So far, I haven't seen any progress in heat reduction. In fact, it used to be in the upper 20s now the lowest I get is 31!

[Lenovo K900] Chris_K900:
Seems to somewhat device specific, mine never gets hot unless I play games. I noticed however that just having ebay´s landing page open in chrome leads to significant battery drain and a warm phone, maybe because of all the animated ads.

ROW 922 is doing a little better on battery. I get a little over an hour on 1% battery standby time. Using gsam to monitor battery drain. Previous rom was a little under an hour on 1% standby. I have wifi enable but sync turned off for email, chrome, g+, and google drive.

the camera problem cannot connect to the camera [SOLVED]

So... This is what I personally experienced. As suggested by all of the masters here, I went to the service center and claim my waranty. At the first place ia am not so sure with the service center because it is so small and there is only one costumer care in front of the door. However, I gave them the device to be repaired and they say that they would check it and called me if the device is ready to be carried. I at the first place did not expec that it would be finished so quick. I mean by quick here since the problem is on the spare part. Amazingly, they made it in 14 work days or approximately only 3 weeks. So, why I post this? Because I want to suggest those who have same problem don't hesitate to claim your warranty and be patient to be serviced. I am from Bandung Indonesia and they even don't have an official service center from exactly lenovo but they make some cooperation with comtech. Thanks for the helps of the developers by the way

well, I also have Sony Ericsson Neo V and it used to give more than 1 day of battery backup with everything turned on(no games) specially auto sync which I really miss n my Lenovo K900.... I really like the display of k900 but what is the use of mobile if we don't even get a decent battery life.

I must accept that this mobile is a head turner and many of my friends assumed it as Sony z n first glance...

Battery drain is the only problem that I don't like and will do anything to solve the problem....

Tried greenify and result was good enough but can't we expect more from a high end mobile having 2500 battery power.....
[Lenovo K900] mikey199:
You could turn screen brightness down. That's the major drain since the display is so big.

[Lenovo K900] Chris_K900:
I can not confirm the battery being weak, I still get ~ 3 days with sleep mode turned on during night time. I have three mail accounts, use whats app and from time to time browse the internet, no games though, Lenovo power manager estimates 70-95 hrs of standby running latest ROW rom rooted + Helium Script.

I´d suggest to wipe the device and install a stock rom via MFT, then add your apps one by one to find out what´s having such an impact on your battery life.
[Lenovo K900] Samyk900:
I never tried installing stock rom via MFT but instead of MFT i used SDFUSE method. Is there any performance difference between both of them.

One more thing I noticed in my phone is 3G signal fluctuates any I feel it could also be a reason for the battery drainage.
[Lenovo K900] dimedevil:
that could be your problem... because I always got 14-16 hours battery life a day... just try using 2G for a day and note your battery life...
[Lenovo K900] gn0s1s:
Dont use the native browser. I use boat mini browser (tested chrome, opera, opera mini, dolphin, dolphin mini, ninesky, baidu, stock) . Essentially its the hardware acceleration used by these browsers that kill the battery life i have found. Opera mini is supposed to only use cpu as well, but ifound it drained as badly as full version. After that, and greenifying the supercamera and gallery (select gallery app) and replacing it with ics gallery (or another of your choice) i can get a full day easily with about 4 hours of screen on time, and browsing / twitter use. I use Lux for brightness management, and use the camera instead of ambient light sensor as it had issues, with detection. After these mods it runs fairly well. Doesnt compete with my note 2 in battery life, but it lasts long enough for my purposes and looks ten times better. :cyclops:

[Lenovo K900] Samyk900:
Well, as of now ROW 922 is not rooted but you can install rooted 822 and then update it to ROW 922.

Only thing you need to do is to take the backup of the root(superuser) using application ANDROID ROOT TOOLKIT when you are on 822 and after that do the restoration after installing 922. Hope this info helps.

I believe that [MENTION=341931]prie07[/MENTION] has the rooted 922 rom.... just ask him about it.... but if you still on 822 root, just do the ART save root feature

[Lenovo K900] Juice84man:
I have the same problem. I don't want to flash 822 and install all apps again.

It is weird, because after flashing 822 and update to 922 restoring root wasn't problem. But after few days of usage I realized that ROOT is lost.
[Lenovo K900] dimedevil:

dpi change

Hi all,

I really hope someone could help me. I am quite happy with my K900 (running 922 rooted) but I would really love to (need to) change the dpi in order to have a less huge UI (I am not that old yet ;) ). The only app which is able to achieve this for me is resolution changer pro, however some apps are messed up after changing the resolution. This is not a problem for most of them but a real deal breaker for the keyboards which are not usable anymore (stock, touchpal, swiftkey ... always the same). Changing the dpi in the build.prop does not have any effect at all so this is not option.

Anyone here who knows how to solve this?

Thanks a lot!

p.s.: do you think there is any chance to get a stock AOSP Rom anytime soon (before christmas)? This would be the perfect solution as the most annoying thing to me is the ugly Lenovo UI ;-(

Flash other version, but with the MFT method

Thanks... and ... Farewell

i thanked you to all the fellas here who have helped answers my questions,,, still not getting the game killer and game cih or any similar applications to work on the phone... however i did not need them anymore since i replaced the lenovo with another device... what i am experiencing again is that the intel processor inside the device is not capable of emulating the nintendo ds with aplication called drastic,,, i am so dissapointed at this point because even with my mid entry phone which has a quad core 1.2 ghz (i forgot the manufacturer) and 1 gb of RAM the emulation process was smooth enough rather than in my lenovo which has lots of laggy frame and i could not stand for it. However, i found it is really great to play game such us Dungeon Hunter 4 with big screen and some mini lags in very high resolution which even no bother you to play this game... i love the design too.... it is more masculine. Anyway, right now gotta go to another thread to find something more interesting about my new device... Thank you so much everyone.

do you use password on your wifi? maybe you were wrong at entering the password needed. Never had this kind of problem. Try to make the wifi open (not protected with password) and try to connect again. Also dont forget to forget the previous named wifi inside your device and reconnect again. Hope it helps you.

Unable to connect to camera

Hi Everyone,

I have just purchased a K900 a few weeks ago, everything seems to be good until the camera started to crash and I can no longer use it.

It says "unable to connect to camera". Whichever app I use, the same error appears.

I tried downgrading the ROM to (well it's actually long digits) an older one -it worked then after the app updates kicked in it failed to work again. I think there's some conflict with the camera app and other apps but I can't figure it out. Every apps I installed does not use the camera aside from instagram. But after I downgraded (reflashed) the ROM, Instagram was already installed before the camera failed.

I can't really single out which app causes the conflict or rather if there are other apps causing the camera to fail. Is this just a problem with android permissions? as I read it on other threads or is it something else?

Any help or insights would be much appreciated :confused: :cool:

OK, I see. ROW_LA is the 822 ROM, which was found on some Russian site a while back and had a few issues, if I remember.

So, there is nothing newer than 727 as far as official ROW ROMs go, right? That's why I am not getting any OTA updates.

If Lenovo drops official support for this phone so fast, it will be both disappointing and be probably my last Lenovo product.

Hi friend!

Could you tell me, which post did you follow to do that?
[Lenovo K900] Chris_K900:
Not at all. How did you update ? If you updated system.img.gz only, then it´s mandatory to wipe the cache partition or at least clear the cache of the lenovo power manager.

I cam from 822 ot 922 via sdupdate of system img.gz only, and found the device eating up the battery while getting pretty hot. Clearing caches did the trick, phone is speedy, and 922 is even better than 822 in terms of battery life.

I´d recommend to let the Helium script opitimze a few parameters. Makes the UI really fast.

But still I am missing a K900 with dual sim support (as seen at the CES). This will be the reason I am moving to a new device as soon as the MTK6592 are available. Too sad Lenovo isn´t more conscious of customer needs - a brilliant phone without scard slot .. that´s a bit like a Ferrari with a 20 litre fuel tank ... :good::good::good:
