trying to download the 727 OTA update (on my second attempt, as the previous finished and then did nothing...) but the download is extremely, extremely slow. it's taken over two hours to get to 75% on a very fast wifi connection. is anyone else experiencing the utter lack of speed with OTA updates from lenovo?

---------- Post added at 11:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:52 AM ----------

oh look, it's done it again. :rolleyes: i've now spent probably 6 hours downloading and redownloading this stupid update, only to then have it sit there on 100% saying 'downloading'.

is there a better way to get this update without rooting? does anyone have the file so i can just run a /sfduse/ update??? thanks
[Lenovo K900] a2h2hemingway:
I have no idea about that... In my country the lenovo service center's phone number even couldnt be reached... It is silly... I wanted to send back my k900 to the sc but considering some other things ... I am not sure anymore to send this device back... So i just keep it in my hand for awhile... I read some articles about sending back devices and services... They said that it is always taking a lot of time to do that... Just be patient dude...

thanks - i have a copy of that, but i'm not sure what i'm looking at. doesn't the updater need an inb file or something? i don't particularly want to root, or get third party flashing software.
[Lenovo K900] bobr76:
Still not convincing me, too much chinese leftovers in those chinese roms :).

IMO ROW is always behind due to all Google certification process needed for every ROW version of ROM. Chinses ROMs are not certified that's why they are hitting market faster.

I'm now on 822 ROW and really happy with battery life, much better than previous ROMs. Speed is more or less same.

Hey just give a mail to midhcare@lenovo.com, they will assist you. Anyway I have the K900 and have the problem with BSNL 3G network, no matter whatever I try it did not register to BSNL 3G network, only 2G network is accsessible where as other opertors like Airtel, idea 3G all working fine but when I use BSNL 3G and switched to GSM only to WCDMA Only option, no network ( in system status it shows 65% network but network type unknown) so in the tower column no network. Have you tried BSNL Sim in this K900.

Hey guys, can you tell me pls where can I buy cheaper K900 with international sending.. I know that in India shop have the lowest price but I have not found any webshop that sends it to Europe.

Thanks
[Lenovo K900] rajivmishra13:
You can buy it from ebay.in.....

They do not have a paypal but paisapay which is a version of their paypal. Some other solution?
[Lenovo K900] bulanula:
Is your phone rooted ?

Only as root you can access "dmesg" log to see kernel messages.

If it is rooted then try running "su" before doing "dmesg" so you have root priviledges and get output.

Many thanks for trying to help ! I am really curious what wireless chip it has so I would be very grateful if we can work this out !

[Lenovo K900] bulanula:
Amazing ! Thanks so much man.

I can confirm the K900 has the Broadcom 4330 chip inside.

Does the K900 have easily removable battery also ?

What version do you have ( China or International ) ?
[Lenovo K900] QuBeX:
I have 727 international.

To remove the battery you need a sucker in order to pull off the screen. That is because it is unibody. There are 4 screws but you need a special tool which is not in the shops

difference between stock and 727

Thanks! Downloading that right now! I also have stock rom with playstore and gapps. Did you lose anything after updating? any performance improvements? Do you recommend rooting, as we already have playstore in India. I wanted to root mainly for CIFS partition mounting but seems there is no CIFS.KO yet for K900.

Thks guys I finally managed to root 727 but not without some issues

funny is i could run the script for graphics in root but other programs can't detect or run in root, apps like screen recorders all doesn't detect the root. doing root check says its rooted but the apps can't run as they say its not. had those working with other non- intel phones maybe its security is more ? anyone experience this?

updated everything looks ok but still having problem screen recorder & other apps says no root ! dam funny....:crying:

Many people here found my root method working for all ROM versions I rooted. So it's something on your phone.

Friends, Since 2 days I am using Lenovo k900 version ROW 727(INDIA). Can anyone tell me how to root. The link provided is not working for me.One thing I have noticed is that Battery drains very fast and I get only 8-9 hours of Endurance if I activate Smart Endurance in Lenovo power settings.

needless to say but I feel Super camera and Super gallery is responsible for making the device HOT. As previously someone mentioned that his mobile battery is also draining fast like 1% / minute and just scrolling up and down is draining the battery and I really don't know what to do.

Is my device faulty or u all are facing the same type of problem?
[Lenovo K900] gn0s1s:
I had the same issue with super camera/ gallery. I used greenify app to hibernate them, and used gallery ics for picture browsing. Solved that drain. I also found that web browsing superheats the phone as well. If your using a browser that uses graphics card acceleration i found battery life and cpu temps went way up. Opera mini and Boat mini seem to only use cpu rendering so battery life is fairly decent with them. Opera, Firefox, Chrome, Dolphin all heated my device and killed battery. Check your brightness settings as well, and use the lenovo power app to make sure things are sleeping properly. I d check cpu spy and see what clock speeds your processors are running at , and if they are even sleeping.

hope that helps a bit.

Hey guys !

i think my K900 just died :crying:

from beginning i was experiencing issue with the wifi who worked whenever it wanted ,

tought it was firmware issue.

then this week i had my phone rebooting for no reason.

ten minutes ago my phone shutdown without rebooting.

i tried to get it back on any way possible but nothing just black screen even when i plugged it .

even tried MFT but nothing.

i think it's really dead.

bought it from ibuygou.com less than two months ago.

should i contact them or lenovo. ?

( i'm from europe shipping it back to china is going to be a pain ..... )
[Lenovo K900] Sw33t_Lov3r:
Lenovo needs to improve they aftersales support, badly.

Hey! Sorry yo hear that!

You should contact Lenovo directly, I think. Sellers contact the makers to get warranty for the things they sell, anyway.

I'd advice you to write your complain on the Lenovo Facebook page, where everyone will see it.

This will make Lenovo improve their products as well as their support (after sales services, warranty coverage, etc).

It will get you help faster too. Just complain like you were quite mad. n.n

And don't forget to say:

"I need a solution within next week. I'm contacting you Lenovo directly because I don't

want to waste my time contacting an unqualified customer care representative like many others have done FOR WEEKS!

I need a solution the soonest. I bought this device legitimately and now it doesn't work at all. I want a replacement,

and don't expect I'm paying the shipping of this malfunctioning unit. Please help your loyal customers. I need a reply now."

I've read many complaints about the after service support in several different countries, so she/he will know what you're talking about.

They, normally, will help you faster this way n.n And if you don't receive a reply, insist. You can call them too,

just to make sure what's the procedure in this case, but insist in that they have to take care of the replacement, not the seller.

As much as I wanted to stick with Intel because of the good experience I'm having with my Motorola Razr i,

I decided not to get the K900 after all. It has a beautiful design and potential, but some issues here and there...

and not a -very- good after sales service from Lenovo (anyone says otherwise? Maybe)...

I'm getting a Note 3 (real octacore one? For Peru = no LTE), Xperia Z1 (it will arrive in a couple of months)

or a Xperia Z Ultra (this would make a nice couple with my Razr i, but don't know when it'll arrive) n.n

Ok, I hope you get the help you need.

Hello,

Will this method work on other Intel devices, such as the ZTE Geek. I bought one of these and had very little to no success in installing Google Apps or rooting the device for that matter. Recovery isn't flashing anything other thanstock update.zip files and gapps apks are constantly force closing. The best state I could get on Google Play was "Unable to connect" error message.

No fc with 903 while i had it for 2 full days of use.

OK finally worked!...ALL OF IT !

Thanks! will try it out.

EDIT: Could follow the guide you made (even though in Indonesian..g..very good!)

only thing..should one start with the 827 unrooted ? (also have 827 rooted sdfuse system.img.gz) thx

EDIT2: get flashing error after 827 unrooted (flash from sdfuse the system.img.gz extracted from your file). Or should i be on 0903 first? (ota network is down now)

will try put the aota 0903 zip directly and flash using the update method you put in post 1163

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=45397086&postcount=1163

EDIT3 got to 0903 using method in post 1163 but the new 0903 rooted system.img.gz does not flash (failed..says some bad file cannot restore fastboot..

but post 1163 is way easy..got back to 0903 (as when flash failed it does not boot)

EDIT4: So my guessing of Indonesian was not good....lol

this translated line..Copy all files that are in the rom files extract to a folder in usb storage sdfuse

(ALL files..i put only system.img..ok trying again)...SUCCESS! now to the google apps stuff

EDIT5: Gmail working no fcs...play working...downloaded paid apps...updated apps...all good !

oh i'm happy to hear that :), actually you can flash from whatever ROM, and with very easy step, even for beginner just copy all extracted ROM file to sdfuse folder on usb storage & do a SDUPDATE process :D, everything runs good, but some chinese character/letter will show on several apps, like contact & your home screen, cause the launcher, some application still can't work maybe about the compability problem, Helium Script cannot run, cause it's different directory structure with 4.2.1, you can fix if you edit the path on that script :) but overall is fast rom, with vellamo & quadrant score increase significantly, but antutu still same score around 21.000...

cause your indonesian is very good, can you help to translate to english ;)

[Lenovo K900] mac231us:
think it does not matter what you have to begin with...first go to post 1163 and download 0903..you have to put entire downloaded zip (NOT unzipped) in some folder or root of storage (not in sdfuse as it will not come up in list for flashing) and do the recovery then update method as in post 1163 (link below)

then boot etc setup if you want (you will have 0903 unrooted)

then follow instructions in 1254

you have to put zip contents not the zip but individual files..all of them from K900_1_S_2_019_0113_130903_DVT3_CPUsign_root zip file (unzip etc) into sdfuse...then do the usual sdfuse update (note that the aota stuff above in post 1163 uses recovery from the reboot droidboot recovery sdfuse poweroff menu that you see after doing the volume up power press to get to recovery)
