Hi, Is someone else facing non working of 1x Data service on mobile?

Great going..... This will make the process transparent and will help everyone rather than few..... Thanks a lot to all who made it possible...

Jailbreaking simply means that you have access to system files. Its not related to its working on other network. Sent from Android Device

I feel you have not tried Cloud syncing like Google sync......no cables, no PC suits, no stupid conflict resolution...I am using it for my Android phone and BB and it works in background, all my contact info are updated in both the phones...

NEW DELHI: A national data base containing the unique identity of all mobile phones , known as the IMEI number – to block usage of handsets that are stolen or lost is set to become a reality, after leading telcos extended their support to this initiative. Sector regulator Trai, which recently proposed this initiative, will now put in place the guidelines and mechanisms to create this database, and will also decide the mode of funding for this project. This national initiative will enable mobile service providers to block all services to those handsets that are stolen, in an attempt to prevent their misuse. Telcos say this will discourage theft, but add it will not a 100% foolproof solution as resellers of stolen handsets can ‘illegally avail technologies that will enable them to reprogram or clone IMEI numbers’. International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number is a unique 14-digit code used to identify valid devices. “Blocking of IMEI is an effective solution to discourage mobile theft in the country as it will prevent the usage of stolen handset which is re-sold in the market to some extent. However, it alone cannot serve the purpose as the handsets can be easily reprogrammed and sold in the market,” the Cellular Operators Association of India , the body representing GSM operators, said in their response to Trai. This industry body has suggested that this central registry be maintained either by the government, or the regulator or by done by an authorised third party, and it be linked to the GSMA database having the white/grey/black list of all the handsets available in the market to reduce the efforts, risk of error and cost of updating the database separately by each service provider. This would also ensure that a global database of stolen devices is maintained. This also allows devices stolen in India to be blocked in other countries thereby maximising the value of blacklisting as it is generally recognised that stolen devices travel across national borders, the COAI added. Ericsson , the world’s largest telecoms gear maker, which also runs the mobile networks of Bharti Airtel and other telcos, has asked the regulator to adopt laws similar to that of the UK and make re-programming of IMEI numbers a criminal offence. This position has been supported by several mobile phone operators. Source : ET

Rumor: New Android Market, Google Music Announced Tomorrow by Quentyn Kennemer on February 1st, 2011 at 1:53 pm Rumor mill time! Taylor at Android & Me has been informed by a trusted source that Google will not only show off Android 3.0 in full bloom tomorrow at their press event, but will also announce details regarding the web-based Android market shown off at last year's I/O conference. If you don't remember, the new market enabled users to search for applications on a fully-featured front-end accessible from your desktop browser and allowed those on Android 2.2 and higher to install applications remotely and without ever touching their phones. A video of Vic Gundotra showcasing the new features sits below. The rumor also suggests Google Music – an online streaming music service that will eventually tie in with Android – will be revealed. We'd already seen some of Google's new music application at that same event last year, but hadn't heard a peep about the web-based front-end that would sit alongside the Android market. We're less than 24 hours away from the shindig at Google's home in Mountain View and we'll have our eyes peeled for any and everything to come out of it. Source

Done that multiple time, but no success...

I too had taken the plunge...hope everything goes smoothly

Microsoft’s Bing uses Google search results—and denies it 2/01/2011 02:56:00 PMBy now, you may have read Danny Sullivan’s recent post: “Google: Bing is Cheating, Copying Our Search Results” and heard Microsoft’s response, “We do not copy Google's results.” However you define copying, the bottom line is, these Bing results came directly from Google. I’d like to give you some background and details of our experiments that lead us to understand just how Bing is using Google web search results. It all started with tarsorrhaphy. Really. As it happens, tarsorrhaphy is a rare surgical procedure on eyelids. And in the summer of 2010, we were looking at the search results for an unusual misspelled query [torsorophy]. Google returned the correct spelling—tarsorrhaphy—along with results for the corrected query. At that time, Bing had no results for the misspelling. Later in the summer, Bing started returning our first result to their users without offering the spell correction (see screenshots below). This was very strange. How could they return our first result to their users without the correct spelling? Had they known the correct spelling, they could have returned several more relevant results for the corrected query. This example opened our eyes, and over the next few months we noticed that URLs from Google search results would later appear in Bing with increasing frequency for all kinds of queries: popular queries, rare or unusual queries and misspelled queries. Even search results that we would consider mistakes of our algorithms started showing up on Bing. We couldn’t shake the feeling that something was going on, and our suspicions became much stronger in late October 2010 when we noticed a significant increase in how often Google’s top search result appeared at the top of Bing’s ranking for a variety of queries. This statistical pattern was too striking to ignore. To test our hypothesis, we needed an experiment to determine whether Microsoft was really using Google’s search results in Bing’s ranking. We created about 100 “synthetic queries”—queries that you would never expect a user to type, such as [hiybbprqag]. As a one-time experiment, for each synthetic query we inserted as Google’s top result a unique (real) webpage which had nothing to do with the query. Below is an example: To be clear, the synthetic query had no relationship with the inserted result we chose—the query didn’t appear on the webpage, and there were no links to the webpage with that query phrase. In other words, there was absolutely no reason for any search engine to return that webpage for that synthetic query. You can think of the synthetic queries with inserted results as the search engine equivalent of marked bills in a bank. We gave 20 of our engineers laptops with a fresh install of Microsoft Windows running Internet Explorer 8 with Bing Toolbar installed. As part of the install process, we opted in to the “Suggested Sites” feature of IE8, and we accepted the default options for the Bing Toolbar. We asked these engineers to enter the synthetic queries into the search box on the Google home page, and click on the results, i.e., the results we inserted. We were surprised that within a couple weeks of starting this experiment, our inserted results started appearing in Bing. Below is an example: a search for [hiybbprqag] on Bing returned a page about seating at a theater in Los Angeles. As far as we know, the only connection between the query and result is Google’s result page (shown above). We saw this happen for multiple queries. For the query [delhipublicschool40 chdjob] we inserted a search result for a credit union: The same credit union soon showed up on Bing for that query: For the query [juegosdeben1ogrande] we inserted a page of hip hop bling jewelry: And the same hip hop bling page showed up in Bing: As we see it, this experiment confirms our suspicion that Bing is using some combination of: Internet Explorer 8, which can send data to Microsoft via its Suggested Sites feature the Bing Toolbar, which can send data via Microsoft’s Customer Experience Improvement Program or possibly some other means to send data to Bing on what people search for on Google and the Google search results they click. Those results from Google are then more likely to show up on Bing. Put another way, some Bing results increasingly look like an incomplete, stale version of Google results—a cheap imitation. At Google we strongly believe in innovation and are proud of our search quality. We’ve invested thousands of person-years into developing our search algorithms because we want our users to get the right answer every time they search, and that’s not easy. We look forward to competing with genuinely new search algorithms out there—algorithms built on core innovation, and not on recycled search results from a competitor. So to all the users out there looking for the most authentic, relevant search results, we encourage you to come directly to Google. And to those who have asked what we want out of all this, the answer is simple: we'd like for this practice to stop. Posted by Amit Singhal, Google Fellow

Yes, its a season of scams

What error are you getting ? I hope you are not using signature.....

Dear Kanaga, Just I wanted to know if your port out from Airtel to TATA has been through (After converting Airtel postpaid to pre) Was your Airtel in company name and CUG? I am too waiting for your conversion results..... I too migrated from post to pre and its not very clear that whether I can port out right away or do I need to wait for 90 days.... Please enlighten.

Nvidia seems to finally be getting some traction in the mobile CPU game. The Tegra 2 chip will be in several phones and tablets in the next few months, and is the first dual-core mobile processor available. In response Texas Instruments, maker of the popular OMAP mobile chips, is talking up their own upcoming OMAP4 cores. With all this talk of clock speeds, some important details of mobile processing get lost in the shuffle. When we talk about OMAP, Snapdragon, Tegra, or Hummingbird, we're really talking about a system-on-a-chip (SoC). There's more to it than just the clock speed. Stick with us so we can clue you in on the important details of the major platforms so you'll know what to look for. Samsung Hummingbird Samsung's Hummingbird SoC first debuted in the Galaxy S Android phone. The Hummingbird uses 45nm ARM Cortex A8 architecture at its heart with the ARMv7 instruction set. This part of the SoC is sometimes called the application processor. The 45nm manufacturing tech means that more transistors can fit on the die than in previous generations. But, the ARM architecture is just the starting point for chip design. Samsung (along with partner Intrinsity) had to build out some other features to differentiate the part. Intrinsity changed the logic design of the standard A8 allowing certain binary operations to be run with fewer total instructions. That means the same processes are completed, but in less time. When all is said and done, the Hummingbird is estimated to gain 5-10% over ARM's original tech. Samsung emphasizes power management while maintaining a high operating clock. Most Hummingbird cores are clocked at 1GHz, but the upcoming Infuse 4G will be clocked at 1.2GHz. Hummingbird also packs 32KB of both data and instruction cache, a variable-size L2 memory cache, and the ARM NEONmultimedia extension. This last feature is a real advantage for Samsung. With NEON, the Hummingbird is capable of better hardware video encoding and decoding, high quality graphics, and better sound processing. The A4 comes from Intrinsity, and is very similar to the Hummingbird. Another element of the SoC is it's GPU. The Samsung chip uses the PowerVR SGX540 GPU. In raw numbers, the Hummingbird is capable of rendering over 90 million triangles per second. This is a very powerful graphics unit that easily outclassed the Snapdragons when it was released, though the new generation Snapdragons have caught up somewhat. Qualcomm Snapdragon The Snapdragon CPU was the first SoC that people could buy that was factory clocked at 1GHz. The first generation Snapdragons were found in phones like the HD2, Nexus One, and Evo 4G. Now a new generation of Snapdragon chips have stepped things up. Unlike the Hummingbird, the Snapdragon does not use an ARM-designed application processor. Rather Qualcomm designed the core (called Scorpion) to have many features similar to the ARM Cortex-A8 architecture, but it does still use the ARMv7 instruction set. Going this route means an slight increase in instructions per clock cycle over the standard Coretex-A8. The last generation Snapdragon chips from the Nexus One era were using the 65nm process tech. Now phones like the Desire Z, Thunderbolt, and Desire HD are using new Snapdragons on 45nm technology. Just as with the Hummingbird, this means more transistors, and better performance. Even the G2 clocked at 800MHz can best a last gen Snapdragon at 1GHz. Qualcomm has chosen to go with Adreno GPU SoC elements (acquired from AMD). On phones like the Nexus One, the Snapdragon used the Adreno 200, which was a poor choice. It just couldn't stand up to the competition. The relative multimedia robustness of Scorpion was able to carry this SoC over the finish line, but just barely. The current generation Snapdragon uses Adreno 205 GPUs. This GPU is just as fast as the Hummingbird, if not faster. We applaud Qualcomm for realizing there was an issue, and fixing it. Qualcomm also adds both GPS and cellular antennas to their SoC. This is not necessarily the standard practice in the industry. This allows phones to be designed and built more easily, and with slimmer designs since additional components are in one package. It explains why we see so many manufacturers working with Qualcomm. Although, the differences mean a lot of model numbers to keep track of. If you want to look up a phone's specs, make sure to use the whole code. Texas Instruments OMAP The OMAP really kicked off the Android spec war when it was found residing at the heart of the Motorola Droid in late 2009. Like Samsung, Texas Instruments licenses the Cortex-A8 from ARM, but they do not do as much modification to the core as Samsung does. Unlike other manufacturers, there are a number of modelsout for the OMAP SoCs. That can make it hard to know just what's inside. The OMAP34x series are made using the older 65nm process, the OMAP36x use the newer 45nm technology. TI has added a few interesting elements to the package to go with these cores, some more useful than others. There is an IVA 2 imaging accelerator that supports hardware encoding of camera sensor data. This is paired with an integrated signal processor (ISP) that handles all the data crunching for image and video capture. The result is better battery performance and (hopefully) faster image capture. All OMAP SoCs in the 3-series use the PowerVR SGX530 GPU. This is capable part, but is starting to look a little slow compared to the GPU in the Hummingbird or new Snapdragon. To put things in perspective, this is very similar to the GPU in the iPhone 3GS (announced in June 2009). OMAP also has the advantage of using the NEON ARM instruction set to boost multimedia performance. TI has already been working hard to get the OMAP4 ready to go, and they expect the chips to begin showing up in devices later this year. One device of note expected to have the chip is the BlackBerry Playbook. These chips will have the newer PowerVR SGX540 GPU, a faster IVA 3 image accelerator, and oh yeah - dual Cortex-A9 1GHz cores. This chip will be a competitor to Nvidia Tegra 2, but it's still in production. Nvidia Tegra 2 Nvidia was going nowhere fast with the Tegra until recently. The only notable Tegra devices we could think of were the Kin and the Zune HD. It wasn't looking great, but now the Tegra 2 platform is about to explode all over Android. This SoC uses dual ARM Cortex-A9 cores clocked at 1GHz. It uses the ARMv7 instruction set as well. That alone makes it notable. It will be found in devices like the Motorola Atrix phone and Xoom tablet. The Cortex-A9 architecture uses a 40nm manufacturing process, so the transistor density is higher on this chip than the other A8-based chips. Power to the cores can be very closely monitored and controlled by the system, but both cores must be at the same power level (i.e. no individual control). Each core has 64KB of total cache, the same as individual A8 cores. Tegra 2 also uses dedicated ISPs that support up to 12MP camera sensors. The Tegra 2's other big trick is in the GPU department, just like you would expect from Nvidia. The GeForce Ultra Low Voltage (ULV) chip is called an 8 core GPU by Nvidia, but the truth is that these are not the standard shader cores from the desktop space. Half of the cores are for shaders, and half are for pixels. Still, the graphics performance is expected to be faster than the PowerVR SGX540. Tegra may pull ahead on battery use as well thanks to the multiple caches that can keep data readily accessible to the GPU. The GeForce GPU also allows for HDMI output support, and we expect more manufacturers take advantage of it like Motorola has with the Atrix. The world of mobile SoCs is a wild one. Each company has their own philosophy when it comes to putting out a chip. Some, like TI and Samsung, like to stick to the ARM architecture and design compelling packages around it. Qualcomm has designed a custom monster of a SoC, and their integrated designs have been a boon for manufacturers. Nvidia's Tegra 2 is the first of its kind. A consumer dual Cortex-A9 design with a killer GPU. We're excited to see how it can handle the daily grind regarding battery life. Dual-core SoCs from Qualcomm, Samsung, and TI are coming, but Tegra 2 looks like a tough act to follow. Source
