    Post Any chance of salvaging my screen?

    I really liked this phone. I'm tempted to buy another to replace it and see what I can get on ebay for this afflicted phone. But I'd be really pissed if the same thing happened again. I haven't been able to find anything online suggesting this is a problem for this phone, so I'm assuming it's...

    Thread Any chance of salvaging my screen?

    My Mate 10 Pro was working beautifully when I started taking pics and it glitched out. I rebooted and now if my screen brightness is over about 40%, I have a super bright green light on the bottom of the phone. And the whole screen seemed to have very subtle "screen door" effect. It's just...

    Post EMUI 9.1 update - all notifications late or not appearing

    totally bummed. my Mate 10 Pro screen just went crazy. It now has a bright green line all across the very bottom of the screen. And the whole screen now has a faint "screen door" effect going on. just enough to be irritating. I doubt I can live with it, but I loved this phone.

    Post Umidigi F1 - questions and missing Pie functions

    I'm no camera expert, really never expected much from a phone camera. but I'd call it a bit below average. I currently have LG V30+, Essential PH-1, Huawei Mate SE, and the F1 and it definitely finishes last in the camera department. Seems to struggle with the focus and fairly often the...

    Post Umidigi F1 - questions and missing Pie functions

    does seem to be a proximity sensor problem on this phone. i see the option to calibrate it, but not turn it on or off. calibration fails every time edit: proximity sensor seems to be working now. calibration said it failed but after reboot, it does seem to be working correctly.
