It's weird, the above app shows that the screen recognises where I'm touching it accurately but when I test individual letters on the keyboard when typing a text/sms, I notice that the upper part of the keyboard registers exactly where I've touched whilst for the bottom letters, it believes that I've press a few milimetres lower.

I can see that by having enabled in the Settings -> Developer Options -> Show Touches which then shows a white cloudy dot under the "believed" touched location. I've tried with two other keyboards (touchPal and Remote Keyboard) Vs Android Keyboard (AOSP), the default one and all three have a slight bias for registering lower than actual touches the closer I touch to the bottom edge of the phone.

My previous phone was a Samsung S2 so I'm used to typing on a smaller screen more accurately but with this offset touch issue (so it's no longer as bad as the ghost touches which were way like off the scale), I'm making so many typing mistake.

Can anyone confirm that they are affected by this problem or is it just a few of us?
[Device Reviews and Information] dragon2knight:
I use Swiftkey keyboard and it registers when I've hit the letter/number correctly by showing the letter number being pushed in. I use that as a guide to see to if the touchscreen is off or not, at least in that portion of the screen. With the Spanish rom, I'm not seeing/having any issues with accuracy. It's working fine on my end.
[Device Reviews and Information] Tautologica:
I think the same happens to me. So the lower/bottom part of the keyboard registers the touches a bit lower. And I do get typing errors sometimes. But it depends on how I am writing etc. So if I concentrate and type I don't get errors...

Thank you for reply. I tried this method, but it did not work for me, because my IMEI numbers are still valid. As far as I understand i need invalid or null IMEI numbers to change them. How can l remove them first.

I've initiated the return process on Ebay to return my phone as I can't use the virtual keyboard much before it behaves like I've pressed somewhere else on the screen. Actually the issue seem to be with the lower part of the screen where pressing the screen in this area resulted in a ghost touch about an inch higher up. The upper part of the screen doesn't seem to suffer from this issue so maybe if I could force the virtual keyboard to be displayed on the upper part, that would be a solution :)

It's a shame, I really like this phone. The battery is great so far and so easy to install a new ROM.

I've asked the Ebay seller for an exchange but I don't have much faith in a replacement Emax. Could it be as simple as removing the screen protector as Mauley mentioned in post #130?
[Device Reviews and Information] BarrySamuels:
I have had my 'phone for 3 days now and haven't experienced that problem - see longer reply below:

Earlier this month I passed my 79th birthday and thought it's about time I started living dangerously. My current Sony Xperia Z was about due for a replacement and I was planning to get another well known brand. Then I chanced to see some posts about the UMI Emax and it sounded good. At the price being offered I thought it would be worth the risk and placed an order last Tuesday via Amazon. The 'phone arrived on Friday just 3 days later and I've been playing ever since.

I had previously installed a dual recovery/rooted stock Android on my Xperia and one of the reasons I chose the Emax was that it came pre-rooted. Very forward thinking by UMI. I was also hoping to install the Xposed Framework and xPrivacy which I wouldn't like to be without. I thought I'd try UMI's RootJoy so, as I normally use Linux, I had to dig out my old laptop, which has Linux on it but it also has Windows XP which was on it when it was delivered, and install Rootjoy. All pretty straight forward.

When I first tried the 'phone I found that going into Settings->Display caused settings to crash. Not very impressive. However a factory reset cured that. Then I tried flashing the latest version (V5) of the ROM using RootJoy which, again, was quite straight forward and seemed to be working without problems.

One of the things I was planning was to install the Xposed Framework until I read a post from someone who had tried that and experienced a boot loop. Not so good. Then I spotted a post which mentioned a ROM from a Spanish group which included the Xposed Framework so I downloaded that and flashed it with RootJoy. It has been running very well ever since.

I haven't experienced any of the problems I've seen mentioned including the ghost touches problem with the display. I can only assume that it must be a manufacturing problem.

I have had one problem so far which is trying to make a backup using the Recovery. That stops with an error "failed to mount /dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/by-name/system (File exists)". If anyone can suggest a solution then I'd be grateful. I'm assuming that this backup would be a Nandroid backup.

I have seen that TWRP is available for other UMI models so I'm hoping a version might appear for the EMax. If another recovery were installed would it affect using RootJoy?

So far I am very impressed with this 'phone and I am, currently, installing all the applications I had on the Xperia and setting up everything.

It is an extraordinary 'phone at an extraordinary price. :D

Hello, below it's link to my fixed recovery, it looks it works for me. I'll glad if you confirm me that works. I found two issues, 1st in recovery file manager SD card and emmc are switched, 2nd it's you can see backup in internal, only in recovery mode. First one I'll repair, if i have time.

Umi eMAX problem

I have a problem, when I get a notification on my umi eMAX the LED does not blink. It only glows when is on charge. Can you help me with this problem?
[Device Reviews and Information] coolman7:
Thanks but it did not work for me. I guess, first I have to clear or invalidate IMEI numbers first.

---------- Post added at 06:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:34 AM ----------

Thank you for link. I think I have to clear IMEI numbers first. AFAIK, to do this I must write a ROM with sp flash tool. I'm trying to da everything, but there is a problem that I can't find, and flashing does not start. Here is what I did to flash a ROM with SP Flash Tool:

I followed all steps explained in documentaton: http://community.umidigi.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=11

1) I tested with 32 bit Windows 7 and Windows XP and installed drivers

2) I pressed Download button at sp flash tool

3) I plug USB cable

4) MediaTek PreLoader Port driver seen by Windows

5) But flashing does not start

What's wrong? Any idea?

Thanks
[Device Reviews and Information] BarrySamuels:
Many thanks for your efforts. I was going to try it until I saw that someone had produced a TWRP recovery which I've used instead.

Many thanks for doing that. I have tried it and it certainly seems to work. I've made a nandroid backup using it and that has worked. Thanks again.
[Device Reviews and Information] HypoTurtle:
Try connecting you phone with the battery removed (just need to do this once to try and get the drivers to associate correctly).

Have you tried this app?
[Device Reviews and Information] coolman7:
UMI eMax has non-removable battery. So I can't remove it.

I tried Chamelephon app. It did not work. I believe I need to invalidate IMEI before changing it with these applications.

Where is LED notification setup?

Can I charge emax with 2A (5V) charger?

btw - spanish rom is great
[Device Reviews and Information] bencebacsi:
I think, there's no setup for the notification LED. That's also missing in the engineering menu. The factory mode is Chinese only, so I don't know.

You can charge your phone with a 2A charger, but it won't suck more than 1.09A

Tinkered with the EV calibration a bit, was able to make it less over exposed, I think. Still has grains, but still feels faster than A Better Camera unlocked.

I have now had my EMax for a week and have been very pleased with it so far.

I notice that the 'auto screen brightness' doesn't work very well sometimes and I wonder if it's when light levels are low. I have seen other people complaining about this.

Does anyone know how to activate 'Safe Mode' on this 'phone?

I'm running the Spanish ROM which includes the Xposed Framework but has anyone tried to add Xposed to the new v5 ROM?

[Device Reviews and Information] coolman7:
Finally I've written flash with SP Flash Tools and changed IMEI numbers successfully. But I have spent nearly one week to research different sources and documents and solve different issues. So I decided to write a whole documentation about flashing and chaning IMEI of eMax at every single step in single document. I hope this will help to others to solve their problems about flashing and changing IMEI. Here is the link:

[Device Reviews and Information] dreamstarz:
I received a new UMI Emax on 7th August through a reseller on eBay. It would be an excellent phone if it would function properly. Unfortunately this unit I received seems to be defective. The device works fine only if left connected to the charger, but once the power is disconnected it becomes unresponsive and boots into a bootloop where it cycles through the umi logo and android start up screens, then the locked wallpaper screen. If left untouched it continually repeats this boot cycle over and over. However, if I swipe to unlock the wallpaper screen I can use the phone as normal until any period of inactivity causes the screen to turn off and for the mobile start the continuous boot cycle all over again. I have tried everything I can think of to fix this issue including flashing different roms, before returning to stock. Has anyone else had this particular problem with the eMAX or know of a solution. Any advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
[Device Reviews and Information] Chickens83:
Have you tried a factory reset or tried flashing a new ROM?
[Device Reviews and Information] tracktriathlon:
dreamstarz said that they installed different ROMs but it didn't solve the problem. No idea what caused it and I wonder if it's somehow related to the ghost touch issue some of us are having. I returned mine because of the touch issue and the eBay buyer refunded me without any problem (I did state that both the UMI forums and this forum has several examples of people experiencing screen touch issues). I'm still looking for a new phone but I'm even more reluctant to try my luck ordering another Emax since you've highlighted another issue. Shame as it's a very good phone when it works.

Stock Flashable Recovery

S7yler.... I need your help quick..... I've bricked my device!. I installed the Modded stock rom from Needrom a while back and yesterday i installed TWRP recovery. Then today I decided to try another ROM so i flashed it inTWRP. Now my phone is bricked and I need it for work tomorrow.

Do you know how to create a Flashable stock recovery (Rootjoy recovery, I already have the img file) so i can flash it then get my phone back to stock?

Thanks in advance for anyone who can help me.
[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
Sorry I don't know. I would probably just download the full stock ROM from needrom

and then flash the whole rom again with SPFlash Tool.

Hi all,

Not sure if you've noticed but UMI have just announced the eMax mini with a snapdragon processor (check out the announcement here: http://community.umidigi.com/thread-565-1-1.html). Could be interesting if you're interested in a smaller phone.

Anybody else tried the Lollipop rom? They posted photos of it since July 18 then release it with no camera and no signal on September 4, LOL. And it looks like they just ported the rom from a TCL M2M one. And they say they're working hard. Disgusting.

Was hoping for camera optimisations, but the way things are moving, it's impossible.

- Post specifications with Band 20

- Reviewers find out there is no Band 20 and sellers had to change the specifications

- Post teaser with Lollipop 5.1

- Release ROM with incomplete Lollipop 5.0

It's like they're doing it on purpose.

What works and what does not in this version 5.0 for our eMax

Startup Logo -----> Horrible, it is the same as was seen in the first videos that came out of Hammer, who was bringing in the upper right corner, so childish ...

Root ----> No

ON / OFF button ----> With the terminal on just gives that option off does not allow restart

No setup (Select language, Google account, access, etc ...)

Suspend (off screen as selected time) ----> OK

Double tap to wake ----> OK, it is not an option in settings alone but in Gestures, works well

Screensavers ----> OK

Font size ----> OK

HDMI ----> OK

Screen-rotation d (Turning the device) ----> OK

I wanted to buy a phone with a good battery. Now I read here only that it isn't that good. What about you others, what is your experience? I am stuck between Doogee f3 pro, Oukitel u10 or Umi emax. As Umi has best battery acc. to spec. and this is more important to me rather then lte 800 (4g), thats why I want to buy Umi.

Hi everyone, a pleasure to write here and to read all the discussions. Useful and ibteresting!

I have a problem with my emax.. I am trying to connect it to rootjoy but keeps saying that I have to activate usb debug mode even if it's already active..

Rebooted everything more than once but no luck.

The phone is properly connected to my pc so I can transfer data and see it as a media device.

Can't find any info on the web about this problem.. also changed cable but no luck.

I am looking to update my device with a new rom and, as long as I am a noob, I would prefer to avoid spflash and stick with rootjoy..

Any help would be great!

Thanks a lot..

P. S.

To reply to people discussing about problems, I have no ghost touching the screen and my battery lasts 48 hours with moderate use. But I am a business user so no games apart of some puzzle games not bigger than 10 mb in apk.
[Device Reviews and Information] bencebacsi:
You should check in Windows's device manager whether your phone is identified as an ADB device or not. At the first connection you phone ask you to enable connection permission requested by your PC. Did you look at the screen of your phone?

P.s.: I also don't have and never had the ghost touch issue. This is the longest battery life smartphone I've ever had. It easily can last for 48 hours with moderate use and hard to make exhausted by active using in 24 hours.

[LG G Watch R] rwischer:
I contacted LGUS today and they would neither confirm nor deny WiFi for the GWR. The online chat rep ended the session by saying that "They would need to contact me later after they did some research to provide me with an accurate answer." I thought for sure that she misunderstood my question and assumed that I was more interested in the 5.1.1 release. If that were the case I could see why support might not be fully up to speed on 5.1.1 and would want to research a little more. After I explained that I was simply interested in the specs (i.e. is it WiFi ready? Does it have an antenna?) she said she understood and reiterated that LG would need time to research. Why in the world would support not have this info immediately at hand? They need time to research the specs for something that's been out for months?

The bottom line is either Phandroid is wrong or LG lied at the initial press conference and the FCC gave out bogus accreditation.
[LG G Watch R] dkb218:
Are the features of what wifi can do really all that important? I understand it's a feature that should be included especially if it was advertized by LG. But for what it does, how often will it be used?
