If you guys are running the latest update then it could be a ...

Good suggestion and i tried it.

With Whatsapp the sound was slightly louder, but difficult to compare, as the actual volume is usable in a quiet environment (where also the Whatsapp call was made) but where problems really happen is outdoors, where is really difficult to understand the other person.

I guess you are talking about some other problem, because I never experienced the phone getting st ...

I didn't know for sure if it was stuck on headphone mode, it just wouldn't work unless I used headphones or had it on speaker phone. The fix I posted of using the app does toggle it and it seemed to snap it back to working order. Again, the volume's rather low, so this doesn't fix that part.

Well, hard to compare then because I make all my phone calls at home where it is quiet. I tried for the sake of testing calling one of my friends outside, that went just fine but yes .... it´s not the loudest sound in the world but I understood him just fine, again .. it was also quiet outside.

I am going to try and see if I can raise my volume with 3rd party software.

Happy but sad. Got the F1 today and was thrilled until I placed my first call and hit the low call volume issue. Have worked for hours trying to tweak it but to no avail. I'm afraid it is going back, maybe Xiaomi has better engineers.

Ok.. a friend was able to get in touch with someone working at Umidigi, who in turn contacted someone else about this particular problem. The answer was a bit weird, but it's worth checking it, because in my case, it helped.

The support person said that, because of the unusual location of the audio hole on top of the waterdrop notch, it is slightly smaller than normal ones, so we need to move the phone a bit to find the best alignment with the ear.

I wasn't very happy with the explanation, but tried, and guys.. it works... still not very loud, but the audio volume is better and usable in the street. Obviously they will have to come with some fix to increase the audio volume so it's not that dependent on the position relative to the ear.

This is the link report:
https://www.umidigi.com/page-Bug ... 6AUeC3O61twiiirMoMg

But they don't care about the thousand of reports they get.

As I suggested on another post. Go to their Facebook page and post the complaint there.
They do not respect the customer voice and deleted my previous post.

Hi all.

I wanted to create a new topic but it dont let me. So my Q is when I set up me F1 I inserted a new sd card and during installation I was asked if I want to use phone memory as main system memory or the sd card. This phone comes with dual memory configuration which is great. I chose sd card thinking I dont want to remove it since with phone memory I will have more than enough. Now, apps installed on sd card and when I connect to pc sd card is seen as F1 memory, which is fine and good.The phone memory is the root memory. But now I want to move everything to phone memory and use sd card as would be normally used as an extension storage option. I was looking online and nowhere I did find anything about it. Not even mention of someone used this function. In the setting there is no option not under "Developer options" to reverse or chose system memry. I was thinking maybe I just copy everything from sd card to system memory but first I rather ask questions. I think "to copy everything" option would not be a so simple solution because in the software now points to sd card during installation and app use instead to phone internal memory - me thinking. Any ideas? Thanks.

Just got my F1 and I have exactly the same "calls with low volume" problem. It only affects the ea ...

I talked to Umidigi support rep through Amazon. Call audio goes through the earpiece and it's super tiny for some reason while everything else goes through the speaker. So changing settings won't do anything for it. I returned mine despite liking it for the price because of the lack of support. Their attitude seems to be like they don't care and it is what it is. I could just use everything with earphones or speaker mode but... for a few hundred dollars more, you could get a fully working phone
