I have disassembled my faulty unit (i still have it), and i broke (or found broken) LTE Antenna Pins + Mute Button Pins. Bad-Quality pins have been used unfortunately or maybe they were not soldered properly.
[Device Reviews and Information] seraser:
Repair it, mute button work before you disassembly?

[Device Reviews and Information] mrd.macdonald:
Could you share some picture about LTE Antena pins and Mute button.
[Device Reviews and Information] Alberto96:
Yes, but one of the two pins got broken.

Can't be repaired so easily without resoldering all pins.

LTE Antenna Pins only, I have already reassembled the device.

I have attached some pictures from the Bluboo's Video to indicate how and where they should have been soldered.

[MENTION=5914233]mrd.macdonald[/MENTION] Do you have any new firmware update? My latest review unit has a much newer build than the latest released, 20160827, but i can't find it anywhere.

UPDATE: nvm, got it from Bluboo :)

Hi all, thanks Alberto96 for detailed review. I will get my Maya Max later next week. I will do also a comparison between Maya and Maya Max...

*edit:

arrived today

Good touch smoothness and is more responsive than cheap smartphone (impressive 10 points touch).

Good screen brightness, balanced weight, good notification led in the upper part (not customizable).

Poor sensors cout... proximity, light and accelerometer.

My Max comes with 20160827 rom.. i never seen this release... and no OTA found..

Poor GPS.. only 6 satellites (1 Glonass) but with weak signal and more than 7 meters of accuracy.. (if you don't handle the device gps signal strengt is so low, below 10...)

Wall charger 5V 2A, but Maya Max charge with maximum of 1,4Ah.. .results in about 3h and 30" for a full charge..

25Gb free on internal memory, some garbage apps (not uninstallable, you can only freeze them) launcher Bluboo with some good things... but i prefere something else...

Cpu MT6750 with about 41k points on Antutu, in the middel between MT6753 and Helio P10 MT6755M 1,8Ghz

Need to test other things... so still missing Compass and Gyro..
[Device Reviews and Information] mobeel56:
First issue. Any help would be appreciated.

I had left the smartphone on so the battery drained down overnight. Not an issue, but now the smartphone will not come back on to charge. I’m going to assume it’s either a bad cable they sent as I don’t have another USB Type-C to test with. I did charge it fully, but it had never been drained and charged since after the first time I took it out of the box.

When I plug it into anything, it shows 1% charging, but never goes past that point. Unplug and recheck, still 1%. When plugged into the PC to charge, it make the PC go crazy trying to recognize the device. Just does that in a loop until I unplug.
[Device Reviews and Information] megthebest:
Yesterday i did geekbench battery test, battery was at 0%. Connected to the charger and i have seen something different from 1% after more than 20 minutes. After it took about 3 hours for full charge. Try another usb charger if you can.. [MENTION=2386505]Alberto96[/MENTION]: could you told me how is your gps? mine is very bad.. signal poor, loose signal out of my hand and unisable in some gps apps like maps and waze...

And please can you check if camera is Panasonic MN34153 instead of Sony IMX214?

i have 20160827 rom and my Maya Max doesn't find any update OTA

Official specs says it doesn't. But it's a very common band and chinese official specs have been wrong in the past. I guess you should ba able to tell simply by going in engineer mode.

Hello Guys,

I have a youtube channel and i unboxed the maya max last night! I have got to say that im very impressed with it and would have to agree with [MENTION=2386505]Alberto96[/MENTION] that the speaker is amazing and definitely wouldn't expect that on a budget phone. Excellent build quality too. I also had the leagoo Shark 1 and on 1st impressions the Maya Max wins!

Please check my video on my youtube channel - I cant post it here yet because i need to post 10 times lol!

My channel is called 'Geekystuff' so maybe try searching that.

Why so long to waiting it...:laugh::laugh:
[Device Reviews and Information] megthebest:
Please check GPS as soon as you will get..

On my sample, also watching my review :

https://youtu.be/W8jq2CinZpA

It seems to be very bad, sloooowww fix, signal strength below 18 and loses fix many times. Another issue is related to handle effect on GPS, ot seems that without touching it is also impossible to have fix on gps (signal lower than 10)..

For who have Bluboo Maya Max, please check gps with androits gps test app.

[Device Reviews and Information] mrd.macdonald:
The sky is overcast. It has been raining all day,

Tomorrow if it’s clearing up, I will start to test GPS.

I had compare display screen between Maya Max and Asus Zenfone 6.

the brightness and sharpness of Maya max is excellent,

but some time, it less in display area .

Hope someone or Bluboo software engineer

to make a button-bar more quick disappear

when we take a finger off the screen.

Zenfone 6 is on the top,and set brightness to 100%

while Maya Max set brightness to 70%

please check on your device the GPS with adroits gps fix and real navigation.
[Device Reviews and Information] mrd.macdonald:
It quite best to locate the coordinate quickly.

I don't have a real GPS meter (such as garmin)

So i don't know witch one is accurate.

[youtube]9A80Uwuy10w[/youtube]

Note!

Maya Max 's GPS can point or locate a position on earth only,

Maya Max not have a gyrometer and e-compass,

So, It can not to guide a direction, for a navigation job.

A conclusion ...!!!

Google make money by use the money in your pocket to get and collect your privacy-location-activity.

A test Point is a real place and it located on google map satellite.

Try to press and hold a Power button for 20 sec.

Some time a phone will get a deep sleep mode,

cause from some spy ware or malware from factory OS.

It look like normal power off state, but when you plug a power cord,

it no any reaction from the phone.

But some time, if you see your wifi router's LED ,

it will blink all time with high frequency.

That mean spyware still work hard,

to stole your phone information and send it back to someone.

Hallo everybody,

I have Maya Max with the latest original firmware (DK9F23WAE.LTXI.H.SCS8.0419.V3.07) and did not try to root the device or change anything related to audio setup.

When I try to use Maya Max for VOIP calls with Whatsapp or Skype - it works good, the other side (the person I am calling) can hear me as well as when I call directly, i.e. VOIP audio call is very good.

However, when I try to do a Videocall through Whatsapp or Skype or any other Videocall app - the video (picture) is good and I can hear the other side very well.

BUT, the other side can not hear me or hears very badly. I could not find any setup option to increase the microphone volume.

It is the same no matter what Internet speed I have and no matter if it is LTE or WiFi-DSL-connection. As if the phone uses another microphone when I do Video call or a different audio-setup. This is specific to Maya Max since when I use another phone at the same place/time and with the same Internet connection method - the other side can hear me and see me very well (so it is not problem of the I-net connection speed).

Does anybody have an idea why is this happening and how could I solve the problem?

Thanks for your help/suggestions.
