For this price is a good choice... 5/6 month ago the price was 319$.. now is more or less 199... I found only one problem with proximity sensor, in the direct sunlight the screen turn on during a call, but I resolve with an app.

Also THL W200 is a good phone but is "only" 5 inch... the tcl s950 (in europe is Alcatel idolX) it' nice but is expensive..

Another choice is waiting the new octa-core...;)

---------- Post added at 05:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:29 PM ----------

No

Only stock, Lewa and MIUI 4.2.x
[Android General] xytkhi:
I not sure if to buy the s920 or as u say maybe to wait to the octa core phons. Also the price of the s920 is low and maybe its not so good compere the other phones in the market?

thanx buddy, i had tried all those options and they did not work, flashtools could not recognise my phone, so i took it back to lenovo dealer and he said that i had somehow deleted the firmware, had to pay $50 to get a replacement phone...... now i want to root and upgrade to 4.4 but i am as scared as a chicken
[Android General] garfunkelvila:
hello guys does anyone experiencing RAM issues like mine ??

Does anyone experiencing massive amount of RAM usage by system ??

It almost reach 75% of the total RAM that makes me restart the phone with "Quick boot up at next boot" disabled. as restarting with it enabled makes no sense.

sorry for my english
[Android General] _mfm_:
Does the S920 have a notification LED for charging and missed calls etc?
[Android General] eyad_220:
yes it has, go to settings --> all settings --> display --> LED notification settings

you have only 4 options

1- incoming calls

2- missed calls

3- unread messages

4- battery low warning

when charging the led is red by default, and when the battery is full it turns green.

its not like Samsung, it doesn't have BLN
[Android General] calik:
Strange... It's almost impossible brick this type of smartphone with mtk processor.... Next time try with another pc, reinstall driver ecc..

The guide for root is on the first page... It's simple.

4.4 kitkat is not avalable for lenovo you can choose only stock rom, MIUI and lewa.... All is 4.2.x

Thanks. Does the LED indicator work for third-party applications (Viber, QQ, etc) as well? It works on phones from Huawei, LG, Samsung etc but not on my Lenovo A850.

i have read that "Light Flow Lite" will work on Lenovo S920

here is the link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rageconsulting.android.lightflowlite&hl=en

for this to work you must be rooted, and you have enable the option for HTC, i did test the app, and it made my LED flashes

you can install it and play with the options a little bit :cowboy:

for all the FM radio lovers, and as our beloved Lenovo S920 stock radio app is boring and have no RDS

here is a radio application taken from a rom i found on an Indonesian forum http://www.kaskus.co.id/

the rom is ported from Xperia C

this app has a visualizer, RDS, and you can choose Radio region!!

you can install it as a normal application, you don't have to be rooted, and you will still have stock FM app.

enjoy :o

Thanks, I actually tried it with my A850 earlier and I got it to lit up the green LED (but no flashing). Also it seems Lite version doesn't support notification for external programs and that you must have the paid version for that... Anyway, will try it when I get my S920.

Another thing I wondered about was if anyone knows for 100% sure if all Chinese S920 support WCDMA 900 MHz if you flash the S920 ROW modem/baseband?
[Android General] bhs2x:
Lenovo S920 owners I found some nice ROM for our beloved 920 in Russian lenovo forum, but for these ROMs to work you have to be on Russian ROW firmware, if you are on Chinese rom these Roms wont work. So you will have to flash S117 ROW firmware using SP tools.

Here is the link for ROMs (link takes directly to ROMpage):

[Android General] _mfm_:
I got my S920 now, but it's completely impossible to download anything using Google Play. I only get 403 error (and I googled and no there is no proxy setting to remove, and I've tried cleaning cache, cleaning data, removing the google account, factory reset etc). Wifi or data no difference.

Nothing helps, 403 every time.

Used S110 ROW first, then S117 ROW and now S920_ROW_S121_131217. No difference.

Anyone got any ideas on why?
[Android General] bernard.silaen:
Try this method

1. Go to setting Find mobile Networks

2. Select access point names

3. Select provider that you used for data/internet

4. Select the gprs

5. Find Proxy

6. Delete anything inside it n make it blank

Then try your playstore... is there any different

I had installed aosp vanila rom at my lenovo, and a get some bug with my multitouch...

I installes real drum from playstore.. when i touch the bass n hold my finger on it then i touch one of the cymball the bass make the sound too.. normaly it will not happen...

It's there some one who have the same problem as me?? Or there any solution about this bug

[Android General] _mfm_:
Now google play works after another re-install of S117 ROW, don't ask me why...

However, there is a more serious problem. The phone only sees one of the two GSM networks here in Sweden (and it's not a question of signal strength, all other phones can see it including Lenovo A760 and Lenovo A850). I am using the latest baseband (V23). Has anyone experienced something like this?

This is the second time a Lenovo china version phone doesn't work properly in Europe (A760 never worked as it should either). :mad:
[Android General] calik:
If you have china version like me, you must install an old version of modem 16 or 17 (change only a modem.img) for better work in europe.... Try...

Thanks! I flashed Chinese V52 which made it work with both GSM networks. :good:

Of course, that made me lose WCDMA 900 MHz which I also would have wanted... :crying: Guess you can't have everything with this phone.

Before V52 I tried the baseband from P780 ROW but that didn't make any difference.
[Android General] calik:
Yes right... Me too... Lost the 900MHz...:banghead: But for me is not a big problem In my country this band is used only in 1/2 % of cover toghether at the standard 2100....

[Android General] _mfm_:
A bit disappointing since Lenovo A850 works fine with 900/2100 as far as I can tell, even the Chinese hardware flashed with ROW firmware (but even the Chinese version has official support for WCDMA 900).

Too bad I always have to find these things out the hard way and prior to this people say that it's all fine (Same with Lenovo A760 which has a firmware bug in all versions so if you use WCDMA 900 and two SIM-cards the internet download doesn't work, just upload...).

Anyway, the phone works fine enough now, I can change baseband depending on which operator is going to be used.

8GB version of Lenovo S920

Hi. I'm a newbie to Lenovo phone thread here. In Thailand, Lenovo now sells 8GB version of S920 (in blue). I just got these two over the weekend and the version is still S920_ROW S111 but with 8GB marked. Do you guys think the steps in this thread would apply without problem?

The phone is root with framaroot and XPosed/GravityBox installed/enabled. LEDFlow is installed but still not working as expected.

Recovery is still in Chinese.

Let me hear from you guys then.

Guys any update on KitKat custom ROMs?
[Android General] _mfm_:
You can't flash the firmware files for the 4GB version if that's what you're asking.

Hmm, it seems Viber doesn't work 100% with this phone either. Sometimes it doesn't scroll in the smiley list (just very little and then presses some simley you didn't want to send...). Then I have to exit and enter 1-2 times to be able to scroll properly. Anyone else has this problem? It just seems to be in Viber, I haven't noticed touch or scroll problems anywhere else.

At least it's much better than on Lenovo A760 where Viber doesn't work at all (the remote party can't hear anything you say).
[Android General] jadevt:
Hi Thank you. That's what I thought as well that the 4GB things will not compatible with my model. I would love to have the partition combination first thing as it was divided to 4.42GB Internal storage and 2.84GB Built-In storage. Everything else, I am still fine to live with as changing launcher and those rooting works normally.

[Android General] ghass2msk:
hi guys please can anyone tell me the process to do for the Re-partition storage , please step by step :D
[Android General] u022896:
It's very simple to solve it: you have to gain root privilege and replace the baseband "/etc/firmware/modem.img" ver 24 or later with that the same file but ver V18.

You can copy the new file on the SD and then via root explorer on the phone. Than you can copy an replace the original file. At the end be sure that root must be the owner of the file with permission 644.

Restart the phone and the SIM 2 will work too
[Android General] bakthariq:
Hi, jadevt.

I also have the 8GB version. Actually you can use the 4GB rom on yours with a bit of tweak. When flasing with SP flash tools, you have to substitute 3 files: the scatter file, EBR1 and EBR2. Use the files from a 8GB rom. Just use google to find the URL for this rom.

For my experiment, I used the S117 for 4GB. After flashing, I had a fully working S117 version AND my 8GB partition intact. Then I updated to S121 OTA! ;)

Hi Bakthariq: Do you mean that, I can simply extract ROM files. and simply replace the scatter, EBR1 and EBR2 from the 8GB one to *any* newer ROM / other ROMs? Do you also refer to also other custom roms like VIBEROM as well or just standard Lenovo ones.
[Android General] bakthariq:
I am afraid not. What I did was to use the official stock rom for the 4GB version unto the 8GB using the SP flash tools.

I understand that for custom roms you dont use SP flash tools but CWM or TWRP for flashing.

Hi guys.

I flashed my s920 to the latest miui rom. It had some bugs, so I searched for another rom and this one: ( [devteam.vn] S920 Note 3 E New ROM ) seem to be better, after going to recovery mode (volume up and down + power) and install the zip file and complete installing, I rebooted the device, but it stopped at the boot animation (a freeze frame of it) I removed the battery and reboot the phone again. This time there was no that freeze frame even, and the phone do not anything. :crying:

I reinstall that zip file and the miui zip file that was the latest rom, but those were unsuccessful all.

what 4.4 v that i can update my device with ? link please
[Android General] mulenguezt:
Could you please develop on this? I am confused. What I understand (I might be wrong) is:

1- You download one 4GB version ROM of your liking (ROW or CN based by the way?)

2- Unzip that ROM and substitute the following files by the 8GB version files of the same name:

2.1: Scatter file: MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc.txt (Or perhaps MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc_PMT.txt?? I've 2 in my Nandroid Backup)

2.2: ERB1

2.3: ERB2

3- Zip the package again?

4- Flash the tweaked ROM using SP Flash Tools.

Your help is appreciated, thanks.
[Android General] bakthariq:
I guess I was addressing two different issues on one reply, that is why it was confusing :)

Ok, about using 4GB rom on 8GB version. You could achieve this just by replacing 3 files (the scatter file, EBR1 and EBR2) in the original stock 4GB rom with the similar files originating from a stock 8GB rom. Let's take for example you want to install S117. You could download the original rom S117 intended for 4GB rom. This archive consist of 4 folders. What we are interested in is the content of the "target_bin" folder which we need to flash into the handset using SP Flash Tools. The folder consists of many files (the important ones are: preloader_seine_row.img, secro.img, recovery.img, ramdisk.img, cache.img, fat_s920_row.img, preload.img, boot.img, system.img, ik.bin, logo.bin, MBR, EBR1, EBR2, MT6589_Android_scatter.txt). Now you need to replace the EBR1, EBR2, and MT6589_Android_scatter.txt with similar ones from the original 8GB roms!

There is only 1 rom that I know of for 8GB which is S111 and it can be found in the russian forum in [lenovo-forums.ru]. Don't worry, you can use the files from this rom although it is different version. Extract those 3 files from that rom. You could skip this step since I already downloaded this rom and uploaded mine here ["docs.google.com/file/d/0B3LmFA4wpOIiSVZMVlNCdk1EZlE/edit?pli=1]. Just use this. Extract and copy these files and put them in the "target_bin" folder of the S117 that I mentioned above, replacing the original ones.

Then proceed with flashing by using SP Flash Tools method as usual. So there is no need to zip back the files.

Just browse to the scatter file, and the appropriate files will be selected automatically.

If you follow the correct procedures, usually flashing is harmless. But please familiar yourself with how the SP Flash Tools works.

And yes, this method can be used both for ROW as well as Chinese firmware base. Just make sure that you "inject" files from ROW into ROW rom, CN into CN rom, and or else it won't boot.
