I've had a Lenovo K900 for a few days now, love it, however one thing that is frustrating me about this phone is the lack of development!!!!

Surely there is a demand for developers, to work on one of the first x86 based phones? i thought it would be a great challenge!

would also help if we had our own section on XDA, can everyone who reads this PLEASE got to the following thread and suggest the mods add a Lenovo K900 section!!!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1660354

i would also love to see an AOSP/Google Edition based ROM with all the bloatware stripped out.....
[Lenovo K900] IceGoal:
Unfortunately I'm in California won't be able to get any helps here. And you are correct, it's bricked, no responses whatsoever. I contacted Aliexpress where I bought the phone from hopefully will be able to get a replacement unit but that's going to take a long time.
[Lenovo K900] rishi2100:
opinion please

Guys... i have this phone for about 15 days with me, purchased from a local store in India, (Delhi)

Problem is that there is a small noticeable DOT in middle of a glass display (not lcd but the gorilla glass) as in picture.

Yes, there is slight disturbance when using the phone as now i know that it is there, please tell me whether i should take it to the service center or just deal with it... i mean will they exchange my phone with a new one or all my troubles will go in vain...

And also i don't know whether there customer service is good or not???

need opinion

thanks

Hey mate,

that is a HUGE dot.......get the phone or LCD replaced......thats not fair you have a new phone with a dot THAT big!!!!

and a big thanks for everyone for voting on the Lenovo K900 subforum.......5 requests on the one page has gotta get the mods attention!

I think the Snapdragon 800 will be a little bit faster than the current Intel Atom, but then again, its not out for at least a few months. You might as well get a phone now and be happy or else you'll always be waiting for the 'next SoC' to come out.

After Snapdragon 800, Intel will get SERIOUS about mobile SoC and release a quad core monster called Merrifield/Silvermont.......my point is....there's always something around the corner!!!
[Lenovo K900] ashwin123:
Mine had it too... this is what i did... go to lenovo website... find your closest service center... take the phone in... insist they give you a DOA (Dead on Arrival) letter... they will want to fix it... yell, abuse, do what it takes... as long as its less than 7 days since billing they are required to give a DOA... make sure you take your bill box and all accessories with you... once you get the DOA you can give it to the shop you bought it from and get a new one... hope that helps

[Lenovo K900] Rdmkr:
does anyone have ideas on why the K900's Quadrant score is so low compared to other benchmark scores? HTC One scores about two times as high as the K900, while it has similar scores to it on the revised antutu benchmark.

Linpack scores for the K900 are disappointing as well.

is it possible there is a compatibility problem between Intel Atom and Quadrant like there was between Antutu and Intel, but this time working to the K900's disadvantage?

I haven't been able to find the K900's scores for each part of the quadrant test, does anyone know them?

Are linpack and quadrant older benchmarks or are they more or less up to date technology wise?

ps. asking as someone who has ordered but not yet received his K900.
[Lenovo K900] mikey199:
The sd read write scores are so low they bring the rest of the score down. Not sure why doesn't seem any slower than my galaxy s 3. But yeah sd scores are bad. Probably just the way the intel x86 compiler works though cause this phone is fast!

Any idea what is causing this? Once it fully flashes, it will boot up to the last Lenovo flash screen before the phone freezes, and the reboots start all over.

k900 & LUX

Had my k900 for about a week, everything working like a charm so far, on ROW 727 rom, rooted. The only issue i seem to have is with the ambient light sensor and lux. Lenovo power manager will set auto brightness, but i find the stock settings too bright in terms of battery saving, especially in dim light. I have paid version on LUX app, and want to set back light below 0% for improved battery. The issue i have is the Light sensor fluctuates between 0lx and 10000lx with no stepping in between. And goes a bit haywire. It worked breifly when i first installed, but has since gone sideways. I have done a factory reset, and installed apps one by one to find out if something is interfering but havent been able to isolate anything yet.

Anyone else here use LUX and if so any problems.

Cheers.

unable to connect to camera

i am so sorry... could anyone help me?

i have a problem with my k900. i rooted it after i bought it 3 or 4 days ago. i dunno what happened but after i flash the ROm with the ROMs in the first page (including the Chinese version) i could not connect to the camera. i did not drop the device or break it. I just did the root method as mentioned in the first page. I did the reflash method with the eastern Europe ROM and with the Southeast-asian ROM but no luck. I also have checked the permission but the permission allowed the super camera aplication to use the camera. I could use the super gallery application but not with the super camera and the flashlight applications. What should i do? anyone here could suggest me a fix for my problem? Help meeee!!!
