The Lenovo a316i is a total piece of crap, despite doing days of research to find the best phone for the price. I bought this phone for my gf’s b-day last October and it’s been a headache ever since starting three weeks after I bought it and conveniently one week after I left the country (so she was without of a phone for three months and I had to hear about it every time we chatted).
Every month or two it gets stuck at the boot screen and won’t start no matter what you do. You can try deleting the cache or doing a hard factory reset. It won’t fix the problem or even change the symptoms in the least.
I warrantied it once and then figured out what they are doing, which is simply using the SP Flash Tool to install the factory ROM with name A316i_ROW_S034_140116. Google it.
In the last four months since I been back, I’ve had to flash it three times, every time having to hear about losing Candy Crush levels and contacts, etc. I don’t let her install anything on it either thinking it might be getting a virus. But, since I do all the installs now and since she rarely connects to the internet with it, I know that’s not the case.
I hate this POS phone with all my being. If I was made of money, I would spike it on the ground and then mail all the pieces back to Lenovo with a nice note.
I have the same problem, and I also done the hard reset on my phone. But its still hanging on the logo. I also try to reprogram it twice but again its corrupted and I can use it anymore…. 🙁
