Echo Problem on my Lenovo k860

Dear all,

Thank you for giving all this great and clear information.

First I would like to tell you to put the downloaded rom (any) in your external SD in a folder named: sdfuse. Otherwise, your phone will not recognize the rom to install.

I have found a particular big problem when using this phone: the other party is experiencing, without any exceptions, a serious echo. I have tried it myself, and it was very irritating. I used the custom rom (Android 4.04 with Google Apps), then I thought it could be a software-related issue. I downloaded the CM10 v2.0 (Android 4.12) and the echo is still there.

I only saw one other person on a completely different forum complaining about this issue, does anyone here also face that issue, or has a solution? The phone is great, really fast works like a charm, but that echo problem makes it unusable for calling....

Thanks if anyone can bring up a solution!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] amoyan:
Works great for me. I don't have any echo issues. Sometimes that is a network issue.

ROM

Hi, are you using ROM with android 4.1.2 CM10 v2.0? Is your phone fast? I am really confused, I have this rom and its really unstable and laggy. What I need is pure, fast, english and 4.1 android phone. Still dont know what ROM to chose... :/ Pls help

Its like using 1 CPU 500 mhz android phone... :(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] karLcx:
agreed, and it's unfortunate. hopefully a new version of cm10 will come out soon, or also hopefully soon lenovo will release the ROW jellybean rom. hopefully soon!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tensa:
Hi everyone.Is there some K860i users here ? is the K860i on 4.1 by default ?

I have read some posts on lenovo k860i forum ( thanks google translate :p) and it seems there is some probems with it.

Someone can confirm this or just give some feedback regarding the phone.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chepito1983:
Hi, I have a k860i from just a 10 days and when I got the phone, there was 4.0.4, so i did the upgrade to 4.1.2 OTA. Until now,I haven't any problem with this phone, it seems very good smartphone, fast, display is very good, battery is strong and the lenovo ui(derivated from miui) is

very fast and user-friendly, it seems a beast-phone. the only problem if I may say so, is the play store( and all gapps), there isn't, but lenovo store is very complete. But hopefully lenovo will release the ROW rom 4.1.2 as soon.Sorry for my bad english:cyclops:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] amoyan:
What is the version. Similar to the 860 ? I.e. 0345 121228
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chepito1983:
I don't know if you mean this, the version is : Internal version number K860i_1_S_2_002_0123_121228.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fetta88:
Hi guys,

I have to buy a new smartphone and my girlfriend will go in China next month so i ask her to buy there my new phone.

I've read a lot of articles about K860 and i want to know if it is really a good phone for that cheap price.

It is my first choice!

Do you recommend it to me?

Thanks (sorry for my bad english, but i'm italian :o )
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vladog8:
Hi, if it helps I wouldn't change this phone for any other in the world, its big, its fast, great camera, strong baterry, quality design in one word -awsome-

:) cheers :beer:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] amoyan:
Some perspective. This smartphone is very similar hardware spec to Note 2 ... including a very capable 5" display. I started looking around at the shops ... most of them are S720 .. S880 then recently S890. K860's display is the best of all. And if you need compass then go for the K860i which also has 2GB of RAM(the 860 has 1GB). My opinion is the compass is normally not used a lot so the 2GB RAM is the more important criteria. With 2GB, browser works better because some web sites are rather big in terms of memory usage. Other than that, 1GB works OK. I have a K860 and at this price point, this is one to get. Nothing come close. Basically you are getting S3 hardware with 5" display. Slight disadvantage is the software side if you need the European languages ... but I guess you could get by with some keyboard app with the right Latin character set and using English menu.

It is also not so easy to buy K860 from the shops, so if you need help just send me a PM.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] karLcx:
as with any phone there are a few bugs, and a non-chinese user will miss google services, so be prepared to root and reflash a different rom (you're going to struggle finding a stable rom in italian) - but the hardware is pretty good value. if you're an advanced user, this is a good value choice built with quality. if you can wait for the k860i or the newly announced k900, that might be good too.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fetta88:
I don't understand if i need to root and reflash the phone in any case or only if I want the italian language! :eek:

Sorry but I'm not expert in Android (at the same time i root and reflash my Nokia 5800 if it is similar :confused:)

Thanks!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] saturn_frak:
got my hands on K860 - after my broken HTC ONE X it is:

1. bigger

2. heavier

3. Chinese bloatware and no Googleware

But after playing with it for a couple of hours it seems that:

1. big is good - you see everything clear

2. heavy is also good - it sits in the hand just right (and not slippery like my htc one x used to) - I like the rounded buttons, the steel-like line on the perimeter and the rough back of it (also making it sit in the hand just right)

3. I solved the Chinese problem by flashing the overseas firmware (after rooting and trying to install market manually)

Overall very good phone - will get K860i for sure - and hope that the overseas firmware will go out soon (I played with my co-worked device).

And for the Italian guy above my post - for getting all the Google apps and getting rid of the Chinese bloatware you will need to flash for overseas firmware...

The phone by default comes with firmware that have English (and support intentional languages so you'll be able to write and read).

Anyway...even after the overseas firmware flash there is no Italian interface.

Hope helped

P.S

it seems that the keys is not hardware...so it might be possible disabling them when watching something (Youtube/movie/or just browsing).

[Miscellaneous Android Development] fetta88:
Thanks a lot for your answer! English language isn't a problem (I understand all, I only can't write :laugh:)! My question was for the apps and you have already answered me :victory:! Because I read that was impossible to install google play store, facebook and youtube..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tensa:
great price :good:

I wish i could buy it.

It's little bit expensive when you buy it from online shops.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] karLcx:
if you're not comfortable rooting and reflashing roms, this might not be the right phone for you. unless you buy it from the philippines or somewhere likely to have the ROW rom already installed by default.

totally agree about size and weight being a good thing. i picked up my old sony phone and almost dropped it because it was so light. the weight also reminds me to put on a belt before i leave the house if the phone is in my pocket! :victory:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vladog8:
you can eaven install google play without flashing, but download ROW rom, flash the phone and in 5 minutes u have phone clear like it never had chines apps, and already google play installed ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] karLcx:
not impossible at all. if you flash the lenovo ROW rom, you'll have google services and play store apps work perfectly.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fetta88:
Thanks you a lot! I hope i'll find this phone in China! Then i'll write back for some help :laugh:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vladog8:
i didnt say it is impossible, italian guy did, i already flashed my k860. i said that even if u dont flash it u can make google play work

My K860i just arrived. Immediately after turning on i was prompted to download update to 4.1.2.

After update i tryied Antutu Benchmark and it give me 17189 points.. not bad :)

No Google Play installed but there are many apps on AppBrain and Lenovo Store. After signing up to gmail account i could sync phone with it so i got all my contacts..

No echo issue or other problem founded yet.

And anti eavesdropping protection during call is funny :laugh:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] peane:
Omg its amazing!!!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] karLcx:
no root required??

here's something interesting.

when i updated to a previous ROW rom, i did root my k860 (confirmed with root checker). checked root access again after flashing, and root access was gone - which i had expected. the thing is, i forgot to root again before flashing this new russian lenovo forum ROW rom, and it still flashed ok and updated me to the new rom. i'm wondering how this is possible?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] amoyan:
Why not ? ... I think this rom is legit so no rooting required to update ... all that CWM must be getting you confused :)

Fwiw, I think this is not much diff from version 113 ROW in the app side .. the camera is still the same version 8458 which has the misspelled Dispaly prompt. The recently OTAed 4.1.2 has this fixed. The main diff is probably baseband and addition of other ROW languages where they market this phone.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] karLcx:
my update was from the older ROW 79 to 172, so a little more worthwhile and a few bugs fixed that i've noticed. but good news about rooting and official roms. makes sense, not sure why it didn't occur to me before :)

[Miscellaneous Android Development] canteo:
Hi, i'm waiting my k860i, is good to know that, if you want to install apk's you need to leave the apk's in your microsd and later with root explorer for example, you look for them and you select one by one and you choose to install, that's how i use to do it but i don't know if it will works with this device...

Sorry for my english jejeje...

Edit: if you have a recovery like cwm, you can look for gapps jelly bean and install it...

[Miscellaneous Android Development] karLcx:
that's basically it. not just the apks, though. there are a few other things you need to put in the correct folders and ensure the read write execute permissions are correct (there are a few videos on youtube demonstrating this).

but even if you get it working though localisation settings might mean you get a lot of 'this handset is incompatible with this app' messages on google play. you'd be better off waiting for the lenovo ROW rom which in the k860 solved this problem for me.

I'm trying to get a CM10 device repository up based on CM/TeamHacksung's Galaxy S3 (I9300) device repos, since the devices share the same SoC.

At the moment I'm trying to get recovery to compile and run on a precompiled kernel I took from Lenovo's latest Android 4.1 OTA.

Recovery itself appears to work fine; I've managed to do a nandroid backup using the recovery I built (while blind). However I can't get it to display anything onscreen; I just get a blank screen.

Hi,

I just have my K860i, upgrade to 4.1.2 and rooted. But I can not add Google store, I do like this: download the Play Store for android 4.1, locate it in system/app then set permissions RW/R/R then reboot. But when I get into the app, it crash (or something) and get back to home screen. Any helps, thanks

By the ways, I can not dial *101# , it shows "USSD code running..." and nothing else. Any one has this problem and how to fix it? Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] amoyan:
Re: [ROOT][ROM's] Lenovo IdeaPhone (LePhone) K860 root

[Miscellaneous Android Development] ivantastic:
try this :o

download latest playstore HERE

download GApps HERE

(ROOTED REQUIRED)

1.extracting downloaded gapss's files and place all the contain folders to : system/app into your sdcard

2.use file explorer app (es explorer or root explorer), tap menu->settings->find ROOT setting-> checklist them all -> choose allow to all

3.back toROOT location ("/"), find system folder -> replace/add/paste all downloaded GApps's folder

4. matching the PERMISSION by tap to permission's option and set as R/R/R (READ)

5. Reboot

*i think this steps will work to all devices (but maybe there's diff. in permission)

you will can't use ussd/mmi code's command since the ROM is specifically build for local provider there (china)

hope it'll work to you

Re: [ROOT][ROM's] Lenovo IdeaPhone (LePhone) K860 root

I have not problem with installing GMaps using other methods. Just pointing out that the China build has something turned off so when Play Store check it says GMaps is not compatible. But the same apk will install and run albeit with it asking for Location Source to be turned on. This means it is not recognising WiFi and CellID as Location Sources. ...

apps with 'Your device isn't compatible with this version' in Play Store

-G Maps

-Whatsapp

-Runtastic

...

perhaps its due to in-apps purchases and location source etc .. but TBD. Anyone has any ideas ?
