Just a couple of observations that might help others out.

Hey guys,
This forum has been wonderful for me so I thought I would pass along my own personal experience with a couple of items.
First 'the Clip' case - great - I love mine. For those that have had concerns about the main home/back/menu/search buttons not being lighted, the clip is perfect for helping to find these keys. If you insert your tablet camera up (not upside down to uncover the usb port), the right hand clip is the perfect tactile way to find menu (just above) and back (just below). A good way to navigate these buttons in darker settings.
Second - the static/hissing/white noise problem people have experienced. I know several people have indicated it is a hardware problem and to replace your tablet, that was not an option for me as it did not start until after the 30 day return period. I have found, however, that if you set your screen to NEVER sleep and instead use the power buton to put the screen to sleep, it cuts down on the occurences significantly. Additionally, if it does happen (it has happened twice in the last week), it recovers for itself. You get the noise for ONLY the existing sound that is supposed to be playing and the next sound (whether it is a feedback sound, a notification, etc), it will have corrected itself. At least that's what my experience has been.
To all the developers out there (and especially roebeet) - thanks for everything, I love this tablet due to your hard work. I am running TnT lite 4.2.5 and am very happy with it.

how do you get the screen to never sleep?

Go to settings, display, screen timeout and set to never.

I understand you in regard of this XD i've been having this sound problem, but bought mine overseas (i'm from Chile) and my brother threw the boxing into the trash, so doubt that there is a cheap way to replace mine .
Do you prefer some ROM in particular? Now i'm toying with VEGAn 7, but i can't play more than 2 or 3 mp3 songs without getting sound off, i'll try your "fix" to see if the situation improves

hmm.. I guess VeganTAB 5.1.1 doesn't have that option.. bummer..

i had to change the tablet language to english to find that option for some reason

HTC Sensation camera & camcorder issues after OTA update

So hello, my first thread here and I wasn't expecting it to be a negative one
I have had my Sensation since it was released in the US for T-Mobile. I have been pretty happy with it, takes great pictures, videos, quick processor etc...well after this so called "update", everytime I use the camera or camcorder option, the phone's screen wants to timeout...you know, it dims after whatever time you have preset and then it locks the screen. Well it never did that before when I was taking pictures or videos so if this is a way to "save" battery life, then someone is not thinking before they act. There is nothing more frustrating than taking a video and in the middle of it the screen darkens and 2 seconds later it locks and turns the video off. Sure you can touch the screen with your other hand but: 1) Creates a shakier video trying to touch the screen while you are filming and 2) You don't always have an empty hand...
I really hope there is a fix for this..

Similar issue with camera & camcorder
I am also having a similar issue with the camera & camcorder apps. After performing OTA update, they gave me a black screen. I rebooted to see if that would help, but now the apps just open for a second with a black screen and white icon and then shut down immediately. I'm going to try factory reset and see if it helps. I've read in other forums that it's a bug with the shutter and the phones were returned. Will post my results here.

Well, no dice. After doing factory restore and deleting a bunch of apps I still get the same trouble with the camera/camcorder. I've got insurance on it and an old HTC HD2 (rooted and running Froyo) that I'm becoming very fond of, so I'll be returning this phone but I would like to know what the issue is.

I am sorry you are facing the issue but i just checked and my camera is working fine for me as of now at the OTA update

Camera and Speaker Problems

I seem to be having some random hardware issues with my nexus 5. I've had it for about fourteen months with no problems, but in the last couple of weeks I've started having problems with the camera and the speaker.
About 40% of the time the camera works fine. 50% of the time the camera app fails with a "can't connect to the camera" error. The remaining 10% of the time, the camera app starts, but the image shown on screen is all one color, or it does the normal preview overlayed with bands of flashing colors. If I take a picture when it does the bands of color, the band of color are stored in the picture.
The speaker is about 50/50 as to whether it works or not. When the speaker is not working nothing works. No ringtones. No notifications. No touch sounds. No music. It will cut out and in during play sometimes. The other day when someone called, it finally started ringing in the middle of the ringtone. I once heard a single note in the middle of a notification.
Rebooting sometimes fixes both problems, but it's not a gauraunteed fix. I've tried several different ROMs including both stock Kit Kat and Lollipop, as well as others. The problem persists in all ROMs.
Anyone seem this before? It seems like it almost has to be a hardware issue because it persists their multiple ROMs.

The camera error is due to something else using the camera HAL (or something using it but then not releasing it properly afterwards). Culprits range from torch applications (which use the camera HAL to trigger a continuous flash) or various social media apps (video calls, instant photo sharing). I don't use anything of the sort, I only use my camera as a camera, and I don't have such issues - whereas the people that get this error almost always use such apps.
Your speaker issue could be a hardware issue if it happens regardless the software. Have you ever dropped your device or given it excessive shock?

I had the same camera problem as you, no amount of clean wiping etc helped so I contacted Google and got an RMA, this is bearing in mind that I bought my phone in Nov 13.
I received a "refurbished" phone, but it was actually brand new and now it's working great.

You were right about the Camera! My problem was the Google Messenger app. I removed it, and went back to the Kit Kat AOSP messenger app, and my camera has worked since.
One problem down, but I am still having the intermittent sound issue. My phone has been dropped and banged around some. Nothing significant that I can think of recently, but that is certainly a possibility. Truthfully, I can live with the sound problem a lot easier than the camera problem.

After a few weeks of no sound and no camera, I've finally solved the problem. I took my phone apart, and cleaned it out with compressed air. I polished up the contact points on all the spring type contacts to the back of the case. I put it back together and everything is working!

I seem to be having a very similar problem. If I just lightly touch the 'S' of the nexus logo on the back cover, the speaker kicks in. Let go, and it cuts out. But before I open it up, (hate doing this), looking at all the break down pics of the nexus 5, I don't see any contacts related to the speaker? The speaker is apparently a single unit at the bottom of the phone? Can anyone explain the contact points for the speaker as it relates to the back cover especially around the center of the phone?? Thank, much appreciated.

A9 WiFi issue, added 2 cents

I have an issue with WiFi on my factory unlocked A9.
When on WiFi and using Flipboard, a lot of times the page will refuse to load with, "No connection, retry". I flick back and try again, and it works. If I turn off WiFi and use data, I never get that. But, about 50% of the time, I will get the "No connection, retry" notice but as soon as I flick back and try again, it works about 90% of the time. Sometimes, it will take 3 or 4 flicks back and forth. BUT, this never happens if I turn WiFi off. My WiFi is my home network and I'm sitting within 10 feet of the router, signal strength is not the issue.
Also, when watching a video that was linked inside Flipboard, my A9 will refuse to play the video in landscape mode, just keeps cycling between the play symbol and the pause symbol. But, if I leave the video in portrait mode, hit play, then after it starts playing turn the phone on its side for landscape, the video will keep playing without a problem. It will not play initially in landscape mode at all.
My A9 is completely stock factory unlocked version with the latest ota updates. Everything else about the phone works fine, with the exception of the above two issues. I get great battery life since the last ota update and am very happy overall with the phone.
Not happy about not being Gorilla Glass 4 and my glass is not flat. When you look at my screen at an angle against a light source, the screen is very wavy, I mean the worst I've ever seen on any of my phones. I do not feel anything so can't tell if this reflection is off the surface or below the surface. My old Galaxy S5 screen doing the exact same thing is flat as could be, no distortion at all but the A9 looks like the image is on acid or something, disconcerting.
Thanks for any help...

Lenovo P2 bugs / issues

Just thought i'd start a thread for owners of the P2 to share any bugs ( and hopefully cures ) that we've come across so far . And to tidy up other threads that may get clogged with these issues .
i've had mine now for just over 2 weeks and so far its been somewhat of a disappointment. The issues i've come across so far are ...
1 - Audio sync .. regardless of app used the audio sync is out with the video . It gets even worse when trying to steam a video through a web browser ( and i've tried a few different ones just to make sure its not a chrome issue ) . streaming audio from internet radio is bad too . After 20 minutes or so the sound breaks up completely .
2 - Low volume in recorded videos .. The noise suppression / noise cancellation kicks in within one second when you record a video . what sound you are left with is similar to an old gramophone record .
3 - Notifications .. Seems to be an issue with the phone going into deep sleep , no notifications come through . I've read a few people saying turning off app optimization for the affected apps helps , but i don't think it makes any difference .
4 - tap to wake .. tap the screen twice , sorry 22 times to wake up the phone .
5 - SD card formatting .. freezes every time i try to format a memory card ( which has worked perfectly in galaxy S5 ) as internal or external memory .
6 - high CPU usage at idle .. I've seen this on a few other forums too . cpu starts sticking at 1.6ghz after the phone has been running for a few days . I've done a clean wipe and installed no other apps or removed any and its still present .
And the most amazing thing is i haven't seen any of these issues raised in any reviews of the phone either
So feel free to add any comments or fixes if you come across them . This could be a fantastic phone if only the gremlins are fixed .
And could you please state which firmware version your phone is running .. I'm on P2_056_uk

1,3,4 are the problems which i am also facing ..
Thanks for this post , and i have some points to add
7) "Ok Google" Hot word Doesn't work
- i have tried GoogleNow Launcher with all set, but sadly Google assistant fails to respond every time
8) Some times Gyroscope/ Accelerometer sensor goes bonkers
-i noticed that while i was playing Asphalt extreme game.. my Steering goes Out of control
finally a very bad thing which isn't a bug but annoying me a lot is -
i've got an app which does the function of DOUBLE TAP TO SLEEP , ( we can put the same in Novalauncher also, under gestures) This is using Accessibility service so when i use FINGER PRINT or any kind of SMART LOCK it always asks me to put my PATTERN LOCK even after keeping my finger across the sensor ..
and this is very disturbing.. as a result i had to disable FINGERPRINT unlock and use DOBULE TAP TO WAKE in which i again face problems .....huh...
if there is anyway to overcome it.. please suggest me a way

1) I have heard about that issue from quite a few user but i have never faced that issue.
2) Not recorded video much so cant say
3) Not facing this issue
4) Yup it works only 5 out of 10 times
5) Never tried
6) Haven't paid attention to the CPU usage

I confirm no. 3:
"Notifications .. Seems to be an issue with the phone going into deep sleep , no notifications come through . "
- I noticed that when i unlock the phone emails and notifications are being pushed. I am still bench-marking the battery and as soon as i have done a couple of cycles to get a feel of the battery life i get i
will try and play around with the battery optimization settings in the settings.
These are working fine with my mobile, Made in china one (i know there are 2 types available):
4 - tap to wake .. tap the screen twice , sorry 22 times to wake up the phone .
- Do you by any chance use a thick screen protector that might not register the double tap?
- I don`t actually use this feature as i have the finger print unlock feature active and I use that to wake the phone.
5 - SD card formatting .. freezes every time i try to format a memory card which has worked perfectly in galaxy S5 as internal or external memory .
- I formatted an older SD card from my Xioami phone in the Lenovo and had no issues (it warned me that it might be slower and suggested to get a faster one) but i had no issues.
- From my past experience (also outside mobile device use) SD cards are verry sensible, i had some of them die out of a sudden or not being readable across devices.
Possible new bug, sometimes switching from Wifi to GSM or back i noticed i had no data connection, after toggling Airplane mode on and off it works fine.
Only noticed it once so take it with a grain of salt.

Interference noise when using headphones
When listening to music via headphones there is lots of electrical interference type noise. If I turn volume to zero it stops. It also stops once no sound is being fed to the headphones. Turning the volume up helps to drown the noise out. It's there between tracks most noticeably but also very audible when trying to listen to relaxation music at very low volume which I do a lot of to help me sleep.
It sounds like processor interference of some sort - beeps and electrical sounds but also machine gun 'pips'.
I have discovered that Bluetooth being on makes it WAY worse. If it is switched off it is barely audible - but still there. I need bluetooth on all the ktime for my smartwatch.
It happens on all apps: Spotify, Netflix, YouTube etc. I even hear it when I get notifications.
Anyone else noticed this issue. Would you mind testing for me??

Oh re. the OP numbered issues:
1. I also get the audio sync issue but only on Youtube. Netflix, Amazon Video etc are fine for me.
2. My video's audio is fine so far.
3. Not had phone long enough to notice for sure but I have had notifications come through when it's asleep.
4. Tap to wake worked well for me but I turned it off.
5. I have had real problems with my micro SD cards too. My first card, the P2 said it was faulty or damaged and gave me the option to reformat it. It got to 20% and then the phone completely locked up with a black screen. I had to remove the card to get the phone working again. After that the card is toast and unreadable on any device. The card was fine in my previous phone.
Second card I tried I successfully formatted in the P2. However, after 24 hours without issue, the P2 is now reporting that the card is 'unsupported'?!

My device has a screen flicker problem, occasionally the screen brightness change for a fraction of a second, even with the off auto brightness, other online users have reported this problem.
Other point :
3 - Notifications .. Seems to be an issue with the phone going into deep sleep , no notifications come through . I've read a few people saying turning off app optimization for the affected apps helps , but i don't think it makes any difference .

This is a Android doze scheme problem, you install a "disable doze" app from play store to solve this issue, or use adb method ( This problem is present on several models including the OnePlus 3 ), adb method is temporary untile reboot phone.
adb shell dumpsys deviceidle disable
6 - high CPU usage at idle .. I've seen this on a few other forums too . cpu starts sticking at 1.6ghz after the phone has been running for a few days . I've done a clean wipe and installed no other apps or removed any and its still present .

Someone said the buzzing issue with headphones seemed to calm down when the screen turned off , could be causing interference , but i remember my old moto G2 had the same issue and buzzing stopped once music started playing ( even on very quiet parts of a song you couldnt hear it )
can you confirm the sync issue on BBC Iplayer too BritishBeef . And I tried the card in the galaxy S5 again , formatted straight away . I Forgot to say it was a 64gb sandisk ultra , only a few months old . The strange thing is The P2 created a 15mb partition and that was all the samsung could see , had to remove it and all ok again

Screen off makes no difference unfortunately. It's not a buzz though, it's popping, and electrical chirps and pips.

I think its some form of noise suppresion that kicks in once the music starts playing , very annoying all the same though
You know i'm starting to wonder if the phones actually made by lenovo , awful lot of similarly specced devices coming out of china at the mo
Forgot to say if anyone comments could you also say which firmware version you have too .. I dont think the bugs are firmware specific , but its good to see if they are present in any updates

Unable to for now I'm afraid as I have packaged it up to return it. Going to get another one but buy it in a store this time. I bought the original online from Three (UK) and just spent 90 minutes on the phone to an Indian call centre to arrange a return. One of the most painful calls of my life

I wonder how many returns 3 have had so far ???

I bought mine free of contract from an online shop, unbranded and unlocked.
Currently am on the latest build number available, P2a42_S062_170117_ROW.
Ran also CPU-Z and my CPU usage is when i start the app for 1 second at 1.6Ghz then goes down to 652Mhz, so no issues for now.

hi, i have problem with the NFC...
apparently he is really very little sensitive and i cant use it on my bluetooth headset but bluetooth work fine if i connect it manually...
Same issue with my SRS-X77 but I manage to make it work with a lot of patience...
Have you already tried it?

Well you issues are not bad comparing to mine. Seems like my lateral button of the extreme saving mode is still ON! Never dropped the mobile, neither dropped in water or hit some hard surface. Looks like i can't go off that saving mode, even moving the button.
So, is like 4 days that i have a nice mobile with calls and text available, plus calculator and the basic features but no way to switch back to my apps :s
I asked the assistence cuz i still have the warranty and they'll let me know what to do, if they can fix it or i have to ship it back, ah i did already the wiping date of the mobile with a reset.
Stay tuned for more!

I bought my second P2 today. It has the same sound interference issue as my first one
To reiterate, when listening on headphones and the volume is low (like listening to chillout or classical, meditation etc.) there is electrical type interference sound. I have been experimenting and have isolated to problem to WiFi. If I turn WiFi off on the phone it stops altogether. Also, I think that the more data that's transferring, the more interference.
It is there whatever is playing - music, Netflix etc. Even when notifications play it can be heard. Obviously if the volume is turned up it is far less/not noticeable but it is always there.
I have managed to capture a recording of the issue:

This was at low volume as it illustrates the problem best but it's clearly heard in the recording.
I captured this audio by using a 3.5mm audio cable to output the audio from my Lenovo P2 to the AUX-in on a speaker system. I then placed another phone next the speaker to record the audio using an audio recorder app. The uniform static background hiss is produced by the app.
I LOVE everything else about this phone but as someone that uses my phone for music for many hours a day I cannot ignore these sounds.
I find it hard to believe that I can be unlucky enough to get two faulty P2's so there must be many more with this issue if not all and no-one else has noticed the issue yet.
I have tried 4 different sets of headphones and the issue is the same.
