But then I'll need a Widi compatible TV/monitor, right? :confused: Sadly, I have none and mhl compliance is a great plus for me :crying:

Have anyone tried using MHL to hdmi adapter with their K900?

Charging issue after 0727 update

No change in charging times after 0727 update for me.

Only additions & omissions are:

Removed:

Option for Animation & other settings for Magic Weather has been removed.

Added:

Knock to Light feature added but works only when knocking twice on the lower central part of the display where the default lock screen buttons are located.

Other issues persist.

Cheers
[Lenovo K900] bobr76:
Ok you got my curiosity :). Looks interesting and I see some unknown ROM version on the pictures. Maybe it's some custom version or something which is about to get online soon. Either way there's no way of knowing if it's real. You will need to take a risk, or not :D

Edit: just found remaining numbers of this rom from the sellers web site. It's very old rom K900_1_S_2_009_0117_130417 and it does not have google apps. Yes it has much more languages but as I said it's not latest version and lacks of Google apps.

It sounded too good to be true :).

Call drop issue

I am facing Call Drop issues on every call, incoming & outgoing. Call drops randomly, no fixed time limit.

Lenovo says k900 is mhl and otg compliant.

I was wondering why mods doesn't make a sub forum for k900?
[Lenovo K900] bobr76:
Someone wrote to admins to open a subforum but nothing happened. Yeah it would be much easier to have separate topics.

Lenovo Launcher

Sorry, noob question. How did you uninstall Lenovo Launcher?
[Lenovo K900] trungduc5151:
install root rom. use Root explorer --> system --> app -- > find and delete lenovolauncher and every app that you want.

Make sure you know what you are doing. Do it as your risk, you may get bootloop if any wrong action at this section

1. try another SIM Card (if your SIM is too old or cut SIM)

2. try another supplier

3. make phonecall at another place ( at company ....)

4. install original rom and replace another cellphone, maybe it is hardware problem

i have tried all of rom avaible and didn't face it
[Lenovo K900] omegamale:
Thank you indeed for your advice, I will try your suggestions right away.

I cut the SIM myself as the micro SIM was taking long to arrive from the company, maybe thats an issue.

I updated to firmware 0727, data is intact but custom settings affected.

Could determine only 2 changes after update.

Removed: Option for Animation & other settings for Magic Weather are missing.

Added: Knock to Light feature added but works only when knocking twice on the lower central part of the display where the default lock screen buttons are located.

Dint find any performance improvement or degradation.

Other existing issues faced with my K900 apart from Call drop on every other call.

1) Wifi signal drops to 1 bar when touching any part on the rear of the phone, when placed on any surface, signal is full.

2) Speaker not loud enough to be used a speakerphone while on phone call or skype video.

3) Despite disabling vibration time & again, it keeps getting enabled all by itself.

Please advice.
[Lenovo K900] trungduc5151:
1. No big problem to me/ not faced this yet

2.

- During a call via the side volume key to adjust the volume to maximum;

- If through the side volume key to adjust to the maximum, still feels too small, please call interface, press the menu key, and select "earpiece sound" effect of your changes as bright.

3. setting --> profile setting

Thank you once again trungduc5151.

Speakerphone Issue

Increased volume to full while call in progress using volume up/down keys - sound is as low as the earpiece of the phone.

Microphone sound effect set to bright - still speakerphone sound too low.

Vibration Issue

Disabled vibration from Profile Settings & from Lenovo Power but it still vibrates after a few screen touches.

Please note that vibration may occur when using the capacitive touch buttons on the bottom of the phone outside the display area but this vibration occurs when using the display touch screen despite disabling it from all possible settings.

hi, my phone is k900_row_1_s_2_009_0131_130727

how do i root it without losing my current data.
[Lenovo K900] vanhoe:
Without losing data? I'm afraid you can't.:(
[Lenovo K900] phukao:
you can flash only system via command line.

fastboot erase system

fastboot flash system system.img.gz

you can find system.img.gz from full rooting image in this topic page 75.
[Lenovo K900] vanhoe:
So if you do this, you don't have to re-install all the apps?:confused:
[Lenovo K900] phukao:
user app (loaded from play store) will store in data partition, this method will replace only system parition (system app).

that mean your setting, loaded app still alive.

but can work only replace with same rom version like unroot sytem replace with rooted system or reverse,

if replace with newer rom or older rom maybe wipe cache too, or sometime may wipe data (reset) to ensure avoid some service FC alert.
[Lenovo K900] kun1314:

Hi

I have the lenovo p780, it's a good smartphone with blasting battery life with its 4000mah, it lasts like almost 3 days with 10-11h screen on time

but now I want the k900 and i was wondering how good is its battery life?

thanks:)
[Lenovo K900] phukao:
1. power off

2. vol up + power on

3. when you see lenovo logo, release power key (still hold on vol up key).

4. wait a 2-3 sec, mobile will enter to droidboot (fastboot) mode. (blue font text menu)

5. see in bottom for screen and wait for "ready for command".

6. plug a usb to the phone.

7. let command on PC.

8. good luck.

Yes, can use it same in this case (name is differance, data is same), file size about (500-600MB+)

So I played with the Super Camera settings and capture some pictures with it, but the phone gets very hot (about 40°C) for just a few minutes after. It's pretty annoying to avoid touching the upper part of the phone where the heat is coming from. Though the photo is very decent looking if you can get the right setting for the condition.

I am waiting for my K900 to be delivered in couple of days... meantime quick question is about the LE phone UI. Is it an overhead on the phone and if this can be disabled in the original rom that comes with the phone.
[Lenovo K900] amoyan:
Not true. Only thing you don't get is Google services. Gmail GMap can be used .... A lot of the apps are in any of the app stores like Amazon , lenovo etc etc ...
[Lenovo K900] bobr76:
Sorry but until someone proves chinese rom is a lot better than ROW I rather not sideload the apps I use. I'm happy with google service and yeah it's up to everyone to decide.
[Lenovo K900] dabdob:
Just got the phone 3 hours ago, with international ROM_260 installed. Once I connected to the Internet it notified me with the new update 727, update size 19.7 MB. I started downloading, but it is very slow, painfully slow. Other internet locations are fine, as apps download from Play is fast also browsing the Internet. I also get a message every 5-10 minutes that the network connection has timed out.

After about an hour and half, it reached 100% but status stuck at "downloading" I have retried again and I am currently at 47%, but it is also slow!!!

In case the update doesn't work OTA, does anyone has a link to the 19MB update? I have the full ROM, but if I can have the small one and transfer it to the phone, I guess I won't lose apps and settings.

Other than that, the phone is sweet!
[Lenovo K900] amoyan:
Dude ... chill man ... it aint the end of the world without google services ... ;) there is all the other linuxes to play ... anyway ... that wasn't meant to be a plug for the chinese rom ... just for fyi.
[Lenovo K900] dabdob:
Ok, so I have downloaded the OTA upgrade another time, and again, it says "100%" but still it is stuck at downloading. However, I was out and used data trafic, so I went to see how much data has been used through my 3G plan, and it showed that System upgrade used 25 MB. This got me thinking that the size of the upgrade is more than 19 MB.

Anyone that did the OTA upgrade with upgrade size 19MB, have you experienced such thing?

EDIT: It finally worked! First it said error in unpacking and asked to download again. When I tried again, it downloaded the package in less than a minute, then it successfully upgraded the ROM. It seems there was something wrong with the server.
[Lenovo K900] voverty:

[Lenovo K900] msbrar:
Thanks for the link. I tried this Rom. It does not seem to be rooted properly. There is superuser application but rootchecker says that the phone is not rooted. Typing su in terminal gives a weird Security exception complaining about user 0 instead of -1 something, which i do not understand.
[Lenovo K900] ransagy:
Got mine and been using it for a day or two. So far, I'm impressed. The screen is gorgeous and the camera is great. Battery time seems fine so far as well, But that's a rolling process to see how it lasts.
[Lenovo K900] dabdob:
Yes, the Camera is too cool, and the images are sharp. I don't know how some reviewers on youtube and other sites underestimated the quality of images.

As for the battery, I see improvement when I let the phone charge overnight last night, but before, the phone only served me around 7 hours, though I used the camera a lot that day. Still, I am going to investigate if there something is draining the battery faster that it should.

Hi, my k900 has a white dot on the screen and its visible in white background and light colors, except black color, is this a dead pixel? Any remedy to this? Or its a hardware defect and permanent? Also sometimes my screen goes blackout, i dnt know if thats something to do with the dead pixel.
[Lenovo K900] msbrar:
Thank you very much for your response. No I did not do the step. It worked for me. Somehow I was expecting a prompt. The phone is rooted now. Albeit some applications do not find the root still. When I type su in terminal or try to use the es explorer root mode they fail. But the root browser worked and I was able to copy the font which is what I wanted to do with root. Thanks again.

---------- Post added at 11:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 PM ----------

I got Indian version too and rooting is pretty simple. Following worked for me.

1. Download the 727 version ROM linked on previous page.

2. Copy the rom contents to sdfuse folder in sdcard folder.

3. Power off the phone.

4. Hold the volume+ button and power on to get into droid boot

5. Select sdupdate option to install the rooted ROM. Reboot after successful install.

6. In superuser application choose allow all in security

Hope that helps.
[Lenovo K900] Sw33t_Lov3r:
Please give feedback on the heating issue. And help me device.

Weird. A dead pixel looks always the same, no matter the background color. Doesn't it? This might not be the case, but still can be a defective screen or pixel.

I'd take it to a local technician, hear what he says, then decide. After that you should know better so you can take it to warranty to ask for a replacement unit.

You can complain at thr Lenovo Facebook page so they take care of this more quickly, it usually works better than going through all the customer care representatives to get the problem fixed.

I suppose you are in the US, I hope their customer care service is good there.

I'm debating between the K900 and the Xperia Z Ultra. Lenovo, as a smartphones brand, is moving too slow, while Sony, with all its gadgets, "ecosystem", apps, support centers, (all this is a big plus, isn't it) etc is already here, in most countries, and in mine; Peru. Sony Facebook page representative said the XZU will be available here soon, whereas Lenovo's say "Will your country be next?" -.- Lenovo the turtle is putting me off. Dang. And they are working in a K910 already! How do you like that?

I've heard the heating can be annoying as it gets quite high, and quickly. Can you give more feedback on this? Please. Can it get above 42° C (109 F)? My Razr i sometimes, rarely, gets hot up to 43° when gaming, but it takes at last on hour to get that hot. I can feel it even with/through its resin case, and the screen is also as hot. It's not that annoying, cause it happens for an understandable reason, and not always. But I wonder if this heating in the K900 can be more than an annoyance; an issue. Something worrying. Is it?

Can this degrade the lifespan of the device? Can this kill the device? How much is the maximum temperature a SoC can bear safely?

I think this is my main concern. I'm getting over the lack of microSD card slot as I hope Lenovo release the 32GB version, or I could get it if silly Lenovo doesn't do it.

I'm 1% more for the Xperia Z Ultra each day thanks to Lenovo itself. And looks like the XZU has no reported issues so far, nor important drawbacks. Oh how much I liked the K900 design.

I hope you guys can help me define better these things. Thank you all!

[Lenovo K900] ashwin123:
Full Disclosure - I own both the K900 and the Ultra and have issues with both - K900 Dead Pixel - Ultra Blank Screen

So Ive been looking into user feedback on both and more and more people are receiving Xperia Z Ultras with the screen issue these days...

Check this thread out... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=44517405
[Lenovo K900] Sw33t_Lov3r:
Thank you. I'm reading. It's not certain if it's a software issue, but most certainly it's a hardware problem on the screen.

This is a problem that will be solved, and is unlikely to appear when the device is released globally and on. I mean, the devices released after that won't have these problems, one can assume.

Any other problem you can report on the XZU?

Where are you? Are there Lenovo support/warranty centers over there? What about Sony?

Please, give more feedback on my other concerns about the K900. Thank you, again.

- L.

Pd: As you have the device, maybe you can share the Intel wallpaper I saw in a Lenovo "unboxing" video. It's a live wp, I think. It's sky blue, and has the design of the Intel Core i processors stickers on the left end. I wonder if I could load it to my Razr i. n.n Please share it!
[Lenovo K900] ashwin123:
Buddy am halfway through my review of the k900... the ultra will be the better device for gaming I guess... the performance on the k900 is not great, there is a little lag at times (more to do with optimization for the intel chipset that lack of power I guess) will post a link to the review once am done...

Service here sucks... am waiting to send the k900 back.. with sony they are still checking if they can cover it under warranty (since I bought it in india)

And its India BTW

As for the wallpaper, I dont have it in my phone... no extra LWP :(
[Lenovo K900] Sw33t_Lov3r:
I'll have to search for the wallpaper. It's the one that appears here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtx7HJyP_y8

Does someone have it? Please?

I hope your review covers my concerns. Can you specify what games have lag? Or maybe you're saving the details for your review. It's ok, if so. I can wait.

These problems do are due to lack of optimization on the game side. You know, my Xperia Pro can handle fine most EA and Gameloft HD games with good graphics. For example Nova 3, with high graphics runs fine on it. Just needed to get rid of unneeded processes, and it works so very nicely. So I hope these games developers improve the performance of their games for the K900. But users need to complain, I think.

When lags occur, does your K900, had many/several services running in the background? Wanted services like Set CPU profiles, a clipboard manager, etc.? My Razr i has only had little issues with Asphalt 7 1.0.5, which has high graphics. That's the only one game that's had a little lag, specially in the beginning of the races. But it's still very playable and enjoyable.

After getting rid of unwanted apps services (bloatware) I get almost 470 MB free of RAM after a reboot, before it was 315MB. Now I noticed I can multitask much better (it was good already), and battery life is better too! Have you done something like this, a bit of "cleaning" on your K900 and/or XZU? (I use ROM Toolbox Pro for the job)

So, well, I tell you because I'd like your device to cover these details on RAM and CPU usage for the game or the performance that's being commented.

I'm very pleased with my Razr i, so I wanted to stick with Intel. And now I want a big screen powerful smartphone; the K900 or the XZU. I'm not in the hurry, so I hope everything goes fine with my final decision.

Pd: With one these I feel I won't turn on my PC other that to work and UPNP/DNLA streaming, as right now happens even with my compact Razr i. n.n
[Lenovo K900] ashwin123:
I start each game from a reboot so as to not let anything interfere.. as for killing stuff with rom toolbox, cant do that for a pro review :( need to test stuff out at stock... Iron man 3 runs smooth, real racing 3 glitches severely, dead trigger, shadow gun and temple run 2 run fine with minor lags, lags are a little more prominent with Riptide GP 2... it heats a lot too... I love the K900 and it checks a lot of boxes for me so please dont take this as me bashing on the K900... Its not the device to go to for gaming though
