Review Google Tez App: How to Use and Early Takeaways | Google Money App | Tez App Google Inc.

Google Tez App: How to Use And Create Account

Download Google Tez App LInk Click Here = https://g.co/tez/P78Jm

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Google Account is mandatory while setting up Tez
  • Cash Mode can be used to transfer money without entering recipient detail
  • Google is currently incentivising referrals and transfers on the app

Google Tez, the Internet search giant's first UPI-enabled digital payments app was launched in India this week. The app is aimed at catering to an audience looking for digital payment solutions. Currently, if you need a UPI app, you can choose between popular apps like Paytm, PhonePe, the NPCI's BHIM app, and a range of UPI apps from different banks in the country. With so many already available in the market, should you shift to the Google Tez app? Here's a breakdown of the Google Tez app, from what it can to do, to how to use it, and our take on its capabilities.

The Google Tez app is is a medium to facilitate bank transactions between the sender and the receiver. It isn't a digital wallet service like Paytm, but is instead like other UPI apps, such as PhonePe. One of the interesting new features from the tech giant is "Cash Mode" which can be used to send money without details of the recipient. Typically, without the other person's ID, or phone number, you have to scan their QR code, so this is a simple and easy to use feature that could be used in place or QR codes.

On Android, the Google Tez app's download size is pretty low at 8MB, but it is still large compared to PhonePe (4.26MB) and BHIM (2.99MB). The app expands to over 20MB on the phone after installation, a size that shouldn't cause much of an issue. Pretty reasonable. On iOS, it's significantly bigger, with a download size up to 54.6MB. When setting up the app, users are shown a language selection first and you can choose between local languages like Hindi, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Marathi, Tamil, and Telugu among others. Post the language selection, it asks you for your mobile number that is paired with your bank account - you are then asked to provide permissions. We also found that the Tez app links this to the Google account signed into the phone, on both Android as well as iOS. You do have the option to link a different account, but a Google account is mandatory for the app to work.


Once you enter the number, and are verified by an SMS OTP, you are given the option to set up a Google PIN or use the current screen lock method on the phone. You are then asked to select your bank from a list to link it for UPI transactions. If you haven't set up UPI for that bank account previously, the Google Tez app will guide you to get it done. On the other hand if you have enabled UPI on the account, it will ask for the existing UPI PIN - which can also be reset via OTP, in case you've forgotten it. Tez then creates a VPA using the name in your email ID. While most other apps give you the option to choose the VPA, Tez does not have the option. The VPA created for you is based on the partnerships Google has at the time of launch (Axis Bank, HFDC, ICICI, and SBI). For instance, using a Kotak Mahindra account we were assigned a "@okaxis" VPA, but pairing it with an ICICI account resulted in an "okicici" VPA. When trying out the app, we did face difficulties when adding the bank account in Tez, though a couple of tries seemed to solve the issue. After these steps are complete, you're good to go.


The first screen when the Google Tez loads up is pretty basic, has offers limited functionality when compared to PhonePe and BHIM. PhonePe gives you additional options like paying your utility bills through the app, while BHIM has simpler Send, Request, and Scan & Pay options - the last being for QR codes, in case you don't want to share your ID with the other person. Making payments using the Google Tez app is easy, as it needs just a tap to select the recipient. The app also lists other Tez users from your phonebook for a faster process. Apart from Tez users, you can also add recipients using their bank account numbers and IFSC codes to transfer money, or send money via a UPI ID, QR code, or phone number. In case a contact has already been created, clicking on it will open the transaction log with that contact, and you can easily pay or request money using this feature. We tried transacting using the app and it worked without a hitch, though there were a few hiccups soon after launch on Monday - something Google explained to us was due to unprecedented surge in interest.

Swiping down on the first screen in the Google Tez app will give you access to "Cash Mode", which lets you transfer money without having the recipient's phone number or needing to share your own - useful in the case of transactions at a shop or another business. For this, the user transmits audio using Google's Audio QR (AQR) technology to identify the recipients phone near you. We tried this feature and it worked as advertised even in a noisy environment. But we must say that it took longer than expected.

To incentivise Tez app, Google is offering users Rs. 51 for referring new users to use the app. After the referred individual makes their first payment, both users will get the amounts credited to their bank accounts. Apart from this, using Tez to transfer money (Rs. 50 and above) awards both the sender and the recipient Google Tez Scratch Cards, with one scratch card per week for the sender-recipient pair. Scratch card gives user the chance to earn up to Rs. 1,000, which is transferred back to the respective bank account. We received Rs. 69 for a Rs. 100 transaction which was instantly credited to the bank account. You can earn a maximum of 10 rewards per week, up to a total of Rs. 9,000 per financial year. There are two types of Google Tez Scratch Cards. The blue ones are awarded to both sender and recipient, while one red 'Lucky Sunday's card is awarded to the sender once per week. This red Google Tez Scratch Card is locked until each Sunday, and users will be able to scratch it for a chance to win up to Rs. 1 lakh - as per Google.

After the initial hiccups the Google Tez app seems to be working reliably. The app works as expected and the Cash Mode feature does look promising. However in comparison, the PhonePe app looks more useful as it lets you pay your utility bills and other stuff. But if basic money transfer is what you need, the BHIM app still works just fine.

6 Paise per Minute Calling Charge TRAI Slashes | NDTV Gadgets


TRAI Slashes Call Termination Charge to 6 Paise per Minute

HIGHLIGHTS

  • The new call termination charge will be applicable from October 1
  • It will be completely eliminated from January 1, 2020
  • Reliance Jio was in favour of the move; incumbent telcos against it

In a move that may result in lower call charges, telecom regulator TRAI on Tuesday slashed the rate paid by an operator for termination of mobile call on a rival network to 6 paise a minute, from the current 14 paise.

TRAI said the new call termination charge will be applicable from October 1, 2017, and will be completely eliminated from January 1, 2020.

The cut in the charge runs contrary to the demands made by established operators, including Bharti Airtel, which wanted the termination rate to be raised and benchmarked against the actual cost.

The latest entrant Reliance Jio, on the other hand, had been seeking to waive off the charge, saying it will benefit consumers.

"On the basis of comments received from stakeholders, in writing or during the open house discussion or during the workshop, the Authority has prescribed revised domestic mobile termination charges through these regulations," TRAI said in a statement.

Ram Rahim Rape Case 2017 'He Is PM Of India, Not BJP,' Says Furious High Court After Haryana Riots


'He Is PM Of India, Not BJP,' Says Furious High Court After Haryana Riots
The Punjab and Haryana High Court, slamming the Manohar Khattar government over Dera violence, said: "You surrendered to the situation."


HIGHLIGHTS


  1. Court pulled Haryana government over violence after Ram Rahim verdict
  2. "You let the situation escalate," court said; 31 dead, 250 in violence
  3. Chief Minister Khattar has acknowledged that there were gaps


CHANDIGARH: Prime Minister Narendra Modi was not spared as a furious court today reprimanded Haryana and the central governments over the deadly rioting by self-styled godman Gurmeet Ram Rahim's followers after his conviction for rape. "He is the Prime Minister of not the BJP but of India," said the Punjab and Haryana High Court.

The court was responding to the centre's lawyer saying that yesterday's violence was a matter of the state. "Is Haryana not a part of India? Why are Punjab and Haryana treated like step children?" the court questioned.

Earlier, the ML Khattar government in Haryana confronted sharp words as the court said: "You let a city like Panchkula burn for political motives."

After Ram Rahim's conviction, thousands of his supporters massed near a court in Panchkula went berserk, burning cars, damaging property and targeting residents. The violence spread to other towns in Haryana and parts of Punjab.


"You let the situation escalate. You surrendered to the situation," said court, admonishing the state government over a Panchkula police officer being sacked this morning. "You are trying to crucify a small DCP of Panchkula what about those political masters who have been giving wrong directions?" the judges said to the Haryana government.

Nearly three hours of arson and vandalism left Panchkula, always seen as a peaceful second option to adjoining Chandigarh, badly scarred.


The Haryana government has been criticised for allowing at least 1.5 lakh followers of Dera Sacha Sauda, the sect headed by Ram Rahim, to gather at Panchkula for the verdict, despite a ban on large gatherings.

The court also asked how many cars were allowed into Panchkula yesterday afternoon when Ram Rahim arrived from Sirsa - the Dera headquarters - in a large convoy for the court verdict.

Chief Minister ML Khattar had acknowledged yesterday that there were lapses. The "lapses have been identified and we are taking appropriate steps," he said last night, adding: "This should not have happened."

But in another statement, he also appeared to shield Ram Rahim's followers as he said criminals had infiltrated the crowd of Dera Sacha Sauda devotees.

The comments were not missed by the court, which said: "Your Chief Minister said miscreants got mixed up with Dera people, giving the impression that they didn't do anything, you're still supporting them, you are the ones who made this happen."

JioPhone India Ka Smart Phone Booking 24 August 2017 On 5:30pm | Vistit WWW.JIO.COM | Jiophone Delivery Date


JioPhone Handset Booking

Visit WWW.JIO.COM

JioPhone Pre-booking can be done against an amount of Rs. 500, which will be adjusted against the fully refundable, one-time, security deposit at the time of delivery.

Mumbai : Reliance Industries is bracing for an initial demand supply mismatch, senior executives at the company with knowledge of the matter said, as it starts pre-booking of its much-anticipated 4G feature phone from Thursday evening, with an initial deposit of Rs 500 apiece.

The Mukesh Ambani-owned company is training hundreds of sales people, its own and those from largeformat retail chains such as The Mobile Store and Sangeetha Mobiles, for educating consumers on booking the JioPhone.

“Our sales people will begin taking prebookings of the JioPhone for Rs 500 and will begin giving the phones when they arrive in September for an additional Rs 1,000,” said Subhash Chandra, the managing director of Sangeetha Mobiles.

Reliance Industries plans to gradually ramp up supply and aims to eventually have 5 million of the JioPhone available on retail channels every week. The mass market 4G phone being offered effectively free — the company takes a three year, interest-free refundable deposit of Rs 1,500 — is key to new telecom operator Reliance Jio's bid to quickly scale up its nearly 125 million user base by targeting the 500 million feature phone users.

Jio has been messaging its customers about the JioPhone and how to do the pre-booking. Retail chains on their own have also begun informing customers about the availability of the device, said another executive aware of the details of the plans.

The phone will be distributed on a first-come-first-served basis through Jio retailers, multi-brand device retailers and the network of Reliance Digital stores.

According to Reliance Digital store executives, if the JioPhone is pre-booked through the Reliance Industries retail unit, it should be collected from the specific Reliance store whose code would be SMSed to the customer.

Some retailers said Reliance was ensuring that the initial stock would go its own Reliance Digital stores to attract footfalls and consumer interest and that other retailers would get stock later on.

Retailers will have to upgrade their Jio point-of-sale machines with a new software which will support issuing of the pre-booking vouchers and payment through BHIM, Jio Money, Paytm and net banking. Each retailer would be able to issue only 40 vouchers in the first lot. The phones will be imported initially, but the company plans to make them in India by the year-end. Reliance Jio didn't respond to emailed queries.

भारत में यूके ब्राउज़र प्रतिबंध | UC Browser Reportedly Under Government Scanner for Sending Data to China

Uc Browser Ban in India | भारत में यूके ब्राउज़र प्रतिबंध


HIGHLIGHTS


  • The government is probing UC Browser for sending user data out of India
  • UC Browser is owned by Chinese giant Alibaba
  • It is the most used mobile browser in India


UC Browser, the most popular mobile browser in India, is reportedly being probed by the government for sending data from Indian users out of the country. According to Business Standard, "a government lab in Hyderabad is probing how Alibaba-owned UC Browser can send user details and location data to a remote server".

Another report by ICTFlash identifies this lab as Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC), an R&D organisation for the Department of Electronics and Information Technology, under the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, and adds that if the Alibaba-owned browser is found guilty, it could be banned, though it isn't clear at this stage if a ban is indeed on the table.

Gadgets 360 has reached out to both UC Browser and C-DAC for comment on this matter, and we will update this report when either organisation responds.

According to the research firm StatCounter, UC Browser is the most popular mobile browser in India, accounting for nearly a 50 percent share of the market, ahead of Chrome, which is a little over 33 percent, and Opera, which is nearly at 10 percent. At its peak, UC Browser accounted for nearly 60 percent of the Indian market, but has lost some of the ground to Google's Chrome since then.

According to reports, UC Browser sends data including device's IMEI number and location data to a server in China on connecting to a Wi-Fi network.

In May 2015, a a Canadian technology research group reported that Alibaba Group Holding Ltd paid more than $1 billion for leaking sensitive user data and said that is a privacy risk. Citizen Lab said Chinese and English-language versions of UC Browser made easily available to third parties personally identifiable information like location, search details and mobile subscriber and device numbers.

Last week, the government also asked all smartphone companies, majority of them Chinese manufacturers, to outline the procedures and processes adopted by them to ensure security and privacy of users' data.

Mobile manufacturers and software providers have a long history of tracking users, without always disclosing the fact. Even when it's disclosed, the amount of data being collected is often a lot more than users realise, so UC Browser would not be unique in this. However, with tensions between India and China at a high right now, it perhaps explains why there is scrutiny relating to any app sending data to the latter country.

Renault Kaptur Car launching Date And Price And Photos in India

Expected Launch: August 2017
Expected Price: ₹8 Lakhs
Renault Kaptur is not launched in India yet. Information on this page is tentative.







Renault Kaptur Preview

The Kaptur is a new crossover from Renault that has spawned off the Duster platform. Renault also has the Captur globally, but that is based on the Clio platform which is expensive to work with. The Kaptur does take design cues from the similarly sized Captur but has been developed for the emerging markets like South America and Asia. The Kaptur is expected to come to India by mid-2017.

The Kaptur is about 4.3m long which is the same length as the Duster. Which means, the five-seater crossover will be as spacious as the Duster and the lower height means it will be more of an S-Cross competitor than a Creta competitor. Looking at the interior of the new Duster, Renault seems to have learnt what sells in the subcontinent and the Kaptur will come fully loaded with all the necessary features. It might have the residual French quirks in its design, but if it has the space and features needed, we wouldn’t mind.


The Kaptur gets the latest Renault signature fascia of a smiley grille with horizontal slats and a chrome lined lower half. The headlamps sweep back on the contoured front and the air dam gets its lower half blacked out with horizontal slats for a sporty look. It gets projector headlamps and bumper mounted LED DRLs. Being a crossover, peripheral cladding is a must and the slightly flared wheel arches with give it a butch look. Tail design is simple but contoured with LED tail lamps and a blacked out lower half of the bumper.


As for the engines, you will have the 1.5-litre dCi turbocharged four cylinder diesel engine powering the front wheels of the Kaptur. The 1.5-litre mill is offered with the Duster in two states of tune – 84bhp and 108bhp and will most probably be the same on the Kaptur along with the five and six-speed gearboxes. The petrol mill will be the 1.6-litre 102bhp four cylinder engine also from the Duster. There is also a fair chance of the Kaptur getting the AWD like the Duster.

As we have said earlier, the Kaptur should be an S-Cross competitor and might be priced alongside the Duster if not slightly below it. Which means we can expect the Kaptur to be priced between Rs 8 lakh to 14 Lakh.

Lamborghini Huracan Performante Spyder caught on camera in India


All the positive things that have been said recently about the Lamborghini Huracan Performante hold true for this new drop top version that has been caught on camera with some camouflage.

Like the coupe, the Huracan Performante Spyder gets a 5.2-litre V10. It's the same engine as the base Huracan but retuned here and fitted with a lighter exhaust that exits higher. 


The result is 30 more horsepower for a total of 631. The new exhaust also leaves room for a bigger rear diffuser, providing even more downforce. Going by the fixed roof model, the Huracan Performante Spyder is bound to be one seriously fast convertible.

Aamir Khan Will (Probably) Not Even Attend The National Awards If Dangal Wins

Aamir Khan

Aamir Khan Will (Probably) Not Even Attend The National Awards If Dangal Wins
In 1996, Aamir lost the Filmfare Best Actor award to SRK, who won for playing the male lead in Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. Aamir, who stopped attending award shows since then thinking his performance was better suited for the award, was nominated for starring as Munna in Rangeela

Aamir Khan photographed on his 52nd birthday

Actor Aamir Khan, who interacted with the media on his 52nd birthday, shared his birthday plans and spoke about his "only" upcoming film, his recent meetings with Shah Rukh Khan and that he is not very fond of award shows in Bollywood. Aamir was asked whether he would attend the National Awards this year, if his much-acclaimed wrestling drama Dangal scores a win. Aamir told reporters on Tuesday, "I don't go to award functions. For me the biggest award is the audiences' reaction and love. I don't want to comment on awards." In 1996, Aamir lost the Filmfare Best Actor award to SRK, who won for playing the male lead in Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. Aamir, who stopped attending award shows since then thinking his performance was better suited for the award, was nominated for starring as Munna in Rangeela. However, Aamir won Best Actor Award at Filmfare this year for his performance in the Nitesh Tiwari-directed Dangal, in which he plays the role of Mahavir Singh Phogat.

Aamir gained 22 extra kilos for playing the role of older version of the wrestler in Dangal and got into a leaner form for featuring as the younger version of the Haryanvi wrestler after six months of extensive training. When asked about his massive physical transformation, he said: "As an actor it's necessary to bring about physical changes. I get swayed sway by the character I play and do not think about my health. I have been good so far."

Dangal done, Aamir will next be seen in Thugs Of Hindostan, in which he will co-star with superstar Amitabh Bachchan for the first time. "Thug is the only film I'm doing right now. Shooting will begin in June. This year I'm really excited about Thugs. This is my first chance to work with Big B. I'll get to learn a lot from an actor of the stature of Big B," said Aamir.

To all those, who are looking forward to a possible collaboration between Shah Rukh and Aamir, he said: "I met Shah Rukh only two times recently, one at a friend's birthday party and two days back I went to his house for a get-together. So, we meet as friends and haven't discussed work."

When asked about his birthday plans, Aamir said he will be spending the day with the real lifeDangal family comprising Mahavir Singh Phogat and his daughters. Actresses Fatima Sana Shaikh and Sanya Malhotra feature as Geeta and Babita in Dangal while Zaira Wasim and Suhani Bhatnagar played the younger version of the young wrestlers. When asked about Aamir's role as a well-wisher for the girls, he said: "I feel that all four of them are very talented girls. I don't think they need my advice but if they do, I am always there. I hope that they have wonderful careers. I think they will be a big asset to the industry."

Aamir Khan, now 52, will also be producing Secret Superstar, starring Zaira Wasim and also featuring Aamir in a special appearance. Thugs Of Hindostan will be directed by Advait Chandan and will be co-produced by his wife Kiran Rao. Thugs Of Hindostan is scheduled to hit screens on August 4.
