UMIDIGI F1 V1.0_20190316 ROM - SPFT + OTA release

Mantarkus

Hello. New to the group.

I'm trying to open the rar file but it's says it's either unknown or damaged. Tryied to download it several times and same results.
Thanks for any help.

UPDATE: For some reason it wasn't working on my Windows 7 laptop, I used a different device to open the RAR file and exported the contents to my working laptop.

Big problem is apps always force closing with me too. I wish Pokemon Go didn't restart everytime. I also have trouble with connecting some bluetooth devices. They should give us a stock android experience. They are close to it and it would reduce the confusing amount of updates. Has there been anymore updates for this ROM yet?

Anyone else has problems with compass direction? GPS shows my location accurately but it's the compass that shows me facing in the wrong direction. Doesn't seem like a big problem until you are driving and the arrow is pointing in an opposite direction. If calibrated the gps doing all the 8 motions and everything but once the screen is off and back on, all calibration is lost. Any solution?
And yes, I'm using a case with magnets but the problem is the same with and without it.

There is a serious issue with the Umidigi F1. This issue is regarding RAM management. When I switch  ...

That's the issue I've reported to Umidigi with the F1 Play with even more RAM - almost makes the phone unusable due to a memory leak or similar which makes it throw apps out of RAM instead of keeping them resident (so they restart when you tap on them in the recents instead of instantly resuming where you left off).
I can have just Firefox and Chrome in the recents, nothing else, and each time I tap on them alternately they'll reload instead of resuming. Developer Options reports 3GB of free RAM so it's a weird one - hopefully the .mtklog I attached to my bug report will help, but really everyone has this issue so the devs at Umidigi will too (a short while after a reboot swapping between apps it occurs almost 100% despite gigs of memory being 'reported' as free).

It's the only problem I have with the phone, as it's way worse than my old Xiaomi that had half the RAM, everything else is fine.

Yes, though yesterday I tried Duraspeed on setting all apps to use it, just in case somehow not having it enabled caused the issue, but the memory issue with apps being prematurely closed returned after a while.

There's been a new F1 Play update today but no changelog notes yet. Curious to see if they've fixed it.

Immediately after unpacking. The main camera is not working. No focus. The seller says - update the firmware. I updated. It does not help. The camera is not working correctly. This phone has the latest firmware UMIDIGI_F1_V1.0_20190124_20190316-1508.
