I think I've come across a way to use two WhatsApp accounts and it involves titanium backup being rooted and having busybox installed. Will search for a tut on it & drop here for us.

Here is a tut I found on xda http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2346022

Thanks @willyfrench - I have configured both sim cards to run whatsapp on the same device @ the same time (never say never).

Well said RED BULL. My two cents:

it means you presently have two whatsapp accounts, each tied to a different phone number/sim and one on each phone. But you can only use one whatsapp account on a phone at a time, so you will have to make a choice between the two accounts.

I understand there are various 3rd party apps that claim to be able to solve your problem but you stand a risk of being blocked (see http://www.whatsapp.com/faq/general/21009863) and i don't think it's worth it.

Thought to add this conversation, so people understand the history of my point.

Front 1.2 - Rear 8.0

Obviously the front is not the best, but manageable for video calls, but the rear is another story !!!!!

NB: Front mp defers from online review specifications but after an Antutu Benchmark test on my physical device, it states 1.2

One flaw I seem to have realised with this Lenovo P780, is that the WiFi signal is not as strong when you are not in close proximity of your router.
On all my previous devices, my WiFi connection around my house is quiet strong. But on this lenovo, if I am downstairs (router location), signal is very strong, but if I move upstairs, I seem to have fluctuations of none or one wifi signal bar.
NB: Seems a common issue. Because its widely talked about on lenovo P780 user review sites.

Cold blooded: how does d app work abeg?

Once you download, it organises all your email accounts and social networking accounts in one very neat hub.
Also when you send emails, it gives you a device + GPS tagging, once email is read.
Let's just call this app your unpaid secretary !!!

Well deserved attention cool . Yea I rooted mine, what's the point having an android device if not to maximize its potential wink. Sadly its only got 3G on sim 1 but that isn't an issue cos you can simply toggle on airplane mode and interchange the sims without turning off the phone. Lenovo ought to have made both slots 3G capable tho. Sense them no get! LoL.

please can u carefully explain how u rooted urs
Re: Lenovo P780 Smartphone by willyfrench(m): 12:01am On Jan 10, 2014
My apologies for going MIA. Been a busy week.

Back to my list above, get the Xposed Installer from here >> http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer
Note: You must be rooted to be able to use the Xposed framework.

Now the Gravitybox module is gotten within the Xposed framework installed with instructions above. Gravitybox is quite useful if you would like to mod the stock ROM that came with our fone instead of having to flash a custom ROM e.g removing 3G/G icon from statusbar (I personally hate those icons a great deal), changing your battery icon, switching clock position to center instead of rightside of status bar etc.

Now other recommend apps continued...

5. MyFont - font changer app freely available in playstore
6. Nova launcher - paid app but available freely online >> http://vk.com/doc224895657_249252208?hash=ae3b5af8548c9bbbb0&dl=1af4f3f134d...
7. Flatro - icon customization app freely available in playstore I think. Will confirm. edited: Paid app get it here >> >> http://http:///1hwlxYT
8. RamExpander - paid app but available freely online - http://vk.com/doc224895657_258326664?hash=ffa50a06780949934a&dl=2bd3ad95680...
9. USSD to Notification - push message receiver freely available in playstore
10. Lucky Patcher - useful app for removing license verification of some apps >> http://vk.com/doc224895657_256231344?hash=9a60ebc87cdf252ccf&dl=570d96e1312...

You are right. I barely noticed it tho. I expect Lenovo to improve on this flaw with the next P-series device.

Wow !!! I bought mine rooted and playstore already installed.
When I was buying, this are the 4 factors I insisted on
(1) Phone must be rooted
(2) Play store installed
(3) Must have ROW rom
(4) And WiFi must be thoroughly tested (this aspect was probably not done, cos WiFi signal is very very poor if I am not in close proximity of my router)
