BIGGEST FRAUD EVER BY MICROMAX in Android A60 AUTOFOCUS

sunil90 · November 8th, 2011, 10:39 PM

The A85 has been released.. check the igyaan reviews
The price is 18900 @ letsbuy ...after coupon its 17900... lets hope it is good enough

varun.chitre15 · November 8th, 2011, 11:15 PM

Hmmm... Nice phone in cheap price.
But they should give kernel source for all their handsets.
though a85 will not need overclocking bt they should give it at least for a70 and a60

sunil90 · November 9th, 2011, 01:08 AM

A85 is actually cherry magnum 2x which is actually a Ktouch W700 with an additional touch button...
Kernel source is already out i think by Ktouch
If only MMX released kernel source for our own A70 :/
Kernel source for a60 should be out as well.. its basically a ZTE Penguin

varun.chitre15 · November 9th, 2011, 01:22 AM

What is ktouch w700.is micromax a85 clone or rebrand of that.
If yes we should find ours also.

ams04 · November 9th, 2011, 01:29 AM

Sorry for so many questions

I had 3 rom backups and I trird all of them but every backup seems to be like stock one(they r stock)

But phone is not showing my any app
(Phone is like new one)

Vibrator is working some times sometimes don't

(Every thing is happened coz of boot animation...
When there is screen time out(30sec) bootanimation starts automatically and there is no way to get into phone other than taking battery out)
So I decided to go back to previous backup ( backup is of 1week old when phone is smooth with loys of apps)

But now my bootanimation is not changed but all apps are gone

samrox144 · November 9th, 2011, 01:32 AM

did you wipe everything before restoring backup

ams04 · November 9th, 2011, 01:38 AM

it's highly unlikely that you are not using any launcher, you're using stock launcher. disable haptic feedback from settings keyboard.

about advanced camera lite, I have not used it. I use camera 360. try reinstalling the app. if that does not work, try uninstalling, clearing cache and dalvik cache and then reinstalling the app again

use stock camera to select rear camera (5mp ) . use lgcamera for 648x480@30fps

uttiya_kar · November 10th, 2011, 01:32 AM

Proximity Sensor not working.
Working only when charging (using charger or computer USB port).
Android Sensor app showing similar result.
Is it a software problem and how to fix.

sunil90 · November 10th, 2011, 01:43 AM

@adityadeva
lg camera does not change the fps..
analyze the videos u shot using any video editor on pc to see its actual average fps
it should be 22ish in good lighting conditions and can drop 6-8 in low light conditions

Best settings for video recording..

If u are sending file to Bluetooth version 2.0 then it takes 3-4 min and if u send to Bluetooth 2.1 then it takes only 70-80 s.
my phone took just 3 min 3 seconds to transfer 8mb file to Bluetooth 2.1.

samrox144 · November 11th, 2011, 11:27 PM

try using astro bluetooth module ....download it from market...a file is send by bluetooth at speed of 32kb i think so it is slow

monu92 · November 11th, 2011, 11:47 PM

samrox144 · November 11th, 2011, 11:53 PM

Check that you are not in WCDMA mode !! In roaming you need to be in GSM mode only because WCDMA is not supported everywhere! Settings>network !!

ams04 · November 16th, 2011, 04:52 AM

I just wanted to share this...

Hey guys I found boomboxoid music player
It is heavy app(takes ram) and ui sucks and market rating is poor

But if you are music lover and want hq sound in earphone then try it

If u are not multitasking then this is good in comparison of sound quality it is better than poweramp

insane_subro · November 17th, 2011, 05:03 AM

Guys, does any one of you have a modded phone.apk with hold button somewhere else !! the odd location of the hold button driving me nuts !

adityadeva · November 21st, 2011, 03:57 PM

I am getting an error while installing apps from market:

1. "error : cannot install to sdcard or usb storage"

2. If I unmount SDcard and try to install then "error: cannot install to default location."

tried googling and delete some hidden file from .android_secure folder or /mnt/secure folder but no file found in the folder.

samrox144 · November 21st, 2011, 08:45 PM

Disable apps to SD if you have it..check your primary installation priority in settings....or wipe data of market and uninstall updates and try again

I am also facing same problem in case of some HD videos.
I think overclocking and increasing ram using swap would solve problem

Hey guys, hope someone would help me..

my a70 has got touch screen issues.. wen i open the swype keyboard, the first row 'qwertyuiop' would not function, i.e i would swype on it but it wouldnt let me do anything, this specific area wouldnt function, however the remaining touch works like a charm.. i used multi touch vis test app and figured out that, that specific area in the screen does not function as in swype but sometimes it does function.. but most cases it wouldnt..

steps i had tried,
settings > accessibility > enabled accessibility and disabled its services > reboot..

this works temporarily but still its not solving the issue permanently..
