Guys I've came across a strange problem. My phone stopped charging as it was on the charger. After that it is like the USB is not working anymore. No charging or even connection to PC is possible.

But the really strange thing is that when I turn the phone off - it charges again without no problem. I've tried to reflash the rom from local update from the SD card without any success. However, I've managed to turn on the charging again from the MTK engeneering menu, but only the charging. I cant connect the phone to the PC now.

Please, give me some help here. In anohter forum they gave me the advice to try reflashing with Flashtool

Happened the same to me on Jiayu S3 but suddendly started work and never happened again. But there was a time (about 2-3 weeks) it only charged when off. I thought buying a new usb module at the time.
[Device Reviews and Information] ThunderBird891:
DO you remember something specific that you have done in that time that brought the charging back? Like charging it full or discharging it fully when turned off? Or removing the battery or something like this?
[Device Reviews and Information] Tecno83:
Hi guys,

I just bought an UMI IRON Pro, I had great expectations for this smartphone, since UMI's marketing/publicity, it has good specs, however, I found out that instead of the announced 2.0 fast aperture lens it is supposed to have, it only has 2.4 aperture lens, what isn't as good, because it doesn't let in so much light to the camera sensor!

Also anyone knows how I can check if the camera sensor is really from Sony and the model they announce?

Besides the camera woes, I haven't been able to find any option to use the fingerprint sensor, for anything else than just unlock the phone/screen... :(

Isn't it possible to lock/unlock access to specific apps by fingerprint? On other cheaper chinese phones, this option is available...

Best Regards

Tecno

Hello everybody, I decided to post my impressions about the umi iron pro after almost 2 months using it.

I am loving it. I also have a Galaxy S5 and comparing them I can say that I am still using the umi instead of the s5.

About the sound and volume, there is nothing wrong with either. Quality and volume are perfect fine, I had to make some adjustments and that's it.

So far I had no fc or freeze, everything runs smoothly, way better than my s5, specially because of the 3gb of ram.

I almost can't believe how consistent it is. Even the loudspeaker quality is good enough.

Cameras are good, my s5 seems to have better quality of pictures but with some tweaking I have been able to produce very decent pictures too.

When I bought it I never expected it to be that good. I have always had samsung, s2, s3, s4 and now s5.

What like the best is the fact that you can keep many apps running in the background and when you go back to them they are the way you left them.

4g is perfect here in Brazil, I get 50mbps!
[Device Reviews and Information] Rimasi89:
I can totaly agree with you, but there's one thing that is missing an that's the software devolpment. There's no discussing and software devolping on this forum and whatsoever. It could be devs running out tests and software improving, because it's a great smartphone!!!
[Device Reviews and Information] Solo761:
I've got mine last week, so far it performs really good. My only disappointment is battery life. It drains 7-10% in about 10 hours. This is without any interaction from me, WiFi, data and location off. My old Xperia Z has weaker battery but doesn't drain so much in idle.

I hope there'll be some more updates because 3.02 has some issues. Like bug when fingerprint unlock unlocks, but doesn't turn the screen on (to me it happens in 1/4 unlocks) and lack of google contact sync, calendar sync and setup wizard. OK, setup wizard is not that necessary, you can set it up manually, but 3.01 had all of these. I don't understand why they threw them out. Especially contact sync. As it is now 3.02 won't sync with google contacts unless you manually install missing apk via rootjoy.

I've unpacked 3.01 and 3.02 firmwares and found these three missing files/folders in app and priv-app folders. I copied them from 3.01 to 3.02, repacked it back to system.new.dat folder. Zipped and resigned firmware file (which I think is not necessary as original manifest.mf and cert.sf files reference non existant files, who knows from what firmware they come from...). All looks good, but I'm not sure if it would be safe to flash it? Any expert around? :) Only modification is these three new (old) files, GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter, GoogleContactsSyncAdapter and SetupWizard, nothing else is changed.

Do you guys have issues with camera?

Aside from graininess I have focus problems. I usually have to take 4-5 pictures so that I get one that's average quality. Others are blurry (in addition to being grainy). Even outside pictures that I take in plain daylight suffer from this.

I'm seriously thinking of just selling this phone and buying something with less powerfull (at least on paper) but at least working. Like Galaxy A5...

It's funny, it's really dependent on the app you're using. I've found that the pics taken from FB messenger were massively overexposed, but were way better with the stock cam.

Tried the WP8 rom that just appeared, and seriously disappointed. For some daft reason, I really believed it would be windows phone (it was one of the reasons why I bought the phone, I guess I should have done a bit more research), and was thinking of a nice multiboot so I could enjoy both OSes... But nope, just a crappy launcher added to the android rom. *sulks*

Kinda tough to do since I don't have my old Xperia Z anymore and UMI is my only phone. These are the examples made with Iron Pro, be warned that pictures are big, I haven't resized them or anything, they're as they come off the phone.

First is surprisingly good picture, sharp, easily readable, although that graininess is noticable. I had to take 6 pictures to get this sharp one

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/75853299/Pics/IMG_20160401_225747.jpg

Next is the same card, but this time blur is noticable

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/75853299/Pics/IMG_20160401_225835.jpg

Part of my room, blurriness is major, you can't read letters on door poster

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/75853299/Pics/IMG_20160402_160945.jpg

Same scene, but this one is sharp, although, again, grain galore...

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/75853299/Pics/IMG_20160402_160905.jpg

There's one more thing I noticed, if I set my camera app to 6 MPix (3324x1872) pictures turn sharper than next 16:9 size (which is 9.5M 4096x2304), or even 13 Mpix (4160x3120, 4:3) which should be native resolution. That's one more "funny" thing. They advertise it as having 13 MPix rear camera, so why does it then report as 20 MPix camera to applications? Who knows if it's even 13 MPix...

Hi [MENTION=1071281]styler[/MENTION],

I always watch your preview/1st look and full reviews as I trust your views and opinion and I think it is comprehensive but this issue with the SD card is a big issue for me since it hinders me to get the most of my phone. So usability after 3months or less I will be a big issue if there is is no solution for this. I think you should include this in your future review coz this is a DEAL BREAKER for me and I think many users will agree.

Thanks. I hope you will consider this.

BTW, your 1st look review of umi touch is in android 6.0 marshmallow and it seems not rooted based on the video (too bad... another Deal breaker), can you please include the SD card move and install when you do the full review.

Umi says they will update umi iron pro to marshmallow but will it get the unrooted as the the umi touch?
[Device Reviews and Information] Noe83:
[MENTION=7398751]Test umi[/MENTION] you have to go to settings then memory and switch to sd card
[Device Reviews and Information] Test umi:
Thanks for the reply. I did that already and it did not work nor moving the app to SD card. Try your solution and then browse via file explorer your app and you will see that the app is not save in the SD card and look at your file size after install and compare it before and it will show you that the app is installed in your internal storage.

[Device Reviews and Information] megthebest:
Touch has Android 6, so the situation is still different, Andorid 6 come with new initialization for micro sd, only if you pair with smartphone, you can use for app ass internal memory extension, otherwise you can use as in the past for moving data or photo/video in manual mode with file manager. I have Umi Touch now...
[Device Reviews and Information] Test umi:
Thanks for the reply.

That initialization is not new i have done that with my umi iron pro but did nothing as detailed in my previous post. If they fix it in umi touch, then good at what cost? No root access/unrooted (another deal breaker) also i need to see it to believe or video review perhaps. You see i watch a lot of styler full review but misses this one and affected usability of the phone in the long run. This is crucial for me and i bought my phone coz of his review. The issue here is not umi touch but the umi iron pro update/fix and the ability to use the storage at its full capacity in any form of need. So any form of help is appreciated.

Thanks again for the reply, maybe it is best to show via video of moving an app/data/obb, and intstallation of app to an external sd card then show the files in the ext.sd.

So, for Iron pro (but same for Iron, Rome, Hammer S, Hammer, Touch) .. there is no space for support in future..

UMi's marketing is so aggressive and no space for service support and rom updates..

So they follow their device for 2 months, after winn make new model and forget the old one..

Unfortunately it's common from many chinese companies..

Yes, sadly a very common thing, but I have to admit that they really take it to extremes, friend bought a umi touch, and about twelve seconds later their new super came out...

Iron Pro Hardware

Hey!

I use an Iron Pro as my daily driver, and can confirm that it is a very snappy, and efficient phone. The build quality is very good considering the price. I have had this phone since January and it's still going strong. It has been around the world 3 times, and that's more than I can say for my HTC One.

Overall, a high quality, budget phone with a fingerprint scanner.

Awesome stuff. :good::good:

[Device Reviews and Information] DeathByArmadillo:
Not quite sure what you're asking, is it about using fingerprints to lock apps? If so, that's sadly not something the original OS supports, and as most of the custom ROMs simply do not work when it comes to the FP sensor, that leaves a gap.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kOneM9:
Ever since I've installed the rom (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3068820) my phone has been overheating on semi-long periods of use, or playing youtube or gaming. (sub 5-7 minutes). I don't know what causes it, also the phone freezes sometimes on Chrome/Whatsapp. I don't know whats causing any of these but I'd love to have them fixed, don't know how though.

The reason I switched to the ARHD12 was the sense toolbox, i really want to customize my phone but that doesn't work either since xposed frimware, the latest version for my phone says corrupt zip whenever i try to flash it. flashing to nandroid backups also soft-bricks the phone, sadly.

If it's possible, I'd like to just revert to the stock version of the phone that didnt overheat, and or a nice customizable rom that doesnt heat ): (viperonem9=softbrick, idk why ;-;)
