desobboy,

i believe the 130427 is the stock rom while the 130828 is the upgraded version.

may we know how did you get to the 130828?

i too managed my parents A760. my mum is using the 130427 and my dad is using the 130828.

as for my dad's 130828, i used this rom posted by mellomade which basically saved my life.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] desobboy:
I have received the two phones with two different baseband firmwares. So i found some answer in the russian 4pda.ru forum - the problem is caused by the coaxial antena connector on the mainboard. I will open the phone and see if this is the reason for the problem.

I will write when i fix the problem.

Hello guys,

I just bought A760.And I have problem.Phone does not produce sounds any more,he only vibrates for incoming call,there is no sound when i try to listen music or songs,does not produce sound when i try to change ringtone....I've tried factory reset,but didn't help.I updated to 130828 chinese ROM,also did not help.After reset or update,he produces sounds normally for few moments,but then again I have same problem.Now i tried to put 130828 with english and Gapps,but I got message update aborted.Can anyone help me?

Thank's in advance
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mansrow:
its either your sound profile is muted but this is too easy. if you did not have it for too long, why not send it in for warranty?

perhaps you should wait for other member to reply.

if there is not reply, then send it in for a check.

never encountered such issue before, sorry !

Hi, i have a problem.

I installed cwm and Audi rom on november, then miui recovery and official Lenovo rom (2808..)

Now I want to install miui rom but with adb procedure I can't install cwm.

Pressing the three buttons I see a new recovery boot....

What have I do to install cwm ?

Why now the adb procedure doesn't work.?

Hi. First, you must delete a file called 'install-recovery.sh' located inside this directory : system/etc/install-recovery.sh

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jachol:
Hi,

I've had mine 4 - 5 months now, and can recommend it, battery life is excellent, and it's a pretty fast device.

I have the 130828 update which is 4.1.2, and I'm not aware of anything later.

There are several ROMS you can flash, you'd have to read through all posts to find them, I'm using the one

posted by mellomade Page 15 post 142, it's very stable, I've had no problems at all. ...J.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mellomade:
You can actually use ROOT Explorer or E.S Explorer which have the function to mount file system to R/W

Mount /system (rw / ro) from Play Store is one of example app to mount file system to R/W

This will enable you to delete the install-recovery.sh inside the system folder

Miui is fantastic.

Miui For me the best rom For this Device.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _mfm_:
The screen is not so good, it looks a little fuzzy and and can (barely) recognize two fingers. Also some software like Viber doesn't work properly. There is some major bug with WCDMA 900 MHz and two SIM-cards.

But the sound is good even if loud and the Lenovo system is not so bad.

If you can save the money for Lenovo A850 instead you get a much better phone.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geniotre23:
Lenovo a820 For example is better. The touch of a760 does'nt work perfectly.

Miui rom For me is the best.

In miui rom touch is acceptable.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] umaga2012:
thanks for the heads up.I bet that's the catch.Unfortunately that's the only Lenovo phone I've seen that's within my price range .I may buy the Huawei Y300 afterall.It's duo core and with only 512 RAM but with massive ROM support including CM11.Otherwise I may just get the Numy Sword Tablet for a similar price and forget about custom roms :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geniotre23:
i think there are not smartphones at this price with 1 giga ram.

Don't buy copies of Samsung or Others like Apple or lg...

For example star phones.

Huawei y300 is good. My Brother has no problems.

The screen is well defined.

I saw there are some roms you can change.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] umaga2012:
Actually the Numy 3G Sword tablet costs just as much as the Lenovo A760 and has a gig of RAM and is quad-core .Makes me wonder what's the catch with these cheap Chinese devices ...or maybe its the Likes of Samsung and sony who are ripping us off

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] feartheanonymity:
Hey guys!

So last night after I finished playing candy crush :o I put my phone in my pocket, About an hour later I took it back out and it wouldn't come on, I removed the battery, tried to charge it and nothing happened. Completely dead.

If I connect it to my pc it beeps and recognises that a device has been attached, However that is all, I cannot access anything or operate the phone, It doesnt even detect the phone just that a device has been plugged in through USB.

If i charge it on the mains nothing happens, no light, no charging animation, nothing, My charger lights up red when charging and green when fully charged, When I connect the phone with NO battery the charger turns red (but still wont boot up) when I put the battery in the light turns green.

Does anyone have any ideas or is it just f*cked ? It only came with 3 months warranty so sending it back is a no no. plus it came from china so postage would take forever and a day.

When I open command prompt and type adb devices it doesnt show any device.

Really bummed about this as I wanted a decent phone without being on contract and I cant really afford to buy another decent spec phone right now.

Any help is greatly appreciated, Sorry for the long message and thank you !

ive left it charge for a full day on both mains and usb, Its just dead, Which is a shame because it is immaculate, not a scratch or scuff on it. And without it working its worthless.

I have been out a bought the Moto G for £99. so thats my new phone for now.

Lewa os 5 for A760 with english

http://www.lenovosj.com/rom/a760/673.html
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lxxa:
Hi Guys,

I'm using the A760 now (after an S750) with the modded 0828 FW (without chinese stuff, with google and rooted), which you have mentioned before.

I've found the following bugs:

- screen sensitivity:

I'm using the [touchscreen booster] app and it's acceptable now, but S750 (and the others I've used recently: Z1, XperiaM) are far better. I don't want to remove the screen protector I have but maybe I'll give a try.... and of course it feels sometimes uncalibrated but nothing serious...

- volume:

too loud. even the external speaker BUT the internal too and I cannot reduce volume to minimum during a call but only until the "first step"

- headphones:

I cannot use headphones (w/o mic) + the internal mic, bc internal mic is disabled when I use the earphone only and not a headset (with mic.)

Wired headset is working properly.

When a connected earphone is removed the ongoing call will be interrupted immediately. strange anyway.

- probably it's better living without the Lenovo Power widget, but after 1 day I have 51% left w/o that.

- wifi signal is poor, but usable

- camera - with this rom - is crappy.

- I've tried the russian [Led Reminder] app but only the tests are working it won't blink the "hard" keys after a missed call or unread message.

So after 3 days it's a great device with this rom for the price but wondering if MIUI rom would be better. (I've used a modded MIUI for Defy it was the best available ROM)

Anybody can confirm these "bugs" or any experience with MIUI related to these things?

Thanks

I thought I'd try the LEWA ROM ... presently I have the A760_1_S_2_001_0133_130828 (with Gapps and English) as posted by mellomade post

recovery via Vol +/-, and power buttons I find I still have Android 3e, which fails to flash the LEWA.zip file. I'v found no way to boot other recovery

Near Disaster

Hi all,

I can't account for what happened, but the ext. SD card went belly up in my A760, result was that the phone wouldn't boot past the splash screen,

not knowing what was wrong I tried accessing my backups via recovery, that didn't work and I soon realised somthing was wrong with the SD

card.

I had the backups copied to my PC, so I put them on to another card, and tried again to restore via recovery, but that failed too ( desperate now)

The only way out was to try a new flash of the ROM ... melomade's link to A760_1_S_2_001_0133_130828 seems to be broken now, so that was

out. I found 5 possible ROM's in the link below ... I tried the A760_1_S_2_001_0133_130828 custom ROM, which flashed OK, but was instable.

Did a reflash with the LEWA Rom from the same source, so far this is running fine, but one puzzle is how do you access your apps in LEWA ?. ...

Hi,

First pull the battery, the phone may just be locked up.

Try a full battery recharge then see if it boots up or you can recheck recovery ........

1. Try power button and volume minus

2. Try power and volume plus

These combinations may get you back into some form of recovery, if so try and find a factory reset and start from scratch. ... J
