Formatting 64 GB micro SD card

Apparently, it is possible to format a 64Gb micro SD card with fat32 but you can't do it in Windows XP. You need to download an app that specifically allows you do this. If you Google "guiformat fat32" and scroll down until you find the Ridgecrop consultants website and click on it, you will see a square. Click on the square and it will download a file called guiformat.exe. Connect your 64Gb micro SD card directly to your PC. Double click on guiformat.exe, and then the run button. MAKE SURE IN THE NEXT SCREEN ON THE UPPER LEFT YOU CHOOSE THE DRIVE ASSIGNED TO YOUR SD CARD AND NOT YOUR MAIN HARDDRIVE. You have a choice of a quick format which didn't work for me or choose the full format which did work.The guiformat is a finicky program and for some reason it kept restarting when I moved the cursor. So I just left the computer alone for the estimated time the program predicted when it would complete it's work. My Umi Zero now accepts my 64GB micro SD card.

Umi should do something about your phone, it's a shame to sell something like this!!!!

I looks like battery swollen.. Incredible but that's why I'm not using fast charge but my HTC and Nokia charger with 1350 mha on output...

@umi_zero can we expect some new fw version in following days or you are working on lollipop? Just let us know since you didn't posted for few days..

Tracking my snowboard trials is impossible with this phone. I had 3 random reboots in half a day. So tracking stopped each time :( damn it. I hope they fix this issue soon. Did anyone experience random reboots using Emui or Miui?
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] 0Alvar0:
I have the same problem as [MENTION=6366695]galiatsosgio[/MENTION] but not as excessive, when te battery is 18% drop 1% every second and the phone look like this:

What can I do with it dear [MENTION=6258021]umi zero[/MENTION] ??
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] MiguelferraZ:
It is strange why the reboots only happen to some people, because since I bought the phone never had a single reboot...
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] galiatsosgio:
I'd really like to know myself. But I think this is meaningless the real thing is that the device has had serious issues on too many people. Many people are complaining about many things about the battery ,the 3g signal , the Wi-Fi signal, burnt SIM cards, sound quality, reboots, lags, etc. Maybe it's time to admit that something going on with the device . And like many others I am wondering my self too. What is umi going to do about? :mad:
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] politby:
Considering that this was a device that they really wanted to sell worldwide, the right thing to do would be to set up a repair/replacement center in each region where they have sold a significant number of phones. They could probably quite easily contract with local companies in Europe, the United States and so on. Those owners who have problems should be offered repairs or replacements and they would only have to ship the phones to the regional company rather than all the way to China.

---------- Post added at 08:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:48 PM ----------

Well as we can conclude from the reports on this forum, different owners have different sets of problems. Mine only suffers from the occasional reboot and the minor but annoying MAC address schizophrenia.

I think we are looking at a few software bugs in combination with inadequate quality control on the hardware.
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] Tarnak:
My UMI is stable one. No reboots. Mac Changes are MTk generic problem, not the zero itself. I wish to have 2ghz enabled. Correct battery usage and top part of screen Correctly glued.
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] peter_90:
I've been reading all the reports about Umi Zero problems.

Apart from the mac adress changing, I don't have any of these problems.

Maybe a few phones left the factory with problems, or maybe it's something the users did.
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] galiatsosgio:
What could possibly do the users? It's not a tool it's a device like many other of its kind. I did the same things to this phone as I did to my previous one which had for a year and a half. It's is definitely umi's fault. The thing is that me like many other people have already paid for a device which doesn't work properly, we are trying to make updates, flashes, many of us fail to do it right and in the end we will have done the job for umi ...??? It's just not fair. :eek:
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] peter_90:
I was just saying that it's a possibility.

If you are an experienced user, than I suppose the chinese dude that made the phone you got was heaving a bad day. Most of them seem to be hardware problems.
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] littleclown:
There is another point of view - umi already sell tousands of zeros but peiple reporting problems are probably 50-60. Wheb you are happy with your phone you don't search forums to tell "I am ok". Many of the bugs are software. My reboots was fixed with update and I am not the only one. The poor quality control is fact. They should create good replacement procedure.
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] galiatsosgio:
I think people who aren't reporting a problem is the minority. I am reading forums on my mother tongue and the majority of them are reporting problems similar to this site. They also have the opinion that everyone who buys this phone from now on is an I... ..t. My self, I am an optimist one :laugh:
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] s7yler:
I am using a Vinsic external powerbank, it is working fine on my UMI ZERO. Both with the 1.0A and 2.1A port on the powerbank. No disconnects here. Phones from China also have warranty, but it of course depends on how or where you bought it.
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] peter_90:
My powerbank also works well with other phones - Thl, samsung, htc. I have this problem only with the Umi and I can't find any solutions for it.

Do you have any ideas?
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] galiatsosgio:
"View Poll Results: Do you have random reboots on your UMI ZERO?" Bravo! !!! An excellent thought. And maybe you should add a "have you got any serious problem" poll also
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] s7yler:
I don't think I can add more polls than 1 to a post, can I? I think it is important to see how big this "reboot" problem actually is. Because you will always read about all the users who have problems, but the users without problems you may never heard anything from.

From reading in forums about the UMI ZERO, it always sounds like all ZEROs have reboot problems, but with the results on the poll, it already gives a whole other picture.
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] Kazama Levi:
I've got my Umi Zero beginning of January. I ordered from Geekbuying, who have a very fast and helpful support when I asked beforehand.

They've got a very good reputation: resellerratings.com/store/GeekBuying - 9.6 of 10

(unlike certain other shops: resellerratings.com/store/efox_shop - 3 of 10 points :silly: )

I chose the DHL shipping option (standard, not express), and shipping was super-fast, just three days from Hong Kong to my doorstep in Germany :good:

That's a new speed record. Generally stuff ordered from East Asia takes longer, and it's not rare that Customs sits on it for a week doing nothing (despite proper customs declaration).

I've got it with 3.01 on it and so far flashed it with 3.03 and 3.05 without issues. I don't have any reboots or other noteworthy problems either.
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] galiatsosgio:
I will be really happy if in the end of the poll ,the numbers of non rebooting and people who aren't reporting problems are many more ,cause in the end of the story I Will end up with a repaired umi zero in my hands. Bought from to2c.
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] sipart:
Its worth noting that the re-boots I have (and others have mentioned this) happen while idle with phone locked - so you could quite easily miss if your phone has actually rebooted.

It is worth installing "Reboot logger" from the playstore to track reboots.

[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] habichthugo:
It is true ... the problem can be solved by ripe / file the backside of the sim card. Just tage away some 0,01 mm and the 2nd SIM card slot is working.

Have no Idea, why UMI ZERO is reacting so sensitive on SIM cards ... but this little thing really helped a lot. :cowboy:
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] Olostan:
I also started observing battery problems: it run out from 30% to 0% during about minute or two. 1-2% per several seconds... Attaching screenshot. What that could be? What is the real capacity of battery?
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] Undefined007:
Can't retrace the problem. Try arcatarcs emumi Rom. Since emui I have no problems with the battery at all. Don't forget to backup! ;)

Some image comparison. Shots were taken on 2 different days through a windows glass. The arcatarc's EMUmI Rom is awsome. Give the man some respect! ;D

The first = 3.01

the second = 3.05

the third one = EMUmI 3.05
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] Gorlist:
My Umi Zero just arrived today and I think its fresh out of the factory due to stocking delay with CooliCool.

Hey guys

I'm Testing my zero for few days. I got it with v3.01. Bought it from aliexress

I've only one Problem. Often the phone lock off.-Without touching on\off button. by using the phone with one Hand i think the phone not so offen go to "sleepmode"

Ive read that some other people have same issue.

How can i fix this issue?

By the way: all other stuff works great at this time ;)
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] Tarnak:
No film on screen, are you? Which type of cover you are using? You are sure that you not cover light sensor?
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] kornspitz:
Display works great. Nope i use only on the backside the screenfilter. Also use the orginal zero cover. When i touch the top left side (over the volume button) phone gets locked. (Very often , but not every time). Mybe a Hardware issue?!

The on\off button is also bit squishier (loose) like the Volumebutton.

Very strange :S
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] Tarnak:
One more thing, do you have gravitybox + kk installed? I've turned on feature on which double tap on status bar makes it locking.
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] Kazama Levi:
From 3.01 to 3.05, there's a clear improvement, but with Arcatacs Rom, there's again an improvement.

Arcatac, what camera app are you using in your Rom?

No comparison there. :))

Thank you everyone for your help any i wish you all many updates (especially one to 5.0).
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] kornspitz:
Thanks, gravitybox is real awesome! But it dont solve my problem. I hope its not a Hardware problem.sometimes phone get locked by only tiping keyboard :S i will update phone to 3.05 or emui3.05 on weekend. I give you feedback later.

Has anyone got a solution for the random reboots?

I have updated to the most recent version 3.05 and wiped the cache and settings more than one time.

It could be a hardware failure, but i really hope thats not the case.

Returning it to china would be a real hasle
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] galiatsosgio:
The only thing, although I have not tested it, is arcatac's ROM. It might be a good idea. You will find it on the first page including instructions. Mine is on its way to to2c , to be replaced. Unfortunately umi hasn't given a solution to all its customers. As you can see on the poll above 4 to 10 state to have random reboots. And concluding, my phone had had serious hardware problems. You can see photos a few pages behind.

I have mine since December 11 and I had no problem at all with wifi, at home or outside.

---------- Post added at 06:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:31 PM ----------

Hello,

I have mine since December 11 and I was a bit worried but I am so happy with it.

It really rocks, fast, screen is gorgeous...

The only thing is that it is very slim and slip, quite easy to let it fall but there is a Z metal/alu-protection to put on the back, with that no problem

and guys everyone stare at your bright Z... what's that phone??? :)

Bought from aliexpress, safe to pay and in case of problem, the shop was very friendly answering all my questions even the stupid one..

it is "Happy UY" shop 1305530, I am new here, can not post a link...

Et non je ne suis pas du magasin :)

For that price, it is amazing.
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] Ties(to):
Dear umi zero (long time no info from you?!?),

Because of all the problems I experienced I asked the seller of my UMI Zero (Aliexpress store MICHELLE TRADING CO., LIMITED ) to accept that I will send back the device and they will send me back a Snapdragon device (like ZTE Nubia Z7 mini, Xiaomi Mi3 or Xiaomi Mi4), as I thought no response on the question but they informed me as below:
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] eryen:
And today i got my second umi zero. But from antelife.

Ordered in 25 December with express dhl.

They send me device in 9 January, 20 days later. Package was in custom 3 days later. "Yeah, this is expres service"

And another suprise, invoice was with wrong name. Custom did not except package with, missmatch invoice and package deliver address.

I was tracking dhl website, so had to inform antelife support service, still they informed me that they will send proper invoice in 20 january.

Each day, custom and dhl called me if there is a new progress, because after 3 day, i have to pay custom delay fee.

3 February, and i finally got device, with nearly 100$ custom delay fee.

DO NOT SHOP FROM ANTELIFE.
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] fappapp:
lot of negative feedback about that company, I feel I must defend them as my experience with Antelife was good, and they reply to questions and negative posts on the facebook page.

They shipped my presale device as soon as Umi got the stock out, Antelife support replied to any email the same day.

My phone battery expanded the same as this guy [MENTION=6366695]galiatsosgio[/MENTION], I sent them a video showing this and explaining the random reboots and they said ship back and we will replace. Didnt expect to get my post fee back, but they did refund it in form of a voucher. They are shipping a new phone with a free flipcase. They might even offer you exchange of another device of same value. Ill definatly order from them again.

Anyway I will have a new Zero soon. I dont know if i should use the fast charge adapter with this one?! If it reboots at anytime in the first few days, i shall try the Miui ROM. thank [MENTION=402916]sarca[/MENTION]tarc

Ill post pictures of the $6 flipcase they send with feedback If i can recommend it.

Any date for Lollipop? guess keeping an eye on the UmiOffical FB page is best way to find out.
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] Levered:
Great feedback, but i read in umi forum has many bugs found on latest update v3.0.5. So, i will buy Jiayu S3 for better specs. Thank you all.

Enjoy with your phone and Happy nice day :fingers-crossed:
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] Funky_r:
Just asked for a refund at geekbuying, could always file a paypal dispute.

They want me to wait till febuari 15th to send it back, really weird.

It bums me out that the phone doesnt work because appart from the random reboots its really a great device.
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] elkosith:
Maybe there should be a poll:

After spending some time with the phone, what would you do to your UMI Zero?

1. Keep it

2. Return it

3. Sell it

4. Not sure
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] Olostan:

Screen un-gluing

I read more and more situation where the screen of UMI Zero starts to unglue.

Did it happen to some of you? If yes, were you able to fix it?
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] kufciak:
Nope mine Umi from hardware perspective is fine at least till now.. Only one reboot since two weeks of use. I'm very satisfied with phone performance and overall build..
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] eryen:
Not only negative comments.

I am also realy happy with my umi zero.

I did not used stock rom. With arcatarc emui rom, did not any reboot till 1 week.

With afew optimization, very good battery life, nice build quality. Allready dropped twice device.

Very slipy ;), but still i like slippy design, will not use any kind of cover ever.
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] Jimband:
Reboots

I'm pretty sure the reboot issue occurs because of putting the phone to sleep using power button. I've had several reboots soon after putting the phone to sleep(=screen off) using the power button. The reboot always happens pretty soon after setting screen off. If phone is put to sleep using some other method such as an app like "Screen Off" by Icillin the reboots do not occur.

Either the power buttons has some physical problem or the Zero by default does something after going to sleep that eventually causes the reboot. I would bet on the last option (and this should be semi-easy to verify by for example overriding the default power-button behaviour to launch "Screen Off").

My guess is that people who don't experience the reboots are mostly not using the power button to put Zero to sleep (but rather a flip-case or something else).
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] Olostan:
Mine rebooted while I was using some apps, or even during phone call... So I dont think it is power button issue
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] s7yler:
That's just a wild guess, and doesn't sound logical. I just use the normal power button and have always done, and I am sure many others also do that. And have no reboots. Also I don't think that many actually have the flip case or are using a app to turn the screen off.
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] Jimband:
Well, definitely there's multiple reasons for the reboots as UMI already fixed some of the causes yet still it occurs. Anyway, since it's pretty easy to test it, I'd recommend this approach for anyone facing the reboot problem.
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] Tarnak:
I don't think so, mine is often turned off by power button. No restarts with one exception but I've messing with dialer.apk.
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] galiatsosgio:

I'm happy too with my Uni Zero. Changed from Galaxy S3 mini and I want to stay with Umi. Just screen glue is a problem but I think that I can solve it by plastic glue. Using emumi Rom with no reboots for 5 days.
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] Kazama Levi:
Anyone noticed that Umi's webpage is currently unreachable? (umidigi.com or 91umi.com)

If you try it, you get a page in Russian that's saying that the page is not available.

Does anyone know what's up there?
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] lis.marc:

[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] Olostan:
On that webpage is written that owners of web site did not pay.

P.s. If I knew that Umi somwhow connected to Russia I would never buy that phone... That explain poor software quality issues, why updates are available on russian "yandex disk" where you cant download without registration and other issues... I would never ever buy russian-related things!!!
