from the seller/buyer and I would have no options whatsoever to resolve the issue as it wasn't a professional agreement with a company. If there is a professional company that does a third party escrow service then it would be worth taking a look. Asking for scan of ID card/address proof is a good idea, but I don't think one can ask and keep another person's ID proof without having permission to do that from the authorities? Other than the eBay (or any other) escrow arrangement and the proposed changes mentioned by RM in the first post, I am also looking at implementing a form based submission system for the Sell forum (at-least for new members) so that the details mentioned in the Sell topics will have more clarity and proper information with pictures that shows fine details of the item. Some members continue to copy-paste the format from other's topic and wouldn't even care to make necessary changes in the item details. The form submission will be verified by a moderator and if the content submitted is acceptable (if not then the member would be informed to make changed or update) then the member can post the topic. Yes, it would take time for the seller's topic to appear (as it need to be verified first) and more work for the moderator (hope the moderators & would-be moderators won't run away now ), but I would prefer quality than quantity in the Sell topics.

I know many dont want to root the phone but want to have complete backup of their app+data and here is a guide how it can be done: We will see how you can take backup of Android apps along with their associated data and settings without rooting your phone. Those of you who are not running a rooted Android OS and are looking for ways to take backup of saved game content, this tool can help you with that. I am not sure about the fact, but I think that the tool only works for Android devices running Ice Cream Sandwich and above. Still you can try it out on the Ginger Bread devices and let us know if it worked. Of course, you should proceed with caution and only proceed if you are sure because we aren’t responsible if you brick your phone in the process. Note: The tool requires Android SDK to be installed on your computer and if you don’t already have it, you can refer to this article (the first two steps) to install and configure it. Taking a BackupStep 1: Download the latest build on the Ultimate Backup Tool from XDA Developers Site and extract all the contents to a folder. It’s not necessary that you make a folder in the path where you have installed ADB. The tool will automatically detect it on your computer, if it’s installed. Step 2: Turn on USB Debugging on your Android phone and connect it to the computer using the data cable. You can find the option to turn on USB debugging in Android Settings—>Developer options. Check the option and close it. Step 3: Now run the UBT (Ultimate Backup Tool) batch file from the folder you extracted the tool. UTB runs in command line mode and if it detects both: the ADB and the connected device, it will load up after completing initial checks. If the tool fails to load, there might be some problems with your ADB drivers or USB Debugging mode which you will have to check. Step 4: After the tool loads up, the first thing you will have to do is configure the backup directory. The default directory that the tool uses is C:\backup and the best thing to do would be to keep it as it is. Having done that, you will see many backup options that it provides and each of them will have a number associated with it. If you would like to backup all the apps along with its associated data, select the option 4 and press Enter. Step 5: The tool will start the backup process and prompt you to confirm the same on your phone. You can provide an optional encryption password before taking the backup. After the tool completes the backup process, you will get a confirmation dialog box notifying you about the same. The backup process may take a considerable amount of time depending upon the number of applications installed on your device. So that was how you can take the backup of the apps. Let’s now see how to restore it. Note: Currently there is no way to take backup of only selected apps. It’s either everything or nothing. Restoring a BackupWhen you want to restore the apps, connect the device to your computer using the data cable and run the Ultimate Backup Tool batch file. This time select option 8 corresponding to restore. Once you start the restore process, the tool will prompt you to confirm it on your phone as well. If you have encrypted the backup, provide the password while restoring the app. That’s all, all the apps along with their associated data and saved content will be eventually restored to your phone. ConclusionI am sure non-rooted Android users who always criticized their phone when it came to backup will love this trick. The only problem with the current version of the tool is that it does not provide selective backup and restore options. But you never know, it might be fixed in the future updates. Source

A fabulous meet concludes .. Will update in detail soon. Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2

India Gang Rape Victim's Father: I Want The World To Know My Daughter's Name is Jyoti Singh Pandey Source Devastated dad tells The Sunday People he hopes revealing her name will give courage to other women who have survived such attacks She is known to the world only as India’s Daughter following her sickening gang rape and murder. But today, with permission of her devastated father, we can reveal her name: Jyoti Singh Pandey. Brave dad Badri, 53, told The Sunday People: “We want the world to know her real name. “My daughter didn’t do anything wrong, she died while protecting herself. “I am proud of her. Revealing her name will give courage to other women who have survived these attacks. They will find strength from my daughter.” We interviewed Badri and his family in his ancestral village of Billia in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. They have retreated there to grieve away from their Delhi home – a place that will constantly remind them of the barbaric sexual attack Jyoti, 23, was subjected to when she and a male friend were lured on to a bus. His wife Asha, 46, was too shell-shocked to talk to us. Badri said: “At first I wanted to see the men responsible face to face but I don’t want to any more. I just want to hear that the courts have punished them and they will be hanged. “Death for all six of them. These men are beasts. They should be made an example of and that society will not allow such things to happen.” Recalling the day he found out about his only daughter’s ordeal, Badri said he had just returned home after 10:30pm on December 16 from his shift at Delhi airport where he works as a loader. His wife was worried after Jyoti, a medical school graduate, had not returned home from the cinema. Badri said: “We started calling her mobile and her friend’s mobile but there was no answer. “Then at 11.15pm we got a call from the hospital in Delhi telling me my daughter had been in an accident.” Badri asked a friend to take him on a motorbike. He said: “When I first saw her she was in the bed with her eyes closed. “I put my hand on her forehead and called her name. She slowly opened her eyes and started crying and said she was in pain. “I held my tears. I told her not to worry, have strength and everything will be all right.” At the time Badri still didn’t know what had happened. A policeman finally explained. Jyoti and her friend Awindra Pandey, 28, had boarded a bus to get home but had been taken on a two-and-a-half hour ride to hell by the driver, his assistant and four passengers. Both were battered with iron bars and Jyoti was repeatedly raped before they were stripped and dumped on a road leading to Delhi airport – yards from where Badri was working. He said: “I immediately called my wife and sons and told them to come to the hospital. But I couldn’t tell them about the rape.” For the first ten days Jyoti was in and out of consciousness and it was hopeful she would survive. Badri said: “Doctors did their best to save her. She spoke a few times but mostly through gestures. She had a feeding pipe in her mouth making it difficult for her to speak. But she did write on some paper that she wanted to live, she wanted to survive and stay with us. But it was fate that had the last say in the end.” Jyoti gave the police two statements, but Badri was too distraught to sit in as he couldn’t listen to what his daughter had been subjected to. “My wife was with her through the statements but she cried so much after hearing it all,” Badri said. “She then told me what happened. I don’t have the words to describe the incident. All I can say is they’re not human, not even animals. They’re not of this world. “It was just gruesome and I hope no one ever goes through what she had to endure. “She cried a lot, she was in a lot of pain. And as soon as she saw her mother and brothers she cried again. “But after that she was a courageous girl, even trying to console us and give us hope that everything will be all right.” Doctors were forced to remove Jyoti’s intestines and as her conditioned worsened, they flew her to Singapore for specialist care on Boxing Day. Badri said: “I told her everything would be OK and we’ll soon be back home. She was excited when we talked about going home and she smiled. “I put my hand on her forehead, she asked me if I’d had any dinner and then she gestured for me to go to sleep. I held her hand and kissed it. I told her to take rest and not to worry and she closed her eyes.” As Jyoti battled for life, thousands took to the streets to demand the hanging of the six accused and a new anti-rape law. But three days later on December 29 she had a fatal heart attack. Badri said: “I so desperately wanted her to survive, even though she would have to live with a memory of that attack and get through her trauma. “We’re so devastated that she’s gone. There’s a huge void in our lives. She was the centre of our universe. Our lives revolved around her. “Her absence is so painful, a future without her is unimaginable.” Badri said Jyoti’s friend Awindra was not her boyfriend – just a very brave friend who tried to save her. He said: “There was no question of her marrying because we belong to different castes. “She never expressed a desire to marry. She was concentrating on her studies and wanted a job first.” Badri also revealed that Jyoti often mentioned how much Awindra tried to save her. “She kept telling her mother he tried his best to help but they kept beating him with a rod.” Badri now cherishes the memories of his daughter. He remembers her dream of being a doctor. He said: “I told her I can’t afford to pay for her to do such subjects but she was determined. She wanted to be a doctor and earn lots of money and go overseas a lot.” When Badri first moved to Delhi in 1983 he earned just 150 Rupees a month – the equivalent of £1.70 today. But he sold some land to pay for his daughter’s studies and saved as much as possible from his 5,700 Rupees (£65) a month he now earns. Badri said: “It’s hard living in Delhi on my wages, very hard. But Jyoti always said she would change all of that. She wanted to change our lives once she got a job.” Jyoti had only just finished her four-year course in physiotherapy at college outside Delhi. She was doing an internship when she was attacked. Her brothers, Gaurav Singh, 20, and Saurav Singh, 15, were close to their big sister and cannot image how they will cope. Gaurav said: “Life is going to be so difficult without her. Without her guidance I don’t know what to do or how to go about life again.” Badri and all the family have been touched by the way the nation has supported them. He said: “The people of India have given us strength to cope up with our loss. I feel she’s not just my daughter but also India’s daughter. “I used to read about rape incidents in the newspapers but never digested it much. We’re so thankful to the people who came out to protest against the barbarity.” DNA tests have linked five men and a 17-year-old from the bus with rape and murder. The men will appear at the District Court in the Saket area of the Indian capital tomorrow. The 17-year-old will be tried separately as a juvenile. Badri now hopes mothers and fathers will teach their sons to respect women. He said: “The police cannot handle this on their own. But parents need to keep an eye on their children too.” Badri’s face lit up when he spoke of Jyoti’s dreams and invited us to look through his family album. Each photo showed his beautiful daughter smiling. In most she is wears western clothes, which she favoured over the traditional sari. She also always wore her long, dark shiny hair down and flowing – never tied up. In respect with Badri’s wishes he has asked us not to picture her. Releasing a photo of her is for another day. Indian law prohibits naming a rape victim unless she authorises it or, if she is dead, her family agrees to it. At the moment it is enough for the devastated family to sanction the release to the world of their precious daughter’s name.

Arun good post as always. Can I also suggest that members strictly use the feedback system? At the moment there are feedback threads agreed but I was suggesting feedback through the system with 1) telling whether individual is buyer or seller 2) link to the sale thread 3) feedback comments. This is what xda used to follow. The market place is an integral part of the forum and we don't want it to close like the xda mp did because of scams. Sent while mobile.

Study Well Shreesh I have not been active on RimWeb for some time now and wont be much available for next 1 month due to personal reasons. There may be a delay in replying PMs, But they wont be ignored.

Gonna concentrate on studies But I will be online during holidays

That's some great suggestions dear Arun. Making the selling system fool-proof will be the best we can do for the benefit of the community. And I will be more than happy to Moderate (more) buy / sell threads...as you know I already keep an eagle's eye on Buy / Sell topics.

Hello gurus !!! First of all , HAPPY NEW YR TO ALL RIMWEBians !!!! I've been thinking of getting the latest superphone Sprint branded LG optimus G from US. I wanted to know if anyone of our estimated gurus have already got their hands on it and flashed it with RCDMA service ? If yes, is it a simple straightforward process or are there any complications ? As it has a qualcomm chipset, I'm pretty positive that flashing radio shouldn't be an issues, but just wanted to confirm before buying ! Cheers Dev

Best wishes Shreesh... A bright mind like you would surely do well

My experience with RCDMA over the last 6 to 8 months is that when my usage exceeds 500 MB in a billing cycle, the EVDO speeds automatically comes to a crawling 0.1Mbps. On complaining, the nincompoopish CC says that your EVDO is not active and they take a request and which takes 5 days to activate EVDO. After a week, there is a call from Mumbai saying your EVDO is now active, please switch off and switch on your handset after 10 minutes and you will get good speeds. This will work for the next 2 to 3 days during which, amazed by the good EVDO speeds (actually better than 0.1Mbps), you will have used another 300 to 500 MBs and once again the same rigmarole will start all over again - your EVDO is not active, complaint registered and after a week or so, EVDO gets activated, you use up a bit and again the same scenario starts again. Sickening to say the least. It is a deliberate ploy by RCOM to limit EVDO usage for people on the unltd plan. Hence I downgraded my plan to 1GB this month, saving Rs 506 per month. To hell with RCOM if they do not want the extra income. The CC says that the unltd plan is now available if I want to take it. I am sick of their attitude, so I have not taken the bait. On a serious note, I am seriously thinking of switching to AirHell. Atleast their 3G speeds are good in Chennai. Fothe same amount that I spent with RCOM, I can live peacefully with AirHell 3G with almost the same voice, roaming and SMS tariffs as RCOM and a far superior and responsive CC. maybe I should have MNP'd earlier itself. Still no regrets. Better late than never. Just my $0.02.

^^^ Good. Studies are important for your career......Have a bright future my friend.

I'm coming. Will reach around 4.30 - 5 pm

Instead of searching for a new music system all over again, can't you think of using a digital photo frame with AV Input OR portable dvd player with AV input to be used as a folder display unit for Philips MCD 388 which you like otherwise in all respects.

Good practical observations from Arun as always. As you rightly said, it was a "rarest of the rare" case and i do feel that any/all of the proposed changes under consideration should surely work for 99% of the transactions. Even Ebay with all its systems/control in place and being a commercial organisation has certain number of fraud cases. We being a non commercial community can't ever have something which can totally avoid cases like AP. We started the discussion just to improve/modify things in light of past experience gained. Our past experience suggests that even with the current guidelines, majority of the transactions have been trouble free. So the changes can make it only better. This can be done but i doubt whether it will work in practice. Majority of the people may finish the transaction through pm & such thing. As we had seen in AP's case, even some of the older members rushed & bought. The motivation was purely because the items looked cheaper, nobody considered the safety aspect. Human nature is like that, saving a few bucks. We may consider Ebay listing as optional upon the buyer's choice. Those who like the safety can request the item to be listed on Ebay. Those who are OK can go ahead with the transaction as it is. As we have observed, majority of the past transactions here have been trouble free. Completely agree. Escrow service is a non starter. Don't think there is any express legal provision OR privacy law in india which makes it illegal for us to demand ID/address proof. User's IP addresses are alreadymonitored/recorded to identify the persons for any troublesome posts OR for complying with any request/direction from the authorities. All Users consents to this when they agree to our "Terms of Service". The "Terms of Service" may be suitably modified to mention that the user consents to provide ID/address proof for availing additional member facilities like Buy-Sell. Good idea worth trying.

Here is nice one.... For the 1st time something on a MAN, Do read it Who is a MAN? A man is the most beautiful part of God's creation who starts compromising at a very tender age. He sacrifices his chocolates 4 his sister. He sacrifices his dreams 4 just a smile on his parents face. He spends his entire pocket money on buyng gifts 4 the girl he loves just 2 see her smiling He sacrifices his full youth 4 his wife & children by working late @ night without any complain. He builds their future by takng loans from banks & repayng them 4 lifetime. He struggles a lot & still has 2 bear scolding from his mother, wife & boss. His mother, wife & boss all try 2 control him. His life finally ends up only by compromising 4 others happiness. Respect every male in your life. U will never know what he has sacrificed 4U. Worth sending 2 every man 2 make him smile & every woman 2 make her realize his worth!! BECHARA MARD...!?

Ashok Karkera has already updated time as 4.30 pm in the FIRST Post. After that update he has not posted anything probably because he already mentioned he was travelling at a place without net access. If someone else misunderstood it at 6.00 pm, why you all guys are getting unnecessarily confused? You have to go by the event organiser's FINAL post. In any case, even if the time would be 6.00 pm... You all can reach at 4.30 & discuss, enjoy beauty/ies in/of Jogger's Park!!! 1.30 Hour will pass in no time...
