NO need to ROOT the phone for inbuilt apps

Everything else has been said about the phone, but I see there is a big misconception going around that you need to root this phone to get the inbuilt apps (like nimbuzz,google account,google play etc. ) to work. This is TOTALLY INCORRECT, you don't need to root the device. I am using this phone with full internet access in all apps.nnHere Is the Solution : n1) Go to Settings => Wireless & Networks => Mobile Network Settings => Access Point Names.n2) If there are no options visible there then it means you don't have internet settings for your network provider.(But if you can browse the internet from Inbuilt Browser then probably they will be there). Contact you network provider for internet settings.n3) Now most probably you will see 2-3 settings there and if the inbuilt apps (not the browser) are not able to use internet then you must have selected the wrong Access Pont Name.n4) Check each one of them and select the one which has no proxy or MMS proxy. Each one of the access point is for specific purpose and mostly by default the MMS proxy one or the INTERNET Live one is selected. AGAIN select the one which has APN type internet or wap. You can do a google search for your service provider's APN NAMEnFor Example : Vodafone it is => www ; Tata Docomo it is => tata.docomo.internet.nSo select the one which has this APN.n5) Now the inbuilt apps have internet....nnMostly this will suffice......If not then na) Restart your phone.nb) Create a new APN with the information you get on internet (again the one for internet not MMS or INTERNET Live).nnnHave Fun... In case of doubt post a comment (review) and I will update the review AccordinglynnJust one thing about the phone I want to mention : the earpiece volume is low, you cannot talk in a crowded place.nnEDIT : ABHIJIT BARMAN could you please upload step by step rooting method.. Thank You

Sure...You can buy it.

Oh!Great.That was my response when I got iball Andi3.5i.Sure,you can buy it,if you are looking for touchscreen phone for 4000-6000rupees range.nnProns:nn1) TouchScreen:Smooth and responsive.n2) 1 GHZ processor makes it powerful.n3) Style and the design of the phone.n4) 3G phone at a Rs.4000rangen5) Less Weight.n6)Less SAR value-Usaully most of the people doesnt look the SAR value..People always look at the quality of the camera,speaker quality and other features,but not the SAR value.Lesser the SAR value,lesser will be the radiation.n7)Battery Backup is goodn8)Advantage of being a android phonen9)Dual Sim phonen10)Fast internet browsing,bluetooth and wifi.n11) Good sound quality.n12)Changable back cover.n nCons:n1)Camera is not good.Below average quality.n2)Speaker at the head side volume is low,during calls(not for all calls but comparatively,depends upon the network and other user)n3)No software update.n4)Android Software problem(Inbuilt apps like nimbuzz,google account,google play,facebook,whatsup have no internet connection beacause it is blocked by a file in the android.Only solution is to root the phone(which voids the warranty of the phone and making neccessary changes.(Google for more details)..........But can use inbuilt web browser for surfing,facebook,gmail etc.The problem is for only inbuilt apps.nnOverall-The cons are neglegible when we compare it to prons.This is a good choice for those who are looking for touchscreen 3G dualsim phone below 5000 rupees.nn100%100%

Good Value for Money

I bought this phone after a long research after all by now iball is a trustworthy brand. The phones performance exceeds my expectation. I downloaded folder lock & auto call recording from google store and the pack is now perfect. Excellent touch, very user friendly, good display & a good camera..list goes on. Both the sims are working perfectly with equally good clarity. Browsing is reasonably fast and as the phone has auto rotate facility, messaging and other functions are too easy to operate. being an android plenty of applications as per ones requirement can be downloaded. At this price..no need for second thoughts.....

Rooted iball andi 3.5i

What u pay what u get. But u can have more by rooting this low cost mobile. touch is good, viewing angle is bad, Rooting the mobile u can have 80+ application loaded. Rooting this set is a bit tricky. U can't root it by one click method. I have rooted it by Sp flash tool and mtk droid root tool. Now i m enjoying this mobile very much. if it would have secondary cam? If u load more app u can't play major games like temple run, subway surfer etc due to its low ram memory. Other specs r good for its price except internal memory 107 mb free and Ram 100 mb free . Its 3.5 inches screen is huge comparing my other mobile 3inches Sony Xperia mini. It is good looking and slim also. U can't load apex launcher. I have installed holo launcher for its low memory use in system. 3.2 mp Cam is not bad in good lighting condition. Don't expect much. After using Jellybean4.1 in my rooted xperia mini with custom rom developed at xda forum it is hard to adjust in android Gingerbread 2.3.6. But it is not so bad also. My advice if u do root this mobile it would be an useful dual sim for ur everyday rough use.
