the screen is great, really nice to view and all. speaker wise decent but being only at the bottom, back. it's rather imbalanced for landscape orientation gaming.

the top part of the heats up, and it's the only place being hot. not surprising, this is the 3rd Intel based mobile device I use and lag is not uncommon.

what I really dislike is the design, it's nice to view - it's really sleek and stylish but in terms of comfort, it's just not there. the edged corners make holding uncomfortable.

wonder is there any multitasking app that can be installed to the k900
like the MultiWindow on Samsung Galaxy Note 2

Same here.. that multiwindow capability is just too attractive.. one of the reason i consider a samsung phone b4 opting to k900..

Does anyone uses a powerbank to charge your k900?

Tried my friends powerbank with 2amp output today to charge my k900 but it is a bit slow. When he uses it to charge his note 2, it is fast. It must be something to do v the circuit design since our charger is rated at 5.2v output instead of the common 5v for every other phablet n tablet.

Plan to buy a pineng powerbank but i am not sure if it can work nicely with k900~

Yes, Intel devices seem sluggish.

I also have used the Acer Liquid C1 and Asus Fonepad. All exhibited some form of lag.

The K900 for example, if you play games like Asphalt 7. You'll see that on scenes where there are no competitor cars, it goes really super fast (Framerate) but once a few other cars come into the scene, it's barely playable.

Rather shame though, because the screen is so beautiful.

Nah, Android devices I use, I don't face the lag issues I had with Intel processors.

Just have to give Intel some time to work with Android (Google) on it.

For example, the K900 scored a little better than my HTC One in Antutu but in actual gaming experience, the K900 was horrible due to the inconsistency while HTC One on the same game (tested using Asphalt 7) was consistent.

My gripe with the Intel devices are the same across all devices, loading can be slow depending on game, some games don't even load properly, you can see some lag or sluggish movement on UI.

They have a powerful processor there, just hopefully Intel manage to deal with Google on the OS part to make it work well.

i got that setup from another video on utube.. coldfustion.. his videos are very good..

here's the link..
lenovo voxis tutorial

just follow the video step by step.. its quite easy to do.. simple.. no root needed(in case u r wondering)

u see, my frens very impressed with that setup.. its kinda match the design of k900.. making it looks more exclusive compare to using the lenovo launcher..

gud luck..

yup.. need to download few things..
nova launcher
relaunch (the side one, swipe to make the choices of apps appear..)
uccw (widgets use, unless u want to use other widgets..)
power toggle
multipicturelive wallpaper
voxis setup pack (link given by coldfustion on his video, refer there)

do note that multipicturelive wallpaper does drain ur battery a bit (like using normal live wallpaper, the diff is that the picture is not moving but it change wallpaper(auto) plus u can change wallpaper by double tap the screen and it gives some background color(depending of the wallpaper) automatically..

and multipicturelive wallpaper is a must so that the effect of scrolling between page gives that unique look.. also some settings in nova launcher.. (i've never test other launcher though, so not sure if it will work with other launcher)

I owned the fon~~
i must say the phone has very good built quality and design~~
the Camera & screen is superb~~

For the heat i believe ALL flagship fon with decent processing power heats up really fast~~but the good thing for stainless steel back is that...it can act as a heat sink and cools down really fast as well~~

The only thing i am not happy is the crappy software it offer~~
Im not sure about u guys, but i do experience a few very annoying bugs~~
for example, the vibration bug when typing~~and some glitches with the auto rotate~the confusing lenovo battery app~~some other bugs with the camera~~

I jus wish Lenovo can kill off all this problem and make the phone more user friendly~~

I just wished Lenovo release the kernel source with configs and support developers to develop Android AOSP. But right now seems like Lenovo US cannot do anything until the phone reach them, which is unlikely since this phone is meant for emerging or developing markets. doh.gif
