    Gps Query

    I have used Endomondo around Moratuwa on an Android phone without data from the sim. It does take sometime to get a lock and you have to keep the phone outside till it gets the lock and then can be kept in the pocket.
  3. Can you check the original charger output? Some phones with micro usb charging port requires minimum of 500mA to charge and if less it would say insufficient power etc.
  4. Sorry for going OT, Fixing more than 3GB on Win Vista 32Bit will NOT crash the system. My machine came with 4GB ram on Win Vista 32Bit and has been running for 2 years with no crashes. Only it shows around 3.1GB for RAM.

    agree totally with what you say...
  11. another observation is that if you have cold air from the A/C blowing to the windscreen through the demist vents for quite some time, a mist can be formed on the outside of the windscreen. This could happen even when the vent settings are normal (blowing into the car through the top or/and lower vents) AND there is a small amount of air getting leaked out from the vents under the windscreen.
  12. maybe he just had an accident..
  13. I think its a JI number given the model of the car. The number plate screw seems to be positioned next to the J making it look like 3.

  21. Talking to the BBC, Mr Hill said the incident "had some bearing" on Emirates' decision not to renew its contract. "Basically the flights had been full for several months and we weren't able to accommodate that number of people - we were talking about 35 seats here. "And so we asked them if there was a possibility that only the president and his close relatives could travel, and we probably would have been able to accommodate them with three or four seats. "But obviously we weren't able or prepared to offload 35 previously booked customers, basically taking the whole of our premium cabin and 17 seats in economy, at that short notice.

  22. Colombo (PTI): Sri Lankan Airlines will come under government control from April, ending weeks of uncertainty than began with revoking of visa for the airways British Chief after President Mahinda Rajapaksa's entourage failed to get bookings to get back home from London last month. The British head of the Airlines Peter Hill got attached with the airline in 1998 after the Dubai-based Emirates Airlines took over its management. While the government owns 51 per cent share in the Sri Lankan Airlines, the Middle Eastern airline has 43.6 per cent stakes in it. Hill's work visa was revoked last month by the government here apparently over the national carrier's "refusal" to provide seats to Rajapakse and his delegation in an over-booked flight back home from London. The President was rushing bome last week from London for the crucial third reading of the budget in Parliament after watching the passing out of his son Yoshitha from the Royal Britannia Naval College in Dartmouth. But, the Sri Lankan Airlines reportedly refused to clear 35 seats for the government team on an over-booked flight from London via Maldives to Colombo on December 13. The President eventually returned to Colombo on December 14 on a charter flight with Mihin Air, a budget carrier wholly owned by the Sri Lankan government. However, Sri Lanka's Board of Investment (BOI) chief Dhammika Perera had said that Hill's work visa had been revoked in the "public interest" after the company refused to accede to several government requests. http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/holnus/003200801071323.htm http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/holnus/006200801071022.htm http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/News/I...how/2643443.cms http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/worl...icle3074462.ece ps: check the comments on the timesonline link
