Hello everyone, i have purchased Micromax A116 Canvas HD on 1st June and i have heard that Android 4.2.1 update is available for it. Here are some questions which i would like to be answered in detailed information.
1. Does the update enhance the color reproduction of Canvas HD? In Android 4.1.2, colors are washed out in Canvas HD and it can be noticed while playing a video.
2. What are the new features included in Android 4.2.1 update for Canvas HD? Do we have notification toggles after the update?
3. What about picture quality after the Android 4.2.1 update and what sizes the pictures are taken at full resolution?
4. Does the update fix bugs like GPS issue, signal reception?
5. What is Daydream mode?
6. How about the user experience after the update?
7. Whenever i switch on my Canvas HD with SIM card inserted, my phone says Unfortunately, something(don't remember what it is exactly but it is something related to network services). Anyone facing this issue?
8. Whenever the battery reaches 30%, it straightly goes to 15% after 2-3 minutes of playing a game or taking a picture. Is it solved in Android 4.2.1 update?
9. Can i install apps to SD card after the update? Big games gets installed in SD card along with data or not after the update?
10. Last but not the least, i have heard that there's Over-the-air functionality after the update, so does that mean we will be getting Android 4.3 and some features of Canvas 4?
I'm about to update my Canvas HD soon whether by myself or by the service center, so please answer my questions in a detailed way. Thanks a lot..

          Akshay007, 29 Jul 2013In morning i charge my battery every day with full charging... morei think u did not get me correctly, i didn't tell u to charge ur battery fully, u just charge it from 10 % to 90 % and then plug it off. see the result best of luck. but you should charge ur battery fully from 15% to 100% once in a month for ur battery longevity.

                            Let me tell you this is the worst phone I have ever used in my life..just count the demerits of this useless phone i am going to write here.
                            On the first few months it worked well and the user would be happy that it was worth buying
                            Then you start to face this problems for which you may even want to throw it away sometime
                            first and foremost
                            1. It is dead slow.Even just installing a few apps,it starts to hang. And the RAM and internal storage is so less that even if you uninstall those apps still its memory isnt sufficient to run the phone smoothly. Even when you want to call somebody you may have to even to wait for a minute for the contacts to be displayed which is totally frustating.
                            2. The camera quality is too bad. I have never taken a good snapshot with this phone. And I wonder why the company has given a flash button. My keyring gives better white light then it.
                            3. A layer on the top of the screen has become unresponsive for which i cant operate on that layer of screen.
                            4. The unlock key didnt work suddenly. I had to take it to the service center.
                            5. Not to speak of the service centre of Micromax is the worst of all existing brands in the market.They have neither the expertise nor the solutions. They just make you run for it for a month.
                            6. The speaker at the back initially was good but as it is from micromax it was doomed to give that worse noise.
                            7. The battery quality is also poor.
                            I dont think there is any feature of this phone that I can categorise as a merit.

                            These were the issues. People but these phones just when they see these brands give good features at a much affordable price but they dont realise the quality of the equipments used to manufacture this phone and finally turn up throwing the phone.

                            So mobile lovers dont go for these brands. Buy a decent brand may be with less features but durable ones.You will be satisfied.
