I'm totally fed up with the Wifi not working. Sometimes it connects, sometimes it doesn't.

Any advice?

Okay, but not an option for funbook, POS 2800mah batt.

True... with a lot of new, tablets and phones this is not an option

Restart tab. restart wifi, make sure to forget the old network, change wifi pin, make sure no other device is connected with the router, change wifi name, repeat and rinse, pray to god.

The exact steps that I followed earlier, fine for now, dunno for how long.

Thanks bro...

I havent played much to give a judgement...but the screen is very responsive...just that it lags sometimes after I open 2-3 things one after other

the screen guard I got on tab is very clean and without bubbles from flipkart...will put new screen guard after sometime now...and will post a pic of it soon

Those are micromax apps, useless, click the small grid icon on top right to open app menu to find all apps, looks like you've never used an android phone before, the app menu is accessed from top right, you can drag app icons to home screen.

yup never ever touched android ...although used wp,sym,s40.ios

yaah i went to that file manager...

i didnt find any uninstaller nor terminate any running application

To uninstall apps, click and hold icon from app menu, it will come to home screen, then drag it to uninstall text on top.

Micromax apps can't be uninstalled normally.

Don't worry, it happens with everyone new to Android

Yes you are missing out something!
Actually in some custom ROM(don't remember the exact name) the play store app is not installed, so you need to separately install it later on.
In stock ROM you don't need to install Play store since its already available.

Also guys please suggest good applications for
uninstallation software -> Titanium Backup, although you can simply uninstall an app from Settings -> Apps -> Select the app to be uninstalled and click on Uninstall button
terminate running software -> No need of separate s/w IMO, simply Go to Settings -> Apps -> Running tab -> Stop the required process/app
office -> Funbook comes with Documents to Go 3.0 which is very good IMO. Other free option is Kingston Office
video player -> MX Player
music player -> Using stock music player currently so can't recommend any

Uninstallation software: Titanium backup, this will allow you to uninstall system software, remove system softwares through this(like Mstore), be careful, a wrong touch(which happens a lot with funbook) could uninstall a necessary system software and make your system useless, always backup the software before uninstalling it, for non system software uninstall from normal app settings.

Terminate running software: Advanced task killer(made by Rechild), this won't stop softwares that have running separate services(green apps in advanced task killer), in android no task killer app could close them, you need to force stop them for app settings menu, you could directly open that menu from advanced task killer(long press a green running app).

Office: Kingsoft office. The documents to go that comes free with funbook works good as well but can't be updated due to some signing error, you could uninstall using titanium and reinstall it from play store.

Video player: MXplayer works very good, but has minor hitching issues, also get VLC media player, its really good as well.

Music player: Stock player is great, but has minor issues with audio hitching, you could try winamp and real player(I'm using this).


PS: The default android store is updated to google play as soon as you start it, its play store now.

Ha ha.. done all that. It worked once, but not this time.

I have a backup of the ROM made before this Wifi trouble started. I will try to Flash it and see if that works.

Is this a hardware problem or ICS problem?

Thanks tkin...now I am much comfertable with android

This is an ICS problem, this problem has existed in android for a long time, from gingerbread days, google couldn't fix it, just like how they couldn't fix chrome for android.

In my case,turning off wifi, and restarting works mostly.
