This tab looks really good! Can it actually make phone calls? (voice calls/ gsm calls) If it can (and it has the proper earspeaker), then I could see this being my primary phone. I only ever make calls around once a month anyway. TLDR; Can this tablet make phone calls like a normal phone?

This case looks interesting and looks like it might be waterproof. Have you managed to try it out? Any chance that it has some level of water protection (IP67 or IP68)?

Someone else posted one method. I have an easier method. Just delete the folder "wlan_logs". Then make an empty file (or empty text file) and rename it to "wlan_logs" and place it in the /sdcard/ directory. This will block the system from making a folder there and no more logs will be made. It...

Fingerprint Sensor First off, awesome ROM. Thanks for all the hard work. I've flashed the same stable build and also don't have access to fingerprint gestures. I came across another post that recommended switching selinux to permissive: So I tried confirming SElinux to permissive by adding...

You can safely follow the steps in the TWRP guide. Basically you now have to request bootloader unlock, wait 14 days, install TWRP, then install root by flashing the root zip through TWRP. Follow the steps in the TWRP guide for p2a42. You'll be fine. Yup, exactly. However, it does depend on you...

Very simply it's because there's an app that's putting a layer on your screen. This is often a light dimming app that draws on top of your screen such as lux, f.lux, blue light filter, etc. If you turn it off (turn off the service), the you should be fine. The reason you can't install is...

Please move this to the Q&A subforum. Thank you.

The info in this thread sounds wrong. The Lenovo P2 doesn't use mediatek chipset, so it shouldn't have MTK Pump Express charging. However, I've charged my P2 using 2 different Quick charge 2.0 chargers and they work with the double lightning bolts. Since the chipset is a qualcomm snapdragon, I...

There are ONLY 2 versions in terms of hardware. P2a42 has 32GB storage and has B20. (International version ) P2c72 has 64GB storage and does not have B20. (Chinese version ) However, you may get confused because sometimes they take the p2c72 hardware and put the p2a42 software (to get English...

Yes, Gearbest is completely wrong. Yes, all 64GB versions are p2c72. However, they might have updated the software to p2a42 (as we're discussing in this thread). It still won't have band 20 4G. LTE800 (B20) won't work. You're right, it only changes the software. It seems the radio firmware...

Damn, that's really nice. Just tested it out at checkout and can confirm the code still works. I paid 270 for mine, so this is 30% cheaper. Edit: Just found out that Gearbest is also doing a flash sale. £177, 5 pounds higher, but they have stock and will ship immediately. Banggood is on...

Good to know that. Sorry, my phone already had bootloader unlocked. I was under the impression fastboot would also work for unlocked devices.

That's great

Check if it's connected by typing 'fastboot devices'. Connect to it in fastboot mode by long-pressing volume down and power buttons.

The file is not for running on the phone. You'll have to download it to pc, install fastboot to pc, then install the rom from pc (through fastboot). And yes, once installed, you should be able to ask for bootloader unlock without any extra fuss. lmcdermo, you probably got errors because you...
