I love this phone, its really the best phone money can buy @its price.
But like allways, there must be something there that must drive us/me crazy.
This phone losses 30% of its "beauty" because of the "touchscreen pushed makes CPU go to 100%" , losses another 40% for the "buttons working but the touchscreen freezes" bug and It wont unfreeze until you do a "lock and swipe unlock" .
So untill this phone gets an official update that fixes all the problems above (2.3, or 2.2 or 2.2.1, really dont care", I'm using this beauty just as a phone (30% calls and sms).
Additional notes: till now i've tried Pimev2 and now runing void (Thanks for your work Noejn).
What do you guys think about this ?

About touch-100%-CPU-problem - this problem have many devices, but unfortunately, as other phones have about 50% CPU when screen is touched, optimus have 100%. Anyway, this main problem should be fixed in 2.3 android release.
About buttons-working-but-the-touchscreen-freezes problem I have to say, sorry. I didn't notice this problem at all.
And at the end I would like to add ARMv6-CPU, which brings too many limitations, one of the worst is Flash player support, which we will never see
who needs flash for phone, flash lite is enough...

Some of the guys working/testing on the CM7 port say that flash works. Have you tried it?
I tested the ROM, but I can't seem to get an IP address from the router, so I can't install Dolphin to test flash
EDIT: And oh. So I could be of any help to this thread, I checked to see if the touchscreen cpu thing still exists, and yes, it's still there. Sorry :/
How could you figure that out since there are no 3d drivers and everything is supported by CPU ? I really hate it when somebody talks crap..

Hi, just wondering if any O2 UK users could advise on which modem works best for them?
I understand that it is trial and error, but if I can narrow it down to 2 or 3 to experiment with, this sure makes life easier!
I have just flashed one of the MIUI 4 ICS ROMs... any help appreciated - phone is getting very warm and gives me sweaty palms when I hold it for any length of time, and I just came across a post which said this could be down to the modem...
TIA
i dont know much but this problem happen with my phone too but now problem solved

give a try with latest NELP2 herd its gud with some uk users
kernal matters man
Sorry, forgot to mention Kernel...
It did this with the one supplied with ROM, and also with Siyah 3.2b3, 3.2b4, 3.2b5 (which is my current)...
No OC, all stock "default" profile, with the only changed option being the charging mode (but this should be irrelevent as I havent actually plugged the phone into anything yet...)..
Thanks, I will give suggested modem a try and see if that helps Open to any more suggestions based on 1st hand experience

I have had this modem since this was posted, and what a difference so far!!
I have not been out and about much, but on the journey home from work, for which I usually have 4 bars of signal, I had 5 constantly, never went lower...
Also, the phone is not as warm, and it may be a little early to tell - but the battery life appears a tad better too!!
Thank you so much for this advice! Ive been so pleased with it, I even flashed my friends phone with it too!

glad i was of some help 2 u ma8 in resolving the issue
Hi everyone!!
To anyone that owns the K900; can you, please, encourage or discourage me about getting it? What do you guys say? I love its design and size, and I like it's Intel's chip in it. I've had a Razr i and was great!
I've followed this forum months ago, but have missed most news about this device. Can you tell me if this device will get any update like 4.3 or 4.4? Any good changes in the last months with software updates? I've heard it heated a lot at first. :/
I'm most interested in using it like if it was the Xperia Z Ultra ha; media and games! Will it do fine? What about battery life?
Is it easy to root?
Anything you could tell me about how this device is doing nowadays could help me!
Thank you in advance!

Compare to it price.. It is worth to buy. Almost same as note 2.

- I'm using K900 and i would like to say: buy Samsung S4 or Note 3 or Nokia 1520, it's much better
- 4.3 will be updated this month; no confirmation for 4.4 (seem like we don't get this for k900)
- Battery life: it's ok, not so good but can last for more than one day with low using
- There's no root method at this moment;but the custom rom already included but you have to wait a little longer (maybe a week after new Rom announce)
I was a previous S3 user with "The Galaxy Project" ROM.
I love this phone. For me the battery life is great lasting over a day. Lenovo's battery power management tool works well.
You quickly become use to the size and work out how to navigate around it. The Lenovo Theme is great.
Cons.
- Occasionaly I get a slight screen flicker on the sides of the phone. Simply turning the screen on and off rids this.
- The phones speaker is very low compared to other phones I have used in the past.
Yes I would recomend one.

Well I got this phone a week ago, and so far Im loving it, I hv had iPhone and HTC Onex+ but this one is making a real difference, performance compared to batter life is great.
Do hv a small issue with screen brightness as it keeps varying by itself though Auto Brightness is turned off specially on dark colors, also screen kinda brighten up/flickers while putting in PIN code on lock screen, that could be a Setting or software issue but thats not major issue and that could be only me having it and I will check with my warranty if it gets worse.
Overall I would advice it to every friend around me to hv it over Samsung, Sony and HTC.

I know what you are saying...Especially the last page of the app drawer and the notification pull down screen.
I had the issue/behavior and for a second thought I have a faulty piece..but turns out, the ROM is configured in a way that the brightness flickers. It is perfectly normal and goes away with a new launcher/ROM.
Dont worry and you have made a good choice..I am super proud of the K900...

Thanks man for the reply, yes I thought so that its some settings stuff. For lock screen brightness issue I used KitKat locker from Play store and I had no issue, also disabling the Auto brightness helps.
For ROM I will try Vibe V7 here on xda.
And yes Im proud to hv K900 too
Does this K900 last at least 18 months?
Thank you for all your valuable answers!
The question now is: Does this K900 last at least 18 months without problems?
I have read too many comments at GSMarena that this device starts to give problems in less than 6 months...
Please, tell me if it lasts and if it's a good buy, I know it's powerful enough, and it's so pretty in design.
Thank you so much!

I used it for a year and sold it because of disappointing software, there are no updates available for it after 4.2.2, but I didn't have any issues regarding hardware, battery etc. It's a pretty device, feels good in band, screen and performance is great, but software side no Android updates and not much of development, if you aren't concerned about software side than its not a bad device else you can get a lot of better options in lenovo other than this k900.

I have two K900's - one's mine and second one is my girlfriends. I crashed lcd screen (my fault, I dropped it) and replaced it with the new one. The second phone got usb problem - I had to buy usb port from china and replace it. The cost was around 8$ so it was nothing. Now everything is working fine. We have our phones for more than 1 year and we're still content.
I suggest to install custom ROM with Android 4.3 - it's way better witout Lenovo Launcher. Clean android works faster, it has longer battery life and more free RAM space.
Hello all,
Just a quick message to let you know Microsoft has released an update to Dev 1. I have just updated my phone to version (8.10.12382.878).
Somehow there aren't any information on what has been fixed, but hopefully battery drain and heating issues are fixed. I will let you know how it goes or if I notice anything special. So far, the strangest thing is that my phone was at 100% before the update. The update took about 20 minutes to complete and after, my phone powered with only 28%... Hopefully this is part of a calibration that will allow me to have better power later.
Good luck everyone!

While not stated on the page, it was mentioned in the podcast that battery improvements was one of the fix's. That said, I've been running on it for a day, and haven't really noticed much.
http://winsupersite.com/windows-phone/microsoft-updates-windows-phone-81-developer-preview
i not notice improvement on battery life with update 1... same as before with 8.1... but my battery can long 2 days... only what i do is hard reset and set all settings from fresh (not used backup from cloud)
Gotta say 8.1 is amazing. Tile wallpaper, 3 columns and notification panel slide down and a lot more...
I haven't noticed a thing on mine...

i just recently updated to 8.1. and i can say that after my first attempt of using the backed up settings from the cloud starting completely fresh is the way to go. battery life was less than 5 hours for me at first. after hard resetting and starting from scratch my phone is no longer hot and the battery time has resumed to what it was before the update.
Am i only the one who is noticing minor lags around the UI after the feb update including few scrolling and wallpaper bugs on 23 Ultra?
Had no problem on my U1.
I'm noticing battery life isn't as good. Anyone else feel this?

You can't judge battery for a few days. It always sucks immediately after an update.
Should i roll back or wait for another update?

I just got my s23 ultra on Monday. Turn on phone and updated. I must say battery life isn't that great either. Once I start using my phone it goes down quickly
I haven't notice any lags after the update. Battery life seems the same as before. I just installed the update today so will see if there is any significant change. But so far seems that it's just working as intended. Still hitting 5+ hours of SOT after last a full day of use and 30% battery left no optimizations.
Seems fine here. Am on light battery profile
No difference here on VZW.
No problems on the U1 model.
No issues for me. If you have a few hiccups wait a day or 2. Apps do re-optimize after an update so let everything adjust.

Have had this after “analyzing battery pattern” phase. It was probably the play store update but as soon battery finished analysis p, it got worse
I don't get why some of you are only getting half the battery life that I am. I am Deaf so I don't do any voice calling. Don't have any games installed yet. And only Social Media I have is Facebook and Messenger. Other than that it's all Stock without any modifications and using Adaptive Refresh, Adaptive Battery and WQHD resolution.
The first screenshot was with Standard Performance Profile and Second was Light Performance Profile.

I'm telling you, was so average. Installed older release software, back to ridiculous battery life.

Look at the reports online. This Feb update has some s23 owners noticing battery degradation. Mostly previous gen phones updated to 5.1 though it seems, like s22 s21 owners

Hi, lot's of problems here
apps force closing
system notifications saying apps have issues
system restarting and going on a loop (not getting to the pin screen)
Had to go back to my prevoius phone until I figure it out
Chatted with Samsung, no straight answers.
Factory resetted it, still same issues, even on the instalation screen to pick language.
Anyone know how to rollback in a clean way to avoid warranty issues?

Regarding batery, wasn t able to check, but I assume it will have issues too.
Thx

Because I don't have a time machine to know what would happen. I assumed this didn't happen, but I was wrong, now is time to fix it..
Downloading update via Frija and will update on Odin.
The thing is I can't rollback, as I couldn't get the old firmware, only the new one.
I'll update here when is done.

Remember it for the rest of your life!!! All updates bring only bugs! No need to update Windows and Android! If you do, you will have problems. You won't get anything good.
