UMI eMAX lollipop discussion

holzi1991

Do remember when we tried out ROMs for the TCL M2M on the eMax? There was even one Android 5.1 ROM for it which was a hackport from the Meizu M1 Note. On my endless search for a solution for the eMax I found this github https://github.com/meizuosc/m463 which claims to contain the source code for the Meizu M1 Note and this github https://github.com/FlymeOS/devices-base/tree/lollipop-5.1 which actually belongs to the developers of the Meizu. Is there any chance that this can be used in some way for our eMax?

Another question: Since Umi is cooperating with TCL for the eMax Mini can't they just ask the TCL guys for help with the eMax Lollipop upgrade?

UMI requested the lollipop upgrade from TCL but they asked a too high price for it. Don't ask me how could it be happened if they were and are still cooperating business partners.

If TCL buys UMI we will have a chance for lollipop upgrade.

Don't blame the traders ... it is still on http://www.umidigi.com/?page-UMIEMAX_Specification.html Supports Lollipop .... This has nothing to do with hoping. It is misleading the customer. The Umi site was the site where I got my information for the specifications.

I think UMI should compensate buyers who are misleaded (all buyers).

That line at the and of the list of specs has been left there by accident, and you know that, of course. I didn't even realized it until now. Your request for compensation is quite acceptable if you bought your phone before August. If you bought it later, you should request it from your reseller if they still advertised the upcoming lollipop upgrade. On the other hand, that would be not easy to specify the amount of that compensation.

Why reseller. Misleading starts at Umi website.  Don't blame others. I based my information about the specifications on the UMI site. Why blaming reseller?

You can not expect that all customers read all the fora. The specs have to be correct. That it is by accident is no excuse.

On september 30th you say that the update is almost done. And you say that it is NOT confirmed that there will be no update. So.. That's much later as you suggest. So all the information is misleading till the start of Octobre.

I'm not an official source of information, just leak what I get known. Of course, you still can wait for the lollipop upgrade since the deadline was never specified on official pages.

Can we get back to making this phone awesome before we try burning their houses down? In an old thread on this forum I stumbled upon a guy who claimed that he got a working mobile connection by using the baseband of a Android 5.0 Lenovo K50 Rom on the TCL Rom from UMI. He even published a screenshot showing the working connection, but unfortunately he was not online for quite a while. Has anyone tried this? I'm not sure if we just didn't noticed it or if he was talking crap.

the update will be later, for me it's not annoying the time she finished by coming, but this unit is anyway very efficient given the price , do not be too require for this price !
