UMIDIGI Z V7.01_20170601 Android 7.1.1 ROM - SPFT + OTA release

BellPego

The only problems I'm facing so far and apparently everyone is facing the same ones.

- The restart button power off the device doesn't restart it
- If you open the S Case it asks to unlock the device and doesn't only show lockscreen
- S case music controls are gone

Everything else is working fine for me.

Super fast, battery is great... Camera while not the best image quality is fast and reliable.

Best phone I've had and one of the cheapest.

I came from a Galaxy S6 Edge to the Umi Z.. No regrets.

Regards and keep up the good work devs.

List of genuine issues (still after flashing):

• Holding down the power button and pressing restart just turns off the phone
• Sliding down the notification panel causes a black screen behind it (this doesn't happen on the lockscreen)
• Camera in other apps (i.e. Snapchat) goes darker on video mode
• Random restarts occur
• Unable to remap the MENU button using switch access (as per the UMIDIGI guide) or with other third party apps that worked before
• Holding down the physical home button doesn't open Google Assistant/Now On Tap - Make the physical buttons mirror the navigation ones

Restart works for me most of the times. For me no problem.

After that upgrade to 7.1 my Umi Z sucked!
Every app is crashing, every time I have to close the apps because they crash, (FACEBOOK, WHATSAPP, YOUTUBE AMONG OTHERS)
Also, my screen has a reddish tint, and all the photos I shoot, it gets a warm tone!
Get it sorted out please, because with Android 6.0 you did not have these bugs.
How can I indicate the brand of you to my friends from Brazil, since my device has several bugs?!

Please flash this update with SP Flash Tool as I requested to do it before reporting any issues.

Despues de realizar el update con SP Flash Tool, todo continua igual de mal, no hay cambio entre wifi y datos moviles y la señal gsm tanto 4G como 3G se pierde en cuanto cruzas una puerta.
adjunto foto de un Umi Super con android 7.0 y el Umi Z con la ultima actualizacion.
los dos de la misma compañia de telefono - Vodafone
los dos con elmismo nivel de bateria +-
los dos en el mismo sitio.
pues como veis uno tiene 4G y el otro no mantiene la señal de 3G, es mas ni la encuentra.
asi pues la solucion de update desde SP Flash Tool no sirve para nada seguimos con el mismo problema, esperemos que pronto den una solucion.

After performing the update with SP Flash Tool, everything continues equally bad, there is no change between wifi and mobile data and the gsm signal both 4G and 3G is lost as soon as you cross a door.
Attached photo of a Super Umi with android 7.0 and the Umi Z with the latest update.
The two of the same phone company - Vodafone
Both with the same level of battery +
Both in the same place.
Because as you see one has 4G and the other does not maintain the 3G signal, is more nor find it.
So the update solution from SP Flash Tool is not good for anything we continue with the same problem, hopefully they will soon give a solution.

It's a very normal behavior if you're staying in a poorly covered area, especially if you're staying indoors. The 3G signal is broadcasted on a higher frequency, that has a lower range, so if your phone switches from 4G to 3G due to the unstable 4G signal, the 3G signal can be even weaker. Just move to a better covered place. The attached photo shows a Z and a Super side by side, both with the latest build version and on Vodafone network.

Creo que no estas entendiendo nada de lo que esta pasando desde la ultima actualizacion de los Umi Z aparte de otros problemas que esta reportando la gente hay que sumar este.
No me refiero a que en zona de buena cobertura el Z no tenga cobertura, el problema es que cuando entras en una zona de media cobertura el Z la pierde por completo ya sea 4G o 3G y no la recupera hasta que vuelves a una zona de maxima cobertura, en cambio el Super mantiene la cobertura bajan do una o dos rayas pero la mantiene.
Creo deberias de informarnos como va el parche para solucionar la gran cantidad de errores que tiene la ultima version en vez de tratar de explicarnos como funciona un movil y la señal 3G, 4G, GSM, GPRs y demas, por lo siguiente: si tengo un movil que funciona OK y envias una actualizacion y lo conviertes en un ladrillo con pantalla, por lo menos deberiais de informar a la gente de una solucion temporal hasta que termineis con el parche para arreglar la situacion, es decir proporciona a la gente una forma sencilla de hacer un downgrade a una version anterior funcional, esto ya lo solicite a principio de semana.
¿PODEMOS INSTALAR LA ULTIMA VERSION DE ANDROID 6?
¿LA VERSION 20170412 INSTALADO CON SP FLASH TOOLS HACE DOWNGRADE Y FUNCIONA?
Seguimos esperando una contestacion a las preguntas y una solucion a la actualizacion.

I think you are not understanding anything that is happening since the last update of the Umi Z apart from other problems that are reporting people have to add this.
I do not mean that in a good coverage area the Z does not have coverage, the problem is that when you enter a zone of half coverage the Z loses it completely either 4G or 3G and does not recover it until you return to a zone of Maximum coverage, while the Super maintains the coverage lower than one or two stripes but maintains it.
I think you should inform us how the patch is going to solve the many errors that have the latest version instead of trying to explain how a cell and 3G signal works, 4G, GSM, GPRs and others, for the following: if I have a Movil that works OK and you send an update and you turn it into a brick with screen, at least you must inform the people of a temporary solution until you finish with the patch to fix the situation, that is to give people a simple way To make a downgrade to a previous functional version, this already requests it at the beginning of the week.
CAN WE INSTALL THE LATEST VERSION OF ANDROID 6?
DOES VERSION 20170412 INSTALLED WITH SP FLASH TOOLS DOWNGRADE AND WORKS?
We are still waiting for an answer to the questions and a solution to the update.

In my case after update (7.1.1) I have the following problems:

-Battery: it drain extremely fast.

-Charging: there isn´t quick charging. Takes many hours to charge the phone.

-Wi-Fi: the Wi-Fi settings keep getting forgotten and the phone can not find any accessible networks. The Wi-Fi is VERY slow. Wi-Fi lose signal and you have to restart the phone to have connection.

- Data: after using Wi-Fi,it won´t connect through mobile data unless you restart the phone.

- Call volume: it is too low.

- After a call, the proximity sensor doesn't light the screen.

- Some apps like twitter and Facebook suddenly stops responding for several seconds. Phone heats up while this is happening. The solution is a reboot.

- Live photos don’t work it stops working.

- Sliding down the notification panel causes a black screen (this doesn't happen on the lockscreen). It is horrible.

I don't think there are problems with my intelligence but
1. I can't reproduce your issue (never), although I checked it on 3 different network (Vodafone, Telekom, Telenor)
2. I can't check your own testing environment.
Please try to discover which 3G and 4G bands are used in your specific area and share the info here. You also can try to hard reset your phone by pressing all the 3 side buttons together until your device turns off. Then reboot it and check if anything has changed. Don't worry, you won't lose your user data.
The developers are aware of some mobile network issues related to some specific networks and they're working on the solution.
You can flash any earlier ROM versions with SP Flash Tool but if you downgrade the Android version as well, you have to flash (overwrite) each partition ('firmware upgrade' mode is recommended), you have to wipe (overwrite) the userdata partition as well, or you'll get unlimited app crashes. In summery, don't keep your user data if you downgrade your Android version.
