I duno for sure but I personally think the so called featured Gorilla glass is more of a hyped than truly an ultimate protection from scratches. Read all over the web people complaining that their screen got scratched despite its gorilla. Should be called Chimpanzee or Monkey glass instead since just extra scratch resistance compared to others. One mega brand love selling hype like this.. gorilla to monkeys. Ha.ha.

No point having gorilla glass and still need to sp them. As I said, just call it monkey glass that still needs sp if u don't want it to scratch. Or maybe need wait till King Kong glass?

I'm truly happy with p780 screen despite rough treatment by my daughter daily. Still sctatchless. Oh, I never put my phone + keys romancing in pocket. I think its mere silly to think it won't do harm.

Some so confident its gorilla and some said its not.
Ur statement based on what? From manufacturing claims? Mind teaching me how to diff a gorilla than a glass screen? I for sure duno how....

When 'cock sure' I state, otherwise humbly say I duno and its just an opinion. Just my 2¢...

guys, im a newbie here..just like to ask...

after running v6 supercharger script and install MIUI V5 ROM on my p780, i experienced problem connecting thru WIFI.. secondly my playstore running smoothly but fail to download since keep asking to get a WIFI connection every time...

i try using internet browser, no problem since im using unlimited data plan.. ut how to tackle this WIFI problem?

i already tried UNROOT >> REBOOT >> ROOT again >> REBOOT ... but still fail

maybe oso my fault not checking the WIFI connection before installing the MIUI ROM

any ideas where can i start to take care of? tqs guys
*
There are numerous combination to SuperCharge ur phone and its possible V6 conflict with MIUI.
If I were u, I start with UnSuperCharge first. Check if WiFi issue solve.
If problem still persist than UnMIUI. Flash stock ROM then recheck.

thanks for the reply and suggestion..

then i guess only flashtool is the cure of the problem. but i still very new to this tools. For the few days  i tried to search the internet to install the mtk drivers but failed. maybe i dont well-verse with the terminology used and not so used with the instructions. i went through few bahasa and indonesian blogs but still helpless.

okay, i like to clarify what can i understand for now, please guide if im wrong..

for the most of the issues, all tutorial are
1. asking us to turn off the phone and remove the battery (how?)
2. open my computer >> right click on manager >> open the device manager --> ok i got it
3. connect the phone to pc via usb cable (how?) --> since my p780 already in bootloop... so if i connect it to the cable it come to bootlop again and again, so i need to use another phone to install the driver or what?? or maybe i still can use my own bootlooped phone?

so how to install the driver? any suggestion? rclxub.gif

help!help!help!
*
1. Just turn off ur phone. Press the batt reset button if necessary.
2. U ady got it.
Add : open flashtool and follow instructions as on page 1.
3. While phone is off, connect to PC and when phone restarted press again the batt reset button at back. Refer device mgr, right click the one with exclamation mark ( can't remember exact name) and install drivers (link at page 1).
All should go well.
Update us.

QUOTE(leoblinks @ Dec 14 2013, 07:05 AM)
Alright I’ve prepared this tutorial to the best of my knowledge. If anything isn’t clear do let me know.

NOTE: THIS WAS DONE ON STOCK ROM P780_ROW_S119_130930 AND ROOT ACCESS IS REQUIRED..

We’ll start by getting required programs
1. ADB (most important piece of this maneuver)
2. 7zip or Winrar
3. Lenovo drivers
4. RootAdb

GETTING A WORKING ADB
Usually to get the ADB program you need to install android SDK by google and that is quite a huge file. Head up to the XDA link below to get a working and light ADB installer

Working ADB thread on XDA

Kudos to the creator of the XDA thread @shimp208.
Once you get the installer from the thread above, simply install it on your windows computer.

GETTING 7zip or WinRAR
I guess everyone knows how to do this so I’ll move on to the next requirement.

GETTING LENOVO DRIVERS
Thankfully Lenovo already gave this to us. It can be foung in the built-in storage of the phone in the folder LenovoTool, the file is named LenovoUsbDriver_1.0.2.exe.
Install the driver file on your computer

GETTING RootAdb
Simply go to playstore on your P780 and install RootAdb. Run it and grant it superuser access.

After you are done with all the steps mentioned above we can move on to business proper!

DOING THE MANEUVER
1. Now run the ADB program you got and installed from XDA forum. It will open a command prompt window (don’t worry it’s very easy to use)

2. Now make sure you are running the RootAdb app on your device and you have ticked the box displayed in the app & it says “restarting adb daemon with root privileges, adb is running as root”. Now you can plug in your P780 via usb to your computer.

3. Once plugged in, type the following command line in the command prompt window  and send using ENTER key on your keyboard.



If it dispalys  a set of numbers & letters then you are good to go, your device is recognised by ADB. If it doesn’t then your Lenovo driver isn’t installed properly. Troubleshoot.

4. Next step is to type the following command line
This to enable you change from r/o to r/w. Very important.

5. Next step is to pull out the required system file from your device which is LenovoSystemUI.apk to your computer for editing . First create a folder named p780 in your default hard drive on your computer (drive C: in my case)  and then Use the following command.
Note that you’ll find the pulled out system file in the p780 folder you created earlier. PLEASE SAVE A COPY OF LenovoSystemUI.apk IN ANOTHER LOCATION ON YOUR COMPUTER INCASE YOU WISH TO REVERT.

6. Now head to the p780 folder in your drive C:. There you’ll find the LenovoSystemUI.apk. Right-click on the file and open with 7zip or WinRAR (I personally prefer 7zip). Now navigate to the following location in the archive

res > drawable-hdpi

Within drawable-hdpi folder HIGHLIGHT the following .png files (Ten of them in number)
stat_sys_gemini_signal_3g_blue.png
stat_sys_gemini_signal_3g_green.png
stat_sys_gemini_signal_3g_orange.png
stat_sys_gemini_signal_3g_purple.png
stat_sys_gemini_signal_3g_white.png
stat_sys_gemini_signal_g_blue.png
stat_sys_gemini_signal_g_green.png
stat_sys_gemini_signal_g_orange.png
stat_sys_gemini_signal_g_purple.png
stat_sys_gemini_signal_g_white.png

Once all files are highlighted, Right-click on any one of the files and select “Delete”. 3G/G network icon is gone for good! Now close the opened archive and move to next step.

7. Now copy this edited LenovoSystemUI.apk to the installation folder of ADB program in your computer (in my case it is C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot). Once file is copied to this directory, we push it back to your device using the following command line on ADB
Make sure it is successful then move on to next step.

8. Next step is to reboot your device using ADB. Send the following command
Once your device turns off to reboot, disconnect it from your computer and allow it boot up.
And that’s all there is to it. Enjoy your less clustered status bar! Share your testimonies if it works for you. Thanks.

How the graphic on this phone? Let say if play Real Racing 3 or Asphalt 8, any lagging detected? If detected, is it very bad like u just want to smash the phone to the wall?

My daughter's fav game. She prefer playing RR3 on my P780 then her S2 or 7.7tab. However, I must say that now she choose my A850 to play RR3 instead. A830 has faster processor and everything seems smoother than P780.

chances of battery in the p780 will die in less than a year is low. it is due to the fact it has 4000mah, most of the average user can last up to 2 days minimum. so you charge the phone less, by theory, your battery life should las longer coz battery life will go down hill base on the amount of times you charge it. i doubt the battery will be expensive, given the fact is lenovo. smile.gif

My bf ordered mine tru DoSaeLeeRa taobao service.

Ya.. I prefer hard stuff. Glass is great. Not those tudung lembik (sp).
I rather have mine naked than using these lembik tudung.
Almost anything hard is gud rite? I tot so..
Since u no extra, I keep mine naked.

No tudung2 4 me. I prefer one with helmet for prolong safe. laugh.gif

hahaha true true...at least its hard wont worry so much of damaging the screen...though mine didn't have the "hydrophobic" (*I tested with tea o panas*) but when watching movies on it I don't see the greasy reflection which is common if you use normal  clear screen protector. Might order 2 more pieces.
No agent sangat mahal leh... I got mine for RM21.50

Maybe yours more expensive since its "Explosion proof"  shocking.gif

Teh O panas.? Waa.. Hv nvr thought of using tat for test.
Hey, if u get to buy extra reserve me one. I also want test with teh tarik. Serious, pm me.
Explosion proof.. Omg r we at war.? Maybe next they advert 'Thermo Nuclear Proof' baru saya percaya.. shocking.gif


QUOTE(andrewhtf @ Dec 20 2013, 08:52 AM)
Lol, u know lah mainland chinese. Damn exaggerating one. Yup at about rm30+ include shipping mah...

Does your rm21.50 include agent fee liao? Since u are buying might as well buy extra and sell here.

Teh O cos that was the nearest liquid to me at that time. Sadly this glass protector didn't have the hydrophobic feature when water is drop on the glass screen protector.
how many pcs you want?
BTW are you using jelly case on your phone?
I ordered other stuff as well, if not mistaken don't have agent fee just RMB10 from warehouse & postage to malaysia RM10.50 for all my items.
I'm too lazy to go back and forth to pos office that is why didn't buy more.
*
Doesnt matter if its hydrophobic or not. I still want one. nod.gif
I believe glass have better touch feel to it compared to normal 'tudung' type.
1pc is gud enuff since Im selling off my 4gig P780.
And about jelly2 case, probably not. P780 looks drool.gif when naked.
Roger me if u need me bankin 1st as booking.
Looking fwd to have glass helmet to my P780. laugh.gif

MatShadow how fix the contacts phone number problem?

Eg. I saved +6016 7654 321 in my phone book as "Superman"
When I receive call it shows I'm receiving call from "Superman"

but when I manually dial 0167654321 it doesnt show "Superman"

same goes to

If I saved 0167654321 in my phone book as "Superman"
When I receive call it shows as +60167654321 not "Superman"
any fix to this than editing all my contacts with +60 at the front?
*
I believe I don't have that problem.
Btw, i cannot remember when was d last time I manually dial a contact number, instead I use phone smart search to auto dial.

Now,since u asked, i chk my contact list and c that most of my contact nos are saved w/o + (intl format)...eg.03xyzabcd.
However, when they call, I c their names etc. even to those with a + format.

I'm on UMobile & Celcom. Maxis also no issue. I don't have digi or other telco.
Duno how to help.. Sori.

-----++++------

Add : Maxis bad connection for past few days at my loc @ ampang.
Maybe this caused lag or regular disconnection to some. Tonite bit improved.

i'm having this weird problem where the phone will auto turn the gps on.

i've tried to disable "access to location" in the location services tab but some apps will auto turn the gps back on

i'm on stock rom P780_ROW_S115_130807

Also one more question, what's the default action if you hold the home button ? On my previous phone it will launch the recent program list but on this phone it launches the google search. anyway to change it ?
*
Just a suggestion, turn off ur GPS from setting and not from notification bar.
Checking what turning on ur GPS can be done from wakelock list.

Recent program via long press menu (left button).

2k mAH, not sure will it be more battery efficient than the P780

But its slimmer and lighter with better front and rear cameras

To be honest, the front and side view really reminds me of a HTC ONE X

All boils down to our preference.
This is elementary dear Watson..
U like design, lightweight, etc then go get it.
If u spend time reading posts on this thread, u'll know P780 main feature is an unmatched battery performance.

Hmm. I somehow think that the Note 2/3 is on par with the P780

I was able to get 11, almost touching 12 hours of screen time on my Note 2 back when I was on 4.1.2 on Perseus kernel which allowed me to underclock and undervolt.

I get to change phone every half a year, my phone comes with a contract so I don't really mind the prices.

Makes sense thou, the sub RM1k price vs a pro RM1k phone for around the same performance in terms of battery life.

Note 2 % 3 are gud phones indeed. They cater for diff mkt segment.
Fyi, some need 2 Sim, big batt, price less RM1k, and don't really crowd followers... So.?
