Mutiple "how to" ?

Hi,

Apologies in advance as I am new to this forum and to Android too !

I have a Karbonn A50 Gingerbread which I bought just recently. The phone has 100MB approx inbuilt space to use with a 256MB RAM. Following are my question:

1.) Model Number - Karbon A50
2.) Firmware Version - 1.1.0
3.) Baseband Version - DM_BASE_12A_W12.43|sc6820_modem|11-02-2012 17:53:08
4.) Kernel Version - 2.6.35.7
5.) Build Number - Not Available

Carrier - Vodafone India
Country - India
Phone was never locked ( in India we seldom get locked phones - apart from iPhones bought from abroad )

1) How to uninstall/remove the inbuilt apps or apps which come with the phone ?

2) My phone today showed a message which I could not read very carefully but said "android.(something) has stopped working" & then my data connection got lost. What could have happened how to avoid it the next time.

3) My phone is a dual sim phone and i use both the sim slots by 2 sim card but from the same service provider. When I set the setting of the phone (wireless & networks --> mobile connections --> sim 2 --> data enabled --> yes) & if I restart the phone , the setting seem to have been changed automatically. I settings after restart are (wireless & networks --> mobile connections --> sim 1 --> data enabled --> yes)
What could be the problem ? Is it something I am doing for a problem with the phone ?

Please help. I am a newbie and do not posses the knowledge to troubleshoot. Please share your knowledge.
 
1) you'd need to root the phone and get something like titanium to uninstall them. there are ways to use ADB to do it, but i'm not going to recommend that to you.

2) sounds like just a random crash, though it's probably a bad sign that it was a core android process that did it. a reboot should fix it, but i couldn't tell you how to avoid it, since you don't really know what caused it in the first place. if ti keeps happening, it's a bug in the OS, and you're going to have to live with it or replace the phone. you could install custom software. but if you don't have a popular model that's going to be difficult at best, if not completely impossible.

3) i believe (someone correct me if i'm wrong) that by default after a reboot, the phone is going to take the sim card in slot 1 before the sim card in slot 2. if you want to use sim card 2, swap them in the physical slots and then sim card 2 is in slot 1 and is the one being used.
 
Can i hijack this a second.. why do people use dual-sim phones? Ive always wondered. And it usually seems to be in Asia. Thanks :beer:
 
dual-sim is useful for multi-numbers on one phone. i've often wanted to have that functionality on my phone so i can give out one number for work people and one number for home people so i can drop the "work phone" altogether.

i'm sure there are other reasons, but afaik, that's the biggest one.
 
AS Ssith said, to have work and personal numbers on the same phone. I'll get round to that at some point, but as I've just bought a Huawei Y300 (great little phone if you're not using it for demanding games), the dual-sim phone will have to wait (xmas pressie with any luck).
 
I don't believe you can uninstall default apps but you can disable them. Go to settings, then apps, and select All, pick the app in question and tap disable! Be careful you don't disable anything important or that other apps might rely on, of course.

Click to expand...

And if you by a mistake disable something important, you can always enable it again ... scroll to the bottom of the page where the disabled apps are shown and tap - (surprise!) "enable" :)
