Although the latest build seems to be much improved, and I haven't seen any complaints so far, I am still getting audio dropouts on occasion. I have noticed a connection between the dropouts and browser usage. It seems as though the browser is hogging the CPU at times on some pages and the sound goes crazy then silent until the page loads. Is anyone else experiencing this or is it just my installation? It seems to be somewhat random and happens with both the stock and Dolphin browsers.
Not a complaint by any means, just curious. Maybe a setting I am overlooking?
I have not seen that issue with mine ,that I have noticed anyway I did have a SOD yesterday morning on current rom let's hope he post the newest rom with video soon and this will be stable enough for daily use
Is anyone having problems with lagginess? Mainly opening the app drawer?
I don't so much get the SOD as I do an occasional mini-SOD... screen will go black on wake up and then take a longer time than usual to wake up.
I wonder if the lagginess is due to the ROM not being optimized yet or if it's related to using Trebuchet as the launcher.
Eh. time will tell. I can always go back to cm7 for now
did have lag as you say, my memory was quite full, so i deleted all backup roms from twrp and its faster. (backed up backups on pc first).
has the rotation issue been sorted?. sorry to ask but i followed the thread from the start and apart from the slowing down by jackpot i havnt heard a thing about it for ages.

audio seems perfect on mine. no drop outs yet
My only complaint and not really one is that I get this little random pop up box with something written on it every now and then on build date 1/19 it goes away super fast so I can't read it and doesent seem to do anything so not a problem just a complaint. But I have had 0% lag unless I have a lot of apps open which is understandable lag.

I saw that once too. I couldn't read it either, so I have no idea what it was.

I have not noticed the pop up box yet. I would say it would be a memory issue with you lag that you are seeing and remember its alpha right now it will get faster and tuned like a fine machine in due time
Newer build out now, will take it on latest drive.
It does have the markings of weak memory management. I have had the occasional random reboot here and there as well. I don't expect it to change with this latest build as I don't think it has been focused on. With time it will improve.

Thanks ardensky, I didn't even think of pointing to the post myself.
ROM loaded and running as I type this.
Youtube is playing the HQ with sound, here. Perhaps the build prop modification, done yesterday.
Hi does anybody reading this have the similar issue? If so do you know the solution or how to fix this issue?
1. Adobe Flash. A small little issue I've been also having that Adobe flash on my Android gives me issues, when I play a video on the browser it usually takes a couple of seconds for the video to show, sometimes it doesn't so I have to reload the page
2. Ever since I've flashed and rooted my device, on the screen I've been getting a little bit of this wavy thing at the bottom of my screen, almost as if it's loosing power down at the bottom of the screen....If that makes sense.
If you know a solution or is facing this problem, please let me know. Or post the solution?
It'll be a great big help! Thanks and thanks for your time! Much appreciate!
my opinion is:
the flash player, it playing streaming software player flash.....it may lag just a little but its not that big a deal is it really?
the wavy lines, i would say look into of a its a defective tab and if you have receipt take it back for a replacement
i wouldnt say defective tab, have had mine for a year, and after flashing over to tabonney's ICS i get an odd flicker too, as for flash, its trying to render what computers play, with just much less hardware resources to use. Its slow and thats the way its going to be.
My video issues aren't like yours Mkami... But if I might suggest making a full backup, then reflash your rom. Maybe you'll get lucky and the issue will go away.

You know, I've been waiting on someone to mention the odd flicker. Does your tab do it when either, a 3d game or app is running, or maybe on a home screen that has an email widget? And does the tablet seem to still be reacting normally to touch input other than the fact that the screen doesn't show any change? I am thinking about sending my tab in over this for warranty work. I got mine over a year ago too. Sure am glad I paid with plastic, got an extra year warranty for doing it. I just wonder what they are gonna say about the bent corner where it hit the pavement...

With pached bootloader and any rom on this site and stock I got
screen flicker, very poor battery, not so smooth scrolling and host of other gliches. (all compared to ota). Flashed back to stock ota and not looked back. No problems. It seemed to me that the problems are not in the roms because stock had the same problems, it the act of changing the bootloader. Just what I have seen, try it just to get rid of the screen problem, go to ota stock no mods and it will be gone.

You know, that's kind of what I've been thinking. I've been testing by going back and forth between bootloaders. So far that is the best explaination. I'll likely go back to stock again soon. But it seems like I remember it doing it at least once on the stock bl...
When I first updated to ICS, all was well. Within a couple weeks, Flash video got laggy, the browsers got laggy, and I got the occasional screen flickers. I backed everything up and did a hard reset and it's been great ever since.
I haven't heard a really good explanation for all this, but a good theory is leftover files remaining on the system, or possibly file fragments, are interfering with the OS. A hard reset purges the old crap out... regardless of the explanation, it's known to fix these problems.

Awesome, glad that you were able to get to normal. It didn't help me tho... I might start a different thread for this if it keeps up. I don't want to hijack Mkami's thread with a different problem. Thank you for the help.
Hey everyone thanks for the advices and different problems you guys are facing.
Sorry for my poor explanation... When I mean screen "wave" what I really meant is screen flicker
I found a semi cure for this...Though I don't know about other peoples tablets, all I did was raise the brightness of the screen and the flicker seemed to not show, I must say though that flicker doesn't really much bother me as it does with the flash, but I guess I have to live with it, just a heads up, my tab isn't defective. Truthfully when I do go to stock ROM everything on the device including the flicker goes away, it's only when I flash my device that I notice that, but I am pretty sure there might be a solution for that one or another, because a buddy of mine has the same tablet, which is why I got that a500. I love it and I love android way much more than any other.
Anyways, I hope Flexreaper releases a new rom soon, really am excited with anticipation. Can't wait to see what he has in store for us.
I am going to try that hard reset and fully restoring the device after a nandroid backup and test and reflash and check if anything works with a good
result I shall post up the steps and how to fix this little issue.
I thank you all! Please post if anybody else has this issue or solution down! Much appreciated! Thanks! :laugh:
I wonder if anyone is also experiencing sensitivity issues with the new 38R OTA.
In my case It is evident when scrolling (homescreen, twitter, whatsapp....) and typing. Also the capacitive buttons seem a bit unresponsive from time to time.
What about you guys?
Edit: here you have the prove (bad scrolling and multitouch problem) i think i am going to RMA

I am really not sure... the last couple days I was on 33R CM11S with AK kernel and did not notice the problem at all. But it is not something that happens often in my case. So it is possible that I just did not wait long enough for it to appear.
I will stay on stock cm11s 38R for a few more days and then probably switch back to AK kernel to see if my previous experience is reproducible.
Did you even try to use a different kernel? Did you still have the issue?

I have to admit that I don't understand exactly what to do. But it might become clearer if I get frustrated enough to actually open up the phone
Please let me know if you try it and it works.
Touch screen is still going to be an issue. You can check the original bug which was reported here (still says in progress) https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/BACON-55

You should just know that OPO's customer service while polite, will give you the run around a while. Took me about a month before they finally granted the RMA.

Will they RMA for a refund or just a new phone? I'm not convinced this will ever be fixed in software, and I'd rather go back to a mainstream manufacturer at this point.

They will, at least, replace your phone. I did and am waiting for my new one to arrive. If multitouch issues remain (and most likely will) i'll ask for a refund. I don't really care if the phone is "cheap for specs", this flaw is unacceptable.
My S3 is much worse hardware wise and feels SO much better while typing or anything else touch related. I did have to open a ticket and later show up a few videos of multitouch malfunctioning to oneplus. They decided it was a malfunctioning unit and i was eligible for a replacement. They never mentioned bacon 55 or a "known issue" common to every phone that would be solved at some point later on.
It's taking forever too. It's been over a month and it's mainly their fault because they take so long to reply to every single email. They did ask my VAT number before hand so they could send an invoice with it to my customs that would facilitate the returning process. Despite that, my phone got stuck on my country's customs precisely because they sent them an invoice without it and was up to me to ask it to oneplus. I waited about a week for what seems an poorly excel made document (compared to my country's invoices this is a joke of a document ). I sent it to the courier who picked up and they forwarded it to customs. Stuff went smooth from that point on. Oh yea, i'm from Portugal and even though my phone was sent to me from the UK the first time, to return a phone, you're going to send it to Hong Kong. All free of charge. I did have to print loads of pre made documents (about 10 pages?), because apparently sending anything with a battery is a big deal safety wise.
Even though they are, like someone said, polite, they do take a good while to reply to anything and aren't very keen to answer to anything that falls a bit out of their "process". For example, I've asked them several times if they would send me a new phone before or after a return mine. They never really cared enough to answer. Their English also seems translated by google sometimes. Several different people may take care of the same case. I've had about 5 or 6 different names reply to me and they all just use their first name like "Wilona". It made me stop to think i was sending my already paid phone to some place across the world because this randomly named guy told me so by email - in any other different scenario this would scream of a scam. But I've placed my RMA through an official ticket on their website, they actually made a new order request from their store on their website, they use very well known couriers with tracking numbers and it's the only way i'm ever getting a chance of having a properly working phone.
I did warn them before sending my "faulty" unit back they can expect me asking for a full refund if this new one isn't working any better.
I have been on liquidsmooth rom since I got the phone, no problems with touchscreen whatsoever, Installed new 38 CMS today and started to experience that problem. Also, cms lags compare to AOSP, this is pretty weird

Flashing ColorOS for me gave a much better touchscreen experience, things worked flawlessly in all apps for me(Amazon is my biggest issue, any scrolling over a description/review would select it and move you to that section to read it, does not happen at all in ColorOS), so im thinking its software

What is the touchscreen issue that people are referring to? Mine seems perfect? The only issue is the slight yellow at the bottom but you only notice it if you actually go looking for it.

Mines slightly yellow at the bottom, appears to be getting a bit better though, unless thats just my eyes playing tricks on me. I haven't noticed touchscreen issues except i can't seem to press the spacebar properly
My touchscreen seems to be very picky as to where I touch. Sometimes it takes a few attempts. Since 38 I have had random reboots. I m stock rooted without anything else flashed.

If you can say that you're a lucky one. It can render your phone completely unusable. Imagine your phone randomly assuming touches when you're not even touching it, non stop (stuff opening, key input, etc). You can't do anything else while it happens and the only way to stop is by rebooting. 5 to 10 times a day, everyday. Also, just about anything multitouch like simply zooming on a webpage has a 50% chance of working or send your phone spazing on a zooming in/out frenzy. So I'd say it isn't exaggerating, you just aren't experiencing the worse of it.
Hello all,
I bought this device 2 days ago. Since there isn't much info about it yet, I thought I'd post some benchmark results and my personal experiences with it:
Antutu 5.7.1 64bit: 46929
Antutu 5.7.1 32bit: 44842
A1 SD Bench:
Tests done on internal memory
Sequential read: 110,8MB/s
Sequential write: 45.69MB/s
Random read: 48.72MB/s
Random write: 1.47MB/s
Browser experience is acceptable. But webpages using javascripts are lagging like a older generation tablet (like my old Asus transformer TF700). When I turned off java scripts in chrome, it was much smoother, but missing features provided by java script.
Sound is loud and clear. Some distortion at the highest levels though. Still the best tablet sound you can get I reckon.
Screen is really bright and crispy. Had some minor issues with the touch. A couple of times it hasn't been responsive. But after reboot it has been ok again.
Projector feature is cool. Don't really have anything to compare with. But I watched Terminator Genesis on a white wall in a dark room, and it's really a nice experience for a portable device. I travel alot with work, so as an entertainment system on the go this suits me fine.
yeah, Lenovo starts to Microsoft more and more as time goes on...
a new version, minor changes more expensive, same (bad) experience
Lenovo Yoga Tab 65.2 Pro huh? buzz inside, lenovo outside, tap for daa deee daa doo, now as a preinstalled system app (dadedado_v23.4.apk)
I've had it since 24 oct. Love the HW, hate the SW. Chrome is really laggy/slow. And I have the issue with the screen not recognizing touches several times, really annoying.
I will use it mostly for watching movies/series while travelling so I'll survive anyway, but it should not perform this poorly! I hope an OTA will fix this..
Edit: The multitask is also really bad. Why would they change the stock one for something that slow??
Had mine a couple of days. Everything fine apart from browser. Chrome slow and Dolphin crashes all the time. Sound excellent and screen and projector above expectation. Battery superb.
hi, is there a way to root it yet?
I just got an OTA update which brings us the multi tasking / recent apps from stock Android and an overall better performance with less stuttering.
Awesome!!
Thanks for the heads up. Funny there was no notification. Seems to be a new kernel build .
As for rooting it looks like this should work http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/intel-android-devices-root-temp-cwm-t2975096
AYOR. Haven't had time to try yet.
Yeah, that tiny update (18mb) fixed alot! Keep it up Lenovo!

Thank god for the update. Fixed my main issues. Anyone know what restmode is? (the "moon" in notification bar)
Seems to increase screen timeout in 3 steps by 30secs/step.

Just a small question: is there a way to use multi window on this tablet?

Hey all. I received this tablet today and love the screen and sound quality. The projector is adequate for tv shows/films and overall, for the price the tablet with built in projector is well worth the money.
The media for it says it comes with a Netflix widget built in and I saw it in a review I watched but mine didn't come with it? Did anyone else actually get it? Seems weird they make a big deal about it then leave it off. It's no major biggie as the app works and with the 4 speakers it sounds amazing but, because they said it had the widget, I want the widget! hehe

I got the new OTA too but didn't see any changelog. Bigger update than the last and the tablet does feel faster/smoother since. Previously I did have some stutters when scrolling in Facebook and moving from app to app but it definitely seemed better today.
anyone with LTE version got those updates ? I read in another forum that theres still no update for multiwindow on LTE version :crying:
Hi, it is normal that the projected image is more blurry on the left side?
I would like to know if anyone else is having the problems I am having, and possible a solution.
Multiple times a day and seemingly random times, the phone heats up temendesly and starts lagging really badly, sometimes so bad I can't even unlock it.
I can't figure out if something is causing it because alot of the time it starts happening while its in my pocket, locked. Alot of the time when it does heat up it just stays hot, so I have to turn it off and leave it for 5-10 minutes to allow it to cool down. Once it has cooled down and I switch it back on, it seems to stay cool (Untill it has another episode and overheats again).
But then other times, I can be watching videos or playing games and it is very responsive and doesn't heat up more than it should, how ever this is rare.
I searched the forums but only found one related post. They had their phone replaced once, and so have I for other reasons. Could I have a defective unit?
Are there any apps I can use to monitor resource usage to maybe see if its a rougue app or system process?
I will also mention that I am using the Hyperion extended battery for the phone, but im not sure if it plays a roll in the issue, as the battery itself does not seem to get hot, only the CPU (I can feel it very hot where the figureprint scanner is)
I have not tested the phone with the stock battery, how ever I may try this.
Thanks,
Well I have had mine a few days. And compared to other phones I have had, it at times while locked does seem a bit warmer. However it hasnt concerned me much, or been truly "HOT" as in 90c and up.
Only time my phone got extremely hot was on first boot out the box for about 30 min. I would definitely suggest seeing how it behaves over a day with stock battery, if for nothing more than process of elimination.
Not sure if your rooted? And I'm not sure any kernel has it, but the IntellX governor sits at 300mhz while locked. Useful for keeping temps down. Also kernel auditor (needs root) shows cpu/gpu/battery temps right on the "overall" section.
Not sure what other apps you have, but possibly have some kind of runaway process(s)? have you tried safe mode for a day to see if it still happens?

I might try stock battery tomorrow if I can find where I put it.
Not rooted currently.
Also not sure how to boot to safe mode?
Also just to clarify, it overheats all the time, not just when locked. I will try a temp monitoring app to see what its at when its overheating
Safe mode
With the screen on, press and hold the Power key.
In the options menu that displays, press and hold Power off.
When prompted to restart in Safe Mode, tap OK.
After your device restarts, it displays Safe mode at the bottom of the screen.
Uninstall apps that are causing a problem.
Turn off safe mode
With the screen on, press and hold the Power key.
In the options menu that displays, tap Power off and restart.
The device will restart and Safe mode overlay will no longer show on the screen.
So I haven't tried stock battery or safe mode, but I did a reset on the phone. The phone has been running great. After about 2 weeks now its starting to slow again, heat up a lot more. I am really puzzled to why this is happening. I'm not sure if it is a app I have installed. Are there any apps that monitor usage on the phone? Or any other ideas why I keep experiencing these problems.
Same issue here, I fixed it by flashing a kernel that has rctd removed. Maybe systemless rooting can cause the root checking service to bug out and start spawning numerous loops until it is using up a large percentage of CPU.
To be honest there's is no fix to this. Android kinda sucks and with Development coming to a stop for this phone I'm afraid this is as fast as you're going to get it going. I suggest looking into making your own rom or getting a better optimized phone. This is of course my two cents.

Not true as dleclair in the post obove you stated you can stop all lag with this device. Since removing the files on my phone it has never lagged. Snappy as a fresh install

I've tried all custom kernels for h918 and its all the same. Maybe it works for you but didn't work for me

But if we are honest here, the phone should not be slowing down after a few weeks usage. It should stay running almost as good as a fresh phone/reset. My old GN3 slowed down after all my apps, sure, but not like this phone does.

Maybe i'm confused by what you mean, but doesn't that mean that should only affect me if I am Rooted? Although I am thinking of rooting and trying different Kernels if it helps.
These are the types of issues I am getting. I know someone else through my job who has the same phone but does not have these issues. Is it faulty? Would a kernel fix it and are there any for my model ? (H990DS) I can't seem to find any for this phone. Send help.

I'm not sure how much useful information you can get from apps without root to monitor your device for troubles like this, but you should at least look into the monitoring capabilities in Android and have the device on for a good amount of time to catch when these performance issues hit. hopefully it is just a rogue app
It is very easy to fix Man
By simply replacing the thermal config file

well it's going to take time to figure out something like this out. what I would do is root and then use something like SystemPanel 2 https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-systempanel2-boost-clean-t3552690 and see the live view of what's currently using up CPU. what's good about this app is that it gives you an overview of usage over 3, 8, 24 hours so you can see what was using the most CPU during a certain range of time. but it would be best to see if you can have this app running for a bit and check it right when the lag is occurring.

Right. So I'm a little salty at the moment. I have had ES File Explorer on my phones for probably close to 2 years now. If anyone has used it lately you would know about the anoying notifications that it has. So last night I decided to uninstall it to see if possible ES explorer was causing the lag by indexing my files or something. And lo and behold 30 seconds after uninstalling the CPU cooled down and the phone was USABLE. Played around with it a bit, jumped from app to app, webpage, video, all running as they are supposed to, not super laggy and delayed. I am 99% sure it was ES File explorer giving me grief over the last 12 months owning this phone. I'm really hoping that was the only issue and I can now use my phone as intended. If that's all it was, then thanks for the help from those who are here.

Wouldn't surprise me tbh. Stopped using it 2 years ago when it started being filled with ads and having features bolted onto it. Moved on to Solid Explorer with the FTP plugin, and never once had an issue

Lack of support on a specific variant isn't cause to discredit a whole model. If you wanted support or specific functionality like root, a custom ROM or kernel for example, you research the variant with the most development activity and purchase that one. It's why I got the H990DS, that's still kicking.

Maybe on your next contract renewal look at going a SIM-only plan. Changes your world.
