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...

Damn, that sucks. Maybe you can take it as a learning opportunity on how to fix/replace the screen. If it goes well, you could even sell it for a slightly lower price as used. Then buy a new one (to get the warranty).

Request to update Root method in Post #3 EypCnn Hi, I've successfully installed RR 5.8.3. Kudos to you and wzedlare for bringing this rom to the P2. It's smooth, fast, stable and does everything I need it to. I'm most thankful for the option in Display to turn off all heads-up notifications...

Exactly. I'm glad there are some others who think like me and keep to 3G. Just so you know, I made a guide thread to flash p2c72. https://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p2/how-to/guide-changing-p2c72-to-p2a42-flashing-t3636804 I'm going to add how to flash twrp, flash custom ROMs, and gain...

There are currently 2 variants of the Lenovo P2, p2a42 (32GB, global version) and p2c72 (64GB, china version). The p2c72 is slightly different, enough to cause confusion among people who have just bought it. There are a few scattered threads asking about the p2c72. This thread aims to bring...

4G answer and flash update The p2c72 doesn't have frequency band 20 for LTE/4G. Not all network providers use it, so it might be fine for you. For myself, I prefer to use 3G to save on battery. And 3G has always been fast enough for me. It's not a big deal, but some people won't even buy the...

Wmateria. I saw Billytromp's posts in the TWRP thread saying it went fine which gave me courage to flash TWRP. I also saw some of his posts where he got the black screen with blue LED with some ROMs. If we can gatehr a few more members and more info, maybe we can make a guide thread...

Thanks for the info Wmateria. That's good to know that you can flash all roms. After messing around and flashing other roms a few times, somehow resurrection remix works for me now. Unfortunately I'm not sure what I did to allow that to happen. At least now there are 2 users (Wmateria and me)...

Update on p2c72 custom roms. I've gotten bootloader unlock. It was quite easy. 1) I've installed TWRP 3.1.1.0. It works without any problems. - please note that after booting into TWRP through fastboot, I realized that the stock recovery was still installed. - if that happens for you, take an...

Hard to find now. The price was too good at £200. It's been out of stock for ages. I ended buying up buying it on ebay. Got the 64 GB (p2c72) variant for £270.

I've just received my P2C72. 1) It was updated to p2a42 by the seller so I didn't need to do anything in that regard. 2) I've just requested bootloader unlock, so I have to wait 14 days. 3) I did not need chinese phone number to request bootloader unlock. Once I have the bootloader...

With the Lenovo P1, button remapping it wasn't possible since it was hardware-coded. I think it might be the same for the P2.

Hi, I'm buying a p2c72. I just wanted to confirm that the following will work after changing to the p2a42 rom? a) I can unlock bootloader b) I can install TWRP c) I can install any p2a42 custom ROM (after removing the get-prop line) Has anyone on the p2c72 had any problems rooting and flashing...

I'm on the Note 2 (N7100) and have the same issue. I formatted internal storage in TWRP. Now USB is not detected on any pc. Any updates?

This ROM is seriously awesome. I haven't found any bugs yet (besides the call logs issue). I have a suggestion. Could you include the 2g toggle app from this thread in your next release? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739530 Right now it seems that the 2g toggle doesn't work...

I had the same problem for weeks. I think I've finally found a fix for this. You have to be rooted. 1. Go to /data/misc/akmd_set.txt 2. Change permissions to -rw-rw-rw (or chmod 666) Apparently the compass saves calibration values here. Because "system" doesn't have write access, every time...

Call log issue Ok, I solved this myself. I reinstalled the rom and I'm now using the touchwizz theme instead of the AOSP theme. It works fine now. At the same time however, I also reinstalled the Simplistic control app. I'm not sure which one did the trick, but you can try either if you have...

Signal stays bluec without Internet connection Awesome Rom! Thank you! I just upgraded to 7.3 from version 7. It seems that when I have no Internet connection, the phone signal and Wifi signal stay blue. It doesn't change to gray. I've already bought the simplistic control app from the...

Excellent question! I've been looking for the same thing for ages! I found out that javoedge used to make a card case for the note 1. I think it's been discontinued. The attachable card holders that HKSpeed mentioned look really good. Now, if only I can get my hands on one in Malaysia...

I know it's a slightly different phone, but has anyone tried this on an international Galaxy Note 2 (N7100)?

Very interested in the case. One thing I'd like to ask those who have the case: Is the side flat? I like to record speeches/lectures and I would like to put my phone on the table standing on its side while recording. That way I dont have to hold the phone. From the pictures, it looks like the...

Chainfire 3D options for NFS Shift? Would you mind sharing the settings you used? As in which plugins or shaders or etc. I can't seem to get it to work. Thanks

The program has been amazing. Loads huge pictures with no problem. It's definitely faster than Vito's EyePhoto. But Coolsva, I have a question. Now call me crazy, but I want to be able to set it up so that when I click a jpg file in file explorer or total commander, it will open up in your...

Amazing Program!! I've just gotten myself a windows mobile phone. I looked everywhere for a simple photo viewer that could scroll through images by tapping on the left or right of the screen. I didnt understand why resco photoviewer or pqv or any of those other photo viewers didnt have this...
