When your buy the phone now must get the China Unicom 4G version it support WCDMA 3G FDD 1800 and 2100 band plus TD 2600,so for 2G and 3G support all telco in Malaysia but for LTE only support part of Maxis and Celcom which is 1800 band, for 2600 band and Digi,U Mobila it can't support. The LTE speed for this phone is very fast ,I tried Maxis at Wangsa Maju can get 25m from Speed test. Pls do not get this phone other then China Unicom version because it do not support our network including 3G ,so if get this only can make voice call!

Hi guys!

Thank god I found this thread. I've been searching extra infos before buying the phone. From what I know, yes there are 2 versions of it. Both versions has LTE mode, but the 1st model (A808T) does not support Malaysian 3G (WCDMA), only meant for China's 3G network (TD-SCDMA). Do NOT buy that model or else you'll stuck with 2G network when there is no 4G around. The A806, 2nd model, is meant for international market rclxm9.gif rclxm9.gif rclxm9.gif

A806 support both Malaysian 3G and 4G




Beware, there are sellers out there selling the A808T, I've been to 3 shops, they wont let me test my LTE simcard. Hehehe thank god I saw sitescope's post. Went to I-Distribution in Low Yat Plaza.

2 ways to know which one is A806

1. Look at the back, you can see spec, WCDMA written there.

2. Want to double confirm? Sumbat your LTE simcard. Normal sim size, no need to cut to mini or micro.

If they refused, dont buy!


The salesperson, Sam, is super friendly. He said can try and everything. Call him up if you wanna get one.

I'll let the photos do the talking.

Final words, trusted seller or not, check the network using your own sim!

For my personal view A806 already can catch up Galaxy s4, the only thing not very good is the camera and build quality.But in terms of money it can buy 4 to 1 GS4(when S4 LTE launch last year)! To me pick from the above 3 phone at this moment will be 1:s806,2:Z5 LTE,3:S939.Because LTE network now haven fully develop yet, According to the Chine website S806 will come out another model something like International version which can fully support FDD LTE.

Hi guys!

Thank god I found this thread. I've been searching extra infos before buying the phone. From what I know, yes there are 2 versions of it. Both versions has LTE mode, but the 1st model (A808T) does not support Malaysian 3G (WCDMA), only meant for China's 3G network (TD-SCDMA). Do NOT buy that model or else you'll stuck with 2G network when there is no 4G around. The A806, 2nd model, is meant for international market  rclxm9.gif  rclxm9.gif  rclxm9.gif

A806 support both Malaysian 3G and 4G


Beware, there are sellers out there selling the A808T, I've been to 3 shops, they wont let me test my LTE simcard. Hehehe thank god I saw sitescope's post. Went to I-Distribution in Low Yat Plaza.

Final words, trusted seller or not, check the network using your own sim!

So, your set is single sim or dual sim?

I'm not sure but Lenovo had never put otg support on their A-series phone.

Can someone make a review (screenshot maybe) about battery life? How much SOT can get?

Hi, i just bought it yesterday, for my mum actually. But then, I feel regret a bit becoz she is a Samsung user before. So, im afraid lenovo ui is a bit difficult for her.

By the way, the performance is awesome. No lag at all. But there is some problem that I found so far

-difficult to monitor battery life. This phone doesnt have battery graph at settings, so need to install 3rd party apps (gsam battery monitor/battery monitor widget, but stop responding many times)

-camera is bad in low light condition.

-ussd code cannot expand (only 1 line when use *118#), so I cannot read the content. Hopefully someone have the solution.

-heated up easily when using video recording (hotter than playing subway surf)

Min temp: 28
Max. : 40

In the pics is my battery stats. Idle overnight and then heavy use with gaming, browsing and downloading

~rooted with Chinese twrp recovery

Have been using this phone since last Friday. Overall, satisficed.
Very smooth and responsive probably bcz of octacore.
Like its black screen gesture very much. It is very quick response and very accurate. Almost no miss every time.
Battery consumption is OK for me.
Drawbacks:
- Camera is not so good compared to other mid-range smartphone, such as Huawei Honor 3C.
- A lot of bloatwares since it’s AP set from China.
- Whatsapp used to be force closed few times.
- Phone and Wifi signals are abit weak.
- Very less options in Developer Option in setting, unable to turn off transection & window animation.
- Known bug: unable to show full content in USSD. But Im postpaid user, so USSD is not necessary for me.

But for this reasonable price (RM 519 I bought from SatuGadget), Overal it is acceptable.

Rooted with English TWRP., removed and freeze a lot of unnecessary apps.
Tried to installed latest Xposed apps, but end up bootlooping. Solved by reflashing a new rom.
Tried to search on internet whether any Xposed version suitable for A806, found in one Chinese website saying version 2.5 is ok for A806.
Might try it tonite after work. Please wish me pass the Xposed installation.

so how was the installation?

I also got this phone from onegadget. After spending few hours searching about this phone, one user from Xda Developer forum said this phone is not Android, but using Aliyun. He noticed this upon installing Xposed. I also noticed bad english translation throughout this phone and also spelling errors. Is that normal? Apart from that USSD bug, sometimes the notification center crashed that makes me to restart the phone since it showed looping error messages. So I wondering does anyone experienced same problem?

For those who rooted ur phone and intend to get full options in developer mode, here is the solution:
1. First of all u need root explorer installed.
2. Enter root explorer and open file named "build.prop" with text editor.
3. find a line called "ro.build.type=user"
4. change the "user" to become "eng"
5. save it and reboot.
6. check out ur developer mode and get excited.

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.

All credit goes to Shah Lantana & Najmi Nami

Anyway I went to the onegadget the next day after I bought the phone. Right when I hand it over to the technician (he even not check it yet), he said "software problem?". I was like wtf is every A806 sold on this store has that notification error? Then he flashed that phone to standard factory ROM using TWRP. After that there is no spelling error or bad english translation except that ussd bug and chinese character (Player Tutorial app lol). My advise to people who want to get this phone, right after you buy it pls take it to the service center and get it flashed

2 ways to know which one is A806

1. Look at the back, you can see spec, WCDMA written there.

2. Want to double confirm? Sumbat your LTE simcard. Normal sim size, no need to cut to mini or micro.

If they refused, dont buy!
The salesperson, Sam, is super friendly. He said can try and everything. Call him up if you wanna get one.

Regarding speaker of this phone, quite a few of us got problem with this phone. In fact when I bought this phone, there was no sound at all!! The seller replaced with a new unit. So far I have no complaint about the speaker. SO, after you buy this phone, pls check the speaker!

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

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.

I just bought the A806 from Satu Gadget. It says the Build number is : VIBEUI_V2.0_1432_ST_A806

It's got Google Apps pre-installed inside. However - here's 2 big problems
1. No notifications whatsoever in the top bar (calls, whatsapp etc.). When things come in it's just audio / vibrate
2. Can't make calls to the new phone A806 - but calls out is OK and LTE is fine for surfing ...

Can anyone please tell me what I need to do ...

And the solution to this was - to get them to up-date the firmware . Known problem OOTB for the ones they are selling.

It's working great now.

Just got this Lenovo A806 from DirectD (ordered online) for RM489 with tempered glass & flip cover.

Price for the set is decent enough considering the specs of it. LYN members had warned to get FDD-LTE set but as I ordered online so was unable to check the set before. The set that I got was TD-LTE, but DirectD says the set is checked & it supports Maxis & Celcom 4G and all 3G networks. The set is also pre-installed with all Google apps. services, play store, maps, etc. But sadly it also came with lot of bloatware.

Few issues that I have had so far:

1) No protected background apps. Open WhatsApp, Viber or Messenger, it will closed done after a few seconds and will not show any message or call notifications. Will only show notification when active.

2) One line USSD codes. Will only show single line for USSD codes, a member mentioned a solution but that needs rooting the phone. Have never rooted the phone, I'm reluctant to do that.

3) Lots of bloatware, draining battery.

4) No way to update the system. Members above mentioned that a system update is available, my version is an older one but there is no option to update the system in the phone.

So will DirectD help me with these issues?

Short answer, no.. Rooting is the only choice you have. Even if you can get system update, you will lose all google apps after update. USSD code can be fixed, check previous page ( already forgot which page)

So should not even think about getting a system update, it wasn't even possible in current state anyway. USSD solution is mentioned & I have read it but the file mentioned isn't accessible.

Can someone post that file and kindly post a step by step method to root the phone, posting a video would be a bonus.

Also can someone tell how to keep the apps protected? Locking/putting the phone on sleep closes WhatsApp, Viber, etc, thus rendering them useless.
