Excellent phone! But too expensive for me. :/

---------- Post added at 18:42 ---------- Previous post was at 18:37 ----------

​

Hey I'm not already leaving you friends! Just shared what's in my head, the poor battery of this phone is driving me nuts. And I know that soon some guys will try to prove the opposite. But in real life usage a 2900mah battery on a 5.5" screen with a considered fast midrange cpu as MT6752 is just not enough for some like me who's using the phone almost constantly all day long. :D I was really hoping that some extended batteries for K3 Note would occasionally appear, but no luck.
[K3 Note General] jackgerald:
Aha okay, np, anyways just check it out, its got awesome specs, mind blowing!
[K3 Note General] 911-Future_Maker:
Do you have a changelog bro? I'm downloading right now.
[K3 Note General] kongha:
why not downclock the cpu to maybe 1.2ghz? I did use google maps/dropbox quite often at work and I had 40% lefter after workday and the travel between work and home (i9 hours away from the home wifi)
[K3 Note General] 911-Future_Maker:
Ulefone Power is a phone that I'm keeping an eye for a some time. And when I was almos ready to order it TechTablets posted his review on YouTube and he said that in real life testing with PCMark if I'm not mistaken the phone is providing only slightly longer screen on time than Redmi Note 3 Pro.
[K3 Note General] jackgerald:
Ohh okay, alright np, choose the best which suits you the most! :good::D
[K3 Note General] emptywordsss:
Not atm bro Can't find anything yet
[K3 Note General] vijayinani:
Can u share the zip with me too?
[K3 Note General] DanielDEV:
Waiting for the twrp backup of the new update.

Thanks!
[K3 Note General] olgutza34:
Correct me if i'm wrong, but the biggest power surge on this phone is the screen itself. No wonder 5.5 inches draws a lot of battery life. Tested in some games, tested as hotspot, tested in light and heavy internet browsing. Active screen kills the battery by far, even it starts to get unconfortably warm unde heavy usage, that doesn't kill the battery as the screen does.

Started to look for some experiments like lowering screen resolution from FHD to HD but no noticeable impact on battery life. Maybe another screen technology, like LTPS (low temperature poly silicon) might help, but this is another story. This phone was my choice and I am considering myself lucky, given the huge support on xda for this midranger.
[K3 Note General] 911-Future_Maker:

Multilanguage

Perfect work... Is it this ROM multilanguage? THX
[K3 Note General] anasahmad17:
Hi,

I have the S422 ROM that I installed through TWRP which had the updater script fixed. It's unrooted. The ROM flashed fine and I am now on MM.

I haven't rooted it yet.. I reverted back to stock recovery to install the latest OTA update S44 using the inbuilt ota updater but it returned an error at 24% and the device reboots with no changes.

Then I have manually downloaded the ota and put it in sd card renamed it update.zip and truer to flash it by booting into stock recovery. It remained stuck at 24% then it said installation success.

I rebooted but the device is still stuck at S422.

What am I doing wrong?
[K3 Note General] emptywordsss:
Calm down and Reflash This Stock Recovery via SP flash tool and try updating again

P.s. Download both files and put them together in a folder
[K3 Note General] anasahmad17:
Hi,

Update using OTA or manually?

I have just now flashed the recovery given by you.
[K3 Note General] emptywordsss:
disable USB debugging first and try with system update if u failed try rename to update.zip>copy to internal memory>Reboot phone in stock recovery and Install upgrade pack
[K3 Note General] anasahmad17:
Hi,

No luck, the system update got stuck at 24% and phone rebooted to ota update error.

While doing manual update it got stuck at 24% again and the same installation success msg came but I am still on S422.

USB debug was disabled.

[K3 Note General] 911-Future_Maker:
Strangely I'm installing the rooted 1614 rom I posted as multiboot and can't turn on wifi. Flashed stock 1614 then and all is good. If someone else is also facing this issue I'll remove the links.
[K3 Note General] emptywordsss:
Try THIS GAPPS But before For anycase flash the Patched boot
[K3 Note General] samsungandriod:
mate, your rooted 1614 does not work. tried twice -all failed.
[K3 Note General] 911-Future_Maker:
Guys I discovered that the wifi switch not working problem is not related to the modded 1614 version, but to the latest DualBoot app build. Went back to an older build and all is good. So far I like the 1614 vibeui 3.1 :)

---------- Post added at 16:13 ---------- Previous post was at 16:10 ----------

?? The rom I posted? It works for me bro. I was having other problems with wifi, but it turned to be app related and not a rom's problem. I'm using the rooted 1614 right now as dual boot.

If you want to try 1614 but this ROM is failing on you, you can download the stock 1614 from the official link here:

http://phonedl.ota.lenovomm.com/dls/v6/VIBEUI_V3.1_1614_5.294.1_ST_K50-T5_WCC8A4F65E.zip

Then flash the patched boot from 1608 [MENTION=270407]Post[/MENTION] #4019 big thanks to [MENTION=6026840]stone_henge[/MENTION]. And after that flash SuperSU 2.52 it always works for me.

Is the wifi draining issue only happen in k3 note or all mm base phone?

I thought s424 solve the wifi issue but i am wrong again.

Without this problem my phone can reach 4 hours sot while reach 5 percent of battery.
[K3 Note General] 911-Future_Maker:
Not related to all roms, CM based roms don't have a wifi drain problem. I believe it's a bug in MM Vibeui.
[K3 Note General] samsungandriod:
When i try to use TWRP to install the zip file, it first says ' no md5 found', then it display format system, and it keep going on for quiet sometimes, the last line of the message is 'unmount of /system failed: no such volum. it is the same way i have been flashed many roms, but only this one failed on me. what could be wrong? .......FYI, i wiped Dalvik/system/eache/data before installing this rom, i did not wipe internal storage...as i dont want to lose something like IMEI or other apps backup.

[K3 Note General] vijayinani:
Thanks a lot.

This update is actually failing in my phone.

I actually tried to root and installed twrp after installing the S322 update.

Is it because of that its not allowing me to update to S324?

Any workaround? Like deleting some cache or files?
[K3 Note General] preditcon:
It works for me also, but with mixed results. Besides ticking the three checkboxes shown by stephendt0, it started working for me once I ran a test (Tools > All Enabled LEDs Test). Doing additional tests may have broken it for me however. Despite having zero notifications, I would get the green LED immediately after locking the screen. Not sure what I did to fix it. Could have been simply opening Lightflow's Active view (so the app itself says there are no new notifications). Lightflow also crashed once after turning flight mode off (I have it on during my beauty sleep). Anyhow, once it works for you, do not touch the settings again.
[K3 Note General] k@iserex:
I found lightflow to be very filmsy so I just decided not to use it all. We can all live whitout LED notifications.
[K3 Note General] Bolumstar:
I think you should tryout the Indian rom (ROW ROM 121 is the

Latest)

I experienced similar issues like that with the k3 note I bought

For my wife. There are good aspects of VIBE that she misses

Like happiness index and age on the front camera but having

Used the ROW ROM over 3 weeks now she love the stability

Of the ROM plus no Chinese apps and we make what's app

Calls alot.
[K3 Note General] hitb73:
Hi guys,

I got a situation. I just bought the lenovo K3 note from a guy and noticed he already installed SU, so I thought it's already rooted. Then I went to recovery mode and accidently deleted the OS without any backup recovery. Now i dont know what to do. The phone wont start since there is no OS installed. Any idea how i can install any rom on it.

Can somebody help me with that

Any font packs working for our device, guys? :)
[K3 Note General] DanielDEV:
As promised I checked the Nexus rom (5.1, dr.root)/

1.CPU: best performance so far.

2.RAM: mostly 1GB+- free.

3.Software: Smooth and simple(too simple, missing some good options)

4.Bugs: Nothing, no bugs!

5.Heat(while using GPS/Games/etc): This is the reason why I wiped it... this rom stop the "downclock" of the cpu, which results with bad heating problems.(Feels like its about to explode!) not worth it.
[K3 Note General] blonqe:
Theme centre

Hi guys can someone please upload the theme centre apk because for some reason its missing from the rom I'm on.

Preferably from the Indian rom so its in the English language.

Much appreciated
[K3 Note General] k@iserex:
I didnt notice that much heat in games to be driven to replace the system and my son is have a big gaming sesions on a daily basis. GPS is not a major issue also, I'm using Navigon and its all good here, no major heat issue. I did have heat issue but only when my phone was on the windshield and the sun was heating it up. On the other hand I have to say that battery is a bit worse then on ROW ROM. So that is my only con for now. So, I'm sticking whit it till something better came out. Everything I said is from my personal experience so what works for me might not work for you, so that's that.
[K3 Note General] DanielDEV:
Any idea why every gapps that I flash crash? How the dam I fix that ! (2.8 Stable version, with custom recovery and rooted)
[K3 Note General] neverhood11:
I always flash the latest version of Slim mini Gapps from here and it never crashes.. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=35756
[K3 Note General] DanielDEV:
Yeah I know, I do the same, but somehow on the new ST vibe ui it's impossible, dunno why.
[K3 Note General] vonuzu:
I'm using the latest st, and slim mini gapps. No problems with me.
[K3 Note General] DanielDEV:
Did you update to 2.8 and than installed the gapps, or did you installed gapps on 2.5 and then updated to 2.8?
[K3 Note General] neverhood11:
I did a clean install of 2.8 and then installed the gapps. Did the same yesterday with the new VibeUI 1536...install the rom, let it boot and then install the gapps..
[K3 Note General] uan:
Dude. Just wondering. Does nexus rom have the non removable "audio profiles" and "data connection" tiles on quick setting pulldown?
[K3 Note General] k@iserex:
It does! The tiles are none customizable. Bare in mind that by the looks of it this is pure vanilla AOSP ROM which don't come whit many options in settings page. Custom AOSP ROMs do come whit many different options and customizations mainly taken from CM base code.
[K3 Note General] DanielDEV:
Men, the solution was wiping with tita. Weird.
[K3 Note General] Pe3ball:
Try these gapps here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934548933 . They work flawlessly with every rom i installed.Now i am with 1535 stable .
[K3 Note General] xDEV007:
Hey Guys:)

I thought I would share this SUPER EASY method to installing the basic GAPPS (Google Play Services, Framework, Google Play Store) without any force close issues or any errors. The VIBEUI stock roms listed don't come with any gapps installed already which leads to flashing one of the GAPPS options however when I tried flashing them I got issues with the phone not going pass the setup wizard due to a WLAN error or if it did go through using a different GAPPS then it would keep force closing. So this method avoids all of that headache and works perfectly up to VIBEUI_V3.0_1604 (I tested it) and with all the older versions till Android 5.0 I think. This also might work with the latest VIBEUI_V3.5 but I Haven't tested it yet.

Here's how to do it:

1. Download this Zip file

2. Place the file onto the phone's root of internal storage

3. After flashing any stock rom (and flashing the patched boot image for MM) directly flash this zip (Using TWRP)

4.Reboot phone as usual and VOILA! You have google play store and google play services installed. All you need to do is login to your google account, open the play store and install any other google apps you want.

I hope you found this useful. Let me know if this works for you as well.

Note: Remember it doesn't install all the google apps, only the play store and the necessary services for it to work. It obviously enables you to be able to add a google account and all of that.
[K3 Note General] srgudhka:
It's failing in mine too cause it's rooted. I tried unrooting and flashing custom recovery and then updating. It failed. Then I tried editing the updater script file in ota and still it's gives me twrp error 7

Can you install the full rom and see if you still get problem with wifi? anyone installed full rom?
[K3 Note General] oldfold:
No problem with wifi here. Installed the untouched ROM flashed gapps, SU and xposed
[K3 Note General] oldfold:
Check the battery performance on ROW 424 below . I also don't understand why the Wi-Fi is draining this much. I believe the battery performance would be amazing without the problem.
[K3 Note General] 911-Future_Maker:
Installed, no wifi problem as I said it was related to the dualboot app I'm using.

Is there any Nvram Error? :confused: :fingers-crossed:
[K3 Note General] Phat Phreddy:
Is not one else having issues when S424 fails to re-establish a data connection..

I am having to power cycle each time I leave my home wifi zone or data wont come on.
[K3 Note General] nejcov:
I am on S424 ROW, and still have problems with scheduled power. I set power off at 23h and power on at 7 am. At 23 pm it power off ,but did not power on at 7am.

Also double tap to wake is working , but not working double tap to sleep. Anyone figured out this yet?
[K3 Note General] 911-Future_Maker:
No, I think. Not sure if my second router was running yesterday because when it's on I have the nvram error, but I can confirm this 100% when I go home today after a few hours.

---------- Post added at 11:49 ---------- Previous post was at 11:46 ----------

If I'm not mistaken bro double tap to sleep is implemented only in the CN VibeUI roms. Not a huge fan of the ROW vibeui, but the last time I was using it for a while (ROW 422) I didn't find any option for this.
[K3 Note General] hackerpower:
No NVRam wifi error, up to date patched boot.img, i might give this one a try and maybe do a TWRP backup.

The only thing now is the battery drain when wifi is on, is this established on VibeUI MM roms?

Offtopic: Have you guys seen this?

Goodbye tapatalk and it has xposed repo too, updates apps before playstore, news, wallpapers, etc, damn...Trying it right now :victory:

I also forgot to post my custom start and shutdown animations to go with my dark lenovo logo, here they are.
[K3 Note General] POQDavid:
[MENTION=6914308]oldfold[/MENTION] [MENTION=5048731]911-Future_Maker[/MENTION] Ok but what is this battery problem and what is the patched boot.img hackerpower was talking about
[K3 Note General] hackerpower:
1. I saw many users complaining about battery drainage whenever the wifi was on on the latest VibeUI MM roms.

2. For the phone to boot with custom recovery and root in MM roms you need a patched boot.img (permissions), everybody was using the patched boot.img from the old 1608, now there is a patched boot.img from 1614, up to date so to speak.
[K3 Note General] thisisNiK:
Hey guys,

Just wanted to ask, will there be any AOSP Marshmallow rom available for this device?

I don't like the stock vibe MM rom. So far, there isn't any rom available other than stock.
[K3 Note General] olgutza34:
Mate, check page one in this thread and look for Slick ROM or cuoco92 1609 stable version, I am running the last one and I am happy so far. One issue there, it may be because of dirty flashing, my music, and videos are doubled in both Gallery and video section. And of course, wifi drainage is a pain in the a.. if you leave wifi active overnight. Also, I think there is a Cianogen version for Marshmellow, not sure which one, did not test it so far.

PS

I should have read better, there is no AOSP MM, sorry. Both ROM's are VIBE UI based.
[K3 Note General] zbrix:
In my opinion the only two consistent alternatives to vibe ui (I don't like it too) are the CM12.1 ST1 and several Miui roms, getch9 I think is the best one (search needrom for both).
