My friend,

I know the battery is poor in quality (hard to say is this real 2,8k mah) but on each second page on this topic everybody constantly asking for app which shows real capacity. There is no such tool and never be, because of type of battery (li-ion)
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] Kazama Levi:
Using a high-power charger (2A) for the battery isn't that good because it heats up the battery too much and may shorten its life. Others recommended to use an 1A charger only, or only charge the phone with usb (I always do the latter).

Any news when Miui6 for Umi Zero will come out?

question to all of you :)

how many hours "on screen" time do you have (on a single battery charge)?
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] travoltas:
for me its dissapointing. 1% down every 2 minutes of low use...low brightness, flight mode...
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] kariolmax:
For me 1% in 10 minutes surfing the net. It's good
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] bodyjoao:
For me to, more or less 1% in 10 minutes.......
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] travoltas:
its really nice if you have such scores.can you check battery capacity using cpu z and report? it claims 1000mah for me. im curius to see if theres any umi zero with a battery capacity close to the advetised one...
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] body150165:
Hello friends,

At the moment, I have a galaxy s4, but I want to replace it with a umi zero.

Therefore, I have a few questions: I heard that (in general) GPS reception with these "older" ( 32-bit) Mediateks is not that great. Is one of you a runner (or bicycle rider) and has experience with any tracking app like runtastic, runkeeper, Adidas, sports-tracker or else?

I run long distances. If I run a marathon, GPS is turned on with high accuracy. It drains the battery a lot (even the screen is turned off). With my S4, it drains from 100% to 25% during a full marathon (around 4 hours). As the Umi Zero has a smaller battery, it might get tight. Any experience here?

If you don't have any specific experience please don't post a comment like "battery life is great" or "umi is the best". That's not helpful. Unfortunately, gsmarena didn't test the device, so we do not have a comparison.

Thank you in advance
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] n3bbuch4dn3zz4r:
in General i have to say that i am happy with my umi Zero. Since 3.05 no more random reboots. the only Point is that the camera is not realy good, and the phone heats up when playing, watching Videos etc.

for battery life and gps i can not tell you if it will last 4 hours or longer. but I think with the Display shut off it should be possible.

Since i installed System tuner pro, my battery life Extended great. if am realy not touching it, in the night for example, it only consumes 2-3% in about 7 hours.
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] travoltas:
do you know where i can contact umi zero official?i dont have facebook. do they have an email?i want to ask about battery problem,what they can do.
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] djtomas:
What's the time with screen on? Without GPS, only with WIFI or 3G.
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] Kazama Levi:
Galaxy S4 is 32-bit only as well.

In case you don't like the default Gps app, you can try out Ygps (see attachment).

If you're concerned about battery life, you could consider using a battery pack. This one has plenty reserves (5000 mA), and it's waterproof, dustproof and shockproof, so it should be suitable for marathons:

Umi Zero is only 1000 mAh?
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] eryen:
umi zero battery is not 1000mah. That is hard coded in mediatek source codes.

Maybe not 2780mah, but defginetelly not 1000mah.

I guess 2400mah ~

Also most of cpu/battery applications coded to show qualcomm/exynos battery info files.

Mediatek uses different files.

sys/class/power-supply/battery.

Battery/cpu identifirer applications must revize for mediatek file system.

I just received my UMI Zero today. I successfully updated to the new 3.06 update and did a factory reset as recommend.

I then inserted my SIM card (orange pl) but it won’t connect to my network. It recognizes it as a Network but just keeps searching. I tried manual APN (which match exactly the ones that were in the Automatic one). Still nothing. Tried two factory resets, nothing. It is some sort of council ?

I have a brand new phone that’s useless out of the box.
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] kariolmax:
Nice... I've tried my orange card (tak, z Polski jestem) and it's okay. Try this: "This problem this is easy to solve. Just nail lush on the place where you input SIM-card. Your SIM-card is too think, UMI ZERO accept thickness less than 0.075mm. If this is still not helping, contact reseller where you purchased the device for a replacement."

<polish language>i faktycznie "nowe" sim z orange i play są ciut grubsze od "starych" play i plus, ale nie bedę juz próbować przyklejać czegokolwiek..."<end>

for those of you with battery problems and drain...have any of you tried 'wakelock detector' or 'better battery stats' from playstore,both of these apps will give you a great guide as to what is maybe keeping your device battery draining they must both be used over a 24hr period and is a good idea to fully discharge the battery to 0 before charging again to 100% for 'better battery stats' app,to read the battery correctly,also have any of you installed 'xposed framework' at all,great mod on there called 'app ops' which allows you to configure which apps can keep your device awake ,google services is a bummer for this,also have any of you 'greenified' your device as well,hibernating apps will also help with your battery life

below is a link to the 'google play battery drain fix' thread from oneplus one section as you will see in the screen shots in the OP 'app ops' from xposed works exactly the same way allowing you to 'deny' google from keeping your device awake or anything else you want to deny it...just be certain that if your device starts playing up because you went and didn't follow the OP in the link then reset everything back again and start over

Yes, I have tried, nut seems it is hardware or drivers problem: battety once in the morning drained from 26% to 0% within 1 minute, however no any app was running (i have used several tools to check). Just home screen made 1% loss per 2-3 sec...
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] mrsim:
also try 'catlog' app when open this app will register everything that is happening on your device in front of your eyes as the log is in real time and on screen,also you can record the log to view later...maybe this will get you an idea of what drains the battery so bad and will confirm for certain if it is defo the firmware

i mean my device whilst idle gave almost '0' battery drain overnight the line looks flat as a pancake

has anyone tried changing the governor on their umi zero...it is set to hotplug by default but we have the choice of four...USERSPACE,POWERSAVE,HOTPLUG,PERFORMANCE...try powersave see if this helps with your battery life maybe also drop max frequency down from 2ghz,(just keep going down in the drop down menu on the left with 3C toolbox), until you notice any effect with the system,(i.e. lag),

ok i too seemed to have experienced the super battery drop out on my umi zero this morning,yesterday it seemed to decide it wanted to show me 51% battery no matter what i did with it,after finally playing HD videos on youtube and messing around with the device in general it finally decided to show a drop in battery power,then this morning whilst calling 'lycamobile' to get my internet settings the device had a massive drop out with the power dropping 5-10% every minute...this is a shame as this is a great little device and i would loved to have been able to pass it on as a gift to a friend but until this battery drain problem is sorted out this device stays with me

[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] Olostan:
Be carefull - I was also going to do same but screen edged started to unglue... First I thought it was screen protector but after I have removed it I saw that it is a screen itself. As you can see in this forum it is common problem for these devices and there is no solution. So make a gift until it starts unglue ;)
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] body150165:
[MENTION=6364056]Kazama Levi[/MENTION]: Thank you for your efforts. But how can I tell you that it is useless information? I don't want to blame you for not knowing, so I try to explain.

I referred to the weak GPS signal response of the 32 bit Mediateks. I know that the S4 also has a 32 but Chip. But that has the same information quality as if I say that both have a 5 inch screen. I used those "GPS-boosters" with a different device and I don't believe in their magic from experience. If the GPS reception of the chip is not good, then we just have to accept it.

Battery pack: I assume that you never ran a marathon or trained for that. In the best case, you use a waterproof bag to protect your phone from humidity (sweat, rain, spilled drinking water). Believe me if I say from experience that you don't want to squeeze a 5000mAh battery pack into that waterproof bag. It is also not an option regarding weight.

Thanks again anyway. I will try find a different phone. Too many uncertainties with this phone. Unfortunately.
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] mrsim:
i have noticed a few comments about that screen problem,but i only received the device a week ago so i doubt it will be an issue for me yet,i wonder what causes it...one thing i do know is that there is ZERO quality control in china,they really do not check their product before releasing it to the public unless they are one of the big firms like OPPO or HUAWEI,will keep my fingers crossed that it doesn't happen to my device,i was watching a video on youtube of these devices being prepared to be shipped out on a production line,seems the people on that line didn't treat the devices with much care and attention but i want to make a review of this device soon and would love to give a true honest opinion of all it's pro's n con's so i think i will give this thread a full read from start to finish..thanks for the advice...:good:
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] Olostan:
For me it was Ok for 2-3 weeks. I've put a screen protector on it and normally used it (no extreme - just jeans pocket without keys, car, nightstand etc), but after some time a found a small dot on the edge of the screen that started to increase. I thought it was screen protector unglued, so removed it. And was really surprised that it was not protector.

So I assume that it is not a quality during manufacturing (initially it was perfect), but quality of glue that was used...

May be someone tried to use some glue to solve this problem?

i just done a geekbench battery test on this device and it gave me 05:43:00 SOT from 100% - 01%,it also showed no fast battery drop out towards the end of the test so i would say this is definately a firmware problem on this device,so s7yler if or when you contact umi can you possibly inform them of the problem with their UI so we may receive another update to fix the problem...that would be awesome
