Here’s what Lenovo told us about P70’s reception and call quality problems

IMG_3115If you see the specs sheet and the price of Lenovo P70, you’ll say that it’s one of the best phones in this class and you will probably be right. But there are some problems, which don’t seem minor. Some of our users notified us about a problem with the 3G coverage, and of course, we tested it. When we measured that, we came up with a lower result than some other phones. In other words Lenovo P70 has worse 3G coverage than many other phones. Also, from time to time, when you are talking on the phone, the other person can’t hear you on the other side.

We asked Lenovo about this. Shortly after, they told us, that they think it’s probably a software problem and they are now working to create an update, which will fix it. If we receive more information about that, we will share with you.

Update: Lenovo is releasing a software update to address the P70 issues

Hi,
I’ve just bought Lenovo P70 today and I have a problem, already. When I write an SMS, a notification appears USIM CARD FULL. PLEASE DELETE ALL THE OLD MESSAGES. I have 70 messages in total, how can this notification appear? I used the sim before on other phones and I never had this problem and I had more than 200 messages.Thanks

I have this major issue with both the SIM network getting disconnected during call. most times in few seconds both network get back fine, but at times you need to restart the mobile to have the networks back. I have been using P70 for 2 months now and initial month there was no issues. I believe its with some of their latest firmware update which caused this issue.

Hi Hristiyan,

I upgraded my Lenovo P70 from Andorid 4 to Android 5.
when I added my exchange account (corporate), the contact didnt show up (the previous Andorid 4 didnt have any problem with this). and the call log also gone.

and if a call coming, and I couldnt pick, the “missed call” didnt show up too.

is there any suggestion for this problem?

How to enable call waiting in P70?

Before and after upgrade no progress in signal quality. 2g and 3g will not change automatically. Always signals struck. Don’t buy this phone you will regret.

If u have problem in call receiving and no voice goes out at another end. And during call dialing if u receive no sound then you have to replace hand free jeck and try to call and receive it. if not solved then i am going to tell you that it is a software problem which has to be fixed in software updation from the company itself. But unfortunately it is not.
