1. for SMS, it can be various issues

try interchanging Sims and tell us what happens, might be network related.

2.try using some other charger,a BB charger will be the best i suggest, if still it takes same time might be cause the battery is high capacity

3.try using Go SMS pro or Handsent SMS, if you want to control the fonts.

4. we are unable to root this handset yet, once done then we can remove the apps that come pre installed

Hey jaquillis, for me every headphone/earphone I picked up is working properly.

I have hooked up philips, sony, creative, samsung and a couple of generic ones and all are working with proper stereo sound.

I hooked up two amplifiers, with different sets of cables and these are also working well.

Just to add all these come with standard three terminal connectors, ie, earth, l and r.

So I think you need to recheck with your phone.

---------- Post added at 06:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:19 PM ----------

I used different SIMs in SIM2 and I am able to send sms through both these.

Please check if your sms service number is present (messaging, settings, SET CARD 2 SMSC).

Did you have any data connectivity ON when you tried to get your google contacts? Basically you need to check that the display options are turned on for the following after you have installed Skype.

1) Phone

2) Sim Card

3) Google

For some reason, the google got deselected after installing Skype.

Yes i too observed this issue. I cannot use either of my Macbook's or galaxy s2's headphone with A9. and viceversa too: A9 handsfree is not compatible with others. It sounds distorted.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] vishwasnp:
I have used samsung monte and lg optimus one headphones and they worked fine. But of course mic does not work.but then for music. I installed cloud skipper and the karbonn headphones knock a solid punch :). In fact it even beats sony headphones with right settings. I could say the sound is limited in A9 due to software amp. Not hardware side

Dont Worry solution for your Problem

Bro Just install Go launcher and make it default than you can change your theme even like ICS and also you have a option to remove that 4 icon from main screen

Also for locker download go locker and make it default and you can change style which you like so nothing hard just download this two things also for contacts please download Go contact than the unknown error for stored numbers may get resolved

if you have any problem ask me :)

Almost all the software glitches i faced on A9 have been resolved after installing appropriate apps for each issue. Most apps are from GoStore. I admire their apps now.

Just one issue left:

Does any one know how to change the call receiver from default one to new app. I want my Go-Dialer-Ex app to even receive incoming calls so that the +91 / 0 unknown contact issue is resolved even when receiving call. Note that the issue is resolved for dialing after making the Go-Dialer app as default dialer.

There's a pretty good review of the phone (k-touch w680).

It's in Chinese, but looking at it we can pretty much confirm that the Karbonn A9 = k-touch w680.

Unfortunately I'm not allowed to post the link here as I'm too much of a noob, but I've directed my profile "homepage url" to it.

I'll add a link here later, or if anyone thinks it's worthwhile, they can add the link themselves.

I've also been looking for ways to root the k-touch, but all the results are in Chinese, and so far I haven't been able to find anything useful.

---------- Post added at 06:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:22 PM ----------

It seems the Chinese version of the Karbonn A9, the k-touch w680 runs on a cloud OS - Ali Cloud OS.

Apparently the 3G rates in China are low enough to make running and installing apps on the cloud possible. Wish it was the same here in India.

Anyway, I guess that means that the phones never been rooted before and someone here's going to have to boldly go where no man has been before!

A9 probs

I am having some probs with my new a9

1. My vodafone 3g is not getting connected. I am only getting 2g speeds. At the top I am not getting the 3g symbol. The vodafone customer care says that A9 might not be compatible with their network. I have put my vodafone sim in the GSM sim card slot, and in the phone settings I have selected network mode - WCDMA preferred. I have also sent an sms ACT 3G to 144, still its not working. Please guide me here if anyone knows the solution.

2. The phone gets locked when I call someone and sometimes the unlock button also doesnt work.

3. The names are not displayed for calls or messages for ppl who are in my contacts!! Whats up with this?!!

Any help will be greatly appreciated

Also, If I cant use vodafone 3g I want to put another sim in my mobile, which sim can I put in the wcdma slot which will support 3g? Which network do you recommend? I live in Bangalore

I tried that but no WCDMA networks were detected. I also changed my network mode in *#*#4636#*#* to WCDMA only, still no networks were detected :( . Its using a GSM network.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] zeyaan:
1. u have inserted Vodafone sim on gsm slot and it will give u ly 2g speeds cs gsm support ly 2g on 2nd sim in a9.

change the sim to sim slot 1 (WCDMA)

AND after activating 3g u gotta manually search for network in mobile network option.

and select AIRTEL network to access 3g speeds. make sure DATA ROAMING is ticked.

Vodafone has an understanding agreement with AIRTEL to provide 3g to Vodafone customers.

and tick WCDMA option in subscription s

2. remove screen guard or factory reset it. it should work.

3. Save all ur contacts wit '+91' before ur contact numbers

Ex: for 9886098860

save as +919886098860

best 3g netwok AIRTEL AIRCEL DOCOMO

Internet in the sense gprs or wifi? Just enable data from your phone settings. You can also find shortcut in notification bar

But you need to activate Internet from your service provider (like AIrtel) for GPRS , then go to Settings > Wireless and Networks > Mobile networks > select data enabled checkbox, you are ready ...

If you are enabling wi-fi , then go to Settings > Wireless and Networks > WI-FI Settings (Turn on WiFi first) search for available networks, select the one you want and enter password if any

Both have shortcuts in notification bar, after settings are done ...
