IMO, Canvas HD or likes of Lava Q800 like phones, though cheaper, offers better hardware for the price.
I am really surprised by the quality & performance of canvas HD.

Though it may not have Gorrila glass, a good quality screen protector for 300-400 bucks would take care of that part, as there were few posts earlier in this thread questioning the ability of gorilla glass display.
It is not crack proof.It is only sctratch resistant, which negates use of extra layer of screen protector. So your friend can very well have look at new , budget quad core options available in the market now.

(BTW, Canvas HD now retailing at 17k in the market due to its demand, So i think Nexus 4 becomes a more suitable choice if he is not worried about warranty part)

Androidians,
A quick request. This is for a friend - suggest the cheapest android mobile that qualifies on the below requirement

1. Gorilla glass
2. Android 4.0+
3. Email Push / Pull facility
4. Good Maintenance service centres
5. Screen size 4.5”+


And no, Nexus 4 is not part of the solution list :D I already suggested that to him.

Making a backup is always advisable. I'd recommend Titanium Backup PRO for this. Use SMS Backup and Call Log Backup (both apps by Ritesh Sahu on Play Store). Your contacts and calendar are already backed up in your Google a/c.

well when you are buying a touchscreen phone, the screen is the one that is most integral to the whole smartphone experience. I wouldnt buy a touchscreen that doesnot come with anti-scratch glass. screen protectors themselves scratch and it looks hideous in no time. I have HTC Sensation for 2 years now and the screen is just pristine! No scratch whatsoever. And there is no protector I've ever used!

I bought a cheap chinese tablet (Ainol) once and it had million scratches on the screen in no time. It really was very bad experience. And one fall and the screen was gone. I wouldnt touch any cheap stuff now.

well ninja personally I do not have good opinion of cheaper androids. Android as an OS is pretty resource intensive and the experience is not the same if hardware is inferior. Its always better to invest a little bit more and get a decent device. I think below 25k Windows phone provides better overall experience. Above that Android is the king.

One of my friends got it for very cheap almost at the US price plus 1400 shipping and customs. Will ask him in detail and report back how he managed that.

So I shut down the phone, power it on and then follow these steps?

1. Boot into bootmenu by pressing volume down when device flashes a blue led at bootup. Set default boot mode to 2nd init.
2. Select Recovery/Stable Recovery. Choose "Wipe Data/Cache" option. Let finish.
3. Choose Install zip from SD Card, select WajkIUI_multilang .zip and let it finish.
4. select "Wipe Cache" then go to Advanced and select "Wipe Dalvik Cache". Reboot Now!

I'd say, the Micromax Canvas HD or the Galaxy Grand would be good although I am not sure if they have Gorilla Glass.

Gionee Dream D1. It fits the bill to the core. The good thing is, they have already opened many service stations and the numbers are already up on their website. Seems Gionee is very serious about Indian market and according to few blogs, its an OEM partner of MMX.

If the "cheapest" part is not such a big criteria then I guess the Galaxy S3 could be a contender. I heard it could be bought for about 27-28k which makes it a total VFM and a better buy then the likes of canvas or mmx offerings.

Guys,

Just an update. Finally the JB for Galaxy S2 has arrived in India via Kies. The update was available from around 10 AM this morning.

Anyone updated already? Pls share your feedback. Have heard some rumors that the delay was account of battery drain issue.

Will be very interesting to know how the battery behaves after the update.

Cheers

Guys,

I had rooted my Moto Defy+ as instructed here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1889325

Was happy to uninstall some of the useless default apps and was looking forward to ditch the stock ROM for a custom ROM.

But the happiness was short lived. I used to access my Company e-mail through Good For Enterprise. Now after the rooting it won't work because my company doesn't allow 'Good' to be used in rooted phones :(

Has anyone experienced this? Is there any work around to have a rooted phone and still be able to use \'Good\'?

Thanks.
