\n\nWell Ben, here is your list:
- Very bad coverage / signal. My phone goes every time from 4G to 3G (or even Edge).
- Very bad Bluetooth range. Around 2-3 meters.
- Random freezes.
- Low sensitive touchscreen on the latest 7.1.1 ROM. (I'm on the first 7.1.1 ROM).
- Overheating while gaming, or CPU intensive tasks (Sometimes even up to 60°C).
- 3rd party apps can't change the ISO value for taking picture or recording video (so Snapchat is a dealbreaker for me...).
- When I put my screen brightness on the lowes, my screen flashes sometimes.
- Very quick battery drain.
- I don't know why, but on android Nougat, the lockscreen clock is bold, but ours is not.
- A lot a mobile standby battery draining.
- Apps keep crashing. (I don't experience this bug, but others are).
- The black notification panel is so ugly. I know you can remove it by disabling a line in the build.prop file, but that only makes it transparent. What I want is just the NORMAL STOCK notification panel, in the NORMAL colors, and transparency.
- Very inaccurate GPS. Sometimes even up to 20 meters wrong (even if I have the very high accuracy mode enabled).
- When typing in landscape mode, the keyboard is shifted to the left. So there is a little gap on the right side.
- The "Zoom" bug where you take a picture, and then go to the gallery and zoom in. The quality is very bad, but the phone loads the picture and after like 5 seconds, the picture is "good".
- All the battery information numbers are multiplied by 10.
- Very annoying WiFi issue. I'm connected to my WiFi, but when I try to download something, it just says: "downloading", and keeps saying that forever. I have to disable and re-enable WiFi, en then it starts downloading.
- Not smooth scrolling. When I scroll (for example in Instagram or Google Chrome) it's just very laggy and choppy.
- No trusted face option in smartlock settings ("it's disabled by the kernel". That's what you said).
- Needs more than 3 hours to fully charge with stock charger and cable (instead of the 100 minutes on the UMIDIGI website).
- Just no smooth system UI, very buggy and laggy.

There are probably way more bugs, but those are the most annoying bugs.

And Ben, please don't tell me that I have to reflash the software to fix the issues. I reflashed already like 8 times, and it didn't fix them. I even formatted the hole phone before flashing. And don't say that other person or you can't represent those issues. If you can't represent one of those issues, it doesn't wanna tell that no one of us can represent it, or that it's or fault, of faulty hardware,...
It took me an hour to make this list, so please, don't give an excuse for every problem or bug. Just give the list to the developers, and ask them to fix them (or most of them) and give us an update.
Hope you understand me.

Greetings
Joran

I'm still waiting for those lists of bugs to check and match them. If we find matching bugs, users ...

I made my list 2 days ago, check it above this post.

I'm expecting multiple lists with bugs based on personal experiences, not only one list with some supportive comments. Moreover, you mentioned only one real and software related bug (I mean not unreal or real but not system software related bug) in your very long list: ''3rd party apps can't change the ISO value for taking picture or recording video''. Anyway that's the shutter speed what third party camera apps cannot control.

Almost all of the bugs I mentioned can be fixed by a software update.
Please, just give it to the developers and ask if they can give us an update which fixes most of the bugs.
I spent more then an hour to make that list, so I should appreciate it if you can give it to the developers.

I too have a couple of persistent issues with the latest ROM. And some of them were already mentioned by GamingMonster.

- The signal reception is a bit dodgy, though I live in an area with a bad signal receptions, some phones had better reception, some had worse. Umi Z is somehwhere in the middle.
- Bluetooth issues - I experience a lot of audio drops with my BT headphones and handsfree, especially if I get out of the 2m range. Also my Garmin fitness band has problems reconnecting via BT LE and I have to couple times a day turn the BT off and on again to make it work.
- Slight backlight flicker after I plug the phone to charger, it usually stops after couple of seconds.
- Battery drain - this is kind of mystery to me, my research points to one of the core system services, usually when I switch from wifi to 4G and back couple of times, it triggers a wakelock spree, preventing phone from entering deep sleep and eating up the whole battery in a matter of 12-14 hours. What´s weird is sometimes rebooting won´t resolve it. It kind of fixes itself after a recharge or two and then mysteriously appears again. Other than that I charge my phone once in a 2-3 days, no problem with that.
- Camera and photo quality are, well ... bad. To the point I rarely use it to make pictures. The pictures are bright, hazy and out of focus, it only produces mediocre pictures in a best case scenario in a well lit environment. I have Xioami MI4c as a secondary phone so I always use that.
- The overal system smoothness could be a bit better.

Other points worth mentioning/commenting
- The lower touchscreen sensitivity was deliberately added by developers and while I have no problems with that I understand frustration of many users. In my opinion it was a bad decision.
- Overheating - my phone runs usually fine, even after longer gaming sessions, however I don´t use it that much for CPU intensive tasks anymore.
- I don´t use FB, Snapchat, Instagram or others so I can´t really comment on that.
- No regular appcrash or phone crash here.
- I hate the black notification bar too, removed it via root and build.prop edit
- Never experienced problems downloading anything
- Charging is usually faster than 3 hours, at least for me. It´s not the 100 minutes but still acceptable.

Fix the battery drain, bluetooth and tweak the camera so it makes at least passable pictures and I would be most happy person.

Had to do the notification bar.

How did you do it??
With root?

Oh nice!
Can you maybe make a version for me with just the default notification panel of the first 7.1.1 ROM (not the latest 7.1.1 ROM)?

Umi, where's the update of ROM to Umi Z?
Can you respect yours consumers and apply the corrections?
Umi will never be good if continue work like this.
