Hi. You have the ROW version , thats mean: Rest Of the Worl, not Chinese.

To check if your phone has root, can download any root checker from market and see.

The next step is to change modem software you must root your phone and install custom recovery like TWRP or CWM.

After root and custom recovery go to my post: How about some modems and you will find there alot of modems for KK. That modems you must use. Not others. They are located in folder:Modems for S221 LATEST UPDATE. For Europe i recomend: modem_P780_V101_Life_Vibe.zip

Your firmware is the last OTA for sure.

Good Luck.

Modem change

Thanks for your clear explanations stympy. For sure will try out today, evening time.

Before I proceed can you please advise

1. How to make proper backup.

2. Is there a way to test the quality and level of the signal after modem change procedure to see and check if the level of transmission of signal is high enough to be sure that this modem firmware suits me best.

Thanks a lot in advance

Will revert with results in any case.
[Lenovo P780] stympy:
Hi.

1.The proper backup for me is with custom recovery TWRP. You can allso backup the 2 folders(system/etc/mddb and firmware) with the modem software with ZIPME fom Google Magazin.

2. The quality and level of signal after modem change is to keep monitoring you phone signal and speak. After this you will see if signal is crushing and the one who you talk is hearing you and revert !

****, I am still stuck on with USB driver Installation.

The files you have provided, I have successfully downloaded them.

When I connect the device to my laptop, the PC sees the device and asks for a driver, I have installed these drivers you provided but my laptop does not recognize them as compatible drivers saying that device is not recognised, I am stuck and I think I can not move any further because of this
[Lenovo P780] kozav100:
Zero results

As the result of my many hours attempts yesterday to make the phone working and recognized by the PC properly lead to zero results.

The problem with the driver. The PC detects the connected device asks for a driver, installed the drivers you have provided stympy. But Lenovo P780 icon doesn't appear in the list of devices in My Computer or Explorer or when appears after Clicking on it, does not show the content at all. Empty list.

Owning many different phones, I neved had such a problem before. All devices after short drivers installation were always recognizable at first connection.

Strange and very dissapointing.

Hi. The computer with windows installed recognize this piece of hardware for just a second in device manager. I have windows 7 installed and when i connect the phone some autorun starts with the driver. Your phone does that ?
[Lenovo P780] kozav100:
Attempts for phone root with intention to change the modem

Dear stympy and the rest of to whom it may concern,

Writing again to submit my dissapointment that has no positivie results at all. Not able to root, install TWRP or any other ROM Manager software etc...nothing!

Would like to specify that I have a Lenovo P780 device with 4 GB memory and most likely a device for sale on Chinese markets as labels on the cover box of the phone and stickers under the back cover are in Chinese language.

Although, the device I bought from a seller as new device was upgraded to a firmware he said, in fact I do update my firmware over air which is designated for the "Rest of the World" (as per Settings info.).

I go through the step-by-step guide written by stympy and I am stuck with SP Flash Tools software.. I tried using the SP Flash Tools as per the guide while the phone is in switched on and off conditions but the utility does nothing to the phone, as if it the phone is not recognized by SP Flash Tools.

When I connect the phone to the PC in the switched off condition I get the message thatn an as USB device not recognized asking for a driver (I browse to the drivers folder indicating the correct driver initially it was recognized and now not anymore) but when I Connect the phone to the PC in the switched on condition then phone is fine, immediately get recognized and I get access to the Internal Memory and SD Card content.

Very, very strange and ridiculous behaviour.

Same problem actuall to other PC connected with my Lenovo P780.

I wonder if there is another way to root my phone and change modem firmware. Please keep me advised accordingly,

Thanks a lot for your support

kozav100
[Lenovo P780] stympy:
Hi. Lets try this trick :D :

1. Look on the internet for this app called 1 Mobile Market apk

2. Download and install.

3. There you will find alot of chinese app for rooting.

4. Install and try to root your phone.

5. If you succeed instal Mobileuncle Tool and flash TWRP recovery from there.

6. After this you can flash modems

7. Good luck.

8. Waiting for feedback.

SUCCEEDED!!!

I am back with good news. I managed, I managed!!!! Yeeehaaaa!!!!

I managed to flash TWRP and root by the method you have described above stympy.

Now, what I was doing wrong is that upon running SP Flash Tools software I was connecting the phone with USB Cable before pressing the Download Not Firmware upgrade button and NOT AFTER as advised (1) and my second fault is that I used only one scatter file coming together with TWRP and recovery.img.

I have succeeded flashing with the alternative scatter files for 4 GB version.

Check with Root checker - device rooted!!

Now, going further I have put the model firmware as "modem_P780_V23_S226_ROW" on the internal memory of the phone and will try to install it via TWRP manager.

Please advise if this firmware will not work well or work as bad as previous one, Do i just install another modem firmware on top of the installed one and that is it ?

Thanks
[Lenovo P780] stympy:
Hi. Yes you are right. Flash modem reboot see if works, if dont work reflash other so on and on and on.. When you flash new modem will overite the old modem.

Good Luck, and waiting for feedback.
[Lenovo P780] kozav100:
Modem Firmware change success

Dear stympy,

Once again writing my feedback to confirm success in modem firmware flashing, changing to "modem_P780_V23_S226_ROW". (looks to be latest one available to download and with hopes that most corrected version)

From now on the voice quality is better enough than before, the voice quality is much clearer and higher, but still not smooth enough.

During the tel.conversations on the other line, the person who I am talking to hears my speech with interruptions from time to time.

Do you think I still need to give another tries for alternative firmware ?

Please provide again the link to the folder with modem firmwares stored and also advise which firmware best suits my case.

Thanks

Regards,

kozav100
[Lenovo P780] stympy:
Hi. You could try one more who i think is the same as v23. The modem from LiFe rom must do the job. I used both and have no problems.

Good Luck.
[Lenovo P780] kozav100:
I will for sure try the firmware you have advised above.

Moreover, I proceed to receive an OTA Updates for the Android system, but taking into account the last issue with modem, understanding that it will not do any good only harm. What do you think about it ?

Regards,

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Pilz:
I've had my nexus for a while now and as much as I enjoy using it there is a really big issue that keeps coming back. The touch sensitivity on my screen is terrible. It won't recognize half of my touches from time to time and its really frustrating. I have tried fixing it using the ts files and will work for a while then it will start with its issues again.

I also flashed almost every ROM I could think of trying to see if i t fixed the issue however it did not. I always flashed the unlock for the ts after so it would not stick in the new Roms hoping that it would get better. I have also done a full factory reset and wipe without any luck. Currently I'm running Android L lpv81( the second release) and I'm not ropted. I was using 4.4.4 with twrp earlier but it doesn't matter as long as I can get this touch issue fixed.

I looked around the forum for a while and used every fix I could find but none lasted long enough for me to enjoy it. I would really appreciate any help with this, I'm not afraid to mess around with some things to fix this issue.

[Asus Padfone X and S] treojoew:
I have always had my phones in protective cases and screen protectors on the glass. Since currently, and probably never, will there be a case that will allow the phone to dock with the station (awkward folio case excluded) I feel like every day is a gamble walking around with my Padfone X naked just so I can easily slip it into the station whenever I want to. I have a wish.

I would love to see a tether cable that we could plug into the station and the phone. We could wrap the phone up in Otterboxes run the cable from our bag or pocket or nightstand to the station in our hands! Doesn't that sound wonderful?

C'mon EE's and hardware hackers (maybe ASUS product dev too), is this possible?
[Asus Padfone X and S] teeth_03:
To be blunt, this sounds like a fugly idea, if you make JUST a cable to connect the 2. How are you going to hold both? If there was some kind of weird contraption that mounts an otter box to the station, it would add way too much weight and bulk.

In short, the Padfone X is for people who are ok using their devices naked, because any other way is just too awkward for an already partially awkward device.

The only way your idea would be useful would if you had the keyboard and you kept it and the station sitting on your desk and you came in to home/work and docked your phone to it. But that seems like a waste for sure.
[Asus Padfone X and S] treojoew:
No way jose. Think about it; nice light station in your hand with a cable running off to your end table where the phone sits, or, into your backpack beside you or at your feet. Easy peasy.
[Asus Padfone X and S] teeth_03:
To each his own I guess. Have you tried just using a micro USB extension cable?
[Asus Padfone X and S] ghost0001:
How about a case that works for both. A case for the phone and a second for the pad that accommodates the phone with a cable and it's own slot.

[Moto X Q&A] mpetruzz:
OK I must be an idiot cause I cannot for the the life of me figure out where to change the soft keys in gravitybox. Can someone point me in the right direction.

Or if there is another app that's better I'm cool with other suggestions too.

Thanks!!
[Moto X Q&A] HeroOfTime:
I haven't used Gravity Box for a while since I have been using ART, but I have used SoftKeyZ Root. I think it's like $1 in the Play Store (link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.janis605.softkeyz), but it provides a number of soft keys that people have uploaded that are continually added to the app (or you can upload your own), it conveniently creates a backup of your stock keys when you flash new keys and it makes it easy to restore the backup if needed. That's my suggestion if you don't mind spending a dollar or if you have survey credit.
[Moto X Q&A] mpetruzz:
I tried softkeyz a while back and had all kinds of issues with my phone rebooting after I installed it. I have a backup and can try it again.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Plouffr:
I bought a Moto 4G few days ago and I feel like it has a strange behaviour.

My problem is that the phone is not handling multitasking as I would expect it to.

Some examples:

- I use Chrome as web browser. Each time I switch between tabs, the tabs are refreshed.

So if I am writing something in a form and need to check something in a other tab, then when I'll come back to the form the text I typed is lost with the refresh.

- I have the same problem with forms inside apps. I wanted to sell something using a classified ads app. And I experienced the same. I switched on chrome to check the spec.

When I switched back to my ad, the app completely restarted!

- I don't play often but I tried to see what the phone is capable of. I tried with Plants VS Zombies. And it is the same. If I switched back and forth the game will restart.

To sum up, I feel like the multitasking on my Moto G is only remembering the list of apps in use and restart them when needed!

I read that this may be due to a lack of RAM (the Moto G has 1Go of RAM). But I never experienced that with an old Galaxy S with Cyanogen ICS (512Mo RAM), nor with a more recent Nexus 4 with KitKat or older releases (2Go of RAM).

So I just made few tests:

- The classified ads app + chrome with with *one* tab + the task manager => no problem when switching (and the phone has ~300Mo of free RAM)

- The classified ads app + chrome with with *two* tabs + the task manager => apps are cached and refreshed if needed (and the phone has ~300Mo of free RAM)

- A game + the classified ads app + chrome with with *two* tabs + the task manager => apps are cached and refreshed if needed (and the phone **still** has ~300Mo of free RAM!!!)

I feel like the hardware of the Moto G is exactly what I need.

So do you think that this behaviour is due to a specific issue of my Moto 4G or it will be the same with any other one.

At the moment I think the problem comes from Android. But since the phone is praised everywhere on the internet I don't understand.

I feel like Google completely screwed up their last release of android (It is another problem but they probably destroyed the battery of my Nexus 4 with Kitkat).

I can't understand why a phone like this shouldn't be capable of real multitasking.

Depending on your answers I'll sent back my Moto 4G or not!

Thank you for your help.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @SidDev:
this problem might be in chrome browser as I face same issue in moto e.

Do you have a lot of apps already installed?

as they eat ram even if you don't open them.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Plouffr:
I think the problem is both with apps and the android itself.

I noticed that some apps use a lot of RAM (Facebook 50Mo on idle WTF?!), and almost no matter what I do (I stopped a lot of RAM consuming apps) chrome is cached. That is why I think that android should be able to understand that when you are writting something in a form you can't cache the apps unless it is absolutely mandatory...

What I don't understand is the fact that I don't feel like I am a heavy user of smartphone. It just the classics:

Gmail + Outlook, Facebook + Messenger, Chrome, GMaps mainly.

And this kind of usage is absolutely seemless on Nexus 4, was also seemless on the Galaxy S (that was a second hand one!).

On the Moto G it is not seemless. That is why I am puzzled.

No other users face these kind of problems?

The included GAPPS doesnt work with 20140826, it is a 4.4.2 GAPPS, the rom is 4.4.4

I found a 4.4.4 GAPPS and installed that. I wiped factory/wiped cache/davlik, and when the phone comes up,

it asks "Do you want to set up a google account" but if I click "set up google account" the button bar flashes but

nothing happens
