RP2 - 2 major issues with Pie Update for me...any help?

Probably the first phone to have a screen notch was the Essential Phone (PH-1). But, the iPhone X probably made it the big "trend". Since then, many other phones have followed this design (from Motorola, LG, Samsung, Google, and so on). The reason for it is to "stretch" the screen out to the top edge, while leaving space for the camera, sensors, etc. Samsung has taken a slightly different approach to this with their Galaxy S10 line, in how there's just a small "hole punch" in the screen for the camera. I'm not a fan of it, personally. Though, I also don't care for curved screens (like the Galaxy S9 line) or rounded corners (like my previous phone, the LG G6). Just give me a normal rectangle! However, it is the current "arms race" in smartphones: maximizing the screen to as much of the front of the phone as possible. There have been some other phones that have taken a different approach to this, as well. Some phones have the front camera hidden away and pops out form the top when nee

Razer Phone 2 - Fingerprint option missing

Hmm... very strange. Could be defective? Maybe a driver issue? I dunno. Especially if factory resets aren't fixing it. From what I can gather, seems other phones have experienced this issue, too. Some have been able to fix it by accessing a hardware control/diagnostic tool... though, I'm not sure how to access that on the Razer Phone, though.

Just wanted to confirm... You went into the system settings, then Security & Location, and you DON'T see the following there, right?

Razer Phone 2 and Android Auto

Thought I'd provide an update here... I went to my dealer's service center today, and they performed a software update on my car. Now Android Auto connects just fine! There's still the matter of the app constantly crashing on the phone, though.

Android Pie MR1 Now Available (RP2 Unlocked Models)

Another update so quickly after the Pie update, I'm impressed. As others have said, I would like to see a detailed changelog as well.

Android 9 Pie

DGMurdockIIIWhen will razer phone 1 update be out When will the Razer Phone 1 receive Android 9.0 Pie? The Razer Phone 1 is currently under evaluation for Android 9.0 Pie. From: https://support.razer.com/mobile/razer-phone-2 In other words, Razer is still looking into it, but have no confirmation, one way or the other, if the Razer Phone 1 will receive 9.0. I would say it's more than capable of doing so... but it's going to depend on how dedicated Razer is to supporting their devices.

Android 9 Pie

I will say this: getting unlocked phones is (usually) the best option. In most cases, they get the fastest support from the manufacturer, since they don't have to go through any carrier approval process, or are forced to include any carrier bloatware (I don't know if the ATT&T or Three branded versions of the RP2 include bloat, but my history has shown this is likely). To give you an idea of my history with Android, the phones I've owned were Motorola Droid 2 (Verizon), Motorola Droid 4 (Verizon), Moto X (unlocked), Moto X 3rd gen (unlocked), LG G6 (T-Mobile), and now the Razer Phone 2 (unlocked). The three unlocked phones I owned either received updates faster than their carrier-branded variants, or received support longer (Motorola is somehat infamous for having dropped update support entirely for some carrier-branded phones). The Verizon- and T-Mobile-branded phones had extra software included that couldn't be uninstalled (well, not without root, that is). The only real downside

$300 Off Razer Phone 2 For a Limited Time Only

CaraCuteHSis it really worth the price? instead of Iphone or samsung I paid $600 for mine. I can certainly see why Razer originally asked $800 for it (I'm just cheap, haha...). $500 is a steal. To me personally, it's better than an iPhone or a Samsung Galaxy [Letter][Number]. However, I won't deny I'm biased in my opinions, since I do not like iOS (too locked down for my tastes) or Samsung (I don't like their customized brand of Android). With iPhone, you have no option to install apps Apple doesn't approve of (without jailbreaking, of course). And my experience with heavily customized builds of Android, they really drag down in performance over time. The only Android phones I've used that didn't have performance issues over time were the Moto X 1st and 3rd gen (Motorola started using a near-stock build of Android since the Moto X). Razer also runs a nearly-stock version of Android. The only "customizations" are a couple of apps, such as Cortex and Chroma, as well as including Nova

$300 Off Razer Phone 2 For a Limited Time Only

Man... and I just got this phone last month. Oh well. It's a great phone, and I don't regret my purchase at all. Though, I will say I liked the Tudia case over the Spigen one. While the Spigen case looks nice, I went with the Tudia case since the opening for the Razer logo was smaller (a triangle to match the exact shape). https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07K73P7NX/

Android 9 Pie

BabelShallBurnAm I the only who has dark symbols for click, battery, etc? Is there a way to fix this? Because I can't use a dark wallpaper... Check your Nova Settings. 1. Open Nova Settings (app in the app drawer; can also be accessed by a two finger swipe up if that gesture is enabled) 2. Go to "Look & feel" 3. Under "Notification bar", there will be an option for "Dark icons"

Razer Phone 2 and Android Auto

Android Auto still doesn't work even with the Pie update (despite being told it would be fixed with a system update). It still doesn't bring up the connected display in my car (2016 Honda Accord). This, and the lack of support for ARcore, are my only issues with the phone. Everything else about it is perfect to me.

Feedback Requested - Mobile Game Booster

Not sure if this has been suggested before, but... I'd like to see an option to set a different refresh rate for display and input. My particular want for this is with Pokémon Go. The game looks and runs great at 120 Hz, however there is a detriment to this: spinning Poké Balls (for curve throws) is A LOT harder to pull off than at 60 Hz. Due to this, I run the game at 60 Hz. Seems this would be technically possible. I've had it "glitch" on me a couple of times. Despite being set to 60 Hz, sometimes when I open the game (either from waking the phone or switching back to it from another app), the display is running at 120 Hz, but inputs are still at 60 Hz (i.e. not difficult to pull off a curved throw).

Android 9 (Pie) Now Rolling Out (Now Available For Three branded devices!)

Favorite feature of the phone is definitely the specs. The SD845 and 8GB RAM helps it handle anything with ease!

Razer Phone 2 - Android Auto issues

Sadly, changing to Audio Source didn't get a response from my car's dash, either. I've tried every USB option (even Supply Power, because why not), and nothing. Even if we haven't gotten it working yet, it's all part of the troubleshooting process. So, I appreciate your help, anyways. :)

Razer Phone 2 - Android Auto issues

Yeah, the app is installed (hey, I get it; gotta check EVERYTHING when troubleshooting!). 1. Enabled USB debugging, and the default USB connection was already set to MTP. 2. Tried another cable, still nothing. First one was some random brand I bought off of Amazon (Sabrent), second one was from Nintendo.

Razer Phone 2 - Android Auto issues

Thanks for the quick reply, Rox! I couldn't use the cable that came with the phone, since it's USB-C to USB-C. My car has a USB-A port built in. Yes, the USB notification does come up when plugged in. Interestingly enough, my car's dash did display an "unknown device" pop-up when I tried the PTP and MIDI options (but nothing when I tried the "transfer files" option).
