Lenovo is releasing a software update to address the P70 issues

Lenovo-P70After we received a number of complaints with regard to the Lenovo P70, our team personally contacted Lenovo to find out what they have to say about the issue. A couple of days ago, we informed you that the company considers the problem to be a matter of software and an update is being prepared to resolve the trouble.

Just minutes ago we heard from Lenovo, and there is good news for all P70 owners. The company apologizes for the signal loss and dropped calls, but highlights the fact that a new update has indeed been created to address the matter, and it will officially be released on Monday, March 16. They are delaying the release with a few days to conduct tests.

We still have our P70 test unit, so we’ll be waiting for the update and will, of course, share whether the problem is gone or if there are any changes in general. For the time being, feel free to comment and mention any additional problems, so that we could check them out.

I love this phone, but after 1 month, my problems are becoming a bit critical, hope Lenovo fix with the September update. wifi randomly drops out – only way to reconnect to wifi is with reboot. (tested in different wifi situations including office, shop, home) system crashed once while sleep mode (while I was sleeping) – result was Alarm did not ring. When I woke up, could not turn on phone. Had to press and hold power until reset… Does not support ongoing use of 3rd party chat like Whatsapp, Viber, Line = if you press close app function, and… Read more »

Lenovo has dig a hole in thousands of customers by releasing this piece of hardware. As mentioned in my original post ita a total failure, sad part is that in India there is no refund policy. Max they wud do is replace the handset that too with several conditions. I lost 15000 rs but I am happy I saved atleast 100 customers money and stopped them.from buying this phone. These 100 people actually contacted me. I hope I have saved lot more through my post.

Feeling sorry for everyone here who bought this phone. Like me you have also committed tgis mistake. I discovered all te flaws in 2 days of purchase but lenovo never gave an option of return. They have done fraud to many people by releasing this phone. False claims about the battery , camera and non functional 3g……I feel like filing a case against them. Problem is that I gifted this to my cousin whos in a diff city. Ill soon do it as I get the phone in hand.

Rahul, pls stop talking something that is not true. I bought this phone 2 weeks ago and I must say that I didn’t make mistake. I agree, this phone’s camera isn’t the best solution and choice but everything else is great. 3G, H+ modes are working without mistake. I didn’t have system problems, not a single one. Maybe there are problems in India, maybe in Africa, I can not say about that but in Europe it’s almost perfect. Hey man, you can always go to Nokia 3310.
