    Poll: Porting to Jio

    This is a redmi issue. Works just fine in Oppo/Vivo phones.@Julian: Only Idea will give you a good retention plan for the prices you are paying. Would suggest you to move out ASAP to another operator.

    What happens when I port from one service provider, and do not activate with the new provider?

    You can activate it inside India within 60 days of port-in. After that the number will be disconnected and lost forever.

    Poll: Porting to Jio

    Port out and get something else. Idea Cellular, RCom, Aircel (if in south/east) and Tata Docomo (if west/central India) are good options providing good plans at good rates for postpaid users. Before anyone talks about coverage: Tata Docomo is good as long as you are in cities or outskirts of...

    Poll: Porting to Jio

    This is odd. I am on RCom-to-Jio/Jio-to-RCom calls nearly every day. I have not yet seen this mysterious 30-minute limit as I have spoken hours on end. But if users are reporting it, it must have been implemented....

    It's odd how 198 is the customer care number for both RJio and RCom....

    Poll: Porting to Jio

    Getting 6-12 Mbps all the time. 2-3 Mbps inside jungle (no kidding). Have never seen a network like this. Coverage is damn good but yes there are dead zones (Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat).

    Poll: Porting to Jio

    You mean their 4GFreedom350 Plan.... RCom cannot/will not undercut Jio before January 2017. They have a non-compete clause under NDA for the agreement of sharing of spectrum, network and operational expenditure for the 4G network. As RCom and Jio are sharing the operational expenditure, it...

    Graphic Cards Why does Palit have different SKUs for same card ?

    I wanted to ask: Why does Palit release several "versions" of the same card? For example, Palit's GeForce GTX 550 Ti and GTX 560 OC cards have three known SKUs, with different PCB and/or cooler designs. The thing is that if we read the review of some card and then we get a different PCB or...

    Graphic Cards ATI 48xx Thread

    Heh, the real battle is in the power these cards draw, and I think ATI is going to win hands down this generation on that one. They have a better process, smaller chip size, and enhanced PowerPlay. I think ATI might win in the performance segment while NVIDIA will still have the King's crown :P

    Help needed setting up IPMSG in Vista

    Well, I'm connected by cable internet through Exattnet (in Anushaktinagar). Its just a simple cable connecting to my NIC, no routers involved. We use a specific IP range over here to chat with people at IP messenger. In Windows XP this was no problem at all, I would just set the IP address...

    Graphic Cards 8800GT vs HD3870X2

    If used properly the HD 3870 X2 beats the 9800 GTX every day, and in every way :D But X2 drivers are not up to scratch yet, you might want to get an 8800 GTS 512 instead. Your pick. ;)

    Graphic Cards NVIDIA GT200 : GeForce 9900 GTX & 9900 GT In Q3

    Actually that was the intended plan, however, there were two reasons why NVIDIA had to rush out the GeForce 8800 GT and basically screw up their entire lineup: 1) They expected RV670 (Radeon HD 38xx) to be vastly inferior to the R600 (HD 2900). They found out fairly quickly that RV670 was...

    Graphic Cards 8800GT vs 9600GT

    The Zalman cooler? You mean the TurboForce edition or the stock-clocked one? Even the stock-clocked one is a great deal at that price due to the free NWN2 (if that is being offered) :P Though MSI is often very damn cheap (and the OCed 8800 GT I talked about in my previous post apparently has a...

    Graphic Cards Nvidia losing chipset market share

    The reasons for the loss on the AMD chipset market are clear, but on the Intel side, the minor problems with newer Intel processors, the problems with Intel over Intel wanting SLI for its chipsets as well as the fact that the nForce 780 chipsets pale in comparison to the newest enthusiast Intel...

    Graphic Cards 9600GT vs HD3870

    +1 for 3870 as its at least as good if not better than the 9600 GT in most benchmarks, and new drivers will bring some improvements as well, especially in Vista ;)

    Graphic Cards 8800GT vs 9600GT

    Actually, there were a few people in other forums who tried to find out how or why exactly the GeForce 9600 GT comes out so close to the 8800 GT and even performs on par with it in a few cases (and in still fewer cases, exceeds its performance). Their conclusions were as follows: - The GeForce...

    PC Peripherals Help with budget 5.1 speakers...

    No, you won't find any significant difference in audio quality if you buy an SB Live! 5.1 (in fact your quality may actually go down)......And in fact, most budget sound cards out there are worse than the SoundMAX and SBLive! 5.1 by a noticeable margin in terms of both sound quality and CPU...

    PC Peripherals Help with budget 5.1 speakers...

    Hey guys..........Thanks for all your help, I'll go with either the Creative P5800 or T6060 or the Artis. :) As for soundcard; I've been looking and a particular dealer claims to offer "an Audigy 2" for about 1.7K. Given that the Audigy 2 ZS is under 3K I am inclined to believe that the card is...

    SoundMAX 4 XL should mean the AD1985 audio chip, which is basically an AD1980 + some extra features......before HD audio came about the AD1985 was reportedly the best integrated audio solution available in terms of audio quality....:)
