Razer Junglecat - Leap into battle!

The bundled RP2 case has no cut out for the Razer RGB logo. That really remove every incentive of buying it for the RP2.

Chroma + Hue - No more custom Synapse layout?

I have both Philips Hue and Razer Synapse 3 Chroma Keyboard, mouse and mousepad. It took me a while to understand what's what. There a choice do you want the Philips Hue app to control both the Hue and Razer light or do you want Synapse to control both Hue and Razer light. You can install both but the software gets unstable when Razer updates its software. It breaks my Hue configuration more than once. I would go with Synapse controlling the Hue and Razer lighting as the Hue Playbar is mounted behind my PC monitor and it's mainly to sync with games. First thing, uninstall both Hue windows software and Razer Synapse. Setup the Hue light using its mobile app, the Entertainment area. Install the latest Synapse 3 on windows 10 and use Synapse's Hue module to connect to your Hue bridge. That's it. The latest Chroma visualizer will take over both the Hue and Razer lighting. You could also configure the Chroma Studio for a more in-depth RGB configuration.

Apt-x on RP2

https://www.aptx.com/product-listing?brand=260 Razer did have aptx tech in their product. Just not on their phone. Besides, any phone that has a Qualcomm 845 SOC can add Aptx standard that already belongs to Qualcomm. https://www.androidauthority.com/qualcomm-snapdragon-845-specs-820561/ Maybe the Razer phone team got fired before they could add that feature. Razer 2 phone is good enough gaming phone now as the game boost still does its job. I just wish they would add Aptx audio and it would be a complete gaming phone. Anyway, my next phone would be ROG if razer decided to surrender to the competition. https://www.androidauthority.com/qualcomm-aptx-bluetooth-codec-explained-787716/

Apt-x on RP2

That sucks! It just confirm that Razer does not give a poop about their phone. I will not support any Razer new product as the chance of them abandoning is rather high. Same policy as Google, wait three years if the product is still supported yeah there a good chance it would be supported. I am currently waiting on Google Stadia if it's still around in 2022 with plenty of games. I would buy one. LOL!

PLEASE update SYNAPSE 3.0 with OFFLINE MODE.

Don't understand why Keyboard and Mouse driver needs to be online 100% of the time. Incredibly intrusive.

Chroma Apps for Games from Windows 10 Store not working

Welcome to the club. Sometimes work perfectly sometimes I need to manually turn it off at the connect menu and turn it on again. If there too many problems just do a clean install should fix it.

Synapse 3 for Mac

Razer cares about market share. Even their own product, if they don't sell as well as expected it will eventually be abandon. I was a Mac user, I find it impossible to keep up with Apple. They release a new OS so often that it made my software investment incompatible with each in-between releases. I give up and move to Window 10 if though I hate Microsoft more.

Synapse 3 for Mac

Its a combination of things that drove me off Macbook. I want to upgrade the HDD bought one OEM and replace it myself. A few weeks, I notice of HDD is slowing down like a malfunction. I run diagnostic and realize that my new HDD is about to fail. Did a search and realize that apple HDD has custom firmware. I need to buy one of those drives. So I put back my original Mac HDD, 128GB just too small. I remember another incident, my parallel software that I bought not long ago to run Windows alongside macOS is incompatible with their new OS release. Just too much cash milking mechanism build into owning a Mac. When my MacBook firmware can't be upgraded to support 64bit OS. I decided to say goodbye to Mac for good. At the end of the day, I have zero regrets and save a pile of money. Windows notebook are not glorious but they are dirt cheap and have a lower ownership cost in the long run.

Chroma Apps for Games from Windows 10 Store not working

In my case, I first install the Philips Hue and Synapse 3. When Synapse 3 did a software upgrade, I started encountering a light sync issue. I uninstall both Hue and Synapse 3 and install only Synapse 3 and use its module to control Hue that resolves my light sync issue up to a point that I can get it to work by turning off and on when the light doesn't sync. Its like jackpot sometimes it works without me doing anything. If there an RGB solution that just works, I want to hear about it.

Synapse 3 for Mac

I was a big Apple fan because of its premium creative design, when I first saw the MagSafe power adaptor I am floored and bought the Mac immediately. I also bought the first iPad. Anyway, Apple has changed a lot under Tim Cook. He is a 100% corporate guy, sacrificing creativity in the name of profit margin.

Do avoid NZXT as well, they are worse than Razer. They upload massive amounts of data from 30 to 100 gigabytes per month. https://www.reddit.com/r/NZXT/comments/blewb0/til_that_nzxt_cam_is_spyware_that_doesnt_work/

March Security Update Now Available [RP2] [Global] [ThreeUK]

Rox598Hey insiders! Razer have dropped a new update for global variants of the Razer Phone 2! This update includes All security patches throughout March 2020 Sorry for the wait on this but please enjoy and more importantly stay safe! RP2 is a lousy phone if you need Bluetooth audio connection as it only supports SBC. Even my sub-$200 Samsung A30 support AAC Bluetooth audio. Razer phone pride itself as a high-end gaming phone but lack any form of higher-end Bluetooth audio support. I thought it's a given that it will have high-end AAC or aptx support so I never check before buying a RP2. My mistake which I would not repeat.

The advantage of Philips Hue Bridge is low latency. It's fast enough to turn your house into a disco joint.

March Security Update Now Available [RP2] [Global] [ThreeUK]

Rox598Unfortunately other codec support isn't supported so far that's why it keeps going back. Hopefully it's something Razer will look at. It's 2020 who still use SBC codec for audio. Shame I would not buy RP3 as I know Razer doesn't have the know-how to make a proper phone.

March Security Update Now Available [RP2] [Global] [ThreeUK]

NK.33I just replaced my RP2 with a Oneplus 8 Pro - its simply outstanding! Didn't even bother applying this update for my RP2 given all the bad feedback here... I have a Razer Junglecat for the RP2 - not sure what to buy for my OnePlus in terms of gamepad - really want the Razer Kishi but it seems to be taking ages to come out....does anyone actually know when its coming out...? IF its coming out lol? You should apply the update. It's basically a Google Security Patch for the phone. No new feature just makes the phone a little bit more secure, as you are a mobile gamer it becomes important. A lot of malware spread via pretending to be a gaming app.

Razer Phone 2 MR4 (9.0) Update Now Live!

Regret not getting the pixel that has proper audio Bluetooth codec enabled, apt-x, and apt-x HD support. I totally need apt-x support no point buying any good Bluetooth earpiece to pair with Razer Phone 2 which Razer also sells.

Razer Phone 2 MR4 (9.0) Update Now Live!

I got $500, regret spending on RP2 6 months ago. Now I stop buying Razer products altogether. RP2 definitely don't meet mid-end phone expectation. Redmi Note 9 Pro supports AptX, AptxHD, and LDAC for $250 asking price. Razer really smells no smoke. Can tell your bang CEO. https://www.androidauthority.com/redmi-note-9-pro-review-1092000/#:~:text=If%20you%20are%20planning%20to,headphones%20support%20the%20necessary%20codec.

We Need a Razer Phone 3! Don't give up Razer!

SoulDude99Razer needs to make a Razer phone 3. The razer phone 2 is the best phone I've owned. And I've owned many. Razer... You really need to stay in the game. Show your dominance! Don't run off with your tail been your legs! Please explain to me what makes the RP2 phone the best phone? I have US$500 and I spend it RP2, I have LG Apt-X Bluetooth headset and the Apt-X is not enabled. My previous phone Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 has AAC, and it's half the price. SBC low bitrate Bluetooth audio is unacceptable for RP2 that cost the much. I used to buy Razer for its Chroma but not anymore. I despise the brand now.

I am glad you are happy with your RP. I am not. You don't even know what is Apt-X, its a high bitrate Bluetooth audio that gives better audio that uses it. Everyone is capturing user data the important thing is what they do with it whether they would legally anonymous the data and protect it from bad actors, Google claims to do that, but I can only be hopeful plus I don't trust apple as well. If you are concern with privacy, Razer is worse than Xiaomi, they have keyloggers and track the website you visit. https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/8klf7a/razer_synapse_privacy_policy_keylogging_and/ People like me LOL!, people like me get educated about the things around me and not let emotion and fanboyism get the better of me. I am done communicating with you.
