UMI eMAX lollipop discussion

DANIBOY77

\n\nThe problem is that on the product page of umi is the Emax with lollipop ...
and is sold everywhere as running lollipop ...

UMI always indicates the update in the specifications of Emax (5.0) , so what, they lie for sell ?

Emax with lollipop (specs) :

We know complaints from all eMAX users about Lollipop update. The great error from UMI maybe was to  ...

So UMI promised the potential buyers that it would upgrade that specific product because it thought, let's emphasize the THOUGHT, it's supplyer would give free access?

One of the UMI's best products it's based on thought.... "I think therefore I am..."

That's the main diference between chinese and western companies... Western companies don't think... They make sure that will happen!

In the meanwhile, we have a great phone (better than some of the new models of UMI) with un outdated OS! All because they don't want to pay their supplyer because they thought the supplyer would provide what they wanted by the goodness of their heart!

this is not a promise, it is written black on white in the specifications ...in the umi website / Emax specifications....

Well UMI could still sue TCL or Mediatek for violating the GPL to get the Lollipop source code, but chinese smartphone developers usually seem to ignore this fact. Actually, we could sue them for not releasing the source code of our eMax, but who got the time and money for that...
UMI could solve the hole Lollipop situation by paying the right people. But now, after everyone has already bought their phone, they can make more money by getting the Emax users to buy one of their countless new phones.

Well in certain way, is a promise because was specified, but you are right is specified in eMAX specifications and until will not be true, should be removed.

DANIBOY77, I don't even mention that... I'm talking about what the user/administrator UMI_Angel wrote about UMI eMAX.

I know that they still advertise the product with a Lollipop update, but I bought my eMAX 17th of August with that same promise...

Still waiting... and by the looks of it I might as well get a comfortable seat...

Well, I for one just wait for efox-shop to get the Emax Mini again, before trying to my money back, to get myself a Mini.

\n\ncheap products , efficient (at least powerful enough) , a forum dedicated to the task perfect, a Rom Flash application perfect, there in a few small areas for improvement , the passage of Emax to the rom lollipop is an evidence of good choice for the futur to umi... respect the specification devices promises ! For me , I bought thinking with lollipop, if the update does not come, game over umi !
but will be patient...

I guess they don't have it but I can ask them about that (for some leaked info) if you want.

If you get some Info let me know! I will get right at developing cyanogen for KitKat.

I do not care about legal rights with Mediatek or others, if UMI advertised eMax as having a Lollipop in the near future they just have to deliver it, end of story.

Instead of releasing worse smartphones every hour UMI should be worried on deliver what they promised when launched UMI eMax on Summer.

Shame on you UMI, the hardware is top notch (on eMax of course) for the price but with this kind of official support, leading costumers to a lie you should close doors in a flash.
