Root and you can get APTX. There's almost 0 update anyways so you don't lose much with Root, except lower quality Netflix.

Why would I root a phone and ruin the warranty for something that should be included. Did you actually read the thread? Read what was said?
rooting was mentioned and ruled out...
would rooting fix the awful support?
would rooting fic the hardware issue BOTH the RP1 and RP2 share? ( SIM deregistering then SD card reader issues followed by a slow decline into a terminal reboot loop????)
would rooting fix ANY of that?
didn't think so

Rooting your phone does not void the warranty, as it is fully reversable.
I've never had SIM deregistering and SD card issues.

Reboot loop is usually software issue, and knowing how to root helps with fixing it without any help from support.

While you're here complaining about razer support, I'm enjoying APTX HD with my RP2. Just saying.

hmmm seems there's evidence to the contrary that rooting does indeed void your warranty


"Yes, rooting would void any device's warranty. And since people have been giving impression about how smooth the OS is, I don't see why u need to tweak anymore.
It's 2017, I just can't find the reason to root or flash (incomplete/in development) custom rom anymore, since OEM(?) roms are so much better now.

If bloatware is really annoying, then you can risk installing custom rom from complete strangers on your phone and be happy with that."

I am enjoying my playing around with a Xiaomi Mi mix phone with 5g no less and apt-x which will do until the black shark 3 is released and I'll be on it like a rash.
all this while Razer support and devices are still crap and you are , as always, conceited and wrong about voiding the warranty with root. what's really funny, i work in IT building bespoke systems and a boot loop can indeed be hardware related. The replacement Razer device was sold on ebay.. good riddance
also there's shouldn't be a need to go to the length of rooting a phone and installing a small slew of software just to augment what the manufacturer was too tight fisted to shell out pennies for.

Chill out man.

This company and their product are not perfect, we all know it.
I get it you have issues with your ex-phone. It is frustrating when the thing you buy stops working.

But your title says APT-X on Razer Phone 2. And I'm here giving tips on how to get it to work. When other members joins this thread hoping to find solution, they will find my post which tells them how to get the function they want. Instead of walls of texts complaining stuff other than APT-X.

Now onto rooting. Your info is half correct. Yes, If you return your phone back to Razer with root, or more precisely, with bootloader unlocked (prerequisite of rooting), the warranty is void. However what it fails to tell you is that with RP2, you can always unroot and relock bootloader. Your warranty will be valid again provided that you haven't break any hardware when messing with system settings with root privileges.

Without root, there's not much you can do to damage hardwares, hence why I say bootloop is usually software related. In these situations, you most likely can correct this with methods similar to rooting, by flashing stock ROM (which requires bootloader unlock, as suggested by Razer official support)

Anyways, I hope you're happy with your new phones. But honestly soon you'll just find yourself in same situation as you're in now, as no android phone is perfect. It's good to have some knowledge on some DIY troubleshooting skills, it will save you a lot of time and energy to argue with customer support. Otherwise, an iPhone and their impeccable service probably suit you better.

Let's be civil about this guys okay?

Yes I know APT-X is missing and yes I know it really sucks, it's on the list of things I keep bringing up (although it's not at the top) I am fighting for you all but please keep it civil.

LOL what a collection of amateur passive aggressive, from the opening line to the finishing line....that's kinda hilarious!
I've worked as a certified IT service engineer for 30 years and have always found if hilarious when amateurs have a wee rage!
I am chuckling. cheers for that!
