    • Hi, in normal conditions, your Lenovo Vibe Shot will only need less then 5 minutes to finish the hard reset or reformat to factory default. But this situations will not happen correctly when you have rooted your Lenovo Vibe Shot, because there are some other non standard possibilities. However, you can try again to hard reset your phone and please do not login with any account, then try gain to use with default applications. What happen with the speed? If you get faster access after use about 1 hour, then continue to sign with new Google account, because maybe your previous Google account cloud backup have bad backup files, so it will restore again to your Lenovo Vibe Shot when you login with the same old Gmail account.

    • Hi, first you have to make sure your simcard work with 3G / 4G. You can try to test at different Android smartphone just to make sure your simcard can work with 3G or 4G. If your simcard can work with 3G or 4G at other smartphone, then maybe the APN setting on your Lenovo Z90-7 is not correct. You have to discuss your phone network provider to set the correct APN for make the 3G or 4G work properly.
