Hi, if your phone running slow after run in some period of time, then we suspect your trouble come from the applications. Some user have problem to find which applications that make this problems. But you can try to find out first from Menu Setting > Apps > Downloaded. If you can not find that applications either, then you should consider to do hard reset or master format to make your applications back to default again. Try to run test for ensure that the speed already back to faster again using default applications. Hard reset also recommended to do after we do update for firmware at our Lenovo S820, especially when we feel the phone not working properly after doing update.

I just bought lenovo s820 and satisfied with the quality of the camera.. But there is one problem.. When taking video, there is no problem if took it without moving.. But if I want to move to the left and to the right, the video stops for awhile.. That makes the video not smooth and seems like there is some transition going on.. Is there any solution how to make the video smooth ? For more detail, check this youtube video.. It is 100% the same.. Please help me admin ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4v8utHH0JI
Hi, this problem seems because the LENOVO S820 video recording bitrate is not too high. Therefore you can not move to fast while recording video using this camera. This situations not only happen at Lenovo S820 camera, but will happen to some brands when the minimum specification can not fit to video recording. As we know phone camera only suitable for support our daily activity while we are not bring real camera or video recording, but if you really need good camera or video recording result, then you need to consider buy or use real dedicated camera or video gadgets.

Hi, can you tell us how you flash your Lenovo S820. Basically the factory default upgrade from Lenovo comes from OTA (Over The Air) update for fix some bug at the operating system.

So, you need to try or ask some help from that community if some trouble happen within the steps.

Unfortunately the microSD external card only can use to save some other files like camera (after change the options), downloaded files and other external data like movie or music or pictures copy from other sources.

Hi, have you ever to install any 3th party home launcher? If yes, please uninstall it first. Sometime wrong setting with additional home launcher will can make navigation button not work properly. You also uninstall some other 3th party tweak applications. If you home button still can not work, then you have to do hard reset or reformat, but this steps will make your important data and installed applications wipe or remove. After hard reset your Lenovo S820, you have to re-setup again from beginning including install important applications that you need to use.
I also have a lenovo s820
Updated to kitkat
And then suddenly the back key, home key,option key does not work
At first it will work. But for atleast 30minutes it will not. But the screen ia working fine. Only the keys. I have to remove the battery and turn it on again to work. But it still does do the same thing. Ive done hard reset and the normal reset from the settings. But still the same. I dont have any launchers. There is an update ony phobe also and after it was completely downloaded and reboot to be installed it will just appear error in the middle.
Hi, perhaps you have cloud backups for previous setting. Please try to do hard reset again until your Lenovo S820 phone back to factory default setting with default applications. After start again from beginning, please do not login to any Google account, because at some case, this steps will restore back all cloud back setting include installed applications back to your Lenovo S820 and old previous apps will not compatible with latest updated firmware or operating system. Please wait, if after several time your phone work normal, then maybe you already get the solutions. Just try to login again, but please choose do not restore or backup anything from Google account.
You also can try to download any 3th party launcher like ADW Launcher or something similar like that, these apps are free download from Google Play Store, hopefully this is also can solved your problems.
Hi. I have a lenovi 820 s but from some days i cannot install apps cause it gives an error. Not enough space. It has a lot of space on both internal and sd card. Please help me with a reply
Hi, it seems that your internal memory system files maybe already full, because as we know the internal memory for Lenovo S820 is very limited. Please try to reset data for Facebook or Tweeter or uninstall some applications, then try to install other applications. If everything work, then you need to uninstall not use applications to give more free space at your internal memory system files.
I had my lenovo S820. The problem is that my front camera had stopped working from long time. Tried all updates on the phone but of no use. Can anybody resolve the said issue of mine.
Hi, first you can try to download 3th party camera applications from Google Play Store for test weather this problems come from hardware or software. If your front camera still not work properly then the other alternative if doing hard reset or master format using steps above. Please backup all important data before doing hard reset, because all data will be wipe or remove after doing hard reset. If this problems come from software or firmware, doing hard reset will reinstall clean factory default Android operating system at your Lenovo S820, and hopefully your front camera can work again. If you still can not use front camera after doing hard reset, then you front camera must be broken and have to fix at Lenovo authorize service center.

Hi, as far as we know that Lenovo S820 can work at GSM network with frequency 900 Mhz or 1800 Mhz or 1900 Mhz, therefore for your Celcom GSM card which use 900 Mhz and 1800 Mhz should work normally.

You can also try to hard reset or reformat your Lenovo S820 to reset all setting at factory default.
