I have fixed my dropping calls issue using a newer version of the original x2 firmware from 28 June. Not dropped once since flashing now my x2 1.5ghz 2/32 is working perfect can upload ROM if someone wants it
[Android General] BHARDIK:
new version already out from umi china itself check needrom.com for base update rom of 17-07-2013 in that rom camera improved much n better n smooth ui also gpu improved too:thumbup::cool:
[Android General] chronic8000:
Thanks I got the UPDATE_UMI-X2-THB-ROM-based_on_Official_170713 rom now seems the same, tried GPS and never got a lock but not too fussed about that HSDPA is now constant and that was the only thing really annoying me. Battery life seems much improved now too.

Also anyone else encountering spam SMS from the Umi X2? Any way to find out what is causing it and root remove it?
[Android General] HicarusBR:
the disponibility is a ****...
[Android General] chronic8000:
Eh? :confused:
[Android General] tommy34:
I made this ROM. spam should not be there i removed it. Try a factory reset.

If GPS is nog working try a agsp reset from the location engineering mode.
[Android General] chronic8000:
OK Thanks, SMS Spam may have been left over from previous rom, I not had any more since :)

Am testing out GPS now thanks.

EDIT: GPS is working now and has lock on multiple satellites :)
[Android General] Vilken:
Thanks a lot tatsel74!

The discount is working now, but what I don't see/understand: what are the differences between those two different SKUs?

MP0420W and MP0420BS

I thought the difference was coming from the color (white or black), but even with the MP0420BS SKU you can choose the white color and the discount code works anyway.

I don't see any differences in terms of specs.

:confused::confused:
[Android General] chronic8000:
Made a community page for users of the X2 if anyone is interested. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Umi-X2-1080p-Android-Phone-User-Group/572387056135889
[Android General] tatsel74:
the only difference I noticed is that the other one includes a case for free, Antelife confirmed there is stock and my package will ship this week.

damn I hate to wait....
[Android General] Vilken:
Did you got the confirmation from antelife that this smartphone is WCDMA 900 compliant? I sent them an email but have not received an answer...

They specified wcdma 850 (and not 900) but I've seen in other websites wcdma 900...

I'm waiting for this information before to order :(
[Android General] tatsel74:
Sorry but I am from Mexico, my carrier here uses 850, so I did not ask for 900. As far as I know you can select 850 or 900 bands inside "engineer mode".

Some one else with the same phone from Mexico confirmed 3g is working very well with the 850 band, so I placed my order.
[Android General] chronic8000:
If you check a couple of posts back i posted 2 links to google+ with pictures of the basebands the x2 turbo supports taken from mobileuncle tools

EDIT: here they are it is the ones not greyed out:

Sim 1 - https://plus.google.com/u/0/11208231...ts/ZrFaC5sJaGr

Sim 2 - https://plus.google.com/u/0/11208231...ts/iaCURd6XVXH

Just ignore the ticks it is all the ones in white that are supported
[Android General] Vilken:
404 error :(
[Android General] chronic8000:
Sorry dont know why that is here they are:

As I said before it is the ones in white the ones in grey are not supported and the ones that don't have ticks next to them was just me disabling them trying to fix the dropping signal issue that flashing a new rom sorted out.

Sim 1

Sim 2

Great news :)

So it's the Umi X2

Turbo

, right? Not the X2 version?

Thank you chronic ;)
[Android General] chronic8000:
No probs yes its the mtk6589t 1.5ghz 2gb ram 32gb ROM model.

My next question is can anyone work out how to increase the size of the system app internal partition it uses to install apps to? 1.5gb is awful small for a phone with a 32gb ROM. There must be a way of increasing it? I tried looking and couldn't find any good solutions online.
[Android General] Comp1demon:
analife seems to only have 1g 16gb version.

The code does not work anymore.

OH well.. i really wanted a x2 turbo with 2/32
[Android General] Vilken:
I confirm that the discount code is still working with the following SKU: MP0420BS.You can select the white color if you want

But you're right it's the 1GB/16GB version but that's fine for me, for now the antutu performance test I've seen on the 2GB/32GB version was not amazing compared to the other version.
[Android General] chronic8000:
I got 14251 on Antutu with 2/32 turbo
[Android General] Vilken:
And on gizchina, they speak about 14525 Antutu score for the 1/16 Turbo version :

http://www.gizchina.com/2013/05/10/...ks-published-our-first-look-at-mt6589t-power/
[Android General] chronic8000:
Hmm not sure how they got that score then most i had is 14451 on an older firmware
[Android General] chronic8000:
Version of handset I have not seen before, 1.2Ghz non turbo cpu but 2gb of ram? Must be the 1.5Ghz cpu's are hard to come by but 2gb of ram isn't.
[Android General] Batfink33:
I got my Umi x2 Turbo 1gb/16gb from Antelife delivered in 7 days. It's a great phone, very sturdy and we'll made. I've got no issues with it at all except it's only got 1gb of Ram. I may buy the 2gb version and sell the 1gb on Ebay.
[Android General] tatsel74:
Did you choose DHL? Where are you from? Could you please tell us about the wcdma bands, maybe your antutu benchmark...

thank you and enjoy your phone!
[Android General] chronic8000:
Yeah I don't know how you can survive on 1GB of RAM any more. On the 2gb version I constantly have less than 1GB free, which is weird with the same apps running in the background I don't know why on a 2GB phone I use so much more than on a 1GB RAM phone I had 300Mb free?
[Android General] tatsel74:
I suppose android caches accordingly to the avaible ram, always leaving a free margin for new apps to load.
[Android General] Batfink33:
Strange, I always have around 200mb free on my 1gb.

I've just bought a Thl W8s 32/2gb. Looks like it's 12.9mm thick which isn't great, I like the Umi X2 s thinness so I'll see which I prefer when it comes. Good thing is I'm never down on these phones as they're so cheap and go for quite a lot on Ebay.

Ps. Yes I use DHL and it usually arrives in UK 2-3daus after posting.
[Android General] chronic8000:
I wasn't being exact there sometimes i had 45mb free on my old 1gb galaxy s2. :laugh:
[Android General] Vilken:
I was really interested by the 1/16GB version but I'm a little worried by chronic comments…Is it really something that could be annoying from your point of view (e.g: lags)?
[Android General] Batfink33:
I have no problems with it. I bought a Zoppo C2 and Umi x2 at the same time. I gave the C2 to my wife as I prefer the Umi. Only problem i have is the 1gb of ram not being enough. Apart from that, I love it.
[Android General] Vilken:
That is the thing I'm worried about :) The lack of ram...

But when you say "not being enough" you mean you have some lags/problems of latency?

Thank you
[Android General] Batfink33:
No, I don't have lags I just want a phone that will last me 2 years. With Kie Lime Pie out soon, I want to make sure I have enough Ram to last.
[Android General] chronic8000:
So glad I found a 2gb version from what you guys are saying I purposely held out and found a turbo version on aliexpress spoke to this Chinese person using alibaba's dodgy clone of msn and she sent it on Monday by dhl express was here in 3 days to uk. I found the June ROM to be better than the July ROM so far and I am still having some issues with baseband and network drops but it is better with June ROM. Found I do a battery pull and network comes back and it only seems to be 1 of my 2 networks that drops.
[Android General] Batfink33:
How did you pay with Alliexpress? Every rime I try to pay with my debit card it fails saying there is a security problem? Ps what do you make of the build quality? The closer I look at the X2 I find it quite poor, gaps around the screen etc.
[Android General] chronic8000:
Build quality seems fine to me. Had a problem with networks but I sorted it out now and everything is fine. I paid with a friends Visa Debit. Maybe try a different card.

Looking to flash this somehow but Windows 8 won't let me use unsigned drivers for the Umi so I cant use the sp flash tool to increase my internal storage to 5GB for apps.

These are the files found on a Chinese forum for anyone brave running Windows 7 or earlier.

[Android General] S4X:
Asking again anyone in US: Got 3G ?

How about GPS? Is it still slow connecting? Not again....That same damn problems were with Samsung in 2010.

When do you drive do you need to put the phone all the way under the windshield for not to lose the signal?

Asking all others: When you shop on Alibaba you get a lot of promotional emails with offers of brand phones like Samsung SGS3/4, Note2, Apple iPhone5 etc etc etc for $200-250 and sometimes $150 and even $95. Was anyone brave enough to order ?

Do anyone else have disconnection problem too?
[Android General] Deturk:
GPS of umi X2 is weak this is a hardware issue,depending on the weather, in the rain or cloudy, the GPS signal is poor

Thanks

hardy
[Android General] Deturk:

I saw some video about the gps fix, till for me is the best solution update AGPS and cold&full settings in YGPS. But still sometimes i can't get any fix, hope that umi will come with antenna replacing solution.

Hi guys,

I live in Poland and here is 1 mobile operator (aero2) which provide 3G only at 900Mhz. My friend has buyed this phone cse of that. He have WCDMA 900/2100Mhz writed on phone box but he said that this band 900Mhz is not working on this phone. It works fine for him with ZTE 987. Few other pepoles reporting same problem with UMI X2. So it looks like UMI X2 is only WCDMA 2100 or 850/2100 phone and does not support 3g 900Mhz at all.

Can somone of you please tell me what score has 1,5Ghz (1 or 2 GB Ram) version of this phone on Nenamark 2.4 ? (I know that 1,2 Ghz version has only 28fps on Nenamark 2.4).

Good News for US

Got the info from one guy in NY that he gets 8 mbps down on AT&T. With Tmobile SIM the speed is still GPRS, 40 times slower, as it should be since 1700/2100 pair simultaneously is not supported

Curious which hardware defines operating frequencies ? Are they software changeable on engineering level?
[Android General] cascade128:
Yes, the problem is solved. IMEI is ok.

Thank you very much for everything:fingers-crossed:

Hello,

I have the same phone and I have also the same problem

What can we do for that? It's software or hardware problem? Any ideas for solving this wifi issue?
[Android General] chronic8000:
No idea, I am not sure if it is hardware or software to be honest. It could be a dodgy aerial but since I am 3 meters away in line of sight of the AP I very much doubt it.

Please, help get my root back! (not a simple case!)

I accidentally have unrooted my UMI X2

Pay attention: I did it with tool from Google market called RootAppDelete. With this tool I've "disabled" application "Permission Manager" (as I understand now it is kind a Superuser app?). From then on, I lost my root, or at least device behaves like this :(

And I stuck. What is my options to take my root back?

Please help or point to someone who can help! Thanks in advance.

NB: Tried:

Shuame root - haven't success :(

Method suggested by UMI itself didn't help. It just writes "[-] Failure" after step of installing SuperUser.apk.

Please, help!
