I think it is some software for transferring files..Something like a media manager..But you wont need it..You can directly transfer files to memory card by connecting to PC and enabling USB storage on in the tablet.

in my XP dev manager identified it as android device under 'other devices' but when I clicked 'update driver' it is asking me to select device type.

what option do I select here ? the options are 1394 debugger device, 61883 debugger device, disk drives etc. (long list)

I tried w/o selecting one but I keep getting options for CD rom. in the final step it was looking for a file with .inf extension and couldn't identify drivers in ADB folder.

p.s. in my computer the device shows up as 3 separate removable disks with labels I, J and K.

Can you please post a screenshot..??

I'm using Windows 7 and not aware of this thing.

Well 3 drives are normal, One for Internal ROM, 2nd one for Internal SD Card, 3rd one is the Ext. SD Card.

Right off the assembly line
shutdown when using USB cable

This is for folks suffering from funbook shutdown when using min USB to USB cable provided by micromax.

The metal shield around the USB pins in funbook is connected to ground (-ve). In the cable, the shield is connected to +ve pin. So when you insert the cable, this creates a short between +ve and -ve and funbook shuts down. As a temporary fix I wrapped a layer of cello tape around the shield on the cable so that it does not make contact with the shield on funbook USB socket. Now it works perfectly. Be careful when inserting the cable, otherwise cello tape will move/tear and it'll short.

I'm not sure this is a fault with all the cables or only a few people have this problem. I felt the problem was intermittent in the initial days and became worse later. It takes a little longer to shutdown if you are charging. Not sure if that was the case when I tried earlier or the short in the cable got worse later.

Also got a USB GPS module working with funbook. Had to compile cdc-acm kernel module for that. More on that later.

Install the script, otherwise you'll miss all the fun man :)

It'll fix many problems along with updating GAPPS and doing many things.
