    ^^^^

    In that case, time extension must NOT be given, since even weeks back RJio told it will comfortably satisfy roll-out obligations and now why they need FIVE more years??? Further they will ask 5 more years to extend the license period for FREE later... Better they return the spectrum to Govt like BSNL and MTNL has done...

    Wait till the launch, you will be drooling over it ;)

    Tried testing it. It seems surely hard bricked

    - without battery on charger/usb - it shows red led and on connecting to pc it tries to install drivers and fails for qhsusb_dload

    - with battery (tested on 3 batteries) - nothing

    - vol up/down+power+home does nothing - no download mode.

    - ried putting debrick file in sd and booting from it but did not work - so it is not a bootloader brick

    Can it be JTAGed? I will be in Kol till weekend and then Mum for few months starting next week, would you have a look please if any of you has some time? @gauravjc @::Hitesh:: @KanishkGandharv @parin

    Else will buy replacement mb

    Check HOMEROAM_349 Plan details in below image.
    Another option would be to generate a portout request and when retention calls, ask for SpecialDZERO plan which has ZERO rental & all calls at 50 Paise Minute.

    Thanks!

    The Rs 349 rental looks great but unsure about roaming bit. Does it have incoming and outgoing roaming free (up to the bundled minutes)? Cannot see the tinypic img at work and rcom website has me confused (red highlights are mine)

    And I am going to generate PUK, but does SpecialDZERO have no roaming incoming and outgoing charges?

    All,

    I am on the Rs1499 unlimited postpaid plan. Because my s3 is dead I am not using the 5gb EVDO bundled with it and want to downgrade to a lower rental plan - cheaper the better

    Requirements:

    1. Most importantly roaming free (incoming/outgoing)

    2. Average usage 1000 minutes outgoing - 75% STD 25% local (more than 95% offnet)

    3. Data not required

    4. SMS approx 100

    I prefer postpaid because I am on roaming and will be difficult to get an out of circle RUIM to migrate to prepaid

    Number is of Karnataka circle, and on roaming in Kolkata circle

    Any advice is much appreciated

    hi ! when the phone was working when u inserted the battery back that time it used to start by itself or by pressing the power button ?

    i suspect the power button is faulty ...

    It used to start after pressing the power button. When it turned off and after a batter pull, the following is the sequence

    1. put in the battery

    2. press the power button

    3. phone vibrates

    4. press the power button

    5. phone vibrates again and splash screen comes

    This was before it went dead completely. I was using a zerolemon extended battery and to test using stock battery I have ordered a new one from ebay. Earlier stock battery seems bloated though both batteries were holding normal charge and phone was working with both of them (with occasional abrupt switching off over last 3-4 days)

    you can just put a battery in and connect charger or connect it to PC

    you should see some activity on pc while connected via USB to pc

    or just see if you can follow my mail

    Plugged into charger but no led or no activity. Will test using PC once new battery arrives

    (Apologies for not putting this in the S3 megathread)

    I have a Verizon Galaxy S3 which has stopped turning on. For the last few days it would turn off abruptly without any warning message or sound. When turning off it would not go via the usual shutdown route. Just a black screen and no buttons responding.

    I would pull the battery and then restart it. The problem became more frequent and today morning it shut down again. After that when restarting it was stuck on the GS3 splash screen. I pulled the battery and since then it has not started again

    I have tested using two different batteries over the last few days and same result. Now neither battery is turning the phone on. Also I had checked the emmc brick bug using gplay app and it said sane chip and also memory test passed

    Was on stock rooted 4.1

    Service center said they cannot fix it as it is a non India IMEI. :( They did not even look at it, told this over the phone

    Any idea please? It is my primary phone and am totally lost without it

    Instead of width="1024" height="790" try width="100%" height="100%" in both <object> and </object> see if it works?

    e.g.

    <div style="position: fixed; z-index: 9999; width: 100%; height: 100%">
<iframe frameborder="0" height="100%" width="100%"

    Err no, in fact many ebay sellers clearly say they will not ship to WB and some parts of UP and NE (a few examples) because here waybill is required (and it is thec customer's responsibility to get the waybill - ridiculous!)

    My guess is you are looking at the wrong problem. Waybill, CST, entry tax - are all anti business and ultimately anti people. If ecommerce websites stopped shipping due to lack of waybill then who is the end loser? The customer. Not the etailer, not the archaic government - but the customer who cannot buy something cheaper and quicker online

    If you really want to file a PIL, focus on an uniform tax which should do away with the multitude of VAT, CST etc

    You are debiting tax system simplification & thread topic is " E-Commerce Websites Compliant With Indian State/Center Tax Laws? " I am talking with current tax system, which we have to follow and I am clear about my wish : not to lose any employments of local residents due to unhealthy competition.

    You see, any MNC like Amazon or wallmart can put tiny amount (for them) and they can spoil local business.

    Why Amazon USA collecting state tax while delivery on particular state address.

    In my view ebay.in is fraud, they are supporting anti tax practice and arranging deliveries.

    Uniform tax system (GST), Govt is planning but accounts must be on computer system for smoother flow, online work etc. which is currently not suitable for Indian condition, in Hyderabad, in day time 4 hrs. power cut applicable, Industries need to close 3 days in week due to power shortage.

    All the best.

    I am not debating whether e-commerce websites are compliant with current laws or not. That has already been answered by many more knowledgeable members, and to me it seems the jury is out on it - and there is no conclusive proof that e-tailers are engaging in fraud

    Let me explain my earlier post. I just happened to spot in the OP that you plan to file a public interest litigation against unfair trade practices of e-tailers, so I responded. Because the irony is, that this PIL, if filed, will not be in public interest of the consumer

    This leads to the crux of the problem - India has archaic tax laws, and due to non-uniform taxation imposed by states the situation is in a mess. Why should a resident of WB have to arrange for a waybill when someone from neighboring OR does not need to? GST aims to do away with it - but as you rightly said, GST is not yet implemented

    Your post itself highlights more pressing concerns which merit PILs - 4 hourly power cuts for example. We have seen examples of good-intention-ed but misguided PILs in India (e.g. based on a single PIL the HC banned tinted glasses in all cars - without taking into account the pros and cons clearly)

    Edit - also there is a MNC vs local business debate that you have brought into the argument. I will not debate it, but historically competition has been good for the industry and for the consumer - in all industries. India is a mature enough economy now and non-essential FMCG

    local businesses do not really need underhanded protection

    Anyway, we can agree to disagree. All the best to you also

    Another law is to avoid sales from other state is WayBills (Forms). and in few state >5K worth of materials, seller must attached way bills (own state and purchaser state) along with invoice. If customer is not registered from sales tax department (individual users), he must collect the way bill from sales tax department and send it to seller. but here e-commerce sites they are sending all materials even without invoice.

    It is a big scam, if one challenge.

    I don't want to hijack this thread topic, so my request to moderators for creating new topic, if this forum need further discussion.
