8 Issues Frequently Faced by YU Yureka Users

yu smartphone logoMicromax’s sister company – YU has received a decent sales start for its first smartphone offering – the Yureka. The phone which runs Cyanogen OS offers a really amazing hardware at a budgeted price making it one of the serious competitors for best value for money smartphones. However, all is not well for the users who have already purchased the phone as there are a number of issues with the smartphone and on top of that the service and support provided by YU is non-existent. Let’s look at some of the most common issues with Yureka.

1. Excessive Heating

Excessive heating of the Yureka is one issue that nearly every Yureka user is unhappy about. While this was expected considering the phone packs a powerful Snapdragon 615 processor in a pretty slim design, the users aren’t liking it. With that much of power, the phone generates a lot of heat especially when playing games and the heat can be felt quickly as the chassis of the phone starts heating up in minutes when a game is running.

Only advisable solution to heating (which works) is reducing the clock speed of the processor, but then a question arises as to why the phone packs a powerful processor if that power cannot be properly utilized.

2. Screen going blank during calls

Next comes an issue with the proximity sensor of nearly every Yureka whereby the screen fails to wake up when the phone is pulled away from the ear while making or receiving calls. This makes accessing the in-call menu and disconnecting an active call a troublesome task. This is most commonly faced in situation where there is low lighting and a long duration call was placed.

Users need to either wait for the other party to end the call or press the power key to wake up the screen and then access the in-call menu. An update was pushed to Yureka devices which was supposed to fix the issues with proximity sensor, but that barely improved the situation.

3. Random Restarts

Not sure what causes it, but the phone sometimes does restart on its own at random intervals. Sometimes while it is being used and at other times just while it was sleeping. It could be related to the excessive heating of the phone causing the CPU to force a shut down, but there can be other reasons as well such as a Bug in an app or the OS itself.

4. Charging, Battery Drain & Poor Calibration

Another one of most reported issues, the battery of Yureka is already small when we look at the screen size and the power-hungry processor. Then there are serious battery drain or calibration issues related to the phone. The phone’s battery sometimes drops considerable levels while the phone was not even in use. It would sometimes rise up after a while, but at other times it wouldn’t, making the phone a pretty risky investment as it can die at any moment.

Charging the phone seems to be a problematic task as well. The phone takes a really long time to move from 99% to 100%. The 1% wouldn’t bother many, but a lot of users who like unplugging their phones only when they reach 100% get frustrated. It takes hours to reach that 100% charging mark.

5. Poor Camera

The phone boasts of a 13MP camera with a CMOS sensor from Sony, but that’s only on paper. The quality of images captured by the camera barely compares to 8MP shots taken by a good camera phone. No idea if it is an issue with the software that processes the images or the key hardware, but there’s something missing making the camera a shame for the 13MP tag. We’re not claiming here that other smartphones at this price come with decent shooters, just that the 13MP seems like an exaggerated number for the quality of images it captures.

6. Back Cover Fades Away

The back cover on the Yureka is much talked about for its unique-ish texture called the moonstone finish. However, users have reported that the texture starts fading especially if the phone is often used with wet hands. This puts the manufacturing process of the back cover in question. It seems that the texture was applied over the back covers rather than them inheriting it.

Best bet is to buy a case for the phone to extend the life of the phone’s original cover.

7. Poor Loudspeaker, Okay-ish Mic

If you’re a music lover, the loudspeaker on the Yureka wouldn’t please you at all. The loudspeaker outputs a seriously low volume and that too starts getting distorted when raised to full. Similarly, the Mic wouldn’t get any praises. It just works out, but the people using their phone in crowded places or riding a bike will have a hard time making the other party understand.

Users have also reported that the loudspeaker stops working at times and requires a restart before any audio would come out of them again. A bunch of users are also having issues with their phones where the earpiece speaker stops working and they are forced to take calls on loudspeaker or headphones.

8. Nearly Zero Service & Support

When users face issues, they start looking for support. However, contacting YU support was barely a satisfactory experience for the Yureka users. The support line generally stays busy and when it connects, there’s nobody to answer the call. In rare circumstances where a call is connected to a support representative the representative fails to provide a satisfactory response. The support staff is not only untrained, they also don’t show the willingness of helping the users. Those trying to contact them via email need to wait for weeks to get a reply the initial reply.

A few lucky ones who managed to register their complains with the YU support are waiting for weeks to get a follow-up from YU regarding the issues being faced by them. Don’t know how these issues will be solved without a support team which has the knowledge and patience to deal with them.

Yureka just isn’t for everybody

As announced during the introduction of YU brand and the launch of Yureka, the brand is targeting the geeky population which loves taking risks and tries to sort out issues themselves. Hence, YU is probably targeting the wrong audience by making it available to everybody or else they just failed to do it right with their first smartphone. The phone faces a lot of issues, some of which are software related and geeky minds would love solving them out themselves, but the non tech-savvy population is only going to wait for YU to sort them out which might be too much of expectation from them. The other hardware related ones aren’t easy to sort out without proper support from YU, which isn’t happening as of now.

Opinion:

It is not just the company’s fault when users expect too much for a product which is already too good for the price paid. Problems related to the Battery Backup and Heating of the phone aren’t something which even the company can solve. The phone comes with a smaller battery as compared to its needs so it is expected to deplete faster, similarly for the heating, the phone will heat up because of a powerful processor resting in a thin chassis. The above two issues come in a huge number and probably frustrate the support staff resulting in an unsatisfactory experience for the users who genuinely need support for serious issues such as hardware breakdown. Thus 3 of these issues could be avoided if perspective buyers sum up their needs and compare them with what the phone offers instead of just buying it because it is selling like hotcakes.

  • Sir,
    The 8 point line up is exact, the opinion makes me tempt to write this comment, i supported this mobile by buying a made in india product, every product has its own problem & solution. A PRODUCT WILL NOT SURVIVE OR EXIST WITH PROBLEM & WITHOUT ANY SOLUTION.

    • Hi Kumar, while I do understand your opinion, mine is different. By the way, Yureka was not made in India. It was a rip-off of a Chinese smartphone, rebranded, imported and sold in India.

  • if i have to recommand about a good phone … i will never recommend this mobile… worst worst…..mobile is yureka…..i had that worst mobile ,,and suddenly one day it starting behaving like an idiot ….i.e ,,restarting and no opening the screen..
    and then i had to format my all pics and do many things ,,,,…
    but seriously it was very worst mobile///// please never buy this

  • Got some headphone jack port issues with my 6-7 months old Yureka Note, contacted the Service center and they were like “THIS ISN’T OUR PROBLEM”. Had a nasty argument that if the Jack port comes fitted with the phone then whom should I contacy for issues? He was like “I don’t know. But this isn’t our issue.”
    Really fed up of YU SERVICE.
    I will discourage everyone from using Yu Products.

  • I am using Eureka5510 for last 18 months. I got replacement of the phone once in th 9th month. Uptill now it was working ok subject to all the above defects. But last 4-5 days out of 2 Simcards one of BSNL gets disappeared & the phone switch over all the functions like Dat Connection, SMS from Bsnl Sim to other Vodafone Sim which I have inserted about a fortnight ago.I have to either Reboot the phone or switch off Power & restart after 2-3 minutes.This disappearance disturbs Date ,Time settings too.Can any one suggest any remedy? Simplest will be to take off second Vodafone Sim card & see the result. I think the phone may get switched off, so not tried.

  • Hi to all y(o)u disgruntled guys an gals!
    I have been using this phone for the past 1½ years at least. Sure it had(?) problems. But thanks to a geek I have for a son, he has maintained my phone to be running and beating almost whatever has been produced in the market to date.
    So, to be fair, the phone’s good, but tweaks are necessary here and there…And you were warned of its linage (cyanogen)..That it is a developers phone , so don’t crib. Be inquisitive, work up the net, find answers to your problems. Suddenly you all will be more savvy than all the other blokes who use plain Jane mobiles!

    • I understand your opinion. But it wasn’t targeted as a “developer’s phone”, instead a phone for ‘digital natives’ aka Geeks. Those who like to customize, to make changes, to play around. But that does not mean you’ll bundle a software which has so many issues. If that’s expecting too much, then they should sell the phone with a warning on the product page that it comes with issues which you need to sort on your own.
      Anyways, the proximity sensor issue is a hardware related one. The battery wearing out too soon is again a hardware thing. Same goes for the non functioning Mic, speaker and what not. You probably are one of those lucky guys who got a good unit which not many issues.

  • I am a new yureka owner,love the phone,hate what micromax has done with the software,,
    I am trying to fix the problems myself
    About excessive heating-custom rom and custom kernel ,,and aslo if you can change the resolution to 720p
    Proximity sensor,-It works fine,,but somehow they havent screwed this tight and it seems to be a bit misaligned- to fix open the back cover place a small piece of paper over the proximity sensor location(b/w three screws on the top)-make sure that it will get a little bit pressure when closing down,,this seems to help
    random restarts-caused by weak ram management, again custom os
    Poor camera..Custom rom (camera sensor is actually good)
    Hope i helps

    i have bought first version of yureka phone and facing some serious issue apart form the issues which are mentioned above

    1. menu option disappear
    2. some time sim not get network at all unless restart
    3. it is not 4g volte phone as claimed by yureka
    4. Distortion in audio output; not able to hear anything.
    5. Screen change in tint color, some time its blue sometime its bit warmer (orange and red shade).
    6. for all the problem yu service online centre has one solution ; RESET THE PHONE.

    I will strongly recommend not to buy any yureka product and i am not thinking to buy any micromax product too.

  • A big head ache. They make all bluffs about the charger that it communicates with the mobile device and hence the device would receive more power from the charger to speed up charging, etc. But the thing is reverse and to be frank, worst. Instead of getting charged, it is getting drained. Even I tried charging earlier at 35% also. No use. Wonder how I m going to manage such problems. Log list we have to delete 1 by 1 else, delete all. No multiple selection option.!? Device was supplied with just 2 ring tones. Same way, finding & setting touch pad sound would put you in a mad state of mind.! About the Head Phones….Alas!.. There comes the other problem. If I need put to use my head phone, I need to switch my mobile off then plug in the head phone and on. Then only the head phone is showing on the screen top and is usable. same way to remove it I need to switch off and re start. Probably, I m talking about some hell?

  • I’ve updated to 5.1.1 from 5.0.2 and so many restart problem and so many settings like automatic brightness, am pm settings,battery percentage missing and about 10-15 settings were missing…..plz anyone tell me the solution

  • Hello, I m using yureka plus .I have updated the lollipop version ,cyg12.1smthg,while using any program ,my phone goes off & then restarts automatically & wallpaper changes into system default.Any solution.It is becoming very hetic for me.

    • Same here…
      Besides the battery related issue…
      And the service is really in a sorry state…
      If there’s a solution, let me know….
      Or else I might as well replace this device with Lenovo K4 Note…

    • ya brother its true I am also suffering from same problem but now I am able to resolve.
      1.Just reset your phone ones, without loosing your data dont worry about that
      2.Just go on settings-security-device administrators-only select cyanogen device manager.
      and also make pointer speed in the mid

      especially open your back cover of phone you can see 2 wholes right of camera put a piece of paper on that and
      close the cover

      here is that procedure which I followed
      if any problem contact me [email protected]

  • The Lollipop 5.1.1 has an issue of compatibility with Google Play Services update ! Does anybody in Micromax aware of this ! Who the hell is the CEO of this bloddy brand of Yu Yureka !

  • POOR QUALITY DEVICE MUCH PATHETIC SUPPORT SERVICE.

    I dropped my phone from barely a hight of 2-feet & the so called gorilla glass got smashed.
    As it was a physical damage case & with no other option left , I agreed to pay them Rs.3000 to the co. for swapping my phone with a refurnished one.
    They picked my phone on the 24th of Sep & till today I haven’t got my device back.

    The Support Executives keeps telling me to wait for a little while & that they are sorry for inconvenience caused.

    earlier they told that the whole swapping process takes around 7-10 working Day…. but in my case more than 25-day has already passed away & still I don’t have any idea when will I get my device back.

    guys its a cheep quality device more over their support service is even worse…….
    “DON’T FALL FOR IT”

    Yureka your company , your devices , your support services all Sucks……

    • I know the quality of service is pathetic, but you really shouldn’t be complaining about the broken glass. In many cases, smartphones from good brands failed to bear a fall as short as 0.5-ft. It all depends on the angle at which the phone fells and what part hits the ground first. Gorilla glass is still a glass (a bit toughened) and hence very prone to shattering just like a normal glass.

  • Yu is not a good phone.the screen goes black while trying to make a call or i received a call unable to pick up calls when i rectified all the things using callibration setting now its sensor always remains blinking and charging time is more than discharging time ……

      • i’m facing the same problem when i update it to 5.1.1

        problem:-
        1>when i save 1 wallpaper it’ll change automatically after few min or some sec. & show the default wallpaper.
        2>lock automatically after few min & blank means flickering max tm .

        how to solve it , plz give me some solution

    • This issue is becoz u put u glass screen guard on top of it , so that the proximity senser is playing while calls are coming , u just HV to re calibrate the sender no big issue . less than 15 sec to fix dis .

  • Hi,my kid used to play with my yureka mobile often and now i noticed that my MENU button is missing and got lost, how to restore it back without resetting or rebooting my phone,can anyone gimme a solution quickly pls

    • It would be on some other homescreen. Some scrolling will help you find it. Drag it back to its original position then.

  • I am also the user of the worst ever seen mobile yu yureka . It gets heated even when it is not in use, take more time to charge (ex; 7 to 8 hours) and discharge within an hour. I am also get the problem of reboot when playing games and low loudspeaker, sensor not working good

  • usb storage is not showing when connected to pc etc plzzzz urgently provide help at my email address

  • Recently purchased this mobile.., facing problems like screen going blank while receiving calls and making calls. Cant even answer a call. Battery takes hours to charge and discharges within few hours.

    • IF you are still facing the issue, you can calibrate the Proximity sensor in this way:
      1. Open the DialPad on your Yureka
      2. Dial *#*#7769#*#*
      3. In the proximity calibration screen, tap on Start
      4. Wait a few seconds till it reads Calibration Good (in green)
      5. Tap Exit and you’re good to go.

      In case you see Calibration failed after step 3, it means your proximity sensor has hardware problem which you need to replace. Otherwise your black screen issue will get resolved if it id “Good”.

      I am another Yureka user like you and faced same issues which got resolved by following above steps.

  • My phne gets switch off several times while operating.
    My phone’s os also crashed once.
    Camera facing many problems.
    Rear camera isn’t working.
    N main problem is there isn’t service available nearby.

    • Ek baat camera ka data clear kar. Or theme rakhha h toh removed kar kuch theme k wajah se phone restart karta h

  • YU yureka is not a good mobile ,many people have bought this mobile ,but after some it started hanging issue heat ,sensor is not good very bad customer care I think government should ban in YU yureka company soon

  • Hi,

    The review is well stated but you forgot one fact, this is best best performance phone at this price bracket.

    I really did not like the battery part and In Gurgaon I am using LTE full day it barely lasts for 4 hours max, however given at this price 9000 I just love this phone otherwise just for reading phone lasts upto 1.5 days without any issue. I have bought 15000 mah battery bank to counter this issue @ 1500RS.

    Screen is exceptionally good, nearest competitor K3note does not come with snapdragon and does not have Gorilla Glass, Better camera, Cyanogen (Loved by people who love to hack), USB OTG, such small features does make it best deal.

    Regards,
    Shakti

    • May I suggest everyone to buy another phone if u want to make phone calls . whatever you do like calibrating getting into recovery mode doesnt work micromax better call back this set

        after dis jst increase ur brightness as u do by going lft to right at the top of ur mob near scroll bar

    • Just take out the battery ….
      Again plugin,
      Long press the power button so as u r switching on your phone wait a few minutes probably 5 minutes…..
      Again press the power button as u r making your screen on if u don’t have any password or pattern to open the lock u r really lucky….
      Slide as if u r unlocking the phone…
      Go to top of the screen touch and then slide from left to right!!!!
      95% chances you will see your screen on : ) …
      Reply if resolved…

  • Play music play in some songs, than sound is normal but the cruiser to move reviding sound is increase so pls how the problems solve

  • I have been using yureka for a few months now, and i have sony z ultra and samsung note3 neo…why i mention this is because i can give you comparison.
    1. The camera works great for me, and it clicks much much better pics than my ultra or neo3
    2. heating is obviously there during games because of the reason mentioned above, there are various apps on the playstore that you can use to regulate the cpu clocking, of course switching off the phone for a few min after continuous game for long can help
    3. proximity sensor issue is resolved once you do caliberation, though i wish the makers took better care when they roll out updates
    4. at 9k, there is no phone which comes even close to what yureka offers, so guys plz dont just pull down a phone, i have used some very good handsets and trust me, no phone as long as its android is bug free ….. (remember, android is a free and open operating system which allows develop to modify system stuffs pretty easily, so most issues that you face would be caused by some or the other app, so my suggestion, keep an eye on when you install an app..and if u feel something weird happening post install, remove that one app which eats away your overall experience)
    5. notification issue is also resolved in multiple posts online……if you have greenify, remove that and see if ur notifications are working fine or not?…..

    for the price i paid, i am fully satisfied with the phone……

    For all those who face various issues you can try searching for resolution as xda developers website 🙂

  • AFTER UPGRADING WITH LOLLIPOP MY PHONE IS SHOWING SOME PROBLEM..PLS SOMEONE SHARE ABOUT IT..
    1.PHONE IS NOT CONNECTING WITH MY PC ONLY SHOWING CHARGING..
    2.WALLPAPER IS NOT WORKING..SHOWING BUG REPORTS..AND I ALSO SUBMITTED IT…
    3.AUTO BRIGHTNESS DISSAPPERED…ONLY SHOWING SLIDER…

    • 1. after connecting USB cable, you will automatically see an option displayed on screen “Connected in Charging Mode” touch it you will get options there you can select PC connection option.

      2 go to Theme settings, reset it to default & then try changing wallpaper

      3 even I have not found, This option is not available after updating lollipop

  • For screen blank on incoming or outgoing calls: You have to calibrate the proximity sensor anf for that dial *#*#7769#*#* and then tap calibrate and follow onscreen instruction, it will calibrate the sensor. Here is some guide for some noobs who does not understand a bit technical, after dialing the number given above it will ask you bring your finger near the sensor and then move away only twice(though you can do as much as you want!).. And it will calibrate the sensor, below will be written good on the screen, you can exit after that.

  • Hey frndzz please help me …..just after purchasing i started mobile n found that i have click 5 times to open ny folder…n i m not able to go in nother page …plse help

  • I have YU yureka phone I m facing a problem when I connect the OTG pendrive phone is continuously restarted. Please tell me the solution

  • I purchased yureka one month ago.there r some problems. Camera quality is not up to the mark. And after update screen blackout when calling or receiving call.yesterday i went to service center. They told me because of phone fell down thats why problem occurred. So warranty is over& light cencer has to change. Now ihave tried *#*#7769#*#* and its works

  • I got the phone about a month ago and I am not facing the problems mentioned above… I am a little unhappy only with the camera zoom in which completely pixelated the images. the phone doesn’t randomly restart, takes only 5 to 10 minutes to reach 100 from 99. I think most problems here are a bit blown up… it’s a decent phone and made all my friends jealous…. every person I know who wants to buy a phone is going to get a yureka…

  • First time i called the yu care and i got my complaint no and they registered my complaint yes they are untrained but well it kinda worked for me and about tht replacement thing ,two of my friends have already replaced there’s so i m sure its gonna work for me too .(btw some happy customers have to raise thier voice so tht ppl can see the complete picture ,the fact -its a perfect value for money phone !!!end of story!!! 😛 😛 😛

  • OK so i m going to be honest now from the day i bought my yureka i never faced the proximity sensor issue battery not reaching 100% bug etc etc ,even the loud speaker is average if u disable the audio fx app in loudspeaker mode (but yeah the sound is a bit low).Camera quality (in my opinion ) is descent for a tag of 13mp.Everything is working fine in my yureka no excessive heating n stuff u mentioned in ur blog (maybe thts y i m happy with the phone ) but yesterday i found out an issue tht isnt mentioned in ur blog .Whenever i connect the otg cable to my phone it just freezes n reboots again n again unless i remove the otg .I googled abt the issue but couldn’t find a fix however i read some comments on some random yureka youtube videos where users complaint about this issue so yeah i m not alone .The unskilled yu care executive (i agree with you ,the customer support service is pretty lame) told me to upgrade my phone to lolipop to fix the issue and if it doesn’t work out they ll replace it .So ok i was being biased its a electronic gadget it has its own set of bugs but i still believe at this price point its not a bad deal at all (and yes narendra gaming is my thing lol but not the only thing 🙂 )

    • Each of us tend to have our own opinion and it isn’t unknown that only unsatisfied customers make notice while the satisfied ones stay calm and enjoy! LOL
      I don’t know about the 13MP tag bro, but all I know is that my Nokia Lumia with 6.7 captured similar if not better images to the Yureka and my new Zenfone 2 with 13MP captures much better images than my Lumia and Yureka. So, would’ve been really nice if it was tagged 8MP. It really is taking images no better than 8MP of a reputed company. Sure the price difference, but better be honest instead of over-rating 😛
      Customer service is a serious frustration. You upgrade to lollipop, contact them again and they will tell you that a level 2 tech will call you who never does actually. They really aren’t interested in offering service to the customers and lets be honest, the replacement model doesn’t seem inclined to a low budget phone that Yureka is 😛
      Bugs and issues, your best bet is to flash the Stock ROM. OTA did work fine for me though. The issues mentioned in the post were the ones I received here in BULK hehe Loudspeaker, I did try disabling that AudioFX and that was barely helpful. VLC Player however is able to throw a lot of audio at full, but super distorted 🙁

  • Power off your device
    Press Vol+ & Vol- and Power button altogether.
    You can see few options – choose wipe cache partition
    Do a factory reset after the lolipop update.
    You are now on!

  • You are being totally biased .I guess u r a yureka hater .I have my samsung mega duos (costed me 25000) and my yu yureka (8900) and trust me yureka iss way better than mega in gaming ,its snapier ,faster and it doesnt even hangs like the mega so Shut up dude i love my phone stop wining .Look at the price tag and dont tell us what others users said tell us what u know exactly about the phone use it urself for a week or two u ll know the reality …

    • I’ve used it and I’ve added the reference of other users because else somebody like you would come up and call me biased (but you still did). I agree on the price vs performance point, but that is not enough. If YU wants to sell me a Use and Throw product (no matter for a cheaper price), I am not willing to accept that. I know many customers have expanded their budget just to buy a BETTER phone which YU claims to offer, but they’re largely dissatisfied with the product. It is phone which has a poor proximity sensor, poor mic and speaker, heats up too much and has ZERO service. Look at the price tag and what they offer. Would it be too unfair if they write already that it is a 5MP camera instead of wining of that 13MP? Would it be if they used a slightly better mic and speaker (because it is A PHONE)? Too much if I expect a functional Proximity Sensor (why is it there? To keep screen OFF all the time?)? My bad if I want them to quote the true capacity of the battery (it is over-rated. The world knows!)? And is it too much if I ask them to stop the DOORSTEP SERVICE GIMMICK and open up some service centers? Come on bro!
      You might be happy with the phone and that’s good (maybe because gaming is your only thing?). You should also consider looking up at the opinion called up in the post and if you scroll through this blog or my social feeds, Samsung is already one company that I hate. Because they have stupid design and aren’t a value for money thing.

  • i buyed from amazon, very bad service , my phone restarting while watching videos, opening galleries, connecting otg cable

  • Guys I was considering the purchase of Yuphoria from Yu but after reading the comments above I really dont know if thats a good idea.

    Any suggestions if I should buy Yuphoria? if not then can anyone suggest an alternate brand phone under 10K INR which could offer Snapdragon, 2 SIM slots atleast 1 with 4G capability, 16GB ROM + Expandable memory slot.

    • Do look at Huawei Honor 4x. It seems like a good package. Otherwise, the Lenovo series. Having physical service centers is a big plus over having Snapdragon.

  • Micromax Yureka color are faded . As any color like the Red , its actually don’t look like original reg color . . its like faded red color.

  • My YU phone restarts when a call is just initiated, or when in the middle of a call. It’s highly annoying and also highly undesirable for any phone user. When we need to communicate urgently, if it re starts, we would not be able to contact for the next few minutes at least 15 min, as the phone is rebooting. It’s highly frustrating. No customer support is available in Bangalore. Seriously considering to discard the phone as I am not sure of its stability to work as a basic communication device.

  • My some aaps are not responding and GTA SA is not running properly it opens and close down after 1 min but in my Samsung s3 it is running smoothly with just 1 GB Ram … Pls help me

  • Really a very good piece of work
    Facing problems of charging mobile.
    Updated to Yureka but after that mobile is displaying charging option but the mobile isnt plugged

  • vaav…. I’ve faced many of the above expressed problems after purchasing the product but, somehow, these problems were automatically solved by themselves after some days. One of the problems is, the screen going off while trying to make or receive a call. I know that, this has something to do with the proximity sensor but, couldn’t solve it as this control is not given in the normal control settings.

    But, the problem reoccurred after getting the Lollypop update and I got frustrated with the phone for the last 20 days. No, help is offered from the customer care and that no. is always busy. I wonder whether that no. is active or not.

    But just now, I got through your site and got solved the problem by adjusting the proximity sensor as per your steps. Thank u very much and kudos to your team for helping out.

  • Hello Anshul,

    Your Phone’s Proximity sensor needs to be re calibrated.
    Try to dial “*#*#7769#*#*”. Calibration interface will come up.
    Hit start button to re calibrate.
    Your issue will get resolved.

  • Same issue, i placed a cancellation order via amazon,,, that only what we can do…. worst phone … just hype and nothing ….

    • Hello Prashanth,

      • Dear, my screen gone blank suddenly. It is still showing charging battery when switched off and when I restart it it showing yureka logo then cynogen and then the screen goes blank. What should i do now

    • Guys it is an epic phone. These guys have exaggerated it’s problems too much. I did face the screen blackout during call problem. I called the YU customer support which responded and willingly solved my problem.
      I will give u guys the solution to the screen blackout problem.
      Dial *#*#7769#*#*
      Proximity sensor caliveration will begin
      Then press start calibration
      Wait for 15secs
      Then click on exit
      Problem solved
      100% works
      I guarantee it.
      It solved my problem

      • The post simply comes out of the experience of real users. I knew some would find it exaggerated and for that there’s a link to the comments.
        As about the screen blackout, we’ve posted the solution here already. You just need to understand that the solution only works in Lollipop and the post was published a good time before Lollipop was released.

  • I have updated my yureka to lolipop , the heating issue was not that dominant with kitkat but I am facing a dominant heating issue with lollipop….

  • I love this phone…but my earpiece speaker is not working … What should i do now.. I can afford buying a new phone ..but this 1 i just love… Help me out if u guys hv any solution..

  • Is there any soft copy of download available please share the link & if yes how to update the yu by computer download copy or any other yu mobile

  • Dear Developers,

    List of major defects or bugs:

    If you are facing blank screen on calling a number on Yureka / one plus one Cyanogen Mod 12 or 11 os then dial the code *#*#7769#*#* ; you will see a proximity calibration screen, press start and wait untill the values are populated, press exit. Try calling a number again, your problem should be resolved by now.

    List of unresolved bugs:

    1. Contacts List does not give an option to display contacts ONLY FROM PHONE memory. It displays all phone memory contacts PLUS useless contacts from gmail account and other accounts etc etc making it difficult to navigate to desired name and number to call a person. Please note CM11 had an option to display contacts ONLY from phone but this option is missing in CM12.

    2. There is no option to Display Sim contacts in contact list. This option was neither available in CM11 nor its available in CM12. This option is available in stock android lollipop.

    3. The 12 hour time format doesn’t display AM or PM beside the time in status bar nor in the clock widget.
    Major bug in CM11 as well as CM12.
    PLEASE RECTIFY AS WE ARE NOT USED TO 24 HOUR TIME FORMAT.

    4. There is no way I can set the default WRITE DISK TO EXTERNAL STORAGE LIKE SD CARD. THIS OPTION WAS neither AVAILABLE IN CM11 NOR IN CM12. STOCK ANDROID HAS THIS OPTION.

    Best Regards,
    Gaurav

  • Hi friends,
    I have a solution for screen goes black while call
    please dial

    *#*#7769#*#*

    and after that click start, your problem will solved

  • I am using Micromax Yu Yureka.My call is disconnected frequently either it’s incoming or outgoing and during the call the screen gets blank.
    Can someone guide me to resolve the problem.

  • OMG!! I too face similar problems as mentioned above lik phone rebooting when i switch on wifi, heating issues, sometimes earphone port is not responding ….nd all….above all i’m waiting for lollipop…upgrade..

  • While taking shots, the screen flickered several times and went off. Screen returned only after 15 minutes. The mobile get heated evenwhile taking photos. Memory card and OTG are not recognized

  • Agreed with you brother, software is kinda incomplete, follow up on updates were screwed, promises were broken but more or less service was way too bogus or said way too horrible. Looks like some one didn’t know what they were getting into while starting the company (@Rahul.S). My recommendation don’t buy the phone now, just wait for company to establish properly, then buy its phone.

    • Agreed. When they started, I thought they’ll get some success just like how Xiaomi did. Yu got the sales, but they don’t know how to manage that, how to provide support and with every mobile device facing the proximity sensor issue, they didn’t even complete the basic quality testing and control on their phones.
      Xiaomi has expanded, improved and is doing pretty well now with abundance of accessories, service centers, spares and customer satisfaction. Maybe its just the difference of leadership. Short term vision vs long term.

  • Well I have faced just two problems that too for the first time though …its just 2 and half days old after keeping my phone for the first time on silent mode when I switched again to normal mode the speakers stopped responding and after rebooting its working fine now …..the yes just now I faced the restart for the first time after I downloaded and installed a music player from Google play and then but before the restart my Google music play app had stopped responding but after restart its working fine again please help

  • My phone is getting random rebooted when connected to WiFi ,my WiFi works maximum for 4 hours then WiFi stops and my phone reboots.I am observing this problem when I firstly setup my phone and connected to WiFi.Sometimes it also gets reboot even in 5 minutes when connected to WiFi.I have also tried Factory reset and then rebooting the phone in safe mode but the same problem is appearing again and again.I am frustrated by the phone till the first use due to this problem,except this everything is fine.
    I request you to please help me for this issue as it is becoming unbearable to me.

  • I got my yu yuerka mobile on 17th February 2015. When it is used continously for more than half an hour it use to get heated. But in the last week it almost stopped its funtioning. When switched on only the emblems ‘YU ‘ is coming.It goes on restarting again and again. The mobile gets so heated that we cannot take the set by hand.

    Now I have kept the set aside, and using my old phone.

  • I recently bought the phone and returned it now. Major issue I face is related to random restart and after analysis we found that it gets resets on WiFi and that too on company WiFi mostly.
    In my company almost everyone faces the same issue with Yureka.

    Second issue is poor quality of speakers.

    Thanks to Amazon I got my money back.

    • I am facing this exact issue of random restarts on WiFi & that too company WiFi. Is there a money back policy available? I bought the phone on 2nd April.

  • From last few days My phone was randomly restarting….I have done some research & found that whenever I try to connect to WiFi, it restarts.
    Second issue is with headphones, if call is going on and I try to connect or remove headphones, speaker gets on outomatically sometimes headphones never get connected till you restart the phone.

  • mic of the handset is really pathetic
    other person on ph alwys complaint abt voice drop

    my earlier ph was also of micromax
    n i thought company is coming with new collaboration
    n d ph will be gud bt micromax disappointed as always

    company worked hard on design bt not on basic features

    • Not even the design as it is just a rebranded device made by other OEM. I’d recommend selling it already while there is still some buzz about this phone.

  • Yah am facing some of the same probs… My mobile is just one week older the battery charge going down without using the phone. Within one hour 80 percentage of the battery charge was down..its really disappointed me any solutions frnds…

  • True.. Same issues in my mobile. Vibration not working on incoming call, speakers volume very low, camera quality like Samsungs 5MP camera, battery not good, operator signal capturing issue, accessories not working after 2 month from buy this mobile and i call on YU’s helpline number but after 1 minute call disconnected automatically.
    I am not happy with YU Yureka coz i know all about mobiles and who say “no issues in yureka” ?
    My suggestion for him please buy Toy mobile and play with him and than say ” I REALLY PLAY GOD”

  • hi guys! Please help me!!!
    I had recently purchased the yu yureka through the last flash sale in amazon on 26th march. got it delivered on the 31st. The charge was only 3 % when i switched it on in the evening at around 5:30 so put the phone on the charger given along with the box. The phone was heating up like hell while charging but i dint know what to do about it so left it at that.Went out for the evening and when i returned home i checked to see it was still charging and in 99%. Was pissed :/. Waited for some half and hour and then checked then it was charged till 100%. So i went on to insert my sim in the phone so again switched it off and removed the battery and all. Aft inserting and when i switched on the phone. The charge was oly 3 %!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Was about to cry :’(. Then left the phone and went on with my work and aft few mins saw the phone charge to be 15%. Man was i confused .. from then on the charge started “growing” and it went on to grow to 88 % aft which it started behaving normally i.e. discharging.
    This is my third day with the phone . it hasn’t happened again till now.
    My main dilemma here is whether to keep this phone or ask for a replacement from amazon.?
    I have until april 11th to go for the return option with amazon
    Pls suggest what should be done guys i really confused whether to keep this phone or go for the replacement option
    And i also have a doubt whether we can use a 2 amp output charger for yu yureka coz charging it with the given 1 amp o/p charger takes a hell lot of time( 3 to 3 n half hours!!!). i have my redmi note charger of 2 amp output . but have a doubt to use it coz in the back of the yu yureka battery its given “use yu specific charger”. So want to know what is best .
    Thank you in advance guys 

    • well karishma when it comes to charging, yureka is damn slow. Qualcomm has introduced their new charging method for the phones having Qualcomm Snapdragon chipsets including Snapdragon 615 (Which Yureka has). So, why don’t you check that, I think you’ll be the first to do that with Yureka! And its about 5 Amps, it will be a huge step forward if yureka supports a 5 Amps charger. What you think?

      I think if we can use Superchargers (2A above ) with Yureka, it surely is a great thing. When it comes to your dilemma of keeping the phone or asking for replacement, i think you should use the phone for few more days and if any serious problem arises and you are not satisfied with the overall experience with the yureka then go for a replacement.

      I hope i have answered your questions….thanks 🙂

    • Hey Kashmira
      Over here in the comments, I have seen quite many people having the same issue, but IDK what happened to their devices because barely anybody follows up after leaving comments. That said, some tech guys do call it a battery calibration bug which CAN BE fixed via a software update. As about whether or not to go for a refund/replacement, I’d leave that to you. If the issue is confusing you and ruining your sleep, I’d recommend going for a replacement as you shouldn’t be owning something that doesn’t give you peace of mind. And knowing that the service offered by Yureka is seriously not at par, I’d recommend going for a replacement as well. It doesn’t cost you anything, just a few days more of waiting and you’ll probably get a faultless devices which lives for at least an year.
      As about charger, every manufacturer advises to only use the original; charger supplied by them, but using another branded one would barely hurt. Besides the general saying that a high AMP charger reduces the overall life span of the battery cells, I don’t see any other reason why you shouldn’t charge it with the 2amp (branded) charger. I used to charge mine (until I sold it) with a 2Amp charger as well because the original is too slow. Charged fine for the time I owned it.

      • Hey Narender, Thanks for your valuable reviews and answers. I really appreciate you.
        I also bought YU YUREKA and start facing random reboot problems, heating issue and proximity sensor issue. from the very first day.
        I already raise a query for replacement. should i baught another YUREKA piece or go for another brand, Like moto and ASUS.
        Reply soon.. Thanks in advance.

        • All I’d say is that I’ve sold my Yureka and am waiting for the Zenfone 2. That said, I just always keep on switching to newer devices, so that doesn’t really apply entirely to the issues with Yureka.
          That said, I love devices which give me peace of mind and I’ll just dump the others. Proximity sensor issue is more likely a hardware issue and they might be able to increase its sensitivity via an update, but I don’t think that’ll be enough to cure a hardware issue.

      • Use 3 Amp. Charger it will take just 30 min to charge your YU from 0% to 100%. And don’t worry it is safe also. YU supports (quick charge 2.0)

    • Why would they provide update to just 1 person? Don’t make enough sense. But lets keep our fingers crossed :))

      • Plllsss anyone suggest me the earphone problem solution my earpiece speaker stops working…what should i do?

  • Bewakoof bane ka Kaam hai is week me lollipops hojayega to problems solved hojayega check karke nahen dete hai kiya do mobile return karchoka ek me hitting problems or sensor calling time khatam wapas bhi nahen hoga yureka bekar 3 magao to sahi Nikallta hai dus din number lagao to milpata uske bad problems hi problem

  • I didn’t face any of the above issue other then loudspeaker. loudspeaker is not quite good and proximity sensor is also little bit irritating at some point, phone was heating and the battery was draining fast in the first week i purchased yureka but now its fine everything is good now

  • hi all,
    i am facing some issue on my Yureka mobile from last few days. As i tried to call the customer care also but the phone number is not working it seems. As suddenly while chatting in whats-up my mobile phone was restarted twice to thrice time automatically this is issue. And one more major issue when i am taking to some one and i want to disconnect the call from sleep mode.For that i press the power button untill i wont get the screen its remain black. how to solve this problem. As i just took this phone on last month 24 feb.. from amazon. Should i return this phone to amazon as there is no replacement for this phone.

  • I bought the phone,

    The phone replacement for the Pirated software is very slow and the customer service is also very weak, unknowledgeable people..

    Waste of buying the phone, irritated.

  • Please if u didn’t used it don’t put all this shit…!!! It is all false… IT IS THE BEST MOBILE I RECOMMEND … I HAVE USED S5 NOTE 3 all gets a bit heat… Use it and talk …!! The heating is due to octacore processor which get heated when background process are running!!!!

    • I have used it and I agree on most of those points. You gotta read that I did mention it having a powerful processor and hence will generate heat. However, because users complain about it in huge numbers, I was needed to include it as a valid issue.
