  1. Hi all, I'm currently using Uninor for my GSM number in AP circle, got Uninor for the great voice call rates, but growing more and more frustrated with network coverage recently and also there are no roaming plans - so I get huge decrease in balance even for weekend trips. Also, my data seems to be not working in roaming in Tamil Nadu (might be due to non-Uninor circle). Looking seriously to MNP to some other network now: Strictly prepaid - should be present in both AP & TN, presence in KA is a plus Good voice (both local and std, I generally use 3-months 1p/2s STVs on Uninor) and data plans (2G is sufficient) in home network and good STV for Roaming voice and if possible Roaming data Decent network coverage in Hyderabad and Chennai Please suggest network and/or plans/STVs. MNP to CDMA is also an option if the plans are very good. Thanks, Mekkie

  2. Water Proof Handsets

    mekturk replied to alugobi's topic in Handset Suggestions

    Another one from Kyocera - Boost Mobile Kyocera Hydro.
  3. Is the Android version 4.2 (I think S4 ships with 4.2)? If yes, it might be difficult to recover the files as Android uses folder emulation for /sdcard. Basically one folder within the /data partition (internal memory) of the phone is used as sdcard, and external sdcard (if any) might be mounted to some alternate location. This was chosen by Google because it fits well with their multi-user support and manufacturers anyway started shipping with bigger internal memories as internal memory got cheaper. Now, the problem with this approach is that /data (internal memory) uses linux filesystem (generally ext2) and if /sdcard (which is now actually a folder under /data) is directly exposed as USB mass storage, Windows PC's would detect them as unknown filesystem and offer to "format" the sdcard" - which is not what Google wants it's users to even accidentally do - so they removed USB MS support. MTP and CTP are filesystem-agnostic (not dependent on filesystem) and can be used with any filesystem internally. I'm really not sure what options are there for you, but if what I said above is the case, you might have to look for ext2 recovery tools. Going little advanced you could probably use root / recovery and use 'dd' or Recovery's backup option to take .img or disk backup of internal sdcard (or /data if internal sdcard option is not available) - copy the backup disk image file to a linux PC, mount it and use linux based ext2 filesystem recovery tools to look for the photos in that disk backup. Where is your friend based? It's an interesting engineering problem, if logistics is not an issue, I can try to help.
  4. Yes, recently did 2-3 porting - same process - send SMS, get port code, apply with new operator, 7 days bingo - new network. Actually 7 days is approximate, got port Uninor to RCDMA in 4 days, whereas port Uninor to Aircel took 7 working days.
  5. If you're inclined towards Sony Xperia - Xperia L is a good option ~15-16K
  6. In your budget, I would recommend going for something branded - Galaxy S advance is a good phone in that range - if you can relax till 15K, LG Optimus L9 is the best you can get. IMHO branded phones can last 2-3 years easily getting you good resale price also which none of these Indian Chinese makes can ever dream of.

  7. iOS 7 - Concept - A Blend of Jellybeans And Windows 8

    mekturk replied to ::: VA :::'s topic in iOS (Apple)

    Tabbed file explorers have been there from the beginning of GUI Linux.
  8. ^^^ Really good headset - can connect simultaneously to two phones, good voice quality, decent range. Best deal was 494 Rs some days back on cromaretail.com, but for 650 also it's worth.

  9. RIMweb Meet - Hyderabad

    mekturk replied to Guru Gopal's topic in The Lounge

    I'm in. If you think HITEC City is a decent alternative place (I know it's nowhere near the center), I can arrange for place in a restaurant.
  10. What a man! I'm interested in local pickup the bulky printer, if couriering doesn't work out. I can also help in picking up local SCH-LC11 myfi units, program them and ship them to whoever you originally wanted to send.
  11. If that doesn't go through, I'm interested in picking up from Hyderabad local.
  12. No VGA port in 32HV10ZE. Only HDMI in, Component in, Composite in.
  13. I think this must have been the problem cause on putting the headset in and out a couple of times, the phone started respinding normally. Had same problem in my Kyocera Rise. If the problem keeps repeating, get this app from Market - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devandroid.headseticon It puts a notification whenever there is an headphone inserted - that would help you find out if your phone is thinking there is a headphone inserted even when there is none.
  14. ^^^^ Maybe your DIAG mode is not enabled - have you found your SPC code and enabled DIAG mode using ##DIAG## ???

  15. Handset Launches - News Snippets

    ^^^ Galaxy Grand Quattro is same as Galaxy Win - http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_win_i8550-5392.php

  16. MNP after Change-Of-Ownership?

    mekturk replied to MOBILE FAN's topic in Mobile Number Portability (MNP)

    Yeah, even I was surprised - if you've the port code, you can kidnap somebody's number
  17. ^^^ Get from Indiatimes for 6151 like Aditya suggested - or wait and look for deals / coupons on ebay and other online sites.
  18. Thanks all for the suggestions. Going through different plan details of Vodafone, Aircel and Airtel.
  19. A9+ is good - dual-core Qualcomm chipset - if you wait, you can get good deals for ~6K, awesome phone for that price!

  20. Android Mobiles From India

    mekturk replied to rajanmehta's topic in Other handsets

    lol Jokes aside, chinese phones come with the most commonly available screen size and resolution as they tend to be cheapest.
  21. You asked him to stay away and the one you suggested above has 1 GHz Cortex A5 processor with Dual-SIM facility. The one I asked to stay away is Dual-GSM - no 3G. This is the chinese chipset. The one I suggested is Dual-SIM GSM+3G. This is Qualcomm Snapdragon S1 - there is a difference.
  22. Get Droid Razr M from our trusted sellers - awesome phone with OMH support (has GSM support also - helps when you upgrade to another phone) - great signal and voice quality.
  23. Posted 19 April 2011 - 07:02 PM Posted 15 April 2013 - 10:24 AM I think these kind of elderly phones are still available from Indian Chinese vendors like iBall, INTEX, etc.
  24. Don't buy BSNL - I've had very bad experience - the problem is not with their coverage, but with some technical issues in their network - when I had BSNL SIM, I used to get full signal everywhere, but the moment I start talking, the signal would start fading and the voice quality would be very bad. I've switched to Uninor through MNP - in Uninor coverage is not good, but when you've good signal, voice quality would be good. If getting CDMA is an option - get Reliance CDMA - I've almost never got a call cut while traveling in Bus/Train/others inside Hyderabad on my RCDMA number - and CDMA is best for voice quality by virtue of technology, CDMA voice quality doesn't depend upon the signal quality (it only depends on presence or absence of signal) whereas GSM voice quality is directly related to signal quality.

  25. Discounts & Deals For Non Electronics/Gadget Stuff

    mekturk replied to mickeyforu's topic in The Lounge

    Go for this people. I got this some 2-3 months back in same ShopClues deal and one of the best toothbrushes I've ever used. With this toothbrush, first time ever I don't get any left over toothpaste after the first brushing, also it cleans all the nook and corner of the mouth. I thought the Oral-B blue band would go soon and I could change to one of the other two, but not happening yet. I think one set should be good for one year. All these deals, I feel guilty how much we're bleeding the online shopping sites - somewhere I read, none of the Indian online shopping sites have made any profit yet.
