I bought my Lenovo Vibe P2 since November 2017 and it has been working very fine, No problems at all...I even upgraded to Android 7 Nougat and didn't encounter any issues at all..

But i notice that whenever am using wifi to download a lot of things from different websites the phones hangs a whole lot and atimes even completely freezes and i will be force restart it by pressing and holding the power button for 10 seconds...

The Super Amoled screen is gorgeous but the 32GB internal memory is a Lil bit small for me because i installed a lot of apps and hd big size games and there seems to be no way of moving apps and games to the Micro sd, the internal memory should have been 64GB...
The processor is very good too and play even heavy graphics graphics games very well...

The sound is loud, clean and clear, For premium audio quality just download,install and tweak a music player app called X player 3d, this app is the best audio player that can be found anywhere, no other app comes close to it ,but u have to tweak and tune the settings to get the best audio quality...
I installed a lot of very useful and powerful apps and very interesting HD games ,all these makes my phone very enjoyable...
My phone is like my best friend and companion because i use it for everything, i no longer have need for a laptop computer.

The battery life is very ok, i usually get about 8 hours onscreen time with my mobile data on, i get about 9 hours if am using wifi, then i get about 12 hours on screen time if my wifi, Bluetooth and mobile data is off...

If someone has a perfectly fine working unit and then some time after an issue crops up, it might make sense as issue might come up after rough use etc BUT in my case it was opposite and something that has never been seen anywhere i think. Headphones refused to work for initial 2-3 days but after that they have been working without any issue.
It is absolutely weird.

I have something to add to headphones issue as well.
I purchased Lenovo P2 for my mom and used it for about 1 week(i test out new phone for about a week myself before handing over to parents).
When i plugged in ear headphones, all i was hearing was some strange sounds, i wasn't getting any music. I tried all possible combinations, loosely connected jack, fully inserted jack but nothing helped.
Then i thought to try out the ones which came with phone itself. Even they didn't work. I assumed i got a faulty unit.
Till then i had made up the mind to get the unit exchanged. But next day suddenly when i was trying to make headphones work for the last time, they out of nowhere started working absolutely great.
I tried out with various in ear and over ear headphones and everything worked super fine.
Till date 3.5 mm jack is working absolutely fine with no issues whatsoever. But i am still not sure of why it didn't work for 2-3 days in starting and suddenly started working. There is sure something weird with about it.

Anonymous, 10 Mar 2018Got a hack today for removing air bubbles by using oil but ... moreOver the time, the liquid (cooking oil, vesaline, olive oil, etc) will dry and the bubble may re-appear...

It won't affect the screen sensitivity in general because the bubble usually appear along the bezel if we apply the screen guard / tempered glass properly, unless the tempered glass is way too small from the actual screen panel...

Having said that, most manufacturers still keeping the bezels in order to ensure screen sensitivity is not affected along the sides of the touch input / digitizer zone... we cannot get 100% bezels - less screen as of now... a vast R&D on digitizer and panel framing is needed to get 100% bezels - less screen...

AN, 09 Mar 2018Why manufacturers don't go for Android One... Does that cos... moreIt's not the cost that matters but more on freedom to innovate and gain access to our activities/privacy...

Having Android One as the platform restricted manufacturers to be innovative / creative because they are not able to introduce new features and functions to that device. Take example, the Moto Actions/Gestures like double chop to launch flashlight, wave on screen to wake, free-twist to quick launch camera, etc. The same goes to Xiaomi MIUI, Huawei EMUI, ZTE MiFavour, Asus ZenUI, Meizu Flyme, OnePlus Oxygen OS, etc.

A case study : how we take screenshot in Android One? Need to use physical button, right? Over the time, these button (or power button only in Android "P"opcorn") will malfunction soon... what about scroll / long screenshot in Android One? Have to install 3rd party apps to get this done...

Tips : we can use Google voice command to take screenshot. But in public area, are we going to say "Hey Google" all the time...? Still need to rely on physical button(s) to take screenshot...

Of course almost all of the extra features / functions can be obtained by installing 3rd part apps but as we are aware most of these 3rd party apps contains in-app purchase, advertisements, or even malware / clone ... furthermore, certain 3rd party apps may disturb the stability of the OS like energy drain, force-closed, sudden reboot, etc...

Another valid reason is to allow manufacturer to gain info to sell to "data collectors" ... believe me that all 3rd party skins like MIUI, EMUI, ZenUI, Flyme, MiFavour, Oxygen OS, etc does have tracking tools running in the background to sniff our daily activities (privacy) way more than stock Android One does...

That's why manufacturers prefer to have their in-house skins and avoid stock Android in order to differentiate amongst themselves and also to sniff our daily activities...

IndiaP2, 03 Mar 2018@azhar75: Wanted to discuss about this from too long but go... moreYou do not have a problem, your unit is fine..

Let me explain what's happening:

1) Earphones without mic have - 2 rings
Left, Right and Ground

No problem, these will work with your phone independent of your phone's internal jack config.. just the L and R audio channel may get reversed,.. but that wont affect the audio quality.

2) Earphones with Mic - 3 rings
Here is where the problem starts.. different earphone use different stands thanks to Nokia, Apple and samsung.

You will see either of the following:

L,R,M,G
Left, Right, Mic, Ground

L,R,G,M
Left, Right, Ground, Mic

or some other weird config..
................................

Your phone may not support all the configs, if you have an expensive earphone.. you can get a 3.5mm jack extender at your local shop which will hopefully have a different config at its tip which will probably be compatible with your phone..

This is also why some earphones work well with your phone while others dont...
dont worry... many brands have this issue :)

its a standardisation problem..

Anonymous, 06 Mar 2018One thing I don't understand is why you this is an occasion... moreWeather, humidity, harsh environment and how we take care of our devices will effect the durability of opened port like 3.5mm jack, micro USB charging port, speaker / mic holes, etc.

All in all, the 3.5mm jack is the one easily broken because of non-standard jack out there. Some are slightly fatter in diameter, some are slightly longer, and some have bad painting on the metal stud...the bad painting / ionization will left residue inside the internal port in long run...

Next is micro USB port which is also prone to damage if the owner harshly stab the charging cable into the port...

Anonymous, 05 Mar 2018Is it rectifiable at service center?? If the warranty is valid, go for it...

But if I were you, I'd just get Bluetooth ear/headphone...

No point sending to service centre when we have to wait for more than 2 weeks for the fix, unless there are other issues which can be fixed all at one go...
