Hope(s) about the A5Pro

josoft86

Greetings to all Forum Members.
I purchased this smartphone as a second, having a Xiaomi Mi A3. Everything worked perfectly before updating the last Build "UMIDIGI_A5_Pro.E_V1.5_20191008". In fact now just call the speaker is silent except not to press speaker on the display and then goodbye to privacy. Same thing when you make phone calls. Communication to UMIDIGi, without acknowledgment of acceptance or reply on my email. I have been using Chinese smartphones for years, and I solved everything with external ROMs but now I just didn't want to play around again. If you have a solution to this bug, I would thank you very much.

i bought (2) a5-pros about a month apart.....both orders are having a problem with the screen blacking out while trying to place a call....then you have to force-restart the phone to get it to work again....then later it does it again....a few times a day....a ticket through umidigi tech support has been started....TICKET-4144....it does not seem as though they have come to a solution for this and are writing about the need to send it back to shenzhen.....neither the US government nor the Chinese government are subsidizing return shipping like they do the initial outbound shipping.....and tracking based shipping will cost about $50US....i am sorry, but the phones are not working right, and from what i am reading in the forum this phone is having many types of problems....and the statement above is my experience as well with the aliexpress official umidigi store....NO RESPONSE....these were my 3rd and 4th umidigi phones....and a surprise there is no better option for repairs/replacement/refund

Specifically, the Umidigi F1 Play or S3 Pro (they are basically the same phone).

Here's what they have going for them:

200-300 USD

6GB RAM

Expandable storage

High screen-body ratio

A headphone jack (important)

Good camera hardware (software side is meh, but that can be fixed)

Extremely easy repair (the company literally shares disassembly videos)

Global band support (I need band 13)

Stock Pie (or as close as you can get without a pixel)



Here are my concerns:

long term software support

Data collection

Has Helio, not Snapdragon

Zero custom ROMs



Does anybody have advice or experiences with Umidigi devices?

Right now I just hope that they fix the three dot crash for Spotify, checked with other roms, same device, on those it works, so it is the ROM :/
