Hi
I am Ashok from hyderabad
I bought this funbook on may 2012 and till now I used it for harly 1week rest of the time it was with the service center only it has replaced its mother board for four times due to automatic shut down problem it won't get started if we don't plug in the charging. I got a free advice from service center that you can't do much from this sh*t.
Finally it was such a sh*t ! Don't buy it, I am trying to sell it for a loss.
where is the service center of micromax in hyderabad
Praveen you can get the list from here http://micromaxinfo.com/support.php?state=Andhra+…
I am planning to buy a micromax funboox for 6300.
there are some queries, please help me.
1) can my MTS dongle(EVDO made by HUWAVEI) be used? if no how can it be used?
2)Can an external hard disk be used? or can a USB thru drive be used?
the shop sales man told no. but I am finding contradicting answers here!
3) can the tab be connected to a computer? like a phone or something!
please answer the query bro.
thanks
tony
Tony,
1) am not sure about the dongle, micromax is supporting on Tata photon that they are offering.
2) you can connect pendrive. External hard disk chances are less because most external hard drive gets power from the USB cable you can imaging connecting the USB to a desktop of laptop (they have ample power) and connecting to a tablet which is already loaded with limited power. The USB hard drives will not get the charge required and hence it will not work. But Pendrive are small with circuits and no moving parts and hence required less power and can connect easily with a tablet.
3) you can connect tab to PC and use the storage as pendrive. No tab cannot be used as a phone.
better buy iberry auxous03G
Can we use any other network dongle to use with micromax tab? or only tata docomo dongle?
I have a funbook the tablet keeps on shutting down is there any solution immediately?
can it support other dongle or EVDO modem except Tata Photon +?
yes it supports all unlocked dongle
I recently purchased the funbook and I do not understand how to operate it like transferring files from internal memory to SD, any site or video that can help me to understand it, another thing I am using tata photon ec156 and while connected I am not getting chat option in gmail, why is it so?
can we use usb keyboard, mouse, gamepad, bluetooth on micromax funbook?
Hey I am thinking of buying funbook. I just want to know thing about, you said tata photo postpaid come along with it so can I use a prepaid one too and can I watch 3d films on it?
