The 8.1 update has been released with the disclaimer that flashing it will brick your device... :rolleyes:

DO NOT FLASH!

http://community.umidigi.com/thread-17187-6-1.html

Any enterprising devs fancy taking a look to see if the efuse can be bypassed or implemented in to the 8.1 update?

The unofficial SP Flash Tool release of the V1.0_20180201 Basic Edition (UMI OS V2.0.027) system software, with efuse protetction, can be found here:

There are no fixes for those phones. The company has closed its forum due to all the criticisms of Umidigi owners. no fix, no update, no support. These phones are low budget with very cheap and bad components. do not buy the crap, not trusted company

[General Questions and Answers] Grypa:
Hello everyone,

I have some problem with my umidigi:

I bought umidigi s2 pro and I damaged my screen (phone was working) and after some time I bought umidigi S2 (not pro) wchich looks same like pro. Differences between this two versions are in RAM (pro has 6 GB and not-pro 4 GB), internal memory (128GB vs 64GB) and screen resolution. So I decided to put all from pro to not-pro. All things matched (motherboard and this thing with usb). I changed everything except the battery. And my problem is: after that operatoon phone started normally, working good but when I tap information about the phone I still see 4GB ram and 64GB internal memory🤔. But inside is motherboard with 6 GB ram and 128GB memory. Could anyone help me to understand why is that and maybe get some advise how to solve it?

I also wipe cash and reset the phone from bootloader.

I would be appreciate for response.

[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] therightperson_630:
Hello there,

Had trouble getting the 6045Y rooted with TWRP since it was on 6.0.1 locked bootloader, stock recovery.

Ended up flashing Eluga lollipop rom and was then able to flash TWRP 3.0, root etc.

I've now got lineage14.1, but a lot of apps in the play store say that they're not compatible with my device.

Checked the build prop, it says TCL instead of alcatel, but I'm 100% certain it's an alcatel.

- Tried changing things in the build prop

- Tried clearing play store cache and data

- Installed latest google play services in case

Not sure how to get rid of that message. I could download the apks for every app but that could take a while.

Does anyone have a solution for this?

Thanks for the help
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k500zm:
There is an app in playstore which can spoof the playstore and make it think you are using a different type of phone that is compatible....

http://techcookies.net/how-to-fake-android-to-think-you-have-a-different-device/
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] therightperson_630:
Nice, I'll have to see if it's still compatible considering it looks like an old app. I'll be able to try on monday when I get the phone back. If it does work I'll come back for the thumbs up.

Thanks a lot
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] therightperson_630:
Yeah it doesn't work unfortunately. App hasn't been updated in a while and gives me an error. I'll look for an alternative though.

Aye that is a shame - used the app a couple of years ago and it worked like a charm

as i said in the title when i use wifi i get a about 2-5 mins of use out of it, but then it will cause the pda to shut down, even when i have full battery and its plugged in, and it wont completely turn back on till i plug in a charger, occasionally even this wont help for a while, i also have had some problems with the battery, like sometimes it wont be recognised by the pda so it wont turn on and will show the red light when i try to charge it, could that cause this problem?

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] vipulbagadia:
I am currently in India, and trying to use my Essential PH1 with a Vodafone India 4G sim card. The SIM is not registering with the phone, and I am unable to get any network. I keep getting the message "your SIM is not allowed to use this network". I have tried contacting the local service center, but they tell me that the handset settings need to be changed. The same SIM works well with other phones in India.

I am using a Vodafone India 4G sim.. its a 'postpaid' connection (if that matters). When I manually select the network, all the available networks are listed, when I select "choose automatically", a message pops up "already registered on the network", but i dont get any signal.

When I manually try to select Vodafone IN from the list, pop up message says "your SIM is not allowed to use this network"

I have checked with Vodafone customer care, and they are sure its a phone config issue.

The same SIM works perfectly fine in any other handset. (Currently running the same SIM in Nexus 5)

Since this phone has not been launched in India yet, there is no technical knowledge or troubleshooting database available locally. Would you be able to help me with the correct settings so that the I can continue using the phone in India?

Received an OTA today for the device, Airtel and Vodafone are now registering ,. Jio is not able to register.

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] TokyoGuy:
I'm having a similar problem in Japan with Softbank, which ironically bought Sprint - the sole carrier of the phone in the USA.

There is no signal at all, and when selecting Softbank manually from the list of carriers, an error message stating it can't authenticate on the network popped up.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] sashank:
I faced the same issue a week ago, with both Airtel and Jio not registering the device on their networks. Yesterday, I booted up the phone again, installed the OTA, and was on my way to the Airtel store to talk about it. When I put in my SIM and turned it on, it got a signal and LTE data. I didn't try the same with Jio.

The most likely reason for the phone not being detected initially is that Essential has just one SKU, as far as I know, with all IMEIs of the 99x series. That's the typical IMEI series for Verizon and Sprint in the US, which are CDMA networks. Most other GSM IMEIs are of the 35x series.

I had planned to contact Essential support about this, but I didn't get down to it. I'm not sure what exactly made it work the second time. Maybe the OTA update changed something, or maybe Airtel took a while to auto-register (whitelist) the IMEI of this phone after it first detected it being used with a legitimate Airtel SIM. Regardless, it works just fine now.

NOTE: After I was able to get a signal, I could see the LTE symbol with no internet connectivity. I changed the preferred network type to "Global" in Settings and then it worked just fine. The default setting of LTE/TDSCDMA/CDMA/EVDO/GSM/WCDMA didn't allow data, only calls and SMS.

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] rednav:
When using outside of the U.S.A change network type to Global. Secondly insert the Sim (with the phone turned off). You should receive service when you turn the device on. In case you don't, give it a moment.

I had to replace my Sim as a last resort and then it worked without a problem.

Good luck.

I am a long time user of Daydream mode, now renamed to Screen Saver, on my phones with a USB charging desk dock. It is very useful as a desk clock.

Prior to Oreo the screen would wake up when a phone call comes in. Now it turns the screen off and I can't see who is calling before answering unless I take it off the dock and tap the power button.

I have had to tweak some stay awake and power options for other apps to work the way I want them to, but haven't found anything to fix this yet. I have tried the stock Clock app as well as a few from the Play Store, but no difference. Has anyone figured this out or is it a bug in Oreo?
