I brought few days back.. But my speaker is not good.. Its not sound gud.. Its cracking even at a slower volume.. And not sound as loud than other phones.. Can i sort out this problem??
I hav brought unite2 aand i hav wifi disconnectio problem what should i do now.
It worked fine on our review unit. It could be due to several reasons. Its better to get it checked or replaced
what type of memory card does it support??? i mean which class????
1) Wifi connectivity is bad! Its constantly fails to connect and stay connected. It requires the phone to restart to get it started. Gmail notifications just does not work on wifi but does show when on mobile network.
2) T9 Option just doesnt seem to work
3) In my opinion camera front and back is not great. There is not much to do about it since I have already bought the phone.
4) Im very disappointed to know 3G works only on one SIM and that slot for one is mini. Were these specifications mentioned? Or did I miss something?
I bought my phone from flipkart. Im going out of the country soon. Any quick fix suggestions along with a quick response on the above will be highly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Deepak,
I have this phone. The internal memory for Apps is very low. Checking the reviews i was under assumptions, the Apps can be directly installed into SD card. But when i checked, we can only move major part of an app to the SD card after installing it to the Internal memory. Now my internal memory (Apps) has only 100 MB free space and when i try to install any apps that are greater than 20 – 30 MB, it throws error. I have to uninstall other apps to install a new one. So is there any way it install apps directly to the SD card and not to the Internal memory.
Thanks in advance,

three soft buttons of unite 2 that are first one is menu ,second one home and last one is back
most generally when we hold down the home button it shows recent apps
but in unite 2 when i hold down menu button it shows recent apps..what should i do to do so on home button
yes, that’s how it is for most phones. Some phones don’t give you storage partition, but they also don’t allow for apps to be installed on SD card.
That’s not a problem. I think you will get used to it after some time. Download Nova launcher and go to nova settings>>gestures and Buttons>>home button>> and select recent apps from the list.
