Apps Don't work after upgrading to IOS 12.1.2

If you are having an iphone , then you might have received an update 4 days back to update your IOS version to 12.1.2 with an information that it has some bug fixes for Iphone X and others. So, even if you are not having Iphone X, you might have updated the version (just like me) to avoid the inconvenience of seeing the popup every time you see the phone ! But the real issue starts after that you don't realize that it is because of the incompatibility between your IOS version and network carrier version ! Internet would be working i.e you would be able to see facebook, google , youtube etc. But most of the apps don't work. i.e paytm, phonepe, amazon, flipcart etc.

Amazon apps not working 

A server with specified host name could not be found error in paytm

 Amazingly Googlepay works and that was the only one working till i found a fix for this today after multiple attempts to reach out to customer care of network provider (For me it was Jio). 

So, the inconvenience which started with one app not working in mobile data extended to multiple apps and finally got resolved as i write below

how to Fix: 

1. Switch off the Mobile Data and connect to a wifi

> In case you don't have a wifi, you can ask your friend /colleague to switch on mobile hotspot for a minute and connect to that as the below fix consumes just few KB/or an MB

2. Go to Settings > General > 

See the version of  carrier. 

Compatible version of Network version is 35.1 for IOS version 12.1.2. 

In case it is showing 35.0 or less, then that is the root cause of the issue. 

3. Just click on Carrier version and you get a popup that carrier setting has been updated automatically !

After this, if you open your apps , they would work as they used to work before . 

In case they are not working still, follow next steps

4. Reset Network Statistics of your phone by 

Settings > General > Reset > (Scroll all the way down in General till you find the shutdown option . You would see Reset option above it) > Reset Network Settings. 

It would reset all your network settings and restart the phone. 

Resetting the network settings does not cause any harm or does not delete any of the personal data in the phone anyway. So, you can do this safely.

Ending Note:

Not sure on why the IOS or the Network provider(JIO) don't take care to update the network carrier version automatically when the IOS is updated and want us to manually click on that version to update it !

Anyhow, hopefully above fix might help you. 

Thanks for reading and have a nice day :-) 

Tricks for those who use mobile Internet for PC

Hello Friends,
I usually hear many friends complaining about mobile internet being deadly slow. Hello my dear friend, please don't compare mobile internet with Broad Band. But if i say it is possible to download movies, possible to group Chat in facebook using mobile internet, do u believe it ? I wil try to cover some of such tricks in this post.

1) Slow Speed of Connection

Although the speed of mobile internet can't be compared with that of broadband, it will be sufficient for general browsing, email , and believe me.. Even for taking online Exam !!!
But the fact is you have to choose proper service provider.

Generally Tata Docomo Internet is faster compared to all other GPRS 2G Internet providers as i have seen. U wil get around 25-30 Kbps max speed. It is the cheapest Internet plan you can get for a month. i.e 48 Rs per/month for 1 GB. But sometimes it wil get limited to 21 days. But 21 days is more than sufficient. Next plan is 2.5 GB/month @63 Rs. next is 4GB/month @95 Rs.There is 8GB plan also. but 4GB itself is more than enough :-) :-)

 But you may not get Docomo Network in all areas. Next in speed is Vodafone. Plan is also good in Docomo. You wil get 6 GB/month @98Rs. If you are in any village or any other area where you won't get above two networks, then go for BSNL.. I am not joking. 3rd in 2G speed is BSNL itself. Currently I am using BSNL GPRS internet itself :-) !! I used that itself to develop this blog :-)

I don't want to talk about other 2G GPRS providers Airtel, Aircel, Idea, Reliance. First thing is speed is slow and some hidden charges like only free for browsing, cost for downloading etc. Sometimes screen gets struck in some of those. Ofcourse you are lucky enough, You can get good service from those also .. but the chances are very rare & may be in only few areas. I saw many of my friends quitting those. So Told..   


2)Download Problem with mobile Internet

Another problem with mobile internet is that downloading. it will be around 10-15 kbps. Generally it will be sufficient to download e-mail attachment, attach files to email and send.. but not sufficient to download large PDFs, large Files, videos/Audios of larger size.  as the download speed is slow it will take long time. So connection will be timed out and you can't resume the download !!!!
What I am trying to say is that suppose you are downloading a PDF of size 17MB .it took around 10 or 15 minutes to download around 15 MB. Then you wil get error that connection is lost!!! alas.. what you downloaded is of no use now.. everthing is waste ..

So go for one of the Downloading softwares like Internet Download Manager(IDM). It has built in ad ons for You Tube Videos download etc. Installation is simple and no configuration as such.. Once u click download, that downloading task will be transferred to IDM. You can rest assured that downloading will be completed :-) !!!

I am not joking again..Many of the sites support resume capability. So u can pause your downloading task at any time and resume it later .. For any reasons like your mobile running out of battery or PC shutting down suddenly.. Downloading task will be paused automatically.:-) Cool na? It has also scheduling tasks like bit torrents, bit comets etc

3)Download Movies using Mobile Net
Sorry. I can't post that link and about Cracks in IDM here as it will be supporting piracy
These are some of the things I & my friend Shashi thought to post for the help of friends who are using mobile Internet for connecting to the PC and ask questions regarding that..

You and I must be thankful for my friend shashi who always shares info like this with me :-)
