Lenovo A5000 - User Reviews

  • I have been using this phone since 2015 July. its condition is same as the new piece, incredible battery back up. i didn't find a small complaint for this mobile.

  • lenovo a5000 1st is 3g only, the 2nd sim is 2g only.

  • I bought this phone back in 2015 when it first came out. It has been 3 1/2 years. The one thing i like about this phone is the huge battery. It can last 12-13hrs of web browsing or watching video and 7-8 hrs of gaming. Now the battery capacity is half of the original. I still use the kitkat and haven't upgraded to the lollipop because of the problems with battery drain issues and the other problems. The quality and reliability of the phone is one of the best. My advice to the others using this phone is to delete the old sms message and apps that aren't used anymore and also move photos and video to the micro sd card. This is to preven't the phone from lagging. Also to have as much free storage in the internal memory. Restart the phone daily or regularly before charging to free up ram.

  • is it possible to change its 3G network to 4G ???

  • I earlier upgrade and downgrade many times my phone through system update. it is disaster to phone. But this time I do a factory reset after upgrade and phone works perfectly. battery is stellar. no hangs and issues. Just do factory reset after upgrade. works perfectly. use more than 30 apps. Works smoothly. no hanging. thanks

  • There is an instruction on 4PDA. So first you should make a NVRAM backup. Then you download and extract with WinRAR. You open SP Flashtool and load scatter file from target-bin folder (this folder is located in the folder you extracted). Then you press download, connect phone to PC and wait. Then try to turn on - first time it probably won't turn on, but second time will. That's it. Good luck!

  • My phone got freeze when I'm installing DN and the Over Charger Voltage pop up suddenly without charging my phone

  • not just that.. mine can't even turn the wifi on and some glitches.....😑😑&#128­529;😑

  • Got a Lenovo A5000 on the 1st of June this year and it has been a disaster. Less than 10 days after I got it brand new from a store in Ikeja, Lagos Nigeria it would just freeze, and some keys would stop working, it would just go hot. I have taken it back twice and the board has been replaced, yet its terrible. Right now after it was upgraded to Android 5.0 it no longer recognizes Sims. This and many more. In my own opinion this phone and the Lenovo phones I know and used are a disaster.

  • Yes, you can very easily root the stock A5000 (4.4.2) but it is easy too on Lollipop 5.0.2. which upgrades from OTA. It supports 4g. My phone lasts for 3 days at least, everything on, wifi, 3G, Viber, WhatsApp, FB, sync is on for any app. I use it for work mainly, I have managed 2 weeks of battery by shutting down 3G and sync. Nice phone almost as nice as P780.

  • Calibrate your phone. Download fix and calibrate battery on google play. Charge your phone until 100% and tap the app after that. it will reboot your phone and fix your battery life.

  • Does it support flashdrive adapter?

  • Same is the case withme... Its been 3 4 months since i cant use this device as a PHONE... If anybody got a solution plz plz plz let me know.... Thanx

  • Probably you are using a 1 ampere charger that's why it take so long to get fully charged. It happened to me that's why I bought a 2 amperes charger which is good when you are charging a 4,000 mah battery. A 1 ampere charger is suitable for a 2,000 mah battery.

  • Please tap Android Settings Tap Apps Scroll all the way over to the All heading, the first heading is Downloaded Tap Camera, tap Clear Data Tap back Tap Gallery, tap Clear Data Then reboot. If it does not work install this app from google play Camera MX which I use to make the display fully covered when you compose a picture to shoot.

  • when i turned ON the camera it keeps on displaying UNFORTUNATELY THE CAMERA has stopped. I already tried the clear cache/data and factory reset but it doesnt work at all. Can you help me please?? this is really my problem now...

  • my network data is not working... how to fix it pls???

  • my phone data wont turn on...no H or H+ on the signal logo..how to fix it?? tnx

  • I'm very happy with my Lenovo A5000 which I bought last year. Charging was slow so I bought a 2 amperes charger and it doubles the charging time. I like the specs especially the 4,000 mah battery which last 3 to 4 days for my usage including watching videos on utube. I was disgusted with my former 2,000 mah battery not a Lenovo brand and sold it when I came to know about the 4,000 mah battery of Lenovo A5000.

  • You have to repair it by replacement of LCD and touchscreen

  • is it good to have this phone? since i'm planning to buy it. is it good for games?

  • Been using this phone for almost an year now and i am not good with phones as i rough em up. But considering i only paid 13k for this last yeat in October, it is not so bad. Battery is very impressive and is over all fast. Though snapchat is pretty slow and the app ends up crashing on some filters as the ram and the graphics chip is not good enough to handle it. But that comes to the optimization of the app itself as well as you don't face em with nice games like Into the dead where the fps was good even while i was using a screen recorder to record the gameplay. Another crash issue occurs while using skype, if you try to open chrome skype crashes which i suppose is again due to lack of memory. I have also cracked the screen since it was in my pocket and i hit my thigh against an air hockey table while i was playing. Though the phone has never restarted. Have dropped it many times and is still breathing even with a cracked screen so if you are looking for something in the this price range i think it is a smart choice. Probably cheaper now since i bought it last year.

  • My phone taken too much time for charging,approximately 5hrs for full charge.. Why?

  • 3g signal on sim 1 only Sim 2 gsm@2g not 3g

  • Imho, I guess your cable is having problem? Generic cable will have this problem too. Use cable that can actually support 1.5-2.0A current

  • A5000 : It was a Free Gift with Lenovo Laptop in Dubai Shopping fest. So Initially for me it was temporary phone for few months but extended for a year and above. Was surprised with amazing battery backup lasts for 2-3 days for regular ( call and whatsapp ), though its 1GB the performance with App and Skype it worked way good then I had thought. only improvement required is on camera which is fine for basic photo and scanner. Over all "A Value for Money Phone" - Worth even keeping as a backup phone.

  • I bought my lenovo A5000 around October last year and I have been enjoying it since until February....I started noticing my call log took long to load and my contact list too. I ignored it. later, the phone kept telling me I had no more space in my memory and I needed to delete some apps to create some. I did dt and thought there shouldn't be any problem again. but since the beginning of this week, the phone has been a pain in the ass for me. it takes hours now to load it's contact and and call log. I check the memory and I see that it is zero. but I have not downloaded anything. I rebooted the phone and the memory became normal but after some times, it starts with the problem again. I am tired and frustrated with this . what can I do cos I am a big fan of lenovo and I feel disappointed with dis phone.

  • Been using this phone for two months and all I can say is that this is a total piece of junk. Worth 6k Php, yet it cannot keep up with my Cherry Mobile S4 which is actually 1k cheaper. 4000mAh but very poor in optimization, thus resulting to a very poor battery life. Wifi keeps getting disconnected at an average signal, while the CMS4 can hold on to a very weak one. Total piece of crap. Plus it's under Globe, the shittiest service provider here in the Philippines.

  • Hi friends, Please don't by Lenovo mobiles. I'd like to share my experience, First 3 months there was no issues with this mobile. After I did system update this scrap doesn't receive any mobile network signal. Immediately I went to the service centre, there is no place to sit. I was standing there for more than an our and I got my chance to explain my issue with this mobile. they gave me a jobsheet and said it will take 10 days. During the wait time expect the new customers all the customers who came to take delivery was shouting like anything that the service was worst. After 10 days I went to the service centre to take delivery of my mobile. Again half an hour I was waiting there to take delivery. I was shocked that my mobile touch was not working. Again I gave the mobile for service, same 10 days time. After one month period I went to the service centre to take delivery of my mobile. Still the issue was not yet resolved. The person in the reception told me that "you keep the mobile with you, after 10 days we will call you once the spare arrives", after 10 days there was no reply. No one is ready to pick the call at the service centre. I got irritated and I visit the service centre after 15 days. They replayed the touch but took 1 and half an hour to replace it. I came home and noticed that my front camera was not working. Again I visit the service centre to fix the issue. Again 10 days time, same reply like a recorder from the receptionist. It is almost 2 months over, but they are not able to fix it properly. I'm frustrated and fed up with the service centre of Lenovo. Very very poor customer service from Lenovo. PLEASE DON'T BUY LENOVO MOBILES.

  • how to upgrade android kitkat to lollipop operating system

  • Friends, *This is initial guide for 5.0.2 lollipop users. You are lucky if you're on KitKat version 🌹 But, those who are facing problems in lollipop version, make sure i.e 1.You've upgraded you phone to the latest update available in settings-about phone-system update 2. As lollipop version is disaster for A5000 😫, you must factory reset your phone after upgrading to the latest build number i.e "A5000_S124_151118_8G_ROW" it's the build number 😊 After this your A5000 should be bug less as mine is working smooth. Tysm

  • After upgrading to Lolipop vesion android, it becomes worthless. How to downgrade it kitkat again?

  • Lollipop is Worst , it lags Too Much.... Plus alot of features Missing..

  • Yesterday I have upgraded my phone to lollipop 5.0.2.still it is Working good. But I m very scared because people are saying that lollipop will create problem after sometime. :-/

  • I dont know i got my phone last jan 13 but it update already

  • i have this phone from my globe plan.. it is nice but i have difficulty in sending sms now.

  • In Jordan - very low/weak signal. always no network signal even in 3G COVERAGE. SOME area can reach 1 or 2 bar signal, but other phone ... with same network and same place got 3G and full signal.

  • This is actually a really good phone for it's price range. Battery is extra good. It last about 3 - 5 days. It has a really nice display, it reasonably fast...all in all a really good and quality phone. For those who have this phone or are thinking of buying it, just one recommendation. DO NOT UPGRADE TO LOLIPOP. On KitKat (4.4.2) that comes with the device, the phone works awesome. On lolipop it has so many bugs nad glitches that it hurts. What ever you do, do not upgrade to 5.0.2. You should know that downgrading to KitKat is impossible because you can't find stock firmware for lenovo to download on the internet. As for costume firmware, you can find them and customize your phone this way but you don't have many options. There are only handful of custom firmware's that works good with this phone. All in all, if you what a good phone for basic use with long battery life, this is a phone for you. But if you like to customize your phones, please consider buying some other model and don't torture your self.

  • dont upgrade to lollipop after you upgrading ur phone become very slow

  • Hai friends. I am using Lenovo a5000 since may 2015. No difference I found in battery back up on both KitKat and lolipop updates. For me it takes 5 min to drop 1%of battery. In lolipop latest update (ROM123 )slight speed has been increased. Turn off your log and use clean master battry saver to hibernate apps so that more battery can be maintained. Disadvantage: No led notification No back light buttons for back,minimise. Some time I felt back button response slowly . Friends it got not high spec and also not too low specfctns. average specification which is quiet good for a normal user. Over all its an above average phone.

  • What are the new features for lollipop for a5000

  • Lenovo series/Branded androids phone: When updating new OS update. Backup necessary data on sd card/computer, factory reset the phone. Without logging any google/windows accounts or installing any app/software, turnoff and turn on two times, start updating the phone, try to keep sims off-line while downloading upgrade firmware, on hispeed wifi or 3/4G internet. And installed the update, make a reset on updated phone again and turnoff and on phone twice with the same procedures. This will keep safe the update and doesnot break the android/windows files while downloading/installation time. Downgrade to KiTKAT will effect the touch sensor and will make it hard, just go to Lenovo Sales/service center and make it on KITKAT, then follow the same procedures as i mentioned above. It works, i had the same issue but resolved now. I am only facing Camera resolution issue and waiting for the 3rd built of Lenovo A5000 Contact Hammad@ 03055609229

  • Chabge the default memory u can't install in the SD card it should install in internal memory ;) Achref From Tunisia

  • For those who suffering from sim card problems after upgtaing to lollipop, please remove the sim card before update and follow the steps I menthiod early here. Also some simcrad preloaded sofware is old and/or incompatibale so please check with your mobile carrier if above advice dosen't work. Thanks

  • Iam wondering how it comes not happened with me through any lenovo phones I already updated to lollipop, please download, hardware infromation apps from google play store and check the phone information again. Thanks

  • No, the lenovo said they don't do downgrade and the warranty is only for hardware. So i'll just wait for further update of the Lollipop cuz changes might happen and they will make it stable hopefully

  • Change ur setting camera ....preview size from full size to standard(4:3)

  • As far as I know since the frimware was already updated no way to return back to a previous kitkat version unless you go to an authorized Lenovo repair center, probably they will change the mainboad and the touch. Make sure your phone is under warrently otherwise you will pay for spare parts and its already expensive.

  • Do you find a way to go back to the previous version. I updated my phone and I really don't like it.

  • Try hard rest by following this page

  • After upgrading to Lollipop the main camera became 6 megapixels from 8 megapixels, and the front from 2 megapixels to 1 mega pixels, plus the APN did not work at all, cannot be connected to the internet through data sim. Those who want to buy this phone beware of upgrading it, much better to keep the original kitkat version.

  • root your phone and then uninstall mtklogger using any root uninstaller

  • Where's the screen transition effects in 5.0.2??? Please help

  • i'm trying to update my phone but i can't. i start the update process, download the last version A5000_S123_150929_8G_ROW, when the download finishes, my phone restarts, it seems tha ne update is installing but after a while it restart again and tha "sorry, the flash didn't updated". i have tryied via wifi and via lenovo smart assistant from the pc and it says the same message. did anyone know what to do? thanks

  • cant' send text messages to any number but i can recv and call! I need help! Please reply!

  • I learned these steps from my previous trials with HTC upgrading and should works perfectly for any type of android phones and updates if you follow the steps correctly (I did with many phones brands including Lenovo phones and all updating to Lollipop went OK). Android Lollipop Rom A5000_S123_150929_8g_ROW (5.02) is perfectly and smoothly work with Lenovo a5000 (although some issues like battery drain and Ram usage commonly exist in android) but so many third party apps could resolve such of issues like Clean Master I already used which make my Lollipop a5000 phone better than any android phones around. Finally such of ROM is the best than previous one.

  • where did u learn this steps? and did it work for u?.. what r the new options in lolipop? thanks

  • i cant rotate the screen..plz help

  • My phone had fallen down and since then the phone can't detect the SIM Card in Slot 1. I tried this SIM Card in another mobile but it didn't work and i tried another SIM Card in Slot 1 and also didn't work. can anyone help me?

  • After I upgraded lenovo A5000 to lollipop I can't remove the pattern. Any suggestions how can I remove the pattern? Thanks!

  • Hey Friends For those who want upgrade lenovo a5000 to latest lollipop update A5000_S123_150929_8g_ROW Android 5.02. I will give here my experience for best update without any errors and bugs just follow the steps below: 1- Before upgrading factory rest to original Rom of android Kitkat (make sure your phone is not rooted... its very important to avoid any errors while upgrading). 2- when first startup with android Kitkat don't sing-in to your google account and/or do anything just boot up normally except connect to WiFi and do 2 times reboot (remember don't login to your google account and or install any apps). 3- Download the new lollipop update and stay on the download screen until it finish download. 4- Install the new update and wait completely till it finish (it sometimes takes up to 20 minutes. 5- After complete upgrading connect to WiFi and do 2 times reboot (remember don't login to your google account and or install any apps). 6- Factory rest to Android 5.02 (the process could take 15-20 min). 7- After the phone boot up login to your google account and do what you want the phone is ready now with no errors or bugs. Notes: -------- *Remember this steps is only for upgrading original Kitkat ROM stock only not for costume Roms or Rooted phones. *For those who don't like upgrading and want downgrade to original Kitkat rom, just remember downgrade will damage the phone touch and probably phone won't not responding and hangup in boot up, my advice you should go Authorized Lenovo service center they can do it free of charge if your Phone is still under warranty. Thanks all

  • hi. I bought it and I lenovo A5000 early September. both the battery as much of the screen, processor and other left me excited. When I upgraded from kitkat a lollipop, I felt a change I did not like.I read and all this here and I started and I wish the degradation.I then bought my son a same with kitkat certain. Whenever I had a direct comparison. Please be advised that most stayed in the lollipop because it is better. Thanks.

  • This is the best phone in this category. the battery is awesome,you can talk navigate for 3-4 days whit it.It is not expensive,ind it has good specificatios....

  • This phone is perfect :) battery lasts for days, best gaming experience, userinterface is amazing! Only downside of this is the back camera but the front cam is best ;) Still using this about a week.

  • So are there any downsides to the phone? I mean those of you that have it for some time is it starting to not work properly or the baterry doesn't last that long anymore?

  • Fantastic,this is what I need but how do I change the battery if damaged, since its not removeable ?

  • Some of us updated to lollipop back then but some of us didn't like it cuz were "perfectionists", so some of us wanted to go back to KitKat. Then, some of us downgraded to KitKat by flashing KitKat rom via SP flash tool but swipe problem was the result of downgrading.. So I went back to lollipop and ask my problem was fixed..

  • i m thinking to buy this phone.what are the negetive with this phone

  • Some of us updated to lollipop back then but some of us didn't like it cuz were "perfectionists", so some of us wanted to go back to KitKat.

  • Man I'm so lucky to have a fine version of the lollipop upgrade. I'm so contented with it. Good performance, system UI and that long lasting battery.

  • I\'m thinkinf of buying the phone but I see that lately there\'s a problem with it? Is it the fact that there is a new update for lollipop that doesn\'t have swipe problems but u liked kitkat better or what is it?

  • Then good luck finding a rom that will fix the swipe issue... I've tested them all believe me!!! I even messed up my IMEI that's why now everytime I flash a rom I need to manually edit my IMEI.. So if f u still want a KitKat without the swipe issue...buy a new phone cuz it ain't possible... Sheesh

  • Then good luck finding a rom that will fix the swipe issue... I've tested them all believe me!!! I even messed up my IMEI that's why now everytime I flash a rom I need to manually edit my IMEI..

  • we dont need lollipop , we need kitkat without swipe issues

  • This phone simply rocks. The best value for the money. I've been using this for quite a while now and I'm so impressed with the battery backup. It lasted for almost 3 days with moderate to heavy usage. I'm a gamer so I'm really happy with it :)

  • CONFIRMED! TRY flashing the ROM i posted here for thos with scrolling problem and everything will go back to normal!! hahaha thank god it workeD!!!

  • better don't upgrade, I have a samsung S5 and after upgrade to lolipoop runs slower and battery life is a lot less. with kitkat was perfect.

  • for people who downgraded that are experiencing swipe problem.. try this ROM..this is a Lollipop rom i found and from what ive read from their forums they say it fixed their swipe problem.. just translate the page cuz its russian(think this is automatic?) and dont forget to register cuz you wont be able to download it.... havent tried this yet maybe tomorow... if anyone wants to try just report what the results are..

  • Could you post here again after lenovo service fixed your phone or if they don't..thanks if not, then new phone if is..but not lenovo

  • Hey, kids, why are you messing with the operating system of your pocket PCs (touchscreen camera smartphones)? //A Windows 95/98/XP/Vista/7, and Android Gingerbread user.//

  • No. I just follow the xda instractions as it is. Nothing more!!. I will sent it to lenovo service. I have already talk to them and they will sent currier to my home on their charge. I hope that they will manage to fix it!!!!! Next step ............new phone...........

  • Conclusion: I give up! I already tried everything and nothing works. I even tried putting it into a bootloop by rooting then updating OTA. Then flashed the Russian ROM.then factory reset then updatin again on OTA....still nothing so my conclusion is that to those who downgraded with a touchscreen problem. Last chance is for lenovo to roll lollipop update and see what happens.. Damn! I tried adjusting touchscreen in engineer mode but I don't know the values in settings so its hard..

  • That STrange , Working Fine for me... Did you updated the ROM after Flashing ?? Ask in Lenovo Forum Also , maybe They'll help..

  • I reset to factory settings twice!! Nothing done!!!!!!

  • LAST try. I will flash the ROM from the russian site...(turns out you have to register to download it) when i opened the folder from this ROM i noticed its completely different from the ROM i downloaded from XDA... this time ill use "firmware upgrade! if this doesnt work then ill just have to wait for lenovo to roll lollipop update! wish me luck

  • do you think if ever lenovo rolled out another lollipop udate and i update OTA, do you think it will go back to normal? its only a theory..i mean maybe lollipop system has something to do with it that even if i flashed kitkat it wont go away? or maybe i should make my phone a paperweight?haha or maybe just stick with the slow swiping...touch is ok just the swipe is bad...i can still play COC... i also read something about system/lib/libinput.so... what if i delete it and copy from another ROM?

  • after i flash the rom do i have to POWER ON my device(i mean boot up) before i wipe data/cache? or before i power on do i need to go first to recovery mode then wipe everything then reboot? i cant go to recovery mode....it goes to some recovery mode but nor mode i need or the brush mode...its not also factory mode... and also i think my rom is chinese cuz i cant download the rom from your russian link...do you think it has something to do with that?

  • Remove Glass Protector or Use Good Quality Glass Protector..

  • Did you Factory Reset After Flashing ROM ?? Factory reset is Must when You Flash a NEW ROM.. So people Who are Facing this Touch issue , do Factory Reset and Check....

  • Do you mean the link to the Russian topic, don't you? I could translate it but it doesn't allow me to download it. It gives me a strange error message about that it cant't translate(!) the page. Instead of downloading.

  • I have touch problem of back and options button since I put glass protector on it. They don't work sometimes..... Please anybody tell me the solution....

  • And how can I flash kit kat manually? Do you have an Idea?

  • That's why I wrote Darkcoder what I wrote.

  • What do you think will happen if you factory reset? It will turn back to kit kat? No my friend... If you have lollipop and used factory reset, it will stay with lollipop,, you have to flash kit kat manually...

  • Forget Factory Reset please! It brings back Lollipop 5.0.2.again.

  • Saw it with a friend yesterday and everything you asked about is perfect ...

  • if Your Phone is Rooted then BackUp Your Contacts/Messages and then Install Titanium Backup , Search for "Contacts , Contacts Storage , Messaging and Dialer " And then Select Wipe Cache/Data , Reset Your Phone And Check .... But if You'r Phone is Not Rooted then Factory Reset Might Work... Also Try Moving Contacts from Sim To Phone and Check (Maybe this'll Work)... Also Make Sure Their is No Any Other 3rd Party App(s) Conflicting with That Stock CONTACTS App.... Hope This Gonna Help...

  • It Might Lag...

  • Hi. My Lenovo a5000 is so slow in opening the contacts. Sometimes it takes as long as 3 minutes. This is so inconveniencing especially when you need to make a quick call and it can't open. What could be the problem? Most of my downloaded Apps are on SD card so the issue of overloading memory might not arise.

  • Can i play fifa 15 on it without lag?

  • Can i play fifa 15 on it?

  • IT HAS BEEN FIXED. i did factory reset . working without issues now.

  • anyone know how to downgrade to kitkat ? i have kitkat rom and sp flash tool but flash tool cannot read my mobile and i cant get to download mode for my lenovo a5000

  • Settings > Backup And Restore > Factory Reset

  • What is factory rest and where can I find it ?????

  • What is factory rest and where can I find it ?????

  • Lollipop sucks keep it on KitKat it's much much better

  • Are you using the original charger ? If yes, go to the nearest service center for handset checkinh

  • Did you try to check the setting ? Maybe mobile data is block.

  • Yep True , i Also don't Like Custom ROMS , they are Highly Unstable (Especially CyanogenMod as Compared to Google Stock ROM, Don't Know why People Like Cyanogen) and Problematic... but i 'm talking about Regarding Space not Performance... You can Free Up Some Space by Installing Custom ROM but Ofcourse Their are Risks..... ............ Regarding Lollipop , My Advice , Downgrade to KitKat (Stock) ... KitKat is Much Better Than That Lollipop (At Least For me)....

  • For me , It's Touch is Awesome , (Too much better than Grand Prime / Grand Prime 2)... Try Factory Reset , Maybe it'll Work for you...

  • ok i understand thanks for the info regarding cyanongen it is a custom rom so there are no umm... guarantee that it will perfrom better than lolipop lolipop is still a pain in the #@^ \Thanks

  • yes

  • Perfect,reasonable price.love the phone!BATTERY IS PERFECT

  • don'y bother yourself i have the same problem and i factory rested several times but no result than i had to returnet back to the after sale services to fix it and i'm still waiting

  • First Of All Dalvik Cache is CACHE , so Whatever You Do , Phone Again Generate This Cache .... So Don't Worry About This Dalvik Cache ... Here Read This To Understand What Dalvik cache is Exactly... Now Regrading Size Problem, ACtually These Stock Roms Comes With A Lot Of Pre-Installed Apps and Bloatware , which cause Their ROM size To Increased ... So i Think Flashing Some other ROM (Like CyanogenMOD etc) can Free Up Some of Your Mobile Space... Example.... Lenovo A5000 KitKat Stock ROM Size is around 1.2GB and CyanogenMod Size is Around Less than 300MB , so i Think this Really Gonna Effect On Your Internal Storage.... :) (if i'm Wrong then Correct Me... ) Another Solution is You Can Link Apps to SD Card (it's a Little Similar to Moving Apps in SD card) ... Simply Install This App , Create Two Partitions on Your SD card (one FAT32 , where all Your Songs Etc be Stored and One EXT4 Where All Your apps Data etc Gona Move/Link ) , Now Select app Which you Want To Link and Then Tap on LINK , That's All.... This App2SD is Too Much Aweosem , i installed Like More than 20 Big Size Games and Alot of apps (Asphalt 8 , Dead Trigger 2 , Contract Killer 2 , Zombie Corridor , Sniper 3d etc) , and Still i Have 1.5 GB Free Internal Storage.............. :D :D

  • As I am a hardcore gamer .... I have good opinion of this phone .....but I personally don't like this phone bcoz it does not have a good touch .... Pls can somebody tell me how to get it fixed .....the problem is that when I touch W , q or e are on the screen

  • You can set default writing disk on sd card and buy a 32 gb sd card or a 64 one but change the format to fat32 and just live your life moving apps and games to sd

  • Lenovo Company let's fix bugs for lenovo a5000 when upgraded 5.0.2

  • I cant find it as well, did you got any solution?

  • Please don't listen to this troll. If you're smart enough, that is.

  • for me .. the camera became too bad :( after the lollipop update , i dont know why !!

  • If you want to see your notif back even you lock screen. Go to setting - security- then there is a 'clear crenditial '. It will helps you.

  • Is ther anyone here that their camere are like 8mp? Like seriously I'm not satisfied with the quality of the camere. Please someone help me how to improved the quality of the camere.

  • lolipop update is good...as far as for battery life ,fuctions are increased so a slight change in battery life...but its o.k

  • MTK Logger is Already Disabled i Think ... BUt if You Still Think that Logger is Enable , Simple dial this Code , *#*#3646633#*#* And Go To Log and Debugging and Select MTK Logger and Disable it.. That's All...

  • Dont upgrade to lolipop..the original mod more better...love this phone than my zen5 phone

  • Wait. The lollipop upgrade is now availabale? Why cant my phone detects that update? I am in a plan promo of globe (it's a network provider). Is that the reason why i still dont have the update? And is it worth updating? Thank you for your response.

  • do a factory reset

  • Maybe we should wait until they announce its releasing then the upgraded UI will work effectively.

  • How do I disable the MTK logger.it might be the cause of fast battery drain I guess.pls help out.

  • Battery drain too much faster(4100mAh) I expected it to last for longer than a day. At times the phone freezes that's after the upgrade..I wonder if this upgrade was tested(ISO certified) Please fix these issues lenovo Co.

  • After my update to android lollipop, i cannot find Auto rotate for my screen, neither on the quick settings nor in the settings list (Accessibility and Display). Have you found it anywhere?

  • Before the Lollipop update it was fine

  • Please do the factory reset . you will get the old features back

  • LOL! Dude, you really need to update your phone. No offense, it is my personal comment over the product. Specifically, when I updated to Lollipop. PS: I am not a "Layer". :D

  • bought this unit a few days ago, i tried to check for updates right away. it took me hours to update it, didnt know that so many apps are included. now it runs in lollipop. it drain my battery faster other than that it work just fine...

  • Thanks man!camera now 8mp.. Still no fix for volume rocker wake..

  • you need to change the aspect ration from 16:9 to 4:3. I used 8p in back cam & 2mp in front cam. I've installed CM Security to replace Security app, and for the battery disabled MTKlogger. Standby time is ok, but screen time is lower. and the new feature "waking the phone with volume rockers" is not working.

  • For real?no single problem? Is that a perfect phone? Can we have your phone? Did you update to lollipop? Have you noticed that it has only 6mp in settings that's supposed to be 8mp? And the secondary camera only has 1mp that's supposed to be 2mp? And the volume rocker wake doesn't work all the time.. Ultra power saver mode is gone too.. And the bloatwares that take so much space are just too many and you can't even uninstall them? Thank you! Peace!

  • why dont you try to update your phone to lollipop. haha.

  • Set your preview to 4:3 and you will get the 8mp resolution

  • I hope lenovo will fix this asap. Im not satisfied with this lollipop update. Some important features are lost. And 6mp its must be 8mp. For godsake lenovo. Fix this. Pleaseeeeee

  • Dear, You are big layer i am using too this mobile, no have any single problem since i buy this like Camera, battery etc.... stop bulshit comments.

  • I received android 5.0 update now its battery timing got much better. Touch also got better.

  • How to activate the call waiting in lenovo a5000

  • I am also victim of this bul******. I think they have released it mistakenly as their webpage still showing release date as "to be announced" also the day when i download it. Now hoping to get the issues resolved urgently.

  • Hello, I upgraded to Lillipop. Used to love this phone and battery timings. God! It is draining so fast without any reason and Ultra power saver mode is gone!! Can anyone here please help me to downgrade to Kitkat. Please... :'( Please help me...

  • I love the specification of this phone..

  • I think lenovo wasn't prepared or didn't test this update. My phone get more slow and it lagged often times now, especially when I'm using the internet. Security app was not there too. It was a good app. I don't recommend updating Lollipop version to those who still use kitkat version. Hope that lenovo will fix this bugs. Kitkat version is still the best and efficient version for lenovo a5000

  • Yes I had

  • Yes, i have a problem with the sensitivity of touch here

  • Love this phone 4000mah...great performance better than asus zenfone5(batery drain fast),lenovo tab2 a7(touch problem),lenovo a3000(poor signal)..medium price,power battery,,great preformance...10 thumbs up huhu
