I really don't understand this Cam behaviour because I don't have this effect on my device.

Try and use not the stock camera app but for example open camera and you will see the bad results.

Camera is a big negative for this phone.
Also phone idle in battery drain

Edited by chaoscreater at 2016-6-23 09:29 \n\n Edited by chaoscreater at 2016-6-23 09:27 \n\nGuys, Phone Idle is most likely due to the use of the fingerprint unlock. This is caused by either the EINT or ttyc0 wakelocks, found in betterbatterystats.

In one of those 2 threads, wifi is also mentioned as one of the possible issues. We had a wifi wakelock prior to the June 16th build, so this would make sense as it's probably not fixed.

This is a Mediatek chipset issue, but UMI should have done a proper QA to test all this. I should've bought the Xiaomi Note 3 Prime Pro as it's only a few dollars more and has the Snapdragon 650 chipset, which scores way higher than the Mediatek P10.

Anyway, firmware updates might fix these bugs but at the moment, I recommend turning off wifi when you're not using it (if you're rooted, can find apps that do this for you automatically at certain times) and don't use the fingerprint unlock for now (which is stupid, I know).

UPDATE:

Confirmed that fingerprint sensor is the ttyc0 wakelock. If you enable fingerprint unlock, it doesn't necessarily mean the wakelock will occur. If fingerprint unlock is enabled and you restart your phone and do not use it, wakelock doesn't go up. It's only when you use it for the first time upon phone bootup, that the wakelock will keep rising. If you then try to disable the fingerprint unlock, it doesn't stop the wakelock. You have to restart the phone.

In other words, the wakelock kicks in as soon as you touch the fingerprint sensor on the back, but only if you feel that it vibrates (which means it's in use). If you never use the fingerprint unlock in the first place and you touch it, it doesn't respond and that won't trigger the ttyc0 wakelock.

On an unrelated note, one other weird bug I found is that you can't freeze the Wireless (FOTA) Update system app. You can freeze it in Titanium Backup, but upon restarting the phone it unfreezes itself. I want to freeze it because it shows up under betterbatterystats and tries to fetch new updates, despite me setting it to check for update weekly instead of daily.

It's not all about snapdragon scoring higher.. 2 different Soc and architecture each one has benefits over each other.

The Camera issue is entirely software because they use the same camera in Ulefone Vienna. I suggest ...

I don't have a Ulefone Vienna. I checked a comparsion made by Ulefone and in that comparsion you can see that Ulefone Vienna performs better than Umi Super. The Camera is bad and the pictures are dark. If you read the forum you see that I'm no the only one having the problem with the camera.

Try and use not the stock camera app but for example open camera and you will see the bad results.

I'm coming from a UMI Touch, and i already know the flaws of the stock camera app which i don't like because it's too bright and has a preview that makes me seasick.  So i already looked for another third party camera app in the past.

I have two other third party camera apps on the Super (Snap Camera & FV5).  I even tried "Open Camera"(which i don't like either from my experience with the UMI Touch).  All three apps have similar preview brightness on my Super, i can't reproduce what you show on your picture and have a dark preview in a room with normal light circumstances.

I started a test in a darker room with all apps.  The Super stock camare app's preview had the more brightness.  But the stock camera was the only one not using the flash for the picture which finally was not nice.  The preview on the three other apps was dark indeed, but in relation with the real light level of the room.  "Snap camera" and "Open camera" finally used the flash and the picture was ok.

I will stick to "Snap Camera" with fixing the preview FPS to 30.  For me it's the best compromis in speed / quality.
"Google Camera" is also good but a bit buggy on UMI Phones.

WhatsApp is not working! Sending/Receiving messages only works for a few minutes. Need to do a reboot of the mobile phone. Very annoying.
