  • I was using this phone. When I was playing an air traffic control game suddenly the screen suddenly went black. The world's worst device brand!

  • I know that this phone is not smart but we have one golden gateway ..Root ya u r right .we can root this device with any root app .after rooting we can customize whole Android Os as we want .change the speed of Chip and flashing ROMs increase the RAM and many more .. just googlize in the web

  • lol

  • before you criticize the phone which is obviously outdated, check your spelling and grammar first, you talk worse than how the phone operates >:))

  • what mode for Allegro ROM did you use bruh

  • This phone Can support 4gb memory?

  • my mobile display is not shown but display is ok

  • I put Allegro rom and whoa . Its in sprint mode ! Moreover, i used ramexpander to put around 1 gb swap file and it's like Boult now !

  • Had for 1 year ,almost threw it in my trash can. Such a waste. 5mp camera < 2 mp in my old nokia c3.

  • Had mine for 3 Years! - No Problems at all! I put in an 8GB Memory SIM. It needs a 'Memory Clean' once in a while. A516 Running Android Jellybean

  • why don't support messenger..

  • worst phone!!!

  • why this phone always says unfortunately lenovo launcher has stopped, same as with the setting and etc?

  • Era* laggy*

  • The phone is good for its price but the lenovo stock rom is the worst I have seen. It gives it a nokia asha series feeling. Well put Allegro Rom and see the difference. I am running WhatsApp, Viber, Messenger, Kakao all at the background and still running smooth .Just type "Allegro rom a516" IN YOUTUBE and follow the instructions. It took me hardly 10 minutes. If any problem, mention it here. Although at this erase of S7 and iPhone 6, it seems funny we are still discussing about this leggy and backdated phones but for the ones who already own it, this is a life savior. Cheers !

  • Hold power button and - volume together until automatically screenshot

  • I have same problems tho . I take risk to format my phone by myself and what I get cannon turn on and one thing to do is bring your phone to shop and repair it is take 2 or 3 . I have format two time. Definitely waste my money. Bye to lenovo. I WOULD NEVER BUY LENOVO PRODUCT. DISAPPOINTED ABOUT A516.

  • i also facing the same problem, even the time of a month from the purchasing date. baaaad phone i ever used

  • I bought a new lenovo A516 from Saudi arabia, but when i started to use it, i realised that my money wasted because this is the most local phone i ever used. this phone is getting hanged while using internet even with 90% of Memory left blank. i request the Manufacturer to take back this product of you, or make it advanced.

  • just press together the power button ang the volume down

  • Du booster download

  • Anyone give the idea of moves application to SD card

  • I have been using this fon for an year... by the next month itzself I hav to do formating... the fon is too slow and sometimes hangs very badly... I had bought it for 10500. last week I had changed its mother board... btt the same problem is existing... wot shall I do.... I couldn't waste my money anyways......:-(

  • 2GB is for the system and the remaining 2GB is for storage use

  • i just want to ask about the specs. y is it the internal memory is 4gb but the actual is only 2 gb?

  • I've been using this phone for a year and the beginning I was regret cause the launcher lenovo is slowly always crash 4 times a day and sometimes my phone shutdown by herself and lag but after I find out way. 1. Root your phones 2. Download greenify apk in play store 3. Change launcher! Choose solo launcher only solo launcher is worked so far for me. That's all very easy. you would get better results if you know how to handle it. But one things if you don't know how to used ram kernel or etc don't try it you phone will off and can't used then you had to repair you phone cause you've lost format and make sure you have one apk virus cause this phone very easily get virus. Well.. I had no idea to use ram cause I don't know how to make it but these way is easily. :) Guys, don't feel regret If you know how to used this phone I bet you can play gta or hardcore games.

  • You only had to download battery saver! DU

  • This phone is actually great been using this since april 2014 until now. The problem is the back cover is easily to break and the performance of this too slow.after i install a stable custom rom like AllegroROM it makes my phone even faster,can now move apps to sd,play HD games like NBA2K14 with only 512mb ram.you just need to flash a custom rom and add some tweaks for better performance.

  • Is this fone support 3g

  • I have this phone and im regretted of buying it.. too slow and always crashed especially when i open the updated fb app and messenger.. I cant even move application to sd card unlike to my tab, it automatically transfer to save space.. i think this is bcoz its one of its nature.. and another thing is it only have a 2gb internal memory. No RAM at all bcoz everytime i intall any app it uses the internal memory. Only one sim has 3g.

  • this phone has no option for MOVE TO SD CARD even if you buy a million pieces of it's kind

  • Why not maintain your RAM with a big space. You have your memory card. Move all the apps there then maintain your RAM clean with no apps. Make your phone better. There is no phone that is working slow unless the user doesn't know how to make the phone good in hand. :)

  • Why not move apps and vedeo to sd card 16gb, i use phone lenovoa516.

  • It cannot move apps to SD CARD &#128544;&#128556;&#128520;

  • My lenovo now a516 is now slow

  • how to change the storage option? coz i have tried everything i know in transferring apps to SD card but i can't find that option in this phone

  • this phone is actually great, the only thing that makes the phone not that UI friendly is it's incapability to update it's software in package, the Software Update of the phone updates 1 by 1 but totally, the phone runs smooth and very nice :) you don't even need to add a launcher coz it has a built-in Lenovo Launcher

  • 1st u go setting ,then about phone ,then software updare

  • my husband is working at Saudi Arabia and he bought me this phone,,,honestly at first i thought it was nice but as days gone it was getting slower and hang up.. i was so disappointed.. aside from wasting money, it can't even give me a nice day since i have it in my hand..

  • How can I update my phone?

  • How can I update my phone?

  • It cannot move apps in sd card

  • Hello everyone :) I'm one of the users of this phone and I'm disappointed with the performance. :'(

  • I have this phone in months but my charger port broke and I go to nearest lenovo warranty service but they don't want to fix it because it has a crack in charger port .I don't know why they don't want to fix it I thought this phone has a parts replacement I'm from Manila,Phillipines because of that I use universal charger is universal charger is safe? Anyway this phone is slow only 512 ram u can buy other phone faster than this phone with the same price.

  • This is a good phone but it has only 512mb as ram memory it is not enough to use this phone.i am using this phone.It is better to buy another phone.My phone hangs a lot and not even able to continue to use it bcz it hangs frequently.

  • Well dude I'll be honest here , don't buy any android cell with 512 mb ram ... Lenovo is a good company and lenovo a516 is a good phone but it start to lag sometime until u restart your phone ... So I'll suggest u to buy cell phone with with 1GB of ram or more ...

  • hi everybody I have bought this phone.can anyone tell me the phone is amazing good or not. I think this phone is not good. please what's your opinion about this phone.

  • And yes one more thing ! Download and Install "clean master" and "cm security" from play store ... They will keep your devices safe from viruses , malwares and other junks that is keeping your device slow ... And they will also boost your RAM ... That's all folks :) Enjoy with what you have cuz there are unlimited people in the world who can't even buy a cheap cell phone ...

  • This device gets slow if u use it daily and never power off ... It will force close your applications , will stuck and freeze , it will hang a lot ... So please do power off your lenovo a516 daily and or should I say restart your phone once in a day and you will get better results and your phone will stay healthy and fresh :) Thanks !

  • Well Ron I think I know what u mean ... When u press and hold the left button(I don't know the exact word) to clear/close recent apps , Don't close the "play music" app by sliding it to left or right side ... I hope u will understand ! :)

  • hi there, as per the opinions posted here i downloaded allegrorom after a thorough search. i downloaded allegrorom and did all the steps on the scatter downloading but the download didnt start. according to the videos and all the download should have started after scattering the file and clicking the download button. but it stands nil at 0%. no download takes place. experts please reply. thanks in advance

  • hi I need your help ASAP. pls tell me how you flashed allegrorom? can you get me a link? I searched the web all day long but couldn't find it. I am really sick of this phone and I am not in a situation to buy any other. so pls tell me how you was successful on making this mobile smooth.

  • Yeah. One day I will smash it using my service firearm . It always force close after I'm using the app in 17 sec. Wasting money & time. It work the luncher very slowly.

  • I've experience this kind of phone. When i play games like zombie tsunami it always hang and will go back to home page. and sometimes i can't see the pictures from my mem/card in gallery, i need to restart my phone for how many times. Battery isn't that good too.. and if you're going to apply themes you downloaded this phone will not work properly it will become slow.

  • Hi. Can someone help me here? In my phone le ovo A516,, I can't see the pictures on my gallery from my memory card....

  • at first my phone always slow and laggy but when i flash to custom rom name AllegroRom it works smooth and fast i can play heavy games like RR3 GTA SA and NBA 2k13 with just a 512mb ram. you just need to root then flash a custom rom. i recommend AllegroRom the best and stable rom for this device i hope that there will be an official kitkat update for lenovo a516.

  • it is confusing, it is slow sometime everything will just disappear until u remove the battery and fix back before it will be ok

  • If i were you,never spend your money with this phone. You will suffer a lot. At first, everything was ok but as time past by.. it is losing its speed. it has only 512mb ram where only 37mb is only left when you are using an only one app. It is always lagging and going to app menu takes up to 15 seconds and opening an app takes 10 seconds,going back to home menu takes 10 seconds again (so in total,35 seconds of interrupted operations was wasted.) and takes many presses in the capacitive displays.its keyboard is a whore.and always lagging resulting to accidentally spelled words like the message is supposed to be "text" but it will be "53xT". i wish i informed you a lot.

  • Download the framaroot apk and click roomir and install supersu and its done'!!!

  • What Root Did You Use ? , I Also Tried Rooting This Phone But It Remains The Same , Always Lagging ...

  • lg l70 is cheaper and way more better

  • it cant move the application from Internal Memory to SD Card

  • Buying this phone is one of my biggest regrets ever. It's not "Lenovo" but "the 512 MB RAM". This is barebones enough to run most apps, but in a sluggish manner. Other aspects of the phone are fine enough for the price. But, as with anything that we buy, performance will decide the user experience... and the A516 often makes me feel aggravated. I've tried to solve the poor performance by shutting down most of the apps running in the background like Facebook and Twitter. But it's still sluggish. Waze would suddenly go quiet (it often crashes). Do yourselves a big favour by not buying anything with less than 1 GB RAM. It's too late for me and I'll just have to write this off as "money wasted".

  • You can change it, go to setting

  • worst phone ever. If you install 3-4 apps then its hang too much.

  • Dear Colleague Lenovo A516 users, I tried to install a system update recently called "A516_LCM_ROW_S109_140228_TO_A516_LCM_ROW_S­110_140319" The update would not install properly and the error looks like this: No SD-card Installation aborted Try to update /sdcard/update.zip Try to update /sdcard2/update.zip Of cause I installed (the cheapest..) SD-card and to my disappointment the error changed to: Signature verification failed Installation aborted Try to update /sdcard/update.zip Try to update /sdcard2/update.zip I just found that a solution is to connect the phone to a computer and go to the location USB storage/googleota and find the file "update.zip". Move that to the same location on the SD-card, and re-perform the update process. The update seems to work then, albeit I still see an error. On checking for updates the phone now seems to go to the next update where probably the same trick needs to be applied. Success

(Laggy,slow, suddenly force close app. overall poor performance) but once i flashed it with a custom rom (allegro) it became much better phone. Also i installed some apps that can help boost the ram of this phone. (Ram expander, ram manger pro, start up mnger etc) now i can play some good games like leo's fortune, modern combat 5 & 4, dead trigger 1&2, nfs, nba2k14 (runs smoothly) hope lenovo make some adjustment (kitkat upgrade).

  • Im only asking if lenovoA516 is posible using in the phillipines i bought my mobile here in jeddah sausi arabia.pls reply to my comment tnxs.

  • is my new phone and i cant use this one.it shows no network. why ?

  • Why I can't Install games from appstore?

  • Please don't root your phone as you will be facing some consequences of it. Root is a power user and should only used by the developers/programmers.

  • Hi aice, Must not let your internal(ROM) phone memory full. Leave atleast 80-85% free space considering the CPU usage of the phone. It's just like a normal PC. Also, same with the internal memory of it (RAM).

  • Nice phone been using it for 6 month,nice battery life even if you use it to call the whoke day,problem is it already lags once you have 1500 messages and 1000 contact, memorynis always at 80%, good phone though.

  • Sorry lenovo owner but worst phone I've ever had.. front cam upside down, no flash, i can't even transfer applications to sd card. Once internal memory full you cant transfer other apps to sd card.. I am using it for 3 months & I plan to change it so sooonnn..

  • Maybe the wifi network that you're trying to connect to has MAC Address filtering.

  • Sorry if i may missed the info along the way. Is this phone HAS an option to make native 3g video call? (without using app eg. skype, viber, so onn). Tq.

  • Just good

  • RAM capacity YES...currently user need more faster internet. The most important..Processor mediaTek not powerful enough. For high end user need pure performance.That means Qualcomm Snapdragon + Adreno gpu or for hardcore user for sure need something like NVidia Tegra.. u can find lot of diff. if u test or use more devices, u can found huge gap about performance.u can compare this device with Xiaomi mid range device exp:Xioami mi2a (dual cores processor S600) u can got what i means.

  • I don't get it ..?? Why people are complaining about this phone...As this smart phone is a budgetary phone with good features comparing to other budget smart phone brand like Samsung,Sony....! Yeah some user finds its ram unsatisfactory but u have to deal with it... I am also a lenovo a516 user I love this phone as it responsive and big screen..so people its not a high end phone its a budget phone ..deal with it.!

  • I bought this phone in Philippines can I also use this phone abroad? Specific place in koror,palau.

  • Is the dual core good and the WiFi if I use this in my roaming number in palau coz I work there. Thanks

  • Does anyone knows how to add Arabic to Allegro custom rom?

  • If ur having the problem..then simply root it..! As when rooting the warranty of its is removed..!

  • how is it?.............

  • how to change wallpaper without cropping the image?

  • Very simple just go to play store on your phone and click the top free and download some app.

  • On the bright side, it is very responsive, and for its price (5500pesos) I think it looks big and very nice, too. It actually looks far from its price, you wont even know that its cheap when you look at it.

  • By the way, when did you buy the phone? I only bought it the other day and just found out the unfortunate things about the phone: Poor camera, no flash, no auto-focus, apps cannot be transferred to the SD card, IP address isn't permanent and changes EVERYTIME. Well I still have a lot of things to discover about this phone, I think. And I think I'm starting to not like the phone already.

  • I asked the people at the store where I bought it and they told me that it was already the app's fault if the main camera was normal so I tried to install other apps but it was still upside down like in instagram. So I think that in this phone, all of the apps that includes using the camera would have it viewed upside down. So that's the phone's problem, right? It would have been the instagram's problem if it was the only app that with this case but no, all the other apps also had the case of having an upside down camera.

  • yeah! I've been experienced of that and its to hard to take a selpie and I'm using the Main Camera which is too hard and the FF Camera will never Up-Side-Down if you use the Ordinary Camera app or for Chat

  • Hey There! How I can set the Download Location

  • Did anyone of you guys already experienced having the front camera of instagram upside down?

  • How to start log tools again? Thanks

  • With the right knowledge in optimizing your phone, you can increase the potential of it. Since December 2013 I'm using this phone, and it takes 15-20 hours before the battery goes down with heavy usage and a whole day plus hours on standby mode. Using stock rom really drains battery because of bloatwares running. Try to root it, change its rom, and its good to go. (But remember warranty will be void by doing those two)

  • Pls help me. I Can't download any apps on my new lenovo A516. What will i do????

Only those images,videos and music/sound can be moved, you can also set the saved photos and videos to be saved in your SD card. Also, keep in mind that sometimes files got corrupted in SD card so what if you successfully move your apps there right.

  • The camera is actually pretty good even without a flash. Just dont expect iphone 5 picture quality from devices in this price range. I used framaroot to root my phone.

  • Yup. Based on experience, the phone lasts longer with wifi on and sim card data connection off.

  • Go to settings, all apps, tap the application you want to disable/uninstall and you'll see the option to do so there.

  • LOL.. You just dont know how to use it properly

  • because the manufacturer decide to NOT put a flash on the camera for this phone

  • why is there no flash on cam? thanks

  • It lasts 6 hours on heavy use. (Thats nonstop screen on time while browsing on 3G)

  • That means that you can only receive GSM/Edge signal. If you lose your signal after choosing WCDMA only, that means there is no high speed data connection available in your area. Thats also the reason why the phone has the option to automatically select network types. The problem isnt your phone,its the network coverage.

  • how to remove the bloat to make the phone better

  • The ideal amount of RAM is 1 GB. And this phone is still using 512 MB standard.. Better go for samsung S6130 that come with 768 MB of RAM, and cheaper . .

  • Please dont say negative things about a device if you dont know how to use it properly. The only drawbacks about this phone is the 512mb ram and bloatware. Get rid of the bloat and youve got something that works better than Samsung devices in its price range.

  • l have been using this device for 3 week now, this is not best phone, i ve experienced severall lag, minimal update, ...

Try to watch on youtube on how to install and configure ram expander. Although your ram cleaner high to 80% and above but your fon wont hank and restart automatically....

  • I want to buy this Lenovo A516, but it just has 512 gb ram. Is it making a big problem with the 512 gb ram if used by playing game and another social media?

  • Root your phone and then download FolderMount Premium in the internet. It will bind, for example, the data folder of a game from the internal to the external sd card leaving lots of free space for the internal storage.

  • I have bought it yesterday ... very nice ... and I'm excited to have it after ...

  • Also, where can I see that 2gb memory for apps? Please Bear with me. I don't know the answer.

  • I don't understand. They say its capacity is 4gb. 2 for usb storage and 2 for apps installation. But everytime I install an app, USB storage is being used up. Can somebody explain it. Thank you.

  • Because this phone does not support move to SD on apps. I root it by framaroot and used Link2sd app. now all apps are installed on the partitioned sd. google it and try. goodluck

  • Or you can uninstall facebook and just use the browser. Problem fixed!

  • I did some digging around and confirmed what ive always suspected: the Facebook app is the biggest memory hog you can have on this phone (and probably causes the sudden exits). While using the app the unit is left with single digit ram - around 8 to 9mb. And the crazy part is even after exiting thw Facebook app, it still runs in the background using up to 40+mb of RAM. You need to force close it everytime to claim back memory.

  • how can I move apps to SD? I tried lots of apps that moves apps to SD but it wouldn't work. I read here that android jelly bean does not allow such, is it true?

  • If you want to move apps from internal storage to memory card use pc softwares such as mobogenie or download astro,root explorer,es etc.. from google play. and you can also free some space on ram with astro file manager or ram cleaner.I have this phone great in the price range good performance design features camera is pretty good.Love this phonE but this phone realy need more improvements.

  • This is definitely the best in its price range. Better than some more expensive phones from Samsung, LG and Sony. People experiencing sudden exits should uninstall preinstalled bloat or disable (be careful with system) apps they dont need. Then install App Cache Cleaner and Fast Reboot Pro. If you have root, you can use Greenify. Remember, devices are only as good as the people who use them. A phone can have beast specs but if the user doesnt make an effort to use it properly then all the hardware will go to waste.

  • i'm also experiencing that sudden exiting. can somebody tell me how tro fix this. i just bought last week. im upset. thanks.

  • hi guys, i bought this phone yesterday and im checking the radio its not working? im not sure if i have reception or not for the radio but i have phone signal? do u think theres a problem?

  • i just bought one a few days back.. for my opinion, at this price its the best one presently available. I am satisfied with its performance.

  • I have this phone and I love it. I got this from my local provider, Globe Telecom. Pros: Dual core processor, less lags, quite huge internal memory for apps, long battery life Cons: very bad camera (that's the reason why I didn't sell my Xperia Ray and I still used it as my backup phone), it records video only at VGA resolution, messy bloatwares (but some apps can be remove like the preinstalled Gameloft games). Anyways, it's still a good budget-friendly phone. I prefer white color instead of black.

  • as i know~apps is store in the internal memory and got no way to transfer to sd card~

  • This is not an issue with Lenovo, its because of the jellybean version of your android.

  • JellyBean version of android does not have the option for moving or saving applications to the SD Card. It will take up the internal memory. Even if you download an application that can move files/applications from the Google Play market to move your applications it will not work. Only music, video, photos and document files can be save/move/copy to the SD card. Hope this helps!

  • For all android smartphones in Jellybean version it does not have the option to move or save application to the SD Card anymore unlike the earlier version of androids. All app will take up your internal memory. only photos, video, music or document files can be save on your SD Card.

  • Why I can't transfer the app to the SD card????

  • uhm do you guys know how to install an app directly to sd? or how to move an app from internal storage to sd? help would be much appreciated! thanks! :)

  • lenovo A516.. how to change the qwerty keypad to abc keypad...tnx.

  • plz any one tell me about the following things ??? 1. can i play high graphic games like gta 4, asphalt 8 . 2. audio quality in ear phone. 3. battery back up last for how many days in medium use.

  • Hi Guys, I just bought this phone a few days ago.. for the price as well as design aspects i think its a steal! Generous performance apart from the copying apps to secondary storage on microSD, also i noticed that you cant create folder in a specific location when you plug it in (i used mobogenie) as installing the RAW Linux on my Win7 pc is too time consuming.. Ultimately, i was dissapointed that i cant get the mini bluetooth keyboard to properly work with Lenovo A516.. is this a known compatibility issue with Lenovo or Android 4.2 Jellybean? Please advise.

  • too small internal memory not just this model almostly all lenovo phone is just 4gb internal & ram 512mb or 1gb only . even lenovo tab a3000 also got serious weakness point like all download file , camera photo , bluetooth need to use internal memory even we already setting it to sd card .... another big problem at tab a3000 is ( how to clear the navigation & maps history record ? ? ? )

  • The reason why you can't move apps to sd card is that just like windowsphone 8, android jellybean does not let apps to be moved to sd card!!

  • I have this phone right now, The performance for this phone is superb.. less lagg and waiting when you open any app example: facebook,whatsapp,twitter. The camera and the screen is actually pretty good for the price range. This phone only has 512mb of ram but it still can beat other mid range phone easily. The only i don't like this phone is you can't move any app to sd card, All app that you install will saved into internal memory. Hope Lenovo team fix it in the next update :)

  • good: battery can use up to 17 hour on wifi or data,smooth and no lag..internal 2gb,apps storage 2 gb,nice design,fast web browser,good quality video bad:no auto focus just fixed focus camera,no flash,cant move app to sd card, good budget phone..white colour will be nice and look premium like galaxy S3..

  • Rooted or not ? Most apps require rooted the handset first, isn't it ?

  • I want to buy that set.What is your opinion?How is the set work.please someone tell

  • I cannot transfer the apps to sd card. I tried many android apps but not totally compatible with this phone.everything just fine..
