@ajb2k3 well as I mentioned in the response above the one to you, I had updated the firmware according to the video on the M5stack.com website; as the only video available that walks you through the process, has you install the uFlow firmware.
I've flashed it several times in fact; with the same end results.
The worse part is the super annoying buzz that comes from the speaker; and then after it sitting there powered on for a few hours the cheap adhesive pads they used to attach the screen cover started failing, and the screen cover started lifting at the top.
