  • the service dealer at Chandigarh is hopeless.Gave A9 mobile for repairing of On-Off button on 27.5.2014, but kept on delaying till 13.6.2014 & finally said the set is nu-reparable (visited for more than 10 days). Finally got it repaired outside with local repair shop in 5 minutes at the cost of Rs. 200/-. very poor service. Sanjiv Gupta, 9888422444

  • My mobile problem is power off to the ofter 3months. at this time repairing on to tirupati , aditya service center ,andhra pradesh .

  • I bought Karbonn A99 on 12th May & on 13th May only its display started to blur & then after few minutes a stripe line appeared on scree. when i went o the Service Centre they refered me a DOA Request i.e Replacment of handset. but still i have'nt got the replaced A99 still. Service Centre is saying me that IMEI is still not registered that's why its taking time. Worse Phone & Worse Service Centre. I infact mailed to their Service Support official mail ID & called several times to the Toll free no but of no Use. Plz suggest what to do now?

  • worst ever phone in my life. very slow. Service center has no solution for this phone. Don't take it even if you are getting it free. utility wise even toy phone is better than this phone. i will never buy any karbonn product.

  • Karbonn mobiles are the most inefficient cellphones you can ever buy. Please never buy. It gives lot of problems and their customer care will never support. Toll free number is always busy and emails will be equally disappointing. Never ever buy Karbonn mobiles.

  • hai,,,,,,this is awesome,.,,,

  • After selecting a number from the phonebook and when I press the dial button my Karbonn A9 mobile phone screen goes blank. Though the number is dialing and everything is audible when the recipient answers but I see nothing on my screen. This also happens when I hear an incoming call on my mobile but cannot receive the same as the screen is blank.How can this be sorted?

  • Dear Friends, Karbonn is very poor in servicing. I was deposited karbonn a9+ in service centre due to on off switch problem and they gave me 68 days. I revived karbonn a9* after 68 days. I m not satisfied with a9* ,, its having lower processor , lower screen, bad sound quality, no flash, camera images is too poor. Karbonn don't cares about customer isssues and time. service centre response also not good. You can not get karbonn toll free number due to engage 24 hours. They only cheat to customers. Don't buy any product of Karbonn. Regards, Naveen [email protected]

  • Do not buy this phone because very poor screen quality, battery backup poor, if u have purchase this mobile ur screen touch damaged within 4 days.

  • what kind of problem in battery

  • For ppl facing screen black during calls issue, the temporary but instant solution is go to settings>accessibility>and select the option 'power button ends call'. Orelse open phone dialer and dial *#36#,automatically u will reach a list of hardware test list, choose the proximitysensortest and in it u will find only one option (in Chinese), click that and it will start a test to check, move ur hand around the sensor (beside front cam), if the sensor is working it displays a hand orelse it cross marks it(it also tries to self rectify it if possible) , be sure u r in a well lit up place. If the above mentioned remedies doesn't work try downloading app from play store that completely disables that particular sensor

  • A9+ is better than A9 in terms of screen type, RAM, addition core, chip-set & latest OS. But also consider battery is of less capacity than A9, so less back up.

  • Screen blackening issue can be resolved by visiting authorized service station. By making small settings it can fix up... It takes hardly 1 minute. :-)

  • IS Karbonn A9 Beter than Karbonn A9+

  • Is Karbonn A9 beter than Karbonn A9+

  • i think spice stellar mi425 best

  • I know my friends using samsung duos last 1.5 years without any problem. I am using Karbonn A9 last 6 months without any problem. Now when I compare Samsung Duos with Karbonn A9 then I would say Karbonn A9 is better in terms of user experience because in Samsung Duos you won't be able to install many apps because of lesser internal memory. You won't be able to play Temple Run in Samsung Duos. Screen size is much lesser than Karbonn A9 so internet browsing experience is better in Karbonn A9. I am listing down my observation honestly after using Karbonn A9 last 6 months. 1. As of now I haven't face a single problem either from hardware or from software. 2. Performance is excellent. 3. This phone got dropped accidentally from my hand 4 times. Build of this phone is good. 4. Quality of camera or video camera is (I would say) above average but not excellent. 5. Audio sound is a bit low. 7. I have installed a total of 75 apps including game like Temple Run 2. Phone runs without any issue. 8. Battery backup is moderate. You would get 1.5 - 2 days of backup if you turn on 3G whenever you needed. Infact most of the renowned Android phone gives this much backup only.

  • Overcome hang on Karbonn A9+ and other Karbonn series too.. Dear all, Install all the apps in sd or pre-set it to memory card. Then the mobile will not hang. If u have any other detail information just mail me at [email protected].

  • karbonn a9 is betr or samsung galaxy s duos??

  • dear sir i used karbonn A9. this is very good phone..when I attend a call the screen light get dark , each and every time i have to off and not on by power button.I remove its battery every time and on from power button.The same thing when i dial a call also . Please help me ....

  • I want to buy Karbonn A9, but I am confused. Which is the best for me? A9 of A15? please tell me.

  • A marvellous phone in such a low price. Really amazing, I purchased Samsung galaxy ace s5830 and faced several problems. It is obviously better in every aspect. Karbonn a9 vs Samsung s5830. Processor= 1Ghz × 800 Memory= 581× 150mb RAM= 590 × 181 Display= 3.8 × 3.5 inch O my friends change it to a9 and enjoy it, don't run after big names. You will always have better features in low price than the big-name companies.

  • Only way is to download .apk file of adobe flash player, just google search for flash player apk and after downloading install it manually, thats it, u will also get an update in play store as soon as you install it (after reboot).

  • where to get pc suite for karbonn a9?

  • u can download from www.nextport.com

  • You cannot download adobe flash player till it is released again on playstore it was released but now it is not there anymore you have to wait if it comes again but yes flash player works i have downloaded it and that works fine even hd games works which does not work on samsung ace and duos as well

  • can some tell me hw to download adobe flash player

  • i have been using this phone for the past 9 months.For the first 3 months it was splendid. One the most frustrating thing of karbonn phones are lack of signal strength. If u put it in ur pocket , u will certainly loose signal in any one of the dual sim.And in the later days , u will loose signal in one sim permanently. The battery back up will be awesome for first 3 months ,then on if u use 3g ,battery will drain like hell.Rest of the features are gud. But if u had bought any karbonn mobiles .U will come across the above 2 issues after 3-4 months,and certainly u might need to change the mobile.

  • Best is a small word for its value

  • I am using my karbonn A9 last 5 days below are the positive points 1. Feature wise it can compete with samsung phone which costs around 18-20k. 2. All functions are working perfectly fine. 3. Touch is very good. There is no difference between Samsung tab touch and karbon a9 touch on screen experience. 4. RAM is 512MB and Internal memory is more than 512MB 5. Very fast. 6. Dual SIM. SIM1 3G. I use cheaper dataplan and in SIM2 I use vodafone network for incoming and outgoing call because they have costlier 3G plan. Android phone without 3G is basically useless. I change my SIM1 monthly to get better offer as new customer. Now one of my colleague having Samsung Tab (single sim) is saying his dataplan in vodafone is too costly but he can not change this connection. 7. Headset sound quality is too good. 8. Camera is very good. After all it has flash which really helps. 9. I have installed more than 20 apps including racing game and IPL cricket still it is very fast. 10. GPS works perfectly fine. 11. Overall experience is Good. I am happy. I found the following drawbacks 1. FM radio is not as good as Nokia/Samsung basic set provides. "Signal catching power" is comparatively lesser. FM crashed once. 2. Proximity sensor was not working but it has ready solution. Dial *#36#. A popup gets opened. Select Proximity Sensor test(ignore Chinese language). New page gets opened with a button in Chinese. Click on it. Your problem is gone. Question??? Lets examine the durability of this mobile. I don't think materials used in this phone is cheaper. Hope this phone will last long. Look is very sexy. I liked white phone with black border.
