#OTA #Nougat

P2's Top 10 uniqueness are:
1) Rocket-charge better than Qualcomm Quick-Charge 3.0.
2) 5,100 mAh energy supply with slim 8.3mm profile.
3) Reverse charging thru supplied micro-USB adapter.
4) Front-mounted always-on fingerprint reader with optional Android home, back & recent apps navigation.
5) Diamond PenTile Super AMOLED with 510 nits.
6) NFC for mobile payment and peripherals.
7) Semi-AI rear camera with 4K video recording.
8) One-key Ultimate Power Saver slider.
9) 86dB loudspeaker with dedicated amplifier.
10) Semi-Pure stock Android OS.

Current selling price is below USD230.

There is none "similar" to specs above. The closest are:
1) Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro;
2) Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom ZE553KL;
3) Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1/M2/M3;
4) Xiaomi Mi Max 3.
5) Motorola Moto One Power & G7 Power
6) Other Second Grade China-made models; eg. Gionee, Oukitel, Elephone, Ulefone, Bluboo, Blackview, Vernee, Leagoo, Doogee, Cubot, etc.

Almost all current P2 owners are hoping to upgrade to P3 but Lenovo has unofficially ended the P-series as of now.

There is no contender or replacement for this "state-of-the-art" at the moment...

yipee to grand daddy

P2 user checking in.

Been using P2 since end Jan, after my Lenovo S920 screen black out. So far so good.

One question for who upgrade to Nougat, does the "select mock location app" still available in developer options?

Still in investigation...

If ur current SIM card does not detect VoLTE inside P2, you may need to change to a new nano-SIM card... Does YES telco charge for SIM card replacement...?

Yep..


Attached thumbnail(s)

Think they do..

Doesn't matter anyway.. only use for data 😀

Very nice...

I took the plunge and updated to nougat. So far so good.

Thanks for confirming that.

can you guys shares where did u get the casing and glass?

Btw, when I hide the system buttons at the bottom my whatsapp emoji preview only two lines. Like scaling gone wrong. Anyone has this issue?

Please refer to my post #1 above under "Accessories" label...

It is definitely an issue after Nougat OTA... Worldwide issue...

It could be either WhatsApp incompatibility with certsin DPI or it is something wrong with P2 stock ROM...u can try to install latest or older version(s) of WhatsApp to analyze which version suits P2 Nougat platform...

Any issue for the new update?

As of now, only noticed with Google play showing uncertified.

Imo, it boost my sot, previous nougat was around 8 sot
Now around 9 min per 1% battery..

Also from MM to N, I am using boat browser and it was quite slow opening app.. I think d app not reli compatible with MM n M but it's ok.. still usable. Almost 2 years dun have any update for the app

But d latest N make it opening faster.

Been using Yandex Browser and never turn back anymore....

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...x.browser&hl=en

Thanks for recommendations. Will try it out

I still using boat cos it got gesture and speed dial bookmark
Like the gesture alot.. Very convenient

Only problem it's does not support bookmark and setting sync

What about accuracy of gps?

I'm doing UBER part-time.... P2 is no. 1 in GPS reliability...

Praised eternity....

It's 360° VR time....

Hi, if i'm usually charge my phone for two hours...but i fell asleep and charge it for 6 hours for the first time, will my battery capacity become more less then before...

Don't worry about overcharging P2. The battery and stock charger have the safety chip to cut any excessive power inputs.

You can tell by feeling the screen while charging. The first 80% during charging, P2 screen will feel slightly warm. But from 80% to 100%, P2 is totally cool as if it is not attached to power socket.

However, frequently overcharging/prolong charge is not encouraged​ as this practice may affect the chips inside the battery and charger.

You may use power timer below to avoid overcharging at night...



I would set the power timer to be "ON" from 4am till 6am. Meaning the charging period is 2 hours while we are sleeping.

where can i buy this? any trusted site or place?

This power meter can get anywhere...Tesco, Giant, AEON, etc... There are two typres; digital and analogue. Price ranges from RM15 to RM60...

Just ensure you know how to operate it properly... It's kind of tricky for layman or Average Joe....

Kind of "old" explanation...

Hi P2 user, I am still on ROM P2a42_S062_170117, in this 2 days, I found out my battery drain very fast. Just checked the power consumption detail, it is the google play service drain the battery without I on the screen, anyone hv this problem before?

Thanks bro for the input...

Can you share your Google Play Services energy consumption below:


To get there: Settings > Apps > Google Play Services > Battery

Guy wanna ask, inside the box, isit comes with screen protector and back case?

Yes as shown below:

Ohh because I actually saw a lelong post from SevenMobile where they sell Lenovo P2 [Ori MY] for RM1185. As you aware, the original price is actually RM1399.. so do you think it fishy for them to sell cheap? because i really really plan to buy Lenovo P2 consider it very very magnificent awesome masterpiece and suitable for me. What did you think? should I buy from the retail store or maybe go for the cheap one since Lenovo P2 doesnt have any AP set right? Thank you.

Here is it:

That's extremely high energy consumption...

Try steps below:
1) Reboot P2.
2) Settings > Apps > Google Play Services > three-dots > Uninstall updates


3) Reboot P2 & connect to strong stable Wi-Fi.

4) Launch Google PlayStore. Wait for 5 minutes for the PlayStore to download and update everything.

5) Reboot P2.

6) Monitor the energy consumption of Google Play Services for 48 hours.

I think there are several LYT forumers here bought P2 from them. So far nobody complaint...

The launching price was RM1,299 way back on December last year...but LeMoto Malaysia decided to jack up the SRP to RM1,399 for no concrete reasons....

Having offered price of RM1,185 is nothing weird. You may ask them (or show my previous pix) that it comes with free transparent plastic case and PET screen guard. If they say "Yes", then, you open the box in-front of them to check this two items. If they are not there, perhaps you can demand further discount for you to buy this two items somewhere else...just call them before you go to ensure stock availability...

Also, verify with them that the unit is covered under 1 year manufacturer warranty under LeMoto Malaysia...

Thank you so much Azfar75 for your detailed and clear explanation. It was very helpful , I'll be sure to remember that very well.

The service charge is RM50. Please remit this payment via azhar75@LeMoto_P2.com....LOL...

Hi all, any issue of latest update?

Thanks, will try that.

Just want to share my experience.. bought it a few days ago. Received every items in good condition.

*Price below including postage, RM10.


I'm in love with this phone

google play showing certified on latest N

That's a relief....

yesterday.. i received the ota sytem uppdate
after finished then there was this app optimizing and i just left the phone and sleep
this morning the phone is dead , i thought battery is zero
now after 1 hour charging, still cannot power on
no light and screen display at all
is there any 'force on' method?
the phone is 1 week old and never left the house!

during charging, the charger is very very warm, but the phone is cold

normal

Wild charging, is the LED notification lit-up in red? if Yes, give it another hour to charge.

If no light meaning some hardware/software is not in order anymore... you can try pressing for 10 seconds all POWER+VOL UP + VOL DOWN buttons to see it will boot up or not....

After love comes ADDICTION... careful not to fall into P2's trap of addiction to non-stop social apps and games...

Non-stop addiction for 10 hours straight...This is the trap...Be cautious ...LOL...

So far, those who received the latest 78MB OTA, don't have detrimental issues...

However, hard/factory reset is still a must if anything goes haywire after the OTA...So be prepared for it should you decided to proceed with Nougat OTA...

9 stars achievement... "Recommended" stamp... Praises continue...

Betul DUTA LEMOTO nie....

Luckily I don't be like Aunty CT with Vivo ads....LOL...

The latest S233 firmware has the following bugs:
1) Missed call Notification cannot be dismissed from notification tray. Either reboot or clear the Notification Log.
2)
3)

Just tried it... . no problem swiping the missed call notification away from the notification tray

Kewl... Thanks for confirming...

Lenovo also got same penyakit as Moto. Got good device but never really care on spending a bit on tv/newspaper commercials.

Yup. Just like their zuk z2

sometimes they promote on the fb page only.. but usually is those less than myr 1k devices

then again, if by doing this we get cheaper price without sacrificing d quality, not bad move.

let the wind carry'em by themselves.
slow process but pretty cost efficient

Just updated and did factory reset. If face any issues I will update here. I hope CPU use excess batt drain issue is resolved!

I've a feeling that the CPU Usage report is "fake" in Nougat. You may need to install 3rd party monitoring app like "BetterBatteryStats" below:



The app is not free but hunt around if you will...Also, it will work better for rooted devices...

u still not using nougat?

Not yet coz some of the apps are not fully 100% compatible with Nougat...

The apps that I'm using is related to my work and being developed by independent programmer. Can't reveal the app name(s) though...

Gentle reminder for heavy gamers...

More options for 5K mAh energy supplies... The Moto "E"nergy 4 Plus...



Moto "E"nergy 5 Plus will be LeMoto P3 next year....?

Extraordinary PCMark Battery Life test...

The latest S233 firmware has the following bugs:
1) Roaming feature auto-disconnected.
2)
3)

51% energy left...With 11 hours SoT... Should I change the tagline to "20 hours SoT is GUARANTEED!"....LOL...



This post has been edited by azhar75: Apr 16 2017, 11:11 PM

I tested, can't seem to duplicate it on my set. My roaming stayed on. I followed like the video steps. Anyway I did a factory reset cause battery life was not good after the update. After reset it was much better.

I'm on umobile so sometimes when no coverage it'll roam on maxis.

Alright... So after hard/factory reset, the roaming toggle stays activated.

But in his case, the roaming meaning it's connecting to network outside his local telco. Meaning, if we subscribe to UMobile or Maxis, if we travel to, say, Singapore, P2 should roaming with telco in Singapore automatically. So, his P2 disconnected the roaming feature which is a bug.

Nevertheless, this roaming disconnected issue applies to P2 owners who frequently traveling overseas.

Hi..May I check if Malaysia selling P2 with 64GB?

Malaysia and other parts of the world = P2a42 = 32GB only.
PRC = P2c42 = 64GB (limited 4G bands support; no Google PlayStore).

This post has been edited by azhar75: Apr 17 2017, 11:39 AM

So is that confirm if we buy out from Malaysia for 64GB we have problem with the network here?

FYI....



Source : www.frequencycheck.com

If u don't mind to connect constantly to HSDPA network under DiGi/U-mobile, then, it's ur call...bear in mind that you should also consider to port-in/-out to other telco(s) in the future...

Can someone affirm the youtube lip sync issue is solved? Especially the people who have this issue before


About to jump the gun but I watch youtube a lot so if this issue still remains it's gonna bother me

As far as I'm aware, the YouTube lip sync is pronounced in the UK/Three variant. Not just YouTube, other 3rd party streaming apps/services are also having lip sync issues as stated in the forum below:
P2 Lip Sync topic

My unit does not have the lip sync issue since day 1.

Also, there is common issue on the static interference noise in the head/earphone jack. This issue seems to be affecting worldwide units (on certain batches...) but the latest Nougat OTA has resolved this issue. Funny enough, my unit does not have this static noise interference.

Sounds good just placed the order
can't wait to join the big battery family

While awaiting for the "big" toy, get ready with "extra toys"...LOL...

All of the casings suck balls

Can try AliExpress or Taobao apps... casings galore in these two shopping malls...

Just get the TPU gel case as temporary protection while searching for your ultimate casings... but, P2a42/P2c42 casings is hyper-limited... P2 is not flagships or famous series...P2 is under-dog series...LOL...

Can register for Guinness World Record...?

the earphone static sound problem still persist even with the latest update...

Adoi still no good case eh...

Any review on the speaker? Is the sound output is clear n loud?

yes nt bad... but if u hold i horizontally den yr hand might cover both speaker

Tips of the day:

You can trace which apps are "quietly" auto-launch after fresh reboot using the Lenovo Companion app. Go-to Diagnostic -> System & Apps:



I was shock to see lots of "unnecessary" 3rd party apps auto-launch which eat up the 3.52GB available RAM...You can tap the "Apps running on start up" to know what are the apps so that you can take actions on those apps...
