Access Free Airtel GPRS using TeaShark Browser

TeaShark, a mobile browser like Opera Mini, allow you to access Airtel GPRS for FREE. Shockingly it has nothing to do with modifying any Airtel settings or any kind of hack.  I tested it personally throughout the week but I haven’t been charged a single penny.

Here is how I used this…

• Download TeaShark v. 312. Its free and being JAR file it can be installed on most handsets.


• Open it from your mobile and select AirTel Live as access point.


• That’s it! Open any site from TeaShark and you won’t be charged anything.

Note for the first time, when TeaShark starts, it may take more than one minute to initialize. Also this one time initialization may fail many times. 

Here are some famous sites’ mobile version...

• Gmail: m.gmail.com


• Orkut: m.orkut.com


• Facebook: m.facebook.com


• Twitter: m.twitter.com

The whole thing seems a fortunate coincidence for mobile users and unfortunate one for network operators. This trick cannot be termed illegal as you are not cracking any software or modifying any configuration. For the same reason, I think this will take longer to get rectified.

Please keep in mind that AirTel may charge you all of a sudden in future of this free ride. So please use it at your own risk!

It basically adds a set of status options as you can see in above image!

As highlighted you can choose Always Idle if you are too busy at work. Many users will think that you are not at desk or something similar and thus won’t bother you.

Also there is an exactly opposite option - Never Idle. In case you want to look always online no matter even if you forget to shut down your pc at night!

Google added Invisible mode to Gmail Chat And Gtalk

One of the most awaited feature Google Talk lovers has been waiting for is out. Just read on Google’s official Gmail blog that Gmail chat version of Google Talk will now have option to go invisible! Jonas Lindberg quoted,

With this feature, you can appear offline, and still send and receive messages. If you’re using AIM in Gmail, invisible mode also makes you appear signed out on the AIM network.

Many developers will find this interesting as they can chat with other fellow developers without any interruption now. 

Personally this is the feature I was waiting for. Hope to see it in Google Talk application soon

The Zip oF DeATh

this is a exploit of the compression algorithms to make a small zip that will extract into extream amounts

their are more ways and better ones than this one but i will only show how to make a simple 1k = 1m ratio

make a.txt file

open and type the null character (alt + 255)

press ctrl + a then ctrl + v a couple times to make some null bytes

if u have a hexeditor make the hex 00 for about 50 kilobytes

now make several copies of a.txt and name accordinly

open cmd.exe

type copy /b *.txt b.txt

now every copy is made into a super copy and repeat

once u have a nice empty big text file like 1gb

put it in a zip archive

because of the simple construction of the file

1gb of null bytes

the zip is only 1 mb in size and can really annoy freinds

for added fun hex edit the zip and u will see a bunch of hex 5555

just add some more and the file will expand amazingly

make sure to not open this after

You can always create your zip of death from the command line in linux

dd if=/dev/zero bs=1000 count=1000000 | gzip > test.gz

A well-equipped entry level handset, the IN 2222 has a sleek black form factor with a 1.5 inch CSNT display, sporting a resolution of 128 x 128 pixels and 65K colors. It has plenty of media functionality in terms of an audio player and an integrated FM radio, and photo and video caller tone support.

The In 2222 supports GPRS and comes with a few games and a flashlight feature as well. It offers all the basic functions like a calculator, calendar, to-do list, world clock, alarm etc. Aside from these it has a Blacklist function for blocking unwanted calls, as well as a 'Health' feature.
Nokia 2626 – Rs 2050
The 2626 is one of those ubiquitous handsets I was referring to earlier. It has a CSTN display that allows 65K colors at a resolution of 128 x 128 pixels. It's not a great-looking handset, to be honest. It’s a little pudgy, but it does have quite a few relevant features, considering its modest price range.

The 2626 has about 2MB of internal user memory. This GSM handset supports MP3 ringtones, but we’re not talking full tracks here. GPRS and WAP are supported, and you get a few games and an FM radio as well. It also supports JAVA MIDP 2.0. Other features include a calendar, calculator, currency converter, voice memo, and a built-in handsfree.

Samsung C170 – Rs 2200
The C170 is an extremely slim sleek handset with a depth of just 8.9mm. It has a 1.52 inch CSTN display with a 128 x128 pixel resolution and 65K colors. Aside from being a stylish entry-level handset, it offers some decent functions like GPRS (Class 10) and supports polyphonic ringtones. (Remember how popular those used to be at one time?)

 

Some other features Samsung has incorporated into the C170 include an integrated FM radio and a couple of games. This handset also has an organizer, calendar, currency converter, and a to-do list. The C170 has a built-in speaker for handsfree use and a voice recorder as well. The internal memory is just about 600KB.

Top Girly Mobiles review

Sony Ericsson S500
The S500 slider is a delicately designed handset. It has floral themes for seasons and times of day as well. As you can see form the image, the themes gracefully complement the handset’s design. The keypad is a bit small, which lead me to believe that a woman’s touch would be perfect for it. The S500 comes with a 2MP camera that records video, and a media player that reads MP3 and AAC+ file formats. It uses M2 cards for external memory.

 

he handset supports GPRS/EDGE, email and Bluetooth with an A2DP profile. The lighting on the exterior is very classy yet refreshing, and that’s one of the reasons I’ve included this handset. 

Nokia 7070 Prism
I’ve often regarded Nokia’s Prism series as fashion mobiles and that’s precisely what they’re marketed as. Their diamond-like cuts, the criss-cross pattern of the keypad, and smooth black exteriors with a blue, pink or green finish, give them an appealing look. The latest Prism handset is called the 7070 and is's taken a slight deviation from the original candybar design to a flip/clamshell phone, with a similar diamond like finish.

This handset, although stylish, is quite limited in terms of features. Among the exclusions are a camera and Bluetooth. The oddest thing is that even though it supports GPRS/EDGE it has no support for external memory and doesn’t even have a media player. Needless to say, this is just a handset you’d want for making and taking calls and messages, it’s an entry-level glamour phone and nothing more.

Fly SX100
One of the primary reasons for including this handset is that my girlfriend and mother both happened to like the design, but for some reason my dad and my best friend didn’t think it manly enough for their consideration. I have to admit I felt the same, but on the one hand this is a neatly designed handset; very slim and sleek.

It has a 2MP camera, microSD card support for external memory, media player, FM radio, and a hot swap slot for the SIM card. It supports WAP/GPRS for net connectivity and proprietary USB for PC connectivity. The SX100 comes with Stereo Bluetooth, a couple of games, and plenty of other relevant features. It’s feature-rich all right, but the design imparts a distinctly feminine feel to it.

MOTOPEBL U9
The U9 is a very elegant-looking oval-shaped clamshell handset, hence the name PEBL. Its glossy exterior and smooth edges give it a sexy look and feel. It has an exterior OLED display with touch-sensitive keys for audio control while you’re listening to music. The keypad is spaced out evenly for comfort.

The U9 is feature-rich, and comes with Stereo Bluetooth, USB v2.0, and GPRS/EDGE. It has a media player and a 2MP camera, and supports external memory expansion via microSD cards. I haven’t had the opportunity to review the handset, but I did get a chance to play with it at events, so I can say this is a quite a chick magnet. But not in the conventional sense; it attracts women as users.

LG KF510
The KF510 slider is quite a chic phone. It’s got a very slim and sleek finish, and a very smooth slide. The intuitive touch navigation system is quite jazzy, and not in a macho way. The colors make the handset rather 'shimmery', and all these words should pretty much give you a clue why I’ve included it.

The KF510 comes equipped with a 3MP auto focus camera with image stabilization technology. It has a media player and an integrated FM radio. Other features include GPRS/EDGE, USB v2.0, and Bluetooth with an A2DP profile. The handset uses microSD cards for external memory. It’s a neatly designed handset on the whole, with plenty of features.
This is just the first installment in a large list of handsets in this category, so if there are any more you guys or gals would like me to include, please leave a comment or mail me (with images, if you can). So ladies, I hope this feature helps you decide on a suitable handset. Of course, if you happen to be female and yet like macho-looking handsets, nothing stops you from looking at buying one of those. You have the best of both worlds!
