Fake Camera / Bad GPS

5520

\n\nHello World,

I tried to post at the old forum seeral times but it never worked for me so maybe I'm lucky this time.
After I found a fake 1750 mAh battery on my UMI HAMMER (still got no new battery send or any reactions on my emails)
I have serious doubts regaring UMI's claim of the  13 MP Camera. So I checked with MTK Engineer Mode. T[size=14.3000001907349px]he backside cam is an 8 MP cam
[size=14.3000001907349px]interpolated to 13 MP. To be exact it's an OmniVision 8858 1/4-inch 8 MP image sensor (see here: [size=14.3000001907349px]http://www.ovt.com/products/sensor.php?id=139).
[size=14.3000001907349px]The frontside cam is a 1/5-inch GalaxyCore gc2755 2.1 MP image sensor interpolated to 3.2 MP.




Next Problem is the poor GPS reception in combination with any navigation app like MAPS or Navigator. I'm using faster GPS but it does not help at all.
When I’m in open space, outside car, no clouds, good weather, turn on GPS and observe returned positions in the loop, looks GPS return rough positions that are sometimes moved about 5 – 50 meters from my physical position. And yes I flashed the newest Android 4.4.4 rom available at Rootjoy.

So UMI please tell me a solution for my problems.

Best regards

Lorre

If you have jumping GPS position, then try to use only GPS for positioning.
With additional antenna mod i get indoor up to 8 satellites.

I get the feeling UMI does not even bother to answer their customers. Thanks to this post my suspicion was right indeed about the camera. I knew this couldn't be a 13mp camera. It's socks big time!! I really love the rest of the device and tested GPS once and it worked. Maybe not perfect but it got me from point a to b so.
I have been thinking of replacing the camera with a better one but I was having a lot of trouble searching for the kind of camera that was in this device. Perhaps because they didn't want people to find out.  
I'll be trying to change the camera since I have a bunch of spare ones here soon but if some of you are interested follow gizchina FB page. I'll be posting results over there since this forums sucks haha.
