bencebacsi

This is the SP Flash Tool + OTA release of the

V1.1_20200116 system software

for UMIDIGI Power 3

Flash tool operation is recommended to experienced users only. If you are not yet an experienced flash tool user, please carefully read the flash tool tutorial before proceeding, and strictly follow each instruction.

Except if an authorized or responsible expert directly asked you to do that,

never format the flash chip of your device or you instantly lose your warranty!

UMIDIGI Power 3 receives all updates automatically via FOTA method. You need this tool only in case of emergency (if you've bricked your phone), if you want to apply a clean install or if you want to clear all root access and custom recovery to make your phone able to receive FOTA updates again. Moreover, flashing with SPFT is the only option to repair (replace) damaged system software.

Changelog:

• Reverse charging optimized
• Camera Slow Motion and Panorama modes added, Bokeh mode optimized
• Call quality improved
• Other minor bug fixes and system improvements
  

FOTA version: UMIDIGI_Power_3_V1.1_20200116_20200116-1903

Kind request from users:
Please report any kind of new issues you experience after installing this update only if you've already flashed this ROM with SP Flash Tool in Firmware Upgrade mode. In rare cases a FOTA update can cause more or less serious malfunctions but that means only the update process went wrong, not a badly developed ROM. An updated stock ROM, especially related to the basic functions will not cause any new issues but will solve some of the existing ones.

regarding the mute / no sound issue,

i was using an internet calling app "My Line" installed from play store. When I'm in a call thru that app and if I go to any other app or turn off the screen, so that the "My Line" app will go to non-UI thread, then that app gets killed by the processor. From that point onwards there is no sound comes from the phone speaker, all the sound goes to connected bluetooth headphone that I was testing.

Anyone from Umidigi side, pls acknowledge the issue and an update on the fix please?.
