        • Hi, first you have to make sure the data service at your sim card still work properly. Please try to use different GSM simcard with Internet service at your Lenovo Vibe X. If this problem still happen, please try to do hard reset with menu Setting because you still can use that phone.

    • Hi, some users also get the same problems after upgrade Lenovo Vibe X to Android Kitkat operating system, however, you can try to force install Google Play Store to your Lenovo Vibe X using latest Gapps Minimal from XDA community (because it will update, please find the latest one).

  • Can i restore whatsapp data from my lenova Vibe s 960 and can i sync photos .do lenova have a lenova account like samsung where we can save photos etc.

    • Hi, basically you can move all chatting history and all data from old Android to new Android, so you can find all message history and add files like images and video at new Android smartphone. First from old Android phone, you need to do backup message from Whatsapp applications > setting > chat settings > Backup conversations. After that copy the folder Whatsapp from internal memory / sdcard (depend on each phone will different). Better you use computer to copy all data from old memory to new Android phone. After you already sure all Whatsapp folder files already transfer to new Android phone, then you can install Whatsapp applications and continue register the same phone number with old one. After registration finish, then Whatsapp will tell that old backup already available, than you should choose to restore all to new Android smartphone.

    Thanks

    • Hi, by default almost all Gmail apps will get latest version. We assume that your Lenovo Vibe X also already get latest Gmail update version. To find Cc or Bcc, you have to create new mail, and at the Left Side of "To" field, you will find down ARROW, press it than you will find "Cc" and "Bcc" field bellow "To" and above "Subject".

    • Hi, we never try as many as you when transfer using bluetooth, but we suggest to compress all files first to become zip or rar (depend on your file manager), after it become one files, then please send that one big compressed file to other phone using bluetooth connection at your Lenovo Vibe X.

    My phone is not rebooting from last one day, I try to drain battery but its not working. When i start it will hang on boot screen only.
    Two months back i upgraded lenovo Vibex s960 OS to Kitkat, and from that day only i am facing lots of problem. Phone consuming battery very fast. Its giving backup of only 3 to 4 hrs and almost daily phone gets hang when i try to use built in software also. ls there any solution to start my phone without visiting to service center.

However, if you still get this problem, then nothing we can do unless have to talk or discuss with your Lenovo service center.

      • my lenovo vibex just hangs in the re boot mode for a very long time sometimes for hours.
        i even switch it off for a few minutes before resarting again but same problem.
        and do i do a full back up if i want to reformat??

        • Hi, better you try to do hard reset, since your phone sometime can go on normally, then you can try to backup first all important data at your Lenovo Vibe X. If your phone already synchronize with Gmail account, then by default all contact will be cloud backup to Google server. But you can make sure by login using other browser at computer to https://contacts.google.com and login with the same Gmail account at your Lenovo Vibe X.
