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).

i purchased mmx400r. intermittently connection is lost. reset button non functional. breathing blue lead of power symbol (second from left) on connection but not able to switch off unit or change to wps mode. help required to correct these problems
Is it working fine with other device? Like, try connecting it to PC or laptop and see whether it works fine there. Guess something is wrong with the mmx400r device.
Can we unlock the tata photon which is free with micromax funbook,if yes how?
I believe Tata Photon Plus is a CDMA device and CDMA devices cant be unlocked to use different network provider.
does it support usb gamepad?
When installing hd games do i need to create the folder to extract the data pack?or it creates automaticaly?
The folders are created automatically. And I am not sure about gamepad, but I see many users successfully connect their gamepad to Funbook using the required drivers for its installation. We will gather information and post a good article for the same sooner.

I am facing some issues with root access in funbook tablet. My friend downloaded ‘SUPERUSER’ app from google play. After that he updated the SU binary. Then later on I uninstalled SUPERUSER. But after un-installing superuser app, I lost root access. Now my other apps are not able to get root access. Even i tried doing factory reset but its of no use. I am new to android devices. Kindly please help me in this case.
Just install this app and check what result you get. This app will show you whether your device is rooted or not.

I have done this and checked. Micromax funbook comes with root access by default. But then SUPERUSER app was installed and problem started.
Actually i wanted to install CWM recovery as per the steps given on this blog.
https://funbook.gizmolord.com/tutorial-installing-clockwork-mod-recovery-on-micromax-funbook/
But it failed because of some permissions not granted. So I thought of uninstalling SUPERUSER app. But after uninstalling SUPERUSER, the root access was gone. Now my tab is only able to give root access if SUPERUSER app is installed. I want to install CWM but no success.
Is it possible to uninstall SUPERUSER app and still have root access ? I want my tab to be same as it was before installing this app.
I am facing problems now with installation of CWM recovery. I want to install this recovery.
Kindly help.
I have cheked this app. The problem happened after SUPERUSER app was installed on my tab and SU binary was updated from this app.

If SUPERUSER app is installed, then I can give root access to other application. But if SUPERUSER app is uninstalled, my root access is gone. I have checked this with rootchecker.
Micromax Funbook comes with root access by default. ROOT was working before SUPERUSER was installed. But now SUPERUSER app controls this root access. I want my tab same as it was earlier.
Actually I was trying to install CWM recovery as per link in this blog. But it failed because of some permissions were denied. So i thought might be the issue is becasue of SUPERUSER app. So I thought of uninstalling this app and tried. But Uninstalling SUPERUSER also removed my root access.
You need to Keep SuperUser Installed. Its good and needed for security of the Tab.
Appreciate for your responses and help. I am unable install CWM recovery as per your instaructions. That is why I thought to remove SUPERUSER.
I am getting below error while running recovery-install:-
* daemon not running. starting it now *
* daemon started successfully *
failed to copy ‘recovery.img’ to ‘/data//recovery.img’: Permission denied
/system/bin/sh: cannot create /dev/block/nandg: Permission denied
Similary I tried to run ‘SDvUe.exe’ for swapping sd card to external sd card.
https://funbook.gizmolord.com/script-change-sdcard-to-memory-card/
I am again getting error (as below):-
* daemon not running. starting it now *
* daemon started successfully *
remount failed: Operation not permitted
failed to copy ‘mod_vf.sh’ to ‘/data/mod_vf.sh’: Permission denied
Unable to chmod /data/mod_vf.sh: No such file or directory
failed to copy ‘cp_all.sh’ to ‘/data/cp_all.sh’: Permission denied
Unable to chmod /data/cp_all.sh: No such file or directory
Check path of TF-card and make modification
/system/bin/sh: /data/mod_vf.sh: not found
Your TF-card mounted in /mnt/extsd
remote object ‘/system/etc/vold.fstab.mod’ does not exist
rm failed for /data/mod_vf.sh, No such file or directory
Press any key to continue . . .
So I think the issue is with permissions and thats why I was thinking that the issue is becasue of newly installed SUPERUSER. Might be my fault.
Kindly help in this case. I want to install CWM and run the script.
That happens sometimes with me too, it is not super user fault, it happens just like that, just restart tab or replug it, that solves my problem.
