What is Micromax trying to accomplish by not putting a simple Compass/Magnetometer hardware in the Canvas phones?
I mean seriously how much cost-saving are they doing by such a silly exclusion???
I have been using the Micromax Canvas HD A116 for the past 1 year and it is indeed a phone of worthy praises! The only problem I faced is the Compass otherwise the phone is awesome...
Other minor drawbacks are [1] low phone memory [2] no Kitkat update (atleast not yet )
Can someone please suggest a phone which has the following features
-> Dual-Sim Android
-> 2 GB RAM
-> Compass/Magnetometer
-> Sufficient Phone Storage
-> preferably below 25k
Thanks,
Gauss

I Have Abandoned Micromax when they did not include magnetometer EVEN in the "Android One" phone; when the other two other manufacturers of "Android One" had included them. This smacks of arrogance on their part.
And I find a magnetometer very useful for many of the apps that I use and a couple of my apps cannot function without a magnetometer (like antenna finder).

As we witnessed the launch of Canvas 4, i took a sigh of relief as the specifications are exactly that of our Canvas HD. Yes it does have a few add ons with it, but given that everything under the hood is same as that of our Canvas HD, can the gesture controls and all other perks added to Canvas 4 be ported to our phone as well? Yes i know the phone has just launched a few hours back, but in the coming months who knows what the developers can come up with!
We want it
Yes our kind mods will port those features to our phone soon :.. Hopefully :highfive:

CM does not support dual-SIM devices yet. So not easy to port it. Hopefully, a solution will be found soon.
Micromax is rolling out Android Jelly Bean 4.3 officially.
Canvas HD A116 is included in the first phase of this rollout.
Watch this thread for more details.

@MMXNewscaster
Sweet
More details would be nice indeed though, that statement could really mean anything from right now to within the next weeks haha...
Sadly, that's all that is known so far. Approximately, we can expect it in 2 - 3 days.
I'm curious whether they will have ironed out all the little bugs that are still present in 4.2.1 (such as the battery stats randomly dropping, ringtone for SIM2 randomly changing back to default) in this release.
Also the baseband will be interesting for me as i have the european version, i might have to stick with the 4.2 radio if not all bands are supported in the micromax 4.3 release.
Can't wait to get my hands on it to play around with
Title of the thread is mis-leading. Its not yet released but about to release in next few days or weeks.
Looks to be weeks rather...

The A250 is apparently an upcoming, yet to be announced phone, called the Canvas Turbo.
It will be the first MMX phone to have a Full HD (1080p) display.

I would recommend going for canvas 2. It's durable (friend's phone had fallen twice n the touch didn't shatter). Its got good development in terms of C'roms and kernel development, the only down side is it comes stock with ICS(though more battery friendly than JB in my opinion).
here's the link for the price on flipkart- http://www.flipkart.com/micromax-ca...3,,,c,,,,,,,&gclid=CM-QsPGqmLoCFbF34godriYA5Q

Keep in mind mediatek doesn't have many roms due to cyanogenmod. I wouldn't recommend it as I have a Canvas 2. It's a good phone, durable and has a active development forum considering mediatek chip but not for flashaholics.
If you would still like to buy one, go with Xolo Q800 or micromax canvas hd.
Xolo Q800 and micromax canvas hd have a smaller development community but are more powerful. Canvas 2 is less powerful but has a bigger development forum. (Xolo Q800 has a smaller community then Micromax canvas hd). The choice is yours' now.
Canvas HD and Xolo Q800 might get cyanogenmod 10.2 as fae2s is getting it which is also mtk6589 so go with either of these.
My preference would be Canvas HD

Canvas hd is seeing some development regarding kernel( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46372210#post46372210 )
Though mediatek will not release framework sources (maybe ever!) so original development such as CM or paranoid may not be available.
BTW if ur going for canvas HD most phones have been facing issues with faulty battery readings(the 30% to 10% drain) and flickering issues
make sure your phone doesnt have any of these issues before tweaking brother!

If you could wait it out you could go for xperia C bro, its got the same config as the canvas HD. The price should be around the same margin.
Last time I checked it was said to release in India mid october.
Have a xolo play with me but I would not recommend that even though the specs are brilliant i am facing too many problems with that.
SODs, flickering issues...
BTW the faulty battery reading does not affect actual battery life check out the SS, I get good on screen time even though i got the 30% to 10% drain, it doesnt bother me much.
Canvas HD is a good choice bro. Better go with micromax canvas HD it is a good phone

I am currently using cmahendra's KitKat based ROM (available in Dev Forum). I have tried almost all ROMs. And trust me, when it comes to battery this is the best ROM. I remain connected to 3G Data services 24 hours a day with average use. I have to charge once every day for around 2 hours. MIUI rom is also good if you have average usage but drains a bit faster on 3G data. Works just the same on Wifi usage..
