Lenovo S820 - User Reviews

  • I really miss my S820. The best camera on its era. Very sharp very nice. Mine was fallen down to the highway.

  • i'm not sure how some of you are complaining, my phone is running for 5 years by now, it got slow as hell but apart from that it still works like a peach.

  • Agreed. It's camera was just awesome. which ever Mobile I am buying now, I compare camera quality with this mobile camera. And you will be surprised no one is able to match it's quality. Same happened with my mobile, got crack, replaced with Chinese display 2-3 times.chinese display are useless.

  • I bought this phone when it was launched. its camera was just wow. comparing to current 13mp camera its camera was just great. battery backup was good. display and design also good. and on the top UI was flawless and well arranged ad with some very useful apps. problem came when its screen got cracked one day and all replacements were Chinese, non of them stay for 1-2 months.

  • No OTG

  • how about otg support

  • Cons: Below average GPS, cannot use Google Play, low internal storage, cannot play Pokemon Go. Pros: Good camera.

  • Pls can I change my s820 touch pad...it fell 0ff my hand nd since den it stoped touching...

  • Press the menu botton on the bottom.

  • My S820 was updated to S820_ROW_S223_150119 (KitKat). Going to Settings > Display, there is a 'Wireless Display'. Tapping Wireless Display just show 'To see devices, turn wireless display on' message, but there is no option to set it. Is the problem on my device, or S820 did not actually support Wireless Display, or the feature is actually there but it's being locked by Lenovo?

  • Me own this phone three years pass by. I say to you memory with phone too little and quicky crash many times. No buy this phone you buy new release phone now.

  • my phone is last only for 15 months .2 times motherboard issues arises in the warrenty period now the same happens again now my phone is dead

  • The same is with me for last 1year. Before 5 months the google play store was missing.. But I managed with mobo market. After some months I got the message that it is in meta mode. I visited the tecnician and he repaired it. Last day there was a new message to reset and the reset button does nothing.. I was really happy with this phone for the first few months till I missed play store... Now my Lenovo s820 is a brick

  • Nice phone for 2013. Pretty screen. Good enough for everyday use. I was happy to use it. Died in 2016 - gps+ screen color artefacts.

  • your phone is not working and also with i n the data connection😣😣

  • bad performance, not a good working pone but it is ruf & tuf mob

  • you must flash your phone

  • i updated my s820 into 4.4.2 and rooted, then installed google play store but it doesn't work could some body help me with how can i use google service over this phone thanks

  • Im still using 4.2 Jelly Bean.

  • What is your current android version. ?

  • What is your current version of android?

  • Hi.. I just want to ask if it is ok to upgrade my lenovo S820 android KitKat to lollipop?, how? Thank you . 😊

  • Ive been using this phone for 2 years, & here are some opinions I have about it. * 12mp rear camera loses its details in low light, but very good performance in capturing panoramas or closeups. 2mp front is mediocre. * I browse a lot using Chrome & Youtube, & I notice my phone starts to heat up after about 2 hours. That was a year ago. Now, even when Im only listening to my music, the phone heats up pretty easily. * The battery doesnt last that long, I had to charge it once a day. But a 2000mah battery for this price range is quite okay. * Has minimal lags, but it only happens when I open multiple tabs (about 10-12 tabs) on Chrome. Those were my experiences in these 2 years. Im sure other people have different opinions. Overall, of course it doesnt perform flawlessly, but for its price, I think its really worth buying. Have a good day! :)

  • I have been three years with this phone and nothing is problem with this phone on my observations..i think this is the best choice and then best phone : ) # i love my lenovo

  • i have upgraded the phone to kitkat and it's amazing :P

  • 4gb

  • Nahh dude sorry this phone, the manufacturers hasn't yet decide to release 4.4.3 or 4.4.4 but in my case, I have a lenovo s820 row latest firmware s820_s223_150119 installed the rom is fast, smooth no lags at all and battery life has improved a lots !! Yo the good news is that you can install CUSTOM ROMS and I did and my phone became 4.4.4 :) :) I've searched in needrom.com and has installed the pure xperia z3 kitkat 4.4.4 . works like a charm better than the official update s820_s223_150119 :P Thanks

  • You must upgrade the phone to the latest firmware, and see if the problem persisting ^^ :)

  • First what model do you have ? A 4gb or 8gb :) Latest firmware S820_S223_150119 kitkat 4.4.2 Baseband Number Modem S820_V105 Note: The OTA upgrade is only available for 4gb devices only, 8gb hasn't yet release, so pls be patient :)

  • this is because you flashed international to a china firmware; and thus it don't have gapps included. So for the vibe 2.0 that you mentioned, it can be fixed only when you root and install the gapps. Disadvantage of this ROM: Not have google applications include on the ROM, must be installed your self It only have 2 languages, English and China language Contains many china applications that does not working outside china country. Only can be install from china firmware only, using sd card method. Here follow this link below if you want to re-install the ROM with gapps included

  • Hey do you get problem of signal. I mean the 3G not working for me, it only works in 2G and whenever I changes to 3G only it doesn't get any signals ... I've the latest rom 4.4.2 S820_S223_150119 & baseband version S820ROW.V105

  • I bought this mobile on April 2014. Mobile is not working now, hangs very often during these 2 years. Not at all satisfied with the phone.

  • I have this phone for two years and I'm really satisfied.... Phone is great....I using custom room miui v7 and hi is so smoth...hi has fantastic display,verry good camera and solid gpu...I played all new high end graphic games and he running smoth....but you must have rooted phone and all yours problem are done....S820 is great choice...;)

  • to fix invalid imei this is how i fixed my lenov0 s820 1. download uncle app 2. Select Engineering Mode, select Engineer Mode (MTK), look at the top and select Connectivity and select CDS Information, select Radio Information Several Method to Change Imei for MTK Devices 3. You will see Phone 1 and Phone2, Click on it if you wanna change or re-write your device IMEI. For Phone 1 insert “AT +EGMR=1,7,"IMEI” For Phone 2 insert “AT +EGMR=1,10,"IMEI” (Note: Your imei's maybe written in your battery. That will be the 15 digit code that you will enter with the above code.) 4. Send the command. If it says msent. then it is successful. 5. Just normal reboot your phone.. then check if it works :)

  • Very Bad Phone; I owned a 4gb model and I've used it for 1 year. Really lags a lot, has problem with 3G connectivity :( I've tried many baseband versions i.e flashing many [[[ modem.img ]]] v15. v16. v20. v23. v50. v51. v52) but none seems to work only 2G(GSM) works..... :/ poor network !! Besides this only its camera 12MP works like a charm. Also it low storage i.e internal storage is insufficient :( I've rooted the phone tried link to SD apk; unfortunately doesn't work !!! I've flashed many other ROMS like Pure Xperia Z2. always loses network when switching to WDCMA ONLY ... and draining battery in Kitkat 4.4.2 also is a big problem; thus I had downgrade to android 4.2.2 jelly bean using SP Flash Tool. Here's the guide guys I really recommend this site, if you want to modify or flash , root ur smartphone go to And for flashing other ROM to ur Lenovo S820 4GB/8GB I recommend

  • nope

  • good thing i'm not a gamer. can any body tell if the key at the bottom lite up? thanks

  • The question is simple "How to fix "Invalid IMEI " after Factory reset?" After factory reset my phone starts showing "Invalid IMEI" on both SIM slots and I can't call or to being called.

  • i dont recomand any lenovo phone i have one like this i have 5 months and it has too many problems its not a good phone

  • kitkat

  • using this phone for almost 2yrs, it works well.

  • After one year of using this phone, it died completely. Tried to do a factory reset, but the factory mode is written in chinese. During that year the phone had some issues: the camera didn't work at some of the times when I wanted to use it (had to reboot it); when I forgot to turn my Wi-Fi off, I had to reboot the phone, so that the Wi-Fi could work again, and other smaller issues. I tried to upgrade it to Android 4.4.2, but it showed me the message "Settings has stopped" (I cheked, it is possible to upgrade to 4.4.2 from 4.2 Jellybean). I liked the phone, because it worked well enough for me, it looks good, so sad that I have to look for another one.

  • Excuse me...but...i think maybe there is some misunderstanding here...actually...for 4gb version...your internal is already in 4gb...but...they repartition it to 2gb for system and user apps and another 2gb for us to use in the file manager...while for the 8gb version...they already repartition it into 4gb for system and user apps and another 4gb for us to use in the file manager...

  • Me phone no problems like your phone. Might be you buy a fake s820.

  • We have the same problem.

  • Hi Javeed, Below is how you could upgrade to Kitkat: Settings > All settings > About phone > System update Advise you to do it in night after charging the phone fully. The size of the upgrade is 715 MB and hence it will need time to complete. Ensure that you are backing up all your important data like your contacts, files, messages, etc. Regards Naidu

  • otg enable?

  • Hello Guys, I have this phone for 4 months, and it is quite Ok. The only thing bothering me is the slow connection when I swich on gps. Sometimes it takes 5-10 minutes to find the signal. Do you have any best-practice for that? br, p.

  • Worst phone ever, internal screen cracked for which both internal & external thing had to be changed with total expenses of 8000. After few months, it stopped charging with a problem in the charging slot. 11 months & so many problems... finally discarding this stupid phone...very dissapointed

  • Be ware of upgrade it makes a lot of problems keep on jelly bean . at the end its show me ' unfortunately , the process android .process acore has stoped ' i check with shopes to repair it but i didnt not get any positive response.

  • Just change default write to memory card in storage. Then you can install what all u want on memory card. The kitkat upgrade is worst in UI probably its vibe 1.0 the next version looks better. Except for few + things its not that worth sticking to Jelly Bean is much better if not updated the phone.

  • Be ware of upgrade it makes a lot of problems keep on jelly bean

  • I was very disappointed about Lenovo S820 smartphone. The battery doesnt lasts long. The usb charging outlet of the phone doesnt even work at all after 1 year of using it. I bought multiple usb chargers to give it a shot and will see if its going to work but nothing seems to happen. Lesson learn, better invest to a well known brand for smartphones.

  • Great post, but what about rewriting it in a decent English, instead than in Harlem slang? I'm a foreigner, my native language is Italian, but I have been living in USA for 5 years and I enjoy a fair knowledge of Shakespeare language: I read the New York Times almost every day, I watch CNN, etc.. But when I read written material written as yours, I can just understand what's written tehere in a very fuzzy way,...! Therefore, please, if you can rewrite your post in a decent English, I will appreciate that, I'll read it and I'll understand what you meant to say. Thanks: Aldo

  • I think this phone is worth as its price. I have use this phone for 2 month and never face any technical issues. If u guys go for long battery life or u guys are gamers, don't buy this phone as its lacks of those specs. Overall experiences, it's good for its price.

  • How is the camera??? Is it better than redmi note???

  • how can i remove the G on the right side?

  • This phone is amazing,i have it for 2 months.I don't have any problems,it works very good. :)

  • Other than using framaroot to root your s820,using the kingroot v.3.3.1. .really effective. Chinese's app

  • yes, it can

  • very low internal memory, can't download much apps, for me it's not a very good smartphone

  • thats wht i said...its value for money. U r lucky till the phone does not give u any technical issues. However if asked my opinion...dont go for Lenovo phones....such a big brand but still maintain the ROM details in chinese on their website. I wil not recommend this brand...Not in my lifetime.

  • hi im interested to buy this lenovo and i want your opinion if you can po this phone becouse you have this phone can you help me ?

  • The features of the phone are very encouraging and looks like value for money. But when there are technical issues with the phone then you would understand what it means to be a lenovo phone user. I bought S820, 8 months back, and was initally very happy with my choice. Later after the kitkat upgrade, the problem started. The display would turn off and the screen continued to flicker. I call Lenovo support and that man was shouting at me. He said "Why in the first place you upgraded the phone". I really did not understand him. The upgrade was officially launched as OTA. It was released by Lenovo and now this service engineer is shouting at me. It was difficult for me to understand my mistake till I realised that my mistake was i bought this phone and trusted a brand like Lenovo. I WOULD SUGGEST YOU NOT TO BUY LENOVO BRAND. ITS SUPPORT IS PATHETIC. FOREWARNED IS FOREARMED - Rest is your decision.

  • Hiii, I want to know how is kitkat row on Lenovo s820. As per reviews battery problem is resolved... Is it so? What are other benefits and drawbacks...please someone explain....

  • Hi. My cellular phone hanged when I turned it on earlier so I removed the battery. Then, after a couple of minutes I put it again in my phone but still no effect. Nothing changed. What to do now? I badly need my phone right now.

  • In my lenovo S820 mobile, hotspot wifi is not working. If I want to connect my data network to laptop, it is showing limited connectivity. And if I try to connect hotspot wifi from Laptop to my mobile, it is getting connected. Any solution for this??

  • I have Lenovo S820. My phone has been upgrading for almost 2 hours and even util now...how to stop?

  • Hye!,does this phone model's audio jack spoils fast?

  • It has a timer on only on rear cam just go to settings. for the front cam timer I used Camer360. For better shots, I used HD camera ultra.

  • The built-in RAM and storage cannot be changed. If you want more storage, you have to find a model with more memory or storage. Can cannot upgrade your memory by upgrading the OS version (from 4gb to 8gb for example). For built-in storage (4gb in this case), some space is always used by the OS and applications, so you only have 2gb left over.

  • Hi i would like to ask if there's a self timer for lenovo s820 camera? Or i have to download an app

  • Hi. I can't connect to my camera. Can you tell me why and How to manage it. Thank you. :D

  • Hi. I can't connect to my camera. Can you tell me why and How to manage it. Thank you. :D

  • Hi, Can you tell me if you repaired your screen in Mumbai. Is it working fine after couple of months? Will appreciate your feedback. Many chines sites are offering the screen from $9 to $30 is it safe to deal with them? Thanks.

  • Dont think so. Seeing so many complaints about the glass screen. This com should be sued for using substandard glass pane. Can someone help?

  • Hey folks, I can't view images using my lenovo s820 while I search Google. Images just won't open.. Please help me with this problem. Regards Paru

  • Aijaz, It is October now, is your screen working fine after buying rom Aliexpress? Plz let me know, Lenovo Serv centre charging half the cost of phone to replace screen!! Will appreciate ur response.

  • Does it work fine after the repair?

  • What happened to the screen? could you replace without replace the glass? If yes where and what cost?

  • Battery is fake. Does not last as said by its display. To explain to those who have not seen the phone. The ph shows amt of hours of charging left with Wifi or Data connection etc. However it does not last as indcated.

  • The glass is very weak.Within 6 months of use the phone fell from a height from the knee and the display side glass broke, fortunetly the display is fine but service cannot replace glass alone. For both cost is Rs8000/- :( In 2 months of use, Rear Camera glass broke as it could not resist heat and cold. Took it inside an AC room after clicking in hot sun and there was a crack in the viewer window glass. Is there no quality control for such high end phones?

  • Very nice phone, only memory is short. upgradable to 4.4 kitkat without problem, Memory problem can be solved with Link2SD, I run now unlimited apps on the 32 GB SD card (extra partion for linking needed). Cost a lot of searching but I pretty happy with this phone. Battery run really one day with a bit care and the options kitkat delivers. A bigger Battery would be nice though. So if memomory problem solved you have a really good phone for very less money. The phone needs to be rootet voor link2SD that is a bit complicated but it works.

  • I have been using this phone for about one year, it's sucks!the front camera is bad, they say have 4gb of internal storage, but sadly there is only 2gb , I can't install much app into my phone, battery run down like super fast, I have to charge my phone 2times per day, and now my whatapps and facebook apps it close by itself due to No more internal storage What?!

  • Can v change internal memory from 4gb to 8gb and can v increase ram from 1 to 2 r 4 can any one say

  • So far I'm using Lenovo S820 (red) and this device's performance is excellent. There is no lag and the camera is superb. Android kitkat in here works fluidly, no problems or what so over. Though my kikat hadn't been rooted but still, it works the best. With 8gb as internal and sd card slot up to 32 gb, the multi tasking and other heavy usage is no problem. I recommend this phone for mid range and I'm sure once you have it, you'll love it. :D (Compare to Sony Xperia and Samsung's touch wiz which are trash looool I had these phones before and it's a crap. Sorry for the comment, but it does really do.)

  • Updated Android Version 4.4.2 is not capable compare to its hardware and its totally battery consumption and drain the market value of mobile. According to me the past version 4.2.1 is most suitable and having more suitable for S820 Lenovo.

  • i agrees with your opinions. bestest lenovo ever build.

  • My friends, router share you internet at your home if you have one. that way its free for you gadgets. Gets it?

  • this is the best lenovo mobile ever created by lenovo.. to me it is perfect... it has everything you need, the camera, the memory, great design, user friendly, it comes with great tech spec.

  • After 4.4.2 upgrade Battery drains faster. Lags than jb. Lot of Bugs. Better 2be with 4.2 version. Any one knw how to dwngrde!?

  • It is the Lenovo update like in their Vibe series. You can use launchers like GO Launcher, Nova launcher etc if you want menu type (the old style)

  • root mean your use no official lenovo operating system for you phones you use 3rd parties software that are download at internet.

  • friends, you wifi or data connection are to be stronger for better update. off and on the phones. hopes help you problems.

  • these are the bugs that I found after i updated my S820 to kitkat from jellybean. 1. Battery drains faster. When it was in JB version, from 100%, it last a day or two before the battery reaches 0% even when I'm playing my games. Now that it's in Kitkat version, the battery life do not last long unlike before. 2. Front Camera Timer is missing!! I love to take a picture. But after the update, thr front camera timer is gone! 3. The Menu Button is missing also. I know it is a new design but it is a bad design!! It is definitely bad idea to put all icons/apps in the "desktop" or main page. It's too crowded! 4. Themes. There are no available theme designs but the default one! I hate that there is no other way to change the themes. I hope they put a shop or whatever that will allow us to choose a theme. And with regard to this, the only way I found is to make my own wallpaper. BUT when I try to use my own picture as my wallpaper, it turns to be "stretched" and there is no other way to adjust it. What a lame. *The only good thing i found in Kitkat was the storage is bigger now. And it is faster noe. Nothing else.

  • I update my lenovo s820 with android kikat 4.4.2 now its worstest phone ...after updations ..camera is became worst not clear unlike before...can't pick the calls..showing pocket dailer..mobile screen alwyz showing pockiT failed msg..while getting call also ...can't pick call.......dosnt know what to do now......help plzz

  • I m using this phone since 6 months. How can i upgrade my os from jelly bean to kitkat. Somebody please help me out.

  • I have been using the Lenovo S820 with 4.4.2 kitkat for weeks now and I have encountered the following issues: 1. Sometimes the notification drawer just stops halfway 2. Some apps may have compatibility issues, like asphalt 8 having control issues which I did not have when my phone was still 4.2.1 3. It looks to me the phone's battery goes down faster in android 4.4 than back in android 4.2 4. I don't know if this is 100% kitkat or maybe 99%? I mean when I tap a few times on the android version the "k" comes out. After tapping few times again the kitkat android logo comes out but after tapping and holding jelly beans come out. 5. Camera shutter speed is slower than it was in 4.2 I do like the 4.4 version because it is smoother and faster than 4.2 but buggier. Where can we raise these concerns so that lenovo must release an update with bug fixes

  • its in power manager apps..go and search

  • I upgrade 4.4.2 it's wonderful

  • How much is your internal memory capacity? Are you upgraded to KitKat? Also check the following: Settings->Storage and set the DEFAULT WRITE DISK to SD card if it is selected the Phone storage

  • If you have broadband connection, then use WiFi

  • Thats mean your phone only 2gb storage because this model have 2 version 4/8gb storage..maybe the seller cheated on you.

  • For me neither of these methods work :/. I really don't know where is the probem. Before the upgrade Framaroot worked perfectly. Now nothing works...

  • Before the upgrad i had just about 200MB free on the internal storage and I was using Link2SD to move everything on the SD card but it didn't work much. After the update a didn't have to move anything and I have the same apps and everything and now i have abou 1,5 GB free on the internal storage so... No problem with internal storage :)

  • Hi Friends I am planning to Buy lenovo Mobile will u tell me which model is better S820 r S850..Please tell me soon

  • I have updated my Lenovo S820 operating system to KitKat 4.4.2. I identified a serious bug after updating my mobile. If you set a custom ringtone for your mobile, it would be always reset to the default system ringtone, after switching off and restating the mobile.

  • Hi, You can go to contact an authorized lenovo service center in your country I think cost of having the lcd screen changed is around Php3,000+ (around 70+ US Dollars) but couldn't remember exactly how much though.

  • Hope they update the Specs page of the S820 here in GSMArena to reflect that it's upgradable to Kitkat. :)

  • Update to a newer firmware

  • Where can I get the screen repaired from? Mine broke...and how much does it cost?

  • Wat abt otg after 4.4.2 upgrade?

  • Yes itz normal. U can use nova launcher

  • Is there anyway this model can support OTG??

  • I am having the same concern.. Then i downloaded Nova Launcher and stared using it.. Its working fine..

  • Upgradable to kitkat4.4.2

  • Yes, dual standby. Both sim can work simultaneously on this phone. But only sim 1 supports 3g.

  • I have just downloaded the recent Kitkat upgrade for my s820. The download was 715 MB by the way. Everything is well except for one issue, the app drawer icon is missing, I couldn't find it anywhere. All apps/ icons are found on the main screen. Is this normal?

  • I update my phone last week. From Jelly Bean to Kitkat.

  • Does both the sim work together on this phone?

  • The new firmware is 180 MB.

  • SIZE of Kitkat updates for Lenovo s820 ?

  • why can't go manila apps did not run on my lenovo k900?

  • When I am listening to audio/music to some apps and someone calls, when I answer it still plays music/audio...It is quite disturbing that some apps continue to play music/audio in the background while I am on call...please how to fix?

  • A new firmware update is now available for s820 after the KitKat update. First I noticed was the addition of the stock game Asphalt 7. Download now guys and let us know your thoughts! Thanks, GSMArena!

  • Friends, I heard that Lenovo rolled out the Kitkat update for the S820 smartphones. But I haven't get the same yet. Kindly let me know whether anybody received the same and how I will get the Kitkat

  • It seems that you may have a faulty hardware. Claim your warranty by going to the Lenovo service center to have it replaced. They won't take more than 20 mins to replace even the most difficult parts. HTH! :)

  • Can you provide more details to get help from the users here? What version of android are you in? What have you done to make certain that you can't get an upgrade? What's the error message? Hope we can help if you provide more details.

  • Nice! I hope my experience will be as pleasant as yours when I get my phone back. :)

  • Coincidentally, I shared the same thoughts. :)

  • If the user-base significantly increases (meaning more people realize that this is a best bang for the buck phone and significantly more people buy it), it may be a possibility. :)

  • or, download YouTube alternatives. Which is in my opinion, a lot better. Try FREEDi or Viral. Thank me after. HTH! :)

  • Have you tried YouTube alternatives? IMO, they're a lot better than YouTube itself. Download FREEdi and Viral. You can thank me after! HTH! :)

  • There are apps in the Google Play Store that will satisfy your customization craving. You can look for the one that suits your needs. HTH! :)

  • Download Viber and ask your friends to use Viber instead. It's faster and have more productivity options than Whatsap. HTH! :)

  • In any brand or device, unless if it's insured, the warranty does not cover accidents or misuse. In the Philippines, official Lenovo screen replacement from the service center is about PhP 3,000 or less. Google for the conversion. The replaced screen will have the standard warranty. But again, not covering accidents or misuse.

  • Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. I recommend that you go to a store that has all, or most, of those models and compare their low light shots side by side. Whichever fits your budget, buy it. HTH! :)

  • The symptom you pointed out indicates that your phone is locked with a mobile carrier. Contact Lenovo to upgrade your firmware. HTH! :)

  • I think you have a faulty GPU. You might want to contact Lenovo or visit their service center to have the parts replaced. HTH! :)

  • I'm glad you did! :)

  • Your Kitkat experience have made me more eager to get my S820 back! :)

  • It's the first time I've heard about the limitation of Kitkat in other brands. Thanks for the information Boodee! :)

  • Just like the comment earlier, it seems that you have a faulty IMEI chip. Lenovo service center replaces it in less than 10 mns. HTH! :)

  • The IMEI faulty chip is a known issue in other mobile phones forums. It will take Lenovo service center less than 10 mins to replace it. HTH! :)

  • That can be easily fixed by Lenovo. Contact them or go to their service center. They can solve your concern ASAP. HTH! :)

  • Download "Nova" from the Google Play Store. It will do more than just resize icons! :)

  • I'm interested to know if you found a solution to your concern. Please keep us posted. Have you tried contacting Lenovo? They can solve your concern ASAP.

  • Download Swiftkey from the Google Play Store. You can configure it not to vibrate. If all else fails, contact Lenovo. They can solve your concern ASAP. HTH! :)

  • I can't wait to get my S820 back so that I upgrade to Kitkat! :)

  • Awesome feedback! I shall try to update my S820 to Kitkat once I get it back! :)

  • Just select the app drawer then individually drag apps out of the folder to the main screen. HTH! :)

  • The 4GB version has long been phased out. If you purchased it less than a year ago, I recommend you return it and demand for an 8GB version. If they won't do the exchange, your only luck is Link2SD. Google for instructions. They're easy to follow.

  • Yes, day-dreaming is one thing in life that is free. You can dream to get all the specs you mentioned at the price of the S820. Day dreaming will cost you nothing. :)

  • It's in the power settings but I would recommend you to get the Battery Percentage App from Google Play Store so that it will overlap in your battery icon instead of using more space. :)

  • What kind of pain? tingling? piercing? banging? crawling pain? Have you tried using a headset instead or turning the volume down a bit? If all else fails, contact Lenovo. They can solve your concern ASAP. HTH! :)

  • If you're using the default SMS app, all you need to do is to press the volume up/down key to increase/decrease font size. If all else fails, contact Lenovo. They can solve your concern ASAP. HTH! :)

  • Yes, I fully agree with your positive comment Ribar! :)

  • There are tons of apps in Google Play Store which will allow you to fully customize your user interface and even all imaginable widgets. With regards to internal storage, if you have the 4GB version, I recommend you return it to your seller and demand the 8GB edition. They have long phased out the 4GB. The 8GB has the same price, if not, even cheaper. Regarding switching sims, what I do is I don't set any defaults so that it will ask me which sim to use whenever I make a call. If all else fails, contact Lenovo. They can solve your concern ASAP. HTH! :)

  • I rarely have read negative experiences. I'm sorry to hear that Lenovo service center in your area doesn't have spare parts. Stores here in the Philippines have a 7 day replacement warranty. And the Lenovo service center takes a maximum of 20 mins to replace any part, if they can't, they replace the entire phone. :) If all else fails, contact Lenovo. They can solve your concern ASAP. HTH! :)

  • Are you using the 4GB version instead of the 8GB edition? If so, return your phased out phone back to the seller to claim your 8GB as the 8GB should be at the same price, if not, even cheaper. If you already have the 8GB edition and still experiencing that message, go to settings, then storage, then check if you have space concerns. If you do have space concerns, contact Lenovo. They will do a firmware update or replace your phone ASAP. HTH! :)

  • If you recently bought the phone, I recommend that you go back to the store and return it as your 13mpx camera may be faulty and Chinese characters randomly appear. If they won't replace it. contact Lenovo. They can solve your concern ASAP. HTH! :)

  • You may need a keyboard app in the Google Playstore to change the qwerty to numpad. I'm not sure why anyone would want that though. HTH! :)

  • There's no other version. All S820 from the launch date has 13mpx camera. The difference is, some people were unfortunate to get the 4GB internal memory. Make sure you get the 8GB internal memory and you'll be fine. :)

  • I agree with your positive comments guys! :) This is one of the rare best bang for the buck phones in the market with 8GB & over 300 PPI with a very low price! :)

  • To be able to pair your phone to the bluetooth device, you must first "SCAN" for devices. If all else fails, contact Lenovo. They can solve your concern ASAP. HTH! :)

  • If you're unfortunate enough to have the 4GB edition of this instead of the 8GB edition, you'll always come across "storage full" situation. I recommend you to return it to your seller and demand for the 8GB which is the same price, if not, even cheaper. If you can't return, don't be sad. There's a solution called Link2SD. Google for more instructions. It's easy to follow. HTH. :)

  • I had my phone updated to KITKAT Version & now i am not able to transfer any app to my sd card can someone help me with dat

  • I couldn't agree with you more Xabiil! :)

  • If you have tried updating via settings and it says that you've got the latest version of your firmware, most likely, your phone is locked with a particular mobile carrier. If all else fails, contact Lenovo. They can solve your concern ASAP. HTH! :)

  • I'm almost certain you've bought the 4GB edition. You should've purchased the 8GB edition as they're phasing out all 4GBs and the price of 8GB is the same (if not cheaper) than the 4GB. My advice, return to the place who sold you that unit and demand for an 8GB as the price is the same or even cheaper. :) HTH!

  • I'm using the camera on a regular basis to capture all my receipts and important documents to be stored in CamScanner App. I use Waze navigation app on a daily basis. No complaints from me. I'm a happy camper considering that this phone is over 300 ppi w/ 8GB internal storage!! :)

  • Your IMEI chip may be faulty. It is quite common and Lenovo service center (it's Citilight in Manila) quickly replaces it for free. They can replace it in less than 10 mins. If all else fails, contact Lenovo. They can solve your concern ASAP. HTH! :)

  • Have you tried other camera apps? If it's the same, have you tried updating to a newer firmware? If all else fails, contact Lenovo. They can solve your concern ASAP. HTH! :)

  • I'm inclined to answer most, if not all, of the queries I come across. However you're using all CAPS. Perhaps when you've learned how to post your queries correctly, more people will engage themselves to help you. :) Just an advice. :) Contact Lenovo. They can solve your concern ASAP. HTH! :)

  • Your phone might be overheating. If you have a case, remove it. If you already have removed the case, place it in a cooler place (not too cold to the point it will moist). If that fails, reformat your phone to factory setting. Most likely, you have installed an app that's driving your phone nuts. If all fails, contact Lenovo. They can solve your concern ASAP. HTH! :)

  • Have you checked if auto-brightness settings is on/off? Do you have a screen protector covering the light sensor? That area might be dirty. Try removing your screen protector if it's blocking the light-sensor. HTH! :)

  • big mistake by buying. getting hung and restarting always. storage space insufficient message comes while updating apps. so have to uninsatll many built in free apps. camera is ok . but video gets stuck. poor opinion of this phone . let down. only after 8 months of use

Notification goes well here, fb, email, message, etc. Thanks Lenovo, keep up the good work.

  • Updated my phone to kitkat 4.4.2 this morning and after that even though apps are activated to give notification the only notification I get is from my email. Please help. Thank you.

  • Hi, I have the same problem with youtube app after update to kitkat. It seem that it is not rare issue according to reactions on google play store. Is is problem also on other phones. Solution is to google and download older version of youtube apk. For me version 5.3.23 works without freezing and I have tried like 5 versions. So type to google "youtube apk 5.3.23" and find working link to download that apk file. Then install it using file manager ( you have to allow installation of apps from unknown sources in settings of course ) and than thank me :) Regards

  • The new KitKat on S820 doesn't have restriction of writing to external card by third party apps like KitKat on other brands. This is good news, as many apps won't work properly on other brand's kitkat when they try to write to external sd card.

  • go for lenovo p780..the only performance oriented device currently availavke in mkt.

  • I updated today my S820 to Kit Kat 4.4 and I'm facing 2 problems: 1. My phone detects my SIM 2G/3G card but I don't have service. No calls, no internet. I didn't have this problem before the update. 2. Now my PC is not recognizing the phone anymore. Anyone with this problem?

  • Hi, Latest update from lenovo S820_ROW_S220_140722 from Jelly Bean 4.2.1 to KitKat 4.4.2 resolved space issues. Now I have all internal memory in one partition 4GB. But I have another issues with modem which was resolved in 4.2.1. I don't have signal on both sims on 4.4.2. Anyone have a solution for this problem? A new file modem_1_3g_n.img and a solution to replace existing file?

  • Can somebody confirm that after the update, the lock feature of the stock video player as well as the MX player can't disable the home key?

  • After my first android update my front camera started to become weird, colorful circles around white objects in the picture. And now after I upgraded to kitkat 4.4.2 the front camera worsen, it only displays white and red! What should I do? Thanks :)

  • Hi everyvone. I am using Lenovo S820 for half a year and I have some experience to share with you about new official 4.4.2 Kitkat update, which was released few days ago by Lenovo. This update has some drawbacks like not very smooth new UI (lags), bad laggy calendar app, missing app menu/drawer ... But it has also some nice new features (wireless display support, build in wifi share option in file manager, possibility to unlock phone using volume buttons...) and it provides better score in Antutu - more than 16000 point (with Android 4.2 it was 13500). For me the best way to solve issues with lags and missing classic menu was to install free Nova launcher from Google play. It completely changes your menu and it will feel/looks like stock android menu (with classic app list) and it has many settings to customize and it is lag free!!! Then I also highly recommend to update build in calendar app, which is very laggy after update to Kitkat. You can easily update this app using Google play store and browse your all apps and this calendar app should be here and you can just update it. New version is lag free. And dont be afraid of chinesse letters in this app, it will change language automatically after installation.

  • have install launcher, (nova launcher) [email protected]

  • No timer in front cam???

  • To create new folders. Long tap an icon then drag it with another icon, those icons will be placed in a folder. To change the name of the folder. Tap it, then tap the name folder and your keypad will pop up to change it.

  • great works lenovo for 4.4.2 kitkat update -internal free memory increase upto 5.3gb -new lock function looks great -no need any other antivirus,lenono antivirus works fine -new bootscreen is awesome -but i dont know lenovo put anather antivirus norton which is no need -normal ram uses increase which is cause slow functioning hope lenovo get fix this bugs next update

  • How to change the size of desktop icons ?? i didn't find the option.

  • Upgraded to kitkat. Here are my comments: 1. My apps are gone :( but i reinstalled them from apk retained on my phone. Still, my save files are gone :( 2. No app drawer. Im not used to it. Or i just dont know how to get to the app drawer (not the homescreen with all the apps) 3. Dunno how to create additional folders 4. I still prefer the interface, features and widgets from the previous os (esp the calendar!) 5. Cant deactivate vibrate on notifications. I disabled everything already! 6. Better message ui. The new security app also blocks unwanted messages. 7. Notif bar on previous is better since i can know already the signal status of my networks (g/3g/etc) 8. Still have no feature to see the battery consumption graph 9. Lock screen is better on previous 10. Super limited ringtone choices 11. Chrome often crashes 12. Asphalt7 not working anymore :( 13. Camery still has difficulty focusing on low light, far objects and zoomed in objects :( 14. Cant access internal sd on my pc. Replaced by lenovo suite which doesnt work :( 15. Can read emoji now! But no input option :( Now im thinking on reseting my phone to factory status :(

  • How to add/create folder? On new 442 kitkat

  • Just wanted to ask if after you upgraded to kitkat, does the LOCK feature on the stock video player work disables the HOME key? Mine doesn't. Even if I use the MX player app. Before I upgraded to kitkat, normally when the LOCK feature on MX Player is enabled, the screen and the 3 buttons below the screen are disabled and shouldn't do anything when pressed. Now, whenver I press the Home button it will go to the desktop screen.

  • Go to settings -> Language & input -> click the settings for android keyboard -> uncheck vibrate on press

  • Updated my Lenovo to Kitkat. My comments: - Cool interface - Takes up about 70% of RAM - New security system (cannot be uninstalled) However, i cant find the timer when i use front cam? Anyone know where it went?

  • go to settings/wlan press the left side key beside the home key button then select advance. put always in keep wlan on during sleep. hope this helps.

  • Is there anyone upgraded their Lenovo s820 to 4.4, I upgraded mine yesterday and i found out that: -the speaker is clearer than before which is great for music listeners. -overhaul in UI makes it easier to interact (iphone like). - in built antivirus (no need for other antivirus software). - interal memory is 5.3gb free(good for more storage). - google play music can detect music from sd card (finally for me since my phone cannot detect music from sd card, only detects internal memory) - few new functions that are interesting. - minor camera improvement ...but there are some cons as well: - low RAM (after update to 4.4, it takes away 75% of the RAM, after that phone responds are slower, hope Lenovo fix it soon). - inbuilt app (norton antivirus) is no use for me since there is already another antivirus. - new UI may not suit for all. that's all for my opnion for the upgrade, i don't know how others fare with the upgrade. I hope this helps u guys to consider the upgrade or not...

  • By the way do you know how to upgrade internal memory cause mine is 1.46GB how to root to 4gb

  • Thanks for your solution! However, I disabled vibration on notifications but my phone still vibrates every time it receives a message.

  • Now lenovo s820 is kitkat .and please update your specification

  • Hello Everybody, Lenovo Team has finally released KITKAT update for S820. Please run your system update check. I have just got KITKAT update last night only. Cheers, Umang

  • just go to lenovo power setting

  • The specs are good! But this 2014 I think this phone needs an additional specs update, dual sim is really interesting, it would be better if its 4G LTE, Gorilla Glass 3, 5" and slim design, 2 or 3gb of ram, 8gb internal is good, memory card is good, camera is good but it would be more popular if they make it 16mp rear and 5 or 8mp front video and music player technology like you can watch movies while texting or having other apps open and air shuffle with 5 to 10 inch sensor, and better audio or speaker, octacore, kitkat version, and snapdragon 801, 3000 or 4000 mah battery life, with fast charging technology. But I dont know this maybe a fantasy but lets just hope.

  • Hello guys! Is there anybody here who knows how to display the percentage of the battery level? I was able to activate it before but forgot to do it. 😔

  • This.phone can hotspot with laptop or other device or not?

  • If I speak in the phone for 30 mins my ears will get pain, I have not found this issue in other phones.

  • Lenovo S820 8gb was released Android 4.4.2 Kitkat

  • to adjust text size u can use volume up and down to maximize or minimize text but make sure. you are using text msg. and another options u can use ur finger to drag in or out like camera zoom in and out.

  • My message text size is change too big.. How can i reset my messaging text size?

  • I have this phone about two months and all I can say is -Great. Very fast, exelent camera, great sound so I do not know what do uoy want cell phone to do for you?

  • I bought it 2 months ago.. The overall performance is good but it'll take few days to get used to it as it doesn't seem very user friendly. Camera, speed of the phone is good but gives lesser space for personalization like adding widgets or shortcuts, Customizing themes etc. Phone will start hanging slightly if no memory card is used or if all the images & apps are saved in phone memory. Music/ Radio volume is less. Every time you want to switch between the Sims, you'll have to go to the settings (a little longer process). Its worth buying if you want performance but don't care much for personalization.

  • the most worst mobile ever used.I bought lenovo s820 and on second day its screen started flickering.Its parts r also not available in the market even in service center.

  • Always get hung and restart itself. Apps cant update saying no storage space irrespective of facet no additional apps were installed

  • I have been using this mobile for about 3 months, here is want I found about the mobile. I had lots of expectations on mobile from Lenovo. I has become one of the China (Cheap) mobiles, ruining its brand image  .. very disappointing. Pros: ------  Design is good  Clarity is good  Have few inbuilt features like battery status, data usage etc  Camera is good but you need to see resolution before comparing with other mobiles  Its say has got good processor which seems to be good while operating the screens Cons: -----  Firstly I bought this as it has dual sim functionality, it doesn�t catch the signal for the second sim most of the time, though others friends having normal mobile have the signal of the same network. Totally a device failure catching the signal  Very poor signals all the time, in rural areas forget that you have a mobile   Very low sound on speaker and during call, if you are in a normal traffic you can�t hear the voice of the other party called.  In my mobile what I observed was even the receiver is having problem hearing my voice  Battery meter shows you have 20 or 30hrs left but suddenly drops to 1hr and switches off  you can�t rely on battery meter  Key board most amazing you will find it very difficult with the GO keyboard when compared to other mobiles  About the processor when you type it just hangs and you will struggle and you will feel that you don�t want to text some one  It doesn�t support the language I want, has got fewer options than other mobiles Conclusion: -----------------  Not worth money as it fails at basic functionality catching the signal and very low voice can�t hear the other persons voice during the call  Strongly don�t recommend !!!

  • did that really cost u rs.8800?????? even my phonez screen broke today.. i have no idea about the expenses

  • i think its quite good for me. but the battery is not stand longer. But the spec is good && its camera is very superb. i love it !!

  • i bought this phone 1,montj back evrg else is good but very bad internet and its not supporting 3g internet very slow!!!! slowest phone ever never buy this!!!

  • Did wifi hotspot available for this device ?

  • How's the battery life of this unit?it will last for a whole day using texting and music?

  • Just want to add that for 720p video (1280x720), the video stream is h.264 (high profile) 9 Mbps bitrate. For 1088p video (1920x1088), the video stream is mpeg4 (Main Profile) 20.1 Mbps bitrate.

  • I just got this phone for a few days, and I think I like it! I would like to share a few tips to fix its shortcomings. - No magnetic sensor. Download "Gps compass basic" by embedia on play store. Configure it to use gps compass in preferences. Walk fast or run for a few seconds so that the gps compass can calculate your bearing. - LenovoPower replacement Lenovo's built in battery saver is not very good or user friendly. Turn it off, and use GreenPower Free Battery Saver by binary mango instead. - Don't worry about 3gp video quality. True, the 3gp container isn't as sexy as mp4, but the video stream is actually mp4 quality h.264 avc format with 9 Mbps bitrate and 30 fps, not the old h.263 format that is commonly associated with 3gp. The audio stream is good quality AAC 128 Kbps. The video quality is quite good, much better than its 13 mp camera quality. - Terrible Lenovo headphone For around USD 30 you can buy MagicSound E10 in ear headphone that get rave reviews everywhere.

  • Hye and good morning. I want to ask why i can't open my Google account and some application like twitter play store so on after I've updated the version to KitKat android ?? I just got updated about five days ago and this is very make me uneasy. Tq for your respond.

  • the call cost is not being shown...any remedy or suggestion for this

  • Try to search the play store apk file with google and install from it

  • I must admit that battery life is indeed poor. But I can survive a day with low screen brightness and Wifi/bluetooth/GPS/background syncing off.

  • Yes, you can by downloading Google pinyin app.

  • Never buy a lenovo product. I had bought a Lenovo S820 (Red) phone about 3 months ago and within 1 month its display stopped working. The company decided to refund the money as there were no parts to repair it. I was told that the money would be credited to my bank account within 15 days. Despite repeated calls, every time I am told that the money would be credited to my bank account within 2 � 3 days but the same does not happen. It�s been one month since the phone was given back. Absolutely lousy service and no proper service centres or people to answer.

  • Very weak network signal. Any solution for this?

  • Poor network signal!!! Can anybody help?

  • Why my phone only hv 2gb internal

  • To GSMARENA, Can you do an in depth review of this cellphone? Thanks

  • may i noe this hp can take photo in the night without flashlight ?

  • Have been using this phone for last 7 months. I have the red 8 GB version. So far: 1. Camera is good and worthy of price. 2. Battery life is acceptable. With single sim, can last for 1 and half day with 2 hrs of Skype video call, 4 hours of Whatsapp, 4 hour of web surfing and 20 minutes of calls. 3. With dual sim, charge once in 24 hrs required. 4. Gaming performance is fine, It does not hang with most of the games. 5. Display is very clear and sharp. Specially the web surfing is quite comfortable. The tiny font is readable without magnification most of the time. 6. No problems in WiFi connectivity when it is set to "always on". 7. Sometimes signals are lost in basement. 8. Flashlight is quite handy. 9. Viewing angles are quite wide. 10. Ambient light sensor is sluggish and battery is consumed more when set to automatic brightness. So keep it off. 11. Light weight set is easy to carry. 12. Slim design easily slides into pocket of jeans. So far, I am quite satisfied with this set.

  • Slim.Fast.Handy.Reliable :)

  • Install Battery Doctor (DU Battery Saver) to double your battery life. I did the same.

  • I own this phone about a month. Pros: beautiful display, spectacular menu with a lot of extra settings opportunity. The main camera quality is really superb, realistic colors, fantastic macro mode (I shot more than 300 pictures). Incredible audio quality, much better than a lots of middle price phone. The headset quality is not bad (especially if you are use with earpad), but I using it with Sennheiser and AKG earphones :) . Thanks for the inteligent power management, not impossible to runs for two - two and half day (I listening music 2-3h, surfing internet 2-3h, listening radio 1h, and talking 20-25 mins per a day (and it is a long mode on the power management sw., not extreme!). Speed of the phone is enough for some 3D games. Cons: not to much thing - front camera quality quiet weak, 4GB system memory not too much nowadays, no LTE and the OS only 4.2.1. But overall very good value for money!

  • I bought the S820 a last week. The model is S820_ROW 8GB .I have 1 question about the wireless connectivity. According to the the specification it has dual-band capability. It should be able to detect the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz wireless network. My unit cannot find the the 5Ghz wireless network. I purchased it in the Philippines. The sales representative do not know how to troubleshoot the issue since they do not have a router that broadcast 5Ghz. I brought it to the service center and they do not know how to troubleshoot the issue. I was advised that the unit might have factory issue and got a replacement. I checked the unit but it still cannot find the 5Ghz wireless network. Can someone please tell me if this version is capable on detecting the 5Ghz wireless networks? Thank you.

  • White is available in 4GB version only, 8GB version comes only in Red. I have Red it looks good in Magpie semi transparent black back cover

  • Phone is great, specially battery life and Display. But RAM consumption is always seen about 75% even when disabled/Force stopped many unwanted applications might be because of customized UI. There are many preinstalled unwanted apps and there is no option to uninstall it. If Lenovo is planning for OS upgrades its a good mid range options

  • Is White colour cover available in Lenovo S820? I heard only Red colour cover is availabe. Actually I want a White colour cover in Lenovo S820. I'm going to buy this phone next week. So please if any one knows do tell me.

  • S820 is the best!

  • I hate this phone. It has been like I just bought it and from the minute it has started giving problems. 1. Call quality sucks. Too much disturbance is heard. My Dad's Xperia C is way better than this shit. This is because no noise cancellation mic is present in this phone. 2. Ui is awful. Typically copied from Samsung. 3. Feels plasticy. Very bad plastic. 4. Camera is OK. 5. Will never see 4.4 Kitkat on this phone. Because Kitkat has onscreen buttons. 6. Display is OK. 7. 3g works good, but It doesn't catch WIFI signals. Bluetooth takes too long to connect. 8. Phone doesn't lock gps locations fast. It takes about a min or two. Piece of shit. 9. Speaker is too rough. 10. Useless Pre installed apps. Just wasting memory. 11. Lags a lot when it gets full. Mediatek Quad Core is not upto the mark. 12. Signal drops are often found. Only Single simply supports 3g. 13. I have made a very big mistake buying this piece of shit. Will never buy a lenovo again in my life.

  • For lenovo S820 no built in traditional keypad. However, you can download Touchpal App. Then it gives you an option to use QWERTY and the Traditional Keypad..That's what I did in mine.

  • Is it true that s820 shoot only 3gp formate, there's no option for shoot video in mp4 formate

  • We all know that it's not available in the Play store. So what I did was finding it through google.com. Then search the name of the game like Flappy bird then add the word apk.. for example Flappy Bird apk...then you'll be given links. not all the link works. You need to find it one by one..that's what i did in mine.

  • coverage very bad for upcountry or deepening village.. for any telco i think..

  • Hi all i'Ve been using this phone for 2 months now. So here comes my review. Pros: 1. The phone is blazing fast. I haven't encountered a single lag. Its smooth to move around the screen. 2. The display is awesome with really good colours and great blacks. 3. Has a decent battery life and can last for more than a day with average everyday usage with 3g connection turned on all the time 4. UI is very attractive and offers a lot of options for customization 5. Camera is pretty good than many other top brand phones out there and there are a lot of tools that you can play around with 6. Voice clarity and background noise cancellation during calls is amazing. I previously has a Sony Xperia and I had to press the phone to my ear to hear the person at the other end. With this, even while travellinmg where ther is lot of nice, I can hear clearly. 7. There is no call dropping. 8. Lenovo power does a good job at power saving but it tends to interfere with our day to day activities. We can always download a battery saver app from the play store though 9. Sound quality is very good. I read some reviews that the headphones that come with the box are useless. But I found them to be on par with if not better than some sony headphone that come with xperia models. Basically if you are not an audiophile, then the headphones will be perfect for you 10. There are a lot of highly useful inbuilt apps like the task cleaner which does a pretty good job at clearing RAM space and in stlye 11. Build quality is good and it doesn't feel creaky or wobbly while using although the back panel is a bit slippery so you might want to take additional care if you have sweaty palms. Cons: 1. Takes a long time to charge a 100% 2. Automatic brightness is bit glitchy. The screen dims and brights up randomly with no apparent reason. If you want a dual sim smart phone with these specs butdont want to trust models like lava or xolo and at the same time want something other than the big brands like sony samsung etc, then blindly go for this Its a bang for your buck If you have any more questions regarding this, then please post it here

  • last seen summary cant be seen y so

  • lenovo is the king of smartphone. Use it ......feel it....................

  • Download perfect keyboard from playstore...cheers

  • at the time of chating woth my friends key pad is nly show in strait its doesnt rotate plz tel me how to rotate keypad at the time of typing

  • Yes...built in task manager

  • pls. post some test pics.

  • Does it not have compass ?

  • Does it have built in task manager like samsung so you can clear ram and kill running apps in an instant

  • what about the updates of our phone ? from jelly bean to kitkat

  • Can we take pictures from any other hardware key except that default click icon on screen ?

  • Does it really give 10 hour talktime on 3G ??

  • Its great.. 13mp.. Super clear..

  • Yes.. Just like other phones lock key + bottom volume key!

  • Hi. Help please. I'm not a fan of QWERTY keypad, I like the traditional 4x4 keypad. Someone please tell me how do I change the qwerty keypad, thank you.

  • Its great.. 13mp.. Super clear..

  • Sure can

  • ouh ok..tq

  • hmm im just wondering if this phone supports taking pictures while playing videos like screenshot coz i watch on youtube that his phone (lenovo s820) can do it .. im just curious coz my phone cant do it .. is it on the settings or something .. plz reply thx ..

  • its good actually and take note its not 12mp but when you adjust in the setting its 13mp .. :) but the antutu benchmark said that its 12.6mp .. ;)

  • thanks for your solution of advice now my problem is that i cant find flappy bird with 3.0 ver would you suggest where can i find one .. and let see if it works :)

  • Can anyone suggest if rubber cover will help against fall or leather ?

  • Lenovo s820 camera good or not??

  • do it hav tethering option ???

  • If you are downloading the old version of Flappy bird then it actually lags. But if you are using the Flappy Bird version 3.0 then you will not experience any lags..The version that lags was the version 1.3 or 1.2...hope this helps

  • I bought this Lenovo S820 last week, specs are better than I expected, start with the display, very clear and scratch free screen with corning glass. Internal memory with 4GB is ok as the price itself is not that expensive, if you expect for a beyond 4GB internal memory and the price will automatically adjust and would go high base on research. Although its not a dolby enhanced speaker at least we have one that is reliable. Amazing processor with 1.2Ghz, it actually do some multitasking activities like, when your downloading apps, while doing some facebook activities with no delays and lags. Camera was beyond what I expected, not to be baised, but the super camera was like a DSLR, camera shots were like DSLR shots, you can also do quick camera shots 100 in a row. And lastly, with this slim type of phone, you can never ask for anything else.

  • i had download ussd to notification it the same

  • me too same your problem i install the flappy bird game after that i play the game but the flappy bird is so very slow.

  • i tried restarting my phone but the fvcking flappy bird is still slomo .. not hanging not lagging the sounds are fine accurate to the game but the speed of the game is slow its the same with zombie tsunami .. why is that happening thats the only problem of my s820 .. tsk

  • Can this phone survive some falls from bed etc ? Is there any special rubber cover available that protects it and also does not hide the red sparkle background. Will it survive falls without cover? Any idea how much will gorilla glass on outside cost if that is broken ?

  • Can we directly connect usb or keyboard to this device? Also, can anyone please post pics taken from this mobile and how clear are they. How is the shutter speed of camera ?

  • To all lenovo s820 users my frnd ,the only problem that is have with my phone is after the calling not received the service sms (balance information) , but i solved it by downloading ussd notification app in android store , try this app my frnds

  • Super phone but after the calling not received the service sms (balance information)

  • I recenty got s820. Then i had an accident. The screen has cracked at the bottom left side. Its not severe coz the scrern and scrolling is fine.. How much would it cost to replace the cracked screen?

  • i've check for software update. it available. after done download then upgrade. it failed. and i can't update it. :(

  • Everytime I tried to use HDR in Camera it crash. What should I do ?

  • Great phone and super fast but I have a weird problem when I go to task manager and close all open apps still use about 900 mob from the 1 GB ram but I tried HD games it run fast but always have over 90 % of ram used even no app running. Also is there is a clean ROM of android without any additional app for this phone I have many many app on it can't uninstall only can disable and there is small different from android devices like Lenovo a3000 first I thought it,s not original but I checked the imei and it,s OK original

  • i am not getting the balance confirmation messages from the service provider after each call is made from S 820. usually on all other phones i used get the balance confirmation of my account from my sim providers ie BSNL and Reliance (push messages) . can any one explain thisproblem

  • just bought 820 last week for my son. RM 750 including memory upgrade, screen protector and casing. not a bad deal for hp with the spec. works fine..battery life quite good. except the 12 MP cam that does not perform like one.

  • check your lenovo widget battery settings and use customized settings probably your phone was set to best, long, extreme this will turn off your wifi auto when not in used to save power.

  • Alot people say that camera is not clear as compare to samsung devices... while checking I tried diff method and found that HDR will help you to get clearer pictures.

  • To fix your issue in LOW Memory space just go to Settings > All Settings > Storage then Default write disk use your External Storage ( this is your SD Card ) then hit Ok. In this case all your new apps will auto be saved in SD card not on your internal disk. You may also go to apps and transfer all your previous apps to your external disk since all your apps saved on your internal will be disabled due to the changes you made earlier. I can say it fixed my issue as my phone only have 8gb and my external is 16gb.

  • just go to lenovo power then u will see setting icon then click then disable lock screen cleaning.

  • I've been using this phone for 2 days now, and I must say it works really well (for now). No lag whatsoever. Camera is 'good' (not great). It shoots only 720p for the back Camera and 640x360 for the front Camera. The microphone is a bit on the down side, but maybe it's just my unit. The price is reasonably cheap for a phone with these specification.

  • I got this phone about 6 month ago it is really nice and easy to use loved it so much but one big problem I don't like about it , its when you make a call and the other side did not answer automatically he take next last dialed or missed call and ( MAKE THE CALL ) !!! AND GUESS WHAT , YOU CANT HANG UP

  • Dear All, I got my Lenovo S820 last month and today the phone fell from my hand and the screen got shattered. Though i have a small doubt, The LCD Display is still intact and doesnt show any break or crack, but the glass on top is filled with cracks. Do i need to change the whole display as that will cost me half the price of the phone or will i need to change only the glass on top. Please help guys... Feels yuck to have my screen broken on a brand new phone... Please Help !!!!!!!! Regards

  • Great, Nobody would have noticed it that the 3 buttons don't have light below. keep it up

  • thank you man !

  • after buy this phone wifi problem..enable to play.after 3 phone buy not working play store....why this falt????...

  • This phone is designed that way. The three buttons below the screen really has no light. It's never an issue for me because you will in time get used to where their locations are even in total darkness.

  • My only issue now with this phone is the slow shutter speed of the camera. must be the stock software which is the Lenovo Super Camera. Turns out that the pics are blurry esp. when taking pics of people moving like kids. Even the Burst function can't keep up.

  • Hi Guys ! Bought this 2 days ago and noticing that there is no light for function touch buttons at the bottom. Pls tell me if it is how it comes or am I using the faulty one??

  • Gey guys! I'v bought this few days back and noticing that there is no light for function touch buttons at the bottom...is this actually how it is in this handset or am I using a faulty unit??? Please notify

  • Am using since 6 mths. Battery backup is excellant (with Lenovo Power), Audio & Video output good. Good Signal pickup, Good voice call. Lockscreen issue, slow responsive, 12 MP camera but imgage capture like 5MP. Horrible Internal memory. 1.5 GB on purchase, if go for Andrion version update, it became 700 MB. No it is 95 MB with some basic minimum app from google store.

  • It's an issue from ur service provider. Contact them

  • I am not able to send msgs on whtsapp using Docomo 2g but I m able to send using other networks or WiFi..why is it so? Not getting push messages after call or using data What is the solution of above two issues?

  • can we directly connect usb or keyboard to this device?

  • Moto G camera quality is absolutely blur rather than overall it is good phone and I don't know about lenovo. I think u should go for xolo because I am using from two months.

  • plsssssss dont buy this phone.. camera is horrible. u wont even imagine. it says 12mp but doesnt look lik even 5MP. Obviously the company is trying to fool us. its no way 12MP OR EVEN 5MP. I GOT THIS BY MISTAKE AND NOW LAMENTING OVER IT.

  • I just bought s820 at ocean-melaka bout rm 800.i believe if u go to loy yat u'ii can get cheaper.

  • Okay, for those whose message (SMS) ringtone is not working, here's a quick tip. Finally, I found the solution but not after a near heart attack :D First - Go to Setting >> All Settings >> Apps Then, in the Apps screen, slide your screen all the way to the right until you are in the "ALL" tab. Next, slide downwards on the applications list and find the ContactManager. Tap or select it. In the App Info screen of the ContactManager be sure to check that the "SHOW NOTIFICATIONS" option is enabled. (There should be a check mark beside it :)) That's it. Your message tone and status bar notification should be all well now. I hope this steps fixes your problem too. Thanks!

  • Message tone for SMS not working. Please help. Anybody experienced the same issue with this phone?

  • How do i block a contact from my phone lenovo s820? Anyone, please help. thanks!

  • When I charge my lenovo s820.. the lenovopower will show how long I should charge my phone..usually 2 hours something..but it can only charge until 99% and state that 6 more minutes to 100%..but after 6 minutes..the percentage is still the same..so usually I will stop charging the phone.. One time, I accidentally overcharge the phone for over an hour and the battery is fully charged... So, my question is, should I stop charging the phone when it is 99% or overcharge it until it is fully charged? Which method will damage the battery or no effect at all..? Thanks.

  • Bought this mobile a couple of weeks ago. I was into a great confusion as at the same price range motoG was available. Yet, lenovo s 820 was so eye catching that made me to choose this. Everything is perfect about this mobile..only 1 thing that disappointed me a bit is its camera. 12 MP is what they say but it doesnt look like what is said. im able to pick at the most 1980 pixels with cam. But that did not took me away as other tech specs tied me up there at that price, If one would ask me... i would as well recommend to go for this mobile rather than motoG...

  • Mine is having trouble charging. Like it says charging but it dies while it's charging.

  • About the radio, does it needs the wired headset to work or can play the radio without connecting the headset as it has built-in radio antenna?

  • I bought it yesterday morning. Good phone at this price bracket. But going by the cons,one would have to think over. RAM management is bad. Out of the four cores(since it's a quad core processor) only one core takes all the load in general,resulting in overload. I have only installed three to four apps of around 20MB in total.But the phone keeps on rebooting a lot,especially when connected to internet via WiFi or 3G data. So,definitely bad performance.No support or fix is found online

  • Can i play Real Racing 3,FIFA 14,GTA Vice City/3,Modern Combat 4 on this phone and if can on what setting?in term of performance,is it any better than Galaxy Nexus or the opposite?Btw i'm not decided between this phone and Moto G but on certain cases,Moto G seems cant keep up with games such as GTA San Andreas becoz its not optimize well on Snapdragon platform?So in the end of the day,which phone is better?

  • Hi, hw s this lenovo?.... I too using micromax a90s, now I planning buy lenovo.. shall I?

  • I finally solve my problem. To all users who has a problem like with their message alert tone. You have to enable the caller broadcast under message setting. I am again happy now. I'll rate this phone 8.5.

  • I thought this was a good phone but later I found out that message alert tone is not working. I sometime missed a text message. Is there an application u can download so that my message alert tone will work.

  • I have been looking for a phone with quad core processing capability, 4.7 inch display with a good browsing capability and better battery. Lenovo at this slashed price below 15000 found to be very good and I purchased one. I am using it for some weeks and I found it to be a very good phone compared to the Samsungs and the high priced HTC s Pros: Good battery,In limited 3g usage, music for some hours and calls the charge lasts more than 1.5 day. Very smooth and fast touch experience. Most of the apps and games I tried are working good. Includes all the feature a user needs at the current price below 15000,Good quad core processing, Slim and sleek design. Cons:If the 3g is on continuously it drains the battery in a day. Camera is not that great as Lenovo claims , though they call it supercam.

  • tell me too?

  • Did u get the solution to ur problem, even i face the same??

  • I have S820_8GB model. I am facing loss/poor signal for SIM-1 only. Lenovo replaced mother board as warranty. Still problem remain same. It may be design issue for all S820 models.

  • Thanks. That's a big relieve. :) Btw,anyone knows about instagram.does it works well.

  • there is an option in the settings to choose either internal or external storage for the apps to be installed,you can use the micro sd card :) no need to be rooted ,

  • If you want that fonts style work on your phone Please root it, then it works.

  • Hi guys :) Im attracted to this cool phone n planning to get one soon. However,i have some concerns that need some clarifications here,from the users: 1. The small internal ROM is the main issue. To install the apps into an external SD,do i have to ROOT the phone? That will be my last choice tho! 2. Is there any prob with the Instagram app? This will be my 1st android phone n i use the app actively. I found all the reviews veryyy helpful here. Thanks so much guys. :)

  • nice phone, i can change the skin/background of my text message. i suggest you buy 8 gb internal. fast browsing in wifi.

  • I have also faced the same problem,the videos that you record in 1080p HD cannot be sent over whatsapp/other sharing apps, the problem is all videos in Lenovo S820 get recorded in 3gp & while sharing it(whatsapp) converts it into mp4 format,which doesn't work atleast for this phone,3gp is the least quality format, this is quite annoying a high featured phone having this format, but I couldn't find any option to change the recording format from 3gp to mp4. The only solution is to record all your videos in 720p option, I've tried it & it works. Videos recorded in 720p although recorded in the same 3gp format are converted succesfully in mp4 format & are viewable on all phones. You need to go to settings menu when you open the SuperCamera in Video recording mode. Hoping this issue gets fixed in the next software update.

  • dear Friends try to use MX player and its good for all videos..

  • I just purchased a lenovo s820. For the price you probably wont get better but the quality shows in the price. My screen does funny things sometimes and its seems a little loose on the sides of the glass screen. The battery just lasts a day under normal usage. The GPS location finder is slooooow compared to Samsung or iPhone. Try being in a moving vehicle and this just doesn't keep up. The sound with headphones is extremely soft. I tried several headphones and all the same. Speaker on phone however is properly loud though. The processor although quad core 1.2 runs one core at about 600MHz most of the time. Slooow when opening apps and closing likewise.So nothing exceptional here. Some problems that someone might help with: Seem to have a camera app problem which only shows maximum 8MP. not sure how to fix this. All in all 7.5/10 because its much cheaper than similar spec phones.

  • Hi all I just purchased my s820 from flipkart a few days back. The phone is really good display is excellent and a lot of customization options are there Haven't encountered any lags in the two days till now. Camera is good enough for this range and sound is good too. The inbox accessories are not that bad as portrayed by some users. I Even found the headset to be similar or even better than the inbox headset offered for Sony xperia p Will give detailed review once I start using the phone much longer I just have a question. How can I display my online photos in super gallery? I have synced my fb and Google account galleries but the online photos are still not displayed in the super gallery

  • U can just go on messag option and do a call from messaging than ur solution will come

  • Hi All Guys, I just bought this Lenovo S820 8gb type. Its nice. its light, also it can play HD video without any lag, great speed & performance for middle/high range smartphone. but this phone has a little lack too. The camera although its 12mp, but i have compair it with samsung s3 mini (5mp) the picture result its not too much different. Also the menu button in my oppinion it would be better if had a backlight. The internal memory only 2,76 left for user (not much can be store,if i have HD videos). But Overall this smartphone its worth to buy. Its light for almost 5" smartphone, great speed, nice price. PS : can any one tell any difference between the Lenovo S820 48b with the 8gb type (are just have different in the storage size, or are there other differences?, because i can't find the lenovo s820 8gb spec in this site) Thanks

  • hi wewen, to set notification tone for the messages, go to messaging and go to setting. under notification settings, select ringtone. that's it. what you're changing previously is the media notification not the messaging ringtone. :-)

  • i just want to know if this phone has a video call using a regular call? (i hope you know what i mean guys) without using tango, line etc. just a regular call?

  • Could you please update me how to set call display in this mobile as I tried many times and failed.

  • Download ringo lite

  • Its really a good phone value for your money and the good thing is they have changed the batteries to lithium ion(faster charging and long lasting) instead of lithium polymer (slower charging and poor battery backup) and extended the internal memory to 8gb from 4gb. I have bought this phone and its really good. PPL planing to buy and those who are in dilemma situation to buy or not for them I'll say you must definitely go for this mobile cos even i was same like you before buying this mobile.

  • why my s820 messages ringtones not working altho i repeatly setting the ringtones...for both slot not working...but calling ringtone work perfectly..anyone can help me how to solve this problem..?

  • i just bought the 8gb version ,not all 8gb can use the user,some of it is in the system

  • the phone has no glitches but the camera is not up to the mark. it claims a 12, mp camera but the clarity of d pic is lower that a samsung 5 mp camera. it pixelets on zooming n the download speed on playstore is slow n frequent internet disconnections n video playing is also not smooth. not worth the cost. a samsung quattro is better

  • Yes. There is a limited edition 8 GB version. I bought it just today.

  • When i bought this s820 in jarir it has a sticker on the 8gb but the inside unit only has 4gb
