Hello! Can anyone confirm that 4G+ is working on this device? (Carrier Aggregation). With the same sim in a galaxy phone I have 4G+ (425 mb/s download) but with Z2 Pro only 4G (110 mb/s download). Umidigi said this device is supporting LTE Cat 7 with 300 mb/s. Thank you!

Thought I'd got my camera working now I was back on 0823 but just realized it won't focus at all. Tried different camera apps but the main camera will not adjust its focus.

You can guide me to factory reset my z2pro, I get the menu in Chinese.

I have the same problem, with 0830 camera did not worked, with 0823 do not focus. But I never tried the camera just arrived the phone.

Do you remember if with the original, the camera focus was working properly?. Thanks.

I am not sure if I have the same fault as everyone on "wrong pin" and "wrong pattern".

Yes my phone refuses to accept the previously accepted pin or pattern and locks itself out after a reboot but when using a password my phone works normally.

Thus after I do a factory reset I stay away from using pin or pattern and use only the password.

I can now start the phone with a password and unlock it anytime with fingerprint or face recognition.  If both fail the password can unlock the phone so my Z2 Pro is now 100% usable and functional. I only need to start up the phone with the password.  Thereafter fingerprint or face recognition can get to my home page unlocked.

Just wonder if others can use the phone in the same way while waiting for an update.

Yes my phone ...

It does not work, tried it for testing purposes (only password and nothing else), was locked out of the phone after first reboot, had to do factory reset from recovery....

I'm giving in waiting now, still suffering from no security, a camera that will not focus, constant wifi drops and lac of any response from Umi regarding a fix. It's time to start battle with Gearbest in sorting out a return.

Felix123,

I try the password route because a forum user here suggested it worked for him.  In my case I can use the z2 pro  normally by staying away from the pin and pattern.  Can your phone work without the security option (just by swipe)?

Empzurg,

Does your phone work with password option?  It is better than having no security at all.

On camera I tried to test the focusing ability of my Z2 pro.  In close up shots mine can focus if the distance is greater than 100mm from the object. My S2 pro on the other hand can be closer to 50mm.  in normal shots the Z2 pro is no much different from my S2 pro but the images are definitely clearer due to more megapixel in the Z2 camera (S2 13MP+5MP) against Z2 16MP+8MP) .  I also tried the same hand held shot with my old G10 Cannon camera which produced image nowhere near as sharp as the two UMI phones.
