Bought this from amazon. The phone is a perfect budget android device but there in one big issue here.. Whenever i move an app to sd card, the app disappears after i reboot my phone! I really wish that this is a kitkat issue because if it is a defect in the device then i am doomed!

Even i am facing the same issue. I dnt knw what coukd be causing this. I guess these guys should release an update or a fix for this.

SD card issue
I have registered a complaint with lava mobiles by writing an email to the customer service department. I haven't got a response from them. Don't know what else to do.

Same Problem..
Me to have the same problem.... SD card apps just vanishes after reboot...

Has anyone found a rooting method for this device?

No Issues in moving Apps to SD Card
Hey Chaps,
Whoever, has this app vanishing issue, did you try installing ES File Explorer, I insist since the built in file manager is not all pervasive.
I have moved one app to the SD card, rebooted, still launching and working fine.

I tried to unmount the sd card before rebooting the phone. And then after rebooting it automatically mounted the card and miracally the apps apps appeared again! But after that when I tried it again then the apps were gone as usual. I suggest you try it with only one app so that you don't loose all the apps again like me.

I am happy with the SD card shipped free with the phone, luckily for me the phone and the SD card are doing fine. Also I am hearing a lot of complaints against Snapdeal nowadays !

Root Found..!!!
Hey guys,
I have finally found how to root Lava Iris X1. Just download the latest VRoot tool from this link http://www.mgyun.com/vroot
I tried it last night and it is working like a charm. :good:
It installs its own superuser app for app permissions. You can anyways install a different superuser app from play store.
Hit thanks if this has helped.

After rooting the sd card app transfer problem was solved.

Change the language into English

i always back mine up on the internal sd card andhave a rom in there just in case..others may do it differently, but there are many options recovery allows you to download from pc via usb... but its better to always have a back up on your internal card in my opinion.. because in some cases you can lose access to the external sd card..just my opinion..just remember to take your time and read/follow instructions VERY carefully!!!:laugh:
sd card
if you dont have room on internal sd card..then yes get an external sd card(you should always have one) and move some stuff over like media..etc

You might be misunderstanding on the sd card, you have an internal sd the phones drive, this is where I put my ROMs to flash. The external sd that you can put into the phone is or can be your backup, I use an external meaning I can remove it, this is where I put my backups of items.
I only use the built in drive internal sd for storage of my ROMs to flash. There are lots of video on this subject, just do a youtube search on the subject.
While we are at it, if you are on a computer check my links in my signature, I have a {General information and Helpful Tips} section for some good reading and the GNote Super page also for all your flashing needs. And you can PM me or just keeping posting lots of good folks around that will help.

Honestly, you need to use the search function. Read everything you can. If you have to ask if you're wrong, you're wrong about something. I know you don't like to hear this, and I also know you don't want to ruin your device. If you don't take the time to read and research, you won't understand the Rom that you flash anyways thus leading to more questions from you that can be solved by searching and you will only annoy the developers and ruin things for everyone because you developed bad habits of wanting things dropped in your lap. No one is here to hold your hand through the process when there's a wealth of information at your fingertips. All of the people that have accomplished flashing their phones have done so without a thread like this begging for a walkthrough. With all due respect, follow the rules because nobody is responsible for damage to your phone, but yourself.
Finally got the rom installed and working...just restoring my apps and data....but it's asking for permissions to install apps for each app...I'm using titanium backup app...thanks a lot u guys...(who ever helped)

I wasn't asking them to thank me. I was reminding them to thank those who helped them. You would know that if you read as per the forum rules. You know what else is part of the forum rules? Using the thanks button. Imagine that. Perhaps you should spend less time trolling me and spend more time watching the Official XDA Welcome video. Seems like you still need it. I'll link it for you so you don't have to search. Don't forget to use the thanks button!

for starters look in the development section and follow each and every instruction to the T.
1.4.3 is annoying to work with from what I hear. You should've just rooted it and installed a custom rom. You wouldn't be dealing with this in the first place...

1.4.3 is pretty easy to root. I had no problems with it at all.
Of course the only thing I did with it was root, install CWM Recovery, and put CM9 on it.

Quattro Shows Only 1.48GB Internal Storage instead of 8GB

I have recently bought one galaxy grand quattro from local shop.
Firstly i doubt about some specification and look of the phone.
1. There is no "DUOS" Symbol at the top of the Phone.
2. I have check Device Internal Storage , It shows 1.48GB.
3. I have checked Hardware Specification By Play Store Application named CPU/RAM/DEVICE IDENTIFIER.
Application says My device is Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro I8552.
CPU TYPE : QualComm Snapdragon S4 Play MSM8225Q * 4 1.2096Ghz
RAM : 1GB DDR (Usable 845 MB)
GPU TYPE : ADRENO 203
I have also Checked IMEI on website it shows its Original Samsung win i8552
Also Device can be register with Samsung and i have updated firmware via Wifi.
FIRMWARE : I8552ZTAMG3
Version : 4.1.2
Please help me why my device shows only 1.48 GB instead of 8 GB.
Is there any Device or any Unbranded Version available with these feature ?

May be it is showing used internal memory. And the usable internal memory we used to get 5gb in quattro. Can u please provide a snap in which its stating about 1.48gb of internal memory? If it is really what u r syaing then please go to service centre. And from which region did u buy that phone? The firmware version does not look updated one.

I cannot go to service center because phone is not indian version.
I have searched a lot and finally i found on google that Samsung Has 4GB ROM Version of this phone launched in China.
So finally 1.48GB user available.
Also My Phone baseband itself says its From Taiwan.
I have matched the phone specification on Samsung China official website and they matched with my phone.
I will post the photos soon.
still if you have idea how to expand internal storage please guide me.

There are several copies of Samsung devices found in the market...my uncle bought a copy of S4 for just 11k...it has all the features of s4 including air gestures...but Android Version is 4.2.9 which proves that the version is not genuine...do check it properly if you paid the same price for the device

This is quite and old thread, and probably you have already found a solution, but I'm in the same situation, and my solution might help you:
1) I installed External 2 Internal app from Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.codlab.int2ext which swaps internal and external memory, so /sdcard point to the external sd card, as in other phones.
2) I installed Link2SD https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.buak.Link2SD and created a second partition (in ext3 format) on the sdcard, and proceeded to link all apps to this second partition using Link2SD.
This way, I've been able to install several big games (such as Fifa 14 and Real Racing 3), along with around 100 apps, and still keep almost 1 Gb free space.
To use those apps, the phone must be rooted. You have to work a bit, but the results are very nice.

Not quite, since external to internal swaps internal and external memory, so you don't have to link folders game by game. And using Link2SD, as it has an option to automatically link folders, you don't have to worry again, either.

Yes but those r complex for maximum users. I can bet maximum dont know how to create partition.. while gl2sd is far easy and usually we need to move game datas only as there r plenty of space in internal sd card for installing applicatioms..

All those apps require a rooted device, which eliminates most of the average users. Once you know how to root your device and do it properly, using Internal2External or Link2SD is not so hard.

Kingo doesn't work on all versions and firmwares (the same happened to framaroot) and cwm is not for all users. Do you really picture unexperienced users using Odin and downloading firmwares from sammobile or other sites? Come on...

I don't clean flash daily, I clran flash once a 3 days or if lots of commits in next ROM, I Use Titanium Backup PRO for backup and 1 click Restore Of Apps and Data(need Pro version otherwise u hv to restore every backup manually), and Link2SD for Save Space and get rid of the hassle of moving all Apps to SD Card every time,

Link2SD has that feature but you need to buy PLUS no cracked or modded version work[emoji12] so I use foldermout for mounting game data folder and link2sd for linking apk and libs
