Hello,

I tried installing a custom rom on my Micromax A311 via TWRP but during the process the phone switched off.

When I turned it on it was stuck on brand logo. Again I tured it off & went into Recovery mode.

It bugs me the LG crappy optimisations!

The launching times of any app is higher than my S8+ and Mi Mix 2, or even my LG G6. It feels like a mediatek cpu than a top of the line Snapdragon 835.

It doesn't feel like a snappy phone in that regard.

What's your experiences and impressions regarding this matter?

Im using the korean version V300k.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] 20degrees:
Are you using any app disablers? Any ad blockers?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] CHH2:
Mine's pretty snappy. US T-Mo version. This phone has been pretty close to perfect for me.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Funbit:
Mine is very smooth as well (launching apps, scrolling, switching between screens is lightning fast). Korean LGM-V300S (SK Mobile).

PS. Before installing my apps I uninstalled/disabled all built-in stuff from LG and SK, and some unused Google things too.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ali Mirza:
Settings/Developer Options/tick on "Force GPU Rendering" should make the beast smoother faster. if root available try L Speed/Entropy/fstrim apps found on Play Store! If LG G6 gets Android 7.1.2 , the performance should improve smoother over Android 7.0 just like the LG V30 is incredibly smooth and fast due to SD 835. Android Oreo 8.0 should have faster boot times on powering up. LG flagships gets Oreo by the end of this year (November or December)
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] juand89:
I am trying to decide which phone to get. I use mainly my phone to listen to music but not sure which one has better sound, what do you guys think??
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Malle355:
I´ve got the Xperia XZ before the U11. It was a real great phone and it got a bit better sound on my heaphones. But overall im very impressed of the U11. Much better Camera and also a better Battery. I also installed the Sony Music app on my U11 and I miss a bit the ClearAudio+ Feature and the Stereo Speaker from the XZ. But overall I am definitely happy with my choice to go with the U11 cause of the awesome camera and battery.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] juand89:
Have you tried the DAC included in the U11?
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Malle355:
Yes I am using it with my Sony Earphones.

Edit: Do not missunderstand me. The Sound of the U11 is really awesome. I use the U11 daily with Spotify and I am really happy with it but I find that music was a bit clearer and more balanced with the XZ. This is my opinion. Maybe someone say something other and finds that the Sound of U11 is better. As I said it is only my opinion.

Hello,

If you have an issue with the original headphones, i.e. low sound

Hers is a tip

Just remove the metal cover the sound will be great, better than vaiper4android!

Look at the picture
[P8lite General] TheOldMan:
I dont think that the metalcover makes such a big difference. Generally the Huawei-headphones suck.

Even with the Cover removed, the Sound is still bad. (I tried this, because I dont use them at all so I dont give a f*** about them :D)

Greetings from Germany. :)
[P8lite General] Vinnipinni:
Well, your were just dirty. The metal cover doesn't make the headphones quieter. It acts as a dirt filter. Yours was so dirty that the dirt made the sound quite. Now, the dirt and dust can get right into your headsets, which will not only make them a lot quieter over time, it can also destroy them. You basically just damaged one of the most important parts of your headphones.

Clean your ears more frequently.
[P8lite General] salembream:
This phone is 2.5 or more years old ...

So your headphones didn't get dirt in this time ?

Are you live in the heaven?

.. AND YOU ATTACKING MY PERSONALITY WITHOUT KNOWING ME!

get out of here and eat cats or maybe rats in your clean heaven. bye.

mods: delete this thread please, thanks.
[P8lite General] Vinnipinni:
I didn't insult you directly. The last sentence was maybe to much and I want to apologize for that. I said dirt, this can be everything. Could be sand, dust, whatever.

Well done! You reached nothing! We are all proud.

[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] TLxda-d:
Hello, new to the forum!

I've owned since last year a Sony Xperia Z3. It was pretty good at first, but it became more laggy as the time went by and it often overheats when running heavy apps. The battery is still OK, but doesn't feel as long-lasting as it were in its first few months.

I wanted to replace it with something newer but less pricey, and I read about the Lenovo P2 a couple of months ago. It seemed awesome for the price, with amazing battery life (I also like that the SD625 is efficient and doesn't easily overheat [?]) and a great AMOLED screen, according to reviews. But I read it had some weird bugs, which I'm not sure are all software.

One of them was audio being out of sync from video. Possibly it was only on the YouTube app. Was that fixed by the latest update?

Another was the speaker sound apparently getting distorted after an update. How is it now?

They also claim one of the updates harmed the battery life. Is that true? Do you feel it holds a charge worse now?

There were a couple of other things, but I don't remember all of it.

Also, yesterday I was looking at some other phones and the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4x (SD625) seemed really nice to me! But, while I understand these are budget phones and thus don't expect it to be top-of-the-line, I want the camera to be decent+ and to my understanding, Xiaomi did a sneeky thing and switched the phone's camera module throughout the batches from Sony–which was said and shown to be the better one–to a Samsung and finally to an Omnivision one. I've seen comparison photos and it didn't seem too good, so the fact that they want you to pay the same price for a worse phone than the one early reviewers had is a letdown.

I looked at the GSMArena camera comparison tool and frankly, the P2's photos looked better than the Note 4's. I don't know what camera module is in the P2, but I assume the unit GSMArena used for their Note 4 profile is an earlier one, and thus is the Sony version. Perhaps they just took bad snaps or had a bad unit, because it seemed blurrier than I would have expected.

Anyway, sorry for the long mumbling and thanks in advance!

EDIT: Well, I now saw the thread with people complaining that video playback also started to skip frames and stutter, and apparently some unknown process keeps running in the background, causing this issue and draining the battery. Are any of these issues present in the available custom ROMs?
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] senseijtitus:
Audio sink issue is fixed with latest official s244 nouget update.

Speaker performs as best in this price point. Loud and clear. No distortion at all.

Battery back up is only getting better as custom kernels are also getting released.

Stock, I get around 12-14 hours screen on time on a course of 3 days continuous use. No charging in between.

Screen quality is best. Good media viewing and gaming experience.

+Extremely high number of cistom roms are available now for this device.
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] TLxda-d:
Hello, thanks for the reply! Well, from what I read regarding the possible audio distortion - it likely isn't the best at this price range, as many other options don't have this issue. The question is whether it (and the other issues often quoted) happens because of official firmware bugs and thus whether it is absent from the custom ROMs

I guess you're using the stock, so perhaps other users would have a more clear answer to these.
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] senseijtitus:
I had used custom roms. I am not using them as daily drives as I need to gestures and properly working led notification for daily use.

Custom roms available for P2 are almost stable and can be used for daily use if you don't need those 2 features I mentioned. Audio quality is good if u use Dolby Atmos or v4a.
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] TLxda-d:
But you did experience distortion from the speaker at some point? Did it also happen with the custom ROMs you tried?

And I actually have another question now: I read that it's better to buy the global P2a42 version if you're outside of China, but that many sellers take the Chinese P2c72 and simply change the firmware to the global one, then calling it "Global P2".

I can already see that there are band differences, and that not all of my local LTE bands are supported in the Chinese P2 (band 7 is missing, I didn't check regarding non-LTE bands). Are there any other differences?

And someone claimed that the 64gb/4gb RAM units are all by hardware Chinese P2c72. Is that true? I can't even find someone selling a non-64gb P2.
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] Sutcliffe9:
I'm on the latest firmware an have no problems at all.
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] debo12345:
Android.system and media.codec is consuming a lot of battery giving me only 5 hours of screen on time. Can anybody help me with this
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] TLxda-d:
Do you have the real global version (P2a42 hardware)?

What version of P2 you have? P2a42 or the Chinese P2c72?

Seeing how many different reports about bugs being fixed or not come from current users, it makes me think maybe it has something to do with the version of your unit and its compatibility with the firmware.

And I can't find any normal seller of the P2a42 version, what the hell...
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] Sutcliffe9:
Mine is the UK version updated to the latest ROW stock ROM and works perfectly.

---------- Post added at 09:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:11 AM ----------

Why was it discontinued in the UK ?
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] TLxda-d:
Well, the version sold in the UK must have been the actual ROW version. I can't find it available to me anywhere! And where it might be – it is sold for a crazy amount of money (and let's be real, it covers more frequencies but it is just 32gb vs 64gb). Why is this? Lenovo must still be manufacturing the P2a42 as it is still sold in East Asian stores, but I can't find any of them that ships abroad. Well, I found one Malaysian store that ships the P2a42 internationally, but it costs $300 already without the shipping and I'm from Israel, so they might not even ship to me (and they use DHL, which means 100% chance I'll have to pay an extra 17% when it arrives...).

It's really starting to seem to me like many of the complaints SOME of the userbase has is from using the non-ROW unit with a ROW ROM. Otherwise, I can't explain why everyone is saying they have the latest firmware but one is person is experiencing weird bugs and the other isn't.

And in specific regards to the frequency band coverage, I don't understand some of these Chinese sellers. Are they lying about the specifications, are they oblivious to the actual specifications, are do they just have access to some third kind of model? This frequency-support information for the P2a42 and then for the P2c72 came from the website pdadb.net (I found the links on XDA), and then there is the citation found on gearbest.com

This is some incoherent amalgam of the frequencies supported by either model, plus band 4 which isn't originally cited for either of them (though GSMArena does mention it, but it doesn't distinguish between the models and perhaps it's incorrect).

If you care about Netflix you must know that on this device you can only watch it in SD as HD would require better DRM certification which this phone lacks
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] philje123:
Bought mine from Three UK for £200. Updated to Nougat ROW.

Everything works fine. No bugs. 4G including VOLTE works.

Very happy with this phone. A bargain for £200.
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] hmedved:
So, you don't have any bugs in video playback? Like stuttering
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] philje123:
No. Video playback is perfectly smooth no matter where I play it from (youtube, mx player, vlc etc)
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] TLxda-d:
That only makes me believe more that the bugs some users keep reporting only occur on the P2c72 model, perhaps after it's flashed with the international ROM. Otherwise it's just a really inconsistent quality control on Lenovo's part.

I'm trying to get my hands on the P2a42 model, but basically no one is selling these outside of South East Asia and India. I found a couple of eBay listings and they're way too expensive (if it even ships to Israel).

Then there is one guy from the UK who put his "like new, only used for month" P2 for auction. He didn't enable shipping for Israel, but I asked him whether he will ship (in case I'll bid and win). He says it would be OK, but he hasn't returned since the morning with a possible shipping quote.

I never buy used phones, but I thought if it's the only viable option for this P2, in truly good condition and for a reasonable price, then maybe (the current bid is already £150, though, and I'm not sure I should go much higher for this when it's used).

What? This is weird. How can a device have the certification to watch Netflix but only up to a certain resolution?
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] hmedved:
I had P2a42 4GB-32GB version for about half a year ( 12/2016-06/2017 ) and it was great, no problems . Sold it only because the camera was nothing special. I now have LG G5se and have to charge it twice a day. Want to buy P2 again but with this bug i'm not realy sure if it would be a good idea.

Hope it only affects asian version.
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] Sporkyz:
You can watch Netflix on any device but in order to access hd and higher resolutions your device has to have l3 wide one security, you can check your security level with the drminfo app. This is mostly an issue with Chinese manufacturers.

You can still watch it but not in hd
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] TLxda-d:
Well, I downloaded the app and on my Xperia Z3 it says (under Google Widevine Modular DRM) Security Level L1. Is that what you were referring to, and does that mean Netflix doesn't allow my Z3 to stream in HD because of the DRM?

I don't watch Netflix on my phone too often, though I thought it possibly looks lower than HD – though it doesn't bother me too much on the smaller screen.

But I did google "Netflix DRM" after you mentioned this and some results about rooted devices not being able to run/download the Netflix app due to DRM change came up.

And does anyone know of some service, in India, which allows you to deliver an item you purchased from a non-international store to their own address and then they ship it internationally to you?

I barely find any options for a real P2a42, but there is this Indian website Flipkart where they sell it for a reasonable price, only problem is they solely ship within India. I don't remember how are these called, but I heard of a couple US-based warehouses through which you can ship (for example) Amazon items which normally can't be shipped to you.
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] razorsbk:
You can find the P2 on sale on gearbest for 208$. I'm thinking about selling my Moto Z Play and buy a new Lenovo p2.
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] TLxda-d:
Yeah, but that is the Chinese version. They just changed the ROM to the international one.

Check the supported frequency bands on a different website to see if the P2c72 model will actually work with your local cellular network, but either way they both explained how OTA updating won't work with the units they sell, and I think there might be a higher chance for the reported bugs to happen on these modded Chinese P2's.
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] razorsbk:
Oh, I see. Thanks for the tip. Didn't knew about OTA updates not working, I was just looking at bigger internal storage (64gb) but it's not worth it this way.
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] TLxda-d:
Well, on AliExpress they sell the same type of unit for about the same price, but they claim OTA works.
