FOR TECHNICAL DETAILS CHECK – A8 Technical Information POST
FOR VIDEO : Check – Video Review Qmobile Noir A8 POST
I think first question everyone wants to know is the price Rs: 14,500/-
Reviewing Phone: UPDATES 9th , Oct , 2012 .
Very slim and better than I expected, many people asked me about internal storage first thing well, it shows 1 GB internal storage can be used for apps, overall it has 1.96 GB which means 2 GB on the back end, OS is 4.0.4 , Yet I am reviewing myself hopefully with in a day or two upload the video for you and will give a demo.
This Phone launched on 5th Oct, 2012 but officially will be launched on 10th Oct, 2012 yet I haven’t reviewed it personally so I won’t be able to comment more about it, I am expecting Internal storage as I have mentioned 4 GB hoping that it depends on SD Micro card, where as personally the user of 16 GB in Noir A5 I had to format the card twice till now, I will not suggests users to insert 16GB card because there is some issue which wipe off the data and tells you to format the card. 8 GB would be the right choice, well GPS Yes unlike A2 but more likely as A5. 4.3 Screen Size is huge so Battery timing must be less until and unless battery itself is not bigger and better.
I had the information of A8 from Qmobile person from the market whom i will surely contact check the phone and than i will be adding up information and will be able to inform you all about it more easily, for now it came 4 months late and behind it other models are awaiting to launch too, like A10 and others, now this is where Qmobile or any brand plays a little tricky for users, Indeed it is 4.0 Ice Cream fully able to support Skype calling and Html5 , flash, from the basic specification it won’t be wrong, Qmobile is competing with S II galaxy and Nexus. ( Benchmark tested ) See Technical Infomation -TEST –
Kindly when you write a comment , mention your city as well so i can understand where exactly query is from and many users asked me about internet issues,in which i was not able to understand where they are facing this issue, if you are Wifi user kindly mention your network ISP too ( Speed etc ) , I am sure this phone will wipe my objections with Qmobile. I am repeating again I am not a Qmobile representative so my information is based on my personal usage and understanding.
Any of you has used or reviewed the phone share you experience with all via comments, if you want me to post it on the blog comment and write Post , if it would be appropriate for the users I’ll post it with in no time. Share your experience and knowledge as well. I think I been doing all possible for me to answer each and every single comment query email , tweets, and on the Facebook page ( Sharing is Caring ) join my page and it would be easier to interact and share.

512 MB
yo fareee i gotta ask does a8 has access to play store …cuz i was gonna buy a10 for my dad just gotta know so it wont be an issue later
It does
is this would be last price??? ya phir koi gunjaish hai??
Dear I am not selling Mobiles here ! I think you better contact in the Market and find out yourself.
Thanks,
lol
lol ? why
4gb is in micro sd…
Yet I am not sure about the internal memory unless i will have the physical review of the phone,
please can any.one confirm me that how much ram ( memory) this set has?
and what is the usable internal storage and does it has gpu and can it run hd games?
please it would be really helpful……
512 RAM at this moment I am reviewing myself, internal memory is 1 GB usable. where as phone is showing 1.9 GB which makes 2. but at this moment confirm 1 GB internal storage.
It is able to handle os 4.0
It has 4.0.4 OS and It is upgradable .
Hi Farees. What does this means ” It is upgradable”. I am using A8 and there is no option of system upgrade in settings. can you plz tell me what they exactly want to say?
Yet I cannot confirm you but surely this phone is upgradable it has vast range of options after rooting wait for my next post I’ll mention
Hello Brother, Thanks for your reply. and thanks for uploading the details of Noir A8 here and specially it’s price.
Please upload a video review of it soon and let us know the link of that.
also please tell me that does this cell have a GPU?
i am so excited to buy it asap.
thanks.
Sure I will, tomorrow yet I am reviewing it myself and so far it’s a great phone way better than previous Qmobile series , upcoming one is A10 which is gonna be some what like S3 …
Thanks alot for your reply.
and it seems really excited. but please brother, when you review the handset also mention about it’s GPU, Camera Image quality ( better than A5 or same) and about Battery timing. ( the battery timing is really much low in A5 and as A8 has more bigger screen. are there any battery improvements)
Awaiting for a video review soon and to watch A8 in action.
Also thanks for sharing about A10. do you know the expected date of it’s launch or any features of this handset.
Thanks and stay blessed.
Dear Sumair,
1. Camera I haven’t tested yet but normally it looks better than A5.
2. Battery Timing … well it’s amazing I been using it constantly for 6 hrs on Wifi way better than A5 or any other
3. GPU ? I didn’t get explain me a bit surely in a video review ill add
that’s not just A10 which is more like S3 but A6 is on its way too.
Salam Farees,
Thanks for your reply.
I am so happy about the battery that is so awesome. ( now i will soon buy it as soon it come to my city Sialkot)
in S3 it is 2100 mAh so for a handset within this price range it is really good.
For A5 it’s camera quality is really bad in low light condtions, compared to my Asha 300 which has a 5mp camera without flash but it’s pictures quality is really much better.
Well, a GPU is:
The GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) is a specialized circuit designed to accelerate the image output in a frame buffer intended for output to a display.
Modern smartphones are equipped with advanced embedded chipsets that can do many different tasks depending on their programming. GPUs are an essential part of those chipsets and as mobile games are pushing the boundaries of their capabilities, the GPU performance is becoming increasingly important.
well it’s like a graphics adaptor. like there is in our PC and is for playing graphic intense games.
in A5 there is no dedicated GPU so we cannot play games which require hardware acceleration to show high quality graphics.
in modern cell phones: brands like HTC, Sony, Samsung and others which work on Android based OS or Windows based do have dedicated graphics card known as GPU.
a cell phone which has a dedicated GPU can show higher frame rates like being able to play HD videos and games.
http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39-20089871-285/5-apps-for-benchmarking-your-android-device/
you can bench mark the A8 from any of the bench marking App’s mentioned in this link. Neocore will be a good tool to measure it’s frame rate and AnTuTu as well to see that where it stands between the HTC, Samsung, Nexus, Sony and others.
Please upload a screenshot of these two bench mark applications.
Waiting for a video review.
Thanks a lot for your reply once again and stay blessed.
Thanks for info dear , ill check and surely post screen shot . God bless you too
Also, would like to tell that i have used the Sygic application. from the cracked version you have shared and works really good. i do receive full GPS signals.
Works totally without data connection.
Dear I shared pakistan map with sygic so I cracked and shared for all to avail it, 3d map
Salam Farees,
THanks for uploading the Bench mark results with snapshots of Noir a8.
I would like to give you some suggestions as well. can you give me your email address so i can email you there.
I think it can help you to make your reviews more better and people will really like it.
Thanks once again.
Stay blessed and stay happy
W/salaam,
sure you can email me at farhan.imaan@gmail.com

http://www.whatmobile.com.pk/GFive_Bravo-G95
plz review this phone
thx
Let me check I’ll review it.
also tell me is ma GPS hy?
Yes
Please can you tell me what is ppi (Pixel density) for Noir A8.
Yet I don’t know ..
the Pixel density of Noir a8 is 240 ppi
Technical specification I have posted
QMobile Noir A8 has 4.3 inches screen with screen resolution of 480 x 800 pixels. To calculate ppi Pixel density of screen, take square of 480 and 800 then add both and take square root of the result. Now divide it with 4.3 which is screen size. So the exact ppi pixel density is 217 (same as Samsung Galaxy S2).
Thanks Mathematical Genius 🙂 Join Sharing Is Caring On Facebook , People like you would be great help for all ….
I m planning to purchase Noir A8. Can you tell me what is the weight of phone.
I think you read the review its mentioned there
what’s the price of this device?
waiting for its video review 🙂
Price 14500/- hopefully tomorrow I’ll upload review
Salam.
I have HTC gene 100.I want to by new Qmobile plzzzz guide me which one is best for me???? A2 or A8????
There is a huge difference in A2 and A8.
Asslam-o-Alaikom! Yesterday I visited the Sadar Mobile Market in Karachi and inquired about the price of Noir A8; yup! the answer was RS. 14,500 only. But for what I am still confused is its ROM. I inquired about its ROM (Internal Memory you can say) and I get two different statements. 2 Retailer said that it has 4 GB of ROM and one said 2 GB.
What I don’t like about Q-Mobile is that they didn’t give the full specification of their product in their website i.e ROM and RAM. These should be mentioned too but I don’t know why Q-Mobile is opting to hide it from its customers?
In my opinion It should be 4 GB as ICS (Android 4.0) OS used/occupied 1.5 GB of ROM (Internal Memory you can say) and in that case 2.5 GB would be available for user end!
I was sure about my opinion before I gone through your post. If anyone has correct information please do let me know.
One more thing if you are considering to buy NOIR A8 then be sure you are no interested to use 3G Mobile Internet which is more likely coming shortly to Pakistan. As an alternate of Noir A8 you can consider buying G-Five G-95 Bravo which has the same specifications like A8 but differs only in processor (single core) and has a bigger screen and last but the most important has 3G Ready! so be wiser and decide yourself!
1 gb for apps and 1.9 gb for media storage it is overall 4gb phone just confused in market because there they are separate
“1 GB for Apps and 1 GB for media storage” WHY?
Still Confused! 1 GB + 1.9 GB = 2.9 – 4 GB = 1.1 GB which is quite low capacity for ICS 4.0. I heard first time that there is:
If you have internal memory of 2.9 GB then it can be used for whatever you like i.e apps games and media at the same time. Isn’t it??
No up till now as have explored its the way I told u, its not qmobile but huawei has same it saves in way data to be erased if apps up n down
One more Query please as you have this phone; can you please tell me that it supports adobe flash?? if yes, is it pre-installed? if no, are you able to install it from Play Store?
Thanks for Your Kind Support!
It has installed and works for live tv streaming . No need to install it
farees plz tell me that from where i watch the video of a8 where you upload this video?
I will link it on my page and feb sharing is caring page
farees how are you? What this phone qmobile noir a8 have available google chrome and 3d games?? Please say me
I am doing great…
you can download google chrome and firefox, but i am using secure browser which comes built in , it works as chrome, I am uploading Review part one check it in 15 to 20 mins it will be here on the blog and beside it check the Technical specification POST .

Dear I use q a2 and I download firfox but firfox is very slow and goolge chrome not sport device q 2 is not sport big software and my sate is getting hot very hot you have a dora say me and information q w8 give me
Whats internal memory Dear I use q a2 and I download firfox but firfox is very slow and goolge chrome not sport device q 2 is not sport big software and my sate is getting hot very hot you have a dora say me and information q w8 give me
Whats internal memory
Dear Bilal,
Internal Memory is the space allocated for downloading apps ( Softwares like firefox ) A2 has 92 MB space which is very low when you have millions of Apps .
Firefox has some issue if you read on google play store people are complaint about the same slow loading issue,
I didn’t get Chrome not Sport Device !
Set is getting hot , kindly switch it off and take out the batter for 5 mins than power on it.

How are you?
-> I have some question about QMOBILE A8:
-> Hows its Loud speaker? Does its work loud with skype video call? Or we need earpiece?
-> You mentioned in earlier post that “Battery is Amazing on Wifi usage over 6 hours i used it, its 1800mmAh 6.66Wh”. Is this usage with 100% brightness or less?
-> Is A8 charge via USB?
-> Is A8 fully support 16 & 32 gb sdcard?
-> Can we upgrade to Android Jelly bean?
-> In normal case, How much Ram is available out of 512mb?
W/salam ,
Your Questions and Answers below
-> Hows its Loud speaker? Does its work loud with skype video call? Or we need earpiece?
No Speaker works well, you can optionally add earpiece for privacy else just the way it is in A2 or any other.
-> You mentioned in earlier post that “Battery is Amazing on Wifi usage over 6 hours i used it, its 1800mmAh 6.66Wh”. Is this usage with 100% brightness or less?
on the Auto Brightness, automatically it adjust the brightness on which i use this phone ,
-> Is A8 charge via USB?
Yes it does get charge via USB too.

Till 16 I have tested it works don’t know about 32 dear.
-> Can we upgrade to Android Jelly bean?
it is upgradable but no information about upgrading

hey have u tried temple run on A8?? is it working??
No I don’t play game I remember when I went to get it , that Qmobile sales person was playing Tample run
the price is reduced to 14200…..i have read it somewhere….
I don’t see any reason of going it down but if it has gone down than it’s good those who are willing to buy now.
slaam.
What about the build quality??? Iss it closer to international brands? Like HTC n sony?
And wt about warrenty? One year?
Quality is good, you won’t feel like your using 15k mobile phone from anywhere, warranty 1 year yes. rest I am not Qmobile person to know in details
Kya iske ander streaming hai ya wo b A2 ki tarha koi video nhi chalata ?

Thanks for the Information.
dear farees,
Your review has got me excited and confused. i had planned to buy Noir A8 today but reading about noir A10 has got me confused
should i wait for a-10or should i go for it with a-8.
I have used Noir a 8 it is amazing,,, but need some infor on A10 as to any tentative date or even a month of its launch and price range will be helpful
Noir A10 is gonna be Dual Core Processor somewhat a copy of S-III , but the Price Tag is going to be above 20,000 PKR .
It’s expected to launch next month November ( that’s what I was told by Qmobile Sales person in Sadar , Karachi ) where I got A8,
I am not interested in A10 because it’s Costly and I think what I need A8 does it well, infact yet I have to explore how to ROOT and upgrade it
because it’s possible in 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich platform , where as it wasn’t in previous 2.3 Ginger Bread Noir Series.
Rest it’s your Choice wait for it or go for A8.
Regards,
Farhan Imaan

Than I think its ups . Not written anywhere but can read from different angeles bit dull 🙂
what is firmware and how i check my cell phone have proper root
What is “firmware”?
Firmware refers to the applications and operating system that control how a cellphone or smartphone operates. It is called firmware rather than software to highlight that it is very closely tied to the particular hardware components of a device. Firmware is generally flashed into a phone’s ROM rather than simply being loaded into normal phone storage, where it could more easily be erased and lost in the event of a crash. Firmware updates are sometimes provided by a company as a way to fix bugs or introduce new functionality.
Hello, I am Samsung Galaxy S and Sony Xperia S 12MP User.
Now, I am going to buy a cheap mobile because big mobile cost me a lot.
I have few information about Android , On Increasing memory.
If you Add 8GB Card in Any Android Phone So You Can Divide 8Gb into 4Gb and 4Gb.4Gb will be available and other 4Gb will be added to Mobile Internal Memory , For A8 , 1+4 = 5GB !
This method depends on processor speed, Galaxy Mini With 600mhz has 180Mb but can be upgraded to 1gb without any lags.
So According to my Calculations , A8 Has Dual Core 1GHZ = 2GHZ 1 Core Power.
32 GB card Can Be added and upto 26GB Space can be give to phone.
Also, I am a developer on xda. A8 Can be overclocked to 1.3Ghz Dual core , Thats more power consuming but method for those who want to do real multitasking!
Few Points I want to know About A8.
1) Multitouch.
Install Multitouch App From Google play and test and share.
2) How solid is this phone?
Galaxy S is very solid, 15000 is still much amount, If phone is dropped so?
Or Pressure is applied ? or maybe inside your pocket ?
Dont Drop your phone and tell me hahaha…..Just tell how solid it feels?
You can sense from hand how solid it is, Its Finishing etc…
—–> BENCHMARKS
If i buy that mobile so i will make a Kernel for A8.
I am Sure after applying that kernel , users will get benchmarks upto 3500 Minimum.
ANy Info Requird so Contact me On Fb, I want to develop few things for this phone.
http://www.facebook.com/symbian.mac
http://www.facebook.com/android.techmac
Thanks
Dear neither I am here here to do marketing of Q fellas nor I would quote sony product , its simple as for everyone to understand without going into complications, indeed to help each other, if you are doing the same your most welcome.
Someone already can make a root , update.zip for this phone.
Rooting is not a problem, But if anyone give guaranty that its hardware are v solid so i can think about custom Rom.
Can i upgrade it firmware (Android OS, v4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich) ?
if yes , than what is the best option to upgrade ? or what is the method of up gradation . ?
Dear I don’t know the upgrade confirmed method but it can be upgraded
i want to buy this in sha Allah….but waiting for its price to be reduced back to 14500…let the eid ends….
I don’t it will be 14.5 again , pakistan is filled with HARAM KHORS

Assalamualikum brother….yar this phone is still short in the market…i have searched almost everywhere but i failed…dont know when this phone will come…and those who are selling are selling at higher price….can u get me this phone from sadar if u have any link in q mobile or from anywhere u know?? if yes plz tell…jazakAllah…
let me ask if it is available i’ll let you know
today i was told by a sales man that a8 price would be same i.e 14500 and the other one told 15200…and it will be available in two to three days….so iam now confused that should i wait for A8 or go for a6?? wat to do??
I would suggest you to wait. Be Patient till 8th.
hang on
ok jazakAllah brother…. as soon as u know…plz let me..
Bro , A6 launched today, even their website is not updated, but let me update you , check my new post on the blog Noir A6 launched . its same as A8 in all specification only difference is Shape maybe Screen size too . not sure because their site is not updated nor anyone on the web knows . PRICE 12,500/-
yes it is launched but its price is 11500….q sales man told me…but its not upgradable…..and its 1 ghz processor but a8 is dual core….this is a big difference…
Thanks for Update Info adding this into Post with your NAME !
sir iam not sure whether its upgradable or not….but according to price tag, it should not be upgradable….and i have read its info on a6 box…i didnt find anywhere written its upgradable….plz confirm of urself and let me know….thanks..
Dear I haven’t been to market , as I will go I will sure have a look and take a snap of it too .
i must say in look, a6 is awesome….but the main thing is processor….one is dual core..other is 1 ghz…wats ur opinion bro?? should i wait for a8 or go for a6?? when a8 will be available in market and wat will be its price?? any hint abt that??
next week A8 will be in Market but I would suggest you as a brother not to buy because its going to be 16k or above, A6 has Single core processor doesn’t make much difference honestly It’s slight expensive than A2 and way better than It, competing A8 , Buy A6 use it for few month hardly loss would be 2000/- you can always buy better one later by than GFive comes in market or other companies u never know A8 will be on its actual price after 2 months Jan 2013 Wait if you can ! but dont buy Expensively this company dont worth 16k
Faree
ok…thanks for helping me out…..i will never buy if its 16 k or above,…
Its use to buy because after a month or so price will reduce and A6 is doing all whats the difference in 4 and 4.3 screen size , i know its single Core like A2 but even than its fast , it has internal storage , cam LED flash GPS i am not use . I think very reasonable in such price 11500/-
yes…u r rite….price is not much….so in sha Allah i will go for a6…..and good bye to a8…..:)
Yes you can buy after few months better one who knows what’s coming ahead maybe good and in budget so I would suggest A6 now reasonable price
today i was told by a sales man that a8 price would be same i.e 14500 and the other one told 15200…and it will be available in two to three days….so iam now confused that should i wait for A8 or go for a6?? wat to do??
twice submitted same question answered HANG ON ! don’t get in hurry
ok 🙂 but u was said that a8 is going to be 16k or above…..every one is getting different info 🙂
Lets not speculate and wait for next week you will see, I am not economist here but I dont like Wild Cards either !
hmmm….got it..

join sharing is caring and post this on time line if anyone knows will surely respond you back there
bro freez mere pas qmobile a8 hai sometime wo wifi k signal drop kar deta hai any solution about thiz problem?????
Keep the Wifi device in range , I noticed myself Wifi range is less than other mobiles don’t get it why but hardly 10 to 15 feet it will be on 1 signal
Screen Resolution??? Display Quality ???
480 x 800 Scale = 1.5 / PPI = 240
Pixel Density?, app speed?,Battery timings?, re-sale?
And what would be the expected price in Good-Second hand condition?
Dear Sadam ,
Everything is mentioned in A8 post and comments replied by me about the phone beside it I am not in buying or selling mobiles in market so I cannot answer how much is 2nd hand . kindly check comments you will find lot of information and technical information A8 post
Faree
does anyone know about its battery timings…??
its gpu is powervrsgx 531. galaxy nexu has sgx 540
yes its 531
A10 has 3g support & and more memory as well but it has very large screen 5 inches. i dont like big mobiles, 4 inch screen is better for me. big phones is difficult to carry in the pocket and it is more visible and difficult to hide.
A8 is so far The Best phone by Qmobile
does anyone know about its battery timings…??
A8 has good talk time as well as gprs wifi enabled net usage on auto brightness it gives me 8 hrs plus net usage and talk time 6 hrs tested
does any one kno abt the upgradation procedure of q a 8
Yet official update is not available don’t rush in you might damage your phone. be patient
I called today to qmobile lahore office they said it is confirmed that A8 will come tonight to lahore and will available in market tomorrow. I read all the comments and posts but one thing i guess is not answered. My query is that can we download apllications using a8 from google play ? and does google play shows ur mobile model and tells what is compatible and what is not ?
Beside this Faree ur blog is really very helpful. Thanks 🙂
Thanks Zohaib for appreciating my blog 🙂
1. Google Playstore detects the phone, when you go via app it wont show u any phone detail A8 or anything but if you go via web browser than it will show you, yell I haven’t checked is it showing A8 or not but when I had A5 it was showing Noir A5. Apps which are not compatible it tells you on every android OS phone. not just Q.
Faree
Well Faree
it is a great blog.
the best thing is that u r helping people.
stay like that alwaz.

I dont think USB OTG , but sound is great I have tested as former sound engineer I liked the sound quality of it on a good headphones

Dolphin or Chorme as per your requiration .
Salam, What are its NEGATIVE things, wants to buy it & what about VIBER , Can u test VIBER in it that if it works properly or not & right now the price is 15,400.
first of all people have made VIBER talk of the town, let me get it straight , Gtalk does the same task, it is just different apps even there are alternate apps available too, Viber doesnt work properly on any noir series beside Noir A5
– Negative
we cannot compare this phone with Nokia , Samsung or Iphone because the standards are totally different.
No idea about Gtalk.. So If viber des not work properly we have many other software applications like viber, RIGHT.. & what is the talk time of Qmobile Noir A 8 & any other information which is important you can share with us . thanks 🙂

Hi Farees. is there any way of unlocking the screen without using the power button. The main problem and only problem so far I found with my NOIR A 8 is that there is no way of unlocking the screen display except to press the power button to activate the screen.Well there is no harm in that, but it looks like after 6 months of use, this power button will stop working. any ideas on this?

Samsung announces the 8-core(octa core) Exynos 5 Octa mobile chipset. It has 2 quad-core processors in one chipset. The chipset in particular will pack a quad-core ARM Cortex™-A15 CPU clocked at 1.8GHz and a quad-core ARM Cortex™-A7 CPU clocked at 1.2GHz, the first one to use ARM’s big.LITTLE technology. Samsung claims it’s the fastest and most energy-efficient mobile processor in the world, boasting a 70 percent increase in battery life. ARM big.LITTLE processing is designed to deliver the vision of the right processor for the right job. In current big.LITTLE system implementations a ‘big’ ARM Cortex™-A15 processor is paired with a ‘LITTLE’ Cortex™-A7 processor to create a system that can accomplish both high intensity and low intensity tasks in the most energy efficient manner.Samsung claims that the 3D gaming performance is twice that of anything available at the moment.The chip will be built on a 28nm process and pack 2MB of cache.
We’re sure that there will be plenty of rumors that this will be the chipset in the Galaxy S IV, but it’s more likely to see it in a tablet first.

you told me earlier that this phone can record 720p(1280×720) video on 3gp format, can you please tell me the frame rate of the videos ?
30fps
Dear Farees bhai, you told me that A8 can record 720p(HD) video @ 30fps but i am suspecting that it can only record 480p(vga) videos.How did you checked yor recorded videos ? did you just predicted the resolution by watching the quality of the video ? or you checked the details of the recorded videos.Did you see any option to change the resolution of the video in camera settings.
I am asking this because i recently watched the sample of a video recorded from A8 which was 480p.
I record news coverage and i have HD 1080p sony bloggie now u cannot compare it with full HD but its 720p b tut 3pg formation mess up
faree bhai dosen`t matter,,,,yesterday i got a risk about installation,,,and now im successful,,i have install 2 or 3 apps in my android,,,they are working…but i download them in my laptop via _qmobile apps_,,,,,,,thanks,,

what were you installing Junaid bhai ? and how did you installed them. I am asking this because i am also planning to buy noir A8. and also tell me how this phone is working, its wifi is working good or not ?
can you please check its NenaMark 2 Benchmark and tell me the result.
why not sure FAISAL,,,dear i installed torch application for my flash cam,,,,,,,,first you have to load apps in your card then go to file explorer>app(where u have your application)>click on application which you want to install>installation complete,,,there will be a message about application that you want to open the application or cancel,,,depends on you,,,if want to see that application working or not just click,,or if you dont want to open it direct,,then come to main menu scroll the screen,,the application will be at the end of your menu,,,,,,,now just click on application and enjoy,,,,phone is working good and WIFI not better than as compare to Nokia i personally used N8,,now using Noir A8,,,their is a big difference in WI-FI,,,how can i check its NenaMark 2 bench mark???or how it will be useful for us,,,,,thanks,,,:)
NenaMark 2 is a type of benchmark that checks & calculate the ability of a GPU.NenaMark 2 checks & calculate the ability of GPU and gives the result in frames per second (FPS).
Samsung Galaxy S III has 58 fps
HTC one X shows 56 fps
Sony Xperia sola shows 27 fps
noir A10 shows 25 fps.
NenaMark 2 comes preinstalled or you can download it from google play store.
And i want to ask that, is there any problem with the message system of noir A8 ? cos many people is complaining about it.
No there is northing wrong with it
hmmm,,,thanks for sharing this information,,now i will try to find it,,,,,or there is no thing to worry about msg,,,when you type its shows the correct spell of your word,,,changing your words in english auto matically,,but if you write some thing (for example,,,AS SALAM WALIKUM)then double touch on it,,it will be saved for next time,,,now when you want type just as salam,,it will be shows complete salam which you have been saved last time,,,,,,

Salam, How To Update my Noair A8 to Jelly Bean….But There is no Option in About Phone.
Technically there is way but yet not properly easy guidable, so hang on till Q comes up with JB
Smartphones with less or equal to 512mb of ram cannot be Upgrade to Jelly Bean.
Q mobile should announce their first quad-core phones without any delay. Micromax has already announced Micromax A116 Canvas HD with QUAD-CORE 1.2GHz Cortex™-A7 CPU+PowerVR™ Series5XT GPU from Imagination Technologies.
Qmobile noir A10 = Micromax A110 Canvas 2.
Both Qmobile & Micromax buy mobiles from the same Chinese company.
Kindly reconfirm what you have just posted 512 mb can’t be upgraded xperia is running on it,
It shows the message ‘this action can not be completed due to low storage space’ please clearsome space and try again.’ What am i suppose to do?
In which phone dear join sharing is caring many will help u , i evn chat and skype there id incpak.radio on which i take calls join ask there
This post is pertaining to Q Mobile Noir A8. I am encountering two problems:
1) while running apps a pop up always appears saying ‘LOW STORAGE SPACE – There is not enough storage space to complete this action. Please clear some space and try again’.
But these apps are in my internal srorage which is only 254 mb used and 764 mb free. So there is already so much space!
2) My sd card is full, so i want blazer to download directly in phone memory which is 1.84 gb free. How can i do that?
I have written on sharing and caring as well and cant find any place on icpak to ask this?
Sharing is caring surely will be answered write- Asked on farees blod referred here ( Aleem Ashraf ) he is admin

Got this phone few days back and loving it … about battery it lasts for around 5 hours of continous usage including internet, gaming, apps etc…if not used continously then lasts around 1 day … takes around 3 hrs to charge …
All features like camera, video cam, GPS, wifi, gprs working smoothly …
games like Temple Run 2 running smoothly …
tested skype , had to install latest version from store for video calls
viber has robotic voice issue but hopefully will get it fine some way …
All in all a good deal for the low price range
Thanks for sharing review

Which one should i buy noir a8, noir a9 or noir a10 plz reccomend.
A9
I heard that games lag in a9 so should not buy it what about a10
A9 is better
I heard that games doesnt work well on on qmobile a9 because of its iqs screen is that true’
Untrue
I heard that games lag in a9 so should not buy it what about a10
Pl reply
I am going to buy a9 in a couple of days
Games works fine in A9 better than A10
Some high end games may not work because of the low end GPU & less internal storage.
Kindly refer to newly formed forum and lets discuss which games can work and cannot at http://www.incpak.com/forum register there as member from today topics and all will start very useful technology forum for all

Qmobile Noir touch is better than HTC, I have been using htc for 2 years but, Noir touch quality is better and its has been made according to pakistan people requirment so Noir is better than HTC. Noir has arabi and urdu language proper than htc with dual sim. everything is perfect. I will suggest people leave Htc and get Noir series from Noir A2 1giga.
Does a9 has an indicator when message comes or misscalls like blackberry has one.
Dont know I’ll find out and let you know
