Karbonn A18

[naikwadisd]

Dear zxcvbn1,

I faced no problems for AC as well as USB charging!!
Back cover having a squeaking sound!! Not a big concern though!
After i checked my screen on a white background found a small bright dot!! Seems to be a pixel burn problem!!
But as far i am using it no problems!! Yeah HD games work superb,tested with MAXPAYNE....
I have bought this cell to test ICS and to my surprise its a phone with features above a test phone
RomToolBox Pro and Titanium Backup are worth root apps to use!!

 

[HE-MAN]

thats what i was saying earlier the phone is pre rooted so root apps work

bought the phone today for 9400... screen is very good and crisp.... so happy

 

[naikwadisd]

To my surprise!!!!!!!! The phone has super capacitive LCD display and u can operate it using fingernails and even with hands inside glove!!!
The same is in lumia 910 which is yet to be launched!!! LoL on that!!!

Re: Karbonn A18 - Battery life

Hi,
As u ppl already have the handset, can one of u do a heavy usage and one moderate usage battery review of this handset and share the comments?

This would help a lot of aspiring buyers as battery life is one of the utmost priority for almost all Android users

 

[HE-MAN]

in my opinion battery life actually depends on how you use it... i personally make sure that i kill all apps in the background screen brightness also is a factor... one thing i did notice is that it takes a long time to charge the battery to full and the last i have seen is 99% did anyone got it to 100

@ HE-MAN

No offence dear but majority of us out here are pro smartphone users by now .... so, we can cut out those simple battery saving tricks and zero down to the standalone quality of the battery provided with Karbonn a18.

It would be more helpful if u could share ur daily usage stats and the corresponding battery performance with us.

 

[HE-MAN]

pro smartphone user looking for karbonn a18 no offence taken.... also i did not mention any tricks for battery saving read the post properly.... to the point normal usage my internet was on for a whole day, played some games, did some calling and clicked lots of photos and video recording the battery last one day after full charge

1.I find problem in touch during charge like that if i click one application or word in keyboard it comes other

its this happen only charging

isit my phone problem or all other mobile also same

2.Is it heavier weight mobile

a guy on flipkart suggested to change the charger and use a branded one to solve this problem.

Hey, I was considering Karbon A 18 for its native video calling feature. Karbon website mentions that A18 can make native video calls (Not the Video Calls through Application Skype, Tango). Can you confirm this. And how about battery life and build quality. The Pictures are good. With a little bit tinkering in Photoshop, the photos will be nice. The front cam appears decent for video calls only or for small photos. But I am not interested in the Camera. My main requirement is front camera with native video calling.

There is no other touch screen phone which supports this feature under 10,000. Most of the phone have front cameras just for video chats or for skype. Except Samsung Primo, Nokia C5, there is no other native video calling phones under 10,000. Other option is Samsung Omnia (Windows Phone) and Samsung Wave III. Both are priced @ 15,000 which is out of my budget. But stretching the budget to 18,000 you will get samsung galaxy tab 2 (3100) which has calling and video calling feature. But you cannot carry a tablet in your pocket.

 

[zxcvbn1]

are you use official karbonn a18 charger??
are you checked with keyboard typing during charging?

 

[HE-MAN]

native video calling works flawlessly without any lag tried with bsnl sim....

I am also facing touch problems while charging one thing i noticed when i charge it my pc using usb connection the touch problem doesnt occur only when i use the charger from the socket it does give random touch

 

[zxcvbn1]

me too it happen only charger not usb
you may try other samsung charger

 

[comp@ddict]

^^ Same with Funbook. I use USB only to charge. The charger sucks

hi guys, the a18 seems an appealing option after mm is failing consistently to fill the shelves with a100s. What I'd like to know is that is there any other budget phone with similar specs but with a bit larger screen than this one. ? Maybe a 4.5 incher or a 4.7??

Thank!!
