IRON V1.6 ROM

jaroslav

I'm wondering what "google services updated" means. I still can't install Google Plus app.

How can i activate hardware navigation keys?

Sound is better in v1.6 than 1.5. I tested it

GO to Accessiblity , press on "Virtual Keypad", select "Entity keypad" and reboot your phone.

So I got my UMI Iron yesterday and i have to say, i quite like it. updated to 1.6 via pc app. easy.

buuuuutttt:

every time i press the volume up or down button, the system UI stops working and needs to restart. wtf??! that is really, really annoying.

i´ve bought a second iron for my girlfriend. this smartphone does exactly the same...

i flashed flyme OS (i know meizu for quite a long time now) and have absolutely no problems: volume working, hardwarebuttons working, camera working, etc.

how can it be, that UMI cannot provide a bug-free version of its own UI, but a OS, that was never meant to run on the iron does a FAR BETTER job?! thats ridiculous...!

my guess: umi has big problems regarding this strange audio-chip, the even stranger equalizer software and the super, super strange implementation of both of them in android 5.1. they should have sticked with an ordinary audio chip.

as long as these gaping audiobugs arent solved, i will stick to flyme. it´s a little bit slower, but it does work...
PS: volume level in phone calls is quite low... the speaker on the other side is (even when back mounted) quite ok.

Found another bug, this time in official recovery. Backups don't work for me. Always get error:
backing up boot image...
backing up recovery image...
backing up /system image...
W:failed to mount
/dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/by-name/system (File exists)

Too bad, cause RootJoy recovery seems to be enough for most of the times. No need to install TWRP.

update on Flyme OS on Iron:

1. Bluetooth working quite nice.
2. Phone does NOT crash when pluggin in headset. but: audio quality is only OK, not "good".
3. engineering mode does also work in Flyme OS!
4. The UMI Iron registers itself with "Meizu M2 Note" on Flyme OS. No wonder, the M2 Note has almost exactly the same hardware (despite only 2GB RAM). But: the Iron feels considerably faster than the M2 Note. Quite strange.

@jaroslav
Audio quality via speaker is quite good, via headset ok for podcasts i would say...
