If I've been using headset (whether for listening to music or for conversations), and then try using loudspeaker it usually doesn't work. Restart is only option. Although headset works if i don't restart... Quite lame

Maybe in software is some error during OTA downloading.
So all you guys please use SPFT and flash your system to latest available firmware.

Settings->Battery->Battery optimisation (shown after click on the three dots in upper right corner)-

Select "All apps"
Click on "Bluetooth Share" and select "Don't optimise"

Thank you for the post. I'll give it a try.

I now have a second UMI Z phone, yes a second one. On the new phone the speaker will cut out and will not work until you reboot the phone. The speaker problem is a MAJOR issue with the UMI Z phone and needs to be addressed immediately.

I have tried this on a phone where the speaker no longer works and it did not bring the speaker back to life unfortunately.
