Hi guys, just get my self this phone. Impressed with the spec vs price. However i have one issue.

When i'm WiFi, it seems the phone switch off the data (thru wifi) when ever it want to. Making whatapps unable to update. I connected to wifi most of the time.

IINM, all android phone behave like that... when wifi is connected, the mobile data will be turned off... correct me if im misunderstood you.

just want to add, Lenovo A806 equipped with location based wifi features, which is the wifi will be automatically on and connect if the profile has been saved before (even you disable/off wifi). It is quite annoying for those who are in the wifi area with login/landing page. You can turn that features off at setting.

can you post your build number... previously, I got custom ROM equipped with Gapps... but also comes with bloat ware...

my solution is flash official rom which is does not come with gapps... and install gapps manually... also remove all unwanted bloat ware... but word of advice... if you do not familiar with android partition and flashing... please don't do it... you may end up bricking your phone...

IINM custom rom comes pre rooted... just install clean master and remove bloat ware... you can check root status by installing CPU-Z or search for any SuperSU or any kind of super user apps in the smart phone...

its official rom not custom rom... same as me... you can remove bloatware from apps > download... just simply tick and uninstall... FYI, looks like your build no OS is not updated, do update if you want to , there are bug fixes and improvement... and also the startup sound changed.. not that super duper loud Lenovo sound anymore.

Current official build No A806 : VIBEUI_V2.0_1447_7.4.8.1_ST_A806

You may reply or PM me if you need help... smile.gif

Yup i am aware of it will turn the mobile data off.

What i mean is, when i connect to wifi, i will disxonnect the mobile data.

Problem is , wifi connection seems having intermittent internet connection while other device in my home is ok.

Already remove most bloat n google apps tho... Could it be the problem ?

Hi guys

I wanna share 3 fix for A806.

1.  Names not coming up for calls or sms

Go to Concatcs > Tap on menu > More features and settings > More display options > Matching digit numbers > 7

Set that and names will match for both calls and sms.

2. Chinese character under contacts for calls and sms

Go to Concatcs > Tap on menu > More features and settings > More display options > Location > Untick/untap those 2 options

No more Chinese character kohkoh

3. Ussd is cut half (cannot see full)

Download this file and flash it using twrp or cwm.

yeah all warranty will void... but IMO why using android if u dowan to rooted it... also i hate all the lenovo bloatware... so using custom rom is the best way to take control of your phone...
