need to wait for me to go through 69 pages of info from V1

V1 only 13xx posts right?

yes, 1368 post. the point of opening this new thread is to organize the information shared by the community

wow v2 liao.. so fast !

Awesome..! Finally P780 official thread.!
Thanks to TS.

Bro Vios88,

Search for framaroot at Google... it is linked to xda forum...
As for the root and recovery flashing I think at pg 50 over got mention...

thanks for the info. if there is any mistake, please do point it out

S116 Official ROM that I have uploaded

TS can include in the first post .. includes SP flash tools and everything you need to flash rom

http://www.4shared.com/rar/VzjV3aHr/P780_R...116_130828.html?

getting there now only at page 26

anyone tried MIUI rom? it is nice but i am facing 2 problems:

1-the power off always cause the phone to restart, not power off, anyone facing this?
2-cannot boot into recovery mode to update any rom, so i need to reflash from factory image and root and flash again... What's the official recovery for MIUI? Anywhere we can download this?

Top 5 reason not to buy Lenovo P780
============================
1) Battery capacity is only 4000 mAh, so tiny....loose to Nokia 3310

2) 5" IPS screen only, would be better if its HiSense X1, ZTE Iconic



2a)The screen quality is horrible, my Nokia 3310 is way better even play Snake never lag leh
(How is the screen quality? Good or Bad? 294 PPI only?)
This could be the most retard question to ask, why? Because each and everyone of us have our own preferences,

some might say its very good (maybe their previous phone was 3310, Galaxy Y & etc)
some might say its ok/not bad at all (because they know that the price of this phone is below MYR900.00 range)
some might say its not up to their expectation (maybe they were using IPhone, HTC One X, Samsung S4,Oppo N1)

so its best to go hands-on try the demo unit before purchasing it

3) Only quad core, still Octa core is way better.

4) 1 GB ram, seriously? 1 GB where got enough.

5) WhatsApp not supported on this phone. [makes me wonder why MatShadow shared this info 2LinesWhatsapp]

6) Camera quality is better than IPhone 5/5S, Lumia 1020, Pure View 808

* dey tambi how much are you paying for your Lenovo P780??? Don't la compare Proton (Lotus Elise) and Bugatti Veyron

*temporary fix is edit the address field in https://www.google.com/contacts

MORE INFO ABOUT AP,Original & Authorised set.
===============================================
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/857577

AP = Warranty not covered by Lenovo Service Center,
Charging adapter is NEMA 1-15 ungrounded (Type A)
[ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_power_plugs_and_sockets ]

Original = since Lenovo is "quite new" in mobile phone at the moment (*as of W4 Jan 2014) there are no Replica/Clone/Knock-Off/Imitation units (*except dummy units).
So "at the moment" ALL Lenovo P780 ARE ORIGINAL manufactured by Lenovo in Wuhan, China.
Unlike Iphone 5, HTC One, Samsung S3,S4 to name a few.
you can google: GooPhone, HDC One, HDC S4


Authorised set = Charging adapter is "BS 1363 (Type G)" *[ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_power_plugs_and_sockets ]
Warranty can be claimed at Lenovo Service Center

awesome vios88! Congrats Lenovo P780 user

Fixed.

What is the ram capacity of the 8GB version ?

This phone got 2 Sim so why settle only 1 whatsapp?
So far I know only 2 methods to obtain 2 whatsapp onto 1 phone.
1. Root > create another profile in TB pro.
2. Root > install 2Lines for Whatsapp from Playstore.

I used 2Lines for Whatsapp and its working Great! With this app, switching whatsapp account easily done with simple click on its widget.

Video : Youtube

Maybe TS could consider sharing this info on main post.

RAM still remain 1Gb..

You have 2GB more at the main partition for apps... and another 2GB in the internal storage partition...

Thanks bro...
