Toshiba G810 Review

I have been using this phone for about 8 months now. Most of the review talks about the good and bad of the phone but i am just going to talk about the bad part as i am so unhappy with the peformance of the phone.

First the touch screen, yes when you test it out for 1 or 2 days it feels great but once you start using it the screen sucks big time, does not respond to your touch most of the time. Then comes the the phone itself, after using it for about 2 weeks i realise that the phone switch off by itself as and when it likes. I was trying everything i could download updates and stuff and the issue was never resolved. I decide to bring it to the Toshiba, gave it to them and explain what is the issue about and after 3 days they called me and told me that it was due to the battery as it was lose, they changed the battery, back cover and also updated the phone to the latest firmware which is no availbale on the internet. Picked it up and started using it again and within a week the problem came back, and until today nothing can be done to solve this issue.

Second, was the speed of the phone once you start using it for few days you can see the respond speed sucks, it takes for ever to load a screen up and when you answer a call it will just hang and you will not be able to do anything other then hitting the reset button which will take about a minute to get the phone back to normal. I tried everything uninstalled some application, reset the phone and load all data again send it to Toshiba and again nothing helped.

Finally the 3G settings, even if you are in area where 3G signal is good the phone keeps on jumping from 3G to 2G and back and forth. First i thought it was because of the service provider, called them up and they did all test and even came to my house to do some testing and finally it was concluded that it was because of the phone, when we testing with other phones which is running windows mobile 6.1 everything seem to be ok, the signal stays connect with 3G for hours and the moment i swap the phone back to 810 the 3G signal will last for few minutes before it jumps back to 2G then with in a minute it will jump back 3G.

After 8 month i gave up with the phone and changed to Iphone and todate no issue.

So if you are considering to buy a Toshoba G810, think again.

It will be good if you could leave your comments if you had any issue with the phone like me.

Mayan Calendar Corroborates Hindu prophecy

Golden Age to begin in 2012
From David Hedges

In the “Brahma-Vaivarta Purana”, Lord Krishna tells Ganga Devi that a Golden Age will come in the Kali Yuga – one of the four stages of development that the world goes through as part of the cycle of eras, as described in Hindu scriptures. Lord Krishna predicted that this Golden Age will start 5,000 years after the beginning of the Kali Yuga, and will last for 10,000 years.
Mayan Calendar Matches Hindu Calendar
It is interesting that this prediction of the emergence of a new world is prophesied to appear about the same time that the Mayans predicted it to come! The Mayan calendar began with the Fifth Great Cycle in 3114 BC and will end on 21 December 2012 AD. The Hindu Kali Yuga calendar began on 18 February 3102 B.C. There is only a difference of 12 years between the Hindu’s beginning of the Kali Yuga and the Mayan’s beginning of the Fifth Great Cycle.

Golden Age Could Begin in 2012
The ancient Hindus mainly used lunar calendars but also used solar calendars. If an average lunar year equals 354.36 days, then this would be about 5270 lunar years from the time when the Kali Yuga started until 21 Dec 2012. This is the same year that the Mayans predict rebirth of our planet. It is also about 5113 solar years of 365.24 days per year, and is day number 1,867,817 into the Kali Yuga. By either solar or lunar years, we are over 5,000 years into the Kali Yuga and it is time for Lord Krishna’s prophecy to happen according to the ancient Hindu scriptures. Lord Krishna’s Golden Age could easily begin in 2012!

Mayan Prophecy Matches Hindu Prophecy
It is amazing that both calendars began at about the same time over 5,000 years ago and both calendars predict a totally new world and/or golden age after about 5,000 years into their calendars! We are definitely on to something with these Mayan and Hindu 2012 predictions. Historically, this is an amazing fact since these two ancient cultures did not have any contact.

Mayan – 2012 – The World Will End?

Been reading about this topic for the last few days, thought i should write about it.  How many of you think that human kind can predict when will the world end? Keep on reading, it seem very interesting how Mayan Calendar ends on 21 December 2012.

The Maya civization was known for the only known fully developed written language of the pre-columbian. So why do people say the world will end on 21 December 2012?

So what does the calendar say? You see the calendar was design around 250 – 900 AD. They use many type of calendars and view time as a meshing of spiritual cycles. The problem starts when the base year for the Mayan Long Count starts at “0.0.0.0.0”. Each zero goes from 0 – 19 and each represent a tally of Mayan days.  Example as the first day of the calendar starts as 0.0.0.0.1 and the 10th days would show as 0.0.0.0.10 and when the 19th days is reached it goes up 1 level and it will change from 0.0.0.0.19 to 0.0.0.1.0. The level moves on which mean 0.0.1.0.0 will be about 1 year, 0.1.0.0.0 will be about 20 years and 1.0.0.0.0 will be about 400 years.

Now coming the end of the world, the Mayan calendar starts from 0.0.0.0.0 and it will end when it reach 13.0.0.0.0 which is 5126 years and the Mayan calendar started on August 11th 3114 BC, which mean the Mayan calendar starts on August 11th 3114 BC (0.0.0.0.0) and will end on 13.0.0.0.0 which is 21st December 2012. This can be seen in 2 ways, when the calendar ends at 13.0.0.0.0 it can just reset its self and start all over again from 0.0.0.0.0 but us being human something innocent like can be think as the most extreme possibilities for the end of human kind.

In short this is what the Mayan calendar means, do we have any such calculation or calendar in Hindu?
