  • How to call???

  • yeah i felt it too. I think this pad can't use for call. I search whole of the app and there is no app for calling. Just message, internet

  • What version are you on? It only goes up to 4.4.2 Kit Kat... go to Settings >> About tablet >> System upgrade.

  • Hi .i bought it ... how update the android????? I cheked but it dosent.help me plz

  • How do i change the language from chineese to english

  • Buying Lenovo IdeaPad s5000 was the biggest mistake, It has many problems with no solutions from Lenovo Company. It's keyboard fails to display characters on the screen during typing. It's screen turns gray color and freezes during video games and watching videos. I have to constantly turn the tablet off and on multiple times during the day. I have looked for solution at Lenovo support website but found no solution for problems. Many people have similar problems but after many years Lenovo has not responded to anyone. Lenovo is a dishonest company please do not buy it's products so you send a message to this lossy company about its dishonesy and disrespect of its customers that have invested money in purchasing IMG Lenovo products.

  • Please use SHAREit app from other Lenovo (exp.Lenovo A3300) and then send to your device (Lenovo s5000). Try it.

  • hie I bought Lenovo s5000_H n its mo supporting voice call plz help me

  • Not have card slot, just only sim card slot

  • i have lenovo tablet s5000h. this have problem, the problem is when i switch on the tablet then it is given the message that " unfortuntely, phone service has stopped." permanently. If any guy have any solution regarding this problem please reply me. i will be thankful to you.

  • I have the same problem with my lenovo S5000H.

  • Can anyone confirm if this tab has miracast support?

  • I bought a Lenovo tablet model S5000-F this tablet has problem with playing videos. The videos freeze and the screen goes white color. To remedy this, I have to reboot every time to unfreeze the tablet to get it working. And lately its been getting worst, the video playback freeze every time. I went to Lenovo tech support website but found no solution. Many other people are facing this problem but the Lenovo Corporation does not seem to care. It appears that its a company that collects cash from unsuspecting customers and then ignores the defects with their products. I recommend to people not to purchase Lenovo products in every category. You will save yourself lots of headaches and frustrations. There must be a better company out in the world that care about their customers unlike Lenovo.

  • I flashed the chinese ROM and now I got call feature! Need to be rooted though. Overall, very good tablet and I prefer to use this instead of my Samsung GS4. Battery lasts even 3G data is on.

  • Why I can't install what's all The Google market says that app not support

  • My Lenovo s50000 no memory card slot, I bought it in jeddah

I tried to seek the help of Chinese speakers but no luck...The salesman could not do anything I wonder if I go to italy, would the application show in Italian laguage!

  • Can anyone tell me how to run voice call?

  • The machine is great. Quite efficient, fast and is a 4.2.2 The sim slot is clearly visible unless you bought a wifi type.

  • android is not 4.2 is4.2.2

  • I already buy this item 2 days ago, im just wondering where is the slot for the micro sd, i buy a 3g/wifi model

  • It is awsom..... But it doesn't support video call nd internal memory is nearly 13gb not 16gb but anyway it is gr8 n luvly tab

  • I got this unit last week and I have to say I am impressed by it. The main thing that attracted me to this model is the lightness and thinness of the unit. I love the chrome finish at the top and bottom edge and the matte finish at the back, it makes it look elegant. The OS performs as expected to a tablet of this price range. The quad core processor makes launching of apps fast and swiping on the screen snappy. Battery life is okay, even on 3G. I just need to adjust my tactile instincts to the location of the sleep/power button which is below the volume rocker to the right side. There are no physical buttons for the home, back and menu, which are all on-screen. All in all I give this a score of 9 out of 10 (minus 1 because of the lack of phone functionality).

  • reset the unit or return it to the store for replacement.

  • yep. i got mine today and there's no SD card slot. perhaps you need to update your specs for this model.
