know who is calling before you pick up. Now you have the power to decide if you
want to pick up a call from a number not in your phonebook. It could be an old
friend, or someone you know calling from another number. </span></div>

frustration.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

So what exactly is Truecaller? I don't even need to explain because everybody with a smartphone in their hand probably knows that it is the world’s largest verified mobile phone community.<br />
<div>
Gone are the days when you used to pick up calls only to realize that someone was trying to convince you to get that credit card or that insurance you don't need.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So, how did this brilliant idea come to Nami Zarringhalam and Alan Mamedi? It is well known that <i>"Necessity is the mother of invention"</i>, Nami and Alan were frustrated when numbers from abroad would call, and they could not find a place to identify them.</div>

The idea of being able to know who is calling, no matter what country or location, caught people's attention. Today, Truecaller has more than 80 million users and +1 billion numbers and names, and these numbers keep growing even as you are reading this post.<br />

<b>My Experience with Truecaller</b></div>
<div>
<b></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
For me, Truecaller has been one of the most important apps on my phone. It tells me who is calling, and helps me to organize my phone book. It knows exactly who's calling and blocks all spam calls. This saves my time and frustration of dealing with telemarketers trying to desperately sell something I don't want. My friends are quite surprised when they call me from their parents' or relatives' numbers and hear me answering "Hey, xyz" courtesy of Live Caller ID that shows me who's calling before I even pick up the call.<span style="font-size: large;"></span></div>
<div>
It also protects me from international spam calls which may, sometimes, also be tricks to tap phones.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>How it Works</b></div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
Truecaller users from all over the world share their phone books, which are securely stored, and together create the world’s largest phone directory. The users use crowdsourcing as their way of helping each other identify numbers, and keep each other informed about spam numbers. When you download Truecaller, your phone book helps to add to the ever-growing database. Truecaller provides you features such as searching for names with the numbers, finding a way to contact people, and requesting contact details. When you are connected to the internet and you receive a call from an unknown number, the Live Caller ID helps you to decide whether to pick up the call.</div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><u><br /></u></span></div>
<div>
<b>Safety and Privacy</b></div>
<div>
Is is safe to upload your phone book and give away your numbers like that? Absolutely. Firstly, the numbers are stored securely and safely. Secondly, the data does <b>not </b>contain any private information such as social account passwords. It is completely your decision if you want to provide a profile photo and other details. You can also set your contact details to "Request Only" so that you decide who sees your number and other details. If you still aren't okay with that, it is very easy to completely remove all info (Unlist) from the database.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Overall, it is the best application to know who's calling and to connect with your friends and family.</div>

(<b>Note : It is recommended that in some cases, when the latest drivers don't solve the issue, the 314.21 driver should be installed and the registry tweak should be performed as given <a href="http://nikramakrishnan.blogspot.in/2013/03/nvidia-graphics-card-display-brightness.html" target="_blank">here</a>. If this works, you might be able to update to the latest drivers without a problem</b>)<br />
<br />
For more than a year, I didn't download any NVIDIA Driver Update because I feared that it would initiate the brightness problem again. A few days back, I contacted them asking about the current status. They said that the bug had been fixed and I wouldn't have to visit my registry this time.<br />
<br />
I updated to the <b>337.88</b> (<a href="https://goo.gl/DYa3XI" target="_blank">https://goo.gl/DYa3XI</a>) driver on my Windows 8.1 Lenovo G460 and Voila! It worked, and I happily sat there changing my screen brightness for a few minutes with the satisfaction that it had been fixed.<br />
<br />
The link provided above is only for some Notebooks. Please check the "Supported Products" Tab before downloading the 333 MB update. If you don't see your GeForce model in the list of supported ones, you can visit <a href="http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us" target="_blank">this page</a> to get the latest driver information.<br />
<br />
If you don't know your device configuration or product information, open NVIDIA Control Panel, click on Help → System Information.<br />
<br />
If you still aren't able to change your brightness, see <a href="http://nikramakrishnan.blogspot.in/2013/03/nvidia-graphics-card-display-brightness.html" target="_blank">this post</a>.<br />
<br />
Did this fix your problem? Are you facing any issues? Feel free to leave a comment and I'll be glad to help.</div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>UPDATE : The new drivers have fixed the issue. Please see <a href="http://nikramakrishnan.blogspot.in/2014/06/nvidia-graphics-card-display-brightness.html" target="_blank">this post</a> for more Informaiton</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Have an Nvidia Graphics driver and cannot change your brightness? I also had the same problem after upgrading my Lenovo G460 to Windows 8 Pro. I contacted Nvidia and they have given me the solution. Here are the steps to follow to enable your brightness setting:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">1) Download the <span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; line-height: 16.25px;">latest 314.21 beta driver (haven't tested this on the current driver) here: </span><a href="http://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/59436" style="color: #0e53a7; line-height: 16.25px;" target="_blank">http://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/59436</a><span style="color: #404040;"><span style="line-height: 16.25px;"> and perform a clean install.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; line-height: 16.25px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">2) check if "Enable adaptive brightness" option is enabled and if yes try turning it off to see if that will help. This option is located under the Windows 8 power options. You can access it via the Windows control panel > Power Options > Change plan settings (which ever plan is active) > Change advanced power settings > Display </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 16.25px;">> Enable Adaptive Brightness</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 16.25px;">.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; line-height: 16.25px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; line-height: 16.25px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">3) Check if you are able to change your brightness.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #404040; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 16.25px;">3) I</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 16.25px;">f the "Enable adaptive brightness" option does not impact issue then try following the steps below to add a registry and see if that helps.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 16.25px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 16.25px;">4) </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 16.25px;">How to add registry key:</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 16.25px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 16.25px;">1. Make sure you are running the 314.21 driver.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #404040;"><span style="line-height: 16.25px;">2. Download the "DispRegEdit.exe" tool from </span></span><span style="color: #0000ee;"><span style="line-height: 16.25px;"><u><a href="http://goo.gl/f0wUt" target="_blank">http://goo.gl/f0wUt</a></u></span></span><span style="color: #404040;"><span style="line-height: 16.25px;"> to your local system. This tool will take you directly to the registry location where all the graphics drivers registry entries are stored.</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 16.25px;">3. Run the "DispRegEdit.exe" tool. It should bring up the registry editor and take you directly to the location where all the NVIDIA driver settings are store.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 16.25px;">4. Create a new key by right-clicking on the right-hand pan of the registry editor window and then select "New" > "DWORD (32-bit) Value".</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 16.25px;">5. Label the name of the new key as "RMBrightnessControlFlags".</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 16.25px;">6. Once key has been created, double click the new key and then add the "0x800" to Value data area. Click OK to save.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 16.25px;">7. Restart Windows.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 16.25px;">8. Check brightness control again</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.25px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.25px;">5) This solution is for selected laptop models. If this did not work for you, here's an extract from my Personal Assistance question -</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #404040; font-family: Trebuchet MS, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 16.25px;">--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.25px;">That should be fine but it may be best if the other users impacted by this problem submit a bug to NVIDIA. Again the registry key will be targeted for specific laptop models only so unless we know which laptop model is impacted it will not be added to our future drivers. Adding this registry key is more a temporary workaround until we can get this fixed in a future driver. Have other users submit a bug to the link below with "[For Ray]" in the subject so I can pick those up. Have user include the following information in the bug submission.</span><br />
<br style="color: #404040; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.25px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.25px;">1. Brand/model of the laptop.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.25px;">2. Run dxdiag.exe and save log. Upload the log with the submission.</span><br />

<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #404040; font-family: Trebuchet MS, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 16.25px;">6) My friend Ray will help you with your brightness problems or any other problems with your display drivers. Mine took a lot of time to be solved but don't worry, we now know the right solution for mostly all systems having an Nvidia graphics card.</span></span></div>

So. What is it? The biggest physics experiment ever, CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The international project, whose design was approved in 1994, costs over $6 billion. Thousands of powerful magnets, cooled by tons of liquid helium to 1.9 Kelvin (just above absolute zero), guides two beams of protons as they travel in opposite directions around a 27-kilometer tunnel at close to the speed of light; then magnets at two locations pull the beams together for the highest-energy particle collisions ever achieved. By identifying the products of these collisions, physicists tested the standard model of physics and discovered new subatomic particles which will be discussed in the next post.</div>
