Dear beta testers, You can find the SP Flash Tool package of the second Android 7.1.1 beta release for UMDIGI Z Pro with the version number of V7.01_20170509 here. Please download and flash it, then post your feedback in this thread. About the skills you need for flashing and the possible risks, please carefully read the information on the following page: http://community.umidigi.com/thread-5265-1-1.html Disclaimer Please note, experimenting with the system software of your phone may permanently brick it driving to lose your warranty. Important! Retailers are not obligated to deal in warranty with devices ruined by overwriting the system software by the user. Once you have made your smartphone useless by bad flashing and you are not able to recover its factory state, you are not allowed to request your seller to repair or replace your device for free of charge. Furthermore, UMIDIGI is not responisible for any damages or data loss caused by flashing a beta ROM provided in the beta section of this forum. The software contents provided in the beta section are made or approved by UMi/UMDIGI but they do not make the official parts of the device that was sold by your retailer. If the hardware of your UMDIGI Z Pro smartphone gets damaged due to the bad working of an unofficial software, only reflashing the stock ROM will not reinstate the warranty status of your device.

I am using the Nougat Beta 2 for a couple of days and here are my conclusions:

- Battery life is better than Marshmellow but still not good. It is the same as my old nubia Z7 mini with only a 2300 mAh battery and a snapdragon 801.
- The camera app needs a lot of improvement. Autofocus does not work properly (a lot of unsharp pictures). And I found the bokeh mode better in the marshmellow rom.
- The gallery app takes a lot of time to load bokeh pictures and crashes a lot
- The fingerprint scanner works for unlocking the Phone but can't be used inside apps (like my banking app)

+ very stable, never had a reboot
+ fast and smooth
+ some  new features

Requests:
- slow motion
- improvement of the **** photo function (with full resolution pictures and not 1900*1080, but like in the ipone)
- ? aftermarket nfc antenna?
- more camera controls (manual exposure, manual shutter speed,...)

Keep going, your doing a good job

Greetings, Arno

The official Android 7.1.1 upgrade for UMi Z was released today. The Z Pro will receive it next week. Please be patient until.

The month is almost over. And we still haven't got a stable release.
Any news?

The Dragon Boat Festival holiday was in China between 28-30 May, so nobody was really working. The OTA update is expected to be released on this Thursday.

search in the forum for SN writter, and go to your box from the phone, in there you have the imeis to insert in the program

Hello
Will it auto generate IMEI numbers because i dont have my original numbers

Yes you have. You can check them in the original protective film that was on the back of your device. I hope that like me you could be one of those persons that keeps everything and does not send the packages to the garbagge, Sr. Amadeu.

Edit: It's not possible to use autogenereated IMEI. In a matter of seconds you'll have the phone without signal again.

Guster

Behind the metal box of the phone you have the imeis. You can use autogenereated imei and it works.

I tried autogenerated IMEI's once. Got phone signal blocked a few minutes later on.

Guster
