Hi all, I just bought the Lenovo Tab M10 FHD Plus (TB-X606F) and read about the widevine L3 problem. It's been a problem since day 1 the tablet was released. It seems like there was firmware updates last year that solved the problem, changing widevine from L1 to L3 and finally users can watch HD quality on Netflix and other streaming platforms? Can any current users or Lenovo confirm that it is true and it is possible to watch HD with this device on netflix/prime/hbo/disney now? If not I'll need to return it, I haven't open and use the tablet yet.
Why don't you ask the support directly from the manufacturer???

Well I did. No harm asking on different platforms right? Since I am also searching for alternative solution to the isssue.

I know, I know, there's little hope for mirroring our nexus 7's but the mirroring technology is available via Medialink HD. As far as i know, the HTC One series are the only brand of phones able to mirror without using miracast. Can anybody clarify as to if it is a software enabled thing or hardware? Because if it is software, maybe we can somehow frankenstein it into our nexus 7 to mirror it that way?
It may just be hopeful thinking, but thought I'd just throw it up there.
Sorry if there is already a thread on this.
Hi,
I recently bought an Asus Zenpad Z300C.
Apart from not feeling a strong performance improvement from my previous Asus MemoPad the most annoying issue is that the android-standard multiuser manager seems to be disabled.
The local technical support guys replied a very client-unfriendly: "device does not support that function". Even after told that the previous generation MemoPad had it supported...
If you own this device please complain through Asus support if you feel that they are removing basic functions from the core OS as I do.
If you are thinking in acquring one, beware of the fact that you will not be able to share the device with your family or guests in an sensible way.
I read this post explaining a workaround for a similar problem in other device,
http://dev-viraj.blogspot.com.es/2015/02/enable-multi-user-setting-in-lollipop.html
it could be tested only if the Z300C can be rooted, but currently seems not clear how to do it... see link below

I've rooted my Zenpad 10 using this guide.

I haven' t understand it, can you explain it, please?
Hey guys, I have a very specific question that I was hoping someone here would know the answer to, and have some advice for.
I bought a Verizon Motorola E4 from Walmart for the sole purpose of being a secondary device to play Pokemon Go.
It actually plays quite well - very adequate performance, plus remarkable battery life.
However, there is one major problem, and that is the Bluetooth functionality seems to be completely broken.
Because of this, it's impossible to connect a Pokemon Go Plus to the phone.
I'm a new user, so I'm unable to post a link, but there are many threads about this on the official Lenovo forum.
If you Google "motorola e4 pokemon go plus", the top link should be one of them.
After many months, Lenovo has done absolutely nothing to address the issue.
So now I'm here to ask whether there might be any alternative options.
Would flashing a third party ROM potentially fix the Bluetooth issues?
Does anyone here play Pokemon Go on a Motorola E4 on a third party ROM?
Does anyone here play Pokemon Go on a Motorola E4 with a Pokemon Go Plus on a third party ROM?
Thanks in advance!

No custom ROMs for this pup (XT1767) as device/rom can not be rooted or unlocked.

Also, it looks like Pokemon go plus isn't just Bluetooth, it's BLE (Bluetooth low energy). Very different. Don't think this device is capable. It also doesn't have NFC.
This phone's Bluetooth is not broken at all, you're just trying to use a feature it doesn't have.
Thanks for the replies... appreciate it.

This was certainly interesting, as I knew nothing about BLE.
However, it seems like the Motorola E4 should have LE though?
It's listed on the gsmarena page on both the regular and USA versions.
I guess this would take me by surprise as even much older phones like a Samsung Note 2 is capable of pairing with a Pokemon Go Plus.

It has Bluetooth 4.0 which actually should be capable of BLE, so I may have been wrong. I know for sure it doesn't have NFC, so maybe the Pokemon go plus uses that as well as BLE.
Because the e4 has good Bluetooth function for everything I've thrown at it.
Hello there
I have been searching around to buy a tablet mostly for home use,my wife is going to be using it most of the times for some googling,emails ,pdf etc. I found a really good deal in a refurbished android version yoga book but I'm not that sure if it's worth nowadays since as I have read it only updated to android 7. Is she going to have issues with some apps like Facebook,insta, netflix?
Thank you in advance
I have this unit for 3 years now and it’s still working.
From the beginning it had problems, for example it shuts down and reboot from time to time, when you want to cast something it freezes and some apps don’t work anymore. For googling and emails I don’t have any problem.
Would I recommend a Lenovo unit? I won’t, because they never given updates or solved the software problems.
I have a yoga book and my co-worker’s have an Android pro tablet from Lenovo and they also never received a update. The hardware is good but you never get an update even not a security update. I hope it help with your decision.
Greetings

Those, probably not, but I can't get modern casual games like merge dragons to run on the stupid thing. So if she plays that kind of game, it might not be the way to go.
As i am enthusiast on modding stuff, i like my hardware open to custom stuff. While the lenovo is not closed (you can unlock the bootloader) we had a dead scene. So i would not recommend this piece of hardware. In XDA your better strategy is to search on for devices that the community is alive AKA: popular devices and brands, like Samsung or Sony. Cause even if the moto maxx was spec wise MUCH better than the Xperia Z3 on paper, we had a different story here, the xperia comunity was skyrocketing and doing great where the moto maxx was a zombie device at its best.
TL : DR If you don't need to debloat it or do anything special to it its kinda of a solid device .
hi , i have an advent tegra note 7 tablet ( tegranote-P1640). for some strange reason it wont even ask me to update to the lolipop. it has andriod 4.4.2 on it and it says that the system is up to date. but i see alot of guys saying that they received the 5.1 update. i think the tablet is from uk. i see that it has superu on it and i installed a root checker and it said that it was rooted. i was wondering if i could manually upgrade this to 5.1 and whats the process and where to get the rom files etc? thanks
I just got one of these. It was new in the box and being an Nvidia fan , I simply had to . I have read that Lollipop was really bad on this device . This thing has a better battery than my K1 Tablet and if I can get it up to Lollipop I can run Nvidia games on it and kinda have a shield tablet again . If anyone can help by providing TWRP and the OTA for the Advent Vega Note 7 it would be awesome !
Update :
I got this upgraded to 5.1 this evening lol . It was quite an undertaking as it's an old device now and most resources are dated. Big thanks to Root Junky ( if you are reading this ) I am going to play around with this some more , see if I can get it up to 6.0 Linenage or similar . It's a nice little tablet and a nice edition to my Nvidia collection .
Good tablet but held back by 1gb ram. If only it had 2gb ram this thing would still hold its own today

Yep , It's amazing how well built Nvidia devices where . My Shield portable is actually more impressive than my K1 Tablet even though it's not as powerful .

Hey moonhop, all of the original links to RootJunky files seem to be broken - I have an unlocked bootloader and am trying to upgrade to 5.1, but OTA updates dont seem to be working anymore, any chance you could upload the files/provide instructions please? Many thanks.
In such cases, I downloaded the firmware and installed it manually.

Wish I'd never installed 5.1 :-(
Was an ace tablet, not anymore. Have had a go at sorting it then tried factory reset. No luck, takes age to boot then again to open any app. Got hold of another tablet now & just cant be bothered to attempt to root it yet again.
In future will not update ANYTHING until I see on the forums its safe to do so.

Yeah , it's too bad that L runs so poorly on this . Nvidia is probably one of the best companies I've seen for legacy support - I'm suprised they did not resolve the issues like they did with the K1 , and portable . This tablet could be salvaged with a decent rom despite having 1 GB of ram . Today I actually started it up and nothing ran on KitKat . This tablet is easily as good as the Nexus 7 2013 - which despite it's still runs and looks beautiful!
Well I'll be ........#@%&!

Glad to hear you were able to recover this. I would really like to see a Linenage build for these despite the low ram as the battery is still pretty good and the Tegra chip can still handle some older games. These devices also still have pretty good speakers. Google is still supporting KitKat but the clock is ticking. So many great Nvidia builds that are starting to become obsolete, I hope some developers can revisit some of these.
Talking of needing a decent size sd card, just discovered the 64Gb one in my 'Googlyfied' Amazon Fire 9 a dead'un.... so that'll be x2 I'll need. Wonder if SanDisk will make good on its warranty?
