Re: LENOVO TAB S8

Slightly confused and hope somone can clear this up.
It comes pre-installed with some apps: Eg Play Books
But these don't seem to update automatically
I had to go to Play App Store > Find Play Books and select 'Update'
Any advice would be appreicated
Thanks

How to Root a Lenovo Tab 2 A10-70 2015 version

I am not responsible for any damage that may affect your Device! Rooting is the first step to customise your device. Without rooting absolutely 'extraordinary' nothing is possible. Yes your warranty becomes void after that. So chill. No matter where you read that its very risky or something like that, I'll say refrain from going to those sites. They are just putting unnecessary fear into your mind. Most probably they fear You could make your device function better than them.So lets go on with it. I've made it simple for you. Just follow the steps. Step 1: Download and install Kingo Android Root. (THE LAST VERSION)Step 2: Double click the desktop icon of Kingo Android Root and launch it.Step 3: Plug your Android device into your computer via USB cable.Step 4: Enable USB Debugging mode on your Android device.USB Debugging mode enabled is a necessary step of Android rooting process.*INPORTANT: Pay attention to your device screen for a prompt window. Tick "Always allow from this computer". If you don't, you will probably get yourself an OFFLINE DEVICE.5. Read notifications carefully before rooting your device.6. Click "ROOT" to root your device.Kingo Android Root will employ multiple exploits on your device, which will probably take a couple of minutes. In the rooting process, your device may be rebooted several times. Do not be panic, it is perfectly normal. And once it begins, please DO NOT touch, move, unplug or perform any operation on your device.7. Root succeeded, click "Finish" to reboot your device.8. Check the root status of your device.9-Enjoy your Root in your new Lenovo Tab 2 A10 *Android rooting is a modification process to the original system, in which the limitations are removed and full-access is allowed and thus resulting in the ability to alter or replace system applications and settings, run specialized apps and even facilitate the removal and replacement of the device's operating system with a custom one. Rooting your device will immediately void your warranty...

I was able to root it using Kingoroot, but it needed some help! Kingo said the root was successful, but the tablet was not really rooted. Some apps, like Greenify, would not work correctly. I unrooted, then rerooted with the same result. The last time I did this, the Kingo Superuser app said it needed an update to its binary. Instead of updating it, I installed Super SU 2.46 and then had it update its binary. After a restart, I was fully rooted. I have not removed the Kingo Superuser app or updated Super SU. If it is not broken, do not fix it! ;p). I also was interested in installing Xposed, but at the start of the installation, it warned me that the app was not compatible with some of the tablets hardware (processor or chipset?), so I removed the installer. I would not install it until Xposed is updated. The only other thing I would like to do is install Clockwork Mod recovery, but I am not sure if it is compatible with the Tab 2.

Playing videos and other content from my Lenovo Tab A8 to my Samsung SMART TV

Hi,I've a Lenovo Tab A8. I also bought a Samsung SMART TV recently. I want to connect my Tab to my TV so that I can share and watch the Tab's contents on the large screen wirelessly. I tried many different apps but they did not help. Is there anyway this can be done? Would be great if you can let me know. Thanks Tashfin

On my A7-30, I turn on my Screen Mirror function on my TV and then turn on the "Cast Screen" function on my phone. It will then connect.

Faulty storage on lenovo tab A10!

OK so I have had the Lenovo tab a10 for about 4 months now, fine but one problem: I am missing over 7 gigabytes of storage. They're just not there. Now it won't let me download anything like apps and movies. Has anyone else had this problem? If it can't be fixed I will never buy from Lenovo ever again. The visual breakdown tells me that I have nearly half of my storage left. This is correct, however it says I only have 384 megabytes available and apps will not download. Something is increasingly taking up storage, because this morning I had over 700 megabytes available (still not alot, but much more than now), I haven't used the device all day and now when I came back to it I only had 384 megabytes available and that amount is decreasing but nothing else is changing. Long story short, what's eating up my storage?!

Try an app like DiskUsage and see if it tells you what's going on? Delete cache? Do you have any apps that might be storing streamed media or something?

Lenovo TAB S8 50F touch screen - additional touches when charged w/ insufficient charge

As the title says
There are additional registered touches when the tablet is charging with an insufficient charge that follow the same horizontal line (going across the tablet or the same y coordinates) that appear at mostly random locations (although they start at the opposite side where the single touch is applied).
Issue can be replicated and seen especially when typing, issue is clearly seen when "show touches" is on (under developer options). Issue present after restarting device; it is not always seen as soon device is charging with an insufficient charger but very soon afterwards (within minutes).
Issue not present when device is discharging or charging with provided charger or higher amperage.
Model: Lenovo TAB S8-50F
Android version: 4.4.2
Kernel version: 3.10.20
Build number: TABS8-50F_S000164_ROW
Software version: TABS8-50F_141103
Hardware version: Lenovo PAD TABS8-50F
Device is 2 days old.
It'd be good to know if this is replicated/observed on other devices.

Well...That's why the update failed to install.If you root the device and uninstall pre-installed system apps(those that you can't normally uninstall) OTA updating stops working.
Try to perform a factory reset (in the hope it will restore those apps...slim chance but worth a try).
If that dosen't work the only way you will be able to OTA update (and,no...manually downloading the update>installing it from recovery also won't work) is to completely reflash the stock firmware(on your own risk).
Unfortunately you'll have to find out how to do that on your own.Sorry
PS:Generally speaking it's better to ''hibernate''(after rooting) not uninstall if you want to OTA update in the future.

Lenovo tab S8-50L - Security HD disappeared after upgrade

Hello, I have bought a Lenovo Tab S8-50L tablet a month ago. In last days tablet informed me about new firmware upgrade.After firmware upgrade application Security HD was removed. How to install and bring it application back? This was helpfull app for me and i would like to use it in future.

US version Lenovo Tab 2 (A7-30F) Not receiving updates. - Make offline downloads available?

I decided it might be best to open a new thread about this issue, since I don't necessarily believe attention is being given to similar threads once marked as "solved." I am a fairly new owner of the A7-30F model Lenovo Tab 2, and it appears that the touchscreen has some kind of software feature, perhaps to prevent "accidental" touches, that makes it respond poorly to user touch input. I know it's not a hardware problem, because when I use the Lenovo companion app to test touch and multi-touch functionality, the touchscreen appears to be much more responsive during diagnostics, but the user interface of that same diagnostics app seems plagued by the same touch resistance. I have read elsewhere on the forum that a software patch has been made available OTA, that resolves the touch issues, but My tablet does not seem to be able to find said update, indicating that I'm already on the latest version every time I check the Software Updater. I even wiped the cache and data from the software updater application, and it still thinks I have the latest software. My question is this. Is there a staggered rollout of these updates, and are they based on geographic constraints? Even if I'm not yet to get the lollipop update, is there a reason the A7-30F_S000027_150624_ROW can't be made available via the downloads area so that it can be applied from local media via the updater app? Can the US version Lollipop update be made available for use with the updater app as well? This should benefit all customers, because it also provides a go-back point in case someone were to upgrade their device to Android 5.x but not like the changes from 4.4.2. Is it safe to assume with 5.x updates being staged and released, that I'm never going to see that 150624 build?

Helloooooo? I this thing on? It's been 4 days since I posed this question. Any chance of getting an official response?

My Lenovo Tab S8-50 will not turn on?

Hi, i bought myself a new Lenovo Tab s8-50 2 days ago and as i went to put it on charge today it was on a 50% battery life so plenty of juice left but i'm going out tonight and so i wanted it filled up. After coming back after a few hours the tablet will not turn on it just has a black screen. the charger is on and anyway it would not lose 50% of its battery on idle just after a few hours. Is this a fault commonly know and can i fix it? Please help. Thanks, Tom

Weird problem. I would go to the shop from where you bought it. Or you could try turning it on with power button pressed for like 20 secs or power+both volume buttons.

Try temporarily turning off all your firewall and antivirus software until the download has completed.
An alternative is to try downloading the update via a browser : https://discussions.apple.com/message/16703914#16703914

LENOVO TAB 2 A10-70 lollipop issues report everybody.

Recently lenovo give the lollipop update to the LENOVO TAB 2 A10-70,but everybody has reporting serious bug's in this tablet after made the update,please can you put all your issues related with lollipop?Lenovo is not interested in bring a bug's fix for this tablet?

Omg, where do I begin? First of all I can't even bring up the **bleep** keyboard to type this response. I'm using the tablet right now to type this message in another application so I can cut and paste. Lenovo Tab 2 A7-10F Android 5.01 Lollipop ROM bugs: 1.

(Wiped all Dolby app data) [Fixed issue] 3. Poor Wi-Fi reception & range. (Seriously you have to be right next to the **bleep** source of the Wi-Fi signal or else it's slow as F****. [Unresolved issue] 4. Bluetooth connection issues.

I can't begin to tell you how F**** annoying this is and it happens often. This tablet does not have a proximity sensor and I theorize is using the crappy camera adhoc to shut the screen off. [Unresolved issue] Looking back I should have purchased a Nexus 9. I wasted more time and gray hair than I expected and still have issues unresolved. I will never purchase another Lenovo Tablet.

Do you recomended a lollipop update to LENOVO TAB 2 A10-70?

I found some many complaints about that updated, please lenovo what happened ???I just buy a LENOVO TAB 2 A10-70 today and have some many bugs with the Dolby app,WiFi,......I just wait to see if lenovo is working on any update,I have 15 days to return this tablet....please this tablet is great.... Not leave alone lenovo

I figured that I'd give the update a try and if it didn't work out then I'd return it and buy another to keep KitKat... I'm happy to say that the upgrade to Lollipop went smoothly and everything appears to be working correctly - no issues with WiFi, audio, battery life or anything else that I can observe. I initially thought that web browsing performance was a bit slower, but after some more use I now think it is at least equal if not better than KitKat. I don't bother with benchmarks, for me it either feels good or it doesn't. I upgraded my tablet shortly after receiving it, so I had not installed many apps before upgrading to Lollipop and the tablet was fairly clean. The upgrade went very smoothly, taking about 15 minutes to install. I received the architectural error others have mentioned after the primary upgrade, but ignored it and continued to install the last update that followed. The last update suggested performing a factory reset which I did, and when the tablet rebooted all errors were gone. All in all it was a painless experience and I am satisfied with the result. I think two factors might be causing others some trouble... I personally would start with a clean tablet, so if you have installed many apps I would perform a factory reset both before and after the Lollipop update. My screen never went black for long, but in any event once the update starts you should just leave the tablet alone until it completes. I set the sleep timer to max so it wouldn't power down while the update is in process. Curiously, the major update to 5.01 Lollipop was identified by Lenovo as simply bug and stability fixes (but 1300+ MB), while the last patch with bug fixes had much more verbage and warned of data being deleted, and also mentioned performing the factory reset... Lenovo should improve their changelog notes for these patches because the biggest one doesn't very clearly state it is upgrading to Lollipop. Anyway, its cool that Lenovo keeps updating the tablet, Asus never provided any updates to my old Memo Pad FHD10. The Tab 2 A10 is a great deal and I'm very happy with it.

Suggestions for sturdiest cases for Lenovo Tab 2 A10 tablet?

Hi, I'm thinking of buying a Lenovo Tab 2 A10 tablet and I'm also looking to get a sturdy case to put it in. The sturdier case (like military grade even) the better. I looked up many sites that all show cases for the Galaxy Tab 2. It looks pretty much the same in size, but I could make out judging only by the photos if all the port holes were also compatible with the Lenovo tablet. I'll also contact Lenovo customer support to see if the recommend a list of cases, but right now I was wandering if anyone knows/owns of a sturdy case that could do the trick. thanks.

Lenovo tab A7-40 Rubbish bin dissapeard

I just got brand new Lenovo tab A7-40 with Android 4.2.2. When I brought it home all was fine, then when I connected tab to the WI-FI an update appeard and after applaying the update- the RUBBISH ICON is gone. I went to the shop and got another tablet as replacement. Came home all was fine..... until same update done same thing. Factory reset does not help.
Do you know what is wrong?
please help
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Unfortunately your video is private....I can't watch it.
That being said...There's nothing wrong with your tablet,just got updated to Android 4.4 and Lenovo's Android 4.4 new UI=User Interface(you were running Android 4.2 before).
On the old 4.2 UI to remove/uninstall an app you had to long press on the app's icon and drag it to that RUBBISH ICON.
Now on the new UI(and on Android 4.4 devices in general) things are a lot simpler: Just long press on the desired app icon and then press the ''X'' situated on the upper left side of the icon.....That's it....No more ''RUBBISH ICON'' on Android 4.4 KitKat.
Hope this helps.
Cheers.
