QUOTE(nujikabane @ May 19 2015, 08:36 AM) Basically all apps. The phone hangs, and error messages like Lenovo Launcher is not responding. I switched on Data Plan (active), but it mentions that I am not connected to the Internet. I am at wits end now, and really appreciate any advise I could get. Thanks! Try backup your stuff and do a factory reset, and reinstall PlayStore and the rest.

QUOTE(nujikabane @ May 19 2015, 03:23 PM) Major thanks for the reply! I have tried to do that, but to no avail. The phone just won't proceed further. Anyways, I managed to solve the problem. I re-download the SecureIT software, and it seems that the problem is now resolved. It could be that the updates was halfway thru went the Internet connectivity lost, and that it is not downloaded fully. Thanks again! That was weird, isn't that Lenovo preinstalled bloatware?

QUOTE(plumberly @ May 20 2015, 08:58 AM) My kids play Android mobile/tablet with a time limit. Unfortunately, they tend to forget the time when they are too into the games/FB chit chatting etc. Like to know whether there is an apps which will start the countdown (when the mobile/tablet is switched on) to the specified time limit and then give an alarm? There is an alarm clock in Android but this is not easy to use for my kids and one has to set and start the countdown. Thanks. Something like this? http://www.breakfree-app.com/

QUOTE(Human Nature @ May 21 2015, 07:44 PM) For a tablet with call function, if I did not insert a sim card, can I still use it for it's android function using wifi? For example, browsing the internet and play games? Yes, Yes, and Yes. No problem at all. Is just like your Desktop PC that have WiFi build in, you can use LAN or WiFi also can or even 3G USB Dongle to plug in to surf or play games.

QUOTE(nujikabane @ May 25 2015, 11:46 AM) ^ Indeed that it was weird. Seems like the apps was in the midst of installation, and since it stopped halfway, the whole phone malfunction. Any suggestions on how to rid of these bloatwares ? usually we just disable those bloatware would do.

QUOTE(shevfa @ May 31 2015, 07:53 AM) Anyone using Tubemate. Can't seem to save video to external microsd card Maybe something to do with your Android Version, KitKat and above require root right to save direct to external microsd card. By the way, I use Youtube Downloader instead of Tubemate. QUOTE(mystvearn @ May 31 2015, 12:24 PM) Is Chromecast worth the price? If you often casts to Big screents or audio then it worth the price.

QUOTE(mystvearn @ May 31 2015, 02:28 PM) Thanks for the reply. Most of the time when I want to watch stuff from my PC on the big screen, I hook my laptop to the TV via the HDMI cable. I am not sure if the chromecast can do that? Use it as a local streaming device. I did try Steam stream service from my laptop to main PC. It works, most of the time, however there is lag. The laptop itself can function well without the stream service as it has a discrete graphics card, though not as powerful as the PC. I was thinking something like the Intel NUC or Intel compute on a stick. Install android launcher like bluestacks and control it remotely. That way I can use both PC and android if I need to. Chromecasts can casts from Android devices to PC only if not mistaken.  I didn't own one so pretty not much to tell you how to use it. I just found a local article published couple days ago on how to use Chromecasts: http://www.soyacincau.com/2015/05/31/3-way...use-your-phone/

QUOTE(enviro @ Jun 5 2015, 06:14 AM) Just want to check if it is normal for google play to take a few hours to update 7 or 8 apps. Some new app can be installed in less than 1 min so why so long to update? It is not due to my connection speed l think. I disabled auto update and normally update once a week. Thanks for your feedback. Internet connection issues.

QUOTE(nujikabane @ Jul 15 2015, 10:58 PM) Alright, the bloatware in my Lenovo is misbehaving. 1 application, I think it is the antivirus, is now in Chinese! That, and it has now started blocking incoming calls as well as messages. How do I either change it back to English, and/or to remove this blardy app from my phone ? Freeze it will do. Remove it might cause your phone unstable on VibeUI (from what I heard from others using Lenovo VibeUI based phone) So either you flash with other ROM or freeze it.

QUOTE(am3 @ Jul 22 2015, 01:48 PM) My friends galaxy young sim card, when I put my celcom sim card and use it, it no longer can recognize all other sim card, even new one. I can use my 3 celcom number in it though. My friend say this ususally happens to cheap phone. How to rectify this situation? Factory reset, flashing using odin malaysian rom don't work. Something does't sounds right, if still under warranty, try go for technician checking... Even cheap phone like Xiaomi Redmi 1S or Honor 3C Lite don't have this problem.

QUOTE(powerwoot @ Aug 4 2015, 10:44 PM) Just bought a new level entry 7" tab, Lenovo Tab 2 A7-30HC. This unit came with the KitKat 4.4.2. Basically this is fine unit but the only issue I am having with this unit is unable to notify me during the idle time. Be it whatsapp, messenger or maybe others as well. I'll have my messages when I click the app, otherwise nothing appears. Whatsapp itself is running at the background and I already put it under the whitelist. My only suspect is WLAN, in the setting to keep it always running during sleep doesn't work. The coming messages failed to awake the notification in real-time. Googling doesn't help much especially for this model, hoping some of us here able to give some suggestion on how to solve it. Thanks Wifi usually we turn on even it was at sleep, or you check is there the Lenovo came preinstalled those security apps that blocked your notification delay.

QUOTE(powerwoot @ Aug 9 2015, 10:22 AM) quoting back my previous post, managed to solved it but I am not very sure which action actually did it 1. In whatsapp itself I am set notification to pop up only when screen is off from always show popup. 2. In Security HD, gave permission to whatsapp to wake WLAN. 3. Installed Nova launcher and TeslaUnread, activate Whatsapp from the Notification Bar Watcher. Could be launcher problem I suspect.

QUOTE(dragontongue88 @ Aug 13 2015, 12:17 AM) Hi guys, so the power button on my Asus Fonepad 7 has malfunction. So I'm wondering is there a way I can restart the phone somehow without the power button? Don't have root on the device btw, and rooting it now is out of the question without a power button. So far I use a powerbank to wake it so that I can use it. But it won't go to sleep even when the screen is off, so I thought maybe rebooting will help. But can't reboot without a power button so far. Last resort I guess is to let the battery run down to 0%. But just wondering if there is another way? Thanks. Lemme break down: 1) Use Powerbank / Wall Adapter to wake your device, some device/ROM can use Volume Rocker to wake device as well, you can also use microUSB Cable plugged into your PC use command prompt way to wake as well. 2) Won't go to sleep is another problem that not related to your power button. Go to settings set timeout to sleep, but you can't do that because your power button is dead. Personal advice: Fix your Power button, it maybe just costs less than RM50.
