bencebacsi

This is the SP Flash Tool + OTA release of the

V1.0_20200306.V3.12 system software

for UMIDIGI F2

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 F2 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:

• Voice echo issue in headset and loud speaker phone calls fixed
• Media volume level settings optimized
• Live Wallpaper bug fixed
  

FOTA version: UMIDIGI_F2_V1.0_20191122_20200306-1905

You need a microSD card (with at least 4GB capacity) installed in your phone!

• Move to ‘Apply update from SD card’ and select it.
• On the next screen brows for the update file and select it. The update process will start and needs a few minutes to be finished.
• After a succcessful installation, you can read the ''Install from SD card complete.'' message and the recovery menu is available again.
• Select 'Reboot system now'. Alternatively you can perform a factory data reset here by choosing 'Wipe data/factory reset'
  

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.

As I wrote. Firmware weak level of GSM and Wi-Fi. On On Pro, which is located next to F2, the performance of these levels is much higher and it works better with networks, respectively. In the phone application, the first speed dial is constantly empty and nothing can be added to it. They did not return the function of recording telephone conversations. Please return. A very useful and useful feature.

Seems it. No difference whatsoever. Important issues have been ignored:

1) Security Patch Update
2) Microphone Bug
3) Camera Issues
4) Random Restarts
5) Fingerprint sensor inaccurate

Nice to see a new update.  Hope Umidigi keep regular updates coming.

A couple of things I would like to see in future updates;

1)  Android security patch is still at October 2019.  This needs updating please.

2)  What has happened to the phone-call record function?  Please bring this back.  It was very useful.
