Airtel missed call alert query

Posted: 23 Feb 2014 02:42 AM PST

My phone was switched off and i got a missed call alert message as usual. But to my surprise the person who called me also received a message that "This number is available for call now".

My question is that how to disable this service?
(i dont want other person to receive a message about when i switched on my phone).

p.s. i dont want to disable missed call alert though.

Pol Khol Abhiyan

Posted: 23 Feb 2014 02:39 AM PST

"If Guinness World Book of Records had a category for lies, Arvind Kejriwal would win without any competition," Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee President Arvinder Singh Lovely said while launching a 'Pol Khol Abhiyan' against the ex-Delhi CM.
"Arvind Kejriwal has abandoned people at the mercy of Gods and bureaucrats. He is a runaway and we are launching a 'Pol Khol Abhiyan' against him to expose the lies he had been telling in the name of common man's welfare," Lovely added.
Lovely termed the Kejriwal-led 49-day AAP government as a "government of promises and no performances" and its sudden departure as an "act of betrayal" to the people.

I hope people of Delhi saw Arvinder Singh Lovely in Delhi Assembly on the day AK resigned and make their decision when elections are held next there.

AK Antony can predict future: No possibility of military coup ever

Posted: 23 Feb 2014 02:26 AM PST

AK Antony defends Army, says no possibility of military coup ever | Latest News & Updates at DNAIndia.com
 

"In no circumstances there will be a military coup in India. Since the last seven years I have been associated with the Indian defence forces-- those in the Army, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard with not only with those on top but the ordinary jawans and personnel on the border region also.
"I can say one thing with conviction. Indian military is a responsible force. While the military takes decisions on operations, it obeys all policy matters taken by the civilian government. There is no need for any concern," Antony told reporters here on the sidelines of a Coast Guard Investiture ceremony here.
The so called movement of army was a "routine training exercise" only. It is a 'closed chapter", he said.


Indian military is a responsible force.

True words. If the f**ks in the parliament cross a limit, I sincerely hope, the army would do the right thing and kick their asses.

Apple iPhone 4 now on sale in India for Rs. 23000 (MRP)

Amazon.in: apple iphone 4

Apple is set to relaunch the 8GB version of the iPhone 4 in the Indian market after losing sales and market share in the middle segment to rival Samsung in the last quarter after pulling out the model as part of a global strategy.
The US company, pressing hard to raise its market share in India, will price the device at around 15,000 through buyback and EMI schemes compared with its old retail price of Rs 26,500, Apple's four top trade partners in India said requesting anonymity due to confidentiality clauses. The model launched three years ago has been succeeded by the 4S, 5, 5c and 5s, the last of which starts at Rs 53,500.

Why did the trailers get taken down? Whether Warner Bros. did this on purpose is unknown. Either way, it is a brilliant marketing ploy. Fans want to see the Big G in a serious American movie. That campy 1998 version starring Ferris Bueller won't cut it.
Director Gareth Edwards has promised Godzilla will be what fans are craving. Like Christopher Nolan did with the Dark Knight trilogy.
If you dig hard enough, there might be a trailer still up. What was there, however, featured destruction — busted trains, debris everywhere, holes in buildings. The majority of the trailer's audio is J. Robert Oppenheimer's speech about the creation of the atomic bomb with this part standing out: "Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds."
Of course during this time we see monster arms and legs and finally, Godzilla shouts his signature roar at the end.
A second trailer shows soldiers parachuting out of a plane to fight back against the mythical beast. Again, this trailer is serious stuff. You'll have to dig to find this one as well.

When will BSNL launch new broadband plans?

Posted: 23 Feb 2014 01:10 AM PST

hi Guys,

 

Its frustrating that BSNL is yet to launch truly unlimited 1/2/4 Mbps plans for < 1500Rs. Its perpetually offering 512Kbps speeds from last 4-5 years. Not only that, they are not even offering speed boost say after 6pm like MTNL does. Its not only about downloading torrents. Even if i want to watch Youtube files, I am not able to with 512kbps. They should start offering speed boost to 2/4Mbps at 6pm to 8am slot if offering the same at daytime is not possible. What can we do in this situation ? Can we all raise a CRM ticket at selfcare portal to demand this ?

 

Sanket.

MTNL Broadband disconnection

Posted: 23 Feb 2014 12:48 AM PST

Hi all,

For at least the past eight months I've had increasing problems with my MTNL line and Triband connection in Bandra W, Mumbai. Persistent problems include crackly landline, slow internet speed and frequent disconnection (ADSL light flashes then internet reconnects after a few minutes). Using the 198 complaint service is useless - the problem never get fixed yet their system gets updated as issue resolved despite me telling the operator that calls "No, not fixed!". Last week, an MTNL technician came (for the n'th time) to fix my crackly landline. He cut the external wire (without informing me beforehand - I was on the net!); after some time my internet connection disconnected and would not reconnect: first, the PPPoE light would not come on, then the ADSL light would not come on. Occasionally, all modem lights would come on but internet pages would not open.

After months of reporting complaints about these persistent problems, visiting the exchange and emailing the DGM (who never responded) I eventually managed to get a visit from FOUR MTNL engineers. They insisted that the line was fine and that the problem was with my modem (I had bought a new landline months before because I was told THAT was the problem), so I replaced my modem (from a D-Link GLB-502T to a DSL 2520U). The first day the engineers came, they  spent a few hours apparently checking and "fixing the line". Then they messed around with my modem, made a few phone calls, prodded around on my laptop and eventually told me that the line is working perfectly from Prabhadevi to Bandra Reclamation, to my area and that, 100% the problem is with my modem. I replaced this with the DSL 2520 and configured it the same day. Still no connection (laptop connection to WiFi fine but no connection to internet). I called D-Link and we went through all the diagnostics but could still not establish a connection. The D-Link support guy concluded that the problem was either my MTNL username or password, or a (dreaded) line problem. I managed to get one of the MTNL engineers back the next afternoon. After an hour of messing around and more phone calls, he got it connected. He said that my username and password had (somehow?) been changed and was now reset. He left with the thing working. But...

It didn't take long before the modem disconnected then reconnected! This continues to date. It seems to be worse in the morning and early evening (but can happen any time), during which it can disconnect on average every 5-10 minutes over 2-3 hours. Really frustrating as I still don't know what is causing it. If I had the time, I'd pay the dgm a personal visit - I don't know what else to do. Here's are my current ISP stats (while gathering them, my internet connection disconnected and reconnected 4 times in 5 minutes!!!!):

                                   Downstream           Upstream
Rate                             2047kbps             1021kbps
SNR Margin:                    28.2                       6.6
Attenuation                      34.2                      21.4
Output power                  17.2                      10.2

Superframes
RS correctable errors       36                      457
RS uncorrectable errors    0                       159

If anyone could interpret these data for me, give me any ideas about possible causes of these disconnections and potential solutions, I'd be really grateful. Could there be an interference problem that might be solved using an ADSL filter? Can you but them here? How does one effectively deal with the awful customer service given by such organizations?

Thanks very much.

Spotlight: Why X-Files Creator Chris Carter Returned From Sabbatical for Amazon's New Show The After ‹ Studio System News
 

A lot has changed since Chris Carter created his megahit The X-Files. New platforms, riskier material, binge-watching, and live Tweeting have changed the television landscape forever.
After taking nearly a decade to regroup and recharge, Carter is back with his Amazon pilot The After, a sci-fi drama about eight strangers, thrown together by mysterious forces, who must help each other survive in a world that is both unfamiliar and unforgiving.
Carter hasn't been sitting idle all this time—he directed The X-Files: I Want To Believe, and appeared at Comic-Con with stars Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny for a 20th anniversary X-Files reunion.

Windows Phone 8.1

Posted: 22 Feb 2014 10:57 PM PST

http://www.engadget.com/2013/06/08/windows-phone-notifications/

You know how it goes, you buy a phone on eBay, and it comes with a developer / pre-release version of a major mobile OS. Well, if these images are to be believed, that's at least what happened to one bargain-hunting Windows Phone fan. The screenshots -- said to be taken from a Nokia 920 -- show Windows Phone 8, but with a few new tweaks and features. Most notable, will likely be the notifications, but other tidbits include App list ordering based on frequency of use, week view in the calendar and the option to kill apps from the multitask screen. The phone reports a build number of: 12084.WPMAIN(wpbldlab).20130509-1407 leading some to infer that this version could have been compiled sometime in May. A tease of something to come? As always, hard to tell, but expect the price of second-hand 920s to bump up a little, for the next few weeks at least.

TataSky 7.1 Dolby Digital Plus, how to get

Posted: 22 Feb 2014 03:21 PM PST

For those who want to enjoy 7.1 Dolby Digital Plus or Dolby Digital 5.1 sound with tata sky +hd, plz do the following
Buy an AVR/DAC with Dolby Digital + decoder and a set of 7.1 speakers connect them to Tatasky +hd Box with HDMI cable only (use Coaxial and optical for upto 5.1ch) go to organizer-> User Settings->audio settings set Hdmi to Dolby Digital(if Avr is connected through HDMI) or Spdif to Dolby Digital(If AVR is connected with coaxial or optical). by this your 7.1 system(HDMI connection) has been setup but u will still get 5.1 sound because, not all contents are in 7.1 sound, so choose a movie which as per internet information says that has DD+ 7.1 sound like RAOne. 2nd and most imp thing the box supports 7.1 but the firmware in +hd box is still old and supports only Dolby Digital. to get Dolby Digital plus(7.1) the STB firmware has to be upgraded. I have already mailed tata to do that and I request all of u to plz ask tata sky to upgrade the firmware of STB to support Dolby Digital Plus along with Dolby Digital. Once they upgrade it, you will see the option of DD+ in Audio Settings along with DD and PCM. set it to DD+ to get 7.1 sound when a 7.1 content is shown.
