Lenovo P780 Kitkat 4.4.2 upgrade: Post problems and changes

1. New security system ( neither can be uninstalled nor disabled) actually speaking it is annoying to me. Now a days it is asking for Money Rs.53 for 30 days.
2. Very bad UI ( had to install NOVA Launcher to change it )
Does anyone know how to uninstall Lenovo Security. Please help me i dont want it anymore.

SecureIT is a completely free app.
The problem you are describing(virus database upgrade fee) is usually related with improper SU binary installation (rooted device loosing root access>CWM/TWRP re-rooting).That's why I asked about root access.In that case the solution was to uninstall and reinstall the app (ROOT needed).
The funny thing is that if you want to remove it you have to root the phone.
Rooting instructions HERE.
Important:If you remove SecureIT you won't be able to install future OTA updates.Suggest ''freezing'' it (ROOT needed).

Need to find impact of Vertex O series upgrade on ECC and changes required?

Hello experts,
My client is upgrading Vertex series to O from Q.
As part of Q series, additional fields such street will be used to identify correct tax jurisdiction code in system.
Also, zip code used will be 9 digits (zip+4) instead of 5 digits.
We need to correct existing master data and open transactions in system with new jurisdiction code along with supporting new data in system.
Below are the questions:
1. What changes are required in ECC side to support new vertex series in interface etc?
2. How can we achieve integration of vertex O series with new master and transnational data getting created in system to have right TXJCD value?
3. What all possible solutions are available to correct master data and transnational data in system with correct TXJCD value?
Any pointers to experience with Vertex will be rewarded.
Thank you,
Gouri.

Hi,
> 1. is there any dependency for the remaining systems in the landscape (SRM 5.0 SPS15, NW 7.0 SPS18, PI 7.1 SPS8, >SOLMAN EHP01 SPS22)?
As such there is no dependency between component you specified but SAP always says to be on latest patches. As far as solution manager is concerned you should have minimum support pack level Solman 7.0 SP17 but anyway you are more than that.
> 2. we are using AIX Version 5.3 and "DB2 v9.5.0.2", does it support ECC 6.0 EHP04 or do I need to upgrade?..
It is fine with your upgrade.
> 3. Java version for NW 7.0 is as follows:
> java version "1.4.2"
> Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2)
> Classic VM (build 1.4.2, J2RE 1.4.2 IBM AIX 5L for PowerPC (64 bit JVM) build caix64142-20080122 (SR10) (JIT enabled: jitc))
> Does it support my requirement or any upgrade is required?
>
Java version is also fine.

Neo2- Posting problem and HDD detection

My system is:
K8T Neo2 FIR
Athlon 64 3400+
Chaintech Geforce 5500 256mb
Samsung 120gb SATA
52x cdrom
I initially had a problem where it would not post at all. So after playing around I finally got it to POST by messing with the JBAT1 jumper position. Can someone by the way please tell me the correct position for this jumper? There are 5 pins there and in the book and everywhere else I look it shows there should be 3.
Anyway after I get it to post it says bios not installed etc, so i load setup with defaults and continue. Now I get to installing windows and it gets to the point of detecting my HD and says it could not find any. My SATA harddrive was detected by the BIOS, why not XP? So I have to reboot, but no POST! So I take the jumper off and put it right back on. That is the only way I can get it to post. Anybody know whats going on before I send all this stuff back?

Ok, amidst the BIOS craziness I was able to get WinXP installed and all the necessary drivers. I still am having a problem rebooting. Before I turn it on I must remove the JBAT1 jumper and replace it. Then it turns on when I press power. The same thing happens when I reboot, it doesn't completely shutdown so I have to shut it down manually, and again to turn it back on I have to pull up the JBAT1 jumper and put it back. Then it turns on. This is a stupid problem to have. When I boot it says No bios installed. And every bootup it gives me the menu Press F1 for setup or F2 to Load defaults and continue. Anyone know whats going on ?

Time machine problem. Switching from one external drive to another. Problem started when upgrading to Mavrics, and changing to a WD drive

I am a long time Mac user, running my business on an apple platform since 1984. I currently use a 17" MacBook Pro as my primary computer for work. when it is at work it is plugged in via thunderbolt to my monitor and a one tb back up drive. I use time machine to back up the laptop to the one tb drive. When I go home, I take the laptop with me and use another drive at home as a back up. This way I have redundant back ups, in two separate locations. I have been doing this for years, and Time machine has worked flawlessly, automaticity switching from one drive to another.
I recently switched to Maverics, and got a new drive for home. Now whether I am at home or at work, time machine fails to automatically back up. It will alert me every hour that backups cannot be completed, and I must go to the time machine control panel and manually select a drive and click, "back up now". I also see an alert that says "waiting to complete first back up" even though each backup has been completed.
This is quite annoying, and sometimes embarrassing. When giving lectures in large venues, the backup failure alert appears and shuts down my keynote presentation (again, something new since switching to Maverics and the new WD drive.
I have reformatted the WD drive, and also spent time trying to change parameters in the time machine control panel, but so far no luck.
Any advice out there?

Time machine requires a GUID partion scheme, as well as a Mac OS X extended, journaled Volume.
It needs these to correctly:
1) copy the files
2) run a modified spotlight index pass on the files
Both are required to complete a abckup, and most new drives do not conme this way from the factory.

Hi BT
Apparently my area had the fast broadband updated within the last few weeks but still mine is usual rubbish speed plus I have had quite a few disconnections lately with the hub lights going out.
I have been promised time and time again that things will improve and to be patient while things sort themselves out but in 3 years they have not changed at all and BT want to still charge me the same as someone on 20 mb where is the fairness in that ?
Any help would be grateful but excuse me for being sceptical

Alternative to posting problem reports via OSS?

Sometimes I find problems with SAP software, like the RFC library, that I'd like to be able to report, however I'm not always in a position to do so, as I may not be working at a client site at the time (and it would not be appropriate to log the problem under their installation).
What is needed, IMO, is a way to log these problems without the formality surrounding OSS and SAPnet. I imagine this would be important too for those coming into SAP for the first time from the Java side.
Perhaps the easiest way would be to mark a forum posting as a problem report, similar to the way it can be marked as a question. This would then allow for highlighting to forum members from SAP who could decide whether the problem warranted escalation.
Cheers,
Scott

Hi Scott,
i agree. There should be a possibility to create a linkage between OSS notes and SDN postings in some cases, because (besides or in addition what you've already said):
1. Problems which are reported to OSS might already have been resolved in SDN and vice versa. A common knowledge repository would be very helpful for both parties, i guess. In my opinion it's easier (and cheaper) to <b>verify</b> a possible solution published already in SDN than finding/creating a new one for OSS.
2. IMHO it's probable that a steadily increasing number of "productive versions users" of arbitrary SAP software components will start to post problems and possible bugs at the SDN forums in the near future. It's absolutely ok to redirect them to the OSS, since this is the official place to report and handle such issues.
But it should be possible for example to add a link referring the "SDN problem thread" to the customer message(s). The support team could then post the SAP notes number as a reply to the thread as soon as a solution is available. Otherwise, if people aren't gentle enough to return to the forums and publish the problem solution, it's not easy to find the official answer, since nobody knows how to search for the corresponding note to get reliable search results. If the problem description of the note doesn't repeat parts of the question text in SDN, you are lost.
3. Resulting from 2., more and more "information leaks" will arise in the SDN forums. But i dare to argue that people will return asking the same question(s) over and over again, if there's enough interest, until "somebody" is lucky enough to find the solution in the OSS and post the notes number. Why not "automate" this?
Just to clarify:
I do <b>not</b> want to have the OSS team bypassed, this is definitely wrong from my point of view.
Cheers,
Stefan

Irritating bugs in Lenovo P780

Hi
I have a 8GB Lenovo P780 phone model no P780_ROW and Android 4.2.1 build no P780_8G_ROW_S123_131231. I am happy overall with my purchase but there are a few irritiating bugs.
Calendar is buggy. I have synced my calendar to three accounts and the stock calendar shows wrong time compared to the desktop. Also the ToDo alert gives alert at wrong times ex: i get an alert at 6 AM for an event scheduled at 8:30 with alert time set to 15 mins. And the events are not sorted by time and hence very difficult to understand
The stock email app does not mark Office 365 exchange emails as read when i read them on the device
Any thing i can do short of using alternate apps?
Regards
Shiva

Hi. my p780 is running on 4.4.2 KitKat build p780_ROW-S227_141121. I do not get email repeat alerts - it sounds only once for an incoming mail and then is silent for any number of mails until I open the mail box. Then the next mail is alerted and subsequent are silent. Maddeningly, I miss out on mails leading to embarassment as this is also my official mail device. Anyone has a solution to this?

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Anuj, so you are saying that I am able to browse net and do other stuff on the internet and still my APN settings are not correct?
What you suggested is for Vodafone. What about Airtel? Kindly confirm. Thank you.
EDITED VERSION:
Anuj, thank you very much. It has started working fine with Vodafone Connect. Lenovo could be a little proactive in forums like these. I was just at the verge of returning this phone. Thank you once again.

[Q]Problem with Bluetooth connection between Xiaomi Mi Band and Lenovo P780.

Hello,
I bought Mi Band to my Lenovo P780 and I have connection problem. I have paired both devices and everything works well but 10-20 times a day connection is lost. And after I open Mi Fit, app try to connect with phone and do a sync but it can't (long time: "Connecting... Getting info from your band" and after: "Couldn't connect, pull down to retry."). Only after turning Bluetooth off/on app can connect to phone and do syncing. This is very annoying. Always after night the connection between Mi Band and phone is broken. What can I do about this problem? I need have a real-time notifications on Mi Band so I need have stable connection between phone and band all the time.
I have Lenovo P780 on 4.4.3 and Xiaomi Mi Band on firmware 1.0.9.0 + Tweaked Mi Fit with notify 1.2.922. But I tried also previous versions of Mi Fit - always the same result. And I tried on Nexus5 rom final, official Lenovo KK rom vibe, Alice Project 7.5 and Alice Project 8.0 roms - always the same result.
I tried on 2 other phones and bracelete isn’t broken. Everything is ok – stable connection.
Problem is in Lenovo. What should I do?
Thank you very much.

I have a better experience as my microsoft sculpt touch mouse now works fine - before it was always disconnecting.
Otherwise I have noticed the following with this new update:
- you have to update the bios version too to maximise the improvement
- regarding the special settings of my card, and after lots of test, my best setting is :
Antenna diversity type : 3 (before upgrade of bios, i had no wifi with 3 as value) - it seems it gaves me a slight enhancement
Bandwith: 20_40
Selective suspend : enabled (disabled doesn't change anything)
Selective suspend timeout: 30 (more doesn't change)
Wifi-config: wifi (that's the real trick, if set to Performance, the drop in performance is impressive)
in the meanwhile i was typing that i experienced a slight bluetooth connexion drop... less than before, but it's not totally fixed.
i think alas that the choice of the wifi card is just very bad. I ordered back in 2008 a profesional Dell laptop with a wifi n 2x2 450Mbits minipci. I expected that in 2012-13, an ultrabook without lan connexion and a ssd would at least provide a 2x2 (dual band) 300 Mbits wifi n... but here it's just the cheapest wifi n single band + bluetooth bundle which has been put. The worst is that's an economy of maybe 20€ which is ridiculous on a >1000€ machine.
Once the guarantee has passed, i think i'll upgrade my machine with a decent minipci wifi card and that's all. At least it seems that the dismounting of the Yoga 13 is quite well documented.

Lenovo support has become very poor (long post at least until they delete it because it's truth)

Quite honestly, I wouldn't be suprised if they delete this post, but hopefully some people will get to read it before it is.
I have been a big fan of the ThinkPad brand computer for as long as it existed.   I work in Computer Networking and Security.   Lenovo has always offered quality products at an affordable price.   Until I ran into a problem that occured in November, 2011 when I purchased 30 Lenovo Thinkpad E420's for my customers.
Every single one of them fried out within 4-5 months. While back then, trying to use my warranty, I was bounced back and forth from Office Depot and Lenovo untill I had to just bite the bullet and purchase relpacements myself for my customers (I bought a different brand). And frankly, I will never buy another Lenovo product again, after recommending them to thousands of people over the years until this all happened. By the time I finally got someone that offered the warantty,   they told me it was no lonver valid. Yes. It took over 6 months of calling Office Depot / Lenovo back and forth until I finally reached someone (which happened to be RIGHT after the warranties ended......)
Now, 2 years later, I received letters from Office Depot that this particular brand and battery were being recalled. ALL of the computer's ID numbers and the Battery numbers matched what was listed as "qualified for replacement".   I went to Office Depot and was denied, telling me to contact Lenovo.   I went to the website Lenovo suggested and filled in the information for all 20 broken computers (I kept them around in case I needed spare parts which never did because according to the governmental recall, these defective batteries can cause damage to the BIOS / Motherboard / and Power supply).
All of my computers were rejected by their fill in form. When I called tech support, I was transfered to four different departments, each saying that "Whatever the website said is the final word and we cannot help you, but let me transfer you to someone that maybe can assist you". only to get transfered to 5 people who told me that they don't know why I were transfered to them, then make the same suggestions, and then transfered me off to another person that is equaly as confused as why I was transfered to their department. As shampoo says, Rinse Lather Repeat for 2 hours.
This isn't meant to be a rant. This is to explain how poor their customer service is, that they basically told me oh well, buy a new one of our products since that one doesn't qualify.   This is a company that just lost a power buyer whom has purchased counteless Lenovo Think Pad's over a long period of time, and they treated me like a grandmother that wondered why they had so many toolbar's on their screen.
I highly suggest you avoid their products. Again, by the time I finally got to any stage of my "warranty" with either Office Depot or Lenovo, it was too late.   Then, with this governmental issued recall, all of the computers I had in storage did not qualify (even though they were the exact brand / year / and battery that was "qualified".
So, consider this just a warning on how Lenovo now operates.   I had 20 computers that by the time I was ping-ponged back and forth between their distributer (Office Depot) and their company, with each repeating "you have to contact the other", until it had been so long that my warantees finally expired. Now with the governmental battery recall, I ran into the exact same thing.
Since their automated "check if your computer qualifies section" said NONE of them qualify, I now have 20 nice paperweights that costed my business quite a bit of money, to the point where I gave up on the Computer Business and went to work for the government.
I used to recommend Lenovo products to my customers and to my clients, and will never do so again.   It is such a pity that they bought the Think Pad brand, because many of my smaller clients prefered the little 'eraser' style mouse vs the multi touch pad. So be warned people. They are cheap computers for a reason, and that reason isn't because they pride themselves on quality service.   Honestly, I would have forgotten about this until I got the letter saying that these computers had governmental issued recalls on the batteries.   But I find it quite strange that all of the computers died at about the same time, all were the make and model that was recalled,   but NONE qualified for the battery.
And good luck getting your warranty if your computer breaks during the warranty period. Plus, if you think this is just an anger rant, rather than just the truth, search reviews on Lenovo products.   Most reviewers throw in the joke that "You'd be better off buying an eMachine, at least you know you're getting a piece of junk"

Kevin,
Understandably you seem really frustrated. I can sympathize with your summation of the run around you have experienced but without specifics, it is difficult to arrange assistance on your behalf.
The battery recall is for safety, and the automated tool querries the batteries to see if specific ones are affected. It is possible that your batteries may have worn down over time, but not been flagged as inherently unsafe. If you have a sample of 20 or 40 units, and they were built nearly in sequence then it is possible that they are not affected.
Serene likely asked you for customer contact and type and serial information for at least one of your systems as required to escalate your case. I understand it is frustrating to have already provided this elsewhere to the company.

Questions on previous Yosemite upgrade posts

I had the following questions on previous Yoemite upgrade posts:
1. how do you acquire and make a bootable thumb drive installer?
2. how do you boot the system in safe mode?
3. what applications and versions of these are Yosemite compatible?
4. if an upgrade is required how do you get it? I realize that this will be application dependent?
Thanks.

I would go with Niel's suggestion for question 1 as the program will do all the work for you.

Lenovo P780 suddenly rarely has signal

Hi! First of all, I read a lot of threads in this forum and no, those didn't help me.
I bought a Lenovo P780 in February, ROW version (if I remember ROW123 4GB), imei starts with 860. I installed a custom rom (I checked and it is for this ROW) and it worked fine. One day in May I noticed that I got no signal. Then it came back. Than it went away. It is still the problem of course.
I never dropped nor flooded the phone. I tried installing other GSM modems as people on forums suggested, I tried a lot but none of them worked. I was angry so I took it apart, and saw that the outer shell of the antenna cable was damaged, so I ordered a new one, but it didn't help. I checked the whole PCB under a magnifying glass so maybe I would find any sign of damage so then I can replace the faulty component (I have access to do that), but I found nothing.
I tried it with different SIM cards. Then I found out, that in the Settings menu in the about phone section you can see the exact signal strength (it usually says 0dBm 99 asu which is absurd). You can only access it when you have a SIM card in the device but when you are in, you can take it out and you can still see the signal strength. It sometimes finds signal, but it is very rare.
What should I do? I have no money to replace the motherboard, and of course I have no warranty. Is there a chance that my problem is software-based, or it is surely hardware stuff? What can I do?

I have the same problem. Have you found any solutions?
Both sims had full signal (cosmote and vodafone) and everything worked fine.
Suddenly one day none had signal. If I only leave one sim in the phone sometimes it has full signal, but most of the time low or no signal.
ANything would help. Thank you.

No Signal in Lenovo P780

Team,
I'm not getting the signal for any simcard in P780. Both the sim cards are working when inserted in any other devices. What should be a problem in the phone?
Regards.

Hi richukkutti
Can you tell me your firmware build number?Settings->About phone....
Is the phone new and had this problem from day 1?
Can you open the phone dialer and dial *#06#.By dialing that code your IMEI numbers should show up.
Are there any numbers(2 long numbers) shown?
PS.Please don't post the IMEI numbers here.
Regards.

Lenovo K920 Vibe Z2 Pro language upgrade

What is the best way to upgrade the german language to the new K920?
Thank you!

You'll have to use it in English for the moment ... You can't add languages.
Later you can flash an international multilingual firmware, if any (not aware right now).
I don't know what the seller has told you but you'll probably get a Chinese firmware or a custom based on a Chinese firmware (including google services).
Sorry
