Its a very new term for Indians. So let me tell you about the latest in the telecom industry.
Mobile Number portability is formally launched in India by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. Describing telecom industry as one of India's most success story. He also stressed that India adds 50 million new cellphone subscriber per month. He also added that "More Indian have been touch by this revolution that and other program in the history of our nation".
Mobile number portability means changing your service provider with out changing out number.For eg: If you don't like airtel service then you can shift to vodafone or aircel or any other service provider.
How much it cost?
It'll cost you Rs 19 and you're guaranteed the change in less than a week.
A subscriber must be with a provider for at least three months.
How to shift or switch to some other service provider?
Type "PORT",leave a space,type your mobile number and then SMS it to 1900. Then you receive a reply from 1901 with a unique code and date.
You then have to submit your identity proof, address proof, and photograph with the code to the service provider you want, by the date given to you.
In the next seven days(15 days in North-East and J&K), the master clearing house will check if you have any outstanding dues and then process your request. Your new service will then start on your old number.
Restrictions include a minimum stay of three months and the subscriber can't change the circle. Portability began in November 2010 in Haryana.
Disadvantages
You cannot switch from one State to other which would mean that you cannot have one number across the country. Example if your number is registered in Punjab you cannot switch to a service provider in Maharashtra.
Once you switch your service provider you cannot switch again for the next 90 days.
First and the foremost we all are aware about the environment pollution and our contribution is required to control it.
Today's world is computer world. And we use it everywhere ,at homes,offices schools etc.Same is the case of printer. With the high cost of printer cartidges and the printer being used at many places ,the demand for the recycle ink cartridges is on very high demand then ever before.There are several reason for using recycle ink cartridges. But there are some people who doesn't use recycle ink cartridges, but its not surprising.
Ink cartridges is spread in all the dimensions now. And when the cartridges are empty they are litter everwhere. Plastic is a non-biodegradeable substance, hence cartridges will remain on the earth for times, and it is very hazzardous. The permanent solution of this problem is to use the recycle ink cartridges.
Cartidges are very expensive these days and a printer cann't operate without it. One way to save money and to contribute to the green earth is to use recycle ink cartridges.
Manufactures who produce cartidges argues that reuse of recycle ink cartidges will damage the printer. But that is false. The company that produces the recycle ink cartridges have to meet certain standards for the end quality product. You can buy the recycle ink cartridges online and they have diverse brands. You are going to save a lot of money and contribute to the protection of the environment.
In todays content I m going to write about 3G technology .It will be less of the technical terms and more with the simple things which will help every reader to understand.
All of us might have seen many advertisement about 3G. But ...............what actually is 3G?
3G is the latest and the third generation of wireless technology. It has some advancement like high multimedia access,high speed transmission,global roaming etc. It is used mostly in mobile phones to connect to the internet or IP(which means internet protocal).
What are the qualities that 3G carry compare to the previous version?
Several times higher data speed
Enhanced audio and video streaming
Video-conferencing support
Web and WAP browsing at higher speeds
IPTV (TV through the Internet) support
What do you required to us 3G?
First thing that you required to use 3G is a mobile phone with 3G compatibility. You might have already heard or seen in the market about 3G phones.It has nothing to do with the memory capacity or the cameras.
3G compatible phones has two cameras , one of the camera facing the user as it allow video calls.
Like all the other mobiles your 3G phone is connect through SIM card which can be purchased from the service provider. Through that we get connected with the internet with in a 3G nework. Even if you don't have 3G you can use 2G which is the previous version.
How is the cost of 3G?
3G is the latest in the mobile technology.........so its not going to be cheap. But I suggest those users to get 3G connection who needs connectivity with the move. It is very helpful for businness person.
But you can always check with the service provider about different pacakage.
In this article I m going to discuss something about taking care of our laptop battery.
If you are a new user or if u have a new laptop which come with the operating manual which contains many information regarding the uses of the newly bought laptop, please spend some of your expensive time in reading that information guide. Many people tend to ignore the operation manual thinking that they are used to computers or PC. Some of the vital information including the proper use of your laptop with out damaging the battery should be gone through. Now I am going to discuss some of the tips for the proper uses of your latpop without damaging the battery.
The most important thing, all laptop battery comes with expiry date. It cann't be for lifetime use. You have few years of good use and if you maintain it then may be for some more longer. But the fact is that your battery will not last. Once you understand this you have an idea what to do and how to do with it. You must understand that the battery is fragile thing that may be broken if stretched out above its limit.
Secondly never take the charging process for granted. Never overcharge your battery and never let the battery power go zero also. Battery strive for consistency. If you are consistent your battery lifetime will be steady. The worst experience that I have encounter with my first laptop is that, i can see the battery dying out when I require it most. If you are in my place I hope you understand how I felt, then you should keep an eye at your laptop.Make sure to take care of it like one of your baby.
As I have promise that in my next post i will discuss about the saving of battery consumption of your laptop.
Some tricks and some common sense is all you need to do that.
Here are several ways that you can save energy
1. Darken your screen:
Our laptop screen is the most hungriest component of the system. It comsumes lots of power to give us clear and luminious view. If are travelling and there is no way to connect your laptop to power then I think its better to make the screen darker for long run.
2. Modify your power settings
W7(Window 7) has got lots of power saving option and its very clear. for eg it tells us to set the power plan.. Balance or power saver. It also says us clearly that the brighteness setting might reduce the battery life(if it is too bright).You can also go to the option of more power settings and change the plan accordingly.
If you have any doubt regading this then you can always click the help option for further more queries.
3.Switch off wi-fi.
wi-fi is the greatest power eater of the laptop.Even though you are not online it weaken the laptop's battery absorbing the power.I you are using the laptop outside from the wireless network then its more advisable to tourn off the wi-fi. This day in most of the laptops wi-fi are inbuilt. so you just need to see the indicator of the wi-fi and switch it off .
4.Switch off unwanted peripheral device:
Mouse,USB stick and the in-built webcam are the battery consumer or suck of the laptop.Eject you USB device whenever not necessary, try to work more with the inbuilt mouse and switch off the webcame when not in use. It will help you laptop to conserve more power.
5.Eject your disc drive:
Having in a moving or spinning disk in your disk drive can make your power saving less. Just eject out the un use disc from your drive.
6. Buy some computer hardware:
Normally computer comes with 6 cell battery but these days we can see 8 cell battery or even 12.It will increase your battery power and in the long run you will come to know that you are saving lots of power and you money didn't get waste.
7.Disable gadget: There are many gadgets that come in Window 7 like weather, Feed headline,slide show picture puzzle etc. Activating this features in your screen can also comsume some power and it also slow down the computer. I mean you can use some of the gadgets like the calander and clock.
In my next post I will write How to speed up laptops or computer.
The era wherein laptops are only considered as the inferior relatives of the desktop computers is long gone. If in the past, the laptop is only used for processing files, storing small amounts of data or doing simple tasks like viewing photos or doing calculations, now it is starkly different. Laptops are now as powerful as or even more powerful than desktop PC’s. But the fact that notebooks are portable makes it even more advantageous to invest on compared with its bulky counterpart. However, the only problem is that the laptop battery can only last for a few hours on its portability-mode. Sometimes, the abrupt shutting down of the notebook computer cause a lot of problems – data loss, software malfunction, or even startup problems.
That is why devoted laptop users should make sure that their batteries are always at its optimum level of performance. Which means that when the battery meter on your monitor says ‘1 hour left’, it means that way and it won’t shut down on you without warning. A replacement laptop battery can be the easiest alternative when this problem is encountered but after 5 battery replacements in a year, you will see that something needs to be done. Here are some simple tips to lengthen your laptop battery’s prime:
1. Overcharge the battery on its first use for up to 8 hours.
2. After the initial overcharging, make sure that you remove the laptop battery charger when the notification in your monitor tells you so.
3. Never expose your battery to dust, moisture or sudden shakes.
4. Purchase one or two spare laptop batteries.
5. Always use accessories that are approved by the brand of your notebook.
Following these instructions can make sure that your laptop battery life will lengthen considerably. Not only will it save you some money in the long run, it will ensure that your computer-use will be stress-free.
In my next issue i will write about how to increase the battery life of your laptop..till then happy reading
Samsung are getting ready to release the Samsung SHW-M100S, a new Android 2.1 phone with quite possibly the best screen of any phone ever made.
The phone itself has the usual array of great features – 5 megapixel camera, 720p HD recording, DivX playback, GPS, 800MHz CPU – everything you'd need in a high-end superphone really (I must stop calling them that!)
But by far the biggest attraction must be the screen.
See the pics after the jump to see why.
With most phone's screens, the LCD backlighting gets in the way of clarity, reducing contrast and causing blacks to render more as greys.
As any aficionado of HDTVs will tell you, a great picture comes (in part) from great contrast, which means very black blacks.
And that's exactly what the SHW-M100S gives you.
So now, as well as everything else you could ever want on a phone, you can also watch it on a screen that's better than the giant HDTV in your lounge!
Annoyingly, the SHW-M100S is rumoured to be sold only in South Korea, but with technology like that in its arsenal, it won't be long before we'll see other phones with screens this pure in other markets.
Though mobile phone have become a part and parcel of out life, its use is increasing study suggested that the mobile phone user in Junw 2009 through out the world is 4.3 billiion.
I’ve been wanting to do a Google Nexus S review since it first launched at the end of 2010, and now it’s just been reduced in price, it seems the perfect time to see what Samsung has done with Google’s 2nd generation “pure Android” phone.
The Google Nexus S is the first – and so far the only – phone to feature the very latest version (2.3) of Android, codenamed Gingerbread. This version brings with it some nifty new features that makes the whole Android experience the best yet, while the extra hardware features that Samsung has equipped the Nexus S with make it a genuinely exciting phone to own that will have all your mates asking you what it is and what it can do.
The Nexus S is filled with possiblities and endless options for the future, making it a phone that will continue to surprise you – and give you geek bragging rights – for years to come.
What are these surprises, though? Why should you buy the Nexus S when so many great new phones are about to come out, and what makes it such a unique proposition?
Well, let’s find out!
Google Nexus S overiew
In many ways, the Google Nexus S is a Samsung Galaxy S with a few extra features. That’s not a bad thing – the Galaxy S was the second best Android phone on the market throughout 2010 and only lost out to the HTC Desire HD because its camera had no flash. The Nexus S fixes that flaw instantly with the use of a very good LED flash – and then goes on and adds a tonne of new features that makes the Nexus S a truly unique smartphone.
For example, Samsung, the Nexus S’s manufacturer, has equipped the Nexus S with an intriguing curved screen that’s even better than that of the Galaxy S, as well as placing a Near Field Communication (NFC) chip inside that makes it almost unique amongst mobile phones.
So with a curved screen and a chip for contactless data transfer, the Nexus S really is starting to look like the phone of the future – but one that’s on sale now and already at a reduced price! And that’s before we talk about Android!
But more of that in a moment. In the meantime, let’s look at the highlights of the Nexus S.
What you’ll love about the Google Nexus S
For the most part, the Nexus S is an enhanced Samsung Galaxy S, so if I miss out a feature, read my Samsung Galaxy S review to find out what that phone has. If the Galaxy S has it, so too does the Nexus S, or something much much better!
The highlights of the Nexus S, then, include the following:
superb geek kudos as it’s only the second phone in history to be a ‘Pure Android’ phone officially commissioned and sanctioned by Google;
guaranteed to always be ahead of every other Android phone, as it will be the first device to get any new version of Android (and with so many different versions being released this year, that’s going to be a major plus – just ask Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 owners, who never got past version 2.1 before Sony Ericsson stopped releasing updates!)
the first phone in the world to get Google Android Gingerbread, letting you see what the new OS has to offer right now – months before your friends do;
unique curved screen that looks beautiful and has no equivalent on any other phone;
NFC chip for contactless payments built-in, letting you use the Nexus S as your mobile wallet;
two cameras let you take great photos with the 5 megapixel rear camera (complete with flash and auto-focus!) or make video calls with the front facing 1.3 megapixel camera;
precision motion-control sensors with unique three-axis gyroscope built-in;
take great quality videos at 720p HD at 30 frames per second;
store your entire music and video library onboard with its 16GB of memory built-in;
blistering preformance thanks to the Samsung 1GHz Hummingbird chip and the optimized and streamlined Android Gingerbread code (the benefit of running a pure Android phone means no delay caused by a custom user interface).
make free phone calls that the networks can’t stop using the Nexus S’s built-in SIP app (which works using VoIP, and is similar in operation to Skype);
turn the Nexus S into a mobile WiFi hotspot and use it to connect up to five other devices to the Internet.
the fastest Web browser of any mobile, complete with full Flash 10.1, HTML 5 and pinch-touch zooming
Throw in all the newness of Android Gingerbread and you’ve got yourself a smartphone that’s very different from any other on the market. From the unique hardware such as the curved screen, three-axis gyroscope and NFC chip, to the uniqueness of always having the very latest version of Android, every inch of the Nexus S shouts “early adoter”!
If Android means a lot to you, you have to buy the Nexus S – even more so now it’s price has just been reduced! You’ll always be at the bleeding edge of the Android curve, as Google pushes new versions of Android to Nexus phones first.
How the Nexus S will keep on getting better
The Nexus S really is a phone for the future. Android Gingerbread is already installed on it now – try finding it on any other phone and you’ll be sorely disappointed. So as soon as you take it out of the box, you’re using a phone with a mobile OS that’s more advanced than any other Android smartphone.
But it’ll stay more advanced as time goes on as the Nexus S will always get the latest version of Android before any other phone.
But that’s not all: the Nexus S is fitted with some very exotic kit that marks it out as a phone that’ll stay on the cutting edge even as the cutting edge is, er, still cutting!
Find out what Google’s up to with NFC
Take, for example, the NFC chip buried away inside the Nexus S. This lets you read RFID tags embedded in posters, or make payments contactlessly similar to the latest credit cards or Oyster cards on the London underground.
Nobody yet knows what Google’s plans are with NFC, but if you buy a Nexus S, one thing’s for sure – you’ll be the very first to find out!
Unique Three-Axis gyroscope
In over five years of writing about mobile phones, I never thought I’d mention the phrase “three axis gyroscope”, yet that’s exactly what the Nexus S has. This enables extremely-precise motion control, which can be used not just for super-responsive game controlling, but also in many location-based apps.
Combined with GPS and the built-in compass, the Nexus S knows exactly where it is on earth, which way up it is, which direction it’s pointing in, and where and in which direction it’s moving in. In other words, it knows where it is and where it’s heading even more accurately than you do!
What can you do with this new-found precision? Some rather neat Augmented Reality apps that are coming on the horizon are about to show you, as indeed will a new generation of games – all of which you’ll be able to make the most of with the Nexus S.
Do things the networks don’t want you to do
Smartphones have been able to use Skype for some time now, but you’d never know – most network operators will only sell smartphones with Skype disabled as they’re afraid it’ll eat up their juicy voice call revenue (Skype uses the data network rather than the voice network, and so if you have an unlimited data plan, your Skype calls are free!)
But the Nexus S doesn’t have this problem. The Nexus S features SIP, a technology that lets you use the internet to make voice calls using any of the dozens of SIP-based you can find on the Android Market. Because SIP is built into Android – and because Google wants the Nexus S to be a showcase for everything that Android can do – SIP is not disabled, and nor can it be by the networks.
The same applies to tethering. The Nexus S can be turned into a mobile hotspot, allowing up to five other devices (suchas laptops) to connect to it via WiFi, and then out onto the Internet. Again, many other smartphones will do this, but it’s another service that can be hobbled by the networks. But not on the Nexus S!
The Nexus S – not just for geeks!
At this stage, you might be thinking the Nexus S is a geek’s wet dream – and you’d be right! But it’s not purely for geeks. It’s actually one of the best Android phones on the market right now, and with its new price reduction, it’s an absolute bargain.
If you’re even a little bit geeky, the Nexus S is absolutely the best phone you can buy at the moment. Being able to say your phone is a Nexus gives you huge bragging rights, as Nexus phones are actually quite rare (simply because they’re not advertised like the more consumer-friendly phones).
It’s a Pure Android experience, it’s always on the cutting edge of Android, and it’s the phone that Google sees as the benchmark for Android that all other Android phones must strive to reach.
That’s not a bad thing to say about your phone, however geeky you are!
But even if you’re not a geek, the Nexus S is a superb phone in nearly every way. It’s supremely quick so you’ll never have to worry about waiting for a laggy user interface to catch up with you. Android Gingerbread has been redesigned to be much more intuitive, and has a nifty new virtual keyboard that makes typing much easier than it’s ever been on an Android phone.
It’s got all manner of nifty new user interface tweeks that make it really stand out from any other version of Android, and just makes the phone work so much better, while looking better at the same time.
And talking of looks, the phone looks absolutely stunning. It’s front cover is a single solid piece of curved glass, with the screen itself curving as well to give an almost unbelievable viewing angle. The screen uses Samsung’s legendary Super AMOLED technology, and so has super-deep blacks, superb contrast, and strong, vibrant colours.
Combined with Android Gingerbread, the result is a phone that looks almost exotic, as if it’s been sent direct from Google’s R&D lab and shouldn’t actually be seen out on the streets!
I guarantee you’ll get a reaction when you show your mates your new Nexus S.
All the features you’d expect from an Android phone
And don’t worry about the other features you’d expect form an Android phone – the Nexus S still comes equipped with every sensor you could want, including GPS compass, proximity and more, as well as cameras, video capture and playback, and huge memory.
It’s even got a large 1500mAh battery, which, combined with the very efficient Android Gingerbread code, gives an extremely healthy day and a half of battery life (although obviously less if you use battery-intensive features such as GPS).
In addition, the Nexus S takes great quality photos in daylight or darkness, captures great quality video at 720p, and plays back videos in a variety of different formats.
And if you have a video in a format that the Nexus S doesn’t support, just download a suitable app from the Android marketplace that does support your video’s format. You can even find the app from your desktop’s browser and push it directly to the phone, if you’d prefer.
Things you won’t like about the Nexus S
Despite all the great things the nexus S has going for it, it’s not perfect. Perhaps its biggest drawback is that it has no memory-card slot, so you can’t add extra storage. Fortunately it’s got 16GB on-board, so this is unlikely to be an issue, but it’s still annoying.
The back of the device is also disappointingly plastic. Again, this isn’t a huge issue, but compared to the marvellous solid slab of aluminium on handsets such as the Desire HD, it’s a bit of a let-down, particularly when compared to how stylish the front of the Nexus S is. On the plus side, it does make the Nexus S a lot lighter.
Finally, the camera’s only 5 megapixels. But hey, it’s a smartphone not a cameraphone, and 5 megapixels are plenty!
Video reviews of the Google Nexus S
OK, enough of my waffling! Check out the Nexus S in action for yourself with these video reviews.
Should you buy the Nexus S?
By now, you should have gotten the idea that I’m a big fan of the Nexus S. If I hadn’t have bought the Desire HD when it first came out, I would be holding a Nexus S in my hands right now – it’s that good!
If you’re an Android fan, you absolutely have to buy a Nexus S, particularly now it’s been reduced in price. Nothing shows your Android colours quite as loud as a Nexus phone, and the Nexus S is the best Android phone on the market today.
Will it be the best Android phone tomorrow? Of course not – the mobile industry moves too fast for that, and with MWC just a week away, there’s a whole world of new Android phones with fancier features jsut waiting to come out.
But here’s the best bit: because there are newer phones coming out, the Nexus S has been reduced in price, and so is at least £10 a month less than these new kids on the block. Better still, the Nexus S will always have the latest version of Android before even the newer phones, so you’ll always stay one step ahead.
And with the NFC chip and three-axis gyroscope aboard, Google has done everything it can to futureproof the Nexus S, ensuring that whatever Google’s up to with these new technologies, you’ll be able to join in right from the very start.
If you want to buy the Nexus S at its new reduced price, check out this brand new deal now.
Highly recommended!
