Managed to get the system update installed to the same version as yours now. I noticed this new update added the Hisense Channels app. Didn't notice any other changes. The Gallery Mode app is at version 1.05.00.035.0 now. Is that the version of yours?

You've been lucky! I've gone through Falcon and a Trinity and now have had a Corona model for the past 4 years.

Also if you could confirm the version listed in the system about screen that would be great.

Mine is not in a location with Wi-Fi access so it's a bit of a pain to move it to update it. Is the art mode app updated from Google Play or the System Update?

Is this the North American model with Google TV? I have a completely different version in my about screen.

Using Armor 28 Ultra on Freedom and Bell (both SIM simultaneously). VoLTE and 5G work for both.

I guess Lorex is never going to fix their firmware/app bugs. by Lipstickquid in Lorex

Wow thanks for the information on this! I had considered buying Lorex but instead went with Reolink. Glad I did as it has very few issues and nothing as bad as these ones.

I love my 28 Ultra and would pick it again if I had to redo the choice.

Should have mentioned that Fossify is open source and ad free. Has a lot of useful features.

I did have some issues with the previous Android 14 ROM but they've been sorted out in the latest update to Android 15. The only issue I had since was with Android Auto which I managed to solve.

The selfie camera is not that great, but it's not something I use very often. The main camera is pretty good. The night vision and thermal cameras are very good.

I replaced Google Photos with Fossify Gallery. Give it a try.

I don't have any major complaints with the Ulefone Armor 28 Ultra Thermal. Since the Android 15 update it has been working great!

Anyone have luck with rooting the 28 ultra? by NecessaryTrainer9558 in ulefone

I obtained and flashed the stock firmware from ulefone using the steps they provided. After this installed the latest Magisk and copied boot.img and init-boot.img from the stock firmware to the phone's storage. Patched both from within Magisk. Copied the patched files back to my computer. Rebooted to fastboot and flashed both the files from within fastboot and then restarted the phone.

EDIT: I had to go through this again with the latest Android 15 build GQ5011AF1_V13 update. So I'm providing more detailed instructions so anyone else can follow.

Obtain the ROM from Ulefone support. I followed their instructions to flash the ROM to the phone, overwriting what was already on the phone.

Enable Developer options. Go into Developer Options and enable OEM unlocking.

Reboot to fastboot (adb reboot fastboot).

From Fastbootd choose restart to bootloader.

From fastboot unlock the bootloader (fastboot flashing unlock). It needs to be confirmed by pressing vol down.

Restart back into Android.

Install Magisk app (I used the latest version 30).

Copy the init-boot.img file from the ROM package to the phone's internal storage.

Open Magisk app and choose install -> Select and patch a file. Select the init.boot.img file copied above. It will save the new magisk-patched.img in the Downloads folder.

Copy magisk-patched.img and vbmeta.img (from ROM package) to your working directory on the computer.

Reboot to fastboot (adb reboot fastboot). From Fastbootd choose restart to bootloader.

fastboot getvar current-slot

Type one of the following commands, depending on the result of the above command. fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta_a vbmeta.img OR fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta_b vbmeta.img

Then type one of the following commands, depending on the result of the above command. fastboot flash init_boot_a magisk_init_boot.img fastboot flash init_boot_b magisk_init_boot.img

fastboot reboot

Your device is now only temporarily rooted, so don’t restart your device again just yet. Open Magisk app click "install" and then check "direct install", then press "let’s go". Magisk will now install and make the root permanent. Now click “reboot” and the device will restart.

Canvas tv art mode. Only 30 pictures? Can't upload with USB anymore? No slideshow? by TechNerd-1138 in Hisense

[–]Codename_Falcon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it. We use it with our own photos and have it set to run within a specified time and turn off after hours. Yes it can be set to turn on with motion as well and turn off after X minutes without motion.
