Some european operators use 900MHz as an auxilary band for 3g.

Main frequency is 2100MHz, mainly in cities, and 900MHz covers some rural areas.

Check your operator and if you should need 900/2100MHz, there are like dozen china phones

that use that frequencies.

My ZTE v987 is one of them...

hi neighbour, i live 40 km from Aachen

Have you tried the GPS ?

What is the quality of the HD video ?

Have you a sample of pictures you made ? Could you sent one to me ?

I'm now using an Nokia N8, symbian, with great offline gps, great pictures and superb video with stereo sound.

But symbian is dying as you know. So i'm looking for an good and rather cheap Android.

Greetings.

So i wouldn't have 3G in areas where they are using the 900 Mhz ? that's bad !
[Lenovo P780] scampstom:
Liège? ;)

Camera is fine for me, but perhaps won´t meet your expectations if this is a main purpose.

GPS is working really fine without any problem.

Regarding loss of connection in 900 MHz I did not notice that. But I am living and working in Cologne-Düsseldorf-Wuppertal-Region with a good 2100 MHz net.

which maps do you use for the gps ?

[Lenovo P780] scampstom:
Bought it at Etotalk incl. modrom and original flip-case (great thing!) for approx. EUR 280,- incl. DHL. No (!) tax due to "gift"-option.

I tried mainly Google Maps, but also the OsmAnd+ offline maps (included in Etotalk´s modrom).

Genk? My college Didier G. is from Genk, too ... You know Norbord (former Agglo)?

New Lenovo P780 user here as well. Just got this phone today from china supplier.

As expected, no play store in there so tried download the apk and install.

Installed successful but whenever try to launch it open and then close immediately.

Can anyone help me? Thank you.

Firmware is P780_S129_130710, is there a custom ROM already somewhere?
[Lenovo P780] scampstom:
[MENTION=5344025]needrom[/MENTION].com are several other roms available, 1 multilanguage seems to be fine.

The 900 MHz band is easily activated with a zip from recovery.

Can you be more specific? What ZIP are You talking about? No matter which soft i flashed - there was no 900 Mhz. It showed only once on S125 with China baseband but in EU it was useless because of reception problems at all bands.
[Lenovo P780] Sinedbret:
Hi all,

I am also from Belgium, Brussels to be precise, I have no problem at all concerning the 3G. I am very satisfied by the phone. I am using a Russian rom which is working smoothly. I have tried several different Roms but the LIFE v0.3 is the best on according to me. However I haven't heard about the one your are talking about. Be carefull when you are flashing new Roms, I lost my IMEI during a flash operation. Always take a backup of your IMEI before doing anything.

What are the reasons for flashing another custom ROM?

Language / Lenovo Modifications?

P780 S115_ROW_130807 Is this a Custom ROM or the original?

What about the original ROM, is Lenovo going to support it with some updates?

The point is that I need a stable phone with regular updates and I dont want to flash new ROMs over and over again..! Thats why I would prefer sticking with the original ROM
[Lenovo P780] scampstom:
you would do me a favour if you test that - perhaps with more locale 2 and German language :cyclops:
[Lenovo P780] Basyvava:
Can anybody confirm that this works? Pleeaaase. I would test it myself but my P780 hasn't been delivered yet :)
[Lenovo P780] Sinedbret:
You simply go to "System Settings" -> "All Settings" -> Storage -> "Default Write Disk" -> "External Storage"

By doing this the system consider the main storage being your external SD Card.

But take care because, all the installed apps will need to be reinstalled.

Another option is to use Titanium Backup which has a tool to move apps from the internal storage to the external. (In fact, it copies the data and creates a Symlink)

After flashing new firmware and baseband my Chinese P780 now works with 900Mhz.

I used SP Flash Tools to flash P780_ROW_S116_130828 rom (from Russian Lenovo forum) and by using Mobileuncle Tools I managed to start Custom CWM recovery that enabled me to flash the baseband using “modem S920 for P780″.

hard to believe. although it did show the option to set the 900 mhz for me, it did not work.

are you sure it was on that band?

Yes, mobileuncle tools did show the 900 Mhz option but it didn't actually do anything. After using "modem S920 for P780" the phone (SIM 2 in my case) was able to reach the carrier. My initial baseband version was P780.V17, now it's S920.V17.

Not solved yet

Hi all,

I have read all posts in this thread but the problem is not solved at all.

I have the same problem with 3G connection, in this area Digi provider specifies WCDMA 2100 (Romania).

The phone report:

Lenovo P780 / Android 4.2.1

Baseband P780 V19, 2013/04/22.10.29

Build no LiFe_P780_v07_UL (Russian ROM multi-language).

Phone spec : 900/2100 HSDPA (and I think is a China version flashed with ROW because it comes only with chinese manual).

SIM1 Digi/MobNW UMTS/in service, MobNW State Disconected ??? (even data is on/off). Slot 1 is correct one for data.

SIM2 Orange/GPRS/in service (working fine without data ... no plan).

Everithing else is working fine (amazing I can say ... with all speed settings done).

On DATA SIM (1) voice connection is working well but data at all in any version I tweek the settings (even in developer mode - engineering).

I'm not a specialist (but nor rookie), I have done all the possible permutations between System settings/Preferences/Engineers options.

The phone is new and I'm not willing to flash it ... yet. So if somebody had the same problem and had solve it, please reply with the solution.

Thank you.

I solve the problem, it was an APN mistake, for new phones is another setting in APN Type (default + supl = both marked)

Sorry to bother.
[Lenovo P780] Dark_Horse:
When I got my Chinese 4GB P780, it had the v51 baseband modem installed on firmmware 119 ROW. Under Mobileuncle Tools engineer mode, for SIM 1, only WCDMA-IMT-2000 was available and enabled in the UMTS list which means there was no 3G availabe on the 900MHz band.

However, once I installed stock 124 ROW, the baseband modem changed to stock v23 and 3G on 900MHz was available. Under Mobileuncle Tools engineer mode, for SIM 1, both WCDMA-IMT-2000 and WCDMA-GSM-900 was available and enabled in the UMTS list. So I think the 900MHz 3G hardware is present on Chinese phones and you just need to flash with the ROW firmware to unlock it.

Reading the above though, it sounds like even if the UMTS 900MHz band is available and selected in Mobileuncle tools, it doesn't actually do anything on Chinese P780 phones and if you have a 3G SIM that allows 3G over 900MHz, it still won't connect.

So which one is it? If WCDMA-GSM-900 is enabled and set in Mobileuncle Tools, does that mean the 900MHz 3G hardware is present and working or not? Need to get a 3G SIM with 900MHz so will try tonight but don;t know how to force it to use 900MHz on 3G.

Hi,

I hope this is the right section for my question.

I'd like to compile an android app from source, but since I'm a complete noob in that regard, I need some help :)

The app in question is CoolReader - here is the source: http://sourceforge.net/projects/cre...r3/cr3-3.0.56/cr3_3.0.56.orig.tar.gz/download

I want to change a few lines and compile it, so the eink refresh options work on other devices too.

I believe a lot of screens, this one included, are also polarized. Nothing can change that. Try rotating the phone 90 degrees, should allow you to see.
