I have just spent a whole week asking the Indian call centre for help. My broadband went off last Saturday. The help desk promised me someone would come and fix it on Monday, no one turned up. I was then promised a visit on Wednesday, no one turned up. I was then told it was a network fault. Eventually on Friday an engineer arrived, changed the modem and I was back on line in 10 minutes. The Indian call centre seems to generate more problems than it solves. Bring the service back to the UK. JG.

I think these prices can different, but it is always more expensive to courier it from the US.

Personally my limit is $600, but that is just me.

Unfortunately I didn’t manage to find what the cause was. I did remove my eWallet from Dropbox for a while, but decided to go back and try again. I have had a number of mismatches since where sometimes I get duplicate cards but it calls them “Card2″, but so far I don’t think I’ve lost any other cards within the eWallet.

I can only presume that something went wrong and both Mac and PC eWallets updated and tried to sync to Dropbox and the older one (not updated) had overwritten the newer one perhaps.

I have been a keen eWallet user on Windows for years, but have just got a Mac and am interested in seeing whether my wallet file will sync between my PC, Mac & iPhone using Dropbox.

Did you ever work out what went wrong here?

1. Check with speedtest.net that you're getting slow download or upload
2. Go to whatismyip.com and write down your IP address
3. Power off the Homehub (don’t disconnect) for about 5 mins (this will allow you to get a new IP address when you power it back on
4. Power on the Homehub after 5 mins and let it stabalise
5. Open up a dos/command prompt in Windows (Start > Run > cmd > ok) and type ping http://www.google.com and ensure you have an internet connection
6. Go to whatismyip.com and check you have a different email address
7. Go to speedtest.net and check your speed

If it’s a temporary issue and not a permanent failure then this might fix it for you.

The other way to get an engineer or to get someone to investigate in the UK and bypass the India Call Center is to go to Twitter and tweet to @btcare. They are in the UK and will try to help and can initiate line tests and will call you.

Hope this helps!

I don’t see how you are able to drop your phone so easily. I very rarely drop mine as it sticks to my hand very well. Also I find it very difficult to see how you press the volume rocker buttons when you press the power button.

And yes I do get the problem with the ambient light sensor in calls. Happens to me often when I hang up on people so I now don’t bother putting the phone on my face as the speaker is very loud anyway I am still able to hear the person on the other line very clearly.

One last thing if you do manage to drop your phone a lot don’t worry as these phones are UNBELIEVABLY strong. My brother likes to test it out and it didn’t break from dropping it off a two story roof straight onto concrete. He was going to try the third story but figured theirs no need as if it survives that then the phone will be fine . BTW the phone had one little scratch on the chrome bezel around the phone and not a mark anywhere else on it.

(1) 750 GB @ 5400 RPM
(2) 500 GB @ 7200 RPM
(3) 128 GB SSD [+$100]
(4) 256 GB SSD [+$500]
(5) 512 GB SSD [+$1,100]

I’ve done some reading and I’m stuck between options (1), (2), and (4). I have two questions:

1. Is the SSD worth the extra cost and reduced storage capacity?
2. Is the 7200 RPM worth the reduced storage capacity?

FYI on my home computing. The Laptop would be used for the Microsoft Office suite of programs, editing movies and photos through the iLife suite of programs, and viewing short films and you tube videos. Nothing like Final Cut nor Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator would be used.

Thanks in advance for your assistance,

I doubt this procedure will work because the OS is different, however I’m sure the community aren’t that far behind in trying to do something similar. Are you seeing similar slow downs on the Galaxy Tab? Do you have the 10″ or 7/8″ model?

Thanks
