  1. Discounted/Free apps on Market/Play Store

    I used Netsafe Virtual Credit Card from HDFC Bank Credit Card. It can be used on any online website for payments just like your normal credit card. You can generate a virtual credit card only for the amount you need. So no question of mis use / overcharging. Biggest benefit is your actual credit card details like card number, validity, CVV are never exposed online, so you are protected completely. Netsafe FAQ >> http://www.hdfcbank....afe/netsafe.htm Check if your credit card issuer is offering similar service.
  2. Discounted/Free apps on Market/Play Store

    Some users from India are reporting that in addition to .10 cents, they were charged $ 1 on their credit card. This may be for first time credit card verification and might be returned later on. Still i used a virtual credit card with limit of Rs 5.50 and the transaction went through successfully. Would suggest everyone to use virtual credit card only. Why store your credit card data with google or anyone else if you can avoid it? One can always generate a new virtual credit card as and when needed.

    Got Swiftkey X Keyboard for Rs 5.12 It's an amazing keyboard.
  4. They are no contract phones but won't work out of the box on Indian CDMA networks. MEID registration, service / voice / data programming etc., will be needed and without that they are glorified paper weights. That's the risk.
  5. India To Ban Offensive Content?

    Absolutely nothing is going to happen because whatever balls the government was having is used by Mr Sharad Pawar in playing cricket. We are a country that talks a lot and does little or nothing. In this particular instance, thank god for that.

  8. Current India Today issue has a cover story, "The Return of Brotherhood" on the Ambani Brothers. Citing credible internal sources, it suggests that a tie up between MDA's Reliance and ADA's RCOMM is almost a given. It further suggests that RCOMM will spin off all cellular towers into a separate entity where blackstone may invest and then MDA's Reliance Infotel will lease space on it for 4G. With funds generated, ADA will knock off some of RCOMM debt. Interesting Read.
  9. HTC EVO 4G Mobile Network Not Working After Update

    Can't you ask the person from whom you bought the handset for help? Or for that matter the person who did your MEID registration? Did you buy it from any of the seller here at RIMweb?

    Samsung Galaxy Nexus Teardown >> http://www.ifixit.co...Teardown/7182/1 Not only does the 3.7 V, 1750 mAh battery power the phone, but the user manual states that it also doubles as the NFC antenna. Lo and behold, there's a sweet antenna hiding underneath the battery's shiny wrapper. So if you ever want to buy a replacement battery (and keep NFC functional), ensure that the battery has the antenna.

  16. Your Mobile May Need Charging Just Once a Month US scientists have reduced the power consumption of a key component in lithium-ion batteries used in mobile phones which could boost the overall battery life of our gadgets CHAMPAIGN, Ill. 10-3-2011 - Technophiles who have been dreaming of mobile devices that run longer on lighter, slimmer batteries may soon find their wish has been granted. University of Illinois engineers have developed a form of ultra-low-power digital memory that is faster and uses 100 times less energy than similar available memory. The technology could give future portable devices much longer battery life between charges. Led by electrical and computer engineering professor Eric Pop, the team will publish its results in an upcoming issue of Science magazine and online in the March 10 Science Express. "I think anyone who is dealing with a lot of chargers and plugging things in every night can relate to wanting a cell phone or laptop whose batteries can last for weeks or months," said Pop, who is also affiliated with the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology at Illinois. The flash memory used in mobile devices today stores bits as charge, which requires high programming voltages and is relatively slow. Industry has been exploring faster, but higher power phase-change materials (PCM) as an alternative. In PCM memory a bit is stored in the resistance of the material, which is switchable. Pop's group lowered the power per bit to 100 times less than existing PCM memory by focusing on one simple, yet key factor: size. Rather than the metal wires standard in industry, the group used carbon nanotubes, tiny tubes only a few nanometers in diameter – 10,000 times smaller than a human hair. "The energy consumption is essentially scaled with the volume of the memory bit," said graduate student Feng Xiong, the first author of the paper. "By using nanoscale contacts, we are able to achieve much smaller power consumption." To create a bit, the researchers place a small amount of PCM in a nanoscale gap formed in the middle of a carbon nanotube. They can switch the bit "on" and "off" by passing small currents through the nanotube. "Carbon nanotubes are the smallest known electronic conductors," Pop said. "They are better than any metal at delivering a little jolt of electricity to zap the PCM bit." Three parallel memory bits with carbon nanotube electrodes (false color image based on topographic profile from atomic force microscopy). The middle bit is in the "off" state, the other two are "on". The silicon dioxide substrate is shown in blue. | Image courtesy Eric Pop Nanotubes also boast an extraordinary stability, as they are not susceptible to the degradation that can plague metal wires. In addition, the PCM that functions as the actual bit is immune to accidental erasure from a passing scanner or magnet. The low-power PCM bits could be used in existing devices with a significant increase in battery life. Right now, a smart phone uses about a watt of energy and a laptop runs on more than 25 watts. Some of that energy goes to the display, but an increasing percentage is dedicated to memory. A schematic of four bits in various on/off states. The bit is made up of phase-change material (PCM) with a size of about 10 nanometers with carbon nanotube electrodes. The programming current is 100 times lower than the present state-of-the-art memory. | Image by Alex Jerez, Beckman Institute ITG "Anytime you're running an app, or storing MP3s, or streaming videos, it's draining the battery," said Albert Liao, a graduate student and co-author. "The memory and the processor are working hard retrieving data. As people use their phones to place calls less and use them for computing more, improving the data storage and retrieval operations is important." Pop believes that, along with improvements in display technology, the nanotube PCM memory could increase an iPhone's energy efficiency so it could run for a longer time on a smaller battery, or even to the point where it could run simply by harvesting its own thermal, mechanical or solar energy – no battery required. And device junkies will not be the only beneficiaries. "We're not just talking about lightening our pockets or purses," Pop said. "This is also important for anything that has to operate on a battery, such as satellites, telecommunications equipment in remote locations, or any number of scientific and military applications." In addition, ultra-low-power memory could cut the energy consumption – and thus the expense – of data storage or supercomputing centers by a large percentage. The low-power memory could also enable three-dimensional integration, a stacking of chips that has eluded researchers because of fabrication and heat problems. The team has made and tested a few hundred bits so far, and they want to scale up production to create arrays of memory bits that operate together. They also hope to achieve greater data density through clever programming such that each physical PCM bit can program two data bits, called multibit memory. The team is continuing to work to reduce power consumption and increase energy efficiency even beyond the groundbreaking savings they've already demonstrated. "Even though we've taken one technology and shown that it can be improved by a factor of 100, we have not yet reached what is physically possible. We have not even tested the limits yet. I think we could lower power by at least another factor of 10," Pop said. Source
  17. This Looks Like A Real Groundbreaking Original Idea If Done Correctly, Will Change How We Use Mobile Forever And We All Will Become Mobile Torrents.... Peep Wireless Technology (PWT), a Delaware-based company, has revealed a software app that turns a phone into a small cell tower (client/server viral transmitter/receiver). The application will be revealed at the Consumer Electronics Show or CES in Las Vegas later this week. It is called PeepApp and will initially be available only for the iPhone. Later it will be made for other mobile operating systems as well. Phones with the app, which operate as cellphone towers, or "seed phones" as the company calls them, in turn identifies and connects every device with Bluetooth, WiFi or other spectrum points which has PeepApp (i.e.: game boxes, pads, cafes, Bluetooth cars, PC's and internet TV's etc.) and cause the Peep Mesh to grow and grow around the world in a peer-to-peer manner. Peep Wireless claims that this new network will mean that the consumer would never need to pay a phone bill again and all his email, internet and media access would be free forever. For network operators PeepApp saves billions of dollars and years of build-out time, and doubles their capacity almost overnight. It creates instant, low-cost connectivity for even those places that femtocells and picocells cannot fill. PeepApp is software based but the company will release a keyfob (key chain) item that is said to quadruple the range, scope and power of the PeepApp. With the Peep technology, mobile devices connect instantly to one another over WiFi, Bluetooth, GSM, CDMA or walkie talkie channels that PeepApp constantly scans. No cell tower, base station or internet server is needed. Phone calls, media sharing, texts, movies, media and data sharing can be free between all mobile devices. All mobile units act as nodes. They transport data traffic between all the other such devices in clusters. Any phone call moves from one device to the next in segments, sometimes in different duplicate segments with the fastest segment of the duplicates being used until the call reaches its destination. This viral mesh network growth can instantly span a vast area with no external infrastructure required. This unique, proprietary technology offers the ability to interact with any phone anywhere in the world free of cost. Phones with PeeApp can move across any carrier system, via a legal "backdoor" technology that Peep has engineered. Peep devices make voice and data calls by scanning and using the entire free spectrum adjacent to paid spectrum used by service providers and the company claims that it only takes a handful of people using PeepApps to provide network coverage across an entire large city. The release of this app to the consumer has not been announced and the company plans to license PeepApp to other parties who will in turn bring it to market. Source:TelecomYatra
  18. Because Reliance by default blocks sending of the port code to the customer from the back end like many other operators. You need to lodge a complaint with Customer Care and then within few hours / at the most one day, they will send the port code to you. Port code is already generated at the backend and CC can tell you orally also.

  22. No, if you think it's a smartphone. Yes with many riders if the usage is just calls, sms and a QWERT keyboard phone is desired. Internet configuration for Indian operator will be difficult, rather impossible + many other usability issues. It has proprietary Danger OS, support for which has stopped. Screen resolution is good.. 854 x 480. Sidekick devices had a cult following once upon a time in US for the QWERT keyboard and somewhat simple OS. Now they are relics of the past. T Mobile later on introduced an Android keeping the soul of sidekick intact, the famous QWERT keyboard. It's called T Mobile Sidekick 4G >> http://www.samsung.c.../SGH-T839HABTMB
