Canves HD worst phone

Hiii,

I have just bought a new canvas had from market today's evening and then i have updated android market and then downloaded an application (Power AMP).The moment this application was downloaded in my phone,suddenly phone software got crashed out and started showing error like launcher crashed,calender crashed etc. and i was not able to use the phone after even restarting the phone a couple of times. Can u please tell me that if anyone else had also face such kind of problem previously and now in this condition what will be your suggestion about this phone as this phone now made me very disappointed.
[Micromax A116] ThunderDesire:
Go to system settings->apps->search Google play store in all tab. Hit Clear data button when property page for play store appears. Restart device, go to play store, hit accept button when msg pops up.

By applying above solution I eliminated same issue on my device.

Re:External card swap

Hey whatsoever this doesn't work.Even the link you have given doesn't seem to do the expected job.Once i copy my file in es explorer and reboot it shows blank.It doesn't detect both internal and external card.FYI!! My cards are of FAT32 only. Please help me boss.
[Micromax A116] goel.abhishek01@gmail.com:
Hiii,

Thanks a lot for your kind reply.

Can u please tell me one thing that after

following the above mentioned procedure

weather this type of bug is permanently removed from your phone

and then weather you are able to download any application

like Power AMP or Flipboard in which this error usually comes as

mentioned on internet by lots of users.
[Micromax A116] ThunderDesire:
As far as my experience is concerned, I was able to download apps like Flipboard from play store after clearing play store data. You can apply same method (clearing data & cache) to individual app which is not executing as expected. I hope this will solve your problem permanently.
[Micromax A116] LoonyLynx:
I did a lot of stuff on my handset but did not face any such issues ! If it's a new phone, I would say boot into the recovery menu (Press vol up + vol down + power) and do a factory reset after wiping out the user and system data, cache and dalvik cache. And while you are in the recovery menu, run a test on the NAND storage. I don't have the stock recovery on my phone so can't say exactly how, but I remember that there several tests that you could run from the recovery menu. Try to test the storage and memory, if available. If anything doesn't work, get your set replaced ASAP ! Otherwise (and I believe it's just an OS issue) a factory reset should fix everything up ! Lemme know what happens ! :)
[Micromax A116] goel.abhishek01@gmail.com:
I had cleared data and cache of google play then restarted my phone....still the problem is same....now what to do....???
[Micromax A116] clearNET:
hey all,

just wondering... on this handset using stock rom.... how do i create folders to group apps? ive done so many times with htc and samsung devices by simply dragging an app icon on top of another one or pressing menu and having and option to create a folder.

how can i achieve this using stock rom on the a116?

thx:confused:
[Micromax A116] eagledipesh:
Use different launcher....
[Micromax A116] Abhiroxx:
no one wanna answer me??
[Micromax A116] LoonyLynx:
You can't do that in the app drawer if you're using the stock ROM. You can, however, create folders on the homescreens by doing the same thing, dragging and dropping apps on top of each other, but not in the app drawer. You have the following options :

1) Use another launcher

2) Use Unity Launcher. The name says its a launcher but it's actually an add-on to the launcher that you're already using. What it does is gives you access to an Ubuntu like sidebar (or the one on huge Samsung devices) from where you can access applications from within any app.

Have fun ! :)

Well.. that's because it's a kind of a relative question my friend. You feel that the colors are washed out when watching videos. Now what you feel depends on which device you are coming from. If you're coming from a AMOLED device then you would obviously feel that the colors are washed out ! Even if you're coming from a good LG phone, you'll feel that the colors are less punchy, though even the MMX has an IPS screen. But regardless, the screen on the A116 is not as punchy as some of the other comparable devices out there. It is 720p no doubt in that but the colors are a bit mild.. soft.. So your question is a bit vast. Specifically, do you mean to ask what you can do to resolve this ? or improve this ? or do you feel that it's an issue with just your handset ?
[Micromax A116] eagledipesh:
I have noticed it, SW rendering on MX player is little better then HW rendering. TRY it.

[Micromax A116] LoonyLynx:
Hmmm.. Haven't used the Optimus One personally, but used a friends' once or twice a long time ago. I had the LG Optimus L9 before the A116 and it had a lovely screen ! Though the resolution was qHD but it was much more vibrant ! Anyways, to get a bit better color quality, try Sony's Bravia Engine 2 on your phone. I flashed the Jelly Xperia ROM and I feel that the colors have improved while watching videos, pictures and playing games.

PS - If you are able to find Touchwiz 5 for the A116, please lemme know too !
[Micromax A116] LoonyLynx:
Hey ! You released the JellyXperia ROM for the A116, thanks a lot bud ! I installed it but am facing an itsy-bitsy issue.. Was trying to post on the original thread but since am new, wasn't allowed to :( But here you are ! So I'll quote my original post

"Everything works apart from the Google Play Store. It opens up and I am able to search through the store and also view 'MyApps' but am unable to download anything, or even update preinstalled applications for that matter. Whenever I try, I get the following error message :

"Update for '(name of the app)' could not be downloaded due to an error. (Error while retrieving information from server. [RPC:S-5:AEC-0])"

I am using apptoide at the moment for downloading apps that I really need. I really like the ROM and besides, there aren't much ROMs available for my phone yet. So any idea guys ?? Any and every kind of suggestion/feedback is hugely appreciated !"

That's whats happening ! I really wanna keep using this ROM.. Thanks ! :)

[Micromax A116] hemal7980:
Are you sure that the launch of A116 is delayed to Feb end. I dont think so coz their FB page is showing fresh image of A116 almost daily with coming soon status so if it will delay by more week or so , many might start losing interest in buying it & might switch to some alternative. Also A110 has gone Out of Stock everywhere & I personally think its supply is being stopped by MMX to create a hype for A116 so it atleast goes a hit in its first round. So i dont think launch will be delayed more than 10th feb. Please do let us know from where did you got this news of delayed launch upto feb end.

No worries, you can still flash the entire stock ROM, follow the steps mentioned on this thread, dont replace the recovery if you need stock recovery or dont wanna root.

[Micromax A116] _Behemoth:
You cant use that app unless you have BLN support in the kernel. Thats why I asked. ROM creators could add BLN support to their ROM's and we could just use the app to configure BLN.

I hope someone adds BLN mod into a A116 ROM.

Also can someone link me to a good screen guard & case for this phone? I searched this thread but didn't find any.

Thanks.
[Micromax A116] eagledipesh:
I do understand, which is why wanted you to try and report if the Kernel/ROM already supports.

For cases and Screen gaurd --> use the search feature known as google, Help your self!

Read changelogs of all the ROM's but didn't find BLN anywhere. And I just bought a screen guard off of ebay.

SP Flash tool not detecting MMX A116

Hi,

I am using SP Flash tool in Windows7 64bit PC. This tool is not detecting my mmx A116. I am using SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1248.0.96

Does anybody has any idea, why it is not detecting. ?

[Edit] I am using pc with AMD processor.

[Micromax A116] BlueVirus:
When you connect A116 to PC, to to usb options and "connect as CD-ROM" option.

Install 64 bit drivers. Reboot PC (just to confirm the driver has been installed.

Again in USB options, select "Media device (MTP) option. Wait for some time until the driver gets installed.

Then run SP Flash Tool. It should work.
[Micromax A116] chetanshanbhag:
Hi Mithun

After entering the stock recovery menu do not use the power button to select any of the options...instead you need to press the left (context menu) and the right (back) touch sensitive buttons simultaneously and hold for a sec. For details Google :

Play Store Works !

Thank you everyone all who replied to my query (and also to those who read and thought about the solution) ! The Play Store finally works ! I kept looking in Aptoide and finally found an update to the Play Store. Installed the update, went into settings, cleared the cache and the data, restarted the phone, tried again and everything worked ! Though I had tried to do the same multiple times before, it seems that the version of the app itself had to be updated. Now I have the latest Play Store with the new UI, with big pictures and softer accents. So thanks everyone ! :)

The only thing left is the Walkman widget now. The JellyXperia ROM doesn't have a widget for the Walkman app :( Any ideas guys how to get that ?

Use greenify app and hibernate all those apps which eats battery and ram when the screen is trurned off
[Micromax A116] dkn00b:
While charging the screen is affected, this could be due to the charger. Not sure exactly why but it does play a role with screen sensitivity.

As for the battery drain issue, factory reset your mobile if that doesn't fix it then could be some hardware issue if non of ur apps are causing it.
[Micromax A116] LoonyLynx:
This is abnormal behavior. There is for sure something wrong with the hardware ! No apps you install can fix this. Get it replaced again if possible. And about the screen acting up when connecting the charger to it, it's a known issue with MMX phones and there is no resolution to it. If you go to the service center, even they won't know what to do. They will just acknowledge that yes, it's an issue but nothing else. I strongly suggest you to get another exchange.
[Micromax A116] jayas.mayank:
I cannot exchange me phone now sir...also service center doesn't HV solution for this prob... is there any HD camera app which captures HD photos and records full HD videos?
[Micromax A116] LoonyLynx:
I dont know what you mean by HD photos, but you can definitely click 8 megapixel photo with your MMX A116. As for HD video, go into the camera settings and change the video quality to 'fine' for 1080p videos and to 'high' for 720p videos. You cant, however, take panorama shots with the default camera interface. You can download apps from the play store to take panorama shots. Hope that helps :)

MMX Canvas HD A116 Screen Ghost when connected to the USB cable.

Hello everyone ! As I said mentioned before, I have been facing the same issue with all my MMX phones. So I was fooling around with different chargers and USB cables and I think my phone acting normally now. I bought a Nokia Lumia 520 for my sister and because it has an independent charger with a fixed cable, and a pretty long one at that (Not like the one we get with our phones, with a charger brick and a single cable to charge and for data syncing), I used that for charging my A116. I must says that when I am charging my phone through the Lumia charger, it works just fine ! So what I'd request all you guys to do is to try all the different chargers and data cables and maybe we can list all those which work, for the benefit of everyone who has MMX phones. Hope this helps :)
