Thanks Prasad,

I agree that the chipset does not support it. Just wondering if there is any workaround for it. Indeed as I said in the beginning of my review that at the price point it packs in a lot of stuff nevertheless the few cons we have to live with. Also let me tell you that certain avi and mp4 files i tried playing just hung up the video player with the audio working. even if i killed the application the movie audio played in the background for which i had to reboot the phone.

The inbuilt memory claimed to be 1 GB (1000 MB) is i guess correct. Since the available memory is around 592 MB and since the memory is available in 512 MB and straight 1 GB i guess its not wrong that they claimed the memory as 1GB. They might have used 408 MB for the Stock Rom and other stock app loading so what is available to user is around 591.87 MB to be precise.

The RAM is 512 MB and available RAM is around 408 MB ( yes we have to keep clearing memory oftenly once more and more apps are loaded for which i cant blame the phone, its the apps). Nevertheless the RAM is sufficient to play the games mentioned in my review (donno but heavy graphics game could lag). Secondly i have not found the device heating too much while playing, browsing, watching movies, music and charging (while charging it becomes a little heated but not something to bother about).

The booting is fast as it takes me a little under 2 mins to boot the phone with more than 80 Apps now loaded onto my phone and three anti viruses (lookout, trustgo and quickheal trial) loading during boot. Yes the graphics during the boot process by Karbonn is PATHETIC so to say. Somebody has to help root it and customise it.

And yes Karbonn guys have given an option to reboot the phone or switch off in the custom UI.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] prasad12ka4:
Thanks a lot mate this is awesome info from you

Try playing avi files or the ones that lag or hang in mobo player using software rendering this option is present in mobo try playing with it and tell us did it work

mate the cons are bareable can't get an Android device with so good specs at this rate

The RAM IS GOOD and inbuilt memory is also sufficient for installing apps

lately most move on SD card

and we can move the ones which don't move also using some codes in adb mode (no root needed)

but this is sufficient memory

Try playing asphalt 6 hd or modern combat 2 hd

then we can see the real deal

Its really nice if its not heating its a plus point

some mobiles heat up during charging in some amount this isn't an issue

its nice to see they have provided reboot option

its best to have one

try uninstalling the anti virus

they are of no need as far as i have seen they just slow your mobile and eat up process

may take some extra Battery also

thx Agin for your Info

Me too,

+ 1

I also got a GS2 and using Karbonn A9 as secondary. Found display problem in call (not coming back) in early stages, but it was solved by resetting the proximity sensor by dialing *#36#. Other than that there was no major issues with my phone. At a price of 9k you won't get any better than this. :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sanjack:
hey buddy.. none of the posible solutions worked for me, went thru thr entire thread. also visited service centre and initially the labeled it as a minor issue which is solvd in 2 mins on many handsets, but i wasnt that lucky. i had 2 visit 2 times over there and still no luck. now they hv said there is sme hardware issue, but nw found a new solution *#36... one . hope it works otherwise wil hv to get it replaced. :( thnx 4 al the help buddy.

thank u sooo much!! even service centre was helples in this..!! hope this works out!! :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] prasad12ka4:
if it doesn't

i guess you might be having 30 days replacement warranty?

use it and get a new set
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] prasad12ka4:
Now that we have enough attention for this handset we can start Modding & development on it

Before that we would like to know its current software & hardware capacity

For this I need some volunteers who can do this for us

This won't have any harm on your handset as of now we are not rooting or modifying anything

Phase 1: Testing

Here we will check with compatible software for this mobile

- Dual cam testing

Kindly install SKYPE and check if it supports front facing cam

Also try it on a 3G or Wifi

one can try Fring also

Check if Viber works fir this set?

-GPU testing

Kindly install one of the following:

Asphalt 6 HD

Assasins Creed

Splinter Cell Conviction HD

Modern Combat 2/3 HD

NOVA

-Benchmark

Try using any benchmark tool from google play and post the scores here

-Reboot

try starting mobile with and without SD card

check if any boot time difference

Dear members, anyone can try this with the A9

no harms as we ain't rooting or modding

This is a Koren make handset so e need to do everything with caution

as if bricked or locked its gonna be a bit tough

Phase 2 will be rooting
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sujaypai:
To answer to your above points

1) Viber can be installed and is working fine. Skype could not try but yes tried Fring and it works fine and supports front cam. Video quality is pathetic.

2) None of the games you mentioned is supported for this phone. cannot load it from Google Play itself. Though i tried EVAC HD which played quite well with good graphics rendering.

3) Benchmark Tests score are as below

Antutu - 2813

Linpack Single thread - 23.248 and Multithread - 19.239

Nenamark 1 - 45.7 fps

Nenamark 2 - 19.7 fps

Quadrant Benchmark - 1462 (CPU - 1667, Mem 1658, I/O - 1791, 2D - 455 and 3D - 1737. The Becnhmark graph shows A9 next to Samsung Nexus 5 and HTC Desire HD)

Hope you will be able to analyse on the basis of this.

4) Reboot with and without SD Card is approx 1 min 30 secs (the lag was not so much that i could figure it out it is more or less 15 - 25 secs here or there). Though i felt it boots some seconds early without SD card.

And yes when i reboot or boot the phone and it loads again there is a sudden fall in battery life anywhere between 5% - 15% (Do not know if it is the same for other android phones or even windows and iphones.)

definately it works
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] vishwasnp:
Regarding the Video calling, I tried with Gtalk Video chat, and it works perfectly

I had installed GTA 3 and Asphalt 5 HD APK's , it ran perfectly without a hitch, but then 2nd and 3rd time, it started giving errors . also since they were not licensed. so deleted it , but graphic capability has no complaints from my side :D

oh yes, Frontline commando works perfectly, i guess it is quite a bit graphics intensive game

I tried running 720p videos with MX player, the video's plays it allright, but gets a bit laggy for comfort

i Am using camera 360 and the photos are coming like masterpieces :D . tried LG camera for video on Mp4 format, but it is still quite buggy
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] prasad12ka4:
wow

thanks a lot for quick one

so w conclude that not all HD Games play on this

Rest all is fine

now we can try rooting this device
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] prasad12ka4:
thanks mate

this was helpful

well if it gets laggy this means either you are low on RAM or three mobile can't handle it

did you try rooting?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] prasad12ka4:
thanks mate this is indeed helpful

hope someone tries it

and the method is bit complex

let's see if i can simplify it
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] vishwasnp:
Not tried rooting yet , I had rooted my LG optimus one and had almost got it bricked once :D .so I am a bit apprehensive now, but yes, Rooting was always in my mind ever since i purchased this , will surely root it in a few days, just looking out for the safest way ...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] prasad12ka4:
the method provided above is a bit complex but is for the handsets of this chipsets

if you ain't confident in rooting don't do it cause a working handset is always Better than a brick

i only had had posted there.....

thru trial and error i ve found tat when the screen goes blank connecting to charger brings it back ...... no need to actually switch off ....this is if u r at home ....

i also found out tat...if u click the option "pressing power button ends the call" the frequency of the problem decreases....the option is in acceessabillity tab in setting...and changing it back after sometime also helps ...

my freq reduced to one episode in 10-20 calls

i am gonna try the *#36# thing now

Probably not, it has to be kernel dependent, even bln option might be there, but since sources aren't there, success would evade this option.

Karbonn A9 problem in 3G

Hi Friends

I have Karbonn A9 working on android 2.3.6, It is dual sim mobile with one slot having WCDMA capability and other is only 2G,

When i use one sim in only WCDMA slot it gives 3G speed with symbol 'H' and when i inserted second sim in other slot speed reduce to only 50 kbps to 80 kbps with symbol 'H'.

So the problem is that when i use both card simultaneously it gives only 2G speed , and when i remove second sim it gives 3G speed, i have tried factory reset. Because of this problem currently i am using only one sim in WCDMA slot,other slot keeping empty

Is there any solution ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] prasad12ka4:
This is not a problem actually,

This is a normal functioning of a Dual Sim phone.

Sim one is for 3G

Sim two is for 2G

Both above is common in most dual sim handsets.

It uses 3G only where 3G network is available.

Also, Only one sim at a time can access the internet. Set a default sim which will do that
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Gauranggedia:
I know dear ,

But you havent yet understand my problem ?

My problem is that 3G speed comes only when there is a single sim inside, if i insert second sim internet speed drop down to 50 to60 kbps even in 3G mode.

Else if i disable second sim from dual sim setting 3 G works otherwise 3 G not working when both sim are UP
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] prasad12ka4:
This is unusual

Did you do factory reset?

Are you rooted?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Gauranggedia:
Dear for this problem i have given this mobile to service station and they have send this mobile to ahmedabad head office , where they have solved problem and was working fine for a week then sudden i got an error showing launcher stop unexpectedly , so i resent to factory setting , then phone works fine but the 3 G problem started again .

then i rooted my mobile and currently i am having " Supastock by kinghacker V.1 "

Do you have any solution?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pankmohan:
