Hey, I have been reading that the motherboard on some of the canvas phones is not supporting the 4.2.1 update.. That's the reason for the flashing screen problem.. Several people have changed the motherboard and then updated.. Then the problem seems to be solved.. Don't know if it's correct or not but have read several posts like that
[Micromax A116] Sauravh:
I received my phone on 24th may, if it is the motherboard issue, will micromax exchange the handset now? If yes, then how much time would it take or they'll replace it at desk
[Micromax A116] hardiktrivedi0612:
Even I don't know if it is exactly that problem.. If it is then, I think definitely yes they should change.. I am yet to go to the service center..
[Micromax A116] sheraz1015:

Micromax has withdrawn Official 4.2 update

Hi all

As I had the same screen blinking issue, I thought it wise to wait till the official update hits Goa service center. I called up on 29th June and they informed me it would be available next week. I called them up again on 3rd July and the girl at the service center informed me that 4.2 is available. How ever when I went there for upgradation, one guy(appears to be the main technician) informed me that micromax has withdrawn the update as there are some issues which are yet to get fixed and that the new version will be available within a couple of weeks. It is really sad. It is quite confusing as a lot of people had informed that they upgraded at micromax service station. If it is faulty, then how come micromax allowed them to update ?

Still waiting for some one to come out with a flawless custom ROM at this forum
[Micromax A116] neatearth:
Hi are you working on a bug free; flickering free to be more precise; 4.2 ROM ?
[Micromax A116] hardiktrivedi0612:
Updated

Hey, I went to the service center today to get it updated by them.. They flashed the same rom and gave it to me, with my screen flickering.. Then I asked them to fix it, they flashed 4.1.2 v.16 and gave me my phone back telling that your phone has been updated.. I left laughing from there. So they too had no answer for our problem..
[Micromax A116] hardiktrivedi0612:
Hey guys,

I went to the service center today and they also flashed the same rom available on the internet that has been causing these screen flickering issues.. So i don't know what to.. I am not able to flash any of the 4.2.1 based roms.. Help Please
[Micromax A116] hardiktrivedi0612:
Sorry bro, but that doesn't seem to be working for me. Thanks anyway
[Micromax A116] samir2k:
I also tried the same but no improvements, the flickering remains as it is. However lewa os april rom works flawlessly.
[Micromax A116] hardiktrivedi0612:
Can you please explain more properly?? And are you sure that this procedure works 100% because I have already flashed 4.2 using SP tools like more than 6-7 times and like some unlucky people I don't want to loose my IMEI and then do another procedure again and again..
[Micromax A116] neatearth:

Hi All

We all can actually write mails to MMX customer care center asking them to change our handset and provide us with new handsets with 4,2 pre installed. Though we have to be extra careful about not to root the phone and have to get the flickering issue while upgrading at the local service center.
[Micromax A116] hardiktrivedi0612:
I don't want to get a new phone because I actually saw the condition of the people at the service center who have been waiting for their phone replacements since 1 1&1/2 months.. Don't wanna take the risk.. Let me know if you are doing it :p
[Micromax A116] adi_sat123:
any of u got that flickering problem fixed???
[Micromax A116] hardiktrivedi0612:
I went to the service centre and they too have me the same rom:D
[Micromax A116] neatearth:
Hi

You are right. MMX's service reputation is not impressive at all and their customer care no is ringing for ever without anyone bothered to pick it up. Exchanging the phone is actualy not an option with MMX as the service center informed me that MMX has withdrawn the update. The news is misleading as service centers at other locations are providing updation. There seems to have some problem with certain devices only and MMX is not going to exchange them. SO I HAVE DECIDED I WILL SELL MY PHONE AND WILL GO FOR A BETTER ONE LIKE GOOGLE NEXUS 4(LG).

Thanks

Installed Samflare V1 ROM but Screen is blinking

I just installed samflare v1 rom. but now phone is working fine but my display screen is blinking continuously. What should i do now, should i go back to my previous stock rom 4.1.2 or is there any solution for that. please help me guys..
[Micromax A116] hardiktrivedi0612:
Welcome to the club bro.

Revert back to your stock 4.1.2 rom. I did the same. And for future use, don't try to flash those roms who have their base roms as MMX.
[Micromax A116] hardiktrivedi0612:
Any improvements??? :D :D

No, unfortunately no improvements... I am back on stock 4.1.2
[Micromax A116] niftysid:
This is really very strange

Hi hardik...

Ofcourse bro, i switched back to stock 4.1.2 now. But yesterday my whole night wasted in search of Blinking/Flickering display problem of A116.

I checked almost all the ROM threads, and in every thread some persons alws mentioned that after installing custom ROM (either samflare or samhd or meha hd or starkhd or modified roms ) that their display screen is goin on n off after installing n they all revert back to 4.1.2.

TO be honest, i found it quite surprising and strange that XDA is full of intelligent devs those can develop many S4 based rom for A116 everyday week but none of them cant found the Fix or solution to this flickering Issue. If XDA guys cant fix this bug then i dont think any one can do it.
[Micromax A116] Sauravh:
I feel the same bro! right now I'm back on stock rom. All the benefits of custom roms such as better battery, better performance is sacrificed due to blinking issue on 4.2.1.

Unfortunately, the devs also haven't kept the previous versions of the ROMs available :(

If they could at least provide the previous versions of there ROMs based on the 4.1.2 that would be great...

PS: I do keep backup of the ROMs I used such as JellyXperia, JellyDaemon.. however, lost the backups while formatting my PC a few weeks ago :(

Has any one of you tried this Stock ROM --> http://www.moulnisky.com/index.php?...201_4.2_MP_F3F8_B1_IN_MMX_09_FLASHER_USER.rar

i have never faced the flickering problem, i have used the stock rom's from moulnisky and never had any problem with it.

if you haven't tried this you can give it a try!!!!

i have even used this stock rom as base rom to port the canvas 4 rom for chd.

and till today nobody has faced any flickering problem on my rom.(at least nobody have reported it)
[Micromax A116] niftysid:
Already Tried this rom 1 month ago

hi Keanu

I already tried out this ROM on 10th june from Moulhinsky n my CHD was upgraded sucessfully, phone was also working fine except display screen is blinking continuously i.e on n off. Infact i Followed the video tut given by Gogi in installing this stock 4.2.1. you can check the link n tell me if any step is skipped or wrongly performed?

http://www.gogi.in/jelly-bean-42-micromax-a116.html

and you said no one had reported in your thread regarding flicker issue, the reason is very simple: you clearly mentioned that the base rom has to be 4.2.1 n it might not work with 4.1.2. But flicker/blinking issue alws arises when you upgrade from 4.1.2 to stock 4.2.1 or any custom 4.2.1.

Can you tell me 1 thing, If i install 4.2.1 even with display blinking n after that If i install Canvas 4 ROM or any custom ROM then the blinking issue will get resolved or not???

---------- Post added at 01:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 PM ----------

For last 2months...many ppl are wating for Kaydee's 4.2 ROM which is flickering free but he is no where now..not even responding to posts..

I hope If someone like Kumar abhishek or Keanu_ritz or Muntazir can develop some flicker/blinking free 4.2 based ROM. Infact if they can give us flicker free 4.3 ROM then we will be more happy:p:p
[Micromax A116] keanu_ritz:
about the procedure from the tut you followed

1. don't hit/press the "Download" button, instead use the "Firmware -> Upgrade" button.

2. don't plug in your battery as suggested in that tut, instead remove "battery - sims - sd Card" then connect your phone to pc.

and about your last question, i'm not sure if that will resolve your problem.
[Micromax A116] niftysid:
thanx for the reply...i,ll upgrade to stock 4.2.1 today again n will take of of these 2 steps you mentioned n tell you the result. But there are many ppl who reported about getting blinking display problem so i dnt think this prob occuring due to firmware upgrade button or battery removal b4 flashing.

*** Just tried installing 4.2.1 n taking care of your 2 steps....But my display screen is still blinking On/Off although all other functions of phone are working perfectly. So finally Once again i am reverting back to original 4.1.2 ROM. Anyways thanx for Suggestion.

Hope to see someday anyone comes with perfect fix to given blinking problem.
[Micromax A116] keanu_ritz:
i'm not trying to say that those two steps are causing the problem, i'm just telling the right way to do it!!

Hey guys,

But as soon as i reboot my phone after flashing it using the basic SP tools method, my screen continuously goes on and off. Has anybody else come across this problem?

PS: Am i the only one around here who thinks that the stock rom is better than any other custom roms for micromax a116?:laugh::confused:[/QUOTE]

Does Anyone know if the blue angle roms work on the IMATE PDA2K EVDO I am assuming that it is the CDMA version of the blue angle.

Can anyone clarify.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] hdbueller:
The PDA2K EVDO is indeed the CDMA version. It is sold by Sprint and Verizon in the U.S., and the roms are going to be different due to carrier settings and network info. I may be wrong,but I think that you will do big-time bad things to your phone if you try the roms not designed for the PDA2K EVDO.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] mjb:
Also sold as the "Harrier" by Telecom NZ, as a dual CDMA/EVDO device.

Hi,

Since i can't post in the thread, so I just highlight in here.

I've been using this rom for about a month. This rom is really nice but since the new update, it gets even better. Only one small thing, the LED flashlight widget in the quickpanel didn't show up although you have tick it in the settings.

That's all. I hope someone could tell this to Spizzy01 so that he can fix this.

Aurora Play Problems

Hello,

I just installed Aurora Play 1.1.0 and I am having problems which I think might be related to superuser.

The Rom works fine, but anything that requires root access gets frozen in place. My phone is rooted, I am pretty sure of it - not only the bootloader is unlocked but also, I did manage to initially change the clock speed to 1.4 ghz, and that change has remained so far.

However, if, for example, I try enabling root access on the ES File Explorer, it simply freezes the app (sort of like it is waiting for the confirmation from Superuser, but it never comes). I only ever saw the superuser authorization screen once when I changed the clock at first.

I am pretty sure the OC is not the problem, since I reinstalled the rom and did no OC on the 1st time at all, but the same problem persisted.

I would try uninstalling SU and installing that other superuser app on the market to see if that would solve the problem, but I couldn't manage to uninstall it.

Any thoughts on this? I would love to solve this problem since this room is outstanding on all other accounts.

PS.: I followed all instructions to the letter, and like I said I tried reinstalling the rom already. I am using Lupus v10 (tried Lupus v11 before on the 1st installation).

missing pixels in landscape app drawer

Spizzy, first and foremost congratulations on this great rom, it is fantastic! The only gripe I'm having is that when the app drawer is in Landscape mode it is cutting some pixels on the bottom (can't see the lower end of the blue highlight when using the ps controls). Other than that, all is perfect so far.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fenrir007:
It worked!

Thanks a lot, Spizzy! Whatever that package was, it worked great and now superuser is not giving me any headaches anymore. Everything works great and the rom is blazing fast!

Just one thing - when I checked the info that comes up on the pachage before installing it, it said it was for locked bootloaders, but I assume that was a typo (since the zip file is for unlocked, and mine is unlocked as well). Just mentioning since it could maybe cause a little confusion on people downloading it in the future.

Oh and I did use TWRP in the end - I guess it's the same thing.

In sms, when i type "paev"..i get the suggested correct name "parv" with 'mobile' and 'home'. But when i type the correct "parv", i get the same numbers with 'mobile' and 'history'. I want "home" instead of "history"

Other issue is, I have saved many numbers as 'mobile' and 'other'...but in sms contact list, many of those 'other' numbers comes under "VOICE" tag.

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msupp:
Hello everyone,

I am traveling throughout Europe, and have been very pleased with my Droid Razr Maxx. I used 10 different local sims no problem, but when I got to Russia I initially had an issue. I started (very very stupidly) playing around with the *#*#4636#*#* menu, and I selected "USA Band Only" ( the only option). Before this, when I manually searched for networks, all the local Russian ones showed up. Now, it finds nothing.

I've read a bunch of threads with this issue, and there are many different suggestions for fixing it. The one I had the most hope in was here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1916869

But, I am having difficulty getting my device recognized by RadioComm. I installed 11.3.2, and updated my drivers. I'm running 4.1.2 on my Razr Maxx, so I don't know if this is why it won't work. Also, RadioComm claims that it only works with Windows 2000 and XP, and I have Windows 7.

So...if anyone has any ideas as to how to fix this issue (either the RadioComm one, or, if there is a better way to fix the Band issue, then that would be great. I started a new thread because I found nothing for phones running ICS.

This is a major problem because I need a phone for the rest of my travels, particularly in Russia...Thanks.

See if you can find a radio.img and try just flashing that by itself, in recovery. That might work and it might be better than fastbooting back to stock.
