Is anyone having trouble with the 3.06 cutting off the phone call when you go to hold the phone up to your ear? Works fine on speaker, so presumably its a proximity sensor issue?

Cheers,

Hi, where can I find this "no reboot" rom from umi drive you are talking about?

Thanks!!!!
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] thepopos:
I can't seem to find their onedrive site any more.

If you send them a private message on Facebook they will give you the ROM and the PC Tool to flash it.
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] vjeta:
Thank you... the problem is that I don't have a Facebook account.

Could you please upload it somewhere??
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] bodyjoao:
can please upload the umitools ?????
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] thepopos:
I'll upload the ROM and the PC Tool when I get home tonight. I don't have them on my work PC.
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] vjeta:
thanks!!!!!!

I can stand any more the reboots on 3.06!!!!

is this problem really solved in this version???
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] thepopos:
It's not rebooted for me once with this ROM but I've only been using it for about a week.

Some people have never seen a reboot on the old ROMs so it's hard for me to say if it's fixed as I might have a lucky phone :D

My phone came with 3.05 on it which I used for just over a day. I did see one random reboot whilst using that ROM.

I should also say that I'm not a very heavy user. I mostly use the phone for email, IM and web. I don't play any 3D games or anything like that.
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] bodyjoao:
I have instaled the umi zero tools and it is perfect, now on download options apears one rom v3.09 , anyone have this rom ??????

I wonder why they've skipped from 3.06 to 3.09.

PC Tool: https://www.dropbox.com/s/kz6tkthlzvw9vqj/PC Tool.rar?dl=0

I installed the ROM using the PC Tool but I presume you can do it from recovery.

Use at your own risk etc. etc...
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] bodyjoao:
hi guy, can you say where did you find this rom ...

and you can put it on another server ... this is too slow ..... mega ...

?????
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] vjeta:
thank you very much!

So this anti-reboot.zip version is some kind of beta rom from umi??
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] thepopos:
It's from the Umi Zero Microsoft Onedrive site.

I can't find the link for it any more unfortunately.

I'm not registered with any other server. I've normally found Dropbox to be very good.
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] thepopos:
Yes. It shows as 3.06 in 'about' so presume it's a small tweak of that.
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] bodyjoao:
No stress, it was just to know, you have already installed the rom was like a ota upgrade, or was a clean instalation, ie cleared all you had, app, messages, all ...

thanks for sharing ...

Now the dawnload going well ... spent 3 hours to 8 minutes ... better loll ...

[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] thepopos:
I just used the PC Tool to install which I think acts as a clean installation.

It has its own back-up tool that it asks you to use which backs-up your apps, call data etc... (but not system or boot.img) but you can ignore it if you want. If you choose to back-up apps it will then sideload them onto your device when you select to restore them. It appears the restores can be applied to any ROM.
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] bodyjoao:
I will do flash now and see what happens .... like you to give this to her ... comes with root .. okay ...
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] vjeta:
post your comments when finished, please...

I don't want to do a clean install if possible, very lazy to restore all apps...
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] s7yler:
The aperture has nothing to do with that. It depends on the chipset used inside the phone.

The OnePlus One is using the Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 chipset (that supports 4K recording), the UMI ZERO just the Mediatek MTK6592T. Things like 4K recording is not supported by the Mediatek chipset inside the UMI ZERO. (4K recording should be supported in the upcomming Mediatek 6595 chipset.)

If you want 4K recording you will need (for now) to get a phone with Snapdragon 801 chipset. For example the Xiaomi Mi4 also has the Snapdragon 801 chipset and can do 4K recordings.
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] cybershifting:
Hi, fellows! please, share your impressions about the phone! how it feels? How it works? Is it good as all-in-one device for every day use: making calls, surfing net, few games for an hour, earphones sound, sometimes maps/gps? :rolleyes: Maybe you have any thoughts about UMI brand? Can we trust it and say that phone is reliable
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] kovalski1979:

Anyone Received UMI Zero ?

Till now I dont find anyone who received this mobile. Eagerly waiting for the reviews from them. Please post your feedback on it.
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] s7yler:
For your info about the sensors

Air Gestures: Yes, but you need to get close to the sensor

Google Cardboard works: Yes

Gyroscope built-in: Yes (see also http://peecee.dk/uploads/122014/Screenshot_2014-12-02-09-36-40_big_thumb.png)

Photosphere works correct: Yes

Google Cardboard seems not to work with many china phones, so its good to see that it actually works with the UMI ZERO.
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] kariolmax:
Can you give me please download link for drivers to our UMi Zero for WINDOWS 8.1. These from OneDrive are not working on Windows 8.1. Thank you!
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] thepopos:
This is the only other thing I downloaded from the onedrive:

PdaNetA4170: https://www.dropbox.com/s/8jf2cev8v3jjl1s/PdaNetA4170.rar?dl=0

I presume that's what you need as I'm on 8.1 and didn't install anything else.
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] bodyjoao:
Installation is very easy via tools, but rather makes a backup of applications, messages, contacts, after installation, 5 minutes max, do yourself a restore in the same application (umitools) and voila, all impec .... .aplicações, contacts, messages, all installed as before nothing is lost ..... except the whatsapp have to make a backup before ...

What is your rom? I can't flash anything on my MIUI 6 from Arcatarc by UMI Tool
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] vjeta:
Have anyone tryed to rename this "anti-reboot.zip" to "ota-update.zip" and see if it works from system update??

I think I'll try this first!
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] bodyjoao:
no doesn´t work....only recovery....ou tools....

---------- Post added at 08:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:25 PM ----------

#Kariolmax, you place the rom on the card or the phone's internal memory and instalas via recovery with rashr application, u can use the umitools option, I was in the #arcaratac and all working well ... the umi tool is show the ball , very well made ...
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] vjeta:
I tried the rename method and its definetly working, now I have updated kernel from 26/2 on this 3.06 !!!!

without wipes!!!!
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] kariolmax:
I can Flash by recovery. It works fine but Im talking about flashing via Umi Tool. I've got message that my device is not supported. Im using miui with TWRP recovery.
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] reisamm:
Well, I have 2 UMI's available and I flash it 2 diferent ways, 1st one with RootJoy from UMI, apps and personal info restored with the provided tool but not the home screen widgets placement and configuration, etc... So, the second I updated via flash tool, and restored the apps, personal data and home screen by flashing just system (android) and data (personal info, etc) from a TWRP backup... worked like a charm, all the same just the updated Kernel :)

And indeed with the new ROM and Kernel no more reboots (had 2,3 a day normally), but... err... Did anyone notice that the new Kernel just drops down the CPU speed to 1.66 instead of 2Ghz. Is this the way UMI solves the reboots?

Also, the ZERO does not have Tap on screen to wake... but... in TWRP when the screen goes off it only turns on tapping on it... it's not the moving sensors or the proximity sensor. is there any similar software around to do the same thing (not to wake with other sensors than tapping on screen)?
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] arcatarc:
Don't worry my friends,next update will be compatibile with UmiTools ;) ........
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] kariolmax:
Please tell me why it's not compatible. What about Polish language ? :(
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] arcatarc:
..probably the tool check some files to verify it is a genuine Umi Zero(in build.prop or kernel i suppose).

About polish MIUmI i'm working on a way to release a "real" multilanguage version..
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] vjeta:
You are right!!!

with the latest 3.06 update (no-reboot update) kernel works at 1.66ghz only!!! I noticed that everything (especially the internet navigator) was slugish, but I thought that new rom was settling down!

No!!! it's the speed of the cpu with this kernel....

wtf umi !!!!! we paid for a 2Ghz octacore cpu!!!!!!!!

If this is the way umi solves bugs, I think I will sell this piece of ****.
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] arcatarc:
...just for testing...try if it work installing the driver you find inside this :

---------- Post added at 11:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:55 PM ----------

I respect your point of view...but i know lot of peoples with 600€ devices with bigger problems...(weak signal,constant reboots,slow devices,and overall no consideration for consumers)Umi is always present and trying to solve problems..

---------- Post added at 11:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:04 PM ----------

In twrp is different behaviour..screen wake up because it is not in deep-sleep (only backlight off)for real tap to wake you need to implement it on kernel but to be honest is not a so smart features because touch screen need to be always active and thus battery eater..
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] reisamm:
Remember this is not an oficial ROM (you did not got it as an UMI official update), should still be a beta testing one... we should wait.

:good: thanks arcatarc for the info :good:

Meanwhile UMI just released a new RootJoy version on their site, and a 3.09 update with the right size (395.1Mb the previous was 5x.Mb i think)... checking it out ;)
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] thepopos:
Installed 3.09 tonight.

A couple of things I've noticed:

New kernal - now shows cores @ 2ghz ('anti reboot' reboot one was 1.66ghz)

You can disable 3 finger screenshots!

Installing it via the PC Tool wipes everything (recovery etc...)

I've been using it for 3 hours and not had any issues so far. Hopefully it's as stable as the 'anti reboot' ROM.

You can't install 3.09 from the pre-release PC Tool kit. You need to download the release version (ROOTJOY) from their website: http://umidigi.com/rom/tool.html
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] kariolmax:
[MENTION=516740]arcatarc[/MENTION] Past instaling HiSuite with drivers still nothing...
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] clubvibe:
Firmware 1.09 seems to be out. Download the new Umi tool and hit download http://umidigi.com/rom/tool.html
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] reisamm:
Ok, I did not had many reboots (2, 3 a day like I said before) but since I installed the new ROM had none… so far so good ;)

Some people at the UMI fórum are reporting that the SmartCover stops working, that issue also happen to me! I tought it was because I did not make a full wipe and installed it over the 3.06 version (need some time to resconstruct my home pages from scratch).

How did I solve it:

– I made a TWRP backup of the new ROM.

– Restored (via TWRP) the old backup from the 3.06 version.

– Restored only the ‘System’ (Android) from the 3.09 backup.

Done, smartcover working again and with the 3.09 version, but later with more time I plan to do a full wipe and reinstall the ROM.

Also, UMI says it as a new sound app (EQNaxx), does anyone see it?

Cheers

hello guys, i just recieved my umi zero yesterday and everything is fine and great except the battery, it just drains soo fast!:( , for example, i downloaded subway surfer( not really like it just for test) and run it and in like less than a minute of playing it , the battery went from 80% to 71% !!! thats just crazy, and i can see like when you are using the phone, even only unlocking it and leave it, the battery goes down about 1% each minute, is this issue normal? is there anything i can do? also, i tried to flash my device with rootjoy from umi to V3.09 but at the end it errors and said please root your device with vroot,,

appreciate if anyone can help, thanks :):):o
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] kariolmax:
Chillout for me at First Days battery drains in one hour. Past two days will be normal. :)

are you serious? well i will wait and hope so,,,, why is it like that anyway ^wierd^
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] jd89:
Help please

Greetings.

I am an emui and i would like to go back to stock, and i have no backups. Can somenone please tell me exactly what do i have to do?
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] kariolmax:
Just flash 3.05 by TWRP recovery ;)
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] jd89:
I want to do a complete wipe of my phone and start from scratch. So what i want to do is go back to stock with stock recovery. Any solution?
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] kariolmax:
There's two methods:

1. First install stock and then update by UMi Tool (stock recovery will back).

2. Flash all by SP flash tool.
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] hellfreezover:
I suggest you to not use the UMI charger, check that your battery is not swollen, like if the glass is higher than the Aluminium (you can use a calipler to measure thickness )

And last, I recommend to use the EMUI or MiUi for UMI. They are much better ?
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] jd89:
Thanks very much for your time and reply! So what you are suggesting is either to flash stock 3.05 and update with umi tool or flash stock with sp tool. Right?

On the second option do I need to flash 3.01 and upadate all the way to 3.09 or can i flash any update i want and the result will be the same?
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] thepopos:
3.09 seems less stable than the 'anti-reboot' ROM :(

3 reboots in just over a day. I didn't have a single one in a weeks use of the other ROM.

All times it's happened when I haven't been using the phone. I'll hear it vibrate and when I look at it the screen is showing the boot logo.

Shame because 3.09 is better otherwise (no 3 finger screenshots etc...)
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] kariolmax:
Be happy! Maybe its just unlucky one day. I haven't got any reboot for about 3 weeks
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] parhammp:
its not

its already been three days now and the battery drains so fast still,,, and the top of the device gets pretty hot too, i ran a test and it said draining fast too, im contacting my retailer and umi itself but they are not answering yet,,,, any solution, i love the device except the heating and battery :( :( :(:(:(:(:confused:
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] kariolmax:
Are you playing games on it? Beacuse while playing games I've got drain too.
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] parhammp:
i did yesterday,, but even not games like facebook, or messaging apps etc it stills drains the batttery, like if i leave the phone for 30 minutes, it will not drains, but the moment i open the phone, even just at the homepage, i can see the battery percentage going down fast :crying:
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] kariolmax:
Maybe you have to calibrate battery.
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] Tarnak:
Get some tool which will log your cpu usage, like System Monitor Info CPU MEM and investigate. Maybe some of tasks consume a lot of cpu.
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Guys I believe this is the most unreliable smartphone device I heard of. I returned mine to geekbuying (horrible customer support) and I am waiting for a full refund from paypal. I will also request a refund for the return fees since the phone was DOA, mic never worked on phone calls. In my personal opinion you should avoid buying this device since the problems are so many that is obvious it has to do with a really bad manufacturing process.

A lot of people from the greek forum community (www.myphone.gr) complained that they received the phones with the glass screen protruding on one side, glue being visible under the glass screen etc. Seems like UMI engineers just trying to fix the faulty devices and return it to re-sellers, what a mess!
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] victorzijka:
With this phone I learned something. If it's working, don't update. It will **** everything
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] thepopos:
:D

I must admit, I've very mixed on 3.09.

The camera is a lot better, it seems to focus quicker and the pictures seem a lot sharper. I'm also chuffed that there's the option to get rid of 3 finger screenshots because they were annoying the hell out of me.

The biggest problem is stability and WiFi. Both seem to be worse then they were on 3.06 anti-reboot. I've gone from no reboots at all to 2-3 a day which is annoying. It's hard to quantify the WiFi but it seems to just lose network all of a sudden and I hadn't noticed that on the other ROM.

I've noticed they've deleted the ROM section on their forum which is a shame as it was a good source of information. It was also a good way to let them know the issues with the software.
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] parhammp:
:(

i did that but nothing, i contacted geekbuying ( the site i bought it from) and they replied after 3 days saying that i have to return it to them and that is going to cost me the shipping fee as well to send it back to them,,, i would but im scared in the other hand that they are going to send a worse one, and the return is only like one timed, so ,,,, what do you think?? how much does the normal umi zero battery last? maybe im thinking wrong and all umi zeros are bad like mine?/ :confused::confused::(

thankss alot !
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] kariolmax:
You can request battery repair kit and replace it on your own (on umidigi there's instruction how to :) )
