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.
We Can change it to Samsung Galaxy S2 as most of The specs are same and it won’t matter much as mostly all things are same, both s2 and funbook have 800X480 Screen Resolution, Both Have Dual Mali-400 GPU.
5) Does the funbook comes pre-rooted,or its need to be rooted like any other device?
Ans: Micromax Funbook Comes Pre-Rooted out of box, so no need to get it rooted and void warranty.
6) Can I connect usb mouse and keyboard to my funbook?
Ans: You can directly connect your usb mouse or keyboard and your tablet will recognize it automatically.
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).

How to flash the tablet
How to flash the tablet
Hi,
First of all, thanks for the great articles.
Two days before, i bought micromax @ chennai. I m using internet thru wifi & everything works fine. Even youtube videos are loading in a flash (mine is 2mbps net). But, whenever i try to access Google apps store – it says connection timed out.
I have restored factory settings twice. But still the same result.
I made a call to cus care & they said to try using Tata Photon 3G dongle.
Have you tried using any other WiFi connection? It seems that the problem is with your connection and not tab. (as you have tried factory reseting)
Just for once use any other wifi connection and ur problem will be resolved probably, and then you will be able to use wifi of ur own too.
Thanks all lot guys…..I’ll try that for sure & comment here afterwards.
Thanks fellows……at last………it worked. The probelm is with my wi fi. Today i accessed play store from my university’s wifi & it opened in a flash.
Seems……this guy also had the similar problem..

Hi Sir,
Micromax Funbook is still getting switch off after 5 minutes of accessing Internet and gets on only after connecting to power supply. My battery is 88% charged..still the problem is there. ..please HELP!!
Looks Like you got a faulty piece from micromax, you should go to the micromax service center to get it checked.
Shashwat Sir,
Other users are also facing the same problem of automatically the Funbook gets switch off after connecting to Internet. The screen gets totally blank and it does not power on. It only get power on by connecting to Power Supply. Further, I have rooted the tablet as per your instruction. I use Internet via dongle. This is a 3G Dongle (unlocked Idea Netsetter E1732 model), I use Reliance 3G Sim. I access net via Opera Browser because Dolphin HD browser gets crashed as soon as it gets connected.
Well,I also use internet via a dongle too, and a idea netsetter with aircel sim,and no crashing for me, did u used the clean ics rom or are u running on micromax rom?
Sir,
I am using clean ICS ROM that means I have rooted the tablet as per your instruction. Is there any problem with setting or so?? It seems like operating system crashes after connecting to dongle. Or is there problem with Opera Browser?
Try Flashing again or get back to original micromax rom and see whether in it, the dongle works or not:

Shashwat,
I have visited Micromax service center and they created a job card. They will replace the mother board to resolve the issue of automatically switching off the tab when connected to dongle. They told me that the repair will be done in 10 days.
Shashwat, Can you tell whether the funbook will connect to Micromax MMX 400R Mi-Fi device???

Satyendra
I had the same problem.. Check my post…you have to disable Zero CD in ur modem using PUTTY….
Rimal,
Thanks for ur suggestion. I have disabled the CD-ROM in my usb dongle as per your instruction. Now it not showing Internal storage and data of Micr Sd card inserted in dongle. However, I have already visited Micromax service center yesterday and they are in process of changing the motherboard of my funbook. This will take 10 days.
Can you tell whether the funbook will connect to Micromax MMX 400R Mi-Fi device???

Micromax MMX 400R Mi-fi device might be supporting. Cant confirm though. Anyone having this device should confirm this.
