Q : So far when inside pocket does it on-off unexpectedly?
This app turn on the sensor intermittently or more like always On when screen is Off. Therefore, maybe..maybe use extra juice. Dont u think so?
*
I found an app called Gravity Screen for screen on off thingy, is pretty good,lots of settings to be customize:)

Btw, anyone knows how to change the default Notification Tone (not Sms tone or In-apps notifixat? Cz I've been searching for very long but i couldn't find a trace on it at all@@

Oh ya,how to determine the phone we got is AP or ori ya (sincei bought in a rrush)?

Install version 3.11.16, and the installed OTA p780 fix, and then installed the 3.11.23 OTA zip and flashed. I'm having issue with s850 modem so i change with stock v20 modem(s116 row build). Note: If you dont use V6 supercharge i wouldnt recomend much to use miui. its such a ram hog. 800-900 initial boot. after you installed everything, configured everything then use v6 supercharger. your ram usage will be about 600mb with lots of apps running. tested.

p/s : use google translate over that forum
*
I saw from this site http://en.miui.com/download-91.html is only Version: 3.10.18. Not sure is't official site. Anyway, Miui makan ram huh? I'm jst thinking to flash my S115 to S116 then upgrade to S119 tonight..hehe

weekly build. you cannot use miui rom straight from miui source if you coming from ROW. you'll brick your phone. you need a MIUI ROW version to use over your ROW P780. ROW use different partition
*
I see. I'm thinking to stick with S119 if it's good and take a look the V6 supercharge..hmm

does the phone feels hot when charging from plug instead of PC USB?

I notice it charge ALOT faster when direct power point charge compared to PC USB port.

When when I say alot, its like 10% to 50% in 45 mins. Then I feel the phone is hot, I know that heat is bad for battery so quite worry. I'm using stock charger that came with the box. Is the stock charger output higher than ordinary samsung/sony etc chargers?
*
As I know it charges faster when starting but get slower especially from 99% to 100%.

QUOTE(michael9413 @ Nov 26 2013, 09:47 PM)
Yes it is slightly hot cos the changer is pumping 2A while our USB is only 0.8~1A... so u need at least 1.5~2A to charge it faster...
Lets do some math... if 2000mAh battery need 2~3 hrs to charge it then 4000mAh how long? If they did not increase the Amp, hoe can we charge faster? Haha...
Opppsss u can go to SC n check see they say anything or not... remember to keep the receipt...

Michael, you're damnn right! hahaa..it's as simple as ABC:)

I am trying to flash to S116 so that I can upgrade to S119. I downloaded all the files in the link provided above and I follow this http://www.needrom.com/mobile/lenovo-p780-2/ on guide to flash it with FlashTool. However, Nothing happen. After I do till Step 3 (Download) then after downloaded then nothing else happen.

I've searched and read all the posts in V1 and V2, but I didn't find much solutions though I see some ppl manage to do it. Any idea?

(ps: Im also tried to flash with MobileUncle by selecting Recovery.img to do Recovery Update (in folder P780_ROW_S116_130828\target_bin), yet nothing happen as well)

You have windows 8? If yes,  please figure out to install MTK driver for Windows 8 below:

Nope, I'm using Windows 7. I've already installed the ADB and the USB driver for the phone (since it comes together with the phone so I need not to download other drivers). I even disabled the Driver Signature as the video shown. I've switch off and click Download/Firmware->Upgrade, nothing happen after the purple percentage bar ran.

Hmm...Anyone knows how to get this done? icon_question.gif

I flashed over Life Rom via flashtool. Then using life repartition to increase built in storage to 2.5gb. from there using the pre-installed TWRP recovery i install MIUI, MIUI OTA FIX, and MIUI latest OTA ZIP. from there I restore my backups. and the I installe V6 Supercharger from my comp. done tongue.gif
Tips. Turn off your phone completely(press the re button under the microSD.
Next, Open your flash tool, with the configured/recomended setting, press the Download/Upgrade Firmwire first
Wait until it finish load(if the file has checksum) or until the bar is white. From then, just connect your phone to your computer. without turning it on. just do nothing and connect it should work
*
I've done that (press the red button) and do exactly as what you've mentioned, but only white bar shown after the purple bar ran and 'Searching' is shown beside the EMMC at the bottom (as file attached).

The charging bar will shown after I plugged in the usb cable, is that consider off completely?

1. Factory reset the phone.
2. Try different PC(s).

I will try different PC first then install Lenovo USB drivers (drivers which come with the phone) and try Flash Tool again. Last resort only try factory reset:)

QUOTE(13th @ Nov 27 2013, 06:05 PM)
seems like a driver issue. try on another pc. or uninstall the driver, reinstall the correct one. I dont remember how to uninstall usb driver. It wont show on device manager, you have to use another tools, and remove any MTK-ish driver. and reinstall the correct driver via the correct inf for your device
*
By the way, which one is MTk drivers ya? cz I only install the Lenovo USB which come with the phone..hm

QUOTE(dwijadas @ Nov 27 2013, 06:31 PM)
from my experience .. the driver will go missing in windows 7, once the device connected at right time it will pop up.

I think your problem here is timing, need to connect the phone at right time.

Timing? Holy...playing hide-and-seek already..gg.com

Thanks to 13th! It works after I installed the driver!^_^ Though it said driver failed to install after i plugged in, so i re-plug the cable then the flash tool start running and flash it. Million thanks=D


By the way, I then root and repartition the SD card. I started to link the apps to have more free space too. However, I still get this message saying I do not have enough disk space when I run Asphalt 7 and Maps+Navigation apps. Weird....anyone experienced the same thing n have it solved already?smile.gif

np. That probably caused by sd card conflict. maybe the internal sd card(usually sdcard0) is full, or either you swapped your external sd card(sdcard1) to be internal sd card and it's almost full. just check everything and make sure there are enough space.

usually large applications are divided into 2 parts
1-built in storage as com.XXXXX.apk in /data partition
2-as OBB/ DATA files on sdcard\Android\Obb or sdcard\Android\Data
*
I see. I've actually repartition and combine the internal memory to make it have more space. My current Internal Storage have 1.15Gb free space still so it shouldn't be not enough of space right?

The MicroSD card that i inserted is mark as sdcard0 by default. How to do the swap ya? With apps or I shall just rename it ya (okay, that doesn't sounds right...lol)??

the repartition zip is in russion so i dont understand it. BTW 1GB internal /data partition is NOT enough. Try to repartition it to 2.5GB internal /data partition. I am using 8gb model and its working fine under life rom. waiting for the 8gb repartition zip safe to use so i can fully utlity my 8gb rom to data partition. this issue happened to me when im coming straight from s119 ROW > life > MIUI without the repartition, and the first thing it says when i need to restore my backup is that. not enough memory. i checked my built in storage(/data partition) and it almost full.
So try to solve built in storage first, then check whether you have enough space on your sdcard.

Asphalt 7 apks about 7 or 24mb i dont remember but it is quite large
*
Oh, I got the guide document from a member who shared in V1 so i just followed that:) Mine is a 4GB version so i can only repartition both (the internal storage and Built-in storage) maximum to around 2.1Gb (Total Internal Storage: 3.58 which almost half gone for system files; Total Built-In Storage: 4.98MB) So I am not able to further extend the storage size anymore since it's a 4Gb version sad.gif

I think that's normal because I experienced the same thing and I've asked customer service from telco, they told me need to restart the phone also (i'm using both maxis n digi).

'Can't create link: No space left on device' Failure message. Got this message recently when I try to link my apps. I've already done repartition and create external partition as guide found here. There is still plenty space left in my SD card.

Anybody have any idea? icon_question.gif
