Display has great brightness levels compared to other devices.

its an IPS LCD panel.

has good sunlight liability too, but at a certain level.

pixel density is awesome compaerd to HTC DESIRE GSM (AMOLED SCREEN)

I'm coming here from the Nexus S

If I compare the two then Nexus S wins for me any day. However for this price point its got an amazing display. Only thing is Gamma seems higher on this. White's are pretty white and black seems a bit grayish of course can't compare to the depths of blacks of a and the ability to change the contrasts on most superamoleds.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] zeyaan:
at this price point display is good but u can never compare it wit Samsung galaxy series, but its decent and better brightness and Sun usage.

battery charging is very slow and it heats up too, ly solution charge the phone when ur phone is off, hardly takes 2hrs to charge 0to100, and wit out heating too.

How to set other new ringtone ?

There is no option in music player or in file manager for set ringtone.

We can only set the drfault ringtone.

Plz help if anyone have solution.....

Thanks in advance.....k
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sahil kaul:
Just do this in settings

Audio profile > general > voice call ring tone > choose a file manager to choose a ring tone

I installed es file manager to do that

Also I use Z player in which you can choose your ring tone.

Custom ringtone

having difficulies setting ur .mp3 as ringtone or alarms or notifications……

1. Create a folder as Media in your sdcard……i.e. /sdcard/Media/

2. In the Media folder create a Audio folder…i.e, /sdcard/Media/Audio

2. Now create folders like Ringtones…Notifications…Alarms…inside Audio folder..

i.e, /sdcard/Media/Audio/Alarms

/sdcard/Media/Audio/Notifications

/sdcard/Media/Audio/Ringtones

3. Now place ur mp3′s where u like….and u’ll see ur mp3 in your sound settings…

well, there is another way to do this…..

1. Simply create folders like Ringtones…Alarms…Notifications in ur sdcard…

i.e, /sdcard/Ringtones

/sdcard/Alarms

/sdcard/Notificatios

2. Now put your desired mp3 files where u like….

I hope this will be helpful for someone……if you already knew it thats gr8…….

the folders name is not case sensitive!… Ringtones is as same as ringtones…..

else no need to install an player to set ringtones........

go to widgets us the google music widget to open android's default music player and set ur desired ringtones.........alarms from there!...

Karbonn A18 issues

Guys

I bought karbonn a 18 on saturday. The phone gets a bit heated up when bein charged from the top and around the camera slots.

Anothr thing is that it lags too. How to overcome that?

Thirdly the sensors used to play games with tilting the phone to the sides doesnt work properly. I cannot just play those kind of games at all.

Is this problem consistent in all handsets or am i the only one?

Experts, please opine, what should I do? Just use it as it is or approach someone?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] shrikant11211:
yes the phone heats up but not too much its just warm

And my phone doesn't lag

... u shud try doing a factory reset

And yes sensor is not working smoothly
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] vshlkmr:
yup the accelerometer sensor is very less sensitive...but overall works fine for me, by the way overheating problem can be overcome using set cpu app...just decrease the processor speed..
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] TacTieTee:
thanks guys for the suggestions. i thought i was the only one. accelerometer works fine in other apps but not in games :(

wat is the ideal speed to clock the cpu??

I recently bought a18, while going through this thread, i saw the galaxy launcher and i decided to install it,

after installation, i couldn't move widgets, from reading the thread, i got to know i had to change permission,

with es file manager, i was able to change the permission and i mistakenly change the permission of the system folder too!

now my a18 is stuck on boot-loop, I've wiped and factory reset ted yet, its still on boot loop,

Can any tell me how to get out of this and do i need to re-flash the a18 Rom?

If i have to do that, where can i get the Rom?

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] TacTieTee:
no need to be jealous. we did not miss that . i feel a9+ and a21 are good phones but cannot beat a18. a18 is the master of all. my phone has been amazing , its two weeks since i bought it and i AM proud of it. only problem is the back cover which looks pretty cheap. anyways,

developers and knowledgeable guys, please tell me how am i suppose to use modded apk on the phone and how to add widgets on it?

i tried installing HD widgets. but i cannot add the widgets. similarly, i installed different kinds of clocks, but couldnt install them too.

also, do these types of phones have themes ? if yes how to install those themes?

lastly, how to make use of the root of this phone?

i cannot do anything new. :(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sahil kaul:
Move the apps to phone memory.. You should see the widgets then... What kind of themes are you talking about? As in what do you want to theme? And you should be able to use modded apk on this.. Just make sure they are not meant only for some phones out there... Otherwise any app should work

There is no universal apk Modder out there for the phone as per my knowledge. However there is APK Manager and APK tool for ICS out there that one can use on the desktop.
