Common Problems with Micromax Canvas and their fixes

Frequent rebooting

One of the Common Problems on Micromax Canvas is frequent and random rebooting. This problem is also quite annoying. The problem is caused by the change of mobile networks from GPRS to HSPA. Another reason could be the battery problem. So check to see if the battery is OK on your Micromax Canvas. If it's swollen, then get it replaced to solve this problem. If not, a network change might be causing your Micromax Canvas problem. Follow the following steps to resolve this issue:

• Go to Settings and then Dual SIM Settings on your phone.
• Here, select SIM 1 and then go into Mobile Network Settings.
• After that, tap on Network Mode and select GSM only. The default settings must be on the GSM/WCDMA option and you must change it to GSM-only mode.
• After doing this, your problem should be solved, and you shouldn't face this issue again. If you still face issues, please bring your phone to the nearest Micromax service center.

Lost Network

Your Micromax Canvas can encounter problems with random call droppings and network presence. Even though it is one of the common problems on Micromax Canvas, it is not limited to just Micromax. Several reasons can cause this problem. Let's see how this problem can be fixed and the steps you need to follow.

• First, turn off the phone and remove the SIM card. Reinsert the SIM card properly to ensure that the issue is not caused by faulty SIM card placement.
• Try to use the same SIM card on another phone to see if the problem is with the phone or the SIM. If the SIM doesn't work on another phone, replace it.
• Go to Mobile Networks and then try selecting the network manually. This will help you reconnect to your network.
• You can also try to toggle airplane mode on and off to reconnect to the network. When you turn off airplane mode, the phone will automatically reconnect to the network.

Battery Draining Too Quickly

Another very common problem on Micromax Canvas is the rapid battery drain. Many users have reported that their phone battery has been behaving strangely, and they have seen very high battery drainage, which has caused the battery to die very quickly. If you are also experiencing this issue, then we are suggesting some ways that could help you increase your battery life.

Screen Brightness: Most of your phone's battery is consumed by the screen. So if you keep the brightness level high, then it is obvious that the battery would be consumed more. A good way to reduce usage is to keep the battery brightness at a level that is just comfortable for the eyes to view and is not too bright.

Clear RAM: Another thing that uses up a lot of battery life is the background apps that run on your mobile phone. If you do not close an app, the app will keep running in the background, thus using your device's battery. The best way to reduce battery usage is to clear the RAM frequently, which will close all the apps running in the background.

Unwanted Service: If you have GPS, WiFi, and Bluetooth on all the time, even when you don't need them, then the battery life of your phone is sure to die very soon. This is because these services use a lot of battery, and keeping them on without need is consuming the battery unnecessarily. So keep them off when you do not need these services.

If the methods listed above did not resolve the issue, you can perform a factory reset on your phone. The method for this is explained below.

Overheating

The phone uses a high-powered processor, so it is supposed to take up a lot of battery and thus would also generate a lot of heat. It is normal for a phone to heat up after using it for long periods. But if the phone overheats after just 5-10 minutes of use, then it is something you should be concerned about.

In many cases, a simple restart of the device can fix this issue. So try that first.

If not, then there is a possibility that some third-party application is causing the overheating. If the problem occurs after installing a new app, then you know where the problem lies. Uninstall that application and check if the problem persists. It might also be a good idea to give the phone a factory reset. So do that and check to see if that solves the issue.

Charging Problem

Another annoying problem on Micromax Canvas is when the phone fails to charge, even when the charger is plugged in. Now, to fix this issue, follow the steps below:

• Remove the battery from the phone and then put it back in again.
• Plug the cable from the charger into the phone.
• After doing this, press the power button for at least 8-10 seconds, and you will see a battery icon. You will not see it charging, just the battery icon on the display.
• If you see this, don't let go of the power button. Keep it pressed for at least 3-4 minutes. The battery icon on the screen will flicker and the boot screen will come up.
• Once you see the boot screen, your problem is solved, and you will be able to charge your Canvas normally again.

If the solutions above could not solve your problems, something more serious might be happening. In this case, take your Micromax canvas to the nearest Micromax Canvas Service center to get it repaired or replaced.

Note: Keep your phone updated with the latest available software. This is because many times, the company itself launches some fixes for common problems with its updates. So keeping your phone updated will ensure that you do not miss out on any of the bug fixes launched by the company.

The back panel attracts fingerprints and smudges.

Those using a Micromax Canvas Knight will probably face this issue due to design-related issues. This handset has received a re-design which is the combination of the iPhone and Sony Xperia, but the device's back panel still attracts a huge amount of smudges and fingerprints.

This issue is mainly due to the matte finish. The best way to resolve this issue is to get a phone cover or matted cover for the back panel of your Micromax Canvas Knight. Also, if you are concerned about the newly owned phone, a flip cover would be best as it can protect the handset from all kinds of harm, such as drops, dirt, etc. Flip covers are available in leather and plastic, so you can choose the one that suits your needs.

Apps crashing

Some users have complained of apps crashing while in use. For example, some games get stuck or stop suddenly while other apps lag.

This is all because of the very advanced True Octa-Core SoC, where most Android apps are still not optimized for this processor. The earlier developer designed the apps with the dual-core Socs in mind, whereas now, most of the latest smartphones coming to the market are equipped with either Quad-core or Octa-core CPUs.

This is an issue with this Micromax canvas handset as well. So, this issue is quite normal, and all you can do is wait until Micromax comes out with its latest update for the firmware. Also, keep updating the apps regularly as soon as any updates are released on the app store.

Bloatware

Like any other handset, Micromax Canvas Knight has a custom UI, and it includes several bloatware apps that are of no use but occupy a huge space in the device. Keep reading if you want to get rid of unused and unnecessary bloatware.

CyanogenMod is a custom ROM that can help you in such a situation. Just install Custom ROM and access all the latest Android features. You can uninstall the app you do not need, choose the overall interface of the set, and more. But those not fond of this CyanogenMod can look for Nova Launcher to enjoy the same features.

Remember to have a backup of the device beforehand. Another good thing about using CyanogenMod is that it does not require you to root your device. This will work fine for you, but if you are unhappy, you can always return to the default settings by performing a factory reset.

Factory Reset Method

Aside from the solutions mentioned above, you can try doing a factory reset on your phone as it works for most minor issues. This will take your phone back to the state where you first purchased it and will delete all the data from the phone. So make sure that you create a backup of your important files. After creating a backup, follow the steps below to do a factory reset.

• Power Off your Phone
• Put the phone in recovery mode by simultaneously pressing the Volume Up, Volume Down, and power buttons.
• Now go to the Factory reset option and confirm the selection when asked.
• After this, reboot the phone and your phone will go back to the state when you first purchased it.
