UMI SUPER GPS PROBLEMS

FreierMensch

Hello guys,
you all cry because the GPS.
Read the beginning of the Tread
I have had the same problems but after I dont use the case with the silver stripe it is better.
Also I have done the software check

http://forum.xda-developers.com/ ... 465336#post67465336

and open it to check the hardware pin and now my GPS is ok.
I have had the same problems like the most here. The GPS lost every 10 sec and also it was 100-500 m away. Not to use. But now it is ok.  To drive I use Here Maps.
Dont worry be happy

I just want to let the community and UMI Co know that I have the same issues with GPS.
I think it is unacceptable from the company to allow this happen.
I think much MORE people experienced gps problems with umi super, much more then wrote here.

Just  compare how much views has this thread with others topics.
7000 views to 100 average views of other topics.
And 128 post to average 10 post per thread.

this statistics says: "Hey guys I have the same issue!!!"


UMI! Please think of it!
If the problem can be fix you are doing it too slow!

Escalating this will cause you future loyalty and reputation lose.
Information circulates more intensively than you think. If 7000 people (netizens) know it, then YOU multiply it on 10x. Tomorrow on 100x....

... and the GPS problem is not only on the Umi Super but seams to be a problem of "most" of your devices!

total agreed.

Most of us participating in other forums. In them we talk our experience with the UMI.

UMI Super is a good phone, but with many problems to solve and questions about the features.

But I believe that for many of us the biggest question are: the UMI will be or not able to solve.

The posture of silence does not help. Anyway ...

Umi Super Could be a good phone but Umi have to solve some basic issues before:
-3G-4G signal
-GPS signal
-battery drain

without solving these BASIC problems we can not speak of a phone, obviously.

then there is the camera issue...

I had a Zopo 999 which has a plastic back with the GPS antena attached.  It initially worked but later became totally useless.  I suspect the contact with the antena progressively got loosened. That was the reason I chose UMI Super.

I have not experienced any problem with the GPS which I used to drive to and from work so far.  The satellite check has showed up 5 to 6 satellites.  I live in UK and use a paid Sat Nav system called Sygic and can confirm the system works perfectly as I can see the car moving slowing all the time while driving.

On the 4G signal I have no problem either.  I say this relative to my Zopo 999 which I have used in USA, Canada, Austria, Malaysia, UK and Hong Kong.  I have yet to test the UMI Super overseas but I got not issue with it.  I have a BT sim card using the local 4G network which I could access both at home and at work.  My home is at the border of the 4G network so I can see the signal occasionally drops but that is on par with my previous Zopo 999.

Battery drain is more of a management issue to me but UMI Super with a 4000Mah last a lot longer than my Zopo 999 with a 2700Mah battery which is replacable whereas UMI Super isn't.  UMI Super does have fast charging.  I run a 200GB MicroSDXC card so it drains the battery fast whenever I use the data inside with thousands of photos and videos.  If I am careful with the App and avoid leaving them in the background the battery lasts a lot longer.

That is my verdict for having the phone for about a week.  Overall it has proved a good buy.

Reading the forum it seams there is a batch of about xxxx Phones with a lot of problems and other batch with no problem at all. Umi is this real? If yes you've Just to organize a recall in order to regain/incerase your credibility.
