Micromax today took off the veil from its first entrant into the tablet segment with the Funbook. The diminutive 7″ tablet comes with mid range specifications for a price which makes tablets accessible to people on a budget. Before you dismiss the tablet as a low end affair for those looking for a budget offering , you will be surprised to know that Micromax has made immense efforts on content partnerships to make the tablet a worthwhile option for everyone from students to those looking for entertainment , media on the go.

The tablet comes with a 7″ capacitive touch screen panel and is available in two colors ie Black and Silver. The screen was sufficiently responsive but looked a bit washed out up front.
*i.imgur.com/84VUl.jpg
Viewing angles as expected are pretty bad. You can’t really expect to watch a movie with someone else keeping in mind that the screen is already on the smaller side and is further hampered by the poor viewing angles.

Micromax claims that the Funbook is probably the thinnest and lightest tablet available in India at the moment. I’m not sure that it competes in thickness but it sure is light and comes in at under 350 grams.
*i.imgur.com/fgsz0.jpg
Three hard buttons can be found on the right hand side of the tablet to be used as the menu , home and back key. The buttons give reassuring feedback on being pressed but we feel that Micromax could have gone for capacitive buttons here.
*i.imgur.com/qz7UG.jpg
Further on the right hand side you can spot all the ports provided on the tablet. One of our biggest complaints with the tablet has got to be that it uses a mini USB plug. Yes , you got that right. Not a full size USB nor a micro USB but a mini USB port which almost nothing else in the market uses ! You’ll have to carry a separate cable for this tablet while travelling.

On the far right you can spot a standard headphone jack. Right next to it is the micro SD card slot. Following it is the HDMI slot , reset button , mini USB slot which can be used with an adapter for use as a USB OTG device. The power socket is at the leftmost corner.
*i.imgur.com/S14UL.jpg
The Micromax Funbook is might just be one of the best low cost devices to hit the market and we were suitably impressed by it during our hands on. This is no iPad killer but then its not meant to be one. At a breakthrough price of Rs. 6,490 bundled with a data card , nothing else can compete on price. Thanks to the impressive content partnerships that Micromax has secured , this could be a clean sweep victory for them in the mass market tablet segment. We’ll have more for you in the full review soon !

Steps for Flashing CUSTOM RECOVERY + CUSTOM ROM + SCRIPTS

Disclaimer: I am in no way responsible if you damage, ruin, brick, etc. your device if you flash any of the unofficial firmware, updates, patches and mods.

Read The Instructions Carefully Before Proceeding. You can always ask if the steps are not clear instead of proceeding with your guess.

Flashing Stuff may void your warranty. I or TDF is no way responsible for that. Think before proceeding.

Though you may flash back original firmware if at any point of time you need to claim warranty, but at your own risk. So this statement is not at all official

Ok, so let us begin...!!

Here are the steps that we'll follow...

1. Install Custom Recovery
2. Backup Stock ROM / Present ROM
3. Flash Custom ROM [IMG File]
4. Install Scripts
5. Modding your ROM with Allwinner Mod
6. Flash Custom ROM [Flashable ZIP File]

Source : IVIEW 760TPC (a.k.a. Ployer Momo9) Firmware & ROM Releases

Detailed Youtube Video Tutorial : IVIEW 760TPC Advanced Improvements - Flashing Firmware, Custom Scripts & more - YouTube

XDA Thread : [Q] Micromax Fun Book Development? - xda-developers

Android Forums Section : Micromax FunBook - Android Forums

Those who are new to this Android and Flashing thing, I'd recommend to read [READ FIRST] [REF] Dictionary for n00b - What is.../What does ...mean? (2011/01/17) - xda-developers to understand the terms / jargon's.

INSTALLING CUSTOM RECOVERY

1. Download CWM Recovery 5 ICS.zip
2. Extract it.

These are the requirements fo Flash CWM...
- tablet must be running Android ICS version (4.0.x)
- tablet must have Superuser installed with SU binary loaded
- tablet must have Debugging enabled (ADB drivers included)

Your Funbook is Pre-Rooted, so we'll just proceed with installing Superuser App from Market

3. Go to Play Store and download Superuser.
4. Go to Superuser App > Settings > Su Binary > Install the Binary
5. Reboot.

Now we'll enable USB Debugging

6. Go to Settings > Developer Options > Turn On USB Debugging.

Now we'll increase the screen timeout to prevent screen from getting turned off in the middle of these procedures

7. Go to Settings > Display > Select Never at Sleep.

8. So now connect the USB Cable to your PC and Funbook and you should see USB Debugging Connected notification.

At this point, if this is your first time, you may see Windows trying to find Drivers which will fail ofcourse. Go to Device Management [Press Windows Key + R > Type devmgmt.msc] > Right Click on Unknown Devices > Update Driver Software > Browse My Computer for Driver Software > Both 64bit [Drivers-AllwinnerA10-64bits] and 32bit [Drivers-AllwinnerA10-32bits] Drivers are provided there within a folder named ADB_Drivers under the Recovery Package, so just browse them according to your OS Specification. A screen may appear up saying "The Publisher of this Driver could not be verified", just ignore that and "Continue Anyway".

9. DO NOT TURN ON USB STORAGE. LEAVE IT AS IT IS.

Time to install CWM. There are two methods. One is easy, by running a script and another is using ADB by typing commands. You'll get an _Instructions.txt there which lists both the methods in case you want to try out the 2nd method. Here I'll only cover the easy one i.e. using Script.

10. Run recovery-install.bat [Windows] / recovery-install.sh [Linux] and press any key and just wait and watch the show

11. Within few mins recovery will be installed.

To reboot in Recovery Mode -> Press Options Key and by keeping it pressed, Press Power Key. Release Power Key and then Release Options Key.

12. Reboot.

Code:

HAVING PROBLEM WHILE INSTALLING CWM?? GETTING PERMISSION DENIED ERROR??

Ok, for those who cannot install CWM from the normal steps(most probably new funbook users having Base 1.2 and ICS 4.0.3) follow these steps.

1. Install Superuser from playstore, update binary, you'll notice it will fail one part(red text), re do the update 2,3 times staright away until all the text become green, no need to reboot phone, but you might want to.

2. Install Android terminal from playstore, in terminal put su and press enter, if you get a warning allow it, if # comes you have root access. If not, re do step one. Don't continue till you get this step correct.

3. Download ES File manager from playstore, go to settings, allow all root access related options and also tick go upto root option.

4. Now start ES file manager, go to root, long press the dev folder, set properties, check all boxes, click ok. Do the same for the data folder, now open the dev folder, and repeat the steps for the block folder, and inside the block folder do the steaps for nandg file.

5. Allow USB debugging from dev options, connect the cable, install drvers.

6. Run the ICS recovery script, wait for it to finish, if it fails then you need to check and set permission again, if all goes well you have successfully installed CWM.

Warning: When setting permissions in ES File Manager make sure the USB cable is not attached, if so it might cause a hard crash and brick the device.

I had used this method to flash CWM on mine and on my friends device, both Base 1.2 and ICS 4.0.3(made in may 2012, the rom build no is: 97F1-D1-H2-H01-MMX.20120512) hence I think funbooks made after may 2012 must use this method, otherwise the script will fails due to permission denial.

BACKUP STOCK ROM / PRESENT ROM

It's always recommended to backup Stock ROM or Present ROM that you are on, before trying New ROM's. Because if at any point if anything goes wrong you can revert back to where you were. Though this is an optional step, but I highly recommend this step if you don't want to left out in the middle of nowhere.

1. Boot in to Custom Recovery.

To reboot in Recovery Mode -> Press Options Key and by keeping it pressed, Press Power Key. Release Power Key and then Release Options Key.

Code:

=======================================================
|      How to control ClockworkMod Recovery 5         |
|                                                     |
| VOL+: up                                            |
| VOL-: down                                          |
| POWER: select                                       |
| BACK: back                                          |
=======================================================

2. Go to Backup And Restore.

You must have a SD Card to Backup your ROM. Though there is an option to backup your ROM to Internal SD Card. But generally there is not much space left in the Internal SD Card to backup a ROM.

3. Choose Backup.

4. Wait for few mins untill the backup is complete.

5. Once the backup is complete, select Reboot System Now to reboot normally.

6. Connect the Tablet to PC using the USB Cable provided and Turn on USB Storage when prompted.

7. Browse the SD Card through PC and navigate to [SD Card Drive]/clockworkmod/backup.

8. You'll see a folder there named upon the Date and Time of the backup.

9. For security purpose keep a copy of that folder to your PC.

10. That's it..!! Lets go and flash Custom ROM now

FLASHING CUSTOM ROM [.img]

WARNING : Again I'm repeating, read this guide first. If you have any doubt ask me / read the guide again / watch the video / read instructions again. But don't proceed if you have any doubt.

1. Download the ROM.

I'll show up this example with Momo9 ROM which I'm using presently. Grab it from 4.0.3-97F1-D1-H2-H01-N413.20120314.part1.rar and 4.0.3-97F1-D1-H2-H01-N413.20120314.part2.rar and extract. You'll end up getting an .img file.

2. Download Live Suite : LiveSuite 1.07 x86 x64.zip and extract.

3. Go to the LiveSuite extracted Folder and start the LiveSuite.exe

4. Click Select Img button and select the .img file [ROM] you extracted.

5. Turn off your Tablet.

6. Plug the USB Cable to PC.

7. Press and hold the Vol+ button, and keeping it pressed connect the other end of the USB Cable to Funbook.

8. Keeping the Vol+ button pressed, press Power button 10 times fast.

Read steps 5-8 again if it's still not clear

Goto to step 12 if it's not the first time you are flashing Funbook

9. If this is your first time, you'd have to install drivers. Your PC will automatically start finding drivers which will fail.

Drivers are included in the livesuite folder

10. Press Win + R > type devmgmt.msc > Right Click on Unknown Devices > Update Driver Software > Browse Driver Software From My PC > Browse the 32bit / 64bit Drivers under LiveSuite folder as per your OS Specification.

11. A screen will appear saying "Publisher of the driver could not be verified". Just ignore that and press "Continue Anyway" and wait until the driver installation finishes up.

12. A screen will appear on screen asking for Mandatory Format, answer with Yes.

13. Again a confirmation screen will appear, answer Yes.

14. Now just wait until the process is Finished.

DON'T DISCONNECT USB CABLE IN THE MIDDLE OF FLASHING. DOING THAT MAY BRICK YOUR DEVICE.

15. Once the Upgrade is Completed, click Ok to exit.

Start your Device to enjoy the New Custom ROM

Here's a list of ROM's which you may try : Virtual Productions - Qware Pro 3 - Downloads

INSTALLING SCRIPTS

Note : This step is highly recommended, as it update GAPPS, Frameworks, Fix Multitouch Issue etc.

1. Download eyeoncomputers_script_ver5b_ics4.0.3.zip and extract.

2. Increase Display timeout from Settings > Display > Select Never at Sleep.

3. Turn on Unknown Sources from Settings > Security > Unknown Sources.

4. Turn on USB Debugging from Settings > Developer Options > USB Debugging.

5. Plug the USB Cable to PC and Funbook.

6. You may need to install ADB Drivers if this is your first time.

At this point, if this is your first time, you may see Windows trying to find Drivers which will fail ofcourse. Go to Device Management [Press Windows Key + R > Type devmgmt.msc] > Right Click on Unknown Devices > Update Driver Software > Browse My Computer for Driver Software > Both 64bit [Drivers-AllwinnerA10-64bits] and 32bit [Drivers-AllwinnerA10-32bits] Drivers are provided there within a folder named ADB_Drivers under the Recovery Package, so just browse them according to your OS Specification. A screen may appear up saying "The Publisher of this Driver could not be verified", just ignore that and "Continue Anyway".

7. DO NOT TURN ON USB STORAGE.

8. Go to eyeoncomputers_script_ver5b_ics4.0.3 folder that you extracted.

9. Run fullmarket.bat and press any key

10. Choose 1 [Complete Installation]. Recommended for first time i.e. if you are running this script first time after flashing a new rom choose 1 always.

11. Don't Panic or touch anything, if you see market and other apps keeps crashing / stopping. That's Normal.

12. After it completes everything automatically, it'll ask for installing essential apps. I'd say press y and install those. Many of those apps will be needed. You may later remove any app later if you think it's not needed.

13. Finally it asks for If you would like to disable phone services to save battery.

Disabling Phone Services will also disable Data, i.e. you won't be able to use Dongles like Tata Photon+, Reliance Netconnect etc.

14. Answer Yes or No, depending upon your preferences.

15. Finally press any key, and the tablet will reboot automatically and the screen will close

That's all, your tablet completely ready to use

Don't forget to revert back the Sleep settings to 1min.

MODDING YOUR ROM

A. Advanced WiFi Lock

1. An app named Advanced WiFi Lock has been installed.

2. Enable it if you don't want to get your device into sleep mode if WiFi is on.

3. I do not recommend Enabling that, as the device will be awake all the time thus eating much more battery.

B. Allwinner Mod

1, An app named Allwinner Mod has been installed.

2. You can choose Usage Style i.e. 120dpi [TABLET], 160dpi [LARGE PHONE], 240dpi [SMALL PHONE]. I recommend keeping it as it is i.e. 120dpi [TABLET]

3. You may choose fake build type, like ICS Allwinner Tablet, SGS i9000, SGS II i9100, Honeycomb Motorola Xoom etc. I recommend selecting SGS 2 here to unlock max market apps.

4. That's all, restart the device to apply changes.

At this point, after you flashed the Custom ROM, your Custom Recovery will be erased. So if you want to flash / try out another ROM, you may like to backup this ROM before trying new one. In that case Install Custom Recovery again.

Finally, nothing can be better than a live video. If you have time do watch it. It shows every single thing as step by step.

Happy Flashing

Note : I'm not the one to find all these things. So the person is eyeoncomputer who deserves the thanks. Thanks to XDA, Android Forums, TDF or anyone who find these links for the first time which helped us modding our tablet. Sources are included in the very first post.

FLASHING CUSTOM ROM [.zip]

WARNING : Again I'm repeating, read this guide first. If you have any doubt ask me / read the guide again / watch the video / read instructions again. But don't proceed if you have any doubt.

NOTE : Well Custom ROM's are available in two methods. 1. IMG File : Which I have already covered above. 2. Flashable ZIP File : I'm going to cover this now .

There are many ROM available on today's date. Check out Android & Windows Phone: Tablets, Apps, & ROMs @ xda-developers.

I'm mentioning the 3 most popular ROM here...
1. [ROM] Fun Series v1 - Custom Rom for Micromax Funbook ICS 4.0.3 - xda-developers
2. [ROM][Funbook]CyanBook v0.1 -CM9 Based [30-05-2012] - xda-developers
3. [ROM][ICS 4.0.3] JetMOD™ 5.0|Funbook|Beats Audio|xLoud|Smooth scroll| Adrenaline - xda-developers

Note : Installing Fun Series ROM may ban you from claiming warranty forever. While Installing Fun Series ROM's a splash screen gets installed which is never gets removed, even after flashing other ROM's. This may get you into problems if you need to claim warranty later.

NOTE : I'm providing a generalized tutorial. For specific details (if any) don't forget to check the respective threads before flashing. Many ROM's may require you to perform some extra steps, so it's always recommended to check the ROM specific threads always.

For more information on Development for Funbook or ROM's available for Funbook, keep a eye on [Q] Micromax Fun Book Development? - xda-developers

1. Download the ROM. Transfer the ROM to your Ext. SD Card. [Don't Extract the ZIP File]

For the sake of Eg. I'm taking CM9 as the ROM to be flashed, but for other ROM's like Fun Series / JetMOD / Some Other XYZ Flashable ZIP ROM's, the process would be more or less same. So download CM9 ROM : CyanBook_v0.1.zip and GAPPS (As mentioned in the thread itself) : Goo.im Downloads - Downloading gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip. For those who don't know what GAPPS is, it's nothing but Google Apps, like Gtalk, Gmail, Maps etc. bundled. But this one is Minimal GAPPS, so it only contains Gallery, Gtalk etc. You have to manually download GMail, Maps etc after flashing the ROM.

NOTE : Not all GAPPS supports all the ROM's. GAPPS for Gingerbread ROM's are different, GAPPS for ICS ROM's are different. So don't forget to check the Specific ROM thread before flashing. Also not all ROM's require flashing GAPPS. Many ROM's come bundled with GAPPS. So again, DON'T FORGET TO CHECK SPECIFIC ROM THREAD TO KNOW ALL THESE DETAILS.

Hope you have downloaded ROM and GAPPS and Transferred the ZIP File to your Ext. SD Card. Now Let's Proceed

2. Boot into your Recovery. [Hope you have flashed recovery and know how to boot into it and operate. If not check Flashing Recovery Tutorial first.]

3. You need to Wipe Data/Factory Reset, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik Cache. [These are general, please check your ROM Specific Thread to know if your ROM needs something else to be Wiped.]

4. Wipe Data/Factory Reset, Wipe Cache are found in main menu. Hope you can see that. For Wipe Dalvik Cache, you need to go to Advanced menu.

5. Come back and navigate to Install Zip From SD Card > Choose ZIP From SD Card.

6. If you have transferred the file to Internal SD Card instead, then select Choose ZIP From Internal SD Card.

Getting Error..?? Something saying "No ZIP File Found" or something like that..?? Are you sure you transferred the ZIP Files..?? Reboot the Tab, Mount Tab as Mass Storage Mode and verify whether the ZIP files are there.

7. Now if everything is ok, choose the appropriate ROM File, and select Yes on Next Screen and wait for the ROM to be flashed.

8. Congratulations..!! Finally the you have flashed the ROM

Err...You got error..?? I'm sorry, that's upto developer. Note the error and comment on the specific ROM Thread. Hope the developer can fix it out..

9. Now, reboot the tablet by going back to main menu and selecting Reboot System Now.

Hey, I remember that we haven't flashed GAPPS yet..!! But you should not flash two zips at once without rebooting. So always reboot after flashing a zip, if you need to flash multiple zip's.

10. Well, wait..!! Don't get hyper or tensed. After flashing a new ROM it takes time to boot. Yes, it may take 5mins also, so don't get hyper. Simply wait..!!

11. Now, hope everything is ok. Simply reboot the tablet again in recovery mode and flash GAPPS. Hope you can do that now.

You don't need to wipe anything this time. Wiping is only done when flashing a new ROM.

15. So reboot and enjoy your Newly Installed ROM

Re: Micromax launches their first ICS 4 tablet

Thanks for this wonderful info tenida.

For this price,it offers some terrific specs. I'm impressed with the gpu which has two cores and is the same mali 400 used in samsung galaxy note.

With 1.2ghz cortex A8, its surely snappier and it also sports a capacitive touch screen with latest icecream sandwich os. At 6.4k, this is a steal to be honest. Man i was looking for a tablet as well and this looks promising.

Re: Micromax launches their first ICS 4 tablet

Thanks Vicky. You know from so long, I am waiting for this kind of Tablet that offers performance beyond the price asked. I will surely get this tablet :))

This Mali 400 Gpu chip can play every full-hd format you throw into the tab.

I think this tablet will be hit like Samsung Galaxy Y & LG Optimus , cheap and big on feature.

Re: Micromax launches their first ICS 4 tablet

@Vicky, if you grab one, don't forget to overclock it

these chips love to be clocked high. Will put Atom processor to shame.

Ya man sure,

I have postponed my phone purchase as i need something big that can act as a pdf reader and occasional browsing. The hd playback capability due to that powerful mali 400 is an icing in the cake.

At 6.4k, its really a steal. Sam this is the same gpu that is used in galaxy s2 and note right?

Re: Micromax launches their first ICS 4 tablet

7$ for this SOC :shock:

vickybat said:

yes. don't know if it is clocked low but such powerful internals at such low price. i got the news in the morning time but didn't checked. felt another el cheapo tablet with usual 1Ghz processor & some GPU. but credit to the chinese for this.

Re: Micromax launches their first ICS 4 tablet

Yeah only 7$ for this powerful chip. Some popular brand like Ainol, Onda and Hyundai also selling Allwinner A10 equipped tablet along with Ployer Momo in China. They can be found in ebay.in also.

Re: Micromax launches their first ICS 4 tablet

so once Windows 8 is released for ARM, there is a chance for sub 10k Windows tablet based on this chip. though till then Android will jump 2 steps more. it'll be interesting. hope they didn't mess with the build quality in case of this tablet.

Re: Micromax launches their first ICS 4 tablet

i m in for this one ..... but hope flipkart dont overprice it

Re: Micromax launches their first ICS 4 tablet

I am a FOOL to be swayed away by the CHEAPEST tablet Akash2 a.k.a UBISLATE7+ from the f****ng Datawind.I have even paid in advance Rs.2,999/- through cheque to Datawind for their First-come-first basis delivery. :cry:

My Booking ID: PM22046E8A5A,still not a single reply or word from Datawind. :twisted:

Now I feel the tremendous remorse and also like to bite my hands in despair... :sad:

If only I could have waited a couple or so months longer,then I would have definitely gone for this "Funbook" by Micromax.
I feel this Funbook will give the SAMSUNG and ACER's Tablet a run for their money.

It is definitely a worthy Tablet for budget users at this price point.Moreover at the end of the year or so,prices will surely fall for this wonderful tablet.

According to me:-->

SAMSUNG/ACER/VIEWSONIC/TOSHIBA/SONY/MOTOROLA/etc. Tablets = Milk with extra fat

* MICROMAX/Amazon Kindle/Beetel/HCL/etc. Tablets = Skimmed Milk (Adored by Health conscious...!!!Wallet conscious ???)

UBISLATE7+/WishTel IRA/Pantel(BSNL)/ etc. Tablets = Lassi/Butter Milk

1) does it have a stock ICS or it is modified by micromax
2) will we see any custom ROM from XDA or any other party
3) does it have Android Market/Google Play
4) can we make call with it
5) will we see anymore products like this from other companies

2) This tablet seems like the momo9, its got some decent support at pandawill, not sure about xda..

3)yes

4)you cant make calls via sim card, you can make skype calls..

5) Many companies already got it, at least this looks the same, internals/screen could be different..

Re: Micromax launches their first ICS 4 tablet

I am thinking of buying this tab, does it have market/play? I think we can live with 'g' Wifi because i don't think we can expect 'n' speed. They should have bundled Bluetooth though. Hope micromax provide a better tab at ~10K.

You can install google play in it.And Wifi will like that used in mobiles, will be decent.
Wifi speed totally depends upon broadband speed imo.And Its arguably the best tab within 10K, it can play full-hd movie what netbook or entry level notebook can't that's added advantage. Also the Mali400 graphics chip its loot at 6.5k.
Note-Mali400 graphics chip also comes in Samsung Note and galaxy S2 which costs over 30K

It has Cortex A9, not A8.

Even better.

Had to be A9 actually. All Mali SoCs have A9.

Yes i know that it has mali400 but i wanted a similar tab with bluetooth and support for ZTE modems.I hope the support for ZTE modems will come from Devs.

To install Google Play, you will need to Root it first.
Then using a app like 'Root Explorer' you will have to copy 'GoogleServicesFramework.apk' and 'Vending.apk' into system partition to enable Google Play on this device. Permissions will also need to be set for it. :mrgreen:

Also additional steps may be needed, but I can't tell more without the device.

Also above steps can be used for any device which doesn't have Google Play on it.

Well not really.

The thing is, snapdeal is ok for coupons and all. But many members over here and other forums have faced problems with buying product from Snapdeal.

So to be on safe side, I asked him not to get it from snapdeal.

Food coupons and all are fine. But buying products are risky from these type of deals sites.

You can also order Micromax Funbook from ebay. Here's the link. Within 2 days from listing, 42 pcs already have been sold :shock:

Even im planing to purchase one,but waiting for hands on reviews from tenida

Re: Micromax launches their first ICS 4 tablet

I don't know whether you guys have overlokked it or not, this Micromax tablet does not have calling facility. It is like HCM Me tablet, available around 11K where you can't make call as it does not support SIM function as well as external 3G dongle for calling. Only 3G Internet can be used
Check the Letsbuy link provided by Tenida in the 1st post. Calling Not Supported is the 1st line of its highlighted feature set.

Re: Micromax launches their first ICS 4 tablet

Well, I know its doesn't come up with 3G or Sim inbuilt within the tablet. But at 6.5K price , this feature is not possible for micromax to give. Although calling is supported through skype or gtalk.
Forget MM Funbook you will also not find any 3G sim supported tablet within 10-18k range either. Samsung Galaxy Tab 620, Samsung Galaxy Tab 680 supports 3G sim but they costs around 26-28K which is not at all VFM.
Only three tablet supports calling facility

Re: Micromax launches their first ICS 4 tablet

Just because a tab supports 3g sim does not mean it has calling facility.. My bro has a XOOM 3G + Wifi version.. It does not support calling nor does it support native video calling with front camera.. the 3g is just for internet..
Same thing with the galaxy tabs

I do hope that this tab will support more internet dongles in the future, especially Micromax's own USB Dongles

Re: Micromax launches their first ICS 4 tablet

Called up MM CC, they said, it'll be launched in the market in 2-3 days, it is only available online as of now!

I am tempted to take it, i hope tenida gets it today itself

Re: Micromax launches their first ICS 4 tablet

i think installing custom roms will allow us to use other 3g dongles also....

now can you please check if you can conenct your phone with tab and use the phone internet with this tab, or you can use any SIM based gprs internet with this tab...

does it have the Google Android App Market.. how is gaming performance, build quality, sound, video quality, boot time, etc....

Re: Micromax launches their first ICS 4 tablet

^It has google play market.

Re: Micromax launches their first ICS 4 tablet

Dont worry,Android Market is there....it means we can update it to the latest Google Play for sure. and yes custom ROM will be very useful......Funbook is Loaded with lots of unnecessary stuff.(at least unnecessary for me

)

Right now,i don't have any 3g or WiFi connection available here so i am not able to download any games or application......but again don't worry about HD gaming,i read somewhere that Dual Mali400 GPU is better tha Tegra 2 (personally i m nt sure).

Re: Micromax launches their first ICS 4 tablet

Guys another plus for the funbook courtesy the dual mali 400mp. Its termed dual because its capable of handling both 2d and 3d video( needs a 3d display though).

The 2160p video support written in the specs sheet explains the same. 3d video has two overlapped images. So for a 1080p 3d video, the native resolution of two combined images are 1080x2 =2160p.

So this mali400 gpu is really a blessing in disguise that too for a 6.5k tab. That's simply amazing.

I dont personally think custom roms will be available for this. Thats the biggest drawback of buying a product from a company like micromax. I dont think micromax itself will ever update the firmware on their own. thats the only thing preventing me from placing an order uptil now.

Had a talk with the seller, he said he'll deliver it by next Friday at max!

And the color will be the one, which ever is available!

Either go for ebay or snapdeal, but don't consider ncarry their service totally sucks.

Use 5% discount coupon (JETEBAY001). And get the funbook @ Rs.6165.50.

Re: Micromax launches their first ICS 4 tablet

^^ Snapdeal director said, they are booking a MM Funbook every 2 minutes

Impressive

While, i had a conversation with the ebay seller, he said they'll deliver it in a week!

But i am confused, should i order it and get it by next weekend or wait and buy next week from the retailers, it is assumed to be launched next week in the local market!

Re: Micromax launches their first ICS 4 tablet

How many people here have got there hands on the funbook? Can someone post a video of surfing the net using a broswer other than the stock ICS browser. Firefox or Dolphin may be. Also try to run latest HD games like MC3, GT Racing, 9mm and stuff. Will be of great help to the prospective buyers.

Re: Micromax launches their first ICS 4 tablet

Holy ****, was ordering one, was adding the product to cart, and the listing ended on ebay!

200 products have been sold, may be had had put some deadline

What now ?

I dont find SnapDeal apt for buying gadgets!

Re: Micromax launches their first ICS 4 tablet

ankit360 said:

depends, it might be due to non-optimization of driver codes for this system or may be higher specification requirement by the app. but if it's a fault on micromax side, they they should provide an update addressing this.

well, someone needs to check it with other available browsers too, does it lag the same way with other browsers as well ?

I would be careful when shopping from Indiatimes, a search on Google gave bad reviews on their service and customer support, Go for eBay or Snapdeal.
if you've previously bought from indtimes and were satisfied with their service then go ahead. But if its your first time with them, I'd say think twice.

Indiatimes is not reliable at all. Last time I purchased a wifi router using their high value discount coupan. After a month of waiting they didn't delivered goods by saying courier service non survicable area. But reputed courier like First Flight, DTDC, Blue Dart, Professional etc are available in my area. So got refund after a month of waiting.

Well Funbook and momo9 may look similar because of its hard buttons and screen size, But dimension wise its totally different
The Dimensions of momo9 are 122 x 197 x 12.7 mm
The Dimensions of Funbook are 122 x 192 x 10 mm
i.e the Funbook is only 10mm thick, so that is a lot of difference, Thickness plays a major role .
Oh and just for comparison,
Dimensions of the Galaxy Tab 620 are : 122.37 x 193.65 x 9.96 mm

For office suite, you can install Kingsoft Office, but stock one should do fine (btw, is it Polaris Office? it has a built-in pdf viewer, although it can't open protected pdf files.). For comics viewer, my favorite is ComicRack.

Thanks for the suggestion :wink:

I haven't yet checked the office browser. Will let you know about pdf support.

Do not waste time on launchers.
Look for the lightest possible launcher,if you do not like the stock one.
For me the most important test would be the hdmi mirroring quality of big 10-15GB 1080p rips,and the usb OTG functionality.

Re: Micromax launches their first ICS 4 tablet

Battery is what I am more concerned about.. this has 2800mah battery when all the comparable ones are have 3600+mah battery. Monsieur Tenida, looking forward for review.

Is this same as ployer momo9(most likely not) and veedee D10 ?

Hey congrats on your purchase, could you Check out this Review by Gadget Guru, Micromax Funbook: Review - NDTVGadgets.com
any truth in what they say, does it hang or takes 3-5 seconds to wake up from sleep mode?

Re: Micromax launches their first ICS 4 tablet

I have not faced such problem. Better you try out the funbook in store then decide on it or wait for my review.

Tenida, please also do test on how smooth it is, specially when running multiple apps i.e. multitasking.

Because android is famous for it's laggyness

Also if possible please check out GPS too..!! It'd be better if you can go through all the features..!!

Re: Micromax launches their first ICS 4 tablet

Don't worry Snapdeal is great...,at least with MM funbook.

Re: Micromax launches their first ICS 4 tablet

Re: Micromax launches their first ICS 4 tablet

BTW I have Gray too.....and it looks really great.(still its ur personal choice)

Re: Micromax launches their first ICS 4 tablet

^ just did it..

dunno but iam more leaned towards black.. one so..

Re: Micromax launches their first ICS 4 tablet

I also order for midnight black but the ncarry told me that black is not available, so I have no option left to choose the grey one. But believe me grey looks as good as black.

Why don't you get it from ebay? Its cheaper (if you use coupons), check out this listing Micromax P300 Funbook Tablet 7" WiFi, Android 4.0..1 Year Manufacturer Warranty | eBay, you can get it for less than Rs 6000 (Using a 10% discount coupon), try Googling hard for the 10% coupon, or else you can get the 5% discount (Rs 6165) that's easily found on a Google search .

Re: Micromax launches their first ICS 4 tablet

^^Ok will check, but still i don't it will work before rooting. Other than Tata Photon dongle, no other device will work at this moment.

Update: Uploading two videos of Funbook, video quality will be not that great. But you will have a short idea about the device.

Will certainly consider it now, the one i had been tracking on Ebay, had been finished with his listing after selling 200 items.
As of the 10% coupon, i have tried plenty of them, they say "The gift voucher MND3Q3JKV6 has been issued to another user. You will not be able to use this voucher on your user ID. Please try another voucher or continue with your payment."

Though the 5% coupon works well, even i chose Snapdeal for COD, but then 21st is way too late!

Buddy, may be you skipped the little star (*) which said Conditions Apply

Actually the, dongle is free, but what you need to pay is the activation charges!

Re: Micromax launches their first ICS 4 tablet

Hey guys, thanks to my beloved TD forum, i finally brought this tab, after much deliberation, since the NDTV reviews are pretty bad.

If you are looking for your first tab, for a first android device, or for just the experience, go ahead and buy it. I just love the device.. Everything is perfect.

Please note that the dongle is paid, and I can't use my Reliance Webconnect on this. Plus, if you delete all the Vriti Educational content and bundled movies and songs, you free almost 1.5 GB of space, which makes this device run pretty fast.

Re: Micromax launches their first ICS 4 tablet

@Enticer86- Congrats mate. You purchased it from where? and hows the experience?

dan4u said:
Well Funbook and momo9 may look similar because of its hard buttons and screen size, But dimension wise its totally different
The Dimensions of momo9 are 122 x 197 x 12.7 mm
The Dimensions of Funbook are 122 x 192 x 10 mm
i.e the Funbook is only 10mm thick, so that is a lot of difference, Thickness plays a major role .
Oh and just for comparison,
Dimensions of the Galaxy Tab 620 are : 122.37 x 193.65 x 9.96 mm

That's very good point. That means its not ployer momo oem.

Anyway, looks like Tradus is offering a better deal. So should I go for Tradus..?? I have never purchased from Tradus.

Re: Micromax launches their first ICS 4 tablet

^^I called a mobile phone store called 'Lets Connect' on Ganesh Chandra Avenue today morning and they said they will have the Funbook in stock from this Monday. Or you can search Mobile store or other reputed shop at Gariahat. Buying locally is the best option at this moment

Re: Micromax launches their first ICS 4 tablet

Ok finally ordered from Tradus

Thanks @kool for sharing the coupon.

This is my first purchase from Tradus, lets see how their service is

Fonearena review

Battery Life :

The Micromax Funbook includes a 2800mAh battery pack which is certainly on the lower side. The company rates battery life at 4-5 hours of web browsing. In our experience we got about 3 hours of browsing while any kind of multimedia activity rapidly reduced standby time. This is one aspect which the company will really have to work on keeping in mind the rampant power cuts in a country like India

Re: Micromax launches their first ICS 4 tablet

Wow. This looks good. The price is also very good indeed. Been quite many months since order of my Ubislate. Seriously considering my decision to cancel my order now. Too much air of uncertainity.

time to root i guess. with custom rom it should last a day. or 1-2hr more under mild use.

removing bloatwares should give 30min more backup.

Yes. Usually the software used for rooting has the Unroot option. but I donot think you have to root unless you feel there is lack in performance and its time to make changes by removing pre loaded bloat.

There's still no Custom Recovery and Custom ROM released for it.

Wish that we also get a dedicated forum @ XDA for this device.

Re: Micromax launches their first ICS 4 tablet

Guys, Need some answers before i decide between funbook and veedee D10 aka ployer momo9.
Veedee D10 Capacitive 7" Tablet PC - Android 4.0 - Cortex A10 MID - WIFI 1080P | eBay

Considering the specs, Veedee D10 beats down funbook.
D10 has better rated battery 4000mah (funbook 2800mah)
D10 is 8GB internal mem
has decent support in pandawill forums as its really a ployer momo9 and has many custom roms available.
rest CPU/RAM/Graphics is same.
both come with 1 year warranty.

D10 is looking better deal though wondering if i am missing some info about this.

Anybody has any comaprisons up for these 2 Tabs.
btw, do we have info as to who is really making funbook. lot companies just outsource tabs from companies like ainol or ployer.. who is making funbook ?

Re: Micromax launches their first ICS 4 tablet

Although Funbook and veedee is same on specs. on some extend. But still Veedee D10 is better than Funbook for of following reason:-

# Real Ployer Momo9( you will get better community support)
# Better Battery 3700 mah
# 1.3 Mp front facing camera
# Any 3G dongle support (Funbook has limitation with only tata photon)
# 8GB internal storage
# Fresh ICS 4 Os with no bloatware what's so ever

So, getting Veedee D10 makes more sense.

see link - Veedee D10 tablet with android 4.0 unboxing and review
look for timestamp - April 16, 2012 at 8:02 am in comments section.

Display is another big factor for any tab. How does funbook/ xtab a10/ veedee d10 compare on display -resolution looks same. but ppi ?

Somehow I am waiting for Karbonn Mobiles Smart tab now. which seemingly has better battery as well as 2.0mp front Camera(think Skype).

Display is not a problem. Actually, at 6.5K only we don't expect display quality to be like ipad or Galaxy Tab.
And they have pick and drop warranty policy, which is quite good.

Is the coupon a 1time use or a generic one ? Can i have it ?

The coupon code is MND3Q3JKV6, but I think it can be used by certain users only. anyways check it out and let me know.

Re: Micromax launches their first ICS 4 tablet

Anyone knows how to connect this tab to pc. I connected with USB cord, but cannot access as mass storage.

I am not able to find a good seller, that will not rip me off for the in box accessories for HTC Explorer

i tried using it, but it says I can't use it for the item I'm purchasing.
Since, I already used the Coupon for the funbook, I don't think i can use it again. use the 5% discount, or wait a few days eBay will usually send you coupons if you bought something from them lately. you bought funbook from eBay right?

We need a sticky thread to compare all tabs.
btw, this doesn't seem to have any spec info on veedee site. RAM/battery.

Somehow I am waiting for Karbonn Mobiles Smart tab now. which seemingly has better battery as well as 2.0mp front Camera(think Skype).

even i m also interested in karbonn. Do u know any update that when it will come in market? At what price?

Re: Micromax launches their first ICS 4 tablet

Guys two more reviews on Micromax Funbook,Review: Micromax Funbook | Video & Photo Reviews of Gadgets at BGR India
and Is a budget tablet like Micromax Funbook really value-for-money? - The Economic Times, from these reviews what I understood is, in the current market scenario and at this price point there is no other better tab from a reputable Company than the funbook.

It has also been re-emphasized, that the tab isnt all that great for ebook reading, coz of its poor display.

I hope, tenida will give us a better view of things!!

It worries me, my primary usage will be reading!

Re: Micromax launches their first ICS 4 tablet

2) Google play is not opening, it says connection time out.

My review also stuck in middle because of this.

Display is not a problem. Actually, at 6.5K only we don't expect display quality to be like ipad or Galaxy Tab.

Yeah, true - Just looking the best display i can get in this range.
btw, look at this interesting conversation about ppi of D10 and NXG Tab a10's display.

Re: Micromax launches their first ICS 4 tablet

thats just a noob discussion....they don't know to calculate the pixel density....Arpandeb mentioned it wrong in his review and so everyone is crying...

Its pretty simple, if the resolution of the tab is 800x480, calculate the pixels on the diagonal, so thats (800^2 + 480^2) ^1/2 . Now divide that by screen size, ie 7". That is your actual SCREEN pixel density..

The display of the D10 is very good, no point arguing on that...

Btw, D10s lacks HDMI and price is Rs5499 I am told...

Veedee has pretty good service, anyone who faces an issues got it fixed...they arrange for both pickup and delivery, so you dont need to worry..

Re: Micromax launches their first ICS 4 tablet

@tenida
install android drivers first on your computer.
for google play, keep pressing retry, i keep facing that issue on my aircel gprs...

Re: Micromax launches their first ICS 4 tablet

^^ Thanks for suggestion.
I downloaded android driver from this link. But there was no installer in that file.
2) Already tried retry many times but no help

Re: Micromax launches their first ICS 4 tablet

Tenida said:
I also think so. But before doing rooting , I have to search the rom for this tab.

I played 4 video song, 6 min each and watched one movie (duration-15min). Battery goes to 91% from 88%. I hope the battery is alright.

Battery life is bad. Plus, i just noticed when connected it to PC - only 2GB of total internal memory?? WTF?? I read 4GB somewhere.
Also, am not able to use reliance netconnect on this

Re: Micromax launches their first ICS 4 tablet

I have used the D10 and funtab, so what i can tell is that both are equally quick, screen is very much similar...the build quality is better on the funbook, but the battery is better on the Veedee and it has pretty good support as well..

I think you can still get the D10 for Rs6500..with freebies

@tenida : I am sure your issues will get fixed..i think you are missing some small thing...

SAD NEWS

I'll get my money refunded, as the ebay seller hasnt received the stocks from Micromax and won't be able to ship orders within the 5 day period(tomorrow being the last day) that ebay gives!

Will now wait, until it is available in the local market!

Any idea on when the tablet will arrive in retail outlets?

This tablet is not good for ebook reading. Plain and simple book is ok, but it can't able to render magazine easily. The lag is very irritating. This tablet is only good for multimedia and browsing purpose. My review stuck in middle as google play is not opening, but will complete it soon. But please don't buy Micromax Funbook for ebook reading.

GREAT!! Now, i am happy, for my order wont be shipped and i'll get the refund! Will go for Kindle now!!

Any other suggestions ? Can expand a little!

^^I can't suggest any other tab as, I have not used it. But kindle would be not bad choice, I think.

i too was planning too buy this for ebook reading but now i m thinking to do so which tablet to go for ebook,mult. and browsing purposes?
btw can it render pdf easily of mathematical nd physics numericals without lags please check asap..

Tenida,from which website you got the tablet?
Do you too face those small dots/spots under your camera while rotating/touching LCD screen of the tablet?

I bought from ncarry. No problem related LCD screen.

Micromax Funbook is already rooted.

Today i installed the "Root Checker Basic" and verified it.

@Tenida .. Please confirm this on your funbook,Root Checker Basic is available on Google Play.

But Google Play is not opening in my tab. Its giving connection timeout error

Btw. guys magazine is running smoothly on ''document to go'' app.

Ok no problem buddy

So, how is the reading experience now ? Try reading for a few hours, download any programming(or something, that will have a lot of text in black and white) book and please let me know the reading experience!

so tenida did you liked android?

now funbook is on stock at Letsbuy..

shud i cancel snapdeal order which gave me shipping date of 21 and go for letsbuy (i have positive feedback from LB , as i hav bought quite some stuff from LB )

or just stick to snapdeal hoping that they'll defo ship on 21st ?

confused

Cancel the order from snapdeal and consider letsbuy. They are better than ncarry or snapdeal imo.

I'll suggest you Lets Buy,i ordered Philips DSP60N on Sunday Evening and it was delivered to me on Tuesday Afternoon

^ good now after i order from LB will cancel the order from Snapdeal..

cant find anything good cost cutting coupons

At letsbuy,you can only use coupons given to you by Letsbuy!No other coupon codes can be applied.
You should cancel the order from snapdeal first,they dispatch/pack the product on the same/other day..Sometimes delivery from snapdeal goes too fast that you can't even imagine!I remember,i ordered a pyjama in the evening and in the next morning exact @11a.m. the courier man was on my gate(carrying the pyjama with him

)

Me too don't think that my experience from tradus would be any good. Tradus marked it as "Out Of Stock" and Customer Care is not replying to mails.

They don't even have any phone no which I can call up. So I have to wait till they reply to mail

Once ordered a Pen Drive from Tradus,firstly they didn't delivered the product upto 5 days,then i got a phone call that the product is out of stock, sorry for the in-convince.

dude..
no double sided statements in that sentence imho..

iam guessing as letsbuy has it..
flipkart wud on be it very soon too..
so before getting it frm LB shud i wait for Flipkart ? (coz LB takes atleast 7-10 days sure to ship)

^ and aah forget to mention
there's no TATA photon dongle with it ( i knw it needs 500* fr activation , but still 500 fr tata photon + a small plan isnt bad )...

i guess then ill wait for Flipkart,,

The double-statements are there,one side he is mentioning LB as better than others(snapdeal and ncarry)and on the other side he is saying that LB ships defective products.
Depends upon you,if you want to have it on flipkart,you must wait,as far as shipping is concerned,LB will ship in 2-3 days maximum.

your post simply proves that you are saying Letsbuy sends defective products,by using "LOL" word on my post,you showed that i was joking;also on my post as you have posted LOL after quoting my post,i stated many times that you confuse us a lot,if you were pointing Snapdeal,you should have mentioned snapdeal in the post!Also,it's not always that snapdeal sends defective products.

Where?? I said it right. Where the double-sided statement??

Commenting Lol on my post and not mentioning Snapdeal simply tells that on one side you are saying LB is better than Ncarry and on the other hand you say LB sends defective products.

No one is providing you the dongle except Tata Company itself!Even Snapdeal didn't provided me.
You have to carry the product id and necessary documents including Invoice of Fun book with you and you have to submit these to Tata Company and finally after all these formalities and payment of 50 Rs. you will get an activated Photon+ Dongle from Tata.

^ yes and thats only valid if you buy it from carriers who mention free tata photon dongle...
where as on LB they havent mentioned anything about the dongle..

Hi.......I had ordered the funbook online on 13 Apr 2012 from Ncarry (fully paid by card at the order placement itself)..........the expected shipment day was 20 Apr 2012........readin tenida's experience i tried to call the customer care........no1 picked up........till today status was awaiting dispatch..........but thankfully they have updated the status to "All Items Dispatched".....they have provided a shipment tracking no. and an IMEI no of the device..........hopefully it will come in a day or two's time.........

S

If you buy Fun book(it doesn't matters where you buy it from)you will get Tata Photon+ dongle for sure..!

he didnt anywhere said LB ships defective products..
may be u understood it in a different way..

Ya,actually i was lucky to get that pyjama in one day

arey dont get attracted by tata photon...its ****..

S

Rajan,i know it's ****..
That's why they have tied up with Micromax Fun book,so that they can succeed in their mission of looting and fooling people by their so-called "3G"

So we can order from anywhere to get this product and we will get Tata photon from Tata service for sure whether the website mention or not about free Tata Photon.

Micromax Mobiles Brand Stores| Mobile Phones in India

hello everybody
i got my pantel 701r few days back and then this funbook was launched so i sold pantel within 2 days and booked funbook on ncarry for 6499.
i received my piece on 16th and have been playing with it since then.
i read people are facing some problems with google play.
well mine came preinstalled with google market and after connecting to internet and singing in say within an hour it asked for update.
after update it was google play and its working flawless since then.
as far as tata photon is concerned it doesnt matter where you buy the product this scheme coupon is provided by micromax which comes inside the package.
but i find the scheme totally rubbish cause you got to pay 500 for activation and handling charges and then you have to select post paid plans only and that too if it is a gb plans to avail 1gb free per month for two months.
now post paid minimum 1gb plan is 650 /mth so you pay 500+650+650=1800 and you get 2gb/mth free for two months.
go to a store and you get device for 1100 recharge with prepaid 300 and you get 6gb for 1st mth so you pay 1400 for 6gb 1st month and next month recharge as per your requirment.

R

People can use several other options before spending 1800 (500+650+650) for a tata photon connection........im suggesting two options:

A) Use an android phone and create a hotspot........also if u use vodafone as ur cellular service provider......they have an awsome plan of 3GB 3G data for 2months at Rs. 850........there are oder plans too

B) If you use a laptop and have access to a wired internet connection..........install softwares like connectify (free) and create a hotspot that will enable you to share internet connection over WiFi.

Guys today, I went to the Micromax service center. And with their wifi connection, google play opens without any problem in my funbook. So, I thought that my wifi router has some problem. But some miracle has happened, now G. play is also opening with my wifi connection.

Now, I am looking for a tablet for a friend who is in a budget. But confused between the following two:
Micromax Funbook v/s HCL ME U1 Tablet

Specifications of both of the tablets are somewhat similar, with a big difference. Funbook have a 2800 mAh battery as opposed to 3600 mAh battery of HCL Me U1.

Can anyone comment how much of a difference of 800 mAh really makes! Need to decide on the tablet soon.

Now, I am looking for a tablet for a friend who is in a budget. But confused between the following two:
Micromax Funbook v/s HCL ME U1 Tablet

Specifications of both of the tablets are somewhat similar, with a big difference. Funbook have a 2800 mAh battery as opposed to 3600 mAh battery of HCL Me U1.

Can anyone comment how much of a difference of 800 mAh really makes! Need to decide on the tablet soon.

Thanks Vyom.

About the tab, Micromax Fun Book has all thing positive only the battery is the problem(still you can get 4hours battery life easily). But the HCL ME U1 has not got positive rating by Digit Team
Check the review of HCl ME U1

hey tenida, e book reading rendering problem solved completely ? what other problem u think there is with e book reading here ? (screen too bright/dim fonts not displayed properly or anything else.... )

Ebook reading with Document to go app cause no problem at all. Screen is very bright and vibrant. With 30% brightness its enough for me.

Can anybody review chrome browser in funbook

I checked with Dolphin HD browser, the website scrolling is smooth and pinch-zoom is also working superbly. Dolphin-HD is far better than the stock ICS4 browser.

hey..
i bought a micromax phone (q5)
its trackball ended within 4 months , searched for service centres , found one , but the persons there say " micromax does give payment to us.. so we are no longer there service centres , though we'll repair it for rs 600..
had to finally give rs 500 to a local guy to change the track ball..

i'm a bit confused that should i go for micromax or not..
i think many of you are using this funbook.
can you please tell whether there is any difficulty till now (with the screen or any other thing)

hi guys
can anyone suggest a good ram booster or task killer for funbook
i have tried many they all boost but within minitues services i am not using stopped get restarted and ram is back to square one.
secondly is there drivers available for bluetooth, my main aim is to attach a bt dongle for bt headphones.
thanks

I know Advanced Task Killer by ReChild. Been using it on my phone, should work fine on ICS as well.

I

still waiting for full review by tenida....

Plz try to make list of all games - routine and motion sensing hd - which are working fine with Funbook.

I'd also like to know if it can open large (>100mb) PDF files with ease? I read a lot of ebooks and mags.

hey Tenida, please confirm how your are using net on this tab...

does the 2g usb modem works with this..

Guys another review of the Funbook by iGyaan Micromax Funbook Unboxing and Hands on Review - YouTube, its not the full review, just to clear doubts about browsing (used chrome) and pinch to zoom. check it out.

Its not possible for me to review everyone's suggested game, still I will try. What 100MB pdf file!! sorry I don't have such file.

M

it has a 512 mb ram..

the android + 2 low level apps + pdf reader running will still leave you with enough ram space to view a 100 mb pdf file without any problem..

THIS IS JUST MY OPINION. PLEASE CHECK WITH OTHER FORUM GUYS.

i had 3 MM mobles till now , q5 , q55 (bling) and x360..

both worked flawlessly untill i wrecked them

q5 went good for a year.. after that trackball gave me problems , went to MM service centre they replaced it fr 200rs..
and my frnds track ball was replaced fr free ( it was under warranty)..
(actually trackball starts giving problems because all the moist , dust from our hands coughts up in the seal and it fails to work )
had quite a positive experience from them ...

Ok got you.

I have been kinda trolled!!

I had ordered COD for Funbook from Snapdeal on 13th, and then ordered from Ebay, since they said that they'll ship by 21st, now coz of not getting the stocks, ebay seller could not ship the funbook and hence i'll get my refund in 5 working days! Yesterday i got a mail from Snapdeal saying, sorry your order has been delayed (this was the first mail i had got, except the one that you get post order, and i had not received any confirmation call!! Oh yes i didnt) So i thought the order has been cancelled, and today i got a mail saying your order has been shipped, expected delivery date 24th

LOL!

Crazy people, crazy me!

Would have got two Funbooks

Hi. Sorry for not being a regular here.
First and foremost, I have tried using Reliance Netconnect+ dongle without any success, using all possible tips and tricks to use USB dongles on Tabs. I guess MMX FB is locked to Tata. Furthermore, if you check the box/bill, the device has a SIM no. also. Plus the Tata offer leaflet says something about activating the tablet or so. So maybe MMX has tied up with Tata to keep the device locked to one operator. I doubt it, but Reliance dongle freezes the device.

Secondly, am reading Tintin comics using the Aldiko reader.. Works like a charm.

PS: Temple run is great. Also try MotoRacer. Skype works like a breeze, but the other person can't see my video, though i can see them.

My review of the funbook:

Bought from Ncarry.com.......although their helplines don't work.......the shipment came to my doorstep before the promised deadline.......6 days to be precise......(the shipments originate from gurgaon.......i live in mumbai).....packing wasn't all tht bad either....

Battery Life - 4 hrs easy

Screen brightness - no complaints.....its no ipad but hell u can watch videos and read lonng ebooks without straining ur eyes.....

Sound - great

Touch interface - no issues......(again its no ipad......but its as good as the one in samsung galaxy ace smartphone if i have to make a comparison)

Build - sturdy......glossy finish......its a fingerprint magnet

Google Play - Market is installed and updates to google play on first use......one must use a good internet connection.....else he will get a connection timed out error......this happens in all android devices

Camera - VGA good enough fr video chatting......it renders good enough clarity.....but u will have to sit in a very well lit area to get the best experience

Mic - as seen in a video tht mic is absent......its got a mic inbuilt......can also record audio using an app which is preloaded in the tablet

Softwares:
Its got some useless micromax softwares.....im gonna remove em.
It also has Adobe reader, Adobe Flash Player, Document editor, all the essential google apps, an ebook reader, audio player, HD video player.....
U can very well use this tablet widout installing new apps.....ur basic needs are well covered.....ok one exception......no FB app u will have to download this app on ur own

Browser - bad......but one can install better browsers like opera, mozilla from google play......

Special note fr ebooks: Its good to read, but many a times the source you are reading from has small font or a lot of white space in the borders because of which one has to zoom in/out constantly which quite frankly is painful in any tablet........instead i will recommend to use softwares like caibre and convert your text file (pdf,doc,docx,htm,etc....) to epub format........now wen u read the ebook in epub frmat all these hassles of zoomin in/out are gone n u get a sharp/crisp text view without zooming

Suggestions:
1. Buy an ipod headset.......no headfones are provided wid the tablet.
2. Install a microSD card but only a class 6 or class 10 variant to keep the speeds high
3. Do not buy tata photon dongle......u can instead create hotspots using an android smartfone or laptop
4. Hunt fr a scratch guard and a cover fr the tablet.....jus to keep it as good as new freva.

Yes but there are ways to get around it *wink*..

.. is that so hard, dont keep it if u dont like piracy.. ive been asking since the day this tablet got released :/

BTW: Is the Tablet Prerooted ??? Does SetCPU work in the Native Kernel

You can remove rom integrated apps using Titanium Backup Pro if u have root access.. even if you dont, they can be removed using adb..
Test adb too while you are at it
(Sorry if I sound demanding, but im just too excited to order mine :O)

Although class 4 card is enough for it. But still if you want, you can buy Sandisk 16Gb class 6 card.

Btw. I have order a Sandisk 16Gb micro-sd card(class 4) from flipkart.

Cool buddy, will opt for it! Will look for one in the retail market tomorrow, else will order this!

How about the screen guard and cover tenida ? Those are two of the urgent things i need!

Also a worry for me is, not so great speed that i get through my datacard, using an aircel sim, how will i be able to update market to play store, it'll also be my first exp wid android!! Excited and nervy

There is nothing mentioned about the warranty of the mem card on Flipkart, i understand that this can be a lame question, but still!

Another lame one, what's with this Mobile Ultra Micro SD HC I :O Elaboration may help!

Don't worry even if Flipkart doesn't mention it, there will be a warranty.
Mobile Ultra Micro SDHC is a class 6 Micro SD card, that means it has a write speed of about 6MB/s and read speed of ~30MB/s. A class 4 Micro SD card has a write speed of about 4MB/s . class 6 is usually meant for devices that can capture HD videos or that can play back HD videos(in HD resolution).
In case of the Funbook a class 4 will be more than sufficient, even if you used a class 6 there wouldn't be any difference in performance. the only difference you'll notice is when you transfer files from your PC to the Micro SD card i.e class 4 will take little more time than class 6.

hey guys 1 more query ..
is there any nokiq pc suite app for this tab coz i want to tether it to connect to internet..
any other way to connect my phone to use internet on funbook..

If it had GPS i would have definitely purchased it for my car entertainment , sadly it doesnt . Can you guys please mention any cheap tablet with GPS function ?

Which phone do you use?

In case you use Nokia S60v3, s60v5, anna or belle, I have a fantastic way.

Joikuspot - It turns your phone as wifi hotspot. You can than use your phone's 2G/3G GPRS in your wifi enabled devices including funbook. Premium and Free versions are available. I currently use it, works like charm with my laptop and nokia s60v3 phone.

That leads us on to a short summary of what to use to create wi-fi hotspot:

1. If you use Nokia Phone (S60v3, s60v5, anna or belle) - Use Joikuspot - premium and free
2. If you use Android Phone - Stock Android has capability to create a wifi hotspot.
3. If you use Windows Laptop - Connectify.me can be very useful though you can always create in-built ad-hoc wi-fi network.

@rohan_mhtr you can use google maps with internet to get same features of GPS.

sadly i use nokia 5230 symbian s60 v5 got 3G but no wifi...

reading this thread since a few days and decided to join nice review tenida and rahul.

people round here being asking for games a lot.

guys most games work and no one can test all the games u say gta3(it runs on my dell xcd 35 which has a lower processor and gpu) and all will run well.

shadowgun which 2 or 3 users asked might have problem but chainfire should fix it but it still might have lags.

regarding root access i read its pre rooted so u guys just need to install superuser from the market and u get full root access and removing it or hiding it from the app drawer no one will notice it(i replaced a rooted micromax a70 :razz:

without anyone saying a thing).yes but the superuser script will remain there (and those inefficient micromax guys will never notice it even if u dont hide your superuser most of them think its just a app.)

R

Hope I am not spoiling the thread, just wanted to say don't rush on getting the funbook..veedee might come out with a great tab..Vi10 is a pretty good tab, might be launched early next month..

Tenida said:

Hello,

Hope my first post will be useful to every one. I'm glad i own this device and happy with it. I'm going to tell you guys how to install clockworkmod recovery 5 on micromax tablet. Most of us knows CM9 and CWM Recovery builds released for Allwinner tablets in XDA developers. Though it is still in testing phase it works well. Follow below steps to install clockworkmod recovery.

1. Download sources from Here
2. unzip and copy files to sdcard.
3. Run "sh /sdcard/install-recovery.sh" from shell (adb).
4. Reboot device using "sh /sdcard/reboot-recovery.sh"
5. Thats it you are in.

Now you can install custom rom's or CM9. Also you can delete all unwanted education files and apps using titanium backup or disable using app manger. I also suggest you to install GAPPS ICS latest build.

Thats all for today. Shoot your questions. I will try to answer as much i can.

Regards,
Rajesh

To all those who are waiting to get the mm funbook i would like to say there are far more better options at this price. Few of the best tabs are provided by veedee (dot) in . FB has low battery capacity and lot of bloatware along with it and also it comes locked to tata photon since this is a chinese re branding i don't think any developers on xda or other forums would come up for porting custom roms for this device. The best alternatives for FB i would recommend you is :

1.) Buy Pre Order VeeDee D10s - 7" Capacitive Touch Screen Tablet • VeedeeDirect

2.)Buy Pre-Booking - Veedee D10e - 7" Capacitive Screen Tablet PC • VeedeeDirect

The major advantages are of using any modem you like it comes with the stock ics and no bloatware installed and one of the main advantage is of the full usb 2.0 port with which you can connect the pendrive directly without need of carrying etc cable with you and there are no hardware buttons which makes the tab look even cooler. VeeDee has very good support i am using D10 at present and satisfied by its performance they have pick and drop facility which when compared to micromax service center is far more better.

If you want even more you shell out an extra 1.5k and get the "Zenithink-ZT-282" at Buy Zenithink ZT-282 C71+ Tablet PC 7 Inch Cortex A9 Android 4.0 HDMI 4 GB 1GB Ram • VeedeeDirect
Which has 1GB of ram and a better processor.

If you have any questions regarding both veedee or mm FB you can mail me at itzmez02 (at) gmail (dot) com. :mrgreen:

Hope my opinion was useful to someone ! :wink:

I was waiting for the tablet to come in flipkart.When i contacted flipkart customer care even they are not sure about when it will be in stock.And the expected availability in local markets too is unclear.So I am thinking of getting it from snapdeal.What do you guys think about this?.I have purchased only from fk before and had already cancelled my funbook from ncarry since COD was not available at my area.

^ Snapdeal is a pretty good choice, it was my first time with them, when i ordered Funbook, the packaging was exquisite!

V

^^ In how many days did you receive the tab and did you use COD?

It will take maximum 3-4 days. Go for it.

sent from micromax funbook lol

Do any one have 5% discount coupon (Snapdeal) ??? :-?

Had a horrible experience from Tradus.in,
Once ordered a Pen Drive from Tradus,firstly they didn't delivered the product upto 5 days,then i got a phone call that the product is out of stock, sorry for the in-convince.

Just wanted to share my same kind of experience here with Tradus...
I ordered a pen drive and it was faulty out of the box ( was not getting detected on any system ), when i contacted customer care they plainly said warranty is not their concern and i will have to contact SanDisk service center ....

Sorry for going off-topic in "TaniDa's FUNBOOK " thread :razz:

Booked Funbook COD, on 14th, Shipped on 20th, Delivered on 21st!

Where did you place the order ?

SahilAr said:
You have to carry the product id and necessary documents including Invoice of Fun book with you and you have to submit these to Tata Company and finally after all these formalities and payment of 50 Rs. you will get an activated Photon+ Dongle from Tata.

What is the usage limit and validity ?

^^ Snapdeal.com'
As of the photon + charges, its 500+100. You'll get five POSTPAID plans to choose from.

so officially , any data card* will work with Funbook , check , Tenida's review page for more details ( thx alot srm_harish for your fine discovery)

To all those who are waiting to get the mm funbook i would like to say there are far more better options at this price. Few of the best tabs are provided by veedee (dot) in . FB has low battery capacity and lot of bloatware along with it and also it comes locked to tata photon since this is a chinese re branding i don't think any developers on xda or other forums would come up for porting custom roms for this device. The best alternatives for FB i would recommend you is :

1.) Buy Pre Order VeeDee D10s - 7" Capacitive Touch Screen Tablet VeedeeDirect

2.)Buy Pre-Booking - Veedee D10e - 7" Capacitive Screen Tablet PC VeedeeDirect

The major advantages are of using any modem you like it comes with the stock ics and no bloatware installed and one of the main advantage is of the full usb 2.0 port with which you can connect the pendrive directly without need of carrying etc cable with you and there are no hardware buttons which makes the tab look even cooler. VeeDee has very good support i am using D10 at present and satisfied by its performance they have pick and drop facility which when compared to micromax service center is far more better.

If you want even more you shell out an extra 1.5k and get the "Zenithink-ZT-282" at Buy Zenithink ZT-282 C71+ Tablet PC 7 Inch Cortex A9 Android 4.0 HDMI 4 GB 1GB Ram VeedeeDirect
Which has 1GB of ram and a better processor.

If you have any questions regarding both veedee or mm FB you can mail me at itzmez02 (at) gmail (dot) com.

Hope my opinion was useful to someone !

Checked their listing on ebay that said no shipping to West Bengal. So no option left.

SanDisk Memory Card Mobile Ultra 16 GB Class 6 out for delivery! !

Flipkart is way too awesome!

Flipkart is best. Just got my 16GB micro-sd card.

Here's the pics

Just check out the difference between plans from Reliance Netconnect+ and Tata Photon+, Netconnect+ is far better in terms of value for money.

You get 10GB of data download at 3.1 Mbps and post 10GB with a speed of 144Kbps for INR 950+taxes, while the same in Photon+ costs 1200+taxes!

You'll get Photon+ with the device is a myth, you'll get Photon+ under an offer is the reality!

500+100(activation) are to be paid to get the device, and then you need to choose out of the 5 postpaid plans, 250 being the cheapest for 350MB, while 900 being the costliest of the 5 giving 6GB of data per month.

The 1GB thing for two months means, you'll get 1GB extra in the plan you choose, for first two months.

So, after paying 600 to get the device, you'll pay your postpaid bill as well after a month., thus accounting for atleast 900 for the first month.

While if you add up, 300, you get a value for money Netconnect+ for 1200 with usage free for first month and better and VFM plans to choose from.

PS: You need, to continue with the selected plan for photon+ for atleast 3 months, before you can change to anyother plans.

u r comparing them but do they both work with fun book??

btw making other dongles work could be as easy as copy and pasting files from veedee to fun book's /system.

Finally purchased Veedee D10 from ebay (for my friend) after talking to seller to deliver it to WB.

*www.ebay.in/itm/Veedee-D10-Capacit...d-4-0-Cortex-A10-MID-WIFI-1080P-/120895836078

Yeah, both of them work, check tenida's review thread! Even, my unlocked idea net setter works with funbook!

Micromax Fun Book will be available at Mobile Store from 28th April.

Micromax Funbook (4GB Internal Memory) + Free Tata Photon Plus 3G, black - The Mobile Store: Buy Online at Lowest Prices in India - Mobile Phones, Tablets, Cell Phones, Accessories, Batteries, Bluetooth, Chargers and more

A

am new to tablet and android both.
bought my micromax funbook tab from snapdeal.
i have comics in digital cbr format on a pendrive. how could i use the micromax to read the comics. i did try to use calibre to convert them into epub format and then use the pre-loaded ebook reader of the funbook but the pendrive was not accessible through the app. in file manager i tried to open the epub directly in filemanager and that also failed under any option that i selected.
would somebody please help me.
tnx in advance.

Considering me a noob at android, can you guys tell me, whats with the 4Gig internal memory ?
How is it divided between ROM and the actual internal storage ?

Secondly, most of the 1.8GB internal space, micromax labs have taken more or less, 80-90% of space, i am not even able to install apps now.

Thirdly, i have a 16Gig card mounted now, how is it possible to move apps into there ?
Installed as well as new ones.

Fourthly, this is about the Funbook, whenever on charge, the device is barely usable, the touch is next to impossible to use, any escape out or fix ?

Fifthly, Chrome did not start, so i did a factory reset, will it help, will just try and update about the same.

Any veedee d10 owner here?

I faced this kind of problem with my Galaxy Y when I was in train going to friend's wedding in UP. Whenever I plugged it in train charging socket phone start charging but impossible to use touchscreen. Finally I realize its sure to voltage input difference as rated power input for charger is 150 to 300 volts AC but train socket only gives only 110 V AC output. So when unplugged my device start work normally but when plugged start acting weird.

PS: Please check your charger, or get it to service center. Maybe voltage problem from charger point our charging point of Funbook.

hey guys! has anybody noticed the glitch with the touch response while the device is charging? if not, then please put your device on charge and do some web browsing for about 15 mins....or mayb, it's just with my device

Enticer & tenida, how about you people as well ? ? Mine, becomes barely usable, the touch and at times the device acted weird!

how is this ?

avichandana20000 said:

never heard of this Attitude brand, how is their service ?

even i have not heard of them. no idea about ASS. But specs are lucrative IMO.

If you want a camera, better battery, but low brightness and risk to opt for a newer brand, than, it's perfect for the budget

@ Varun, for charging issue try with USB too and see if the same problem or not.

Same happened with me. The touch screen acted kinda weird while charging, must be the problem with the os.

Maybe problem with voltage as I said I faced in Galaxy Y. But here it maybe with charge point inside Tab as it happening with both source during charging.

Those who are facing issues with touchscreen problems did u try contactng micromax servce centers?

I hv read in this thread that huawei 1550 usb dongle working with this tab so i want to know do we have to do some setting in the usb dongle using pc? also pls write the names of dongle working with this tab?

Just had a word with the micromax customer care at 011-44770000, they took all the details(product id, name, mail id, purchased from, delivery date), and told me, that the funbook, works pretty fine on charging, you are facing this issue, because of a faulty charger, you can go to the service center and get it replaced!

Will, do that today

Yeah, i had tested it out, but now once i have made a factory reset, i am not able to save the APN, so cant use the device now, will try and get it fixed, when i go to the service center today.
For the steps, you may check out tenida's review thread, second last post on page 1

So its issue related with voltage finally with charger but when its from charger then why its still disturbing when using USB charger with PC?

I

any one tried DSLR Controller app with this tab.? anyone with canon dslr here ? i m planning to get samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1 (when it releases) considering tat i can use it with my dslr. if MMFB does that job then i can buy my fav galaxy note or s3 with this TAB? also is there any 10 inch chinese or indian tab ?

manoj_299 said:

That is what i thought, so instead of hit and trying, thought, will take the cable as well, and check it out, there itself.

^^Good..Hope the issue gets resolved soon.

I'm thinking of buying funbook from snapdeal pls tell me some generic code i hv generic code of seventymm.com but the tab is out of stock.

Can you tell me where it's available online [only best shopping sites] ?

I have been following this tread for a while n tenida's review made me to buy it,so here's my take:

Micromax tablet is a genuine copy of ployo momo9
or iview760t, i just confirmed it today, i installed
clockwork recovery for allwinner a10 tablets and it
worked then i tried cm9 for allwinner a10 it worked
too, but it was just in beta stage, so i scrapted it
and download firmware of iview760t straight from their site and installed it with livesuite and viola! it
worked perfectly, it was a huge risk but it worked
and now i have no bloatwares or micromax crap, its
totally unbranded, no logos etc in inside. Advantages of using iview760t firmware- 1)Free ram is almost 180 mb.
2)3 gb free space.
3)Fast tablet.
4)No cheap micromax boot logo, or any micromax
shortcuts on hs.
5)Phone is recongnised as samsung galaxy s2 in play , and all games are compatible. Any above all, i can go back to my previous state,
with one click through clockwork recovery. Now, i am trying to make the tablet detect phone in
pc suite and run net through it, through my
observations, i have observed that, ics for a10 has
some bug which does not let create apn’s, so now i
m going to try ginger bread for allwinner a10, will
keep u guys updated

Charley said:

Do they have replacement guarantee ?

I checked Flipkart, but item out of stock.

Charley said:

Don't know. If you can wait then Mobilestore will stock Funbook in your location.
______________________________________________________________

Ok I've fixed the weird problem related to charging. The stock charger is the
culprit here. I have a used an old LG charger which works like a charm, no problem whatsoever.

Note the stock charger has
Input- 100v-240V/ 50-60Hz
Output- 5V _ 1.5A

And I have used LG charger which specs is
Input- 100v-240V/ 50-60Hz
Output- 5V-1A

So, try to use charger that has ampere lower than 1.5 (1A or lesser will be best)

But Varun said problem with USB charging too. USB give only 0.5 Amp output.

I am not facing any problem with USB charging.

Also that stock usb cable is also faulty for me. I am using Canon camera's data cable.

Went to the service center today, they have placed a request, will get the charger by monday since it is out of stock.

Tenida, i'll recheck with my cable, i doubt micromax have saved up a lot on the accessory part!

"funbook" emblem will appeared on boot screen and then screen turns to pink and blue lines and then froze....this time i restarted it again , but this time it froze on micromax emblem itself during booting......i tried atleast 100 times but it keeps freezing in booting itself .... reset key did not do any help either .......i called authorised service centre in my city and came to know they were on vacation :evil:

this is because they all use the same hardware.and doesn't have bluetooth and gps etc which can differentiate them.
all the tablet manufacturers using allwinner a10 are using same hardware so u can go from one to other firmware.

try nxg a10 firmware it got a huge list of supported dongles.

because it got the same hardware u cant say its manufactured by momo or something like that.

trying these firmwares the most bad state will be when your touch wont work or the wifi because these are the only things that can be changed.

if u want to know the correct manufacturer or oem of this device check the build.prop use root explorer to check it and u will find it in /system

@Tenida Are you ordering Tata Photon+? Can't decide should I get it or not!!

Btw funbook seems tp be laggy sometimes, but I can understand, its default problem of Android

But I'm happy about the performance of video!! Full HD videos works flawlessly, I'm amazed to see that it doesn't even lag while forwarding seek bar which even doesn't works flawlessly in vlc in many great configurations!

Ofcourse bluetooth and gps is what I'll miss but at this price I'm completely satisfied

D

Any ideas how to test as to the battery is really a 2800mAh or any other rating ? one of the reasons that i ditched funbook (no offence to mmfb fans ;-)

) was the battery which is 2800mah and NXG a10 tab having a 3600mah rated battery. though I am unable to really test the battery backup consistently. Any app's ?

Thanks,

No, I am not opting for the Tata Photon offer. Postpaid plain triggering me to choose it.

Well few members ordered it from snapdeal. But personally I don't trust snapdeal for products. For coupons it's fine. But many members faced problem with products.

So it's up to you.

Charley said:

I called up the customer care one day regarding an issue, so the question they asked me is, where did you buy tha tablet from, nCarry or Snapdeal!!

May be that answers the legit-ability of Snapdeal, even it was a first time for me, getting the tab from Snapdeal, but it was worth it. I had also ordered from ebay, got my money refunded in about 7-8 days, as the seller could not dispatch the product coz of unavailability!

And moreover you get an option for COD.

batman said:
I ordered my funbook from snapdeal.Should get it by next week.Is there any case/pouch that can be used with this tablet?

Nope, No pouch or case is provided with it.

Hey folks anyone bought Carry case for Micromax Funbook. If yes, which one??

krishnandu.sarkar said:

Any compatible ones available in the market?..Technically speaking we may able to use the pouch/carry case for any 7 inch tablet right?

Yup, you can always look at amzer for cases.

batman said:

Charlie ... they are saying no for ncarry because members in this forum had very bad experience with their delivery n service... so thats why ....

and about color i would say it should be ur personal choice ...

BTW Here's the back panel view of MM Funbook requested by @Tenida. Though I already PM'ed him, but still posting here if anyone else need to judge...

*i.imgur.com/8JGKo.jpg

@Charley- Don't buy from ncarry, I have worst expensive with them. By my experience, I can say you its India's most unprofessional online store ever. I don't get why Micromax has given them as official distributor for MMX Funbook, they even deleted the facebook fan page because mass complaining from customer about not getting the device in proper time.

Also they don't pickup call or reply to mail.

Just bought a reliance 3G sim with a plan of 950/- per month.
7.2Mbps until 10GB, 144Kbps post it.

Time to experience some real high speed!

We are waiting mate!!!!

Done!

Phew! It was my first time tweaking with android! Feels good! Will now come to the changes i am experiencing :

Pros :

1. The Micromax branding is out of the way from the boot screen to mlabs!
2. Internal space available is 2.16GB out of the 2.17GB!! WOW!!

3. The device is now recognized in the Play Store as an SG SII or if you want, the ALLWINNER MOD lets you change it.
4. The device is snappier and smooth, with lots of essential apps pre-installed as well!
5. A few more Gapps installed like People, Currents etc.

Benchmarking scores :

AnTuTu : 2983 (tenida got 2947 in his review)
Neocore : 57.3 FPS (same as tenida)
Quadrant : 1776 (1679 was the score in iGyaan review)

Temporarily have reverted back to the original firmware, since the unlocked dongle was not working because, everytime i tapped on Mobile Network, got an error saying, Mobile Network has stopped working!

Will see and wait for the fix!

PS : For those interested to flash, check this

Nice..!! So we already started getting Custom ROM's for MM Funbook

About screenshot app. just type in google play you will find many such free app.
And post your feedback about battery life, browsing experience, video playback.Also tell us is there any bugs in the custom rom??

There is no major difference in terms of playback and such things, will update about the battery life, which again depends on the usage.

For the screenshots, i'll rather ask you to watch the tutorial video, it is all of the same here.

Thanks Tenida! It was this thread which had made me aware about Funbook about a week back and today I'm a proud owner of Micromax Funbook. It's my first android device and have been getting a feel of it for last few hours.

I had ordered it on 28th April and received it today afternoon. Fabulous service by SnapDeal.

Thanks again.

Nothing as such, must have been a coincidence i am sure. Even the charger i have works well some times and other times, makes tab unusable.

It is actually how loose the charger is connected with the socket.

Yeah, to run PS,X60 & PC games, there is an app you may download. Search Onlive in the Playstore.

mate i tested the tab during USB charging .....no issues found,no random touch,no hang ups,no restarting,nothing....so i think it was the wall socket charger who was creating trouble.do you got the replacement of it??????? and one more thing,if we charge the tab using the USB then how much time it will take to get fully charged.

Ok I've fixed the weird problem related to charging. The stock charger is the
culprit here. I have a used an old LG charger which works like a charm, no problem whatsoever.

Note the stock charger has
Input- 100v-240V/ 50-60Hz
Output- 5V _ 1.5A

And I have used LG charger which specs is
Input- 100v-240V/ 50-60Hz
Output- 5V-1A

So, try to use charger that has ampere lower than 1.5 (1A or lesser will be best)

As told in earlier post, the charger is actually the culprit. No, I am not opting for replacement as the replacement charger will also same. Btw. I am using old LG charger which works fine for me.

Tenida said:
Don't confuse mate, its far far better tab than its price. It can play Dirt3 also so you can think how powerful is this.

Can you post a closed & opened screenshot of your tablet in this case, please ? I like this one.

Tenida said:
Yeah Flipkart is most trusted online seller in India. We can trust flipkart blindly

Do they have such items ?

varunparakh said:
Done!

Phew! It was my first time tweaking with android! Feels good! Will now come to the changes i am experiencing :

Pros :

1. The Micromax branding is out of the way from the boot screen to mlabs!
2. Internal space available is 2.16GB out of the 2.17GB!! WOW!!
3. The device is now recognized in the Play Store as an SG SII or if you want, the ALLWINNER MOD lets you change it.
4. The device is snappier and smooth, with lots of essential apps pre-installed as well!
5. A few more Gapps installed like People, Currents etc.

Benchmarking scores :

AnTuTu : 2983 (tenida got 2947 in his review)
Neocore : 57.3 FPS (same as tenida)
Quadrant : 1776 (1679 was the score in iGyaan review)

Temporarily have reverted back to the original firmware, since the unlocked dongle was not working because, everytime i tapped on Mobile Network, got an error saying, Mobile Network has stopped working!

Will see and wait for the fix!

PS : For those interested to flash, check this

Score are different at different time of test. Sometimes difference is bigger

thinking to buy this tablet can i use my bsnl EVDO with it?

B

My screen rotation problem got solved on its own..But at times it takes some time to respond to the rotation..Anyway lets see how it goes..

So you mean CM9 available for Funbook..??

Well CWM is necessary to take backup of Stock ROM.

So that if we messed up with Custom ROM we can go back to Stock ROM anytime.

What is CWM &CM9?

manoj_299 said:
What is CWM &CM9?

Its ClockworkMod Recovery 5 used to recover stock ROM.

Paylaram said:
just ordered a few minutes back from snapdeal.

Good added

CWM = ClockWorkMod. ClockworkMod

Recovery is image (binary data) stored in internal memory. This image contains something like "program" maybe better say "tool", which can boot-up independently on Android system. In other words, when this tool is running (booted up), than Android system is not. This tool is part of phone system, and in PC terminology recovery can by compared to BIOS with some added features. This recovery state can be reached on all phone, but if you don't have custom recovery, it will do so-called HW reset and automatically restart itself into standard boot mode. So what is difference between original recovery and custom recovery? Custom recovery didn't call master reset after start and also didn't restart itself.

CM9 = Cyanogen Mod 9. CyanogenMod | Android Community Rom based on Gingerbread

CyanogenMod is an aftermarket firmware for a number of cell phones based on the open-source Android operating system. It offers features not found in the official Android based firmwares of vendors of these cell phones.

Custom ROM is every somehow changed manufacturer's ROM or ROM compiled from source code of Android. "Change/s" can starts with adding/removing default application and can extend to kernels, cpu over/under-clocking, enable/disable features (ROOT, HW acceleration, ...), themes (frameworks, color, ...), keyboards and many other features.
Custom ROM is mostly distributed like signed ZIP package with included installation script for custom recovery. This ZIP is flashed via custom recovery tool.

You should opt for replacement as the dead pixel will get bigger and bigger, Its like virus.

Dude i think we need to start thread against Snapdeal.....at least for now,we should stop td members...who are buying from snapdeal.....as every second buyer is getting damaged product.

I am ordering right now on SnapDeal. Is there any coupon code, I can use ?

Ya,a thread against snapdeal should be started about returns/replacements as snapdeal sucks big time in return/replacement cases!
Also,in that thread it would be good to mention that they should "REaLlY" check/verify the product many times before packing it rather than directly dispatching the product and deliver it!!

Charley said:

Oh, what is the other option ?

Charley,no coupons for snapdeal.
Also,i have the same question what is another option as i have already seen that letsbuy,flipkart and ncarry don't have stock left for fun book anymore!
So what's the option left now?

@Tenida See this is why I didn't recommended Snapdeal at the very beginning. I have saw many members having problem with getting products from them.

They are trustworthy at coupons, but for products many members had problems before too.

So if possible AVOID SNAPDEAL.

See if you are lucky enough, everything will be fine, but that doesn't mean everyone will be lucky.

I thought twas something with the screen guard, i see two very small white dots, when the screen is complete black (like, when a game begins or loads).

thanks tenida. thanks a lot for the RG cellular info as well. I got a call from them, will visit tomorrow.

any other advice about what to pick up ? earphones, carry case etc ?

also, I need to cancel the snapdeal order. how to do it ? do I have to call ?

Got my funbook today morning, snapdeal shipped it on the said date, but bluedart was kinda slow (took 3-4 days). nways there doesn't seem to be any defect with the device itself, but while charging it acts weird and is not usable at times :-?

, haven't tried charging through USB yet.
funny thing is that I ordered a pouch through ebay and I got that 2 days ago..

and got the funbook only today...

Nice

Congrats

Hoho you are palaram how are you?? :))

You can buy carry case like mine from Golpark roadside mobile pouch store.
And any good earphone from phillips or other brand. But for skype calling you need earphone with mic support as this tab doesn't has mic inbuild.

Just send a mail to snapdeal support about cancelling of your order. If they also send the parcel don't receive it. Buying locally is always better as you can check the tab before giving the money to the shopkeeper. But for online dealer you can't do anything apart from waiting for their response if the device found defective.

The charging issue is the same with everyone, it is coz of the charger, which does not fix in as well in the socket as other chargers, also because most of us do not have proper earthing in our houses.

And you also use Freenote app to write like in Samsung Note in Micromax Funbook

Had contacted Micromax service centre, the replacement charger is awaiting for me, at the service centre, but i find no use of geting it replace now, as some times when the socket is plugged in well, it works fine while other times in a loose socket it doesnt, so will be with the replaced charger.

As of the USB, it gets worsened for me, coz may be the earthing isnt all that proper here, so at times my metallic body HP lappy, gives me a lil shock when i touch on the edges while standing on the floor bare footed. So i am sure, the usb problem is coz of the same.

the magnetic clasp is hard to close once the tab is inside, but it won't fall out, its a tight fit.

It depends upon which games you are playing. Still I think you will get around 3-4 hours of battery life.

Guys how are you moving your apps to the SD card? anyone using "App 2 SD" app?

Personally I am doing it by going to settings->apps->>selecting the app and then selecting move to sd card

Finally got my SD Card today and Flashed Custom ROM successfully

All I can say is it feels much smoother now. Laggyness has reduced to much extent.

Just check howz the battery backup, video playback, web browsing in custom rom.

My friend got funbook today for 7k local shop.
I got BSNL EVDO Prithvi model. He bring it to me today for just checking weather it is working or not. I just put EVDO modem in that OTG cable and light is blinking on modem. :wink:

Now just before I could just add settings , funbook suddenly turned off. :evil:

Now we trying to push power button hard but it is not opening.
Lastly we connected the charger and voila it started.

Now my ques is anybody had ever faced this problem? I googled this problem and one person had faced same problem with tata photon.

Any solution for this ?
Thank in advanced.

^ yep gotta test video chat from yahoo or Gtalk..
skype is giving red lines onthe other side ..
someone plz check and confirm

P

thanks. I will check them out.

hey what is the total ram amount present out of 512 and how much amount is free normally ?

I checked skype funbook to desktop confirm getting red and blue lines with hazy picture on the desktop while on funbook I was getting good feed.
Tried fring not working

Solved prob of screen while charging
Got my charger replaced yesterday from service center, there It looked working fine but today again screen started the same dance. I have noticed that this happens while charging and when battery is nearing full. Atleast that's the case with mine. Don't have any other charger matching this pin size so borrowed from a friend lg 2330 charger. Its 5v 800 ma works perfect with funbook.
Took both the chargers to my local cellphone repair shop to find wtf is problem. Now funbook charger was giving 5.45v and lg showed 5.05v. With my consent he broke open my charger and attached voltage ic 7805 which now regulated output voltage to 5v. Charged 50 bucks now all working well. Charger is attached now while I m typing. So guys either get an lg charger or get yours repaired before you fry your battery or funbook. Getting a replacment is not solving anything. BÛT CAREFULL GUYS THE MOMENT YOU GET YOUR CHARGER OPENED YOU WILL LOOSE WARRANTY ON IT.

Ok there are few good news...
1. The videi chat problem is only with skype. Tango and Yahoo Messenger worked fine

No pink lines. So its not a hardware problem.

2. Browsing is much smoother on this ROM. Presently posting this from funbook (not from tapatalk).

3. Audio from speaker much louder now. To avoid confusion I have tested same videos. So now a group of friends can easily watch movie without any need o headphone /earphone.

any ph no available ? can't seem to find them on net.

guys please update first post with custom ROM's and procedure to install

@Krishnandu, which ROM u are using? Won't it void FB warranty?

@manoj_99 I'm on Momo9 4.0.3 ICS Firmware. Yes it'll ofcourse void warranty. But you can always revert back Stock OS if you need to warranty.

@karthikoli Yeah, I'll post steps today for Flashing Custom ROM.

Steps for Flashing CUSTOM RECOVERY + CUSTOM ROM + SCRIPTS

Disclaimer: I am in no way responsible if you damage, ruin, brick, etc. your device if you flash any of the unofficial firmware, updates, patches and mods.

Read The Instructions Carefully Before Proceeding. You can always ask if the steps are not clear instead of proceeding with your guess.

Flashing Stuff may void your warranty. I or TDF is no way responsible for that. Think before proceeding.

Though you may flash back original firmware if at any point of time you need to claim warranty, but at your own risk. So this statement is not at all official

Ok, so let us begin...!!

Here are the steps that we'll follow...

1. Install Custom Recovery
2. Backup Stock ROM / Present ROM
3. Flash Custom ROM
4. Install Scripts
5. Modding your ROM with Allwinner Mod

Source : IVIEW 760TPC (a.k.a. Ployer Momo9) Firmware & ROM Releases

Detailed Youtube Video Tutorial : IVIEW 760TPC Advanced Improvements - Flashing Firmware, Custom Scripts & more - YouTube

XDA Thread : [Q] Micromax Fun Book Development? - xda-developers

Android Forums Section : Micromax FunBook - Android Forums

Those who are new to this Android and Flashing thing, I'd recommend to read [READ FIRST] [REF] Dictionary for n00b - What is.../What does ...mean? (2011/01/17) - xda-developers to understand the terms / jargon's.

INSTALLING CUSTOM RECOVERY

1. Download CWM Recovery 5 ICS.zip
2. Extract it.

These are the requirements fo Flash CWM...
- tablet must be running Android ICS version (4.0.x)
- tablet must have Superuser installed with SU binary loaded
- tablet must have Debugging enabled (ADB drivers included)

Your Funbook is Pre-Rooted, so we'll just proceed with installing Superuser App from Market

3. Go to Play Store and download Superuser.
4. Go to Superuser App > Settings > Su Binary > Install the Binary
5. Reboot.

Now we'll enable USB Debugging

6. Go to Settings > Developer Options > Turn On USB Debugging.

Now we'll increase the screen timeout to prevent screen from getting turned off in the middle of these procedures

7. Go to Settings > Display > Select Never at Sleep.

8. So now connect the USB Cable to your PC and Funbook and you should see USB Debugging Connected notification.

At this point, if this is your first time, you may see Windows trying to find Drivers which will fail ofcourse. Go to Device Management [Press Windows Key + R > Type devmgmt.msc] > Right Click on Unknown Devices > Update Driver Software > Browse My Computer for Driver Software > Both 64bit [Drivers-AllwinnerA10-64bits] and 32bit [Drivers-AllwinnerA10-32bits] Drivers are provided there within a folder named ADB_Drivers under the Recovery Package, so just browse them according to your OS Specification. A screen may appear up saying "The Publisher of this Driver could not be verified", just ignore that and "Continue Anyway".

9. DO NOT TURN ON USB STORAGE. LEAVE IT AS IT IS.

Time to install CWM. There are two methods. One is easy, by running a script and another is using ADB by typing commands. You'll get an _Instructions.txt there which lists both the methods in case you want to try out the 2nd method. Here I'll only cover the easy one i.e. using Script.

10. Run recovery-install.bat [Windows] / recovery-install.sh [Linux] and press any key and just wait and watch the show

11. Within few mins recovery will be installed.

To reboot in Recovery Mode -> Press Options Key and by keeping it pressed, Press Power Key. Release Power Key and then Release Options Key.

12. Reboot.

Code:

|                                                     |
| VOL+: up                                            |
| VOL-: down                                          |
| POWER: select                                       |
| BACK: back                                          |
=======================================================

BACKUP STOCK ROM / PRESENT ROM

It's always recommended to backup Stock ROM or Present ROM that you are on, before trying New ROM's. Because if at any point if anything goes wrong you can revert back to where you were. Though this is an optional step, but I highly recommend this step if you don't want to left out in the middle of nowhere.

1. Boot in to Custom Recovery.

To reboot in Recovery Mode -> Press Options Key and by keeping it pressed, Press Power Key. Release Power Key and then Release Options Key.

Code:

=======================================================
|      How to control ClockworkMod Recovery 5         |
|                                                     |
| VOL+: up                                            |
| VOL-: down                                          |
| POWER: select                                       |
| BACK: back                                          |
=======================================================

2. Go to Backup And Restore.

You must have a SD Card to Backup your ROM. Though there is an option to backup your ROM to Internal SD Card. But generally there is not much space left in the Internal SD Card to backup a ROM.

3. Choose Backup.

4. Wait for few mins untill the backup is complete.

5. Once the backup is complete, select Reboot System Now to reboot normally.

6. Connect the Tablet to PC using the USB Cable provided and Turn on USB Storage when prompted.

7. Browse the SD Card through PC and navigate to [SD Card Drive]/clockworkmod/backup.

8. You'll see a folder there named upon the Date and Time of the backup.

9. For security purpose keep a copy of that folder to your PC.

10. That's it..!! Lets go and flash Custom ROM now

FLASHING CUSTOM ROM [.img]

WARNING : Again I'm repeating, read this guide first. If you have any doubt ask me / read the guide again / watch the video / read instructions again. But don't proceed if you have any doubt.

1. Download the ROM.

I'll show up this example with Momo9 ROM which I'm using presently. Grab it from 4.0.3-97F1-D1-H2-H01-N413.20120314.part1.rar and 4.0.3-97F1-D1-H2-H01-N413.20120314.part2.rar and extract. You'll end up getting an .img file.

2. Download Live Suite : LiveSuite 1.07 x86 x64.zip and extract.

3. Go to the LiveSuite extracted Folder and start the LiveSuite.exe

4. Click Select Img button and select the .img file [ROM] you extracted.

5. Turn off your Tablet.

6. Plug the USB Cable to PC.

7. Press and hold the Vol+ button, and keeping it pressed connect the other end of the USB Cable to Funbook.

8. Keeping the Vol+ button pressed, press Power button 10 times fast.

Read steps 5-8 again if it's still not clear

Goto to step 12 if it's not the first time you are flashing Funbook

9. If this is your first time, you'd have to install drivers. Your PC will automatically start finding drivers which will fail.

Drivers are included in the livesuite folder

10. Press Win + R > type devmgmt.msc > Right Click on Unknown Devices > Update Driver Software > Browse Driver Software From My PC > Browse the 32bit / 64bit Drivers under LiveSuite folder as per your OS Specification.

11. A screen will appear saying "Publisher of the driver could not be verified". Just ignore that and press "Continue Anyway" and wait until the driver installation finishes up.

12. A screen will appear on screen asking for Mandatory Format, answer with Yes.

13. Again a confirmation screen will appear, answer Yes.

14. Now just wait until the process is Finished.

DON'T DISCONNECT USB CABLE IN THE MIDDLE OF FLASHING. DOING THAT MAY BRICK YOUR DEVICE.

15. Once the Upgrade is Completed, click Ok to exit.

Start your Device to enjoy the New Custom ROM

Here's a list of ROM's which you may try : Virtual Productions - Qware Pro 3 - Downloads

INSTALLING SCRIPTS

Note : This step is highly recommended, as it update GAPPS, Frameworks, Fix Multitouch Issue etc.

1. Download eyeoncomputers_script_ver5b_ics4.0.3.zip and extract.

2. Increase Display timeout from Settings > Display > Select Never at Sleep.

3. Turn on Unknown Sources from Settings > Security > Unknown Sources.

4. Turn on USB Debugging from Settings > Developer Options > USB Debugging.

5. Plug the USB Cable to PC and Funbook.

6. You may need to install ADB Drivers if this is your first time.

At this point, if this is your first time, you may see Windows trying to find Drivers which will fail ofcourse. Go to Device Management [Press Windows Key + R > Type devmgmt.msc] > Right Click on Unknown Devices > Update Driver Software > Browse My Computer for Driver Software > Both 64bit [Drivers-AllwinnerA10-64bits] and 32bit [Drivers-AllwinnerA10-32bits] Drivers are provided there within a folder named ADB_Drivers under the Recovery Package, so just browse them according to your OS Specification. A screen may appear up saying "The Publisher of this Driver could not be verified", just ignore that and "Continue Anyway".

7. DO NOT TURN ON USB STORAGE.

8. Go to eyeoncomputers_script_ver5b_ics4.0.3 folder that you extracted.

9. Run fullmarket.bat and press any key

10. Choose 1 [Complete Installation]. Recommended for first time i.e. if you are running this script first time after flashing a new rom choose 1 always.

11. Don't Panic or touch anything, if you see market and other apps keeps crashing / stopping. That's Normal.

12. After it completes everything automatically, it'll ask for installing essential apps. I'd say press y and install those. Many of those apps will be needed. You may later remove any app later if you think it's not needed.

13. Finally it asks for If you would like to disable phone services to save battery.

Disabling Phone Services will also disable Data, i.e. you won't be able to use Dongles like Tata Photon+, Reliance Netconnect etc.

14. Answer Yes or No, depending upon your preferences.

15. Finally press any key, and the tablet will reboot automatically and the screen will close

That's all, your tablet completely ready to use

Don't forget to revert back the Sleep settings to 1min.

MODDING YOUR ROM

A. Advanced WiFi Lock

1. An app named Advanced WiFi Lock has been installed.

2. Enable it if you don't want to get your device into sleep mode if WiFi is on.

3. I do not recommend Enabling that, as the device will be awake all the time thus eating much more battery.

B. Allwinner Mod

1, An app named Allwinner Mod has been installed.

2. You can choose Usage Style i.e. 120dpi [TABLET], 160dpi [LARGE PHONE], 240dpi [SMALL PHONE]. I recommend keeping it as it is i.e. 120dpi [TABLET]

3. You may choose fake build type, like ICS Allwinner Tablet, SGS i9000, SGS II i9100, Honeycomb Motorola Xoom etc. I recommend selecting SGS 2 here to unlock max market apps.

4. That's all, restart the device to apply changes.

At this point, after you flashed the Custom ROM, your Custom Recovery will be erased. So if you want to flash / try out another ROM, you may like to backup this ROM before trying new one. In that case Install Custom Recovery again.

Finally, nothing can be better than a live video. If you have time do watch it. It shows every single thing as step by step.

Happy Flashing

Note : I'm not the one to find all these things. So the person is eyeoncomputer who deserves the thanks. Thanks to XDA, Android Forums, TDF or anyone who find these links for the first time which helped us modding our tablet. Sources are included in the very first post.

Should I buy the funbook from snapdeal?
I have read 2-3 people have received defective products...please recommend

I wanted to buy from flipkart but it is in outofstock from 2 weeks.
Is the better to wait because there is absolutely no news of instock in any other place

Skype for ICS - Tested, No pink lines!
Skype-2.5.0.160-ICS-Compatible.apk

Good to see, more and more people have now flashed their devices. EyeonComputers has been instrumental, looking for his next release, which he says should be out by the weekend!

EDIT : Downloading Gameloft MC3 files, will let you know about the performance tomorrow

If you are not facing screen touch problem perhaps you are one of few lucky guys with good charger. Anyways get your charger volts checked at any cell repair shop with good digital multimeter, it should not give above 5.1 v max. Compatible charger I know is lg 2330 charger. Take your charger to local shop and ask for genuine lg charger matching the pin and with rating of 5.0 v 800 ma. Its available in my local shop for rs 350

Funbook available in delhi local shop for rs 6800. Recomend thoes in delhi to buy from local shop, worth spending 300 more if you get peace of mind as you r able to check the product before buying.

I was thinking of buying a matching connector for my nokia charger(5V 890mA) and use it to charge the tab.There won't be any compatibility issues right?

Successfully tested Gameloft Modern Combat 3 - The Fallen Nation, minor lags while loading (that should not be taken into account), the game play is smooth, the control are pretty good. All in all super fun to play, especially for those who love FPS games.

.

Got some weird color mismatched strip at the top sometimes in the game, must be a glitch coz of a cracked game.

Next up, will try out my fav Fifa series, Fifa 12 ie

I'll add it to the first page once it gets completed.

I'd say add those sources too, as eyeoncomputer is the one who deserves all these. I'm just following his video.

Great. I'm doing this from that URL only. That's the source. This URL was already posted in the previous posts.

That should do if you get a connector and charger is genuine nokia. Cause nokia pin uses inside positive.

I have got my Funbook from Ebay, i think around 3 weeks back. As i was out of my home i did not use it for 2 weeks this week i was playing with this and noticed some dot/wave like effect on the screen, generally you see this kind of behavior when you press hard on the Screen with your finger. I am seeing this with out that.

Any one faced this problem ?

just immediately take your tablet to the nearby micromax sevice center which u can find from funbook website. Ask them to replace your display, they will do it. I too had some problem with my funbook display and got replaced from service center. dont worry

dear manoj and other members
this is some information I would like to share with you all
amp of charger is not at all of any concern.IT only guides what max load your charger can take.so 1.5 amp charger should be better than800 ma charger.it only define that the charger would give 5v-2% ie 4.95 v at load of 800ma or1.5 a.But now what micromax has given is charger with 5.4 v which drop to 5v at max load ie when battery is empty.you may feel that charging is fast but actually you are giving high volts which is not good for the battery and tablet.

varunparakh said:

Any words on availability. I can't find it anywhere online except Snapdeal and you people are advising not to order from there. So where should I buy it from?
Is it available in TheMobileStore or should I order it from ncarry?

Has anyone tried voice chat on Gtalk?

I didn't like this version of google talk on funbook. What bothers me mainly is it doesn't have any option to view all online friends under display options

If I can't know who's online then what's the point of providing online chat client!! Lol!!

Good Morning folks!!
I am new to this forum, but I am loving it already.
I just received a Micromax Funbook yesterday, ordered from Snapdeal and received in about 5 days. It was an impulse purchase, thanks in no small part to Tenida's rather excellent review of the same.
However, I am facing a problem. The device refuses to charge. When i keep it plugged in for hours at an end, either through USB or the AC charger, it does not discharge, but no charging either. I tried a hard reset, didnt solve the issue.
When I click on the battery tab in settings, I see the following :

The 1h32m44s time has remained unchanged since yesterday.
What should I do ?

krishnandu.sarkar said:

Its okay , fixed it. I did a 'factory data reset' and Installed the script again. Got Google Play :-D

.I think it crashed the first time script was installed.

and btw which ROM did you install??

Wow putting all the other tablets to shame killer price and very good spec

Flashed my tab successfully (iview page video) as per suggestion. Surprised to see memory (RAM) which is showing appx 300 MB only and not 512. Also CPU clock is coming to 1 GB only. After resetting CPU clock using CpuMasterFree (Installed by eyeoncomputers_script_ver5b_ics4.0.3) to 1.2 GHz not able to install any apps from Google Play (Package error).

Any suggestion.

Also can anyone please suggest how to revert back to original ROM (taken backup using Clock Recovery MOD) and then remove root access.

I am looking out the possible ways of getting wireless internet through USB dongle. Micromax gave only option to buy TATA photon plus and that too EC156 dongle, it don't look like a good option.
I have seen so many videos on Youtube telling you can connect any other 3G stick with FB, Can some one list out the possible dongles that are compatable with FB, so that i can buy. I already have TATA photon plus EC152 this is not getting detected :cry:

This hardware is not intend to run ICS. Atleast 1GB RAM is needed.

Anyway, you can flash Custom ROM's to get rid of this laggyness. Though that would also be laggy but much less than this Stock ROM.

3 Drives..?? :O Can we have a screenshot of the drive contents of all the 3 drives..??

As per my knowledge it should show 2 drives, one is internal SD Card another is External SD Card.

Though Internal SD Card is divided into two parts, one for storage use and another for Internal ROM use.

Well it's connectify. And it makes your laptop WiFi receiver works as transmitter (i.e. Access Point) so other WiFi device can use that Access Point to get internet connection.

Note : Your WiFi Card on Laptop must support this. Ofcourse a software can't hard-change your receiving hardware to work as transmitter.

Why would anybody use that software when you can just create an Ad-hoc network?

Android doesnt detect adhoc wifi natively. It only detects infrastructure wifi mode.. There is a wifi supplicant hack for android but I dont know if it works in the tab (it should though).. If your computer has windows vista or xp, or your wifi card is old, then it wont support infrastructure mode broadcasting, and hence no connectify for you

welcome to faulty charger club
get lg 2330 genuine charger or get your charger fitted with ic 7805.tried it and working well since then. if you plan to get your charger repaired then the ic is very easly available at repair shop and he will know how to fit it otherwise i can guide or you can always google it.

Thank you.

Been following this forum for a week now. Got my fb just yesterday. have been trying to check if it has any of the problems that many have reported here. Can anyone suggest what I should be checking for?

Also the folder mlabs is around 1.5 Gigs. Can I delete it? What is it for?

Is this useful or worth buying?

hey!! i got the got my funbook two days back, I have noticed few issues.
1. it kinda runs out of memory.
2. lags many times.
3. No option for video chat in gtalk.

Please let me know your inputs, is there a way to fix the lag and delay in response.

Is there a way to clean all the cache!!

Thanks in advance

* New Android User---

well ics with 512mb ram will be bit low in memory
lagging can be controlled if on initial startup u give at least 2 min for loading
[and remember you paid 6500]
avoid livewallpaper
still feels laggy install seepu and see how your processor is behaving. maybe some process is not allowing it to rest.
get atk by rechild for clearing cache

Sorry experts if this is a repeat question.

Wanted to know if anyone was successful using a 3G dongle other than the Tata Photon one with Funbook without rooting. If yes whats it the way? I'm looking to connect my Reliance Netconnect dongle with Funbook.

Yes, please check the thread. Many members had made Reliance Netconnect to work properly.

Well, go to Superuser app > Preferences > Su Binary, which should be set to null, now tap it and it'll check for updates and install it after it found an update..!!

look for touch response while charging.look for dead spots on screen.as for mlabs it contains movie and some video clips.some useless installer files.so copy the movie and video to extsd open mlabs app and see all instals there if nothing of your choice delete it.

Good. Just one problem, I am unable to secure right side elastic lock because its overlapping the power button. So, its better to not use that lock. You will not face any problem though. Three elastic lock is enough to secure the tablet

Hi friends .....
Can anyone tell which online sites is best to buy FB- MMX
1) Saholic
2) Snap Deal
3) ncarry (no option as i have read previous posts)

IN whole of gujarat it has not been launched in any stores checked evrywhr so only online option is left for me

P

news : only 120 FB's have been sold by micromax in kolkata through stores so far.

techlover said:

Well it's Ok-ish type.

ICS is not intend to run on this hardware. 1GB RAM should be the min. requirement for ICS. Too much laggy to work on. Simply watching Movies / Reading E-books won't be a problem. Don't expect multitasking.

Build Quality I'd say it's all plastic. Looks fine but may be it won't survive after few drops and rough handling.

Steps for Flashing CUSTOM RECOVERY + CUSTOM ROM + SCRIPTS

Ok, so let us begin...!!

Here are the steps that we'll follow...

1. Install Custom Recovery
2. Backup Stock ROM / Present ROM
3. Flash Custom ROM
4. Install Scripts
5. Modding your ROM with Allwinner Mod

Those who are new to this Android and Flashing thing, I'd recommend to read [READ FIRST] [REF] Dictionary for n00b - What is.../What does ...mean? (2011/01/17) - xda-developers to understand the terms / jargon's.

INSTALLING CUSTOM RECOVERY
1. Download CWM Recovery 5 ICS.zip
2. Extract it.

These are the requirements fo Flash CWM...
- tablet must be running Android ICS version (4.0.x)
- tablet must have Superuser installed with SU binary loaded
- tablet must have Debugging enabled (ADB drivers included)

Your Funbook is Pre-Rooted, so we'll just proceed with installing Superuser App from Market

3. Go to Play Store and download Superuser.
4. Go to Superuser App > Settings > Su Binary > Install the Binary
5. Reboot.

Now we'll enable USB Debugging

6. Go to Settings > Developer Options > Turn On USB Debugging.

Now we'll increase the screen timeout to prevent screen from getting turned off in the middle of these procedures

7. Go to Settings > Display > Select Never at Sleep.

8. So now connect the USB Cable to your PC and Funbook and you should see USB Debugging Connected notification.

At this point, if this is your first time, you may see Windows trying to find Drivers which will fail ofcourse. Go to Device Management [Press Windows Key + R > Type devmgmt.msc] > Right Click on Unknown Devices > Update Driver Software > Browse My Computer for Driver Software > Both 64bit [Drivers-AllwinnerA10-64bits] and 32bit [Drivers-AllwinnerA10-32bits] Drivers are provided there within a folder named ADB_Drivers under the Recovery Package, so just browse them according to your OS Specification. A screen may appear up saying "The Publisher of this Driver could not be verified", just ignore that and "Continue Anyway".

9. DO NOT TURN ON USB STORAGE. LEAVE IT AS IT IS.

Time to install CWM. There are two methods. One is easy, by running a script and another is using ADB by typing commands. You'll get an _Instructions.txt there which lists both the methods in case you want to try out the 2nd method. Here I'll only cover the easy one i.e. using Script.

10. Run recovery-install.bat [Windows] / recovery-install.sh [Linux] and press any key and just wait and watch the show

11. Within few mins recovery will be installed.

To reboot in Recovery Mode -> Press Options Key and by keeping it pressed, Press Power Key. Release Power Key and then Release Options Key.

12. Reboot.

So I can use any charger of 5 Volt and Amperage doesn't matter? Do high amp charger charge the battery faster? And low amp charger charge slower as PC USB port is low amp charger @ 0.5 amp.

If the battery is capable of drawing more current(which it should), having a higher current rating should lead to faster charging..
Even if you get a charger with lower current rating, nothing will happen to your tab, but the charger might overheat..

Hi,

Gone through the posts and have seen that some members were successful in connecting 3G dongles other than Photon +. I have Micromax MMX 352G & Vodafone K3570-Z usb data cards with Reliance 3G sim but was unsuccessful in connecting with those. I've also flashed with custom ROM 4.0.3-97F1-D1-H2-H01-N413.20120314, but still not successful in connecting. The apn field is blank and I cannot add/save a new one. Can any one help me out please.

Other than this I have found this device to be awesome in such low price tag.

Thanks in advance..

Hey Guys,

Its going to be more than 20 days since i started to use Fun Book... It is my first android device and i am really impressed with its withstanding capability..

Below i am narrating my experience of using Fun book.. it will be useful for the one who is planning to buy this tablet.

1. Battery: Batter capacity is awesome.. In standby mode, its coming for more than 5 days i did not use the tablet. By playing games, watching movies & Browsing its coming for more than 7 hrs for me. With Full charge, i have seen one complete movie (Bruce Almighty) and 2 hrs of continuous browsing & Game about 1 hr after this also i had batter about 63%(Downloaded app to know the batter %)

2. Display: It has LCD display so side views are not so good.. but if u r viewing it in straight, then everything will be fine.

3. Apps: There are lots of applications available in the Play store for this Fun book. Really awesome, i have downloaded most of the game and application and it was working fine without any lag..

4. Interface: ICS interface has some bugs like when we use Google chat for making calls it crashes... other than that everything is fine..Within this 20 days it lags only twice or thrice...

5. Internet experience: Internet is awesome in FB.. Native browser works fine and i have also downloaded Opera... so every thing is good in this about browsing.. now i have stopped using lap top for my day to day browsing and started to use this tablet.

Forgot to mention one thing.. it supports Reliance net connect apart from Tata photon.. for internet browsing i use Reliance as well as Hot spot from my phone.. I use Nokia E-5, in that i use Joiku spot for sharing the internet.

:lol:

I love this Tablet... but i am not getting a good cover for this.. but i have seen Tenida bought a good for this and i am planning to buy it...

I am not aware of what is rooting and what are all the advantages of it.. Can some one in this forum help me to understand it pls ?

Hey Tenida.. Special thanks for you for creating such a wonderfull forum for this fun book.

guys,

I'm in a dilemma.Will be great if you help me.

I bought a funbook directly from Micromax's website. It arrived today afternoon. The packaging was fine and no tampering of the seal. It was a gift to my parents so that they can video chat with my sister.

1) Installed Skype from the play Store (v 2.8.xx)
2) Tried to initiate a video chat, but doesn't work. Says i need to enable the option. Did that in the settings. Same thing.
3)The camera works fine by taking snaps.
4) the google talk app does not support video chat.

My questions are, do you have a master setting to enable video chat ? as i could'nt find one.

Do I have to root the device and install Skype v 2.5 to enable video chat ?

Do we have any third party apps that support gtalk video chat ?

Or is my device defective ? Should i go to the service center ?

Would be very helpful if you guys help me out. Thanks in advance.

What help do you need?? You can check my review before getting the tab. Btw. viewing angle in LCD is not that great. For better viewing angle you have to buy tablet with IPS panel display which is very costly.

I have seen so many suggestions on Tablet Cases. The one Tendia posted seems to be good (that homeshoppe one). I am not sure if any one have tried others if yes can you guy post the pics, it will be helpful

Like Blackberry Playbook has a TFT LCD Screen and also most mobiles have a TFT LCD screen ...and the viewing angle is somewhat okay in all ...u can watch movies sideways too
Is it pretty much fine in funbook as well? I know i'm paying just 6500 for the tab and i should not expect many things from the tab

And i have read your Tenida ...Its great!

Have you observed some kind of bubbling out in your tab like they observed in the Igyaan.in review?

Guys share your fav. app you used in Micromax Funbook. :razz:

Update on my Funbook not charging issue :

Went to MM's service center in Pune (Solara International, also services HTCs). They insisted on a bill with my name and the product serial number in order to take it forward, both of which Snapdeal does not provide in its printed invoice. After a bit of haggling, they finally did take it in. For all those purchasing from Snapdeal , please do consider this point while purchasing.

Heres how I got around the bill issue. Stuck a spare sticker of the product code on the invoice and emailed them. :razz:

*i.imgur.com/N1VHA.jpg

Note : It doesnt contain my name or anything else about the product.

Coming back to the problem at hand, the lady technician insisted it could be a motherboard issue, while I guess it is a battery issue. They will check both of these and will get back to me.

Too much of a hassle not expected from a new device!! :evil:

Hi,

When I tried to add a SanDisk Memory Card (Mobile Ultra 32 GB Class 6 SDHC I) fundoob says 'damaged card'. I tried to format it and it didn't work. I am not sure if I inserted the card right into the tablet. Wasn't sure how far to push in. Is there a 'click' sound I should wait for? Or is the card really damaged? Got it from flipkart. Please Help.

Thanks.

ram use on ics
this is what i found by consulting diff reviews on ics developers.
comparing ics with 1gb and 512mb ram. you will always have 20% of min ram free with you ie 200mb in 1gb and 100mb in 512mb ram approx. ics will try and utilise 70% of ram with apps data and os. on reaching about 80% it will automatically clear ram for further use on fifo basis. so after few days of usage you will end up with ram filled upto 70% with apps you use mostly. that will be about 700mb and 350mb resp. this is how multitasking is better in 1gb. i feel there is no need for any task cleaner because if it cleans the task and clear ram then ics will again fill it up. you would just endup working the processsor for no use.

Test the 32 GB micro-SD card in other devices like card reader or mobile. Or you can insert any spare micro-SD card that you will find in mobile phone.

Its like Gingerbread i.e 2.3 Android OS (like Windows XP) runs better on 512 MB ram and ICS i.e Android 4.0 (like Windows 7) runs better on 1GB of RAM

In China the tablet with 1Gb of RAM costs only 129$( Ainol Nova7 Mars) and here it's hell expensive. China people are very lucky

i feel there is no need for any task cleaner because if it cleans the task and clear ram then ics will again fill it up. you would just endup working the processsor for no use.

I have found that my funbook works better if I DO NOT use task killer. I have given up killing tasks after I noticed that lags were more when I used it.

this is nicely documented here:
Task killer ICS? - xda-developers

hi guys got my FB earlier today. (RG cellular)

it is showing authentication problem while connecting to wifi, any idea why ?

also, why does it ask for a micromax login for a whole lot of things ? what is that supposed to be ?

T

RG Cellular? where? .....didnt you checked the product before taking? :O

P

kolkata. well I didn't check everything. may be I should have checked wi-fi.

looking around, seems not an uncommon problem with android. to add to my problems my PC has gone kaput.

Might be its your problem related to your wifi router

P

I am posting this using that wi-fi router.

I have wpa/wpa2 psk encryption, or so funbook tells me. is there anyone who got connected using this encryption?

Can you post the screenshot about that problem

it's a bit of a bother since net's not working.

nothing much to see in screenshot anyway. below the wi-fi name it says 'authenticating...' alternating with 'saved, secured with wpa/wpa2' followed by 'authentication problem'.

p.s. well, the very day I get the funbook, pantel emails me to say that the T-pad is ready.

Am I missing something
you are having auth problem then you say you are using same router.
Anyways most common auth is wpa wpa2 psk I believe95% using this.if your password is correct then it should display obtaining ip address etc and then connected.otherwise it is wrong password or your mac address is missing.

Don't bother about pantel I sold it after using for2 days

Pantel resistive touch is pathetic

P

@jd91, you are missing the fact that I am posting from laptop, not funbook.

anyway, I will check after a few days when my PC is back online.

re : pantel. I know. won't bother replying to them.

But my question to u..what r the improvements after rooting???

I still using stock ROM. Will flash to custom later in this week
By using custom rom:-
Advantage
1) You can enjoy fresh ICS OS
2) No bloatwares or crapwares
3) More stable. Largeness will be at gone at certain extend.
4)Battery backup will be increase
5)Tablet is seen as a Samsung Galaxy S2 so lots of application will be unlocked for Funbook.

plssssssss reply

Your wallpaper needs to 800x960 for a perfect fit.. If you have a wallpaper that is 800 by 480, then extend both its edges with blank space so that its 800x960.. set the wallpaper and disable wallpaper scrolling..

There is no ethernet port in funbook but there is an option for ethernet in the settings, which im unsure of..you can try one of the Ethernet to USB cables but i doubt they will work.. Also, a friend of mine confirmed that using his Motorola SB5101 modem, he was able to connect to internet on his akash tablet using USB..

To change your bootanimation follow this guide\

Finally, got my FB yeterday. Its Awesome!!!

I Luv it.

But there are few issues though:

I tried installing "Raging Thunder 2"

But its not working, it shows "Unfortunately Raging thunder is closed"

I also installed "Frontline Commando", it also shows that it needs network connection for some source or something.

I downloaded the apks from third party site

Note: I have not yet registered the device on "Google Play", as i cannot connect to the Internet. Can this be the prob? But on the other hand, games like ninja fuit, turbo 3d are running fine.

Please help me out. Really want to play good games

Thanks in Advance.

You are absolutely right.. because when u use task killer you are killing some interconnected and required (though u think those are useless) processes..And then android has to restart all those again from start,which in some cases may even eat more battery and leave memory leaks which will produce lags....

Thanks for the link. The Elf II is a killer.... Are there any sellers in India for that one?

$149 is still under 10k in INR so there wud be no customs duty. However, the seller website u posted over there has bad ratings everywhere plus Indian sellers offer service and replacement easily from their end. Any pointers?

The only prob i have is the smaller RAM size and low res. but i guess i can overlook that as u r nt aware of any indian sellers..

Thanks much Tenida. I have verified that the card is fine. It works on the laptop, but fb still refuses to mount it. It says "insert an SD card for mounting" in the 'storage' menu under "EXTSD". I feel like an idiot asking this, but how far should the card be pushed in? I have pushed it in until, it sort of pushes back like a spring. Can someone post instructions for this please?

Click to expand...

hold the card so that connection points facing down and front.insert using say credit card so that card goes in the slot and clears in about 1 mm and you hear a faint click of lock.leave out there and you will see card backing a bit and now your card is about 1/2 mm inside the device frame.

Guys,

I have recently bought a Micromax Funbook. So far it has been good and i am completely happy with the value for money that it provides. However, these are the problems that i am facing. Would require your help to get these sorted out.

1. I have a Reliance Netconnect dongle (Huawei EC1260). Funbook is not recognizing this. I am unable to save a new APN with this. How do i do that?

2. When i boot into recovery (by pressing menu and power), i am unable to navigate using the volume rocker key. Is there any other way?

3. Among the new custom / other ROMs, which ones work with the dongle that i mentioned above? Can you please confirm?

Many thanks in advance.

regards,
Nandi

GUYS NEED A FAVOUR.

I had backed up GoogleServicesFramework.apk and talk.apk from the stock ROM in the Micromax Funbook and replaced them from a ICS ROM. The backup got corrupted and now I'm not able to access Gmail or the Play Store (crashes).

So please, can someone share the above files from the stock ROM.

Hi guys, finally got time to spend with my tablet.
Noticed a few changes after modding:
1. Temple Run stopped working - after googling a bit I found the cure is hitting the "back" key while in game
2. Can install yahoo messenger video chat plugin now (however the video chats still do not work- any idea why?)

means you will have to ship it to them in case of any issues. That costs around Rs100. So it has essentially a 3 month warranty.

I had kept a pattern Generator for my security Purpose.
I tried to unlocked by the pattern i had recorded but it said that unproper pattern.
After that it is asking for my gmail ID & password. I give you my ID and password so that you can verify that i have not forgot my ID & password, but device is telling incorrect.
Now the problem is that local service centre people are too rude and they are not having skilled technician.
In front of me he took my tablet and went to nearby samsung service centre to show him.
That person damaged my charging port and opend my device and i know very well that the kid(technician) would have done severe damage to other parts as well.
Over that they told me, to keep ny device there and they dont knw how much days they can take to update the software.
Over that i asked them to give me approxiamte time to mend it.
They said they dont know..!!!
I told them i would complain to the company for it.
They said, "Ap se jo hota hai vo kar lo"
What to do ?
Same mail i have sent to company..
What to do... plz any1 tell me how shud i proceed?? Shud i flash it by my self?? These people are also asking for 400 Rs..

@d3b Yes Funbook comes with screenguard. Well for pouch, please check this thread, there are many links that have been already shared by our members.

In my opinion you may flash the device yourself.

But ofcourse you should mail the company about your experience. Because if service center people damages something, that's the responsibility of their company.

I think it is some software for transferring files..Something like a media manager..But you wont need it..You can directly transfer files to memory card by connecting to PC and enabling USB storage on in the tablet.

I tried w/o selecting one but I keep getting options for CD rom. in the final step it was looking for a file with .inf extension and couldn't identify drivers in ADB folder.

p.s. in my computer the device shows up as 3 separate removable disks with labels I, J and K.

Can you please post a screenshot..??

I'm using Windows 7 and not aware of this thing.

Well 3 drives are normal, One for Internal ROM, 2nd one for Internal SD Card, 3rd one is the Ext. SD Card.

Finally yesterday evening ordered my first android device MM FB with MM mi-fi router...

shutdown when using USB cable

This is for folks suffering from funbook shutdown when using min USB to USB cable provided by micromax.

The metal shield around the USB pins in funbook is connected to ground (-ve). In the cable, the shield is connected to +ve pin. So when you insert the cable, this creates a short between +ve and -ve and funbook shuts down. As a temporary fix I wrapped a layer of cello tape around the shield on the cable so that it does not make contact with the shield on funbook USB socket. Now it works perfectly. Be careful when inserting the cable, otherwise cello tape will move/tear and it'll short.

I'm not sure this is a fault with all the cables or only a few people have this problem. I felt the problem was intermittent in the initial days and became worse later. It takes a little longer to shutdown if you are charging. Not sure if that was the case when I tried earlier or the short in the cable got worse later.

Also got a USB GPS module working with funbook. Had to compile cdc-acm kernel module for that. More on that later.

My first order related to Domo case for Funbook was good. It took me about 3 days to ship it to my location. But I am facing problem on my 2nd order. After waiting for 7 days my order still not dispatched. Submitted a ticket too, but still not received any mail from them. Pretty bad service I guess.

Still you have better option:
Funbook is available at Flipkart or you can also buy locally from R.G Cellular or M.D Computers.(Kolkata)

Time to install CWM. There are two methods. One is easy, by running a script and another is using ADB by typing commands. You'll get an _Instructions.txt there which lists both the methods in case you want to try out the 2nd method. Here I'll only cover the easy one i.e. using Script.

10. Run recovery-install.bat [Windows] / recovery-install.sh [Linux] and press any key and just wait and watch the show

11. Within few mins recovery will be installed.

To reboot in Recovery Mode -> Press Options Key and by keeping it pressed, Press Power Key. Release Power Key and then Release Options Key.

12. Reboot.

Code:

I finally goy my fun book today.. Enjoying it...

But I can't backup the stock rom, there is option for restoring, but no option of backup...
These are the options I'm getting...
1.reboot system now
2.apply update from external storage
3.wipe data/factory reset
4.wipe cache partition
5.apply update from cache

Where is backup option anyway? I have done all the steps above exactly.

^^Is it showing CWM-Based Recovery v5.5.0.4..??

which shops sells it.Not everyone i suppose.

i dont want to get it from online and repent like others.I want to inspect it first hand before getting it.Thanks to others too for warning about its online purchase.

Well I guess you didn't flashed CWM. You need to flash CWM. Follow the tutorial step by step.

Simply rebooting to Stock Recovery won't help.

First install CWM (Custom) Recovery then boot in to Custom Recovery and forward.

I am having a little problem with MOM9 ROM. Google Play crashes continuously, tried different versions but of no vail. I tried to restore to stock rom using CWM, but restore stopped with error while restoring /system image. Tried restoring with SD/int SD/USB but failed with same error. I have the stock rom back up but of no use. I had my tab stalked completely, then I reinstalled MOM9. Anyone have any solution for this?
Fixing Google Play
Restore stock rom

I strongly advise to use Fun Series ROM v1.

Though I didn't faced any problem with Google Play as you are saying on Momo9 ROM.

Try Settings > Accounts and Sync > Remove the Accounts and signing in again.

BTW Did your ROM backed up correctly..?? Otherwise CWM should not have problem restoring the ROM.

Is there a way to change the boot logo of custom/stock rom? I liked the stock micromax logo. Micromax funbook has two version of boot screens- white and black. Can someone give me the

Another thing, can anyone tell me how to remove CWM, and put stock recovery again on the tab?

Wifi adhoc

Hello everyone. I was planning to buy the funbook today but then I found out ICS doesn't support wifi adhoc. The only way I could access internet on this is through the wifi on my laptop or smartphone. So can anyone tell if there is any other way around this? Also, can installing the custom rom make adhoc wifi work?

Hello everyone. I was planning to buy the funbook today but then I found out ICS doesn't support wifi adhoc. The only way I could access internet on this is through the wifi on my laptop or smartphone. So can anyone tell if there is any other way around this? Also, can installing the custom rom make adhoc wifi work?

I havent tried it myself but see this
[ Solved ] Working 100% - Enable WiFi ad-Hoc Network for both ICS / GB -htc Sensation - xda-developers

I am a noob when it comes to android.. I am surprised to see that my USB keyboard and mouse work flawlessly with FB.. Next thing I am planning is get a HDMI connector to connect to my Benq 24 inch monitor and I got a Android desktop with mouse/keyboard with a very slim CPU...

Playing FL commando was fun with mouse...

so i received funbook from flipkart. will post pics later may be tomorrow.

ok, it's my first android, please tell me something::
(1) my tab is getting a bit warm in the back side, is it normal ? (not exactly too hot, but warminsh).
(2) i have logged into google play, and the phone logged me in, for gmail. now i dont find how to sign out of gmail, how to do this ?
(3) anyone baught a stylus yet ? are those 100-150 rs ones in ebay good ?

Tab getting warm in the back side is normal..No need to worry about that..

Anyone bought this case for funbook?

*www.ebay.in/itm/120920376683?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

I am thinking of buying this one..But want to know the feedback from anyone who has bought this.

Got my funbook yesterday.

I am not able to install CWM.

while updating super user it fails while mounting system as root.

Did you installed Superuser application??

Did you updated Superuser Binary..??

You mean you are having problem while updating Superuser binary..??

Did you turned on USB Debugging..??

installed super user app.
while updating su binary i am getting error.

usb debugging is on

Ok, in that case I'm sorry to say, may be you are the most unlucky one.

Because Funbook comes pre-rooted. May be some problem with your model.

Anyway, no need to worry : Follow Rooting Micromax Funbook easiest way!!!! - xda-developers

If this doesn't work too, there are number of apps in market for rooting try with those.

Also check out if the 1st method doesn't work : Root Micromax Funbook and How to Root Micromax Funbook Tablet

super user says write protection is on !!

It's ok. Try the above methods to root your device first.

I was thinking of getting one after it became such a hit.But now it seems it has different problems with different persons.may be i should think again.

Open Command Prompt with Admin privilege, go to CWM directory,
and enter these commands.

Code:

adb shell
su
chmod 777 /data
chmod 777 /dev/block/nandg

Run recovery-install.bat

DO BACKUP YOUR STOCK ROM in internal memory(intSD) then back up the whole clockworkmod directory to a safe place.

Also, remember one thing, the blue android logo will be there after you apply modded rom even if you restore to the stock rom. And Also CWM will be there, I couldn't find a way to remove CWM and restore stock boot manager after restoring to stock rom using CWM.

Using Fun_Series_v1 now, coz it is fresh and fast.

Above commands are for Unix !!

No you can enter that in windows

Well adb is bundled with CWM, that's why he asked to go to CWM directory.

So you can run these commands. Also you'll be running these commands on adb shell, which you start on windows by typing adb shell.

Hope you understand. d3b also faced the same problem and he fixed it like this.

My Fun book is restarting again and again randomly,please help.

Yes, Custom ROM's improve performance. Provides you much flexibility and choice and options.

But this is not a must. It's upto you, whether you are willing to take the risk and experience something better

BTW Flashed CM9

Will provide feedback once I'm done with my testing

Solved my device lock problem by flashing My funbook with MOMO9 rom..

its snappier and pleasant without all those MM bloatware and bootscreen...

There is so no such problem in MMX FB. All problem fixed with Funseries V1 ROM. And you will not find any android device that didn't have problem.

after a couple of weeks of using FB, man this tab is full VFM !

reads ebooks like a dream, same with music and vids, minimal lag even with stock ROM.

only slightly disappointing thing is the battery back-up, which should improve with custom ROM.

meanwhile, someone please suggest a decent photoviewer. I don't need all bells and whistles but it should be able to flip through all pic files inside a folder, like windows pic viewer does for instance. I have some scanned docs in pic format I need to read. don't have time to convert all of those to pdf. thanks.

VFM means here if you compare with other expensive tab out there not with a toy tablet. Though whether you will buy a tab or not totally depends upon you purpose.
Another thing this tab is not only for browsing facebook. Many more things can be done.

Its far better than buying a cheap smartphone imo.

Guys we are having a GO for the Ainol tornado and the Onda Vi10..prices are lowest ever !

Ainol Tornado (@Rs6500) and Onda Vi10 Elite (@Rs8500) Group order

C

Been lurking this thread a lot, I guess I'll go ahead with the Funbook. Just some final questions.

1. Does it have 5 finger multitouch?
2. Does it run flash? I.e.
3. I hear it's pre rooted. That's awesome. So installing a custom ROM won't void it's warranty?3
4. Any particular issues that would surprise me? I'm buying this for my mom, so I'm not too worried about technicalities. It should just play most games and run apps without issues.
5. Ainol Tornado - is it a better buy? How is Ainol's service in India?

R

I have not used the Ainol Tornado, but generally they have good build quality..the tornado has 1GB RAM and a larger battery(3700mAh) and comes with 1 year pickup and drop warranty..comes at the same price..so i feel its better..

Btw, just a warning, dont buy it from the ebay seller who sells it for Rs6099, it ends up being more than 7k..see this:
bad ebay seller

H Guys...i finally bought the micromax funbook ...I connected my wifi and it says connected in settings...when i try to browse internet, i am not able to open any internet sites....pls help

Anybody from bangalore who can help me with the REliance netconnect+ problem... i am not good at installations and stock ROM's etc.. pls help

Hm, what would be the best source to get the Ainol Tornado?

EDIT: I can't find any service center addresses or contacts for Ainol...any links?

EDIT2: Forget the Tornado, I'll go for the Funbook.

The cheapest I can find is for Rs 6777-400(coupon)=Rs6377 including Photon dongle (But Rs500 extra for activation later).

Any other better offers?

Homeshop18, it has a coupon number on the page for Rs400 off.

Alternatively you can book it from Ebay, with the Fathers day offer you can get a 16GB MicroSD free

@Rajan: Ah, The Tornado is tempting, but I went for the Micromax instead. I'm buying this for my mother, and if the service network is that bad that I can't find addresses or numbers on it's *own* website, then I think it'll be tough for her to solve problems behind my back when I'm away for college.

I went to the TATA Photon shop, they asked to give 500 rs as a deposit (non-married) and 500 for the device. Also they told me after the end of the month a bill would come of 500 rs (monthly subscription).

Also they told me that tata photo is a 2G dongle...

hmmm i bought/received one such stylus 2 days ago. but problem is, either these chepo styluses are not that good or MXFB capacitive screen is not upto the standard..... because, i failed to even draw a straight unbroken line in funbook with the stylus, but the same stylus worked OK in my one of my office colleague's galaxy [something, i did not notice model].

However, my funbook work super with finger touch, i can draw OK with fingers..... no hassle there.

i would suggest to check the stylus locally or if you get it from online , see if you can return it if unsatisfied. also share your experience after you receive this. :-?

C

A quick question.
Has micromax released kernel source code for the funbook?
Micromax has not released source for their other devices preventing development of better kernel and roms like cyanogenmod,aokp,aosp.
Custom roms(modified stock roms) can only go so far to boost performance using scripts and all but the above roms blow that out of the water in terms of performance without all the crap manufacturers fill their phones with(not bloatware that can be removed by rooting)

TATA Photon USB Dongle comes almost free with FB..You will have to give 500 as a handling charges for the dongle. But it gives a 2G network.

I am trying to using the TATA docomo dongle with the FB..will it take the APN automatically or we will have to manually enter the APN. Also let me know what details need to be entered ??

Hello
One problem ..does anyone feel current while charging the funbook with the charger?
I by mistake touched the microusb port(without wearing slippers ) and felt it....later on i checked it with a tester and found out that both the microusb and HDMI port has current while the tablet is charging....same case with anyone else?

same problem here .... any solution????

I have heard about this on another website. Don't remember now.

This sounds like a serious issue. Anyone else confirm this?

BTW, what is the cheapest ongoing offer now? Everywhere it is Rs6499 or similar.

Got one yesterday. So far so good. Battery life doesn't seem to be the greatest. Yet to explore it fully though!!

And, I didn't find any shock while charging.

I don't use the charger that came with it.. we can get better chargers for 40 rupees... I prefer LG charger and USB charging... no probs so far with touch as ppl in this thread mentioned... no issues like this either...

Take it to Service guys..

I don't remember where I read that, but I think I found the cause of the problem.

One reviewer at GSMareana.com wrote

I agree with you, basically there is no problem with the tab, problem occurred due to the wrong charger that comes with each unit. Even you can feel the difference by touching the charger pin when it is on, you can feel the over current flow in the charger head.
Just replace the charger all your problem will be resolved.

Micromax Funbook P300 - User opinions and reviews

I have an LG P500 charger. Will that work?

EDIT: Can any Funbook owner tell me what's the charge voltage/current rating on the device?

And, how is shopping at themobilestore.in website? They are offereing an 8GB SDcard.

^^ DC 5V 1500mA o/p. donno about the polarity of the pin, its not written on charger.

icebags said:

It's a miniUSB charger, right?

My LG charger says 5.1V, 0.7A. Technically it would work, but will require twice the charging time.

blackpearl said:

it's pin charger. (probably 2.5mm) and no, don't use that lower rating lg charger, .... if FB fetches too much current that the supply, then the charger will get hot hot hot.

and may burn too.

^^ FB can't draw more than 0.7A from the charger at 5.1V. So there can be no over current.

BTW, if it's a pin charger, it won't fit anyway.

hmmmm how do you know it draws 0.7A ?

I am using a old LG phone charger.
Specs:-
Model- AC-20W(F)
Input- 100-240VAC
50-60Hz 0.2A
Ouput- 5V_1A

I have no problem using funbook while its charging but faced issue with stock charger.

Guys,

I am a happy user of Micromax FB from the past 7 Days. There is no issue as of now with my tablet. Charging's perfect, Tablet is smooth, Will receive pouch by Monday and everything is awsome with this tablet. FB was beyond my expectation when I bought it.

However, Please let me know if there is any possible chance of enabling the Contacts/People application on my FB? Coz I can see that in my Apps Under settings but there is no ICON in my application list.

If there is no ICON, I will not be able to create, Edit, Delete contacts and I will not be able to use Tango/Viber/Whatsapp. There is no single contacts application from Play Store that is compatible.

Before you answer, I also want to let you know that I want to root the tablet with a new firmware for this small problem of mine because I am More than happy with the Firmware now.

Please respond. I've been breaking my head off from the past 2 days for this.

Tenida said:

The charger that came with Funbook is charging to 100% within 1 and a half hour. I have a LG Cookie Charger which has same specifications that you gave but it is taking around 2-2 and a half hours.

Only problem is if I forget to switch off my FB charger after 2 hrs, It will become very hot.

icebags said:
hmmmm how do you know it draws 0.7A ?

Actually, I was thinking in terms of battery charging, not as a device that draws current to operate. Had it been a USB charger, than 0.7A rating wouldn't have caused problem since USB ports are rated at 500mA max.

But since this has a pin charger, the FB may draw more than 0.7A. In tha case, you are correct. Using the low rating adapter can be unsafe.

^^ FB charges battery while connected to USB. so, you don't really need a wall charger, just get one USB to micro USB converter cable and connect FB with computer when FB is off. it will charge.

expectedly, if you put 5V regulated DC specs of USB to a micro USB plug at the appropriate pins, it will charge FB from that micro USB too, when it's switched off. you will need to go through all the hassle to make arrangements tho.

tenida is using 1A charger, so actual current drawing capacity of FB could be much less than 1.5A, anyways it can't be told just like that without testing.

^^
But if anyone want to use pen drive while charging?? So, the charging port is must.

@tenida, can you suggest a good stylus....I bought one from ebay and it was a crap

and suggest a good app for taking notes too

hapdtop said:

Buy stylus with tip like ball pen.

cant suggest one without checking. the stylus isn't crap, i bought a stylus too from ebay they don't work with FB but they work good with samsung, htc and apple.

its actually FB capacitive screen isn't that responsive, its good for fingers but not good enough for stylus. guess this is the best screen you can come up with ~6.5 k budget.
you may try those branded stylus from belkin or [the company that makes bamboo drawing tablets, forgot name] but they may not work even and you need to make sure you can return them before you buy, cause they are quite expensive.

one thing when i connect my funbook with the usb and turn on the usb storage ...the battery is still not charging ...
dies it only charge when the usb storage is turned off?

A co-worker bought it and I got to use it for some time. Maybe I am used to Gingerbread on my Galaxy Y but ICS felt weird, and the tablet felt cheap and the interface was somewhat sluggish.

Another's buying the 4k Penta TPad. Will post a review of that if I get my hands on it in the lunch break

I'm planning on getting one this week, will be used only for pdfs(lots of books, both study and thrillers) and maybe a few movies/songs to pass time, not much of a gamer.

Anyway those with the charger issue, how the hell do you fix this? Should I order a micro usb cable(I have a wall to usb charger)? I have started to order the accessories(case, memory card, pen drive) and would order the cable if necessary.

^^ isn't the microUSB cable part of the package?

V

Hi all,

I have purchased this Micromax Funbook recently... its working fine the only doubt is why it is showing only 2GB when connected to PC as it should show 4GB as promised? Was it designed in a way that it won't show the internal memory of the funbook and will only show the SD card size?

Also in Storage settings also they haven't designed in easy understandable way... it shows internal storage and give free/used space details.. again below one more time it shows internal storage with free/used space details... how we can distinguish which is SD or internal... first of all the representation 2 times means one for internal memory and other for SD card???? can someone clarify me on this???

Its looks not at all cheap dude(you must be comparing something with Samsung galaxy tab or something

). And about the sluggish UI, you can flash Funbook with custom ROM to fixed all lag.

Got my FB today morning. Had ordered on Friday. Excellent packaging by Flipkart.
And surprise surprise...! They listed a grey one, but sent me a black one.
Black looks much much better than the grey I had earlier (and returned to Snapdeal). This one is a May 2012 manufactured piece. Hopefully, the niggles have been all ironed out.
The rear of the black with its faux carbon fiber effect looks neat.
First impression : Cool. For the price, no complaints at all!
Need to mount the 8GB card I had ordered earlier (also from Flipkart) , and I am good to go!

EDIT : Forgot to add , even the startup screen is now colour on black instead of the colour on white of my earlier FB! So its not just the back panel which has been changed. Overall, this looks better finished. The last wall charger simply disintegrated into 2 pieces when I held it in my hand for the first time. This one looks solid, no such issues.
I hope Micromax keeps tweaking the product and improving it. And when they launch a 10" version , I would again be buying!

Also, anyone knows how many Funbooks MM must have sold till date ? 10k? 20k? Am I way off the mark ?

sajo said:

I had the same firmware loaded into my device, and unfortunately my CWM backup is corrupted. The stock rom I found online is ok, but it includes the android boot logo instead of micromax boot logo. I manually edited the boot screens and changed the white background color to black (well its not exactly the same).
If you backup your rom, if possible please share the backup with us. (Or just the system.ext4.tar file )

@tenida and others:
I need a case(and stand). Can the DOMO nCase B8 set to any viewing angle? I don't really want Domo case for Micromax tablet, but if no other case are good enough, I guess I don't have a choice. Also homeshop18 can not deliver items to my address(don't know why, but Flipkart, Ebay and Snapdeal can :shock:

).

I'm having an issue with this tablet for some days, :evil:

I touch something, and something else get touched and opens. eg, I touched wifi on/off, and the launcher gets pressed. One of my friend having this problem too.

I tried all the roms on this tablet, and found out CyanBook_V0.2 is best(well for me, felt like its my own android tablet). But I love the 2160P Super HD-Player and I could not install it(apk extracted from stock) on CyanBook_V0.2. This was the only reason I'm again living with stock.

Also can anyone tell me any good hdmi cable for this tablet?

SijuS said:

yeah it does, but only while it is charging otherwise it switches off,maybe because of high power requirement by the HDD. i tried a 500 gigs HDD and it worked!

Pat said:
Is there any way to get bluetooth working on this tab? Need it for GPS :S

location services work well with the network triangulation...and even if it had a gps chip it would require a assisted gps service for correct location determination which is the same as network triangulation.

yeah, but it wouldn't show the speed and altitude info.

Hi Guys,

Just wanted to know one thing about Fun book. Does it have Wifi Direct enabled in Funbook?

i heard that ICS 4.0 is equipped with Wifi direct, so i tried to search my fun book for that option

but i am not able to fine anything like that...

Please help

no wifi direct is not present, for wifi direct the wifi card should also be wifi direct compatible. but you can create a ftp server on your funbook and share files via a computer or any file explorer on a mobile device which supports a ftp server.

I ordered my funbook a week back. Was tweaking with it & found the features very useful.

Tenida has provided a great review about Funbook.

My observations about the Funbook (manf date May 2012).
1. Google play already installed....applications can be downloaded easily
2. Works well with tata photon 2G & other Wi-Fi networks
3. I do not find the need for rooting it as many games like temple run runs smooth on ics.
4. The problem is with Skype.....the video is not opening....need to tweak that & install custom ROMs

If you are facing only Skype problem.It has nothing to do with FB .. Its problem with Skype version for ICS. Google it and u will find appropriate version.(Remeber that it is older version. So never update it.)

you need to build or buy a pair of 3D glasses (not the ones used to view the 3D tv) but get the glasses of the same colour combination as mentioned in the 3D mode of the HD player. this is called Anaglyph 3D for more info you can visit *en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaglyph_image

Class 6 is min of 6MBPS Transfer speed and Class 4 is 4MBPS. Bot are same but the speed only differs. Now you choose.

Screen protector is a must because scratches on screen is irreversible while protector can be changed, thus spending couple of hundred bucks will save your costly device.

Bad luck. I guess you can call and check if Flipkart returns that, otherwise, you have to go to a service center.

P.S. I think it may be h/w fault, other user can confirm, especially @Tenida.

I ordered Funbook from Flipkart today. They say that the expected delivery date is 20 June. I had previously ordered many things but got them much before the "EXPECTED DELIVERY DATE".

Can anyone (who bought this from Flipkart) tell me by when they actually received this from the day of placing the order ? I mean not the Expected Delivery Date.

^I ordered FB on Flipkart yesterday. The expected delivery date is 19th.
So will update once I receive it

I don't know. Which one will be available but this one looks very good.

Dear all,

I am planning to buy a FB from flipkart. I have gone through all the 45 pages in this thread and seen all the +ve n -ve reviews by FB users.

So I should go bravely forward with my decision, right?

I also have seen a new video from igyaan, a light comparison with Karbonn smart tab. I request you to watch this video and kindly give your valuable opinions.

BTW, I have ordered it previously on FK. They took 10 days and yet no sign of delivery. They said they are having a problem on Kolkata sites. So, I cancelled the order and gave in indiatimes. It's gone I think :duh2:

Congrats first of all :-D

1. Yes, any router will work with it.
2. To set it up, initially connect the router to your computer using ehternet and head to routerlogin.com. Here put in ur SSID and Password and reboot. Now connect your Router to Modem using LAN cable. Switch on modem and router. Start wifi on ur TAB/computer and you shall find your wifi network with the SSID u gave. Enter the Password and start using !

BTW, How much time did they take to process ur order and ship it ?

Dear Tenida,
Indeed it is costly in nCarry@Rs. 699 and luxury in flipkart @Rs. 999, but that ebay case is not original, it's mentioned in the item description. So I think paying 274 bucks more for an original case will do good.

BTW any proud owner of FB here have tried any 32GB microSDHC yet? Because from my friends I have heard that FB is getting hanged after inserting a Sandisk and also a Transcend both 32 GB Class 4 and both are working fine with other cardreaders and laps.

Tenida could you confirm it? I haven't ordered any cards yet due to this reason :cry:

Just to let you know the result. The receiving and unpacking of my FB mentioned above from Indiatimes

*picasaweb.google.com/1128099787325...authkey=Gv1sRgCMyXspXFqcq6kgE&feat=directlink (who is willing to see the actual package I got from Indiatimes)

It's ultimate comes as a nice one, hologram packed, undamaged, new, perfectly working piece. It is very much VFM product in the tablet range, depending upon your requirements.

Now some words about FB (Tenida said all, but it is just mine experience)

1) It is a very fingerprint prone product, so buy a case with it or shortly after, otherwise, scratches can't be avoided.
2) have a soft towel to remove spots.
3) Backside protector is going to remove soon.
4) Already given a screen protector, don't remove it.
5) Arrange wi-fi, otherwise it is not going to be used after some days.
6) Don't expect apple or dual core performance, but in 6K, this piece is the best to me.
7) No speed or lag issue till now, also the base-band version is 1.02, is it updated?? @FB users
8) I am more than happy with it as my first tablet. No complaint regarding it, in this what I hv got is really pretty.

and last but not the list, @Tenida, plz add me also in teh Owner List.

Thanks Guys...

Re: Micromax Funbook -nCarry delivery

dear tenida,
I have read in your previous posts that nCarry is not that good. I have already ordered some goodies through it. The payment was done through credit card. Suppose if they fails to deliver the items then what would be the payback procedure? Do you have any idea about it?

Flipkart is teh best one and nothing to worry about man, I got it from Indiatimes at 5841 INR and the review was worst about indiatimes as per many users, that's why I had fingers crossed.

Flipkart will send you the best, don't worry.

Both d3b and me had similar problems like you...
The problem was solved by:
Use method 2 (Manual, ADB commands):
After 5th step, enter the following codes one by one in the command prompt:
Code:
adb shell
su
chmod 777 /data
chmod 777 /dev/block/nandg
Your problem should be solved... If not, try method 1 after trying the above again... It worked flawlessly for me...

Yes, same here for both. Chrome beta is not compatible with Stock ICS of FB, there are actually a lot of bugs in the stock version, you have to change to custom rom or try dolphin hd. btw, the stock browser is good imo.

Have you tried it while FB charging? HDDs generically draws too much power (no power HDDs) through USB port and may be FB is not capable of that, so try this once...

Check Step 4 from this link - INSTALLING CUSTOM RECOVERY
You need to open Superuser -> Go to Settings -> And install/update the Binaries, that's it!

I don't have any info about your second query.

Battery backup will be improve on custom rom. Moreover the backup time will be increase after few charging and discharging cycle.

how many cycles would it take do you reckon ? custom ROM would have to wait a month as I am using it now for a job and can't afford to eff up something before that is completed.

you can shift games to ext card from options in the system settings.

WTF?

Suddenly the fb wifi is behaving abnormally. The wifi is always on, even if I disable wifi, when funbook restarts, it activates wifi automatically. Sometime even if I disable wifi, its just enables itself. I recently installed Ram booster and BatteryBooster(iMobLife) and the problem started. I did full reset, re-flashed to custom ROMs and stock ROM but the problem still exists. Can anyone help me in this matter?

It just connects to a pre-authenticated wi-fi every time? or searches and prompts you to connect with wi-fi?

You are just great

~~Is there any way to see both internal and external SD card in file explorer?~~

Ok. Just got my FB.

In the default file manager, why is the internal memory reported as SDcard?

Under settings, I can see 2 internal storage - 1.15GB and 1.8GB or something. What are those? There is no SD card in my device.

Also what happened to the 4GB internal storage? Do I have only ~1GB left?

EDIT: I figured out the internal memory thing. Nevermind.
I will use the script to swap the internal memory with my read SD card.

First of all copy some .vcf files to th tablet.
Open one file; it'll be imported to contact.
now clicking on the notification you can see that contact in to tha Contact App which is already installed into tablet.
here you can creat/edit/manage all your contacts.

Now this is not accessible from Application Tray.
There are some sollutions for this.

1.
Download "resizable contact widget for ICS" from google play.

That will allow you to access the app from home widget.

2.
Install Apex launcher from Google Play.
That has on screen shortcut for contacts.

if u dont want to go thru all that.. u can do the same directly from terminal,
to use in terminal.. download superuser
enter

Code:

su
pm set-install-location 2

however it changes it to internal SD (2GB) and not external sd..

karndev said:

Yes, I did. Nothing worked. Finally I manually edited vold.fstab.

Now sdcard and extsd spaces are swapped

But the 2GB internal memory, that's currently assigned as extsd is pretty much wasted when it could have contributed to internal storage. Now even though the device has 4GB internal memory it can only use 2GB. Stupid Micromax.

Add me to the list please

If the sdcard and internal memory is swaped, will it set the default location to sdcard?

ok guys I wish to buy this for my mother so need to know just two things..

first I tell you, she is gonna use it for surfing and then little reading and videos.. and basic stuff.. mostly for browsing on wi-fi (will also need to buy router for this.)

How is battery life, Is 3-4 hours daily possible?

and how is Display.. does it give stress on eyes while reading..

Yaaaaaaayyyyy... Got my FB today....everything is working fine so far...am happy. :doublethumb:

But one doubt, even I haven't opened any apps but RAM is "used 350 MB" and only "160 MB" is free. Actually a lot of apps's Cache are working (mostly that of Googles). How to get back this used RAM?

and one more thing Google play store is available right?

REGARDING MY PREVIOUS PROBLEMS ABOUT WIFI ALWAYS ON
The problem solved by installing qware rom (97F2-D1-H1-H01-1558.20120303), LOL, don't know why but it solved the problem(Even the 4.0.3-97F1-D1-H2-H01-N413.20120314 didn't work). Was using stock for a while until I got Cyanbook v0.3.

As much as i understood: Don't let Battery-related/RAM-related software to take control of wi-fi.

Its about 3-4 hours with stock and if you flash it to custom ROM like Cyanbook 0.3 you will get about 6-7 hours on normal using with Wifi on

blackpearl said:

Not possible !!!

I cannot install CWM, and I have Superuser installed, root access granted, checked using Terminal and Root checker or something, but whenever I try to do anything(run bat or manually run command) this appears:

* daemon not running. starting it now *
* daemon started successfully *
failed to copy ‘recovery.img’ to ‘/data//recovery.img’: Permission denied
/system/bin/sh: cannot create /dev/block/nandg: Permission denied

Click to expand...

Then I installed Root browser and Fileslick to manually change the permission of the data and dev folders, Rootbrowser crashes, Fileslick just crashes the entire system, looks like Micromax had changed something with this, I have android 4.0.3 installed. Nothing works, period.

NVM: 3rd time's the charm, altering permissions did it.

To krishnandu.sarkar: Please add the following data to your guide:

Anyone getting permission denied must use Fileslick app to manually set permission to /dev and /data folders in root.

Also note, when using fileslick the tab may crash and get stuck in white screen, please reset the tab to continue(shutdown tab, press rest for 20 sec).

If everything fails, force flash by using livetools.

In videos you won't notice any pixelization even with its small screen resolution.

I purchased mmx fb this week . I am quite happy with it. I have micromax 352g dongle with airtel SIM in it for internet . I am trying to access internet in fb using this dongle but failed. Can anyone out there help me regarding how to access interenet using mmx 352g dongle..

Initially, when I edited the vold.fstab the device was working fine.

Then I read that the extsd card works as an extension of the sdcard, that is, once the internal sdcard is filled the extsd card automatically starts behaving as the sdcard. That made sense.

I decided revert to the changes. Upon rebooting the device has refused to start.

Seems like I have to take it to the service center to have it flashed

Hello guys. I have two queries

If it does, may be u can try to push to orginal vold.fstab and c if that works

Ok guys, I'm done with cyanbook mod, consumes more ram, games crash, mx player getting stuck and all, reverted to stock rom, running fine so far

Use Fun Series.

krishnandu.sarkar said:
Use Fun Series.

Which version?

Seems everybody here still not sure about exactly which custom rom should use for FB !! Krishnandu or Tenida could you guyz confirm.???

The custom roms have issues, cyanbook uses too much ram, plus issues with MX player and the bundled file manager is cr@p, the stock file manager that comes with funbook is better for loading USB host or media scanning.

T

Connecting to LAN

Anyone tried connecting it to LAN? Using a LAN USB adapter?? I bought one. It worked at the shop. But is not working in my home. In neither mode(PPPoE, Bridged)

just some basic information
1) u can use ANY file manager with any rom. u dont necessarily have to use the one bundled .

..
2) media scanning does not depend on ur explorer used..

I know, but anyway the ram use was a bit too much, also fruit ninja crashed every time. Also if I launched MX player from default file browser then it would lag like hell and crash.

Ofcourse v3.0

krishnandu.sarkar said:
@Tkin You post the guide, I'll add it to the beginning of-course providing you the credit.

Here is the guide, if someone fails to install the script he can try this:

Ok, for those who cannot install CWM from the normal steps(most probably new funbook users having Base 1.2 and ICS 4.0.3) follow these steps.

1. Install Superuser from playstore, update binary, you'll notice it will fail one part(red text), re do the update 2,3 times staright away until all the text become green, no need to reboot phone, but you might want to.

2. Install Android terminal from playstore, in terminal put su and press enter, if you get a warning allow it, if # comes you have root access. If not, re do step one. Don't continue till you get this step correct.

3. Download ES File manager from playstore, go to settings, allow all root access related options and also tick go upto root option.

4. Now start ES file manager, go to root, long press the dev folder, set properties, check all boxes, click ok. Do the same for the data folder, now open the dev folder, and repeat the steps for the block folder, and inside the block folder do the steaps for nandg file.

5. Allow USB debugging from dev options, connect the cable, install drvers.

6. Run the ICS recovery script, wait for it to finish, if it fails then you need to check and set permission again, if all goes well you have successfully installed CWM.

Warning: When setting permissions in ES File Manager make sure the USB cable is not attached, if so it might cause a hard crash and brick the device.

I had used this method to flash CWM on mine and on my friends device, both Base 1.2 and ICS 4.0.3(made in may 2012, the rom build no is: 97F1-D1-H2-H01-MMX.20120512) hence I think funbooks made after may 2012 must use this method, otherwise the script will fails due to permission denial.

^^Added

S

^^^^ Those are really nice, all the new users are getting Base 1.2 including me. So, IMO, the tutorial needs to be clearly updated by the new steps.

Installed Funseries version 3 ROM. Its very light with Allwinner MOD. Its seen as Samsung Galaxy SII at play store. So, it will support premium games also

To all those downloading FunSeries ROM a fair warning:

If you install Funseries the micromax logo at startup(even before CWM menu) is changed to android logo and can't be changed back even if you restore original backup(backup from CWM), this will void your warranty as the service center will notice it asap when booting(logo shows even if you install CWM), I'm still trying to find a workaround for this(maybe flashing cyanbook followed by stock backup will fix this, still to try).

@ krishnandu please put this text in front page under flashing section.

Cyanbook is safe to use.

@Tenida: Thanks for the update. Custom recovery is installed. I got the success message in the terminal.

But I can't enter recovery console. The "Press Options Key and by keeping it pressed, Press Power Key. Release Power Key and then Release Options Key." is not working. I still get the default shutdown menu.

Any ideas?

@tkin Well I don't think this text needs to be there in different. As flashing CWM and ROM will void warranty anyway. And that warning is already there.

Users / Members flash ROM by judging themselves.

No buddy. Read the tutorial correctly. You need to power off the device and do that thing while turning on.

Doing that thing on a turned on device won't help anyway.

Not necessarily, its possible to delete CWM from system, so once you are done you can completely remove any traces of a firmware flash(unistall superuser, remove CWM and voila), like I have done recently, but if you use Funbook you can't get the it done as the boot logo is changed(not boot animation).

checking current install path ....fail
failed to find currently installed binary. update cannot continue
i get the same error even after trying to update after 10 times

Well, yeah that I know, and I have also mentioned that if anyone needs warranty it can be claimed by restoring everything back.

Still I think that it's upto ROM developers, I don't know whether criticizing a specific ROM would be fine.

Lets see what other members says.

When did you buy Funbook?

Have you tried to root it before? Looks like the Su binary is not there, which is weird, as funbook comes with a binary.

Go to settings>about> and post the details there, like baseband, android and rom version.

That's the problem, with Funseries the boot logo(micromax) is changed permanently, can't be restored even with stock backup, you need to flash a micromax funbook img using livesuite and there isn't any available on net, you'll get ployer momo imgs(and other allwinder tab imgs, but no funbook imgs yet) which I think won't have micromax logo at start.

The problem does not happen with cyanbook, that's what I am trying to say.

Update: Thanks, I gave the link to this thread to my friend, who got funseries but then faced this issue, so I think other users could use a warning for this.

S

my funbook details are
android version - 4.0.3
baseband version - 1.2
kernel version 3.0.8+
build no. - 97F1-D1-H2-H01-MMX.20120512

I DID TRY TO ROOT using sparkroot app, would that have deleted my su binary by accident????
i bought my funbook a week ago

I'm probably sounding like an idiot, but I really can't get into recovery console.

Device is turned off.
I press the menu/options button.
I press the power button. How long do I press? I wait about 5 sec
I release the powerbutton
I wait 1-2 sec.
I release the options button.

Nope. Not working.

FYI. I definitely got the custom recovery install success message.

Yes, that's it, sparkroot has unrooted your device, you need to root it again, just search google for rooting options.

No No No.

Shut down device.
Press options(context) button, keep it pressed.
Press power button and keep both buttons pressed till micromax logo comes up, release the buttons then.

YOU HAVE TO KEEP BOTH BUTTONS PRESSED TILL MICROMAX LOGO COMES UP, the cmd windows in the recovery bat file says so, pay attention.

I have bought original micromax cover @ just 699. It fits perfectly which made of fine leather and no issues so far. This one you bought from ebay look almost similar but definitely wont be the original one. How much did you pay?
Anyway guys, I will definitely recommend to add some more bucks and buy the original one as you wont regret about the quality and compatibility problem. I will be uploading the images soon.
I have also bought an HD shield Antiglare screen guard along with @299 but didnt use as Funbook comes with a pre installed screen guard.

In case there is no called original. Every good quality case is same. I own Domo ncase n8 which is very good case, you can insert any 7 inch tablet in it. Micromax is just ripping us by calling it original.

Dude, I've already seen Domo ncase (bought for something around 500 from ebay) at my friends place. The leather material of micromax case (specially the inner part) is of high quality compared to Domo, which is essential when considering the scratches on screen and body.But the decision is always up to individual.
And yes, if you believe that Funbook is original, then you must believe that cover is original too because both have got Micromax logos and it fits perfectly.

The one tht I bought costed me 450 bucks...not original though.. Seems good. Yaay little tough to press the corner buttons...but all in all, its nice..fits well..and feels good in hand...

Does the original case come with a slit for the speaker hole? Cause all cases i had seen so far has none and it muffles the sound completely.

Nope. I guess you need to take it to Service Center. That's the best option, as it looks like some loose connection. Better not to do anything manually, instead go to Service Center.

I have read this thread from last 10 pages

Still asking should I get this macromax funbook or there is any better alternative in this price range..
Also I have never used Android nor have much hacking knowledge other than symbian roms

One question. Does it support external keyboard? I have to do a lot of document editing.. so..

Shabin...

@shabin5785 Yes, it supports Bluetooth / USB Keyboard.

@simon In that case I'm afraid that you have to take it to service center, if you are not willing to flash Custom ROM.

Dear friends,

How about a Class-4 32GB SD or Class-6 16GB ?? Please help.

Dear Krishnandu,
What are other advantages than improved battery while using a custom ROM. Would you please mention what are the +ve and -ve of both Cyanbook and Funseries ROM? In my stock ROM free RAM is only around 100MB all the time (even if I delete all the running apps, free RAM goes to 400MB and again it come down to 100 immediately- Is that normal with stock ROM??)
But I read in earlier posts that Cyanbook eats a lot of RAM, then how could that helps in battery and hanging problem ???

Dear all,

I have bought a Funbook and iam trying to connect to HP Laptop - Home Premium Win 7 . I have installed the drivers as per the walkthrough in this thread .But Iam afraid I do not know how to enable the USB storage . Have restarted both TAB and Laptop many times I dont get any pop up . My Samsung S2 connects perfectly fine with the same laptop .

Please help...

You will have problems connecting funbook to Laps if the lap can't provide enough power to the Tablet. If I am running a external HDD, Even my desktop PC won't detect the tablet. (Due to low power PSU).

I purchased the funbook after reading some of these threads and reviews from Reliance digital on 24th this month . I purchased this just to play some movies in my car . Now the issue is this thing just switches off after 10-15 mins of usage ! Whatever i do if its watching movies , playing games or browsing it just shuts down after 10-15 mins . And offcourse it is fully charged . In my car i tried watching movies while also charging it simultaneously through the car AC outlet but invain . I think its an OS issue not hardware but i cant find link on net or on micromax site to upgrade its firmware . So i took it back to Reliance digital , they instead gave directions to a nearby micromax service center which is around 5 kms away. Went there and they said that they deal with only phones and not TABS ! They told me to go to service center somewhere in Ghatkopar in mumbai , whole day wasted , screw it ! i am not travelling from navi mumbai to ghatkopar just for this piece of crap ( no offence ) but warranty police sucks . Any suggestions !

I have read this thread from last 10 pages

Still asking should I get this macromax funbook or there is any better alternative in this price range..
Also I have never used Android nor have much hacking knowledge other than symbian roms

Will it work for me??

I am getting Macromax funbook for 5800 with ebay 10% discount coupen...and its a superb deal I would say

HI Sujoy,
Android is a great OS ,highly customzable and much much better than symbion..I am using Ainol aurora tablet but there are many satisfied funbook users here too.There will be some issues but you can get help from forum..
There are custom ROMs available too and lots of free apps(for all kind of users).from reviews it seems funbook is the best 7 inch tablet at this price..

if only some Indian company can produce even Ainol like quality tablet at same price..but that is wishful thinking..

Please say thanks if it helped

Had downloaded the drivers as above already .I was worried cos the laptop and the tab both were bought same day and I couldnt figure out what was the device with issue. I tried connecting funbook to another xp laptop and had the same issue . Meaning nothing happens after installing the drivers.

I did a factor reset of the funbook and it worked

Thanks to all who took time to help and reply

Did you read the guide on first page..?? Read how to install CWM, I guess that will help you. Check the quoted part below...

Tenida said:
HAVING PROBLEM WHILE INSTALLING CWM?? GETTING PERMISSION DENIED ERROR??

Ok, for those who cannot install CWM from the normal steps(most probably new funbook users having Base 1.2 and ICS 4.0.3) follow these steps.

1. Install Superuser from playstore, update binary, you'll notice it will fail one part(red text), re do the update 2,3 times staright away until all the text become green, no need to reboot phone, but you might want to.

2. Install Android terminal from playstore, in terminal put su and press enter, if you get a warning allow it, if # comes you have root access. If not, re do step one. Don't continue till you get this step correct.

3. Download ES File manager from playstore, go to settings, allow all root access related options and also tick go upto root option.

4. Now start ES file manager, go to root, long press the dev folder, set properties, check all boxes, click ok. Do the same for the data folder, now open the dev folder, and repeat the steps for the block folder, and inside the block folder do the steaps for nandg file.

5. Allow USB debugging from dev options, connect the cable, install drvers.

6. Run the ICS recovery script, wait for it to finish, if it fails then you need to check and set permission again, if all goes well you have successfully installed CWM.

Warning: When setting permissions in ES File Manager make sure the USB cable is not attached, if so it might cause a hard crash and brick the device.

I had used this method to flash CWM on mine and on my friends device, both Base 1.2 and ICS 4.0.3(made in may 2012, the rom build no is: 97F1-D1-H2-H01-MMX.20120512) hence I think funbooks made after may 2012 must use this method, otherwise the script will fails due to permission denial.

I've been following this thread, and I just bought the Funbook along with the accessories. Kids have been super busy loading their favorite games on the tablet, and finally my wife's and my phones are free for our own use

.

Surprises:

Touch sensitivity is poor, or course when charging it's unusable. I hope Micromax has a fix for this basic use case.
Processor(s) seems quite good, able to play games etc. without much hassle
Screen resolution/ clarity/ viewing angles are pretty crappy, but sufficient for the purposes of kids playing games (I hope).

Accessories:
Bought the case, car charger and the screen guard from the nimbuzz/ mcarry site. Case is quite weird in that it has a big velcro strip to hold the tablet securely - makes the case look slightly puffy. The case is a light grey colour. The car charger is just a little thing with 2 USB ports, no cables supplied. Extremely odd! However I was able to use the mini-USB cable that came with the tablet to charge the tablet with the car charger.

Total cost:
Used my Amex card on Indiatimes for a 15% discount, and ended up paying Rs 5515.65 for the tablet. All 3 accessories together came to Rs 1297.00. Hence total cost so far (will need to buy a 16/32 GB MicroSD card for movies/ audio etc.) is Rs. 6813.65! Sweet deal overall. :-D

Overall thoughts so far
Cool price, but limited utility. Will use it for a couple of days before judging it further, it's still in the "setup" stage as of now. The "can't use while charging" is driving me mad though :evil:

. My son is unable to use his favourite game "Real Football 2012" (saying not enough space), so hoping that I can install it on an external MicroSD card.

Hey can i store the apps on the sd card that we insert if yes then how ?

Go to Settings > Application > Select The Application > Move to SD Card.

Or for Permanent Solution you may try [ MOD-CWM FLASHABLE ZIP ] SWAP eMMC and EXTSD for Micromax Funbook - xda-developers

Or you can also create Ext4 partition on your Ext SD and use Link2SD / App2SD to use it as Internal Memory. But I'm not sure whether Funbook ROM supports Link2SD / App2SD.

Move to sd card moves the app to the internal sd card not the one we insert

^^Well in that case use the Script I posted above.

Anybody had success getting BSNL EVDO to work on Funbook stock ROM?

Google always provides some secret GOODIES CALLED .EASTER EGGS in their ICS versions.

Dear all,

Some users here reported about the touch screen lagging while on charging. But I haven't faced any problem yet and I am very happy with my Funbook. The only thing I am not happy with is that we cannot move the apps to External SD

you can install some custom rom which might support a2sd and Darktremor script..that is the only good solution..else you can move some of the apps to sd card..

Tested SHADOWGUN on Funbook. There were no noticable lags. Gameplay was good and comfortable to play on funbook. Overall performance of Funbook is good except for Battery backup and low resolution screen.
There are some issues with touchscreen while charging.

BTW the touchscreen does act weird during charging, not always but sometimes.

I removed the micromax apps an other bloatware by using sdlink movies virtinit etc. Can any one tell me what will be the use of using a custom rom.

Yes buddy, its getting switched off @ around 30% of battery, and it starts again only after plug in the charger/usb. And again getting switched off if we remove the charger !!!! Some have the problem @30 % some have @20% and some have even @80% !!!! So weird, right?

You can see a lot of user complaints in a website, just search " Micromax funbook problem/complaint" (the website named Complaint Board Forum i think.)

Well that's odd! I have never faced such issue till date even after reaching 17% battery. I think you should take your FB to service center and ask for a replacement if possible.

Sometimes I charge it around 80-90% sometimes 100%.
But I avoid discharging it below 35%. Only once in a week I discharge it around 20%.

Funbook has Mini USB, not Micro USB, so it won't work, looks for Mini USB chargers.

BTW: My OTG cable is loose, sometimes the usb drive gets ejected for no apparent reason, maybe the port is loose.

Restart tab. restart wifi, make sure to forget the old network, change wifi pin, make sure no other device is connected with the router, change wifi name, repeat and rinse, pray to god.

Those are micromax apps, useless, click the small grid icon on top right to open app menu to find all apps, looks like you've never used an android phone before, the app menu is accessed from top right, you can drag app icons to home screen.

yup never ever touched android ...although used wp,sym,s40.ios

yaah i went to that file manager...

i didnt find any uninstaller nor terminate any running application

sujoyp said:

To uninstall apps, click and hold icon from app menu, it will come to home screen, then drag it to uninstall text on top.

Micromax apps can't be uninstalled normally.

Yes you are missing out something!
Actually in some custom ROM(don't remember the exact name) the play store app is not installed, so you need to separately install it later on.
In stock ROM you don't need to install Play store since its already available.

sujoyp said:
Also guys please suggest good applications for
uninstallation software -> Titanium Backup, although you can simply uninstall an app from Settings -> Apps -> Select the app to be uninstalled and click on Uninstall button
terminate running software -> No need of separate s/w IMO, simply Go to Settings -> Apps -> Running tab -> Stop the required process/app
office -> Funbook comes with Documents to Go 3.0 which is very good IMO. Other free option is Kingston Office
video player -> MX Player
music player -> Using stock music player currently so can't recommend any

I read some discussion here regarding installing google play saperately ...but I can download directly from google play...yesterday downloaded winamp and facebook for android from it

am i missing something?? or mmx have updated the market?

Also guys please suggest good applications for
uninstallation software
terminate running software
office
video player
music player

I am very new to android and I was lost yesterday after looking at those unlimited list of similar softwares

Uninstallation software: Titanium backup, this will allow you to uninstall system software, remove system softwares through this(like Mstore), be careful, a wrong touch(which happens a lot with funbook) could uninstall a necessary system software and make your system useless, always backup the software before uninstalling it, for non system software uninstall from normal app settings.

Terminate running software: Advanced task killer(made by Rechild), this won't stop softwares that have running separate services(green apps in advanced task killer), in android no task killer app could close them, you need to force stop them for app settings menu, you could directly open that menu from advanced task killer(long press a green running app).

Office: Kingsoft office. The documents to go that comes free with funbook works good as well but can't be updated due to some signing error, you could uninstall using titanium and reinstall it from play store.

Video player: MXplayer works very good, but has minor hitching issues, also get VLC media player, its really good as well.

Music player: Stock player is great, but has minor issues with audio hitching, you could try winamp and real player(I'm using this).

PS: The default android store is updated to google play as soon as you start it, its play store now.

Restart tab. restart wifi, make sure to forget the old network, change wifi pin, make sure no other device is connected with the router, change wifi name, repeat and rinse, pray to god.

The exact steps that I followed earlier, fine for now, dunno for how long.

Ha ha.. done all that. It worked once, but not this time.

I have a backup of the ROM made before this Wifi trouble started. I will try to Flash it and see if that works.

Is this a hardware problem or ICS problem?

Thanks tkin...now I am much comfertable with android

This is an ICS problem, this problem has existed in android for a long time, from gingerbread days, google couldn't fix it, just like how they couldn't fix chrome for android.

In my case,turning off wifi, and restarting works mostly.

Thanks in advance

Hi,
I Am new to this forum and not getting how to post a new post, so i am asking here, i own a funbook, today when i started camera app, it is showing that "Unfortunately, Camera Has Stopped". i had tried to delete the bloatware like entertainment, games, the tablet was working fine but suddenly camera has stopped. should i reset the device?

^^And that's absolutely how to post a new post

Now, please be brief and mention what did you removed. If you have removed any system app on which Camera app is dependent it may stop working.

If that's the case, I will have to install a custom ROM because without wifi the tablet is useless.

Does custom ROM have wifi problems? If not, which is the best ROM to install?

Funseries or Cyanbook?

Nope, all the custom ROM's are working fine and not buggy.

Well there's nothing like best ROM, both the ROM are from diff. base. CM9 is feature rich and Funbook is based on Momo9 and streamlined ROM and much faster.

So choose yourself wisely

As for personal recommendation, I'd say Funbook.

Re: Micromax Funbook Camera

@shubhamjain3120 Reset it. WIll fix it.

Check if 3rd party apps like this Panorama App can use it.

Did you try restarting Device?

Ok guys just flashed Cyanbook 0.4. Will post my impressions soon.

Guys my fb is still getting switched off at around 30%. Please help. Do micromax got a responsive customer service????

Don't worry my friend this is the customer care no--1860 500 8286, just give a call and tell them your problem. BTW you can check this link--Micromax: Service Centre Locator

Actually this is my first custom ROM, so can't tell how it is compared to other ROMs.
Till now everything seems fine though. Only once the screen completely failed to respond, since it's going well.

Update : Cyanbook ROM development has been stopped unfortunately! 0.4v will probably be the last one.

Please help me guys with the usb mount issue I have described in the above posts

nickzcool said:

Same thing here, its a bug I think, so don't unmount the storage, just yank the usb out of the port, an error will be shown but it won't cause any issue.

I am having one more issue, if I lock the device then after some time the usb drive gets disconnected, and bringing the device out of sleep causes it to be mounted again, power problem? Should I go for RMA?

N

I think the power off at 30 to 28% is due to the drop in megavolts of the battery I noticed when the funbook goes out the mv value is less than 3.5 mv

That's great news! So now we can try this ROM without worrying I guess.

BTW I just noticed the Documents to go app which came with the stock ROM was indeed full version which costs some 850 bucks otherwise. For those on custom ROM should simply install the documents.apk from stock ROM

Well I bought it when it was in offer. Got it for Rs. 54/-

Yes you can try out Momo9 and it's derived ROM's without any hesitation now.

guys, somehow the serial number of my fun book is listed as unknown in about tablet->status. i found this out when i went to the service center and he won't take it now. but i flashed fun series rom and the tab is now working fine...but why the serial number went missing?? i purchased the device in about 4-5 days when it was launched. for people who bought it then, is the serial number listed?

Great price to get it at. IMO its the best office suite out there for our tab specifically.

Won't be free for some time now so will have a go at other ROMs later for sure

Hi! I currently use Cyanbook 0.4 ... it's a shame karndev discontinued development... Any ideas for another OS to jump to if updates come?

Sticking with Cyanbook though now, it's quite stable and fast with 60+ apps for me :razz:

bloodvayne said:

You mean ROM?
You can try Kangbook ROM if you want, that too is customizable like Cyanbook.
Although I would recommend you to stick with Cyanbook for a while because its stable and nothing to complain about

BTW karndev may resume Cyanbook development later but not anytime sooner. So :Fingerx:

Funbook is very nice device so far, but the 512MB ram sucks, every 1/2 hour I have to kill a dozen tasks just to get above 100MB free.

tkin said:

Why would you want to have 100MB of free RAM?
Also there are plenty of articles mentioning how RAM management is done by Android, so I would recommend you to read that first if you haven't done so.
In Android users simply don't need to worry about running out of RAM, Android will help you out with it.
Killing tasks may hamper the battery life of your device. So I would say kill the tasks only if you get out of memory warning.

Guys , planning to get FB

I think the funbook is incapable of pulling more than 0.8A while charging via the MiniUSB port. I am not charging via computer USB port, so no question of current supply restriction. I am using a DC regulator I built myself and its capable of supplying over 4A current.

The highest I have seen the FB pull is 0.78A and that's when playing Angry Birds. When the tab is switched off or in sleep mode, current draw for charging is stable at 0.58A.

I am very interested in knowing whether the proprietary DC-IN port can pull more current. Does anyone know what type of connector it is and where I can get one? Its slightly thicker than a Nokia 2mm connector but not as thick as a 3.5mm connector.

I can't seem to find the connector type... But I use a universal charger and the Nokia 2mm connector seems to work, ( I hooked it up to a 5v/2a adapter). It charges quite well, faster than via MiniUSB but still slower than dc-in, and about 5 hours to fully charge.

Screen is more or less the same in both. While i dont know about dongle support, there are many sites which claim that any dongle can be used with funbook. Some youtube videos even show it happening. Google it and you will know.

Has anyone tried using the LAN feature of funbook with a SR9600 chinese adapter. Its not working with it. While other adapters like iBall's works awesome.

These are the steps i have done,

Recharged fulll 100%, while leaving the charging connector on went into recovery and wiped out battery stats. rebooted normally and took the charger off. after that when the battery reached 20%, it again shut down.

wiping battery stats does not work.

but you were saying that you have got the problem fo shut down and you erased the wiped out the battery stats to solve the proble. after wiping my battery sats, my funbook is also switching off at 20% before it was trandomly at 15%, 10%. seems like a problem in every funbook. Is there anybody not facing this problem????

No, it was shutting down @ 10%
Was fine after wipe, then shut down @ 20% yesterday.

Guys I went to checkpoint yesterday they took both the device and charger for parts replacement and many more people are facing these issues let me see what do they do with it will report u guys . They said it will take 4 or 5 days and regarding the battery stats wipe you can also do it with the battery calibration app in the market I tried but of no use .as I said earlier when the battery goes out its mv's drop below 3.5 mv which is the least limit in our battery that is why it cuts out .you can check this for your self in spare parts avaliable in market .

@nickzcool, buddy do let us know how it goes. If replacing the battery and charger, does the trick, then we all have to take our Funbook to the service center.

For the record, wiping the battery stats does nothing to calibrate the battery. I tried that yesterday and my FB is still shutting down at 40%. When it starts again after plugging in charger, it starts charging from 40%. Its like the tab considers 40% as empty battery level.

Just want to ask, what was the battery life before it turned off at 40 percent (how much did you use the it before it turned off by itself)?

i just flashed my funbook woith cyanbook 0.4 and the memory is showinfg to be 306 MB only and not 512 MB. what to do?

You're talking about ram? Mine is also at around 300, I don't think it's a problem, but it's just how android handles ram. At least 200mb go get ics up and running maybe?

bloodvayne said:

Battery life is still around 4-5 hours which is standard for FB. So I believe I am getting the full battery juice. Until a solution is found, I am treating 40% as the empty level and hence as soon as battery is down to 50% or less, I plug in the charger.

May b u guys are right bt still its a bug any way .

For people having problem with battery, I'll tell you the exact steps I carried out to get rid of it:

First I flashed Cyanbook 0.4

Then I charged to 100%.

Then I rebooted into CWM.

Then I removed charger.

Then I wiped battery stats and rebooted.

Tada!

guys after flashing cyanbook 0.4, i am getting around 3 hours of battery life. is it so for everybody or just me. And the early shut down problem seems to have gone with cyanbook as the tab is giving warnings at 15% and below and shutting donw when the battery goes below 4%

3 hours doing what? If you were gaming during the whole time, 3 hours is not bad. If you were surfing, then something is wrong as I easily get over 4.5 hrs surfing.

I will try flashing cyanbook too if it solves the battery problem. Anyone else can confirm if this has solved the problem?

^^Both are "bIG SuCkerS"

Has anyone successfully managed to move game data from internal sd to external sd in funbook?..I installed GL to SD as well as Directory Bind.I couldn't make these work

Today succesfully ported my MMX funbook to JB using Cyanbook ROM v1 link given by krishnandu...but sadly lost all my previous apps...

Thanks to all gurus

BTW can someone please tell me what i can do with jellybeans ...I hopelessly donno much about android

M

@sujoy

if you deleted your system and user data then you will loose all your apps..idealy you shuld take backup of your ROM before falshing to new ROM so that yopu can easily revert to previous rom with all apps and data if you like..

to take backup ..go to backup option of clockwork mod recovery (CWM)..make sure there is sufficient space (>1GB) in sd card..

i think you moved from ICS to jelly bean..you can do same think as you were doing with ICS..nothing special here..main feature of jelly bean is project butter (which makes phone/tablet around 30% faster than ICS)..also you would have "Google now" which is iphone siri like assistant..explore Google now its very good (if it can recognize our Indian accent )..

Hello, I'm new here. Wanted to know if I can flash my MMX Funbook Pro (P500) to JB, will it work? I read somewhere that it should work as it the same as P300... if so can someone guide me to the right link... I tried to flash my funbook last week and did something wrong and it ended up with just the micromax logo hung at startup I have given it to the service centre to reload the ROM as i was not able to get into the recovery mode (none of the key combination worked).

Thanks mastervk ....actually I boot with CWM and according to steps I wiped off my data/factory reset then backed up my ROM

It was written in the steps I was referring .....but anyways its not a big loss...just some 10-15 free applications and some games

I found Jellybeans smoother and the desktop UI now is better...the battery problem is also solved...mine used to shut at 70% but now it worked even till 20%

app loss is not a big deal but if you are regularly playing games then you loose your progress..best way to deal with this situation is to use "titanium backup" free app..you can back up all system data and user data with this app..you can even backup apps so that when you move to new ROM you can install titanium backup and restore all other apps along with data...

you can use apex/nova/holo launcher .these are much better home screen replacements
cool that there is JB custom ROM for funbook..Micromax should provide official JB ROM too...

I dont think we will get official JB rom since we got only 1.2 ghz single core and 512 mb RAM

@sujoyp screens please

sujoyp said:

have you tried Google now ?

Can JB be ported on mmx funbook pro (p500)? I just got back my tab from the service center after I messed up while installing cwm recovery. ICS on this tab is pretty good, but would love to have it ported JB after reading the reviews...

i have also bought the micromax tablet.. but when they have launched the pro version of micromax funbook i am really pleased by using it ... now i am in dilema that y i buy that first funbook... anyone here to buy my funbook for 5k only because i want the funbook pro version ...

Today again got into problem with funbook...started and it displayed only exclamation mark in a battery sign..
Donno what mistake i made...again same long process of finding the solution ....it was just a 3 key combination which helped..

I restored my original stock ROM...Thank you I dont want JB anymore

This is very common issue going on even smart phones many people filed a complaint for this that after upgrading their phones from 2.3 to 4.0 they don't get the stunning performance anymore like before.
Here also the problems looks same so the only way i would like to suggest is to follow factory reset steps once but make sure once you done with that you may not get back to previous Android version....if I'm not wrong.

Re: Micromax Funbook Pro working on Jelly Bean

finally got my funbook pro working on Jelly Bean 4.1.1 !!

How how how?

The replaced battery is working awesome, my battery stats, reading eBook throughout @ 30% brightness, only a small 10 mins break for lunch, and at the end when I took the shot it still had 19% battery left.

Since ebook reading is the only thing I do on this tab, its solid for 6hrs.

Did they change your rom in my case they changed the rom which is not pre rooted and changed bootanimation its shows white screen instead of black behind funbook. I think this rom is underperforming what do u think

have you guys tried playing BIA2+ in funbook?. I installed the app and downloaded the data..When i launch the game all i get is a black screen..When i checked the folders,i could not locate the data files.Tried installing and downloading data twice and still it is the same situation.Any idea what is wrong?

They have launched 'Funbook Infinity' which has 2mp rear camera, dual speakers, 4000mah battery at Rs. 6,700.
Going to buy that.

Hey guys ...Has anyone bought the Funbook Talk ie inbuilt SIM ??

Help Me Please!! ( Not Very Urgent)

I don't know where to address my query, so i am posting here. I bought a mmx p300 funbook last month. As it comes with a mini USB2.0 port and a standard usb connection wire, i tried to connect a flash drive ( moserbaer 8GB) and it showed up. Later I read somewhere that it is possible to connect a USB keybaord or mouse to the funbook.

I went a step ahead and tried the usb mouse. I was much delighted to see the pointer pop out of nowhere and working like the tip of a finger. What now?

This time I bought an external 4 port zebronics USB hub. This came as cheap as Rs. 50. Connected it to tablet, then the usb drive to the hub and it showed up as usual. Next i plugged in the usb dongle -(hauwaie, or whatever the spelling is), the green light in the dongle began blinking as it usually does while being powered and registering to the network. But hello, whats this notification, usb uunexpectedly removed. Usb drive not showing anymore. Tested the mouse with dongle in one of the ports - mouse not working. Plugged the USB drive again and then the dongle, this time thhe dongle became powered and the drive was not unmounted. Tried to access files but the file manager acted too slowly while navigating through the drive's folders. But i was unable to open any file of any kind. The file manager hanged. So I removed the pen drive.

After a lot of googling and reading over internet, I jumped on the conclusion that since my tablet does not provide much power to external usb devices. The hub was trying to accomodate more than one device on the power of just one and the dongle being the more powerful device did not let that power shared by any other device in the hub.

Now, my question is that whether I should buy a powered usb hub to connect multiple device at the same time or I should abandon all efforts on trying this. Please provide some advice

Guys , i got delivery of a USB keyboard+carry case today. I bought it off ebay and is not of any specific brand.
My Funbook however, detects it only occasionally. Connected and after a lot of tries, the keyboard icon finally appeared in the taskbar. Opened dolphin browser and successfully typed in the URL for a website , but by the time i actually went to type the content I wanted to , it was un-detected (for want of a better word) again.
Is there anything i can do to make it detect the USB keyboard on a bit more, permanent basis ?

EDIT : The external carry case cum keyboard works fine when I connect it to my laptop. So I am assuming the problem is with the Funbook software rather than the carry case. Any pointers ?

After getting the 60% battery issue back again after replacing the battery once(one month) I gave the service center guys an earful and whoa, battery replaced in a week, they have battery in stock, if they are taking more than a week just thrash them a bit. Still never buying a micromax product ever :/

damn! my funbook is bricked..

i was using livesuit and when it asked for mandatory format, i clicked on 'No', it started installing but i realized that i was to click on Yes, and i exited livesuite in the middle of the installation..

now my funbook isnt booting up, not even a logo and when i try to update its driver on pc, it either shows that drivers are already installed or 'the device cannot start'

it doesn't even show the boot logo, plain dead..

someone tell me what to do now? is going to the service center the only option available..?

someone please explain to me just how many micromax "funbook" tablet versions are available, and their specs and how they match up to each other? and any sort of reviews/comparision?

hey @Tenida hows your funbook doing??

^^ Mine's lying at the service centre for more than a month now. Pathetic service by micromax.

My battery went kaput. Was giving some 10-15 mins backup and tab was like extremely hot. Had no choice but to give it to service centre.
My advice is to completely avoid this tab, save up and buy a good one.

Mine funbook running alright but funbook after April manufacture date have serious battery problem. My advice for all: Don't buy any other Micromax or other desi android device. Buy from reputed brand like Samsung, HTC, Sony and Nexus.

yep I second that, mine has random reboots in-between something. next time only reputed brands, but the good thing is it was pretty cheap for a first time user......

Sorry that I am bringing back an old thread to live again, but I really need to ask something to Funbook owners.

Has anyone found a stylus that works good on funbook for handwriting/drawing ? I picked up a cheap stylus from ebay about an year ago and it was very bad with funbook - only gave dots when trying to draw a line with it. But it worked good on a Galaxy grand mobile.

Now I am seeing these new branded styluses on ebay :
WHITE BELKIN STYLUS CAPACITIVE TOUCH PEN iPAD GALAXY s3 TAB NOTE TABLET MOBILE | eBay
GRIFFIN STYLUS CAPACITIVE TOUCH PEN iPAD GALAXY TAB 2 / NOTE TABLET MOBILE TAB | eBay

And would like to ask if anyone found a stylus that works good with Funbook ?
