I'm on Note 3 by Sprint, the screen had dual hoziontal window s view cover before I got it I guess. Because when I use the phone if the background is full white I can clearly see 2 horizontal discoloration. That instant I knew it's due that cover. It's because if UV exposure with that cover. Only the open section of the screen was exposed to outside UV. Wi-Fi s**ks big time. Not as instant as earlier galaxy S series. I have also compared Quadrant and Antutu scores with LG G2 & Note 3, though the numeric scores have a big difference, when one tries to run same programmes on both there is a mili second lead in the Note. If you are person who is always on the move then this phone is not recommended, if you have a car to move around at ALL TIMES & have all the time in the world then maybe you can go for this. I would recommend the G2 the best compared to any phone on RIMWEB. Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk

T9 means if you type first 2-3 characters of a name from within the dialer, it will show a list of all matching names. No need to go to contacts and then search using the keyboard. For eg: if you want to call a contact named "Rahul", you just open the dialer and hit 7-2-4 and you will see list of all matching names like Rahul, Raheem, Raghav etc etc. Android apps are available and I am using the same on my Razr M.

@ Ankur , Bus parked by JM. I hope second half will better .

So finally, after a month of follow up, it was discovered that an entire block of IMEI numbers was missing from the GSMA global database. Now, that has been added. Indian carriers have synced their database and four out of the five phones which I am aware of, are working. Ironically, only my phone is not working still. But I am on it.

Hope this purchase qualifies for this post.. Hyundai - Xcent - VTVT SX(O) - Petrol - MT - Passion Red 7.28L OTR. 12th April 2014. First piece to touch ugly roads of my city Baroda. Had booked Verna in Dec 2013. Deal got cancelled, as my required colour was not available & Hyundai had discontinued the same. Purple. However, there was a confusion between i20 & Verna. Since me & my wife uses car equally, so a long car would have been difficult for her. Hence, I was about to compromise for i20. However, I do plan to switch to CNG once warranty period is over & having such modification in i20 would have been difficult due to limited boot space. Hyundai, came to know about my problem & immediately launched Xcent. This model was launched in Auto Expo 2014 in Feb. Hyundai officially started taking bookings after 12th March 2014. Was available on display in Baroda on 22nd March 2014. Booked on 4th April & got delivery on 12th April 2014. Dealer Shivalik Hyundai - A'bad was great help in this deal. By luck, or coincidence, they gave me my required color in shortest possible time. Sales team manager was amazing man. While booking verna 4 months back, he was simply helping me to make a right choice & not just sell his inventory. Normally dealers, give you good discounts / offers on existing inventory, but if they have to book an order with Hyundai, similar offers are not applicable many times, as new lot comes with new price etc. (minor variation). He made my purchase experience highly memorable, by managing ultra fast delivery. He has handled a customer, exactly the way a customer like to be treated. Like a King. He was flexible in everything I asked like payment terms, payment method, color, delivery date etc etc. Not a single time he said no for anything. Except more discount !!. He smiled & replied, if you come after 1 year, we can discuss discount etc for this model, but not now, while taking first bookings. Brief Review - Simply Brilliant. Expect anything & it is there. May be less in bhp front, but my main requirement was city driving & I am not a great automobile enthusiastic, so many of the terms like rpm, bhp, pick up things rarely matters to me. Earlier I was having Alto, & I never had any complaints of that. Before buying this, I had checked dezire, etios, amaze, duster, verna, superb, i20. However, in this segment (4m-sedan), this is the best package in terms of value for money. Hyundai has managed to provide quality of interior like a proper high budget Sedan. And price levels are very attractive for this model. We can't compare absolutely, since many features are simply not available in other similar budget models from other companies, like folding ORVM, reverse parking camera, boot space, rear AC vent, large number of water bottle storage etc. Smart Key feature is amazing. Now, many reviews / information is available on line so it will not serve purpose, if I write too much here. Go Google.

Android 4.4 comes out of factory on this phone now. Update on the issue: An entire IMEI range was missed out from GSM Association's global database. I submitted five such IMEI's belonging to devices in India. Now, the global database is updated. Indian carriers sync with this database periodically. But they can be requested to sync ad hoc as well. Does anyone have any contacts with Airtel/ Vodafone/ Idea Cellular?

Here I am posting my full experience from start to end... I had filled DS-160 for all 3 of us online by myself with all the relevant data. I had also mentioned name of my Indian friend, who is now an US citizen & also mentioned that I would stay with him n then go for holiday. He had sent me an invite too n mentioned that expenses would be borne by myself. OFC appointment was on 30/Jan/2014 at 10.30 am I reached there around 10.15 n they checked my DS-160 confirmation with my passport. There was a minor mistake in my son's form so they asked me to do the correction n come back. There was one cyber cafe named HI-TECH just adjacent to the building n they had all the infrastructure to do these VISA stuff as well as locker to keep our stuff. I had to pay 200 Rs. for correction n printout. For locker usage, they charge 100 Rs. It was very basic service. They will accept the stuff in bag n seal it n keep all the bags in 1 single cub board. They wont give us keys as keys are not allowed. I went in Q again & was taken inside in 15 mins. Though I had my cousin to take care of my kid so he didnt come inside with me, but other people were bringing the kids inside. It was clearly mentioned in confirmation mail to not to bring kids below 14 yrs but still many were bringing. OFC process for myself n wife was done in hardly 15 mins from entry to exist. They took our photos n finger prints. Thats it. For kids, they pasted the photo that we took with us on wall n clicked its photo. Actual interview was on 31/Jan/2014 at 7.30 am. I reached there by 7 am n there were already lot of people around I think 200. They started the Q at 7.05 n took inside by 7.20 itself. I took with my our passports n confirmation page along with a box file with all original docs viz my 3 yrs ITR, 1 yrs bank statement, real estate ownership docs, qualification certificates for both of us, birth certificate of my son, my client's list with phone nos., marriage certificate, our sebi registeration cerfiticates, any some other profession related docs. Even here, people were taking there kids inside. I had not brought my son with me. Inside there was a waiting area in open but with shade for around 200-300 people. Our number came at around 8.05 They again took our finger prints. We proceeded at window no 37 when instructed to do so. Below was conversation between us & consulate ( not in specific order. i m typing as i am remembering) 1. You have never travelled out of India & why do you want to go to US a. My wife replied: after marraige she was pregnant & then child was small. Now that he is 6 yrs, we are willing to go out of India. 2. Why US only a. We wish to start with US. US being very good country with lot of tourist attractions. 3. So would you go to other countries like Singapore a. I replied, yes definetely. We have already made our list & US is 1st. 4. You are going with some tour operator or by self. a. I replied by self 5. What all places you plan to visit a. I replied places that we had planned in east cost. 6. Looking at my wife, she asked, so, you are a stock broker. Why did u select this as your profession a. She gave relevant answer Then the consulate was just looking at screen n typing something n she told : YOUR VISA HAS BEEN APPROVED... HAVE A NICE TRIP In all this, she didnt demand a singe doc. In all, I feel, its just our confidence & presentation along with the data that we fill in DS-160 that matters. We were not at all nervous n replying confidently.. This conversation took place for harldy 2 mins n we were out by 8.10. Now just waiting for my passport. It should be there in couple of days. I hope it is for 10 yrs n not 6 months. From what I read, they issue it for 10 yrs only but then some people told me that it may be of 6 months. Once in hand, will book tickets. Before I book, wanted to ask if someone has experience of Kuwait Airways. It has cheapest tickets @ 1.32 lacs for all 3 of us Should I go to Kuwait considering there are lot n lot of negative reviews? All the other airlines are starting from 1.80 lacs but not refundable. Refundable are from British or Americal airways n costing around 2.2 lacs. Hope most of the things are clear n this thread helps other people to get some hands on before applying for visa.
