I'd like to draw attention to a forum subject which was previously sacked by Razer employees,
It was titled "Is Razer Lazy?"

Most probably their pride can't accept that statement:big_grin_:

I got my device last year in Nov 18 via a parallel importer. Immediately after I started the device, the update came in at 650MB.

Can you confirm if its a Singtel unit?


That build number indicates that it more than likely is a singtel model yes. You can flash the OTA file (doesnt void warranty) to go to the proper unlocked builds if you wish LINK

I think they're trying to migrate all 1 owners to the 2 with that discount to avoid development for the 1.

Wish Razer was just a bit more open with their phone plans....the RP1 hasn't had an update in what, 6 months? It's still on last July's security update.

So there is a post in another thread (/razer-phone-with-bluetooth-car-audio.30133/page-8) where someone had a reply from support stating that the BT issue with 8.1 MR1 will only be fixed with a roll out of Pie.

It doesn't say when that's going to happen, just hints that it will. That's not so unusual as I find Razer Phone support big on lip service but small on action. However bear in mind that Oreo 8.0 was released August 2017 but Razer didn't release it until April 2018 (8.1 MR0).

In otherwords I'd be surprised if it rolled out this calendar year.

And even more surprised if I'm still using the phone when it does due to their apparent lack of concern over fixing the 8.1 MR1 BT issues (many people have been without a properly functional BT since May).

Thanks for your hint 🙂

when will we get update

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 🙂

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

Well if we don't get our RP1 Pie then at least we'll get our toaster.

Its not even about Pie, its about the whole update fiasco. We purchased a flag ship phone by an established brand and get outdated updates every two lightyears

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

exactly and I would at least like to see pie and then push up the monthly Android security updates at the very least

To call the Razer flagship sounds a bit off to me. It is more upper mid-range for it's price point, compared to the Samsung Galaxy line and other well-known brands which cost a whole lot more upon release. I kind of expected this issue going into my purchase, but I agree that Razer should have better support. They are a hardware company after all.

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

When it was released in 2017 the price was very much top-tier tbh, especially among operators. No updates after the first 9 months is an utterly inexcusable situation. It doesn't matter if they're working on delivering Pie (a year late) to RP2 customers, or if they've not got the staff - this is their failure and they've not even addressed it.

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 .

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.

Would love info on pie for razer phone 1

Sadly it won't work until they fix BT.

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.

Guys, I'm just going to leave this here - from the Insider House Rules.


We also don't want to do things which are against company terms but they seriously don't care us... Making this....

https://www.reddit.com/r/razer/comments/bzys98/just_finished_this_wood_design_for_razer_phone_2/

But no software updates...

just a comment from Razer stating one way or the other if rge RP1 is or isn't getting an update would be nice.Almost all support seemed to have disappeared once the RP2 was released less than a year after the RP1 and no real word from Razer since.
