Hi, Thank you very much for getting back to me.
I have forwarded your case to the engineers before # TKID210826738 but you have not given us feedback yet.
I am afraid it’s unfair to conclude the firmware is rubbish without anything being done.
If you are still troubled by the current issue, we will be appreciated if you could give us an update.
Thank you for your understanding.
