  1. Beginners Guide To Android

    One simple one. I have got myself a Wildfire S, and am planning to S-off and root it. It is on the OTA 2.3.5 and has a Marvel ROM. I will have to go the htcdev.com route, by the looks of it. I have downloaded and insatalled the bits, namely, Android sdk, adb, fastboot etc. Today I thought I will do a backup. I went into the bootloader (Vol down + power) and when I entered recovery I got a triangle with an exclamation mark, and it was just hanging there. Does recovery not work with this approach?
  2. Rooting HTC Wildfire S

    I am about to root my Wildfire S (2.3.5) using htcdev.com to get S-off. Unfortunately Kaspersky AV (corporate license, so no option to change any permission). A couple of questions: 1. How does one do a backup since htcdev S-off does a factory reset. I hope 2.3.5 (OTA) will be preserved. 2. What files have to be installed. I hear that OneClickRoot works on the Wildfire S. Can a guru guide me here. Any other pitfalls?
  3. Rooting HTC Wildfire S

    I am more confused than ever. I had rooted my Dinc2 using AlphaRevXbeta (a couple of days before they became revolutionary). Now S-off has to be htcdev.com. XDA information is quite confusing, since it includes CDMA, and vendor locked units. There is stuff about bricking and the lot. Anybody with experience in India with open handsets. Any issues. I am on standard Wisdfire S with 2.3.5 OTA upgrade, Any noobs guide will help.
  4. I will see it I can get my hands on a 5GHz unit, and go for 2.4G only as a compromise.
  5. Wildfire S (GSM) to replay the Samsung Galaxy I5510 in which I managed to damage the SIM carrier. I am totally in love with Sense, so had to get a htc. Upgraded the OS to 2.3.5 OTA and am now planning to S-Off and then root it. I do not think with htcdev.com in the act there are any other options (revolutionary.io) left.
  6. I feel it is an excellent judgement. Should be a big nail in the coffin of crony capitalism, not only in Telecom but all over. As for FCFS I understand that the earlier pricing was arrived after multiple rounds of bidding. So it was only the implementation which was FCFS. Remember the total base in India was (if I remember right) 7m and in the Raja mess it was about 100x. Also, where was FCFS. Every conceivable (and a few more) goalpost was moved. I bet the UPA jokers have been into the NDA policy with a fine comb and found nothing. What happens to the Zero loss theory of Sibbal. Two Harvard trained lawyers have been bested by a Harvard don!!
  7. Samsung i5510 Eating Up Battery

    My wife's i5510 is just eating up the battery of late. Battery life was in excess of 10 days. Now we are lucky to get even a day. Also, it seems to be intermittently vibrating all the time. My questions: 1. What can be the cause (no fresh apps). 2. How to fix it. If necessary how to do a factory reset. The unit is on Froyo.
  8. Samsung i5510 Eating Up Battery

    @piyushj; The unit is under a year old. How does one do a factory reset of the 5510?
  9. Pros & Cons: HTC Droid Incredible 2

    I simply adore it. I got it when my Epic 4G started playing up and Hetal offered this to me. A lovely phone in every way. I had a problem in Froyo - the screen will dim but not switch off. Perfect in Gingerbread (2.3.3). It is far more rugged than the Samsung equivalent. I know someone who had a good look and got himself an Incredible S. Yes, with htc S-Off is a bit of a pain, but otherwise it is simply brilliant. I am thinking of changing my wife's Samsung I5510 for a mid range htc (like Wildfire S).
  10. The itemised billing in the long term will reduce the false charging. Also, I suspect the motive behind this nothing as noble. It is to allow prepaid customers in Govt Departments to also claim the charges of the Phone Allowance.
  11. Can I Transfer My Number From One State To Another State?

    These are paired circles, so mobility is allowed.
  12. Can I Transfer My Number From One State To Another State?

    Strictly speaking the delimiter is not a state but a circle.
  13. Laptop Buying Advice

    Yes there is none. When we bought it in early November a set of 5.1 speakers from Philips was included as a freebie. I personally think Toshiba is far more reliable than others. I have had enough problems with HP/Compaq (three units), Lenovo and Acer (two units)
  14. Laptop Buying Advice

    May I suggest a couple: Toshiba 4013 (14", i5, 4GB, 500GB, no OS). About 32k Asus K53SV (15", i7, 8GB, 2GB video, 750GB, no OS). About 48k Toshiba are rightly considered as the Mercedes of Laptops!
  15. This is the reason I am keeping it - postpaid at that! They have put in towers irrespective of the ecom=nomics. I suspect Airtel and Vodafone will match them soon. In fact in the Andamans Aittel & Vodafone were working, but with an intermittent and feeble signal.
  16. I would be a bit careful of Huawei. Their products are excellent, but who know Bharat Sarkar may see a fly and ban them!
  17. Agreed. But if you are in an out of the way place it is the only one jo lagta hai. We were in Andamans in December. Outside Port Blair (i.e., in Neil, Havelock, and even Baratang) Bhai Saheb Nahin Lagega was the only network working. Even in Port Blair I could not get my Tata Photon to puick up any signal! Things may nto always be that way. We were in Leh a couple of years ago, and when we landed BSNL was out for three days, only Aircel (and its roaming partners) were working!
  18. I paid and got the pro license for my TitaniumPro on the 27th. Yesterday I find that it has reverted to the Donate version. Is there a way to get back the paid version, The $5.95 is not such a big deal but then why has it happened? How to avoid a repeat.
  19. Titanium Pro Reverts To Donate Version

    Finally fixed. Went intomarket, uninstalled and then reinstalled TitaniumBackup.
  20. Titanium Pro Reverts To Donate Version

    I wrote to themon Google. The reply is We checked your Google Checkout order and everything looks fine. Please note that the "Donate" and "PRO" versions offer exactly the same functionality. Also the Pro version (from the Market) is just a key, you also need to install the free Titanium Backup app in addition to it. In case your Pro key from Market is malfunctioning, please try to un-install it, then reboot twice and install it again. I have sent the following reply One small clarification. I see three apps with Titanium logo - TBPatcher4x 44kB), TitaniumBackup (4.87MB) and Titanium BackupPRO 80kB in the Application Manager. Titanium shows two apps Titanium Backup PRO 1.2.0 and TB Patcher 4x 3.6 in Titanium.I am also seeing backups at 12.03 on Dec 30 and 11.13 on 27 Dec. The receipt is at 11:07 am.So the backup is after that! i.e., Pro was working. I need it to Freeze some apps. What is that I need to uninstall, reboot twice,and reinstall. Please confirm that itis the TitaniumBackup 4.87MB, which I then reload from the market. Next mail. He said it was theProkey only (80kB). Did not work. He further states that the key can be downloaded again. As long itisthe same google account there are no issues.
  21. Titanium Pro Reverts To Donate Version

    The pro worked for couple of days. Also, another Titanium icon was installed. That has now banished. Will check out the link when I am back to my laptop. I see it is installed but not showing up. Will check the SD card point. Thanks
  22. Please suggest best CDMA Business Phone

    Unless you must have BB features, I will say that go in for htc - say Incredible 2. Most of the features you want are in-built or available through free apps. For a smartphone there are only three real choices in the OS. BB, Apple or Android. Apple is out unless you are a Steve Joba fanatic. In Android htc Sense is the best user interface you can find.
  23. As per todays paper Reliance blocked some websites on the orders of the GoI.
  24. Installing Devanagri On Android

    I have an Incredible 2 on Froyo duly rooted. I want to add Devanagri support to this. I found one link http://chetangole.com/blog/2011/08/enabling-installing-hindi-marathi-unicode-fonts-on-android-mobile/ to this. However, installing ES File Explorer and enabling it with root explorer and mount file system, I am unable to find the ttf's given. I managed to download them onto my laptop. Now, I guess I have to copy them on to the /system/font directory. Except I am unable to locate this directory. Any guidance will be most welcome.
