My mausi has an old htc droid eris. Due to some apps issue my cousin (her daughter) thought its like any other android and she did a factory reset. After that the phone was on Verizon again and reliance programming lost. She panicked and told me. Now normally its a 5 minute job to put back nam, prl and min to get these phones alive again. But she didnt have the MIN cos she didnt know or realize the significance. Without the MIN even I was at a fix how to revive it again. Tried CC & WW but what could they do. I started pestering two of my/our favorite rim gurus. Which I wouldnt name here as I have high respect for their time & knowledge (of course their numerous self less help) but they were at a loss too. As in they wouldnt reply after hearing my plight with anything concrete. They asked me "kya hua" and then said "Min cant be retrieved" This was the scariest point. As I knew i could first apply for a sim for this number. Then get the handset unblocked. Later get the sim transfered to handset again. now getting one job @ WW is killing enough. Going through 3 jobs which would take endless visits and loads of frustration. Then came the savior Malik ji, he is rimweb member(id: adventuressmalik) but doesnt frequent here. I often chat with him and told him my plight. He said its not a big deal at all. A simple Re-OTAP request is required. It might be a common knowledge but I had never heard this before. He said he will place it for me in a jiffy and by evening or next morning to do *228. At first few times it was same old "your phone could not be activated......." but by next day evening which is like now when I am writing this. It went through and " your phone is successfully activated...." Wow, I am so relieved as my poor old aunt was stuck. She was so happy to get her number working. I told her the whole credit is of Mr. Malik.

Reporting your handset as damaged will be a an issue for you, you can ask them to do re-otaf on same rsn other work around is to put a handset exchange request and take the number on another handset or sim. then again do same handset exchange and revert back to original handset, in this process you dont need to read MIN or you can read min from your old sim card and put the sim in current phone, so no re-otaf or handset exchange request required

(I guess long before anyone had a clue including people at XDA)

its loud enough for normal user, but main issue is R-GSM, It was bad , it is bad, and it will remain bad (if R pepole dont take care)

^^^ I was really hoping for KajuKatali

Still KumbhaKarnan BSNL is sleeping... I wonder whether BSNL is sleeping or acting like sleeping?

Looking at the posts in this thread, the Gargoyle suggests a quick port-out of the R-GSM network. Economics is a good argument, but a mobile network should be able to meet its primary obligation - connect a voice call !!!

^^^ If you continue on 94 - 1 GB plan, your bill for 2 GB will be more than 448, AFAIK. Nevertheless, RCOM is really out of mind always with respect to their idiotic plans. So, nothing new here...

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.

Motorola India has announced two new models in RAZR series in the country today. Dubbed as RAZR Maxx and RAZR V, these will also be released in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand countries. According to the company, Motorola RAZR Maxx will be available in select cities starting tomorrow, however RAZR V availability details will be announced on a later date. Motorola has priced RAZR Maxx at INR 31,590. There is no word on the pricing of RAZR V.

^^ More likely, they were scared looking at the 4S impressive booking numbers , and didn't want to give opportunity for comparison.

Please suggest me Best Among reliance usb modem and reliance 350r.what is the maximum download speed of relaince usb modem?

Hi, I recently installed new version of Ubuntu (Breezy 5.10) and had to install RConnect once again. Initially I tried wvdial after configuring it as per the post on this thread. It did not work. Then I installed the RConnect script, changed the link to /dev/ttyACM0 and tried to connect. It worked. Then I tried wvdial once again and it worked. It seems that it is necessary to install the RConnect script before trying wvdial on Ubuntu. Perhaps it configures pppd. This is just a feedback for the people who are trying wvdial. kagashe
