Disclaimer
Please note, experimenting with the system software of your phone may permanently brick it driving to lose your warranty. Important! Retailers are not obligated to deal in warranty with devices ruined by overwriting the system software by the user. Once you have made your smartphone useless by bad flashing and you are not able to recover its factory state, you are not allowed to request your seller to repair or replace your device for free of charge. Furthermore, UMi is not responisible for any damages or data loss caused by flashing a beta ROM provided in the beta secetion of this forum. The software contents provided in the beta section are made or approved by UMi but they do not make the official parts of the device that was sold by your retailer. If the hardware of your UMi Plus smartphone gets damaged due to the bad working of an unofficial software, only reflashing the stock ROM will not reinstate the warranty status of your device.
YOU ARE WARNED!

Beside the obvious risks, theoretically you can anytime go back to a stock Marshmallow ROM by flashing it with SP Flash Tool, even if you've completely bricked your phone. That is also the process you have to do in case if you decide to leave the beta program.

Hi,

Unfortunately you have a hardware issue, that's not related to the OS.

NO, I don't have hardware issue because I have TWO Umi Plus buy from differents official suppliers, and both have the same problem.
If i have a hardware issue in two Umi Plus: UMI have a disastrous quality control process!!!

Even when switched off the navigation bar ponel stays active.

1. It is desirable to add the ability to hold up to the bottom of the screen flashed to all running applications (as a when you press in the menu on the square).
2. When showing all running applications to add trashcan so that you can all at once to complete the task, not to close one by one.
The clock on the main screen (Russian language) is enough space to write the full name of the month.
3. Why lock screen under the clock Set the day and time in the 12 hour format, not the number of the month and year?
4. When you turn off and restart the menu description was not translated into Russian.

A double tap to wake up would be nice.

I very regret your issue but if your problem is not related to the beta version, please post your problem in an other, appropriate thread and I suggest you to record and share a video showing both of your devices while navigating.
I'm alrady over hundreds of kilometers of navigating in the city with a UMi Plus running this beta without any issues.

Fingerprint it's fast another, as soon as marshmallow.
Camera works well. Pro-photo mode works succesfully.
Gps don't test yet, Google maps open app succesfully, but Sygic last version crash from open it.

Gps aps shows "searching signal" 99% of time.
Bad, very bad accuracy (>50meters).

TWRP isn't working anymore with this version, it's impossible to get root access
Update: after several tries, it still works ;-)

Known bug :


Fast charging function doesn't work

-this is not bug, but gesture sensor on camera is very important

- primary functions are running well. (4g,GPS, WiFi, camera,call)

hansch

Used Google account to restore about 200 apps. They are only partly visible in the Apps section, up to M. All apps after that are not visible, but are found using the Google (local) search.

\n\nHi guys and Ben
Could you tell me what is happening with dual sim in beta version of Android 7.0
As I can see that 2 sim cards are in 3G. Is that new system supporting dual sim with 3G and 4G dual standby or one of sim cards needs to be in 2G. If this new system supports dual sim 3G and 4G dual standby that would be very good new future.
And another question could you add calibration option for light sensor?
This percentage option in battery is that what I mentioned for umi super but nobody added this option yet .
Ben I saw you post that not to many people join to android 7.0 beta test and I think that people are interested but firstly you should try with umi super/max as I presume that umi sell way more umi super/max than umi plus .
Probably firstly you want fix android 7.0 to umi plus as umi plus E will be flagship phone for umi and this will be shame if umi super get new system firstly .
But as I said way more testers you could get for umi super/max .

MarcinP

Ben I wish to tell you that you should add 2 functions to camera app.
1. Auto focus on video option
2. On/off voice record on video option.
Please add this option to umi super too.
I writing here because here is more possibilities that you read my post.

Hi,

• Yes, dual 3G/4G standby is supported, you also can use both SIMs for 3G/4G mobile net.
• The light sensor cannot be calibrated, its sensibility has a lower limit, that you cannot change by software tweaking.
• That battery percentage option is available even under Marshmallow at both MAX and Plus. Only the Super is an exception. Hopefully it will change in Nougat.
• The Android 7.0 beta test was my idea at the company and I also recommended from the beginning to start it with the Super since it has much more users and for a beta testing the greater mass the higher efficiency. Other apsects related to marketing were more important.

1. Auto focus on video option ...

1. It's enabled but needs some more tweaking. You can focus anytime by touching the screen at a certain point. With the A Better Camera app auto focusing is already fast and efficient.
2. Probably won't be enabled but you can use any kind of third parti apps (which I mentioned, for example), that are able to not to record audio. Only a very few users need that.
