    I think u people are matured.

    Sometimes maturity comes from the pocket. :P

    I and my friends like SMS a lot.
    If you like sms logic tells shift to gsm lots of sms like flash sms and animated sms are not available on any handset of reliance and there are more gsm players which give free sms and sms at 30ps and there is a lot of inter operator compatibility in gsm to gsm than say gsm to cdma.
    Whenever I get a call and I have charger with me.
    I will use Rworld to my max.

    If you use r-world to the max then your battery life will automatically come down be it any color handset then how can you expect not to be worried when you get a call. It is better to use r-world with charger (set your priorities straight).

    Find someone who will buy the handset for a good price ( around 4-5k ...... i know it is a big loss since you bought it for 12k but there is no other go ) and later buy a new handset of your choice and swap the numbers ------ it is posssible with mutual understanding at rww i have enquired.

    Nil

    You can easily swap numbers at rww with mutual understanding and a good rapport with the technical guy at the rww since it is not done officially.

    Hey Guys

    Looks that no one is satisfied with GTRAN. I take a contarary view ------ it has got all the features that i need for a mobile that is

    1. Making and receiving calls ***** ( i have never had any problems till date)

    2. GOod Ring tones from PC sync software ***

    3. Great display and good looks (though its exterior may have been better) ****

    4. Mobile banking and checking mail (rediff) **

    5. Sms (though it may have been better one gets used to it but it hardly matters to me now since making a call is cheaper than sending sms and other operators have made it costlier to send sms to reliance atleast in karnataka) *

    As far as missing r-world applications none of those are of really much use since i dont need to make rail reservation or m-coupons etc.

    My only greivance is against the battery life but fortunately it lasts a day for me which is enough.

    I would rather keep this great handset which fortunately works for me than change my handset and later realize that the new handset has got bugs and crib

    about it (which is inevitable since no handset is perfect without bugs)

    Regards

    NAV 2004 professional is good but it utilizes too much system resourses and really slows down the computer. However it doesnt detect spyware and you have to use adware removers like adaware to remove spyware ---- this is really irritating.

    Just for info - nav pased the above test.

    one day is good for u? well this phone has a talk time of less than 90 minutes, so if u get a call that has a talk time of say 15 minutes or so, ur standby comes tumbling down to les than a day, and charging a battery more than once a day is annoying. moreover we all are finding ways to extract talk time out of our phone ( by using methods such as keeping the backlight off, decreasing the sub LCD contrast) one of the members said he was able to make the phone last for 44 hours, by recieving only two calls, sending one sms etc, . now the purpose of paying money for a mobile phone is  not to make the phone last longer by hook or by crook but to enjoy all the features of the phone. are trying to please ourselves by saying that we "can" or we are "able to" make the phone last longer? I think more than anything else this phone needs a battery upgrade.

    I tried it only once to know the standby time. It says on the manual that stnadby time is 90-120 hrs but the actual fact is it is less than half of that. Yeah you are right we should enjoy all the features of the phone and not worry about the battery life.

    The battery of gtran is lithium standard ---- is there any difference between lithium standard and lithium ion battery ??

    A few more complaints to the chairman and these too will be sorted out --- especially MMS which seems to be on the cards after icici bank ------ as far as ringtones are concerned none of the ringtones in rworld are good and it is possible to save latest ringtones through he pc sync.

  11. Posted · Report reply

    Hi all

    This is regarding icici bank on gtran --------- it is finally here!!!!

    One less complaint against GTRAN -------- and one of the most useful feature needed by me on rworld!!!

    I have no more complaints about rworld on GTRAN and the handset in general since the feature which i wanted is finally here. My only complaints now are against the billing of relaince!!!! (hope this too is rectified soon)

    Maybe this feature coming on gtran is thanks to concerted efforts of complaining to the chairman by the unofficial moderator of this forum saurav. :)

    Thanks a lot!!!

    I tried to use lg 2030 without battery in a travel charger but it gets switched off as soon as you press the yes or no button. One cant make calls effectively without battery ----- i guess thats one advantage of GTRAN over LG 2030 !!!! B)

    I wonder why it doesnt work for LG 2030 ???

    Is it the same with all the LG2030 or is mine the only exception???

    Regards

    Hi all

    I learnt this fact a coupleof days ago. When i was about to charge the phone with the travel charger the battery fell off suddenly and the phone continued to work!!

    This is a really weird ------ and totally useless fact since it takes the meaning out of the word 'mobile'.

    Just wanted all you guys to know this absurd fact.

    Thats It!!

    Regards

    Good idea saurav.

    Here are a few more tips ----

    1. Reduce the contrast of sub-lcd (external lcd) to as low as possible

    2. Disable call connect/call disconnect and service alerts

    3. Reduce the ringtone volume as per your preference

    4. Reduce the contrast of main lcd display

    5. Disable key tone

    with these tweaks i could stretch my battery life to a maximum of 44 hours on the trot ------- this maximum was acheived with all the tweaks above along with minimum use of the phone. I tried this only once with my 3 month old battery---- i havent yet used the other battery yet.

    ananth....how much net amount (including initial payment for old handset u paid? Did u get credit of Club membership charges in next month bill as was published in upgrade scheme? r u under PDC? Is relaince charging & collecting Rs. 100 towards financing charges after upgradation? could u pls. give details?

    15655[/snapback]

    I had paid 3350 initially for lg 2030 handset. Used it for 1 year in budget 149 scheme. I upgraded the handset in july this year ------ by paying Rs 8651. I had also applied for plan change from budget 149 to economy 149 in july ----- the bill of july arrived with 8651 being debited to my account along with 1200 credit (100/month for 12 months) but my plan wasnt changed and i was also charged 100 extra as earlier and also i wasnt credited 8651 which i had already paid. This continued for the next month also ----- i wasnt credited 8651 and was also charged late payment fees for previous month.the plan wasnt changed either. This was too much i then took this matter to the reliance web world, customer care (which is useless) and also to the chairmans office. The chairmans office was the most useful and they rectified my problem in 2 days flat---- they credited 8651 and 100 along with late payment charges. But i was shifted automatically to NEW JOY 149 with mobile pack (monthly commitment of 224)in the month of september which i hadnt asked for ------ so now i will be takin this mater up again with chairmans office.

    Phew!!! that was it ---- hope this cleared your doubts basant.

    Now i will have to take up a new fight for gettin Rs 50 back and also to change my plan from new joy 149 to economy 149 ------ guess one always has to be on his toes with reliance cause they dont seem to get anything right !!!

    I too faced the same problem after upgradation to gtran ------- I had paid 8651 to upgrade but this was debited in my bill and not credited ---- also they had charged 100 towards monthly installments as earlier ------ but after a long battle with the rww guys and also complains to the chairman i was credited 8651 and 100 along with the late payment charges for the previous months. :clap:

    I guess the REAL cost of the handsets is (price of selling at launch/3)

    The same thing happened to my friends who bought nokia 3100 in gsm 3-4 months back ------- they bought the handset for Rs 10500 with bill and now the price for the same is Rs 6200 in grey market.

    Then there is the example of Nokia 6610 (a great handset) which cost 24000 on is release and now costs 7500 in grey market.

    There is depriciation in everything and one has to live with it ------ it is not cheating.

    So dont worry about the cost as long as it works fine.......

    Hi Saurav

    first of all thanks for standing up to reliance !!!! ;)

    they already have started makin changes now ---

    1. they have removed the mms section in gtran ( mostly it is gettin upgraded)

    2. they have started icici mobile banking services

    As for distorted sms problem ---- i just hope they rectify it when they get a software upgrade

    Hi saurav

    Its really great that you are trying your best. Initially i was also really frustrated with the non availability of applications like icici bank and games on r-world.

    But after i complained to rcc they said that icici bank will be made available in a few days --------- i am still waiting.

    Anyways there are atleast ( just a wild guess) 20000-40000 (maybe more) subscribers of GTRAN and reliance cant afford to ignore this group.

    I dont think there can be any solutions to the distorted sms (one has to get adjusted to it i guess) but applications in r-world and mms hopefully will be made available.

    I really want to use icici bank services on r-world and will complain to the chairmans office in a few days.

    Meanwhile i had a few other complaints to the chairman which were resolved amicably. My bill after handset upgradation got deducted Rs 8651/ ----- an amount which i had already paid ----- it didnot get rectified even after 2 bills ---- so i complained to the chairmns office and in reply i got an assurance that everything will be sorted out (i just gave a jist of my bill problems i dont think anyone wants to hear the whole story).

    i guess reliancehas a way to trick honest subscribers and reward the defaulters.

    Regards

    My battery gives me around 1 - 1.5 days max. Am really not happy with it since my old phones (lg 2030 gave 2 - 2.5 days and nokia 3310 gave 3 - 3.5 days)------------------- some people use both the batterys given together with the GTRAN (keep one for chargin on the desktop charger when the other battery is in use)-------------- but i didnt want to do so hence i keep it for chargin every night.

    Also GTRAN charger is not available everywhere like the nokia chargers --------- hence one cant take the risk of not chargin everyday unless one carries the charger around everywhere or carries the charged spare battery along.

    yeah...this handset rules. its the next best thing.

    gtran buyers will be regreting after they see this handset and its features...

    now its pretty sure that this is my next handset upgrade after good ol' lgrd2030.

    cheeers..

    No way GTRAN owners wiil be regreting after seeing the phone ----------- GTRAN is a way better phone and i am fully satisfied with it.

    LG 5130 is a good phone for its price------------- but like lg 2030 it has only 3 downloadable tones and no PC sync ( except bitpim)

    Hi tanveer

    Recently even i dont get the fully charged sign on my lcd------------- maybe it is bcoz i keep the phone power ON while chargin and my battery is not discharged fully b4 keepin it for rechargin again.

    But when the battery is fully discharged AND the phone is kept OFF while chargin on the travel charger only then the battery gets fully charged after about 6 hours------ this is what i have noticed on my phone.

    Please try this out and post your views.
