Today get update. Please check manually . Improved camera

Hi fatur06,

If you work with/for Umidigi team, can you help me on following questions on this new version of 1.4 (08/27) on A5 pro?

1) The power usage/Battery usage per app is still not working/broken, even on this new v1.4 update

2) This phone supports US carriers well including VoLTE support, but it does NOT support VoLTE on China Telecom (中国电信) 's network in China. It supports its 4G LTE but Data only and no Voice (due to lack of CDMA and VoLTE config). Can you add IMS provision file for China Telecom so we can use its VoLTE on that network to call/text?

3) Similarly, does the phone support VoLTE on China Mobile (中国移动) in China? If not, can you add the IMS provision config file in next version of OTA update?

wow, political views on a forum; haven't seen that before! definitely not fueling your small minde ...

Hi,

Well I just find the way you write pretty intimidating. But maybe it's because of translations.

Anyway What you describe with the black screen/lines. I had that too. but no one else seemed to have it.

It happened after I upgraded to 1.3 and I wanted to go back to 1.2.

I cannot explain why but flashing 1.1 or 1.2 eu and global just ruined my screen. I am sure my phone did boot coz after a little while I saw some changes in the lines which means it got to the welcome screen.

If some phones have different video hardware it could explain it. Maybe my phone came came with a rom that had different drivers than the online 1.2 roms. But I really thought I flashed both versions pf 1.2 before going to 1.3 but maybe I am wrong.

no you're right, man. the drivers that are driving the back-light are off. i've kind of narrowed it down to this issue. with brightness settings at the halfway mark and lower, NO lines. as soon as my sensor picks up ambient light to fully saturate those back-light LED's, green line.

i'm not completely sure of my phone either - as when i bought this phone from AliExpress, my option seemed to be a 'first release' or something; or still in beta testing. when i finally got my phone, the Umi site and other sellers didn't have that option of being a 'pre-release' or anything; AND local US shipping.. that made me kind of mad, honestly.

if i could, i'd wipe all my data out of this phone and send it back for the UMIDIGI-X device lol but i know that's not happening, they don't even make money off the phones.

and looks like my suspensions were accurate - EU ROMs don't have issues like our 'global' devices. hinting why i asked, if it were truly global - why is there a Euro ROM?

well - hopefully UMI will come out with a 1.5 release MAYBE with Android Q coming out? i know the 1.4....827 update didn't do much for my issues - except fix the low-light camera green picture thing. Duo still flashes green cause of the image stabilization crap, and the back-light still shows a green line every now and then lol but i'm okay with it as long as the screen doesn't completely shit out on me!

i mean - pay me Umidigi! i'll QC the SHIT out of your products!

okay, well i have not the slightest clue what this guy is talking about lol.... but for ANYONE having the green line issues - BEHOLD... A WORKING FIX!! WITHOUT ANY HELP FROM UMIDIGI!!

simply dial *#*#66#*#* and you will enter the hidden 'test' menu. now be careful, but you need to enter the 'SINGLE TEST' menu -> when in this menu, there are tons of little blocks that you can perform various tests from. DO NOT PRESS TELEPHONE UNLESS YOU ARE PREPARED TO TALK TO E911 SERVICES!!!!! learned that one quick.. ANYWAY.. now you need to click, press, or select (which ever term you prefer to use here) the FIRST block labeled 'LCD'. when you press this, the phones display, the ENTIRE display, will cycle test colors to the screen, to verify working condition of the display - and to determine if any dead pixels have been introduced recently. now - this will be sort of important; when i did this test, i turned my brightness all the way up to 100%, disabled the adaptive brightness, and raised my screen-on timeout to 1min. after i did the code, and got the LCD to the RED SCREEN, this is the first test color btw, i let my phone sit until the brightness dimmed and then turned the display off. i unlocked the screen, tapped the RED color to go to GREEN, the next test color; and i repeated the 1min timeouts until there were no more colors to cycle through -

**note - colors are in this order: RED, GREEN, BLUE, BLACK, WHITE. after the white screen, it will ask you if the test was successful - select success, and exit the menu by pressing the home button, or backing out of the menus.**

congratulations! if the test images were displayed correctly, IF you have the green line issue - this should have cleared that up ;) what happens with this, is the same exact issue with the Samsung devices and the pink / red line issues with the display. kind of the same, but this isn't a Sammy.. anywho; the green line usually means something is defective - but not this case. i've noticed the green line while booting, while on the call with someone, in apps, then all of the sudden it disappears to nothingness? then comes back, goes away, comes back.. there's a software glitch driving either the LCD color space, obviously incorrectly, or a glitch in the way that the software is driving the actual LCD brightness controller - as this issue has been apparent on others devices as well as mine, and almost not even noticeable with the 1.3 software. SO, after cycling the colors, it kind of 'resets' or 're-seats' the actual LCD pixels into their home space within the layers of the panel. sometimes, the pixels kind of buckle up during manufacturing or shipping - usually due to heat / cold - expansion / contraction..

now - i still have the green line sometimes - SOMETIMES. . . but not nearly as much as before i did this color cycle thing. whenever i notice the line, i cycle the colors from the test menu - then bam, back to normal no lines.

please reply back with success stories!!
