I think this topic must be closed... we all tried what was in our strength. But Micromax not giving out the kernel to the public is too bad on their side. Whats the point using An Open Source Software in your phone when you don't open up what you have modified and let us openly use our phones! Well i kept A60 as a spare android for times when i need one. I have moved to Milestone. I now regret getting this too as it has a locked bootloader. But it has work arounds and so i brought this. Well Samsung would have been a better and cheaper choice for qwerty android. Anyways Thanx for all your help and support here...

@rudie_techie hmm,though the part on the development front really needs a pushover but i believe this still stands as the sole discussion group for micromax andro so i believe we should let the content pour in....but sad that these people arent listening

@krishna-man please dont post links to paid software download links...dont want to force into removing..but it should be better if you could remove the post... :)

Open source

micromax people arent sharing the kernel.. doesnt that mean that they are not breaking the open source license??

if they are, then we can force micromax people to release the kernel..

@svprm-hey man use the app called audio manager pro and then use that to set the system audio levels for different profiles as per your need sometimes the master volume gets set down to zero ..so i think that should solve your problem and it problem persists then you will definitely have to take to to the service center

@fonehacker thanks man...great share :)

Just ten problems by me !!

I have got my android (definitely a60) just few days back and I find the following troubles with it. iS there any way out?

1. Battery gets heated (over) during charging process.

2. How to close the music player? I mean is pausing the song and then clicking back key the only way?

3. Installed set CPU but it is asking for root access. So shall I root it? Will that expiry my warranty? I dont want to void my warranty because this is MICROMAX and not nokia/samsung (upon which I can rely). I have got 1 + 2 years warranty..

4. Dont you find 600 MHz slow for running certain games like Angry Birds Rio?

5. Officially, wont there be update to Froyo?

6. When I try to run the recovery mode (learnt from previous posts, and thanks for it), it shows the the green android guy and with the sign of ( ! ). Is that because, it is unrooted?

7. Certain .3gp are not getting played. Is that because of their resolution size??

8. I am using TATA DOCOMO,when I unselect " use only 2G service" , I get sign of 3G while using GPRS. So does that mean, I am using 3G services? However no surplus charges are being deducted.

9. Android Market. I am unable to download files from Android Market, it is saying that the download is paused. How to resume it? In the initial days I had downloaded few of the files from it.

10. Has anybody experienced touch screen getting slow? Does that count in warranty?

11. This list is enough :p

You guys are really doing good..

Sorry, one more.

12. If MICROMAX guys release A70, then can we install that ROM in A60?? :rolleyes:

    Phone Details
    _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

    The tech specifications-The Tech Specifications

    the price of this phone (unlocked) is-150 US$(6800 INR)

    _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
    Rooting
    _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

    to root the phone-

    use Universal Androot and its soo easy-download it from here-Universal Androot

    1.download the apk file
    2.use root explorer already installed on the device,and install the universalandroot
    3.and then simply click root and.... bingo u are done with it ..

    the phone has no force closes due to this and u can anytime unroot the device using universalandroot...so dont worry about it

    _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
    Battery Life
    _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

    to increase the battery life do the following

    1.download set cpu
    -either buy it from market or get it from other source(google it people)
    2.root the phone if you haven't done it already
    3.start set cpu and goto profiles tab
    4.select enable profiles
    5.click on add profile
    a)click charging ac/full-600 max and 600 min
    b)charging usb/full -600 max and 600 min
    c)charging /full-480 max and 480 min
    d)temp>50C-480 max and 122 min
    e)screen off-122 max and 122 min
    f)battery <31% -245 max and 122 min

    6.Word of advice is to -a)turn off auto sync
    b)use only a single home replacement app,f you are using multiple like launcher pro ,adw with the
    default launcher,then use home manager(free from market)and then kill the other
    running home launchers
    c)and also use a very light on resources home screen setup,like the one that i use(the launcher is
    launcher pro)(the screenshots in the attachment)
