Hi I just bought this phone, come in to share your experience on rooting and many more features inbuild in this beast.
I was pretty interested in the inbuilt antenna did anyone exploit it ?
Has anyone solve the video call , roaming issue, which prevent you from using.
I root my phone via this link

I guess, as all other Korean version of Samsung phones, this phone has problem with SMS more than 70 chars and multipart SMS?
Also, this phone comes with two lame colors making it out of my interest
I'm waiting for I9506 with traditional black color. Well, kind of black, but anyway better than blue or red.
The latest firmware solve the issue. I have tried no issue for me,,,

This is not an issue. This is the standard for Korean mobile network operators. Nothing to fix there. Probably, you didn't understand what i meant.
Can you send SMS with, let's say 300 characters? both latin and non-latin symbols?
Thanks for the info... I know what u mean after 160 character, it should split into two SMS.
I have tried for more than 300 character, it will sent as MMS.

May be it's possible to fix it using some parts from I9506 firmware if E330S doesn't have too much hardware differences in modem connections.
Actually, I'm very familiar with this problem because I've used SHV-E210K for more than a year. I've succeed to use whole I9300 firmware with some framework patch and few libraries from E210 firmware. But since it's very tricky and not exactly will work for E330S, I'm not confident to buy this phone, although I can buy it here in Taiwan without much hassle and for a good price.
I still hope I9506 will widely spread later this year, so i don't have to mess with Korean firmware anymore
Well actually I dun use SMS that often now... it is really useless to me.... everyone is in watsapp and other application for chatting.
I hope someone could solve the video calls and update of software still prompting required of SKT SIM and ROAMING not allowed.
the mcc and mnc is hardcoded into the firmware.

Yeah, there are lot of SKT (in my case it was KT) things are hardcoded in firmware(framework) of Korean version. That's why I've decided to move to I9300 firmware with patches instead of trying to patch E210K firmware.
I agree that SMS is not as important as it was before, but still in some cases you cannot replace it by whatsapp or other internet messengers. Still many people i know don't use mobile data plans. So, SMS is the only way to send the message to these people. The problem with SMS even worse when your communicate in non-english language where you limited by only 70 unicode characters. For example, in Russian language with its usually long words is really hard to fit sentences into 70 characters
Hi guys

The above link is how I use to root my SHV-330S
I'm curious if dimensions of E330S are exactly as I9500/I9505?
My E210K is a little thicker than I9300 making almost all hard cases incompatible.
Also, curious if back cover and its hooks of E330 is compatible with I9500/I9505? I know about antenna corner cut (which is easy to make), but besides this back cover of E210 has completely different hook positions than I9300 making covers completely incompatible.
I have some kind of itching I want SD800 version, but don't wanna wait for I9506. But having experience with complete absence of accessories for SGS3 SHV-E210, i don't want to loose accessories again.

Exactly.
By the way I'm happy that I bought the e330s. Speed, 32gb, charger and second battery are worth the trouble to impoprt it from Korea. All is as I hoped it would be. The only drawback is that I didn't figure out how i get NFC working.
My nfc is ok

My I9500 came with 32GB, second battery and charger as well. The only difference for me will be Snapdragon vs Exynos. I hate the way Samsung did by splitting market to two incompatible devices. Although Exynos is very competitive comparing to SD600, game developers don't bother to tweak their games to Exynos version.
While Exynos is more interesting by CPU (i wanna wait to see if 5410 will get HMP support or not) and better sound, i want to have well supported device, i.e. SD version. Although i don't care of CM/AOSP/GE ROMS.
Well, going to order E330S in Black Mist color. I've found such version!
SD800 is pretty insane in term of performance... u wun get any phone that is purely make in korean, even for the battery.

sounds like you got a knock-off of it and not a genuine tab. Or possibly not the tab 2.
what is the model number listed in settings?
Not so, it's was from carphone warehouse, it's genuine alright, but i expect it's cos it's a UK version or summat. Also, changing connection sorted the downloads out. Which is odd, cos i have two other android devices that work fine with my home network.

Cheers for clearing that up tho
It appears only the us models have the ir blaster. I also bought the device based on the reviews, as the manual is not included, samsung should make a spec change like this clear. Still i love the tablet.
Yup, gotta be honest, for the wedge, it's great. Only thing lacking is the camera but i really don't think I'll be using it anyway.

I purchased a Galaxy Samsung Tab 2 7 inch 3G P3110 version in Singapore. There isn't any IR blaster port either.
There isn't much use for the IR blaster, not for me anyway. Samsung hasn't released the code for it, so the tablet is essentially a P3110 once a custom ROM is installed.

Nice ^ And the remote feature does not work for me, everything else is perfect i think, just the remote control
Edit, After watching your test instead of Mayiandjays you tought me how to use the remote, thank you
I guess this is the Note 3 clone post (only one!?!) so I'll ask my questions here! My phone is similar, but I think we'll all have a hard time finding "real" specs as you will soon see...
Have any of the rest of you tried any benchmarking/info apps to find out your real CPU/GPU/RAM specs yet?
My phone came with a (locked) version of Antutu that I think was hacked to show better scores and info. I rooted the phone (with Framaroot) and deleted the old version, installed a new version from the Play Store, and installed CPU Identifier. Antutu still miss-read the specs, but CPU Identifier gave a more realistic picture. (but not perfect)
The original Device Info screen: imgur.com/Js8e4FI or see "deviceinfo.png" below
Antutu's (still incorrect) device info screen: imgur.com/0OMilGl or see "antutu.png" below
CPU Identifier gave me a more realistic view of the processor, but still incorrectly shows 3GB of RAM: imgur.com/caapx2o or see "cpu identifier.png" below
Do any of you know an app that can show how much RAM this device actually has?
The processor seems to have confused Antutu and CPU Identifier as well since Antutu thinks its a quad-core Snapdragon, and CPU Identifier thinks its a dual-core MediaTek processor but says that the GPU is incorrect for the model it thinks it is.
I guess it will be a while before we know if any custom rom will work on these phones, but it would be nice to be able to use Xposed. I'm a little worried about trying it, but I'll probably get impatient soon and try it. It would be nice to at least know what rom is actually on it, as I think that info has been faked as well. I've tried to see if I can get any better info from the factory mode menu, (power + vol. down while booting), but it's all in Chinese: imgur.com/ivDFE4s or see "screencrap.png" below. Does anyone know what it says or how to change it to English?
---------------------------------
Okay, now the good news:
-It's actually a good phone for the price! I payed the equivalent of around $110 for it last weekend.
-The screen is bright and responsive, similar to the videos in this thread.
-The back of the case is branded like Mayiandjay's.
-The S pen is similar to the other pens. It looks almost exactly like the Samsung, with a fake button on it. The S pen menu only appears when you take the pen out, and I don't think the menu can be moved around the screen.
-It had the same desktop layout as the videos, but I think I lost some of that (and apps?!?) when I did a factory reset from the settings menu. I lost the Samsung boot up screen, (now it's an Android ani), and I don't seem to have the remote control app.
-The air gesture worked well (a bit better than s7yler's), and smart screen paused movies when I looked away.
-Multi window didn't work, but there is an app dock tab on the left side of the screen.
-It seems to get good signal and 3g, but I don't know about 4g. (we don't have that here)
-It is USB 2 with the fake USB 3 ports like the others.
-The Play Store is in the Galaxy Plus Icon/menu
-The resolution isn't what Antutu reports (1080x1920!) but I think CPU Identfier's 540x960 is correct, or it might be a bit better.
-The camera is only 8 megapixels, but that's okay, I don't take many pictures.
-While I don't think the phone has 3GB of RAM, the closest I've found to what might be more accurate is through using Usemon. While monitoring the RAM, it seemed to show about 1.5GB, but that might have been faked too.
All in all, it seems to be a good phone. I think s7yler's and Mayiandjay/Christopher.J.M's are better if they are actually quad-core, but until I can find an app I can trust or until I can change the rom, I don't think any of us can say what the specs are with confidence. This phone seems better than the other clones I tried out, so I'm happy with it.
U only have a dualcore phone friend

Paying tax/custom control all depends on how luckly you are! With some of my orders, DHL delivered without any extra, while with others DHL contacted me and wanted bank or paypal proof of the value. There is no bullet proof rule that you can use. It is random if they stop your package when it comes from China.
The ROM is smooth, and the battery life is really good! seems to be near real 3200mAh.

Hello,

Hi, I have a main Note 4 (N910C), and few months ago a friend gift me another Note 4 N910F dead.
I changed the main board with N910C motherboard, it cost me in ebay 99eur., I needed to change the two cameras too, the orginal cameras not run with N910C motherboard, are cheap the cameras. May be flashing firmware cameras were a solution, I dont know.
good luck,
Ok thank you for your response.
Hey.
Parts from one model are not combatible with a motherboard from a different model. It's a hardware issue and can't be fixed with software.
I've to pass from F to T version lately. They are quite the same, but..
you can't flash anymore software, bootloaders, modems, modded ROMs etc. from previous model. Seems evident, but .. I discovered sadly the my software sources become inadequate, only different ROM can be used, often .. few steps behind the generic F version.
I've had some trouble in searching for BL and CP, and many many others trying to adapt RR Rom from F to T.
That was my experience. Better go toward more .. widespread models. F is the best, for me.

Do yourself a favor and find a 910C motherboard. I had an 910F with problematic motherboard and switched it for an 910C one. I had it repaired in a store and at first camera was not working, but they fixed it.
It seems that 910Fs sooner or later will have problems with their motherboard, 910Cs seem that they don't.
Good Idea

I prefer the original 910F version. It is apparently possible to reverse the motherboard references, but if it is too complicated, I prefer the original.

I'm from France and I can send different type of payment including payment in crypto currencies.

Good morning,
If I can trust you, I'm willing to buy it for you.
Tell me how much it would cost me.
Sincerely
Romain
Has anyone started to work on ROM for this phone, looking at the spec of this phone looks promising, it has a large battery capacity which is great but look at battery test for this phone it looks like stock software is not optimized, so just wondering if the community is willing to help optimize or any advise

the review of low configuration umidigi S2 you can see on Youtube
I've got the regular S2 for a couple of weeks now. It's a good phone with some downsides. Camera is not fantastic but good enough for everyday stuff. If you want amazing photos buy a flagship. Proximity sensor doesn't turn off screen properly while in a call, maybe fixed in future version. One of the major networks in Germany does not work for mobile data in most cases (O2 and Eplus joined and the phone can't handle the "data roaming").
Tech support is non existant. They will point you to their half chinese forums with barely any members that is spammed with press releases. Posting takes dozens of "money" that you must unlock with posts. Very unprofessional but maybe expected for such a relatively small company. There are no service addresses for repairs and the accessories market for that phone is very very limited. Barely any cases or screen protectors out there. If you break anything on this phone expect to get a new one. I have not tried yet but to get replacement parts for this seems near impossible at this point.
Other than that, screen is great for the resolution. Battery life is absolutely brilliant. I can get through a full day with using <40% battery and it lasts easily 3+ days on pure standby.
Wifi has become much better I think after the last firmware update. They are updating the phone but I wonder for how long. This is not a manufacturer that can or wants to support all of it's devices like big ones do.
Materials are good, maybe a bit slippery in the hands but all microblasted aluminium phones are like that.
Screen has a <1mm bezel between the side of the phone and the display surface but I don't care about that.
Build, to me, feels very good. Fingerprint sensor works well and fast. Android is 6.0.1 but I hope they will have an update to 7 or 8 at some point.
I don't care about benchmarks so I can't talk about that, my apps work well. Video streaming is fluid. No idea about 3D gaming I don't use my phone for that.
For that price it's a great phone imho.
Have just pre-ordered this device. Will wait to see what comes, hopefully able to unlock the bootloader and remove any bloatware that comes pre-installed.
It exist a custom rom for s2? I'd like
It has poor camera, other things are very good
What kind of custom could fix in it? Paranoid android?

Apparently it's possible to install TWRP on this Umidigi S2 :
https://www.getdroidtips.com/root-twrp-umidigi-s2-s2-pro/
I don't have Umidigi S2 to test but I'm very interested by the S2 Pro.
Perhaps it is possible to install Lenovo SNAPit Camera in order to improve the photos by flashing it with TWRP ? :

This post was a cut and paste from another phone.
Now the link for the custom recovery is available. I will probably give it a try just to be able to root the phone.
As of today, there is no available custom ROM available for the umidigi s2, although you can find posts on how to revert back to the stock ROM. Those posts are also just cut and pasted from other phones sharing the same cpu

I just tried that and while the recovery installs my phone wouldn't boot afterwards. Maybe because I have the main partition encrypted but maybe for another reason.
Also for me the screen was flipped 180 degrees probably due to a backwards display in this phone.

Still early days I wouldn't personally try it but I'm sure in time this phone will get Dev support , I had some feed back from umi on there FB page regarding update to 7/8 they said there waiting on MediaTek's to release source or sdk as this P20 chip was built around Android 6 at the time and the P25 around 7 that's why pro ships with 7 that's what they said , also mentioned an update coming with a week but more likely bug patch still on Jan 2017 security , not the best look on a 2017 phone 2015 os

Hi
Please check and correct me If I am wrong. According to UMI claimed that the first batch of S2 v1 come with non up gradable processor and hence, you can only maintain at Marshmallow version ie. Android 6 while S2 v2 (so called 2nd batch) can be upgraded to Android 7 (no idea to Android 8???). So guys, please check directly with UMI on this issue. I am thinking of getting the S2 Pro but would like UMI to confirm whether same issue with S2 v1 ???? Cheer s -

Below is the info extracted from Umidigi Forum lately .......
"Quote" They said the first batch of S2 will keep on Android 6 (there will be some updates, but nothing of update to Android 7). So the second batch of S2 and the S2 Pro will come with UMI OS Android 7. Anybody received handset with android 7.0 what date are the V2 or is that just referring to the Pro , mine is due 23/11 ordered 16/11 wondered if it will be V2 model with 7.0. Seems odd 2017 handset shipping with 2015 software .... Phone i received week ago got Android 6 so its V1. That will not work on the first v1 of Umidigi S2 sadly. It's made for MT6757D (S2 v2).
How ever there are phones out there already with MT6757 (Not MT6757D) will be on Android 7.0. "Unquote"
Hope this clear some of your thoughts. Thank you.

S2 version 1 coming with Android 6 and can't be updated to higher android version.
S2 version 2 will be coming with Umidigi OS based on Android 7. Further updates are not confirmed.
S2 pro is coming with Umidigi OS based on Android 7. Further updates are not confirmed.

So I made a quick unboxing and hands-on in 2K resolution and 60FPS:

Any questions? I have the device and I'm happy to answer.
I'll do an in depth review after 1 week of usage.
I've seen a few people specifically mention "ceramic edition", but I though all variants were ceramic this time?

Probably true, I was also confused. In end of March I was reading news regarding the 6GB vs. 8GB variants, and the Chinese websites keep saying the 8GB variant was specifically ceramics. I think in the end all variants are ceramic, but it added to the confusion. Is anyone with a 6GB variant able to confirm this?
Are you using the Global version? I've seen some reviews (with the Chinese version) and it seems video recording sound is pretty bad, also for in-call audio. Could you confirm?
Also, I think it comes with a case, right? How is it? Does the camera still stick out with the case?

I like your video but had to turn off sound, because the music was beyond awful. Next time, please choose something neutral. Classical always works.

Thanks. Unfortunately for monetized videos the selection of music is very limited due to copyright problems. Almost all classical music is copyrighted, so I did a quick search on copyright free background beats and took the first one.
Next time I may simply speak instead of having music. But English is not my native language, and I hate my voice =)
Thanks for the feedback

I appreciate your sentiment, but there may be misunderstanding here. All classical music (not neo or modern but old school) is public domain and not copyrighted, because classical music has been created more than 70 years ago. Certain performances by certain artists may be copyrighted, but the vast majority of classical music is completely free to use. Moreover, and this is a guess but I think a good guess, automatic algorithms by Youtube couldn't distinguish between royalty free and copyrighted classical music.

Thanks. I meant the performances of course which are under copyright. I do sampling and beat production in my free time and had to hire a sample Clearance service for the songs i sold.
Moreover i cater to a very homogeneous target audience which isn't really into classic music. Currently a lot of tech channels are using "casey neistat type beats". That's exactly what i did in my video. Sorry if it didn't fit your taste, next time I simply usey voice instead of music. Haha
Fair enough.

Well, I got mine fairly overpriced, but instantly, when going to MBK in Bangkok. There's one shop that imports Xiaomi and other brands form China and sells them here. They had exactly one White 256GB variant... Black was available for 100 USD less.

My Mix2S was 6GB /128GB, it's white ceramic. It looks like yours, there's silver aluminium frame as well.
I'd got mine from MBK too.
Well, I'm sure I overpaid as well, but I went cheap. 6gb of ram and 64 of storage. Which is enough for me. In black.
720ish CAD from gearbest. Global version.
I can confirm that at least with my carrier Koodo (same as Telus) I get LTE and LTE+ (although it shows accurately as 4G and 4G+)
It's nice, but I wish the face recognition and Google assistant were working properly.

Well, global version just means that it supports most of the existing bands around the world, but the other variants do still support quite a few. Perhaps what you have is not a global version, but it still supports the bands that you need. Why did you say that yours was global, was it advertised as global?
I'm not an expert on Google Assistant but I have played with it quite a bit on previous phones and on my current Pixel XL. I may be able to help, if luck has it, to troubleshoot your particular problem. What are you trying to do and what isn't working, precisely?

It WAS advertised as global version. It comes with the global rom, with Google play and all that.
Maybe it is some other version that they flashed with the global rom, is there a way to check?
For the assistant. While it's sitting on a table, screen off. I say OK Google, and nothing happens. It's supposed to light up and let me talk to the assistant.
My LG G6 does it fine.
Also, I can't find the settings for face unlock.

I honestly don't know if there's an easy way to check aside from trying the phone with a carrier that is supported on global but not on others. Perhaps through some logcat info or maybe there's an app, I don't know. Maybe another user could answer.

The phone definitely should have hardware to use lower power microphone to listen to voice commands with screen off. That is a standard feature of the 845 chipset. It may be disabled, though I doubt it. Are you sure you set it up correctly? I had a whole helluva time setting up a brand new Galaxy S9 today, but trying to do the opposite of what you want - no voice recognition with screen off, but voice recognition with screen on. The settings were buried by Google, and it took a few minutes to find them.
UPDATE: BTW, there must have been a very recent Google Assistant update recently, because things are now behaving differently from what I remember. You might want to try to experiment setting up the assistant and turning it off several times over to get the proper behavior - I just tried to set up my Pixel XL assistant 30 seconds ago and I couldn't. Gonna play with it myself.
As for face recognition, it's like this:
Settings/Security & Location/Smart Lock/Trusted Face. In your firmware, "Security & Location" may be "Security and Lock screen" or something similar.
Update 2: I can no longer set up Google Assistant with this new software the way it used to work with old software . Even though I did it today on the S9.
I am baffled... maybe bugs?
Here's what you need to do though for your goal.
Settings/Google/Search/Voice/Voice Match --- enable "Access with Voice Match," enable "Unlock with Voice Match." You should be set.
Yeah, I'll play with the assistant some more. I am aware of how to set it up, but I'll play a bit with it.
I literally don't have that option for face unlock. If I remember correctly, that's the Google version. I thought xiaomi had their own version built in, maybe something they left out of the global rom?

The global rom is not yet available on the Xiaomi website, so we cannot say whether it's bugs and missing features yet. The fact that you don't have the "Trusted Face" option in Google settings or the Xiaomi variant of this feature makes me think that you have an incomplete rom that will probably be updated to rectify these issues in the future.
