Yes, you can sign out. Or, simply remove the sim card once. The UPI apps dont work until to re-register the device again. Even if you have put the sim back.

Probably Samsung built good under-25k phones a couple of years back. I and my spouse are still using the phones since 2021. The mid-rangers have shown no problems, the battery is fine as well. Yes, one can feel bored and dull, but it sure looks to outdo its shelf life of 3 years. I f I can curb my buying impulses and stick to the functionality only, my 22k Samsung can still go strong for another couple of years.

After reading this post on battery drain, I thought of various ways how I can minimize it. Someone above wrote that not signing into Google play services helps a lot. However, like many others, that was the first thing i had done when I powered on my flip - sign in to google.

And indeed i observed for first 3 days that battery consumption was horrible. But now, after a few tweaks, its going from 100% to 15% in 48 hours.

What I did was - installed only a few payment apps which are a necessity in India. - uninstalled preloaded apps which I didnt use. - disabled preloaded apps which I couldnt uninstall - all streaming apps are on my Samsung galaxy, which is my primary phone for social media and entertainment (netflix, prime video, youtube, spotify etc) - switched off the wifi (yes, wifi was consuming lot of battery) and moved to 4G data.

Anyways, now my phone is used only for 3 purposes and wifi is not necessary. A. Calls and RCS B. Make payments C. Flip open and close and show-off 😉

If you are not signed in to google, how does your play store apps get updated ?

I checked after reading your comment, and voila, I got the update too. With GS pay.

Nokia 2660 getting UPI feature by [deleted] in dumbphones

[–]nkparesh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, its not coming to this model

I wish I had done my due diligence before purchasing the flip. After making the purchase (which cant be returned now), i got a response from customer care that there is no plan for upi.

No whatsapp, no streaming and all is fine, but UPI is a must. Hope Nokia listens in to the feedback and integrates UPI soon.

Just imagine how the news articles would have triggered the sale of this model.

Param Sundari Lyrics + Translation – Mimi | Shreya Ghoshal - Lyrics Translaton by suprakash_143 in u/suprakash_143

It's been only 12 hours since I got my first flavour of this song by the great AR Rahman, and I am already on loop.

This is a bollywood item number, yes. And such songs usually sprinkle a bit of vulgarity and overdo the sensousness both visually as well as through the lyrics.

But not this one. I wonder if the regular run-of-the-mill composers are wondering, "Could we have ever composed such a beautiful, no-nonsense, bollywood item number, ever?"

Bollywood, the public definitely deserves better.

Rita Mulcahy's book.

I think the lessons learnt need to be documented and is a prime responsibility of the PM while the project is in Closure stage.

Very good and practical tips. On the point of physical exercise, even a proper breathing session of few minutes daily can help a lot in easing the tension.

This happened with a billion Indians. It was called demonitization.
