What, look for or download Roger's fw for 8.1.0?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] imatts:
To download it.

The reason I was avoiding this was because Canadian carrier versions (including the Roger's fw) don't seem to have mobile data and hotspot toggles and they also have unnecessary bloat, so I figured if I'm gonna flash a fw, I'll just flash the full Canadian unlocked fw to stay away from bloat and carrier restrictions.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pizza_pablo:
Ah, best of luck!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
What is your CSC? I'll check SamFirm myself tonight or tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] imatts:
Ok so I re-downloaded the Canadian XAC Pie FW, did a factory reset (via recovery), and then Odin (patched) flashed the XAC Pie fw, and guess what!!! PASS.

It must have been a bad download this entire time, or possibly the issue was that I unchecked the option CRC32 in SamFirm.

Thank you guys for all the help. OMG

Hi Everyone!

So, I decided to take a gamble in buying an Umidigi F1 phone and it just arrived.

Playing with it, it has android pie (supposedly clean, but i'll come to that) yet appears to be missing some features

Basically, I'm missing:

Gestures - the section is there but only two options and not the change in home button

Home Setting - hitting the desktop only gives wallpapers and widgets, no home settings

So, can anyone tell me why these are missing and how I get them - being that they're both software features of android pie and this is supposedly the latest version of (5 Jan 2019 security patch), I'm a little confused!

Thanks

[General Questions and Answers] vaderag:
Gotcha, but they don't really answer the question

Question 1 was, why am i missing the OFFICIAL built in gestures for Android pie (i.e. swiping the central button)

Question 2 is why am i missing the home setting button which enables the AI learning to show different things in the drawer (new Pie feature)
[General Questions and Answers] xonix240719mu:
Maybe Umidigi changed it. They aren't on Android One program, they don't have to keep it stock Android.

It's already a bonus there isn't a heavy skin and bloatware.
[General Questions and Answers] vaderag:
There is some bloat (a notes app and flashlight) but yeah

Also finding some other oddities - e.g phone app is stock, but stuck on an old version and actually doesn't match the stock I had on my old phone so can't be updated

Managed to get v26 of the Google Dialler with bubbles to replace dialer. Looking for better camera app now
[General Questions and Answers] AJStubbsy:
Have you managed to find a better camera app? I've been looking for an equivalent phone from

https://www.xda-developers.com/google-camera-port-hub/

but can't seem to find one.

I had a system update pretty early on and I've got gestures working on my F1. Have you been able to resolve this issue? If not, maybe try searching for system updates from the phone.
[General Questions and Answers] vaderag:
I was doing exactly the same. Tried every port (or at least I believe I did) from that thread of Google camera and not getting anything working sadly

Other camera apps aren't doing much for me!

The stock one is fine but I occasionally get done colour washing

Re. Gestures, thats interesting. I've not had an update that gives me that option and searching doesn't find anything :(
[General Questions and Answers] vaderag:
Does this version match yours?View attachment 4703654View attachment 4703655
[General Questions and Answers] AJStubbsy:
I do have that Gestures setting but the one you mentioned where you swipe up to go home/back etc is in Smart Assistant > Buttons and its called Slippery Gesture.

I've had some joy with Google Camera as well! Try this: -

https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidQue...ny_google_camera_mods_out_yet_for_umidigi_z2/

Its for the Z2 but it installed fine for me.
[General Questions and Answers] vaderag:
Ah, no, the one I mentioned should be in the screen I showed (it is on my MiA1, and is where all the pie guides list it) - it's slightly different to the one you list (which I'm guessing is something custom for Umidigi or a precursor perhaps!)

That camera works for me, thanks for the link, but it's a really old version on Google Camera (2.4!), and I'm not sure it's adding much over the stock. In fact doesn't seem to be any way to get to the gallery even from it unless I'm being dim!

Will keep holding out for a port of the latest Google camera that works!
[General Questions and Answers] AJStubbsy:
You get to the gallery by swiping from the right but I'd have to agree with you that it doesn't improve the image quality, which I'm pretty impressed with in all fairness. The Panorama and Photo Sphere is pretty good though, but I don't see me using those much. I'd be really interested if you do manage to find a worthwhile camera app, so please post if you do. I read somewhere that 'A Better Camera' app is pretty good, even if it does sound crap but haven't tried yet.

Good luck finding the Gestures you want. Strangely the 'Slippery Gestures' I mentioned doesn't show up in a search, so maybe what your looking for is hidden there somewhere; albeit not where it should be :rolleyes:

[General Questions and Answers] snakeharmer:
Umidigi phones are unlockable out of the box with just the OEM unlock command via ADB/Fastboot, and while I haven't seen it confirmed, odds are that this phone is no different.

The real question is going to be whether we see any development for it on XDA. I'm seriously considering buying an F1, but since you really can't rely on first-party software updates for these Chinese no-name devices, I'm holding off to see if it gets some love here on XDA.
[General Questions and Answers] gargamelxda:
Right. I have unlocked it with adb..... Fastboot flashing unlock.

There is Twrp and decrypted zip file, but this seems dont work. When reboot to system phone are encrypted and magisk flashed without error in twrp dont work in the Rom

Has anyone been able to get the drivers to work on Windows 10? I've tried every driver I could find and so far nothing works. I even tried 'Add Legacy Driver' method, but same thing.
[General Questions and Answers] eSZee:
Same issue here. Have tried 3 different PCs, even a fresh windows install and no luck. I can bring up adb and run check "adb devices" see the phone, but as soon as I restart into bootloader or try to bring up mtkdroidtools, no longer detected.
[General Questions and Answers] ryude:
Yup, even disabling driver signature enforcement doesn't do anything. About to give up on this phone, mediatek is a pita.
[General Questions and Answers] eSZee:
This issue is just the tip of things that are lackluster. Performance hesitation and freezing in apps and menus, poor proximity sensor, poor screen rotation sensor, poor wifi, camera and camera app are junk, and VOLte doesn't work(unless I'm doing something wrong). And I'm coming from a xiaomi note 3 pro so it's not like I'm expecting the best of the best for $200(have the f1 play btw). If xiaomi had better bands for the US, I don't think I'd have given this phone a second thought.
[General Questions and Answers] ryude:
I mean for a phone with US LTE bands, it's not bad for the price point. Only phone that competes is the Moto G7 and that starts at $299.

I'm having problems with this phone disconnecting from Bluetooth devices, specifically my car stereo. I can delete the storage data for the Bluetooth System App and it all works again but it's a temporary fix. The Umidigi Forum won't let me post for some reason and I haven't found existing forums with users having the same problem. Are any of you F1 owners having this problem as well?
[General Questions and Answers] Crowland:
I had the same problem I turned off Dura speed completely and if that does stop it trum off intelligent power saving stand by.

If this helped you don't forget to hit thanks and please let me know if it works or not.
[General Questions and Answers] AJStubbsy:
I've had Dura speed off for a good couple of days now and unfortunately that hasn't fixed the problem. I've turned off Intelligent Power Saving Stand By as well now, so fingers crossed.

The main problem I'm experiencing now is unresponsive screen. I have to turn the screen off with the power button and then back on again to get the touch response back.

Hopefully IPSSB will fix that too!

Other minor bug fixes and system improvements

I ordered my phone today. And while looking around for information I found this update posted today.

at Umidigi forum.

Unfortunately here at XDA, they do not like links to other development sites. But since this is a manufactures forum maybe it is OK to link to it.

I'm not yet willing to draw a line under it as only been in the update for the day or so and not done anything too intensive, but so far working well
[General Questions and Answers] mrmazak:
I was pulling my hair out over this, too. Updated drivers, removed devices, etc, etc. Then everytime device manager keeps showing as "android adb device" I felt that was the problem. But I went and updated adb+fastboot. I used minimal adb+fastboot as a test , It was updated Sep 2018.

Bamn fastboot devices now detects phone, and can be unlocked.

Needs to be at least abd version 1.0.39

Installed as C:\adb\adb.exe

[General Questions and Answers] Techngro:
I'm still having an issue with the multitasking. The page is that I was on is still the same, but it reloads each time I go back to it (after a few minutes). Which means that, if i'm writing a comment or something, and I go away for a bit, I lose the comment when I come back to it. It's a bit frustrating.

The other issue I'm having is that my Mate SE had an extra navigation button next to the regular buttons (home/back/multitasking) for notification bar pull down. I never knew how useful it was until I didn't have it anymore. And this phone is even bigger than the Mate SE. And I can't seem to find an app that adds that functionality. If anyone has a suggestion, I'd appreciate it.

EDIT: Never mind. I forgot I purchased Nova Launcher Prime a couple of years ago. And I was actually using it but forgot they had a gestures ability. Now I can pull down the notification bar easily.

F1 Play - Bugs and missing features

So far I found, or not found, the following on my F1 Play (F1E.V1.0.20192501) aka the last update:

- Dark Mode not working

- Notification tone can't be changed (still always "ta da" the absolute worst of em)

- Battery percentage switch

- Data speed indicator switch

- Literally all settings for vibrating in notifications

- Gestures

- Don't get started with the camera software

Again. Such a shame. So so nice hardware and then it is the software implementation. And they prolly never fix this and instead push out 67 new faulty generations until the end of the year...

Umidigi please read this and start rolling out updates..

Our F1 has a very stripped down version of Android 9, it would benefit tremendously if there was an official and working version of Xposed running GravityBox for Pie. Tried edXposed but worked for a while until it started to bootloop. Might try it again once a newer version comes out.

I have the F1 working on Verizon/PagePlus on Sim1. I am able to do talk and text(sms and mms) but data doesn;t work. I even have the HD icon when I have enhanced LTE enabled. But my problem seems to be that I don;t have the apn set correctly.

[General Questions and Answers] tekweezle:
Success! For Verizon

Go to the phone dialer and dial

*#*#4636#*#*

Go to phone information and change your preferred network type to LTE only

The default is lte/umts which probably just good for GSM phones

You should see a lte connect. Hit the ping test to verify if you can ping Google.com

Additional instruction : disable the enable 4g toggle under Verizon Sim and restart, the Apn settings menu should be revealed. Add the correct Apn. For me, it's tracfone.vzwentp

The one that it default to probably does not work

Disabling the 4g had no bad effect on speed.

Unable to flash TWRP after latest update (UMIDIGI_F1_V1.0_20190124_20190715-1743).

Saw that there was an update available, so I updated. I lost magisk root like I had expected and was going to reflash TWRP and get magisk reinstalled. Well, it's not working. I've tried flashing various different F1 TWRP ports with both adb/fastboot and sp flash tool. While I try to boot into recovery it will flash a thin green sliver of pixels at the top of the screen and reboot into system. Does anyone know of a fix? I can always try and contact the guys over at TWRPbuilder and see if they can see what's wrong with their port, but other than that I have no clue how to get this working again.

Update 20190715 breaks root and (as of this moment) prevents the installation of TWRP. I had to go back down to update 2019052811 before it would all work again.
