S650 display is clearly superior over A850. Brighter, more accurate in colour and better view angle.

Btw MT6582 pack a Mali400 MP2 @ 500mhz, not PowerVR 544 as listed in GSMarena.

Not sure about performance advantage over PowerVR 544 @ 384mhz in MT6589T, but surely play 1080p videos without hiccup. biggrin.gif

Sorry to ask, does the softkeys of S650 have backlight?

Using A850 now and the softkeys doesn't have backlight...

Is the battery removable also like A850?

Finally, can we install app into SD card out from the box or only limited to install in internal storage...

There's softkeys backlight on S650.

The 2000mAh battery is removable like A850.

Default write disk can be set to SD card unlike A850.

The lenovo official announcement
2014.2.17
近期VIBE ROM团队将会为已适配机型带来Android版本更新:

1、 哪些手机会获得此次更新,升级到的目标Android版本是多少。
已适配VIBE ROM的机型会获得此次更新;因芯片平台的不同,不同机型获取到的Android版本更新也不相同,详见附 表。

2、 升级后使用上会有哪些变化
Android版本升级后使用体验上不会有显著变化。

3、 此次升级后,VIBE ROM的后续升级计划
基于Android 4.4的VIBE ROM会命名为VIBE ROM1.5,后续VIBE ROM的更新基于VIBE ROM1.5,此次升级后,VIBE ROM 1.0将停止新功能导入。

4、 为什么不是所有机型都升级到VIBE ROM 1.5
VIBE ROM 1.5基于4.4,适配受芯片平台商的支持力度的影响和研发资源的限制,很遗憾未能将所有适配机型升级到V IBE ROM 1.5。

5、 什么时候更新?
部分机型最早从3月份开始提供升级,不同机型升级时间不一样,确切时间请关注论坛公告。

6、 未升级到VIBE ROM 1.5的机型,会开源吗?
正尝试遵循开源协议进行开源,和google的策略一致,不会对安全性造成威胁,发布计划近期会给出,请大 家留意论坛公告。

HI.. To all otai s650. I'm just use s650 for one week. Puzzled about the battery. The situation:
First time use after open box, data on, very light use, my s650 can last up to 2 days. But after charge (full charged), my phone only can last for 1 day with same setting and same usage. So why this happen, is it prob with my charger, or battery, or phone itself. Really appreciate any opinion from u all. Thanks a lot.

try again for another week. make sure you charge full 100%. and recharge back when below 5%. restart the phone after full charge to see the battery meter.

you can try that method too.
anyway lenovo phones have trickle charge. when your battery meter hit full charge, leave it for 5-10minutes before switch off

I just got mine as a temporary phone.
I got the Ori one.
It is quite nice phone with cheap price.
Screen color nice, bright.
Performance good quite responsive and no lag.
It is thin and light weight and the build is quite solid.

Only down side is the back cover is not easy to open. sometime i feel quite scary that it almost wanna break near the phone jack hole!!

There is LED notification light but it is too tiny inside the right end of the top speaker.

In short, it is quite a good phone for low price.

lag because too much background apps. if you just install whatapp and viber, it will be fine
no need anti virus or security app, it will eat more ram

i rather spend more abit and get better one like samsung or moto or xperia.

you can also consider huawer P2. RM999. tongue.gif promotion now.

you can also consider huawer P2. RM999. tongue.gif promotion now.

well.. what is your main activity for the new phone ? games ? browsing ? facebook or jus casual chat ?

My daughter bought this S650 yesterday at RM550, I believe it's an AP set. So far so good with good exception of battery usages if take longer hours of game and internet. Ok. since this set supported 3G/HSDPA, enabling the data connection definitely would dried the $$ at the background. In order to receive and make video calls, do we have to switching data connection on?

yup, seems the official rom originated from lenovo china, I should read this one before proceeding http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-Phones/...ng/td-p/1391071

The problem is now USB driver is for windows 7 and not for windows 8.1, I have to look for other device in order to reflash the rom back to where they are.

ok this is what happen when i go to s650 RM399 at Jalan Raja Laut

1) i ask the seller why so cheap - he said he buy in bulk thats why cheaper

2) ask the seller about warranty - he said local warranty and only cover for repair and service .. parts not included ..

3) ask either if warranty claim can send to lenovo authorize dealer like samsung - he said lenovo have no authorised dealer yet in malaysia like Samsung shop .. so better send back to him only but there will be charges.

4) ask about phone imei is it the same with the box - he said yes (unable to confirm because he didnt show me new set only demo set

5) ask the seller either this is AP or Lenovo Malaysia - he said not AP but original lenovo (he did mention about Taiwan if i heard correctly) and he said there's no Lenovo Malaysia because all lenovo phone comes from 1 factory .. only is it distribute to which country.

6) check the app and found out their s650 already rooted - he said Lenovo s650 default is rooted from factory.. he said this is direct from there .. if user rooted themself warranty will be void.

7) ask again the price is it RM399 - he said RM399 but have T&C and must but casing and screen protector so total is RM460 .. if phone only is RM440 .. he even offer to give me free car charger (cap ayam ofkos)

--- so conclusion i didnt buy it .. need anybody who already have s650 to clarify the details above ..
--- anybody buy this from directd or aaron .. subang jaya ss15 shop

after few hours meddling with flash rom, I am successfully downgrade the current China lenovo ROM S126 back to S119.
S126 is full of Chinese characters even we already set the language into Eng, No Google Play as it has been removed and replaced by Lenovo Store which is 100% in Chinese.

To be careful to not update it, especially to non native Chinese sweat.gif

Ori 1 year Ienovo warranty. AP 2 years warranty with the reseller.

Hardware is completely similar.

That extra rm100 is basically for warranty. Obvs Lenovo is more reliable and no probs with spare parts etc

Depending on the seller, the ap set may or may not be rooted. FYI directd will not root their AP set. Requested them to root the A850 but they refused

the most important things .. if AP the storage will be divided into 2 partion .. if original it will not be. if the partion is seperated it means the phone already been rooted .. this what the seller informs to me.

for hardware .. when i checked most probaly either batt .. or ram will not be the same like ori ..

this is my 2cents .. i thought AP and Ori only diff is warranty .. i thought wrong tongue.gif lulz

The VIBEROM_V1.0_2407_2_ST_S650 come with S650 (AP) from satugadget, so I don't have the link. I just wonder if any of you guys manage to flash standard Malaysian ROM (ROW) to replace this VIBEROM_V1.0_2407_2_ST_S650. Thank you in advance.

Wow, I can see that U got yourself an ROW version of ROM. Lucky U.

The WiFi is so damn poor compared to my Lenovo A850. Hell, even my old Xperia do better. Make me think twice about getting the newer S660, as the hardware is basically the same as S650, apart from the bigger battery.

Tested the s650 in Lowyat Plaza.. Overall ok but front camera too low resolution. If u use front camera this is not the phone for you, but if you don't use it, the overall a good budget phone.

the battery capacity of the S660 is what im attracted to.

i like to play shooting games like Frontline commando 2.

not sure which one of these 2 model can handle it.

Don't you EVER believe if someone selling you 2700mAh battery of the same size of the orginal 2000mAh. EVER!!!

Sun battery (among others) is one of those bogus claim battery, based on me and my friends personal experience.

Moral of the story, to be absolutely safe, stick with original battery.

Viberom got some chinese character here and there even after u switch to english. ROW don't.

As for the advice that you requested. I would say if you don't mind a slightly weaker wifi (compared to A850) then by all means, go for S650, because the phone is such a great phone for its price. No other phone (that I can think of right now) can even come close.

using this phone for 3 weeks now, took to Hong Kong and use for 1 week @ Disneyland and all, the camera performance there was great, the battery life is good, lasts about a day or 2 depending on usage, 3 days max without turning on data.

tip : once you change the camera setting to 8mp it will always stay at 8MP (good job lenovo) smile.gif

to those who havent bought this phone : please buy the ori set, i bought mine for 599 with original casing, the ori set has much better cellular quality then the AP set. i bought the A850 then changed to this, and so fa this is the better choice ( better camera quality and can set default storage to external memory ) smile.gif


ps. I'm just 16
you can ask me any other questions about this phone smile.gif ill be happy to tell you my experience with it.

I didn't really get your question, mind rephrasing the question?

If you're asking about whether the original set is available here, it is, I got mine at 1Gadget for 599, they have the AP set for 499.

If you're asking about the difference between both, the original set is a release of the phone specifically made for the country and warranty is covered by the manufacturing company (in this case, Lenovo Malaysia ) likewise the AP set is a release made for a country besides where you are staying, (in this case Malaysian AP sets are usually from china) and warranty is only covered by the dealer / company you bought the phone from. smile.gif

Hope this info helps, if this isn't what you were asking, you could ask again smile.gif

tip : once you change the camera setting to 8mp it will always stay at 8MP (good job lenovo) smile.gif

to those who havent bought this phone : please buy the ori set, i bought mine for 599 with original casing, the ori set has much better cellular quality then the AP set. i bought the A850 then changed to this, and so fa this is the better choice ( better camera quality and can set default storage to external memory ) smile.gif
ps. I'm just 16
    you can ask me any other questions about this phone smile.gif ill be happy to tell you my experience with it.

Yes, must switch to China ROM first, if you are on ROW and flash the Vibe ROM on it directly, there's a chance your device will not boot and corrupts your /nvram folder (thus losing your IMEI).

I suggest you go for light gapps, because by default the /system partition is almost full.

You must flash a China based ROM if you are on stock ROW ROM. Then only install the Vibe 1.5 through recovery. If you have custom recovery such as CWM, then just flash the Gapps, optional you will need to flash the SuperSU zip also for root access.

Did you try to root it before using vRoot? After rooted, you can install MobileUncleTools to flash some custom recovery.
http://lenovo-forums.ru/index.php?app=foru...al_id=&langid=2

Choose the first one (CN).

Else, method 2, by using fastboot:

It does comes with Playstore no matter you bought AP/Ori. If you wanna flash KitKat on it then it doesn't include Playstore but you can flash it manually.

Might as well go for S939 then. If you look that its dimension, seem like S939 is more compact than S930, while having the same screen size. Just a thought.

LoL the 3 chinese word I typed means Singapore... Especially you will see it in contacts.

It's normal that Chinese Vibe ROM are unable to display everything in english, even some are translated with lots of grammar mistakes.

For those who buy AP set from DirectD and wishes to upgrade to Kitkat, you must follow all steps mentioned above. Must flash CN Rom -> TWRP recovery -> KitKat.

Mine original rom is VIBE, but i was unable to flash the kitkat if following just 13-22.

Then i just flash to a CN rom, flash TWRP recovery and flash the kitkat rom. Btw there is a new rom for kitkat http://www.needrom.com/mobile/lenovo-s650-vibeui/ .

and dont forget to backup your room using mtkdroid tools before begin flashing.

For RM599 you should get an Original Lenovo Malaysia (sealed box) unit that comes with a unique casing as well as free 16GB microSD. Anything less is a felony.

My phone's condition now is a bit tricky, the battery has got some problem, after playing some games leaving it to around 10%, phone switched off itself and when i charged it from PC's USB, the phone which was already off had only 1 %, when it's 1% i cannot restart phone.

So i waited and later checked that it was 2%, can restart the phone, then just leave it alone and then it swithced off itself again.but still it charges up to 63%, a few minutes later, becomes 81%, i switch it on, it stays still at 81% for a long time and it switches off itself and show only 1% again.

Kindly advise me what to do and it's an ap set, bought this week, thanks!

Claim for warranty quick as yours still in the first week thus stands a good chance for a 1-to-1 exchange.

With all those deceitful wordings aside, AP generally cover up to 3 months, where possibility for hardware failure is very remote.

the casing is inside the box along with the phone right?

plan of getting this phone to replace my S3, and found this on Lazada:

good price or not for an ori set? (since it says local manufacturer warranty)

also for those who bought the ori set, have you guys managed to upgrade to KitKat? or is that still in development?

Yes, it is just a marketing gimmick.

Btw, do share you experience with your S660 in the thread below:

The price seem fair but you might want to have a look at its little sister S660 before you decide.

I just bought an S650 last month, and I must say so far I'm really satisfied with it software-wise. My ONLY problem with it is the battery life, and that's what I want to ask about actually.

The initial battery life when I first bought it was 44 hours (I know, I couldn't believe it but I swear it was). Whether it was fluke, I have no idea. But the 44hours at 100% lasted for at least 2 days, before I noticed it went down to 33hours at 100%.

At this point, I started using my old Samsung phone charger because
(a) it has the same amperage and voltage as the Lenovo charger
and
(b) the Lenovo charger I got was for two-pin, which is troublesome to use

Then, I got distracted with work and studies, and now I've just realised that it's down to 16hours at 100%.

I went to the phone seller, and he told me it couldn't be because of the Samsung charger since the charger specs are all the same. He changed the battery for me with a newer one, but it's still at 16hours at 100%.

My question is, could this be because of the Samsung charger? If not, then what, firmware, software?

My more important question is, can I change my battery with the S660 battery, since it has the same size and a longer battery life, or will this spoil the phone?

Weak sound? No, so far the sound is great. I mean, it's not dolby digital surround sound like the Lenovo S720.
But for playing music, playing movies, and playing games it sounds fine. Much better than my old Samsung phone.
Although it would be better if the speakers were in front of the phone, never had any problems with the sound.

Battery now is still 16hrs at 100%, but I've noticed that the hours don't change much when I'm not using it (before I slept it was 10hours, after I woke up it was still 10hours), so that means there shouldn't be anything wrong with the battery or endurance settings, it's just how the phone is.

Read up on replacement batteries, thinking on getting an S660 battery if it isn't too expensive. It's supposed to have TWICE the battery life than the S650. Anyone else done this before?

You don't need TWRP for this. No worries as it works just fine.

You don't have to do all that. You just do normal update.

You don't even need SD card. This is official Lenovo ROW ROM. So you can just update like updating normal Android with stock ROM.

My S650 battery (2000mAh) is starting to degrade. Anyone know where could I get the original battery at the best price? Thanks.
