It needs to be done on ICS No need to connect it to cdma workshop it can be done from phone dialpad only And it requires ICS because we can't do tweak on JB on this phone

yesterday, I upgraded Ios7 Beta2 on my iPhone 4s, ipad2, and iPad mini Very good OS. But battery backup is not good.

While configuring 1x and EvDO on Verizon Samsung Stellar i200, it is observed that due to more security on this phone, the phone goes offline while selecting CDMA bands. If the phone does not restore to factory NAM, then a downgrade to stock ROM is essential. If the phone goes offline on 4.2.2 or 4.1.2 (VRBMA1) it should be downgraded to stock 4.0.4 (VRALG4) via ODIN. As soon as phone boots on 4.0.4 ROM, dial *#22745927 and press ##72786# to clear NAM settings. Phone will be on Reliance network once it boots. Below are the factory images in case anyone needs them.

So I finally decided to try out BSNL WiMAX (Mobile WiMAX 802.16e) as it launched recently in Trivandrum. I couldn't find anyone who used it for their experience or reviews, so I decided to try it out myself. Being a new technology that meets the requirements of 4G, its surprising that we are able to use Mobile WiMAX here when even 3G is expected to start after several months only. The EVDO service from BSNL hasn't lived up to the expectations as there were too many network issues and even BSNL officials won't recommend EVDO now and would suggest opting for 3G or WiMAX instead. So they are fully focused on building a good WiMAX network nationwide while the other operators are still bidding for a BWA license. BSNL offers Mobile WiMAX through 3 types of equipments... an outdoor CPE (Customer Premises Equipment), an indoor CPE and a USB dongle. They will give you the connection after checking the feasibility in your area only. So if the signal is very weak in your place then you will have to opt for the outdoor CPE which consists of an antenna to be fixed on top of your building and connected to a receiver near your PC using cable. However there is no portability with an outdoor CPE setup and makes it similar to Fixed WiMAX setup. The more portable option is the indoor CPE which looks like a normal DSL router with 2 large antennas. This equipment is recommended if you have average signal in your area. Even though the device needs to be connected to your PC via LAN, you can place the device anywhere (with a power plug nearby) and you can even use it in other places (under different towers) where there is BSNL WiMAX coverage. The most convenient device is the USB dongle as it doesn't need power and easy to carry around with a laptop. However there are reported technical issues with the USB dongle device at the moment and hence BSNL is not recommending it for now. Once the issue is sorted out you can swap your indoor/outdoor CPE with a USB dongle if you opt for FMC (see below). The device cost is as follows: Outdoor CPE: Rs.5000 Indoor CPE: Rs.4200 USB Dongle: Rs.2800 I would not recommend purchasing the device outright as you have an option to pay monthly (FMC - Fixed Monthly Charge) instead, which needs a refundable deposit of Rs.2000. You can pay Rs.50 (Indoor/Outdoor CPE) or Rs.40 (USB Dongle) per month instead which allows you the freedom to swap the device later if needed. It also gives you warranty for the device as long as you have the service active. BSNL WiMAX has different plans for different states and in Kerala the only plan available for home users is "512 to 2 mbps download speed with unlimited data usage for Rs.999 + tax" So I heard about the newly launched service and I got the contact number of an official who handles BSNL WiMAX in Trivandrum and he told me that I can just send an SMS to book the connection. He also gave me the contact number of a marketing executive and so I called him to book the connection. He told me about the issue with USB dongle at that time and promised someone would come the same day to check feasibility in my area. However they couldn't make it that day and came the next day with the indoor CPE equipment. The device is an "ICOMM 610 Indoor CPE" They switched on the device and got connected immediately as the device was pre-configured with BSNL test service login. Fortunately for me the signal in my area was extremely good as the Base Station tower was just under half a kilometer away. They say that a base station tower can handle around 5 kilometer radius with an indoor CPE. The minimum CINR value required is 10 dB and I was getting above 20 dB with full range shown in the device indicator lights. They asked me to browse and check myself, I tried some downloads and noticed an average speed of 2 mbps. As the download speed was good I decided to go ahead and filled up the application form. Since the test equipment that they brought along was a new one, they gave me the same device after removing the BSNL test login from the configuration page. I was told that they would create a new login (needs to be done in their office in Bangalore) for me which I have to configure in the device settings page. Since it was the weekend they couldn't get me the login the same day and I had to wait until Monday to get the login details, and I finally got connected to BSNL WiMAX on Monday. It seems they are leasing a common IP adddress for WiMAX users since I notice the same IP address whenever I connect. Static IP address option is available at an extra cost (for Business plans). I notice that the "common IP address" that they provice is listed on an RBL which is a concern, though I think its the BSNL IP range that is blocked. I did some downloads and noticed that the download speed is always stable and I do get up to 2 mbps download speed as promised: I noticed an issue with the default DNS servers as resolution of domain names either takes long time or doesn't resolve at all. So I changed to external DNS addresses in the LAN configuration and it has been fine after that. Even though the download speed was very good, the upload speed was very bad at I was getting an average upload speed of around 65 - 75 kbps only. So it will be a problem if you have file uploads to do and will decrease your torrent ratio if you have torrent usage. I also noticed that the download speed gets affected when there is an upload in progress. I have checked VPN connectivity and it is working fine. Applications like Remote Desktop are also working fine. My verdict: After using the service for a couple of days it does look very stable and the download speed hasn't dropped as I get 2 mpbs constantly. A 2 mbps download speed plan with unlimited data usage for Rs.999 per month and mobility too is definitely a very good plan and I don't think any other broadband plan in India can beat that for now. Being a new service it is good to see BSNL doing well in the initial stages itself and I hope the service will get even better.

I want to buy cdma handsets with keypad for calling purpose only( no touch mobiles). earlier LG was supplying very good sets but now stopped. all samsung handset had been used by me and they are so old. no new handset launched nowadays. are there any better option left for keypad lovers? is there any good set like nokia 6275 etc?

Enter *#22745927 on the dial pad > Click on the Hidden Menu Option to Enable the hidden menu and then type ##3282#

@skssha .. putting LK5 modem and enabling 1x/hdr as per kshah will definitely work .. but the process needs to be redone every reboot .. @parin thanks for starting a separate thread ... I think we can have data working on MD4 by: 1. Taking backup of working NV from LG1 to MD1 2. Update or flash MD4 3. Restore backup of NV on MD4 MD4 rather did not impress me much .. so i dont think it is worth experimenting .. so i am gonna be happy now with what i have :-) ... I have freezed the stock update software now :-) :-)

Do you want to upgrade your apple device to to ios7 beta and enjoy the features before a regular os is released. Follow these steps. It is for GSM models only. 1. your phone should be factory unlocked (Ipods and Ipads come unlocked) 2. Your device should not be jailbreak. (to come out of jailbreak, best method is restore it in iTunes) Backup using Itunes all your apps, contracts, sms etc. Try to configure icould account before restoring, which will save all your contacts, notes, music, photo etc in icould. 3. download the ios7 firmware from the following link (chose the firmware associated with your device model carefully) torPut rent and direct download both available. http://imzdl.com/ios.php 4. Put your phone in DFU mode after connecting to iTunes with usb cable. (google how to do it in DFU Mode) Dfu mode your divice appear in blank screen and restore mode it there will be connecting simble with itunes. Donot mistake with restore mode and dfu mode. But itunes says it is restore mode only for both. 5. Chose Shift (Keyboard) and Upgrade in iTunes. (mac users use option instead of shift) 6. you phone will be iOS after restating. 7. Chose new phone. (donot back up). Once it is in full use sync with your itunes and get it backed up if necessary. 8. Donot use find my phone while setup (after full usage you can enable) 9. Donot opt for pass code lock while setup. (after full usage you can enable) 10. you can upgrde future beta version from within phone (Over the air) Any problems occurred and if your phone bricked. Donot worry. Simple restore with itunes without using ios7. 2nd step. iOS 7 4s= power hungry less battery, applications unexpectedly crashing. Phone rebooting itself. iPad mini and ipod touch 5 = very stable and battery life also very good. Ipad2 = batter life is good but apps unexpectedly crashing.

I have Just Updated a New Topic to Discuss on this Particular Data issue here http://www.rimweb.in/forums/topic/36015-how-to-get-data-wroking-after-latest-update-on-s3-us-cellular/#entry293206

@Harish, you can try JB with ICS bootloader. other wise as shreesh said full ICS is required.

Screen filter is also a great app if you want to extend battery life. - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.haxor&hl=en Sent From My Z
