F1

Hi I bought my phone new today in USA F1.   I am on UMIDIGI_F1_V1.0_2019 0124

When I go to settings to check for latest OTA update it says I am already on the newest update.  My phone is freezing up more than 5 times in the forst hour and I want to upgrade to the latest 0904 version.  Why are my OTA updates not working?  ANd what do i need to do to correct this situation?  

I am on stock configuration and have never on this phone done adb anything or any of that stuff.  So I am confused why my OTA is not working like normal.

Are you clicking on the right update? There is the Andriod update which UMIDIGI does not roll updates through and then there is the one in the System about Phone, Wireless Updates.

Let me know if you still have an issue, if so there are other means to upgrade.

Let me know how it goes.

Yep, even with run in background enabled.

DuraSpeed On

OMFG!!!

Fix/Workaround:

1. Turn on Developer Options (You can unlock the Developer options on any Android smartphone or tablet by locating the Build number in your Settings menu and tapping it multiple times.)

2. Settings -> System -> Advanced -> Developer options -> Background process limit

Set this to 'No background processes'

(Don't assume this is what you think it is, see description https://forum.xda-developers.com ... 164099&postcount=10)

3. Reboot phone. (To be sure)

Now, I do have Duraspeed On as described above (Service enabled and On for app), and also Battery Optimization off for the app. I don't know exactly which combination of options is strictly necessary - I mean sheesh, there's so many toggles which can be influential - no wonder there's a conflict somewhere.

And a weird thing: if you go back to the 'Developer options' and look at the value for 'Background process limit' - it's back at 'Standard limit'! It seems that it's only the toggling of the 'Background process limit' which has rectified some kind of initial setting flaw.

Interested in feedback from other users...

Update: Can confirm this is NOT a permanent fix. I was able to use my scrabble game app for a few hours without closing. And then, when I opened Settings -> Duraspeed, and changed nothing, the app started being killed. I already knew a reboot made a difference for a short time. So not sure if the toggling of 'Background process limit' made any difference.

Also this is a major problem with many modern Android phones. Nokia in particular have had issues due to Duraspeed on their MTK offerings (Duraspeed is a Mediatek creation/affliction). I have disabled Duraspeed but makes no difference (is it really disabled?).

I would like to view the logs and see what is doing the killing but that isn't a simple process in Android.

hi,
as many other umidigi f1 users complain, there are those irritating words tee and google with chinese symbols engraved in the top corner of the screen.

it has nothing to do with google or google certification as it was wrongfully posted by someone from umidigi.
this is a pure umidigi problem which you need to find an urgent solution for. no other phone company in the world has that problem, not even a chinese company.

the tool did not help. it reestablishes numbers like imei but it does not remove the symbols and the worlds tee and google.

if you do not post a solution quickly i will have to return the phone. i bought from paypal and they treat this as: merchandise not as expected. i will get my money back. paypal is not a chinese company.
stand behind your products or you will lose a lot of customers!
post a solution for the umidigi tee and google annoyance!

I hope for you that they resolve but Umidigi F1 is old for Umidigi now

Sad that Umidigi does not have plans to upgrade the OS of our current devices. Especially in light of frozen shipments due to the virus issues. Umidigi could give us Android 10 with MHL/HDMI support by use of a common USB-C Hubs.

Need fix for: camera, WIFI, LTE, among others
