After contemplating and religiously reading all the reviews and youtube videos on this phone, i finally bought it. I had an LG optimus one before (and before that Sendo x / Treo 650 / Treo 300 in that order). Optimus one was good but its battery life had reduced to charging twice a day with no data thro wifi / 3g usage. Replacement batteries were not available.
I bought P770 from ebay for Rs 13500. It came in the original pack with a VAT paid bill. The original packing had a user guide of about ten pages...which was totally useless (I had been searching for english user guide through net before and had not found it). The carton noted that the phone had been made in China and had a manufacturing date of March 2013. It had also a list of Service centers in India.
I had difficulty in opening the back cover since i was scared i will break it if opened wrongly (there being no user manual). When i put the battery, it showed about 30% charge and the usage counter showed 30h of usage (So the seller had probably used it for 30h). I charged the battery to full...in about 3.5h. It did not come to 100% but stayed at 99% for about 30m and hence removed the charger.
Logged in the gmail id and downloaded all the necessary stuff through wifi...no video viewing or MP3 listening or surfing. The battery lasted for 48h when it came to 15%. Single SIM with WIFi on for probably 15h/ no bluetooth or 3g.
Project butter makes things really smooth and when i looked for an update, it said mine was the current version...so no software update needed. It comes with three default screens but can be increase up to 9 at the least. (i use two screens for direct dialing frequently called contacts).
Light flow which tries to control the indicator lamp to different colors does not work. The indicator lamp has only two colors - Red for charging and solid green for charged. Slow blinking green for missed calls and missed sms. Profile manager does not work ( i tried turning on wifi for 1minute every thirty minutes).
Because there is only one physical key, it needs to be pressed each time you have to unlock and that worries me whether it will ruin it in the longer run. (The optimus had three other physical keys which when pressed will turns on the screen for swiping it open).
Some one had written about preferred wifi with which it will automatically connect, i did not find any specific option for that.
Am i satisfied? Yes. Would i have bought any other phone....may be a Nokia 720...more expensive but has better navigation without data connection and a great battery...but was not too keen for Windows os. At this price range with 1gig RAM and a large battery with Jelly Bean OS, you cannot better P770. ...Micromax, wickedleaks, Swipe all have better specifications EXCEPT battery which i guess is the most important. No use in having a Ferrari, if you cannot go anywhere reliably.
Will continue my observations. this is my payback for GSM Arena's members helping me out with their views. if anybody has any queries, i can answer it.

Hi,
I bought this phone about a month and a half back. Using it has been absolute joy - great screen, awesome battery life and great touch..Only problem is, it was working as usual till last night. This morning when I woke up, the screen was blank and it didnt turn on. I put it on charge thinking the battery might have completely drained out but even after an hour's charging, the LED won't show that the phone is getting charged (by glowing RED) and the phone hasn't turned on since.. :( Has anyone else faced similar problems? How did u deal with it? Just want to make sure before I head for the Service Center

Vishal, 07 May 2013I am so much confused between lenovo p770 and LG optimus l7... moreDOnt ever think to buy lg l7 series..
first of all lg l7 is a single core device with an unknown cpu and older gpu...
it had less ram ( 512 MB vs 1 GB of lenovo)..single sim vs dual sim and mediocre screen quality..and it always lags in performance..
just go and grab this beast of lenovo...

Almost one month since I am using this phone.
Not going in details, let me talk about few things only,
1) Touch, is awesome. I have tested it by playing different games(temple run 1 & 2, subway surf. It's very smooth.
2) Performance, 1.2 ghz processor works pretty well in terms of performance. I opened temple run and then paused it and played subway surf without any problem. Never felt like another resource hungry game is running in background.
3) Battery, after charging it to 100% I played game for 4 hours(subway surf), read pdf books(30 minute), browsing(2 hrs), 2G internet was on for about 6 hours and wifi for about 26 hours, I was sending and receiving messages on whatsapp(around 6 hours), 1.5 hours of calling, FM about 1 hr and GPS was on for about 30 minutes. And after 32 hours, when I plugged-in the charger, the battery was on 8%.
4) Camera, worked ok but needs improvements, some serious improvements.
5) GPS, I have checked its a-GPS capabilities in different geographic locations in India, works like a charm.
6) OTG, have checked it by connecting my pen drive(8gb), worked well.

AnonD-135675, 28 Apr 2013Can any owner tell me how to turn on the Hotspot feature on... morePersonal Hotspot option can be enabled from the inbuilt menu item. No need to go to wireless settings. Just go to menu and look for hotspot shortcut . In that you can enable or disable hotspot.
