VCOM driver: Windows 10 can automatically install it. Please make sure that your Windows is logged in with administrator rights and your computer has a working internet connection when first time connecting your phone.

Here's an optional solution to start the flashing process on your UMIDIGI Power 3 if the standard method doesn't work.

It's especially useful if your phone is bricked or is stuck in bootloop

1. Connect your UMIDIGI Power 3 to USB.

2. Start the flashing process with the Download button in the flasher app.

3. Press and keep pressed the power button of your phone until the flashing process starts (red bar appears at the bottom of the app window), then release it. In this process you have to keep the power button pressed for about 10 seconds.

4. Wait until the flashing process finishes.

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.

Please keep us posted. Maybe it's triggered by a certain app. I know it went away for me then came ...

Ok, did a factory reset and the short wave radio sound was still there. Only a full firmware upgrade with spflash (without setting up a user account) made the low quality audio go away.

However, switching from stereo to mono back to stereo in accessibility settings also made the problem go away. This must be some kind of driver issue.

Update:

The mono setting did not work anymore after reset. There seems to be no reliable solution to this from the user side.

can we get a status update for the Power 3 ROM??

instead of making new phones, can we get the ones we ALREADY HAVE ISSUES WITH FIXED?!

your loyalty is going to go way down into the ground if these issues are not resolved. don't forget your guinea pigs, A.K.A. the USERS, still have the devices with unresolved issues!!

UMIDIGI the sound problem is back!! when will you stop messing up updates?? this time factory reset doesn't fix the problem!!

Hello! Update 1.3 spoiled the sound in the speakers, before that with versions 1.1 and 1.2 with the sound my phone was doing fine. Please fix it!

arecad

The sound problem persists after this update. Audio still sounds like absolute garbage out of the speaker. So whatever you claim "fixed" this - DID NOT.

COME ON UMIDIGI!

Please FIX this problem you introduced two updates ago!

arecad

Installed this update - fingers crossed that it fixes the horrible audio quality.

Unfortunately MMS on Fido still doesn't work with this update. Hoping Umidigi can soon fix this for Fido users in Canada as we cannot send/receive MMS. This is a real problem for me and with every update I keep hoping this will be resolved.

Notifications still don't work on the locked screen. Nothing at all. To make matters worse, this device does not have a notification led !! Please fix it !!!

I have no problem with the notification sound. It sounds good.
The screen does not turn on !!! And in the settings they are on. It is very annoying, because you have to check the device every so often.

Last time factory reset fixed the problem for me, but only for a few hours. I wish I could figure out what triggers the sound problem.

There also seems to be something random that makes it go back to normal. Mine was okay last night and this morning until I applied the new update. Back to garbage again.

Yes UMIDIGI, how many million times do you want us to keep factory reset our phones and lose data??

I've even flashed the full rom with SP Flash Tool...after clean flash i factory reset again...

The sound coming from youtube or spotify is still awful...sounds like an old radio or a 11Khz mp3 file...

Seems like UMIDigi will never learn...what is the use if you have decent hardware but your software is half baked? It seems like the rom has never been tested before release
