Any more news?

We just got July's patch with bug fixes. No word on Pie. Everybody here assumes early 2019 for Pie.

Well this sucks ... I recently picked up the Razer Phone at Bestbuy this past week. I had no idea there was a bluetooth problem until I tried connecting to my Fitbit. It finds it, but just never completes the link. Already purchased a case, screen protector and SD card. I really don't want to return this especially since Bestbuy charges a $35 restocking fee. Here's hoping they get this fixed in the next 10 days otherwise they might lose a customer.

Has anyone been able to get the Fitbit Ionic completely setup? That's really a deal breaker for me as my phone is pretty much always on silent.

No problem connecting Fitbit.

I'll be interested in knowing when pie would be delivered too.

I can say that I have not had a single issue with my fitbit other than some delays in notifications, but running a blaze, not an ionic.

Sadly it won't work until they fix BT.

What do you mean you're not Razer at the moment? You received the MR2 OTA?


Sorry badly written post. It should read:

I don't work for Razer support but at the moment the answers are:

MR2 was due out before the end of August

Pie likely will not be released until early 2019.

"Razer is now focusing its resources into the development of the second-generation Razer Phone and accompanying software releases which will extend its software and services from PC into the mobile market." -Razer

That's nice but, what about software releases for the current device?

Razer promised that MR2 will be released in the end of August, but still not yet released

I'm not razer but at the moment.

MR2 three days ago

Best guess on Pie Feb 19

but nothing so loud as their silence at the moment

Dear Razer Phone Support:

Could you please provide ETA status on the OTA for:

A) 8.1.0 Maintenance Release 2; and
😎 9.0 Pie.

Thank you.

I didn't know a maintenance release was scheduled for 8.1.0, but I will selfishly hope it's been delayed to include a fix for the streaming FLAC bug I reported directly to Razer (after pinning it down with the help of a couple Plex devs).

It's probably just delayed because of testing or something, but I can think wishfully…

I'm not sure what the bluetooth issue is. Can anyone elaborate?
I connect to BT speakers without any issues and get good range. When I connect to my Bluetooth Hammerhead I get horrible connection. If I turn my head even slightly it cuts out. I found out that if I simple put a finger on the little controller module I lose connection and just figured it was the headphones having an issue.

Anyway, speaking of connection issues...

Anyone finding they get less connection with this phone compared to others. For example, I live in an area where LTE is strong and weak just walking down the street. My Google Pixel 2 XL stays connected and has a strong connection. In the same areas I'm finding that my Razer Phone disconnects completely.

Thoughts?


The BT issue we all have is not being able to connect to 'smart' devices. Car stereos, fitbits, things that do more than just provide an output for sound.

As far as signal goes, I have zero issues .

Ỳeah no update here either although I'm on 3 so maybe that's why. Anyone using the global images?

BT issue is that on MR1 some users cannot auto connect to devices (mainly car head units). Neither do they get any meta on connected devices (track listings/ dialled numbers/ etc.)

I've not noticed the Razer is any better or worse with 4G but 4G is very hit and miss even on the same devices where I am anyway

I thought we were getting MR2 for 8.1.0 by end of August? I think this is the last day of August.

Copy of the e-mail I received...

Hi Cliff!



This issue will be fixed by the Android 8.1 MR2 update which will be available by the end of August.



Thank you for your patience.

They had previously advised it would be in Pie in this thread /razer-phone-with-bluetooth-car-audio.30133/page-8 but then corrected themselves to another user and myself.

Given it's the 29th I'm still a little unsure!!

Nice!

No,MR2 is out in the next few days to fix the BT problem....Pie, my best guess is not for a good while yet.

Oh really? Coz I contacted Razer via email a month ago and they said they will fix bt problem in Pie.

Will this MR2 include new camera updates or modes? Such a good guess

I think we will get this update in 1 or 2 month. Razer need to fix the bluetooth problem and that patch will release in Android Pie. Be Patient :)

Zane_Magnum
Let's just hope Razer doesn't follow suit with fragmentation; 6 months is a long time to update.
This would be the reason why I may stay with the Pixel line.
