Hi,
So far I'm not an umi smartphone user & I'm looking to buy umi rome x. Since you already umi rome x user I would like to know whether it supports touch free smart gesture. Because it's mentioned in umi rome x official website specification. But when checked with gearbest they said it doesn't support tuoch free (air gesture). Please let me know about this feature. I'm looking to buy this one. Thank you in advance.

I confirm. My UMI rome X doesn't see 5ghz wifi AP.
This phone is advertised everywhere as wifi 5ghz compatible, and it is not?
Can anyone confirm?
firmware v3.05

The antennas problems with Umi is commom to all versions, included GPS, 4G and WI FI. The problem is very simple to solve. The problem is that the WI fi , 4G and GPL antennas that are on the internal mother board plastic cover inside Umi, are not enought pulled up to touch on the other part of the Umi specific hardware in motherboard once you close this plastic cover. Solution is open it and pull up a little bit each of this pieces of metal atachhed to the motherboard antennas plastic cover.

May be Umi factory employees are not real Umi employees, they are sub contracted factorys to lower the production prices at Umi levels. And you know this guys maybe give bonus if an employee surpass a certain productivity, and they dont bother to loose time pulling up a little bit more each antenns because it will take more time... ;0(

You need to remove 1st cover, then this cover and you will see pieces of metal that are not enought up to touch the hardware connections of wi fi, 4g and Gps in the mother board, so once you close this cover you will see this pieces of metal dont touch it or stay only very close to it.

With an precision knife like X-act or other you need to pull this pieces of metal a little up on a way that they touch the hardware once you close it.

After this my GPs started worked more faster and accuratly then ever and 4G internet speed and ping goes to the roof . Amazing !

I have here some you tube videos explain how to open this cellphones and solving the antenna problem as well in a Umi model . In the side of the hardware motherboard it is written Gps . . .

Hello. I bought recently Umi Rome X and also have problems with the WIFI.
The signal is very weak, hard connects.
As the phone is very close to the antenna ruotera (TP-LINK), the Umi catches the signal.
As soon as it moves away 2m it immediately breaks the connection!
I stripped and checked the phone call just like in the post: 4 #

Unfortunately, I did not help, it is still very weak signal WIFI.
Do you have any other ideas how to fix this problem ??

Hello,
I have exactly the same problem as Marcin. I'm hesitating to apply the trick given in the you tube video, because I'm really not sure that GPS antenna and Wifi antenna are the same. I really doubt so. Does anyone know where the wifi antenna is located on this Umi Rome X model ? Help appreciated.
