Lock screen controls

Amazon, Play Music, Castbox podcast app. I'm having trouble logging I to my Pandora account so that one isn't tested yet. I find it really troublesome that the Google Play Music app won't even work.

Lock screen controls

So after multiple tries and changing the settings, it finally worked, however, not on the first try. I actually had to open both google music and amazon music at the same time and have them queued up on a song at the same time before the controls would show up on the lock screen. I found that out by accident when google music was playing a song but still no lock screen controls and I frustratingly opened amazon and just started playing a song forcing google to pause. Some how, that was the magic trick. No it works flawlessly as I expected it to.

It is, I bought it from the Microsoft Store. Good deal too, I didn't realize their $150 off sale had ended and they started another promo with the wireless charger and hammerhead ear buds included free. However, they still had the price tag on the display with the $150 discount. So they honored the discounted price and still gave me the charger and earbuds for free.

$300 Off Razer Phone 2 For a Limited Time Only

Shyguy144Are there any other cases for the phone besides the ones Razer has? You can get the Spigen case on Amazon for $14. That's what I have.

$300 Off Razer Phone 2 For a Limited Time Only

I got mine for $150 off plus an additional 10% discount from the Microsoft store. Additionally they had a promo going for the wireless charger and hammerhead earbuds free with purchase. So I guess in the long run I got just as good of a deal. Coming from an iPhone 7 plus I love using the wireless charger. The phone also is great, however, I think Android will take some getting used to. My only complaint is the fingerprint sensor can at times be finicky and other times be so sensitive that I barely have to touch it and it unlocks.

$300 Off Razer Phone 2 For a Limited Time Only

BPMOmegaMan... 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/ I considered that one too. I just wasn't sure the quality and since I've had Spigen cases before I trusted it. But, in all reality, most of these are made the same anyway so it probably doesn't matter.

[RP2] Are we going to see Android Q?

I've been really considering whether I should continue to use my RP2 or get another phone. I've only had it since Feb and Pie came a couple months later, but my concern remains on the security updates. That is an Android must and should be "phone manufacturer 101". I pay attention to cyber security related stuff and every now and then an exploit for Android comes out that is sys related not app related. It bugs me to follow those stories and hear Google patched the exploit, yet, we're still rocking the Feb 2019 security patch. A patch is not an OS update, like the Pie to 10 and any interim number variant with a small feature fix/improvement. It is a necessity for personal security of you mobile device that contains most if not all of you personal information.

Razer Phone 2 bluetooth connectivity issue

I have issues sometimes in the car, but even my iPhone 7+ had intermittent issues with not connecting right away.my Bluetooth issues are with wireless headphones. I constantly have drops in connection resulting in quick blips while listening to music. I actually had a pair of Galaxy Buds that I had to return because she the signal would drop they would make an electronic interference type of noise. I guess this is more because of them communicating together. I have a pair of Sony ear buds, buds connected to each other by wire, and really have drops when I am doing some sort of activity where the phone is more than 10" from the head phones. Really hoping for a fix on this. And also, more often than not, while wearing my Galaxy Watch and I answer a call on the phone (not on the watch) the screen will remain on, the watch will be selected as the medium for the call but all sound is coming out of the phone. I can't change it either so I have to hold the phone up to my ear but slightly aw

New list of issues with Razer Phone 2 since the recent major update.

I haven't seen any issues with the 120hz however, Bluetooth is a huge issue for me. I've said it in another forum post but I had to disable the phone function for my Galaxy Watch because my RP2 constantly would show the call going through my Galaxy Watch but the sound was coming though the phone. This would result in the screen not deactivating forcing me to hold the phone up to my ear but angled away. I could select "Phone" or "Speaker" all I wanted but it wouldn't change. I also have carplay issues. I've had the flashlight issue as well forcinge to open and close the camera app just to get it to function again.

How does your RP2 hold up?

I've had mine for about 13 months too. I haven't seen any major issues yet but it's been in a case and had a tempered glass screen protector on it since I got it. The only appearance issues are a couple of small dents in the speaker grills. Also, last night I took it out of it's case and looked at the back and noticed a few small spots on the glass. They look like air pockets that have formed, possibly separation caused by heat. Other than that, appearance wise, the phone is pretty much new looking. Now the speakers on the other hand, those were the first to go. Now anything close to half volume results in crackling.

Where are the security updates?

That September update came as a surprise to me. The only other update was the Android 9 update from last May I believe it was. It only had the February security update. I am pretty sick of this. I should have bought a Note 9 instead. Since this is my only phone I tend to have less patience with these things. I know Samsung sucks with updates too but they are usually decent about the security patches.
