I have heard about this on another website. Don't remember now.
This sounds like a serious issue. Anyone else confirm this?
BTW, what is the cheapest ongoing offer now? Everywhere it is Rs6499 or similar.

I don't use the charger that came with it.. we can get better chargers for 40 rupees... I prefer LG charger and USB charging... no probs so far with touch as ppl in this thread mentioned... no issues like this either...
Take it to Service guys..
Please tell which website?
And yes though i am feeling that current problem in microusb and HDMI port while the tablet is charging....
i haven't felt any issue with the touch as it was mentioned in the beginnig of the thread
but still what about the current problem?

I don't remember where I read that, but I think I found the cause of the problem.

Micromax Funbook P300 - User opinions and reviews
I have an LG P500 charger. Will that work?
EDIT: Can any Funbook owner tell me what's the charge voltage/current rating on the device?
And, how is shopping at themobilestore.in website? They are offereing an 8GB SDcard.

It's a miniUSB charger, right?
My LG charger says 5.1V, 0.7A. Technically it would work, but will require twice the charging time.

it's pin charger. (probably 2.5mm) and no, don't use that lower rating lg charger, .... if FB fetches too much current that the supply, then the charger will get hot hot hot.
and may burn too.

^^ FB can't draw more than 0.7A from the charger at 5.1V. So there can be no over current.
BTW, if it's a pin charger, it won't fit anyway.

Guys,
I am a happy user of Micromax FB from the past 7 Days. There is no issue as of now with my tablet. Charging's perfect, Tablet is smooth, Will receive pouch by Monday and everything is awsome with this tablet. FB was beyond my expectation when I bought it.
However, Please let me know if there is any possible chance of enabling the Contacts/People application on my FB? Coz I can see that in my Apps Under settings but there is no ICON in my application list.
If there is no ICON, I will not be able to create, Edit, Delete contacts and I will not be able to use Tango/Viber/Whatsapp. There is no single contacts application from Play Store that is compatible.
Before you answer, I also want to let you know that I want to root the tablet with a new firmware for this small problem of mine because I am More than happy with the Firmware now.
Please respond. I've been breaking my head off from the past 2 days for this.
The charger that came with Funbook is charging to 100% within 1 and a half hour. I have a LG Cookie Charger which has same specifications that you gave but it is taking around 2-2 and a half hours.
Only problem is if I forget to switch off my FB charger after 2 hrs, It will become very hot.

Actually, I was thinking in terms of battery charging, not as a device that draws current to operate. Had it been a USB charger, than 0.7A rating wouldn't have caused problem since USB ports are rated at 500mA max.
But since this has a pin charger, the FB may draw more than 0.7A. In tha case, you are correct. Using the low rating adapter can be unsafe.

^^ FB charges battery while connected to USB. so, you don't really need a wall charger, just get one USB to micro USB converter cable and connect FB with computer when FB is off. it will charge.
expectedly, if you put 5V regulated DC specs of USB to a micro USB plug at the appropriate pins, it will charge FB from that micro USB too, when it's switched off. you will need to go through all the hassle to make arrangements tho.
tenida is using 1A charger, so actual current drawing capacity of FB could be much less than 1.5A, anyways it can't be told just like that without testing.

cant suggest one without checking. the stylus isn't crap, i bought a stylus too from ebay they don't work with FB but they work good with samsung, htc and apple.
its actually FB capacitive screen isn't that responsive, its good for fingers but not good enough for stylus. guess this is the best screen you can come up with ~6.5 k budget.
you may try those branded stylus from belkin or [the company that makes bamboo drawing tablets, forgot name] but they may not work even and you need to make sure you can return them before you buy, cause they are quite expensive.
