Verizon Galaxy Note II - GSM Unlock - Add APN Data - Remove Non-Verizon SIM Message Source Topic This is great info. We have one of the best phone now working with GSM Data. CDMA Voice with SIM Card should work without any change & CDMA Data through SIM can also be tried through this APN method. I think we may have another best seller on our hand after Incredible 2 which works on CDMA & GSM SIM Card with Data! How to add APN data: In order to get data working you have to add carrier specific data to the apns-conf.xml file. While you may have been able to do this is in the past on other devices under settings, VZW has blocked this. Method 1: Flashable mod (via custom recovery) that will enable the Add APN menu by removing Verizon's block.(For deodexed roms only) >> http://www.mediafire.com/?wqmad2ypgsyd75z This enables the apn editor under settings. Go to Settings, More Settings, Mobile Networks, Access Point Names, menu button. Method 2: Ensure your phone is rooted adb pull /system/etc/apns-conf.xml Add the carrier data to apns-conf.xml with your favorite text/xml editor and save adb push your modified apn-conf.xml file back to /sdcard/ Copy this file back to /system/etc/ and change permissions (I use root explorer) Power down and change your SIM card (AT&T, T-mobile, whatever) if you hadn't already done so Power back on and go to Settings -> More Settings -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names (if done properly you should see the APN data you entered for your respective carrier). Select one of the APN listings and then you should have working data Profit Removing the Non-Verizon SIM message When Using a Non Verizon SIM Card: This will occur on roms that include Samsung's Setup Wizard (including stock) - all others can ignore Method 1: - Freeze "Setup wizard 1.0" in Titanium Backup Method 2: Download THIS APK for a deodexed ROM only and replace the original in /system/app/, then reboot. Make sure that /system is mounted as read/write before copy/pasting, and also that you're on a deodexed ROM. After copying it over, reboot and you shouldn't have the ongoing notification anymore.

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

Past few months I have been looking for a compact music system for use in bedroom. Though I have a few very basic requirements, as there's a larger system in drawing room, i have been completely unable to find a perfect model and ended up with 3 different system none of which really fulfill the required function. So I urgently need some advise about this issue. My simple requirements are :- Minimum Number of wires (ie no 5.1 type of systems; preferably wireless subwoofer etc) No too big and unwieldy Should show USB Folder names on its display (most systems only show these when you have connected a TV - but i don;t like TV in bedroom at all) Should have easy folder / file browsing At least 40-50 Watt RMS I am giving the background/history below so you can understand the problems. First ordered Sony CMT EH25 Micro hifi system from flipkart (this is really cheap at just 5-6k) This was really nice & small and cheap and shows USB folder names and has dedicated folder change button etc. BUT it was only 10 Watt RMS so i went to showroom to try the next bigger model of Sony CMT DX400A (around 8-9K) However, in this model there's no folder name display (it will display on TV if you connect) so I didn't buy it. Instead i explored and then ordered this Philips MCD 388 which mentioned folder browsing etc. (~15K but i got for 12K) Now this is a beautiful system with wireless sub-woofer, small size, really loud 100 Watt RMS and Great Bass, No wires etc even in the main unit, motorized Slot loading DVD, front USB & SD Card, small cute remote etc But for the life of me I can NOT browse USB folders unless there's a TV connected. Philips says that's what they meant in ad. If you connect a TV the browsing is just like a PC with folders and up/down enter/back etc. Tried many work arounds like have 5-6 different USB pendrives with different type of music on them and only 1-2 folders but its not practical. AND i have long ago thrown away all my CD/DVDs/Tapes and have only flac/mp3 music now. So then I again explored and got a Sony MHC GZR5D This one has a huge 240 Watt RMS (2600 watt PMPO), 3 CD changer, CD/Tape/Radio to MP3 recording etc BUT the main unit is 18 inches deep (which is not evident from the front) speakers are only 6-7 inches deep but main unit juts out of my 12 inch deep shelf ready to topple. Also, though it has a dedicated Folders browse +/- button, the display only shows numbers not names for folders (unless you connect TV) I have seen a lot of ipod/iphone Dock type of systems also but they don't really serve the purpose though they are small. Though a Denon N7 would fulfil all criteria plus play files streamed over wifi from my PC, but I don't want to spend 35-40K on a secondary system for the bedroom. N7 is only 11.7 inches deep (speakers are 11") and displays folder/file names and has a folder +/- button on remote. So, any one has any idea for a suitable Micro HiFi / Bookshelf system with reasonable size and good USB browsing ?

2%? Which payment gateway offers that? A good payment gateway like CCavenue charges 7%+tax for Credit Cards and 4%+tax for Net Banking in addition to annual maintenance fee of Rs.1200. Even if the charges are fine, the payments would come to my bank account and then I have to transfer to the seller which means IT hassles for those transactions.

Loved the get together as I had indicated in my previous post. My only sore point (if I may call it so!) was the absence of two stalwarts of RIMWEB who are both from Mumbai and both of whom I was looking forward to meeting - Rajan Mehta and Saddik. I hope in the next meeting, both of them would be able to be present so that we can actually meet up with these two great guys who have been the life line of this amazing forum. Regards Rahul

Airline lost your luggage? Track it on a map with this cellular device CES startup pitches Trakdot for tracking your suitcase. Source Worried about the airline losing your luggage? Just plunk this device in your bag. Trakdot Dealing with an airline that's lost your luggage and doesn't even know what city it's in is always a frustrating experience. One startup at the Consumer Electronics Show says it has the answer: a $50 cellular device that sits in your luggage and pinpoints its location. The product is called Trakdot and was made by a company called GlobaTrac, which says it's in a pilot production run and will be sold to consumers in March. The device will cost $50 and require a $12 yearly charge to use the service, which lets you track the device on a website and get text message alerts about your luggage's location. If a bag doesn't reach its intended destination, "the airlines don't know where it is," GlobaTrac CTO Joseph Morgan told Ars at the CES Unveiled event Sunday night. "If it ain't where it's supposed to be, they've lost it, they don't know where it is. They will eventually find it, but that doesn't give you peace of mind." Morgan contends that using cellular signals is better than GPS, because with GPS "if you don't have a good view of the sky it can still get lost." To locate itself using cellular signals, the device has to communicate with cell towers, of course. So how does Morgan pull that off? He said he operates a small wireless carrier called Aspenta, and has roaming agreements with the major carriers allowing the Trakdot device to work worldwide. We couldn't find a website for Aspenta, but there is a Federal Communications Commission filing listing Morgan as the owner of Aspenta in Georgia. "We are a cell phone carrier. These devices only communicate with my carrier, and I have roaming agreements with the world," Morgan said. Morgan is a 40-year veteran of the communications industry with experience at NASA, IBM, Delta Airlines, and more, according to the GlobaTrac website. Besides simply locating your luggage on a map, Morgan has a couple other tricks up his sleeve. The device will also use BlueTooth to communicate with an app on your iPhone or Android. That way, you can watch its progress along the conveyor belt as you're waiting for your luggage. If it works, that's a neat trick given how similar most pieces of luggage looks these days, but certainly isn't as useful as locating luggage that's been lost altogether. Using double-A batteries, the device should keep a charge for about three weeks if it's running constantly, Morgan said. It should work in nearly any suitcase, but perhaps not ones made of metal. The device also temporarily shuts itself off during a plane's takeoff and landing, using an accelerometer to sense speed. "Right before the airplane takes off it goes into auto shutdown. It stays off for 20 minutes and then it comes back on in receive mode only," Morgan said. While Morgan said "There are no guidelines about devices that ride in the belly of the aircraft today," he's worried that won't always be the case. "We didn't want to spend millions of dollars creating something that could get outlawed."

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.

Congratulations to all the winners and Anniversary wishes to Rimweb Community.

Happy B'day RimWeb and Merry X-mas to all the members.. how can we miss the b'day cake, that too when its by our dear Santa.

happy birthday rimweb !! merry Christmas !!

Many technologies that became popular among the masses in the past were later embraced by corporates. A few examples--public Instant Messengers, social networking sites, CDs and DVDs, flash drives, web apps, and the list goes on. Now, another technology has reached that tipping point, and we're bound to see it take the corporate world by storm in the coming year-tablets. These devices had actually failed to really take off in their earlier avatar as tablet PCs. But now, they're bound to make a grand comeback in the corporate world, and here's why we believe so. Users are comfortable using multi-touch, the main interface for tablets Touch screen based tablet PCs have been around for ages, but they simply didn't succeed in the market. The key reason for this is that their primary interface remained the touchpad (or trackpad) and keyboard, with touchscreen functionality being just another interface. There weren't enough killer applications available to leverage the touch screen capability, so users stuck to using the mouse and keyboard. They didn't have enough reason to switch. But Apple's iPad introduced multi-touch as the primary interface, so users had no option but to use it. It had already set the base for users by introducing multi-touch in its iPhone and iPod products, so a huge base of users were already comfortable using the technology. That's why it wasn't surprising that the iPad sold millions of units within months of being launched, because users were already comfortable using a multi-touch interface. Now that more vendors are introducing tablets with multi-touch interface, they're bound to succeed. More multi-touch ready apps Multi-touch capability alone will not make tablets popular. We've had multi-touch support in various operating systems for ages. What's also needed are killer applications that will leverage the capability. That was missing for quite some time. So the good news is that vendors have now become aware and are building platforms and SDKs that will leverage the capability of multi-touch from ground-up. iPad's iOS for instance, was built to use multi-touch, and today has around 200,000+ applications available for it, which can be downloaded for from Apple's online store. Google's Android OS for instance, has native support for multi-touch, making it easy for developers to build apps around it. NEC recently announced its own Android based tablet, squarely aimed at the corporate users. It's meant to be used by retail stores and warehouses as an e-shop terminal or a logistics terminal for stock taking, etc. More Apps, thanks to the cloud Lots of people have called this as the year of the cloud, and not without good reason. Every major vendor has their finger in the cloud pie, and is providing their bouquet of applications over the cloud. Most enterprise apps are becoming web-aware, meaning they can be easily accessible through a web-browser. There are lots of private players who're developing cloud based applications. Companies like Google, Microsoft, Amazon, etc are providing cloud computing development platforms and have attracted developers in masses to build apps on their platforms. While most devices will benefit from apps moving to the cloud, the biggest benefit will go to mobile devices, because people want to be able to access their applications on the move. In the process, the effect will rub off on tablets as well. An interesting use for tablets can be for application and desktop streaming. So organizations that virtualize their desktops could stream it to tablet users, thereby giving those users the flexibility to access from anywhere. More bandwidth, thanks to 3G Yes, we should hopefully see 3G finally become a reality next year, with most major telecom vendors having made their announcements this year. 3G will give a much needed shot in the arm to most mobile devices, which till now, were starving for bandwidth. It will allow more applications to be used when on the move. Many tablets that are entering the market are 3G ready, so they will certainly benefit from this technology. So as more applications move to the cloud, it will be a boon for tablets because they'll be able to access those apps over 3G. The other connectivity interfaces like WiFi and networking are already present in tablets, but 3G will allow working from anywhere. Initially, 3G might be very expensive for the average consumer, so it could be embraced by corporates first. More compact and portable, thanks to the slate design Have you ever tried using your laptop when you're traveling economy class on a flight? It's a fight because there's not enough space to open the keyboard and work. And if the person sitting in the seat in front of you reclines his/her seat, then you've had it! Tablets, thanks to their slate design can be used anywhere because the person would hold the device with one hand, and use it with the other. Moreover, most tablets that have been launched in the market have their Operating Systems optimized for the underlying hardware. This allows them to be used for running multimedia applications (audio, video, etc). Plus, it allows for longer battery backups (the iPad for instance can last up to 10 hours). So you can use it for a prolonged period of time when on the move. Business users would therefore find tablets more very convenient to use while on the move (especially on a flight!). So as we have it, the tablets have already been popularized by the iPad globally, so it's only a matter of time before it takes off in India as well. So hopefully next year, it will become a powerful addition to an organization's fleet of laptops and smartphones in the coming year. Source PC Quest
