I can't even tell whether it's front or back of the phone? :)

by the way - did you try to install the lg led notification app?

And maybe you can take some sample pictures? I would like to look at metadata.

Hey Guys, im a Noob at rooted devices.

Any explaination for me as to when i try and create a backup file it takes over an hour and so i just turned it off!

I even tryed ROM Manager to create the backup but its the same thing just takes to recovery mode faster!

Maybe it is a simple thing that my SD card is slow to write! But I donno why it wont just save the back up for me!

Any other way to explain for me to make a backup of the stock ROM? before i install exposed framework.

Hi,

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2683406

I've used this guide. There was some messing with drivers. Let me know if all was ok.

Good luck.
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] fappapp:
Thank you.

i didnt do any messing with drivers! was i supposed to use the mtk flash!

Anyway it worked for me from just the reboot rocovery screen, i left it alone for over an hour, id say it took 90minutes, file was 3.5 gb ffs i just wanted to back up the ROM but mustve bcked up everything. i presme my "user data backup" has the ROM and UMI firmware in it?!

Maybe it took so long because my SD is slow or not connected correctly because my simtray scrapes going in! 3.5GB shouldnt take so long I think.
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] Tarnak:
Indeed, it's possible that sdcard was a bottleneck.

Mine, was a 1,5GB. You need to reach D subsection and you are ready to go A:)
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] fappapp:
I havnt a clue what you mean go to D and A?! :cyclops: im using the MTK driver tool now to save the Umi ROM.

that version of PDanet wont load to my phone! stuck on "updating pdanet to your phone", installs and pairs straight away on the youtube video! maybe there is a newer version i should be using for kk4.4.3
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] Tarnak:
On XDA link which I posted is quide and description points steps from A to D.

Last A was typo, sorry:)

I had the same problem with updating pdanet, I've restarted phone to get in working but to be sure-sure restart your pc, too.
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] fappapp:
whats this mean! like if he was trying a new ROM? is this the only way to change the preloader? The backup created will have the Umi factory preloader anyway. So if im understanding this message as a warning if trying a Custom Rom or what?
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] Tarnak:
So, if u have preloader on phone,there is no need to flash again and risk bricking,imo.

when "preparing flash in blocks" the files.md5 doesnt exist in my backup :confused: just system and nvram....so i dont know what to do now.

I updated to newer version MTKtools 2.5.3 and it worked no errors

EDIT again when tricking to write to blocks for flash tool, i get this error "Preparation of files for FlashTool is impossible, file isn't found : L:\Android\Rooting\MtkDroidTools\backups\A-8_130903_backup_131001-212438\MT65??_Android_scatter*.txt" found same problem in a few threads, will read tomorrow .

Thank you sk7ler and Tarnak.

Probably error on creating backup. Do to actions again, post me on priv your log from mtkdroidtools orscreenshot. Logs is on right of window, hard to miss;)
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] s7yler:
It is because you can't just do a regular backup with MTK droid tools of the UMI ZERO, you need to do a full read back "backup" of the phone.

Once it is traceable then it's OK. But why it is not moving? May be Saturday and Sunday came in between.
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] Tdjee:
Very normal. You will lose your tracking after the package is send. There is no way that your local mail track & trace matches the trace code from EMS. Your local mail will make a new track&trace number when its in your own country. The only problem is that you can not trace anymore. Maybe if you call your local post thet can give you a new number.

I hopeit will arrive soon for you.

7 days ago (4/12/14) they gave me from tinydeal the tracking number but still nothing so now i am sure that it is a fake...

i ask about the tracking number they have send me and they just resending it...

no sure if they are trolling with me or....

16 december pre sale delivery

From UmiOfficial facebook:

UmiOfficial

First some excellent news! Pre-order UMi Zero's are starting to ship to retailers on Tuesday 16th December and in 10 days we are planing to finish all the preorders. It's a promise not only for our customers but also for the retailers. If we will not ship it until that time we will cancel the orders.

We are really sorry for inconvenience and thanks to all our fans for being supportive and patient! We understand that have failed those who waited to receive the devices for their Christmas.

There is our answer, but still waiting ........
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] sipart:
I had mine delivered last week from efox shop. Has final software build on it I'm sure. Phone occasionally rebooting itself though!
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] mirchichamu:
One thing I learned now, is that one should buy a reputable company product even if it is a little costlier.

Why there should be reboots if you didn't messed up anything? It shows what is their quality assurance department?
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] Kodaro:
Try saving on the phone by default and not on SD. It's somewhere in the settings and could work.
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] JankyLV:
I know a lot of people who have problems with expensive products too. Apple for example. iphones just rejecting calls, rebooting and loosing signal. Best thing is that you have a warranty then , and they try to fix your phone, but a friend of mine had his phone replaced 3 times before he got an iphone that worked properly.

Now it seems that UMI are trying to make the best of it, and assuring the quality, it's just taking them a long time. And it's frustrating because i thought i'll receive mine like a month ago..
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] sipart:
re: Zero rebooting. I did have xposed and gravitybox installed - so have removed them to get back to pure UMI Zero ROM and have installed Reboot Logger - will leave as is and see if the reboots go away! Lets hope they do as I'm in the UK and sending phones from China back to resolve minor faults (sims being deeply scratched etc) is not a real option due to the cost and the time it takes.

Also anyone see my mention of not being able to install Google+? Anybody got a Zero and able to confirm this issue?
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] mirchichamu:
Yes, xposed can reboot your device if it is not compatible. It can even brick your device. I was thinking that it reboots as such.
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] Tarnak:
Idea about xposed was to prevent bricking. Anyway, I've installed xposed + GBbox and for now it's wokring fine.

No strange behavior.

[MENTION=515917]sipart[/MENTION]

[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] Tdjee:

[MENTION=515917]sipart[/MENTION]: Can you tell me witch date you had made your order by efox. I don't understand why umi has written on there facebook that delivery starts at 16-12 and they already send out?

Can you provide your first overall impression for the still waiting people?

[MENTION=4779306]Tdjee[/MENTION] - see timeline below:

22 Oct - bought 25 euro off UMI Zero for 1 euro

14th Nov - bought the UMI Zero for 169.00 euro, less 25 euro + postage = 152 euro

26th Nov - notified of tracking number - never actually started its journey till Nov 30th

Sun Nov 30 06:24 CN Parcel en route to country of transit

Sun Nov 30 14:09 Shipment is pre-alerted

Sun Nov 30 14:12 Shipment re-labelled

Sun Nov 30 16:25 CN Parcel arrived in country of transit

Tue Dec 2 201407:00 CN Parcel sent to sorting office country of transit

Tue Dec 2 201422:30 NL Sent to country of destination

Thu Dec 4 201408:58 Received in country of destination

Fri Dec 5 201411:23 Shipment delivered

Quality of phone is excellent, screen is great, very thin and well made. Only hardware issue is the sim contacts scratching the sims when inserted - contacts seem to be sitting too proud. Performance is also very good, not really tested the camera yet. For the money its outstanding. Certainly no demo or early sample as far as I can tell.

[MENTION=4415652]Tarnak[/MENTION] - xposed and GB are not yet confirmed as the issue - time will tell - used them before on other phones with no issues. As you can't find Google+ in the playstore this tells me you have the same issue - but if you search google for Google+ apk then you will find plenty of sites where you can download and sideload. Or follow this link and should take you to the playstore on device but suspect you will get "incompatible" message: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.plus&hl=en

Cheers
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] Tarnak:
You are right, it's not compatible but it's because the KK, imo. I've got installed it on my Desire Z (GB2.3) and goclever tablet (ICS). KK on zero seems to be vanilla rom.
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] peter_90:
Hy!

Where did u find the latest firmware?

Did Umi post in the their site?

Thanks!
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] sipart:
Not sure what you mean. Google+ should work on kitkat, all other gapps do. Must be some odd or incorrect setting/ROM build issue?
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] Tarnak:
I mean that maybe G+ isn't working on KK. If there is something missing on UMI KK build, atleast you could try and install gapps for KK manually.
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] fappapp:
Well [MENTION=4415652]Tarnak[/MENTION], changing the name of the scatter to mk6592 without the trubo at the end seems to work alright. Cheers.

Well i have installed GB and Xuimod with possible small settings (clock,statusbar )conflicts and everything is working fine for me.

Im not gonna bother trying Google+ because i dont use it and i think we know it wont work anyway.

They did a recall so on devices sent out in first wave of shipment. So i gues there must be some issues with our models? so far we know the gesture control doesnt work properly and smart screen doesnt work in this first batch, is this correct?
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] sipart:
Errr yes I know it doesn't, just needed someone to confirm this issue is on all umi zeros and not just mine. I have tried to side load it, it doesn't work. All other gapps install without a problem.

Phone over heating when charging

my gesture swipe works only in one direction!! on home screen and app screen only. Doesnt work in gallery or music! how to test the screen cast? it picks up the Playstation alright from netflix i might try that later to test but any other way to test(cast to pc how?) PM me and ill test it to ps3.

I tested Shou.tv app and that app is working for broadcasting to laptop.

smartscreen work for you? doesnt work for me.

Phone is rebooting randomly. every xposed module unistalled bar GB now and still happening maybe 5 times a day and during a call today.:(

Overheating when charging....Its not possible to really use the phone when its charging.. mine gets super hot when charging and turns off if i use it! thermal warning comes up.

[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] Tarnak:
I don't have a psx to test it, I supposed that ScreenCast should scan something and that could stream something.

I did a test, I've plugged on original charger, disabled power saving profile in battery settings and played Gems Journey. Temperatures rises a little, phone itself was warm in upper part but everything was working.

Phone itself is stable. I've Xposed + GG and never had any freeze/force restarting.

Only one minus is screen lift a little in top part, especially when warm. It rises around 0,1mm, pushing it by fingers allow it to stick again for awhile. Irritating but not a big problem.

If you are sure that it's fault of device, you should return it to get it fixed or exchanged.

Hi,

Thanks for sharing. I did an install and all seems to work fine. Sadly, settings for motion sensor disappears from settings. On Camera seems to be some changes in light sensor, photos in darker room are brighter.
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] peter_90:
Could you please explain step-by-step how I can update the firmware on the phone? :D
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] fappapp:
I also see the issue with the screen lifting a small bit when the phone gets hot, just up at top left where charger port is.

this down the line... could lead to issue of the glue losing its strenght over time and dust/dirt getting in and the screen not being flush with body and becoming loose at that corner.

the new cover must be in production now surely be out to buy this week, pricetag of around $12 maybe?

the compamny has also released a preview of the development an extensive line of headphones, seen here:

Well.... i'm still waiting for mine, it should be here next week, but i'll probably have to update the firmware myself :D.

Will the phone support OTA updates, or just manual, like this?
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] s7yler:
No idea, but the sound from the earpiece is clear and loud.
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] s7yler:
The Air gestures made the UI lag when in use, I think thats why they decided to remove it for now.
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] s7yler:
It will also support updating from the SDcard. Then you just download a update.zip and place on the SDcard and go to settings on the phone and there choose the update file, and it will do the rest for you. Much easier. But I don't have the update for this. Then you must wait for UMI to release these updates.
