5. 2nd claim raised on 31st July

Hi folks,

Need some suggestions from long time S series users.

I have recently switched to S series phone especially S26. I am a primary work from home user with little exposure to heavy outside use.

If i am outside i keep my phone inside my pocket without any other objects.

Need some suggestion if i can use my phone caseless or should i consider a simple transparent case.

Sorry for any grammatical errors

Is there anyone who has received the money into their bank accounts? As of now i have lost all hopes.

We are in a simulation where we have to survive the first wave, that is the wave of CLAIM SUBMITTED AT PORTAL. Next comes wave 2....UNDER PROCESS wave. It will definitely test your patience to the extreme. One you see CLAIM APPROVED you'll think your suffering has come to an end.....suddenly EPFO plays Reverse UNO. Money will never reach your bank account.

Anyone who have received amount in their accounts today? I see lot of claims were approved but no credits happened yet

Hi all,

So as the title suggests, i have been using mid range phones till now and never experienced a flagship phone. After some research i have narrowed it down to either Pixel 10 or Galaxy S26. Budget not more than 85k. My primary usage will focus on these points.

1. Background app refresh

2. Still photography

3. Regular updates (monthly)

4. Stable network reception (use 5G a lot)

5. Light feel (tired of using bulky 6.5+ inch screen)

I am currently using galaxy A56. I am loving OneUI but at the same time love the vanilla android experience.

OneUI on my A56 causing aggressive ram management which in turn killing some background apps

At the same time i have heard pixel tensor processors are not good considering battery and network reception.

I do not play games at all so gaming experience doesn't matter at all.

Kindly help me decide which one to go for. Pixel 10 or S26. Also please let me know if I should wait for Pixel 11 as rumours suggest google to move to Mediatek Modem.

Anyone whose office is chennai south got their claim approved? Mine its still showing under process for the last 1 week

After nearly a decade of reliable service, my Airtel Airfiber connection started falling apart in April 2026. Speeds dropped to a painful 10 Mbps (down from 100 Mbps), and latency shot up to an unbelievable 2,015 ms — making everything from video calls to basic browsing nearly unusable.

Since fiber isn't available in my area, Airfiber has been my only option, and it had served me well since 2014. So this sudden degradation was frustrating to say the least.

The support runaround

I raised multiple tickets with Airtel, but every response was either generic or flat-out dismissive — "everything looks fine on our end." No resolution, no accountability.

The turning point: CPGRAMS

Out of options, I filed a complaint on the CPGRAMS portal (the Government of India's public grievance platform) on a Sunday. By Tuesday, I received a call from Airtel's escalation team. They acknowledged the issue and asked for 48 hours to investigate.

The fix

On Wednesday, another person from Airtel's broadband team called to say they had identified the root cause — the firmware on my outdoor unit was outdated and needed an update.

Once that update was pushed:

• Latency dropped from 2,015 ms → 20 ms
• Speeds jumped back to a full 100 Mbps (both upload and download)

The takeaway

If you've been going in circles with your ISP and getting nowhere, try filing a complaint on CPGRAMS (cpgrams.gov.in). It got me a response and a resolution within 72 hours after weeks of dead ends.

Sometimes you have to escalate to the right channel to get results. Hope this helps someone out there!
