I bought Nillkin here: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/NILLKIN-Amazing-Nanometer-H-Anti-Explosion-Tempered-Glass-9H-Screen-Protector-Film-For-Lenovo-K3-NOTE/32319213616.html. I've had no problems with it, though mine is almost perfectly fitted. Perhaps a blocked proximity sensor can cause lagging. Note that the opening for it in the protector causes dust to gather in that area in grater quantity, which could explain temporary problems mentioned by some.
[K3 Note General] saggel:
Thank you! I'll order and let you know how it went! :)
[K3 Note General] Armageddonn_mkd:
Yup same place, its the real deal, i accidentally spilled water on it and it acted same as in the nillkin videos.

On another note, how much system ram does the laste dev rom takes? And explain to me why is it better than the row rom

you can even check if it's a fake one through their site with the code that comes in the box after you scratch the golden/silver seal.

I'm close at purchasing this phone.. If I install custom recovery but need to have wareanty work done, is there a way to revert back so no trace of recovery/root was done? Do I need to worry about locking/unlocking a bootloader?

Also, I'm dying to try MIUI 7. I thought about getting the redmi note 2. How is the MIUI rom on the k3 note?

How is battery life with a custom rom?

Hey [MENTION=6887880]thinkgadgetsme[/MENTION] you can go to 1st page of this thread is option for flashing rom through twrp u can try that or else download the vibeui or lemonade or cucuo roms... I've also read ur comment on techolaty.com n if u can try to flash stock recovery n chinese vibeui bcoz maybe problem is with indian firmware .... Or u can do one thing unroot the phone n then u might be able to get ota from lenovo n then u can get s121 on ur fone .... Thnx
[K3 Note General] thinkgadgetsme:
Thanks for the reply. I have tried Dev ROM 1539, it is fast, debloated & everything but i was facing some issue (unable to sycn my contacts that i backed up at syncit application and some functionality redirecting to Chinese contents) with that so i am back to ROW ROM. Only issue i am facing with it is i am unable to upgrade it to S121. I have already tried flashing ROM using twrp but it failed.

Now i will try unrooting, flash stock recovery and than try to update it to S121. Thanks for the suggestion.

Have this phone for a while now, its rooted and running VIBEUI_V2.8.... but I'm getting sick of zero notifications for WhatsApp (over 90% communications through this app) Ive been away for a month and wondering if there has been any developments with this. The last thing i tried was IPv6 tool which didn't work for me. Basically at this stage i will use any rom which can give notifications. if none exist i will say goodby to what is a pretty nice phone
[K3 Note General] Alexey71:
system\build.prop

ro.lenovo.region=prc

ro.lenovo.region=row
[K3 Note General] hemeroidman:
Im not that smart LOL but ill google.

see how its done. So i change to above and i will get notifications? Sounds too easy. Cheers

mine says ro.lenovo.region (property value prc) am hesitant to change this
[K3 Note General] Kodaro:
Make also sure that you give whatsapp "auto-start" permission in the stock security app
[K3 Note General] hemeroidman:
well i changed the build prop from PRC to row. will check when it reboots

I remember another setting which needs changed so that the phone can identify caller region. Could someone point me in that direction of display caller location (have changed region to GB)

well i changed the build prop as Alexy71 suggested which hasn't worked for WhatsApp but i now get something new for messages. I can't find anything in stock security to allow "auto-start" for whatsapp
[K3 Note General] Kodaro:
After changing build prop you have to reboot. Here is a screen of what you cannot find. It's in dev and st roms as far as I know. Which of them are you even using?
[K3 Note General] hemeroidman:
Im on a standard rom which has been tweeted by hackerpower VIBEUI_V2.8_1532.............. its a TWRP backup. Probably need to update this first

[K3 Note General] hackerpower:
I have no problem in answering, i like to help, i just don't like lazy people that don't use google or search anything before posting nonsense.

The instructions underneath my post refers to the ROM's not to the OTA's.

If you can't spot the difference, so sorry.

Until now you're the first one that had such "problem".

Using SP flashtool to flash OTA's? C'mon...

Do you even know what OTA means?

How can you update "over the air" directly if you have to use SP flash tool?

C'mon use your brain.

To flash OTA's you have to be fully stock and unrooted.
[K3 Note General] hackerpower:
in VibeUI roms it's:

I'm asking if you have confirmation that worldwide delivery is possible. I just want a simple yes or no. Not a pep talk from 'The Father'. Asking is not foolishness. But its cool, I can do without a cover.
[K3 Note General] Honusnap:
He already gaved you the link .. do your homework.
[K3 Note General] ThisIsHarsh:
Hey all. I've done some googling and had a look at several ROM descriptions, but having to use Google Translate all the time is a pain, and I've not yet found what I'm after.

So, at the risk of being slapped for not making enough effort to search myself, I'll just ask here.

My perfect K3 Note ROM would

- Be close to stock VibeUI (I *like* VibeUI, and figure it's likely the most optimized).

- Follow the upstream DEV releases closely.

- Be pre-rooted.

- Have Google Play Store (Titanium can take care of the rest, once installed).

- OTA updates, or support dirty flashing updates.

Can anyone recommend a ROM that comes close? At least the top 3 points?

I'm currently on an older TWRP backup from this thread (thanks again Hackerpower!) and its been great, but it's time to update.

I see there are some newer TWRP backups, which look like the best option so far. However, it's a pain to go through my backup/restore routine for minor updates (or can TWRP backups be "dirty restored"?).

Any advice much appreciated!
[K3 Note General] oldfold:
Has anyone actually had a product delivered worldwide? That's the question. It's very easy for me to start a website and claim I can ship worldwide and the delivery never comes. It's just a very simple question. There's nothing about homework. Should I ask people who have commented on the site?? Is that what you mean?

---------- Post added at 11:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:16 PM ----------

I have been a great fan of DEV ROMs and actually still think they are great in all ways but if you would like to explore something else. You can try the ROW Lemonade which is also flawless and everything is in English although it's Android 5.0.

2nd option is the AOSP ROMs which currently, in my opinion, are being ruled by the Phoenix ROM 5.1.1from needrom.com (which I'm using right now) and its flawless except for the double tap to wake and led lighting which have workarounds with some apps and xposed. The third option maybe would be to go with the Cuocco, maybe lewa OS and even Androium. Another nice looking ROM is funtouch OS. But the first three are the best. Give them a try and let us know.

Is anyone facing problem changing ringtone using vibe 2.8?
[K3 Note General] k@iserex:
No!
[K3 Note General] preditcon:
Had a strange problem two days ago on Nexus 8 v1. When talking to people in a phone call, all of them mentioned that my connection was breaking up. I could hear everything loud and clear on my side, so it was not the carrier. Recorded some sound to ensure everything was ok with my mikes and it was crystal clear. Finally rebooted and the problem disappeared. This is problematic, so I'll probably switch to a different ROM come weekend. Anyone experienced something like this before?
[K3 Note General] bladez87:
I am using vibe 2.8 1542 but every time I try to change the ring tone through settings, it is not responsive. I keep clicking on the ring tone but no pop up appears for me to select other ring tones.
[K3 Note General] k@iserex:
There is no pop-up. You have "set" button to the right of the ringtone.
[K3 Note General] bladez87:
Not seeing said option in my phone
[K3 Note General] k@iserex:

[K3 Note General] Kodaro:
If you really click under sound settings on the ringtone and nothing happens then it looks like you deleted or freezed the Lenovo app which is needed for it. And nope I don't know which one it is. Defreeze all, reboot and try again. If you hadn't freeze anything I think you need to reflash
[K3 Note General] oldfold:
Yeah I am stubborn that I agree and that's why I'm in a forum to ask and learn cuz I am not as bright/all-knowing as you. What I needed to know is that that company is not in your country. Meaning they ship and deliver to other countries and that's my question answered. You see!! If you had just answered in one word 'yes' you would have saved yourself a lot of keystrokes. Thanks again.
[K3 Note General] hackerpower:
Firstly, sorry but i'm not all-knowing, no one is. Bright, maybe.

Sorry but you have no argument or point in what you're saying.

It's just ridiculous the explanations you try to give. (4 in a row, wow)

You most likely will get better forum support for the redmi note 2 than you will the k3 note here. I saw a good forum website for them, but forget it's name. Although I own the k3 note. I wasn't happy with it until I installed a custom rom to remove the Chinese trojans. I found a rom on another foreign website that I used Google translate to read. The rootjunky youtube k3 note videos are also far more helpful than on here for support, for the k3 note.

I probably would have bought the redmi note 2 but didn't due to the k3 note having many more case choices.

I'm leaning towards the lk3n cause i can buy it from Amazon, and have some credit.. But my worry also is if something were go go wrong with the device, rma or replacement will be difficult
[K3 Note General] k@iserex:
Every RMA is difficult when buying abroad and online, so its something that you have to be prepare and deal with it when the time comes, it shouldn't be a show stopper. LK3N is a very good device in terms of performance, display and battery life is solid. Lenovo is actually doing a very good job in ROM development so that is a good point to consider. All and all, I was LG G3 user before Lenovo come to play and I have to say it performs pretty much the same, but Lenovo has this vibe that I like the most: cheap phone amazing performance, ultra best-buy, its something totally appealing to me when I cash a fragment of amount of expensive item and get very similar experience whit way cheaper one ?:) Thats Lenovo K3 Note ?

There are many custom roms based on the Chinese without bloatware, with gapps and with languages.

Hi,

I got my K3 note today and after checking that if booted ok I tried to install TWRP with SP flashtools. This resulted in a brick.

I have been able to program this ROM http://www.needrom.com/download/lenovo-k50-t5/ with SP flashtools but phone is still a brick. Backlight does not come on but I can see the Lenovo logo in certain lightning. Phone vibrates every few minute and reboots.

I have flashed a lot of phones tens of times previously but this is my first MediaTek device. Could anyone please help, I don't know what to try now?
[K3 Note General] psarogen:
It's really difficult to hard brick this phone.. You need to flash a fresh rom with spflashtool. If you can't do that I think you are in a bad situation.
[K3 Note General] galaxoid:
Any suggestions which ROM should I try to flash with SP flashtool?

I tried also ROW S112_150610_ROW without luck.

When I plugin the phone to PC I can see the preloader com port. If there's no SP Flashtool running phone goes to download mode few seconds later and then the screen is visible. An if SP Flashtool is running it always can program the phone. It's just that whenever I try to normally boot screen stays off (at least backlight, I can see Lenovo logo in the background under bright light. And the phone is in some kind of bootloop as it vibrares every few minutes.

Things are not starting well in the MTK world, brick in under 30 minutes after unpacking the phone. Anybody can beat that?
[K3 Note General] preditcon:
I don't use SP Flash tool, but remember reading a common mistake is forgetting to check the "DA DL All with Checksum" option before flashing. http://xdaforums.com/android/help/how-to-root-lenovo-k3-note-t3098349/page3

SP Flashtool v5.1516.00 has options DA DL All with Checksum "USB Checksum" and "EMMC checksum". I tried enabling both of those without help. This was in Windows 7 PC.

Then I tried older SP Flashtool v5.1436.0 in Windows 10 PC. This tool has only one option "DA DL All with Checksum" which I selected. And with this combination flashing was successful and Phone is now booting OK.
