Does anybody know when will the umi company wants to deal with the problem of android 7 on umi max?  ...

As the admin said, Umi will not update this device anymore. So, if you don't want to go back to 6, then you should acknowledge the fact that they will not help us, Max users, and deal with the issues of 7. I got back to 6 and I'm sticking with it until I replace this over-rated phone.

Without any apparent reason, today battery life is WAY better.
I'm still at 65% after one hour and half of screen time.
Not awesome but still acceptable.

I don't feel to blame Umi, and i don't know how much phone are hit by this problem (we are always the same people here, talking about it) and, you know, on the forum you can find only people who's having problems, not people who is fully happy of their devices.

In any case, I had to admit that I expected more from this phone.

My back is full of scratches and I can see dust under my screen (I mean, between display and glass), dust make front camera quite useless and back camera will probably "die" soon for the same problem.

After all that I must say that phone is quite fast for the hardware it owns, and this is good.

Why I making something like a review right now? I don't know. I just want to write my overral impression about MAX.

Ok, I did it and guess what? I got ~9h as results of this test.
For screen-on-time it's very good, but what about standby? After maximum 30h for standby time (without Wi-Fi, Bluetooth on or notifications activate) the phone is dead. You said this is a 2-days battery for somebody who use this phone, I guess stand-by time should be longer than 30h, right?

Probably an app (or more) is using the battery in the background on your phone. Here is my standby time result with this latest update:



I can reach about one day more with Marshmallow, that's true.

I keep only WhatsApp and SwiftKey keyboard in background (from the Background apps settings).. I will try to close them and to test again, to see if there is any major difference. Thanks!

But what about UMI OS? Will this phone get any UMI OS update? I think it will be fine.

I think the MAX won't receive a UMI OS update and if you knew how it works now, you wouldn't desire it.

The UMI Max is on the latest update but there´s still two problems:

- The screen turns on and off automatically  without me doing anything every ten seconds
- The battery takes 8 hours to charge.

Can someone please help, specially with the first issue, which ruins battery life?

Thanks

I don't really know much Portuguese, but I guess you are asking how to get the latest updates. The answer is by SPFT, flash the ROM and that's it. Search the forum for the method. At the beginning of every thread containing the updates, there's the instructions. Also, I would answer about the fingerprint scanner issue. It's ok with 7.0, but it can malfunction, depending on the sensor's condition (humidity, etc).

Qual rom do android 7 o sensor biométrico funciona normalmente? Fiz o downgrade para versão 6, mas o leitor continua tentando desbloquear sozinho sem eu colocar o dedo.
