UMIDIGI Z V3.02_20170317 ROM - SPFT + OTA release

Jackobyte

Simply do not install this update.  It wrecks the camera focus and the reaction of the fingerprint scanner.  I didn't check anything else and immediately restored my backup. My phone is now back to working well again. Please test updates better in future!!

If you have such issues after FOTA update, please flash this update with SPFT. In fact it provides even better camera and fingerprint scanner controls then before. Of course, updates don't get developed and released without thorough testing.

Absolutely shocking that you would have to use the flash tool for a well tested update to software on a phone.  And in reply to your comment I did do a full flash and it did not resolve how terrible this update is.

In actual fact, no matter how you try to say, this update does not improve the phone, it actually makes the phone less usable with worse performance.

I didn't faced any of your problems. It's the best working version right now.
I can't see more strange effects after OTA with Umidigi as with other brands i'm using or used in past (LG, Samsung, Sony, Nexus by LG, ...). Hardware, driver, software - All components together are a complex system.  Much more complex if data must survive update.  With a clean flash you'll get always the best performance.
I work as a developer so i know on development stage (with such a complex environment) you may grab 80 % of all bugs. Yeah, it's possible to kill more. But for the next 5 % you'll need the same time and money as for the 80 % before. You choosed Umidigi, because it's low-priced, didn't you?

Btw Umidigi delivered in 3 month more updates as my LG G4 old flagship till today.

Don't complain that there is a tool to solve software/configuration related problems after update. This is officially here! Using other brands you must send your mobile to support or grab the software somewhere in internet.
Yes, Umidigi has many problems:

• quality of hardware (eq swelling batteries)
• quality of assembly (eg dust between camera lens and glass)
• quality of inspection (eg gyroscope bug on shipped mobiles)
• own software/functions don't fit in stock (eg "long press home" is impossible)
• to much marketing praise - you could expect much more than you get (eg top tier camera, but a few years old sensor which is only used in mid-to-low range mobiles)
• Helio X27 is a flagship (now X30 is coming), but eg it's using PE+ neither PE+ 2 nor PE+ 3,...
• supportstructure via dealer seems a problem rigth now
  

Just stay fair. Look at the whole thing. And remember that no one here is responsible for your problems. The moderators aren't employees of Umidigi.

I can confirm the I do have rotation issue, fixes after reboot. Also having the same problem with earphones, they disconnect but fix after a restart.

TO DEV: This version still uses the old KitKat (Android 4.4) Emoji. Could you please update to the Marshmallow emoji? - or even the 7.1.1 new emoji!

Hi there, my auto answering of calls stopped working.
The phone keeps ringing even with the headset plugged in.
I cannot find the setting for that, but I am sure I haven't turned it off as it has been working since I used the phone for the first time.
I am not 100% sure it is due to the upgrade but it was definitely working just a couple of weeks ago.

"With a clean flash you'll get always the best performance".
I have done my upgrades so far via OTAs only.
I haven't faced with extreme phone behavior so far but I am not happy with some aspects as well (mostly the battery consumption).
Do you still recommend me to try a clean flash in this case?
Thank you.
