Yes. Still valid because the Lazada website clearly stated 1 year local manufacturer warranty. You may call Lazada to verify.

I have returned and refunded more than 10 phones from Lazada before...

Return process is easy and FOC....

Automatic flash or manual flash...?

It's the diagnostics tests found at Lenovo Companion. Btw is the light just one yellowish light?

Sorry, I neither have time or knowledge to play around with too many things yet, So I have not tested the camera yet. Maybe tomorrow.

I called Lazada at their support number but somehow was answered by support staff (lady) in the Philippines. Said they could answer my question. Anyway they don't seem to be aware that can check warranty at Lenovo website. When I told them the situation the gave standard reply, warranty 1 year from Invoice (already expected the standard answer).

Anyway back to Malaysia, the Invoice came from a seller in Damansara (but the Item I bought from Lazada was from a different Online Name-Gadget Supply).

I called the Invoice Co. Number and the staff there also not aware can check warranty at Lenovo website. After I 'enlightened' him, he gave the same standard answer- Use Invoice date for warranty purposes.

But I am thinking, if anything goes wrong with the phone between the 9-12 mth, and Lenovo Service Center follow their own warranty date, I am sure neither the Seller or Lazada will accept responsibility, lol.

My kind advise is to call Lenovo Support Centre directly on your situation (follow-up by official email to them):

1800-81-7032 (Malaysia number only)
9 am - 6 pm Monday - Friday (Local time)
Email : smartphonecc@lenovo.com

Actually I was thinking of going to Lenovo SC in lowyat and ask the staff there. They are the ones who directly accept items for warranty so they should know first hand.

I have a question here for anyone who has encountered this strange situation before.

Today I was removing the back protector while the phone was in standby. I don't know if it was the pressure or I accidentally pressed some wrong buttons, but all of a sudden the phone reset into some sort of blank screen (something like DOS ) with some tiny diff coloured text (something like some program code). I think I saw the words 'Flash mode' or something similar.

Anyway there was only one coloured circle with the words 'Start'. This was the only option that could be pressed. So selected it and prayed very hard.

It booted back to the main screen, and I thought everything was well. But then I suddenly noticed that the date was showing January 1 1970.

I had to press month by month year by year from Jan 1970 to Sept 2017 to set back to current date.

Altogether I pressed about 560+ times - (47(years) x 12 months ) just to set back the correct date.

So does anyone knows what is this 'Flash mode'?

This is used by the Service Centre to flash ROM after motherboard is replaced... it's initiated with Power + Volume Down button simultaneously...

No worries... the P2 is fine...

And the stock acrylics casing is tight and not easy to pull out... but over time it'll loosen a bit...

Phew. I wonder why the date goes so far back.

I also found something interesting for those who encountered high battery drain by the Google play services after updating to nougat.

After I updated and reset factory mode, I also noticed the battery was depleting quite fast although I was just mostly exploring the features. The culprit was Google Play Services which used 20-30℅ of power. It was related to it preventing CPU Sleep continuously or something like that.

After my scary 'Flash mode' episode above, I did another Factory reset and now Google Play Services only uses very little power consumption, 0.6 ℅.

Keep my fingers crossed it doesn't trigger again later on.

So you have updated all the way to Firmware S244...?

Yes, only took 2 updates. All my previous comments were after update to Nougat (244)

-Waze sometimes got issue, usually resolved after reboot, lack of good casing support, camera so and so.

Hotlink + Netflix + P2 = Happy Hour.....

Latest news from lenovo but no P series.
http://www.gsmarena.com/lenovo_announces_k...-news-27140.php

At least they should continue support our P2 for firmware upgrade

Which plan ?

Prepaid Hotlink Fast Version 3.0...

What I meant was 98 or the max?

Currently I am still on Hotline 30 fast 3.0 and only using with 3g phone and old Sim.

All my free 30 GB happy hour and weekend 8GB 4G wasted because no 4G yet.

My P2 still in testing phase without any Sim, lol.
