Frequently Asked Questions About Funbook
1) Does the funbook comes Pre-loaded Tata Photon+ in box?
Ans: Well, it doesn’t, you will have to shell out extra 500 Rs to get it and activate it, there are three modes of activation:
2) Does it support other modems than tata photon+?
Ans: Yes, it supports most of the dongles, including 3g and 2g, but in most of my experience, the dongles which uses sim to connect work most of the times (GSM). The Default Stock Firmware of Micromax Funbook is locked to use only Tata Photon Plus or the same manufacturer cdma dongle. You can bypass this restriction by using any Custom ROM posted in this site and connect any of your GSM dongle.
In the demo, i am myself using a Idea netsetter, and the green light continously switched on, shows that its connected.
3) Does funbook support HD And powerful games like Shadow Gun?
Ans: Let the screenshot do the talking
4) Does the play store supports all games and apps?
Ans: Funbook has many apps and games locked ,so you can change your phone type to Samsung Galaxy S2, using Allwinner app thread posted in our blog itself, check it out.

7) When I press my Funbook from back, i can see spots on lcd display, Is it fine?
Ans: Well, its totally fine, the spots you see are liquids in lcd screen, if you press hard on back cover the liquid comes up, so my advice is not to push it too hard, or you might damage your screen.
8) Skype doesn’t work on my tablet, what to do?
Ans: For solving Skype video calling problem. Just use the Skype version 2.5.160 and the updated Skype 2.5.4.162.
Download Here.
9) Why is the touch auto-functioning when in charging mode? Is the touchscreen poor?
Ans: Well, your touchscreen is perfect and nothing to worry about. Its due to the high volt capacity of the Micromax provided charger which discharges more electricity than needed and hence a static electric field is transformed to the Touch screen surface making it auto-touch. You can either use any other charger which matches the charger slot pin and produces lower output than 5v (Output of 4v is recommended).

I have mounted a 16GB External SD Card. When i go to settings->Storage it shows it is mounted and card size is shown.
But when i download any app from play store, it always gets installed in phone’s internal memory or internal SD Card. from Settings-> Apps if i try to move the app, it moves to internet SD Card memory.

I am facing a strange issue with Battery status in funbook. My battery is charging properly (in around 4 hours). It will charge till 100%. My tablet shuts down when battery status comes down to 50%. It will not give any warning. It works for around 3+ hours. I am already having CWM installed. I have restored also from previous backups. Also I tried syncing battery stats by wiping battery stats in CWM. But all that is of no use.
My tablet is working fine but the charge status or percentage is not coming correctly. It will be nice if someone helps in this case.
Its a battery callibration issue…Boot into CWM recovery and then navigate to “Advanced” option and then select “Wipe Battery”
Already I have done calibration by wiping stats in CWM. But no success. Is there any other way to calibrate ?
