Z - Android 7.1.1

Hi, i wanted to point out that when I use adaptive brightness, the lowest brightness is very low (which is good). But when I put adaptive brightness off and manually go to the lowest brightness, the lowest brightness is NOT as low as that obtained from the adaptive brightness. For sure I can use the 'eyebrow mode' but that's too much of steps. So why not put the lowest brightness of the brightness slider at its lowest point like with the adaptive brightness?

Hi,
It's a known issue but only a smaller amount of handsets are affected, not generally all. Please wait for the next update or you can try to tweak your touch panel with SGS Touchscreen Booster
Please mention some examples of the crashing apps to let me check them.

Hi,
All versions of all models work as the same. I respect your opinion but it seems to be quite a specific need from your side. A higher minimum level of the manual brightness helps to avoid to quasi soft brick your phone by setting a too low brightness, that might cause uderpowering your screen back light, driving to a completely black screen. If that happens when the adaptive brightness is enabled, that's enonugh to just find a better lit place to make the back light work again. So with adaptive brightness the screen brightness can go lower without serious risks.

How can lowering brightness cause soft brick? Other phones have good minimum brightness like LG phones, Xiaomi phones, how can UMIDIGI not implement that? I have never heard a phone being bricked because of low brightness. If the adaptive brightness can lower the brightness to a minimum value, I think the minimum brightness should also be implemented in manual brightness slider.

Every words of my lines are important. I wrote ''quasi soft brick'', not just soft brick and I tried to explain how. If your screen gets completely dark, you cannot control your phone anymore, so it's quasi (not de facto) soft bricked. It even happened to me with an HTC One X some years ago but of course it's a very rare occasion.

"If your screen gets completely dark, you cannot control your phone anymore" is that a joke or just an excuse because you cannot explain why the UMIDIGI Z cannot get to the lowest brightness with manually adjusting brightness? It is obvious that people will use lowest brightness setting at night time, the current lowest brightness setting of the phone is so bad that it hurts the eyes during night time. At night in almost darkness, it is VERY POSSIBLE to completely control a smartphone with a very dim screen, unless the user has a visual defect. I know it is possible to get to a lower brightness because I can with adaptive brightness. It is just a shame that I cannot get to the lowest brightness manually. And also the 'eyebrow mode' only gives one brightness option (night mode with no slider to dim the brightness further (only the filter blue has a slider)) and the only screen dimmer app that works in the phone perfectly makes the phone freeze. So I am left with no option rather than keeping the phone away from my eyes during night time. It is futile to give suggestions here or ask for reasonable opinions because all you do is just trying to give a pointless excuse to escape from the question.

Hi,
I'm sorry but the release dates of updates is something that I never know in advance. The developers are woking on multiple projects at the same time and meet with many unexpected obstacles. For the UMi Z now you can expect new updates in about every 2 months.
