Not possible on the same boot - A work around is to re initiate whatsapp for each number and do it.

But only one number active per boot of the dual sim phone.

Thanks for that. Have located and saved the link to download at home and will let you know how it goes.

Even i faced the lag issue with the new Swype. And that too on GB. The earlier swype was a legendary product. But no complaints here. Swift key tap and type is fast and great. Now with flow it's even better.

That is an interesting question!

I want to buy Swift Key from the play store, but when I enter my card details it says Invalid Credit Card.
I checked it twice.
It is a Bank of India debit mastercard.
Works properly when I buy stuff on eBay.

Now what do I do?

Settings -> Language and Input -> Swiftkey Settings -> Swiftkey Flow - Enable

You could try this, not sure if it will work.
Instead of trying to buy directly from Play store, first go to Wallet.google.com
Register your card there.
Then log off/on onto Play store and the card will auto appear.

After your transaction you can go back to wallet.google.com and delete your card.

Whatsapp connection is tied to a particular mobile telephone number (MSISDN) not IMEI. So theoretically there can be 2 instances.

That said I am not sure if a Whatsapp supports this natively. May be answered more accurately by the developers.

You can use either Swype or Tap & Type style. I don't like the Swype style much and continue to use good ol fashioned tapping.

Not a developer, but I think Android system does not support two instances of the the same application.

Hi Guys,

I am planning to order the Micromax A116 Canvas HD from snapdeal.com
Features and specifications alongwith the pricing is too tempting !!

My query is with existing Micromax Users.

- What is the expected life of a Micromax product ?

For example, I have been using a Nokia C7-00 for about 2.5 yrs with 0 problems)

- How is the after sales service of Micromax?

I googled and came across many negative feedback on the customer service and support. There is a Micromax Checkpoint (same as Nokia Care), but that also has gained quite some negative feedback. Any Bangalorean can highlight their experience with MMX Service in Bangalore.

Take a look at Airdroid too.
Ive found it to be the simplest and most proficient, so far.
Look for it on the play store.

Certainly a "To Buy" product from micromax.
Handset should easily last 2 years with little careful use as its a full touch screen and most delicate thing is saving touch screen from scratch and breaking.
With hardware outperforming even for those 25k phones, Its certainly a beast which should be able to newer versions of Android easily.

Also there's lots of activity for micromax devices on XDA forums so mod and newer ROMs should not be a difficult task too.

Micromax has improved a lot in phone specs and performance, and I am sure they would have done the same with their service center quality too.

So if I didn't purchased Lava Iris 501 earlier this month I would have certainly gone for this one.

I believe Micromax Canvas 3 comes with Gorilla 2 glass protection which is scratch resistant and the glass will not break easily which can hold some pressure when it falls. I am also planning to buy this.

I am not sure. Coz there is no mention of having any sort of scratch resistant glass in specs.
Also, none of the reviews so far mentions this.
Better go with scratch guard & protective case. (If & when u get this)

BTW, the delivery time is showing 20 days now. My order placed on 16th Feb shows 15th March as expected delivery date, which is a month.
Talk about Unicorns n Classics waiting period.

NO, its not Gorilla glass, phone full specs has no mention of it.
One should not expect such feature on a phone which is already half the price of its competitors.
