How to fix the Micromax A116 Canvas HD Flipboard issue
the Micromax A116 Canvas HD
is one of the most anticipated smartphones and the device is available
online only. There is a waiting period of up to 20 days for the Canvas
HD. Its hardware is impressive and the overall performance is good (read
our review). You can check out our in-depth review of the device here. But all isn’t perfect for the device.
Launcher Crash
Those that have got their hands on the
Canvas HD have started facing one common problem during the installation
of a magazine-style news-reading app called Flipboard.
Once installed, the launcher of the A116 Canvas HD crashes, rendering
the device useless. But there is a cure. Follow these simple steps to
get your device up and running once again.
Step 1: Shut down your smartphone. You can do this the traditional way via the power button or by simply removing the battery.
Step 2: Hold the power button and the volume rocker (both up and down) button until you see an option appear on screen.
Step 3: Tap the Volume up button to enter the device in recovery mode.
Step 4: When you see the Android icon, push the power button once.
Step 5: Use the Volume up/down button to choose the menu option. Choose the menu option by pressing the menu capacitive button.
Step 6: From the options, choose wipe data / factory reset and press the menu capacitive button to select. Navigate to the Yes “option” and press the menu button again.
Step 7: Press the reboot button and you are all set to use your smartphone once again.

Just don’t install Flipboard again on the device!
Launcher Crash
Since the error given on the A116 Canvas
HD said that the launcher had crashed, we thought we’d install a third
party launcher and then try to install Flipboard. We downloaded a third
party free launcher, Go Launcher EX, and then installed the app.
After launching the launcher, we tried
to install Flipboard. After the installation, the device randomly
rebooted. Then we started getting error messages like, “Unfortunately,
Calender has stopped”, “Unfortunately, Search has stopped”,
“Unfortunately, Gmail has stopped” and then finally, “Unfortunately,
Flipboard has stopped.” The app refused to run after that and we had to
factory reset the device for it to work properly.
Until Micromax releases a permanent fix
for Canvas HD’s instability issues, which cause Flipboard to crash, we
suggest you stay away from the app.
