[Q] Lenovo P780s - Lenovo P780

Hi Folks,
I have recently come accros this phone model on aliexpress.
Unlike Lenovo p780 on this forum, it has 4.7" screen and quad or octa core MTK CPU, either MTK6589 or MTK6592.
Is this the official Lenovo phone or some "dodgy" copy, as in Antutu, it shows manufacturer as "ALPS"? Can somebody shed some more light please?
Regards and Thanks,
Darko

Thanks for your answer.... I have looked there first, however, I could not find it.
p780s is smaller, has KitKat, according to advert.

Seems to me after a long study that this p780 is for internal market of China.
I don saw anything on international sites.
And by the way this phone got an accumulator of 2200mA or 2500mA.

There are screenshots on Aliexpress offers, that confirms the specification (chip, 2GB RAM, gpu, etc). If the phone is actually a dodgy copy it means that these screenshots are fake as well?

Yes, its fakes.

Here is one example. There are plenty more on aliexpress.

I just had a search on youtube and a those few reviews have disappeared. If I find them again I shall post them for sure.
Thanks for revealing this "mistery". Can you explain me how they can hide the "real CPU" from different benchmark applications?

An easy way to discover they used a fake antutu.

From what I have discovered , when installing a benchmarking application they have modified Package Access Helper com.android.defcontainer to replace the apk with modified one from /system/etc/.tempxxx with fake cpu information.
From Logcat
12:33:59.733 Warning asset 2578 AssetManager-->addDefaultAssets CIP path not exsit!
12:33:59.733 Warning asset 2578 Asset path /system/etc/.tempcpuz is neither a directory nor file (type=1).
12:33:59.733 Warning DefContainer 2578 Failed to parse package
12:33:59.733 Warning ActivityManager 549 No content provider found for permission revoke: file:///system/etc/.tempcpuz
With root I have disabled these files , and was able to install the real apk by copying it to /data/app
Without root you have to decompile and recompile apk with another package name ( eg. from com.cpuid.cpu_z to com.cpuid.cpu_z2)
I attach renamed cpuz if anyone wants it.
When the internal package name is changed , It can be installed as it doesnt identify it as one that it wants to replace.
If any developers want these files for investigation , I will upload them.
I hope this info helps others not to get ripped off from those suppliers selling these phones.

I believe that we need to find some place to put this as a warning for people looking to buy phones like this.
I was almost cought out by this con, and thankfully for people here on the forum, they saved me a few 100 dollars.

I totally agree with you , and that is one of the reasons I posted details about it.
People who have been scammed should at least leave negative reviews for there orders,and dispute with those where they purchased the phone.
Be advised that the model named "P780w" is also a scam, and if you can change the title of this thread,

Hi.
I bought one P780c from Aliexpress and it is obviously a fake copy. Antutu say MTK6592 an 8 cores, but
MTK tools say MTK6582 and 4 cores, and hardware is fake. Also it was annonced with android 4.4, but has 4.2.
I had in mind it could be a fake, but I made a try.
It cost was only around $100, so not big loss..
The phone works ok, but I have not got the GPS working, also the screen seems to have some problems when input text, not always get the correct letter.
I am looking for a new phone with 4G LTE band and on Aliexpress there are Lenovo A808 with 5.5" screen and N905 with 5" screen for sale. How can we be sure they are originals and not fakes ? From the price ? They cost around $100-120 with free shipping.
I would like to try one, but if it is fakes also, I have several phones with MTK6582 quad cores.

Hello. I need help. I am looking for FAKE ROM V603 LENOVO said ?! Officially there is such a smartphone and I'm already baffled. Do you know anyone advise?

What kind of Lenovo it is ? What is written on the box ?

custom ROM V603
it's a fake from China. Phone no central button as Samsung and Lenovo has none. On the box are the only Chinese signs and information for your stated V603 ... it should be MTK 6572

Now, my question is does it look like any of the china pads? or anyone ever seen one? There pretty cheap IMO and the specs dont look bad for being cheap. I called the manufacturer to find out if there resistive or capacitive, they said they didnt know....
dont seem that bad, but frys said If i open them up they take 20% off for a return, so I was hopin to find out some more info before i did that. The only thing the guy could tell me was it was "multitouch"

specs from the website
Judging by the specs and description, it seems like it has a capacitive touchscreen. Plus having multi-touch, it would most likely be capacitive.

Thank you so much, I thought that as well. I actually just called there support again, and it was the same guy, he told me it plays angry birds very well. I guess Ill report back once they open them up after xmas. I might pick up another one to try out, but frys is pretty far. They do have them listed on there website as well.

Even thought they claimed that they "rushed", a manufacturer should know EVERYTHING about their own device.
Sumas 7" Tablet
I also purchased one at Fry's Black Saturday sale for $88.
I called the company this morning.
It should work with Flash 10.1 accordingly to the person I talked to.
It is not a capacitve screen.
I am not sure if I want to open the package as Fry's charges a 15% restocking fee.
The parent company is Solar Region in China.

Hi,
Thank you for your response, how do you know its not a capacitive screen if you havent opened it? Ive been searching online nonstop still havent found anything saying it is not? I called Sumas again, after I read your post and the guy changed his story and said it was capacitive now?
Although Im not sure I believe him, he kept saying "multitouch with no stylus needed"
Ill keep looking and see post up on what i find. thanks again for your response.

That means it is capacitive (most likely). Capacitive touch screens do not need styluses (some cannot use styluses). If it was resistive, you would most likely need a stylus (unless your fine pounding your device ).

I know it is not a capacitive screen as:
1 - Sumas technical support told me.
2 - I was at Fry's today and they had a demo unit. It is not a capacitive screen.
I will be returning mine.
I should have also mentioned that is does not have a G-Sensor. To change from landscape to portrait mode there is screen icon you must press.

Wow, thanks for the info! thats crazy, its listed right on there specs, is it listed on yours as well? I called frys today after I saw your receint post, I had them connect me with there tablet sales area, and the guy there told me the screen was capacitive. Im not sure i believe him though. I also have been searching online and i found another user on another forum who said he purchased one as well and said the screen was very hard to press and use which makes me think this is resistive. I guess im going to be returning these as well. Possibly try out the wopad v7+ those seem to have pretty good reviews in general and overall similar price range. Goodluck! If anyone still has anymore info please share!

Changhong Z-Me, any help?

Hello, I bought a month ago two phones Changhong Z-Me, which are very cheap (I bought two for 160€, about 80€ each). The brief specs are:
4" 854x480 TFT LCD screen
Gingerbread 2.3.7 with chinese & english languages
Snapdragon S2 MSM8255 @1Ghz (only one core despite some sites say)
Adreno 205
512MB RAM (about 350 for user)
4GB ROM (2.9 for user)
microHDMI out 720p support (at least my TV says so, movies are shown very decent)
Well, I received them yesterday and they work very good, but I have got a problem, I can't find a way to change the rom, because there is no forum talking about it. I don't know why, because it is a great and cheap phone. The only thing I have done is to root the phone with the tool Unlock Root 2.42, and it seems it worked (the mobile is in the list of compatible devices).
I want to change the rom because there are many programs in chinese which I can't delete, and there is no google play, instead a changhong store which is impossible to do anything since its server is from china and here in Spain is a pain to suft through chinese sites because they're way slow, and usually the changhong store gives me connection errors because of that.
I have read that I can use other sites like getjar to download apps but I would want to use the official google one. In fact I installed the google play APK but it gives me the error about creating account, and that's because my Gingerbread has no google account settings inside the menus as it is a heavy modifyed rom it seems.
I hope someone aims some interesting about this very nice phone and we all start a little community about it because I find this phone powerful enough to do most of the daily tasks, even play ^^.
Thank you so much!

[Q] CDS CD1000 - MTK6577 phone 1280x720px 1GB Root/Play Store

Hello everyone,
I have received my CDS CD1000 phone. Looks and works great but sadly I noticed that it does not come with the Play Store installed. Also it's not rooted. Does anyone know of available information about this phone about custom roms, rooting and installing the Play Store?
Here a link to a site with some general info: http://www.gizchina.com/2012/09/06/galaxy-s3-clone-mtk6577-with-45-inch-hd-retina-display/
Would love to hear others opinions and findings about this phone.
Thanks for reading.

Hi G64,
for rooting you should try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
The latest version of the script can be found in the first posting. Bin4ry did excellent work here. It should work on most MTK6577 phones and worked for my B92M which has Android 4.0.4 and MTK6577, and I heard from a lot people with MTK6577 that it worked for them too.
After rooting you should be able to install the Play store by yourself with the help of ES File explorer and PhoneSky.apk (the latter one is the Play store) - just google for it, there are quite a lot tutorials for this task around the net, e.g. here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1582422
The tutorial implies that there is already an unmodded version of the Play store installed in the phone, maybe it works anyway. But be sure to rename the Vendig.apk to Phonesky.apk before installing, as told in page 2 of the link above.
I am interested in the phone, too, so please be so kind and answer to the following questions:
1) does it have dual sim support? Your link says only one sim is supported.
2.) battery size in mAH?
3.) does it really have (about) 1 GB RAM?
4.) does it really have 1.2 GHZ?
5.) could you please tell me the AnTuTu benchmark score?
Thank you very much.
Hi asskicker,
Sorry to get back a little late. I don`t have the phone here atm. Do you know perhaps if i can install that Play Store thing on a NOT rooted phone ? Because the most important is the Play Store.
I`ll try to answer your questions here:
1) does it have dual sim support? Your link says only one sim is supported.
- It has 2 SIM slots
2.) battery size in mAH?
- Battery says 2100mAH
3.) does it really have (about) 1 GB RAM?
- I can`t install Apps a normal because it lacks Play Store at this moment (for Antutu).
4.) does it really have 1.2 GHZ?
- I can`t install Apps a normal because it lacks Play Store at this moment (for Antutu)
5.) could you please tell me the AnTuTu benchmark score?
- I can`t install Apps a normal because it lacks Play Store at this moment (for Antutu)
When i can install the Play Store i am happy to post the questions ant further. But i need to have the phone first so i can try the Play Store install.
But if you know that the Play Store installer can also be used without Rooting than it might be quicker to have the info.
BR
Hi G64,
thank you for the answer.
I am pretty sure that it will not work to install the Play Store without rooting the phone. But rooting is really easy if you follow the link in my post.
About the RAM: Android will tell you the free & used amount of RAM if you go to settings -> apps -> active tab. The two values will tell you the complete amount of RAM installed.
@GaMeR64 - Did You root'ed phone success or not?
I'm very interresting answer for @asskicker question 3, 4 and 5
Unfortunatly no. People can't miss their phones for like 5 minutes these days
Do you know if GPS works ok?
hello , i have this item about 4 weeks and its real fine
all works great , better build and hardware quality as the star b92m or my umi x1 ( No GPS on this devices , and netwok suppot real poor )
this thing for moment price round 170 $ , is the best alternative on dual sim sector ... which have MTK 6577 :good:
i ordered here : http://www.aliexpress.com/item/4-5i...core-1GB-4GB-Dual-camera-5-0MP/668733010.html
really good seller , but others have the phone cheaper at the moment .
sorry for my english

@dynamo4ever - why CPU freq on screen max is 667MHz??? antutu result test with this freq?
How long phone work on full charged battery?
Some new (and proofed) informations about the phone. I'm very interested in this phone.
I've just ordered one from here:
www.ebay.co.uk/itm/181036120686
£117.86 GBP.
The ebay advert says it's Dual Sim and judging by an earlier poster's screenshots it supports two sim cards as the notification area shows wifi + mobile reception + airplane mode (for the other sim).
I was about to go for a Star B92, but I'm hoping this phone works out better as it has 1GB ram instead of 512MB and better GPS.
If someone could post a step-by-step guide on how to root and install the play store app that would be awesome.
Thanks!
This phone goes by another name Chigon A720. I think those who are interested can find more info searching for Chigon A720 as there seems to be a russian community owning this phone
Mine finally arrived today. However I forgot to order micro sim -> sim adapters so have been unable to test the phone side of things.
It seems pretty fast, the 3d graphics are not great but for non-gaming use it's great. The screen is clear,nice and bright. Good resolution.
The touch screen works well to, better than i was expecting, no problems typing on it at all.
The phone is definately DUAL SIM as there has been some confusion. The two sim card slots are on top of each other.
The GPS works great, I just went snowboarding and used alpine replay to record my tracks with both my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and the CDS CD1000 / Chigon A720 and the results are very similar. Neither device lost GPS position. Out of the box the GPS took almost no-time to get a fix.
The speaker seems OK, music was listenable to, but suffers from the usual lack of bass as every phone I've ever had has done, no suprise there.
I made a call using Skype and CSipSimple and the person on the other end could hear me just fine.
My regular 3.5mm headphones fitted without issue.
The wifi and bluetooth worked just fine, i could connect to my home router and pair with my other devices quickly and easily.
The device came with Android 4.0.4 and had the Play Store already installed along with AppCloud, a chinese app store. I disabled the latter without issue.
Everything I've run on it so far has worked perfectly.
Very happy with it so far, total bargain for the money - however bear in mind i've not tested the dual sim functionality yet. I will post again once i've had the chance to test it.
hi;
my phone arrived last night. I have a problem. my phone's flashlight is very weak. it does not take any photographs in the dark. Even the display light is better than flashlight. there are no images in the darkness. all of the cd1000 are the same or my phone is defective? can I improve light intensity with any programs. how can I fix or repair? if I take a new flashlight led, have be compatible with the phone? does it work? Is there someone who can help? sorry for my bad english.

Just following up on this thread now I've had the phone for a while.
Had no issues with the phones, it's still working great. I have installed a french SFR and a UK GiffGaff SIM card in the phone, one card in each slot. The dual sim functionality works great. Both sim cards are on-air all the time.
The battery life is great. I leave wifi and 2g/3g on all day and it's fine.
It also survived an accidental drop onto a wodden floor from hand-height just fine with no scratches to the casing.
Overall I'm still very impressed by the device. It's a total bargain.

Hi all,
i have the phone here now and have tried to get GApps installed but i can`t get it fixed. I have also installed the latest PlayStore but that immediatly quits when opened. For this i found we need the GoogleFramework that is inside GApps. But how do i install this ?
I also found a guide that said to extract all the *.apk`s from the downloaded gapps zip and then copying them to the device and then manually install them. Doesn`t work. It just says: App not installed.
Do we need Clockwork Recovery Mod to get into recovery or is there also a "Normal" Recovery ? I tried to get in recovery mode with Power button + Volume down but then i enter Factory Mode (not recovery mode) and this has no options to install something from Zip (which Recovery Mode should have i read somewhere).
Hopefully someone here can point me in the right direction.

Goo phone MTK6582 I6 Plus - Very slow, Do I need To Root?

[HELP] Goophone i6 Plus - Very slow !
Hello my friends, I made a purchase on Dhgate.com a Goophone i6 Plus, the seller said the device was MTK6582 Quad Core and RAM of 1GB. Now he arrived, he found it very slow and downloaded CPU-Z to check, I came across this, MT6572 4 cores and 512MB RAM (Screenshots). I do not quite understand processor, as do, to enable the two nuclei that are "stopped"? As for RAM, the device is consuming almost it all, which is causing crashes on, is there any solution? Help me please, I spent a lot from this unit.
If you have to do root, I do, no problem, except that I can not activate the USB debug option because it use Apple's Settings application.

Sorry, but the Goophone is a very poor iPhone clone, and the spec CPU-Z is giving you correctly matches the i6 Plus model.
The 2 stopped cores merely means they're not being used currently. the 512mb of RAM -will- leave your device almost unusable as it's just not enough. Rooting will not improve the device performance at all.
When buying a lemon, one should not be surprised if the experience leaves a sour taste in the mouth, sorry. If I were you, I'd try to return it for your money back and steer clear of those junk devices in future. Always research your purchases.

Thank you for answering me, what device do you recommend I buy?
I like a lot of iPhone clones, and I see some that are Octa-core, 2GB RAM, TouchID, is it good? One of these costs about 250 USD. But the mine was 120 USD.

Most clones do not really have the hardware they claim to and to be honest your best bet would be to avoid them all together.
Not to mention you will find almost 0 development for them

Hi! I just bought a Goophone i6 plus V3. Everything works fine: sensors, touch ID, Wifi, bluetooth, calls, data and GPS. But as this devices comes from China, Google is banned there, the main issue I have with my phone is GPS Location. It is default China and I can't re-assign it to my country (my ignorance I guess). I can use Maps (this even tracks very fine my route), FB, Whatsapp, Line, Instagram, etc. it runs smoothly, but I am not able to use apps that requiere full location services as Google+, Snapchat or We Heart it, p.e. Since the phone is going crazy trying to lock to China satellites, battery consuption is level God.

Should I Buy Leeco Le Max 2 X820? Explanation for what I need it for inside

Hi everyone!
I am new on the forums and I hope I got the right forum to ask this question
I have a chance to purchase Leeco Le Max 2 X820 for 180 euros. This phone is 1 month old and sold by someone over the internet. So not buying it from the shop.
These are the quick specs but I am sure you already know them:
5.7 inch 2560*1440 Pixel 2K screen
CPU: Qualcomm Snapdragon 820, quad core, 2.15GHz, 64bit, GPU Adreno 530
4GB LPDDR4 RAM + 32GB ROM UFS 2.0
Metal unibody,3100 mAh battery with fast charge
What I need the phone for?
I need the phone to run my websites, use WordPress, google analytics, google webmasters and bunch of other browser-based apps. I also need it to use bunch of online storages such as google drive, onelive and dropbox.
Besides this, I need it to run excel and word and to access like 10 email accounts.
On top of all that I need to run bunch of social media apps and to use multi logins with them. Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook etc.
This is to be a work phone for me to run my social media and website presence because I am not always on my laptop.
Until now I was using my poor 5 years old Huawei G620s and he barely survives 20% of what I need from him but he scores 12000 on antutu so thats understandable. This LeEco can score up to 140K on antutu which makes him more than 10x stronger.
Will I be able to use this LeEco phone without any lag while jumping between emails, google chrome and social media apps?
I have no intention of playing games with it, even thou I would love to but no time for that sadly.
Also did you ever experience a problem with this phone in terms of any part of it dying? I will not get any warranty so I was wondering if the phone is easy to die.
Thank you in advance!
That guy sell because the phone got problem. If you are ok with non-working fingerprint and also glitchy screen, go ahead and buy it.

What makes you say that? Are those problems common with this phone?
I would check everything before buying it

It sounds like you need a lot of battery. The 2K Screen will drain your battery but it's not too bad. If you really need that battery you would be able to get out more with le pro 3 elite. The elite version has also the same chipset but it has only 1080p screen and 4000 mAh battery. But still the le max 2 is really good for it's value but sometimes people get some defect fingerprint sensors or screen glitches (I was lucky to get neither of those issues) and I'm not sure if it's the same case with le pro 3. And don't buy it from another person, you would most likely need that warranty.
In the end I bought xiaomi note 4 which is a bit weaker than this leeco but I bought it with less money in the store and I got warranty so that's a big plus.
So far works amazing. Thank you for your help though
I faced only finger print problem.
and for your daily work, I recommend you to buy it.
it is super fast with SD 820

Definitely check the fingerprint sensor. It's a chronic and established problem with this phone.
Also, don't forget to check the IMEI blacklist! FOR BOTH SIMS!

For that price you get the 4GB / 64GB version from an online shop with 1 ~ 12 months warranty.

I wouldn't oversell the warranty - but he's not wrong about the price. Might as well get it new if you're going to buy it.
I know from banggood I bought mine several months ago at $270 Canadian Pesos, so I mean, Euros probably stack up pretty well against its current price.
I bought mine for ~300 euros . I use 6GB ram / 64GB storage version and here is the list of things i know that tend to glich ( at least for me):
- fingerprint sensor is dead. period. It worked well and REALLY FAST for like 4-5 months, after that, nothing.
- screen gliches out sometimes, like half of wallpaper is out of screen area, no idea why, some apps have same problem. It looks like bottom right corner of the app is moved to the middle of the screen and rest moves somewhere outside.
- app sync. some apps like what's app sync with no problem, you got message? instant beep. other apps like meesenger sometimes does not. you have to go to app, and do manual refresh.
- Battery life - sometimes it's so good phone lasts 3 days and sometimes, process like "system service" that runs most of things in your phone, (gps, messages etc.) gliches out and drains your entire battery dry in 5 hours ( not mentioning phone temperature hits 43 degree) even when iddle in your pocket, with no apps in background.
- battery life again, sometimes phone charges max to 95%, sometimes to 98% and sometimes to 100% no idea why again.
most of the issues above, is caused but stock rom, so if you don't change it, all of these above will happen to you.
Overall, this phone is amazing for doing all you need and more but the issues above just kill the fun of using it so don't bother geting into this mess, really, not worth it.
