Anyone else have Bluetooth latency issues with their Razer Phone 2?

Supposedly the RP2 doesnt support the APT-X codec, which is what newer devices and headset use to reduce/eliminate latency. I hope that Razer will patch this in a future update.

Razer phone 3

There's nothing official, but given the recent downsizing in the mobile division, I wouldn't hold my breath waiting on a RP3. I just don't think Razer can compete in the mobile device market.

Razer Phone 3

I switched from an iPhone 7 to the Razer Phone 2. However, I only paid $299 for the RP2 and there's no way I would pay full price. It is a good phone, but there are a ton of little software issues that pop up from time to time that really dampen what should be a great device. I doubt there will be a RP3. I'd even wager that there will be few updates for the RP2 in the future. To win at mobile, you have to achieve economy of scale and there's no way Razer can achieve it.

Would you buy the RP2 again? Why or why not.

I hope that the USB port problem might be limited to a certain batch rather than being a device-wide issue and that Razer support takes care of it for the affected users. I’m enjoying using this device, but there are issues that keep popping up. The camera is janky. The call volume, even on speaker is lacking. But the screen is great and the speakers are awesome--that Dolby Atmos demo is jaw dropping. I don't game much but I did install the Dolphin emulator for grins and giggles and The Wind Waker worked great! Still not sure if I’m keeping it or not, but I’m putting it through the paces.

Apt-x on RP2

I completely understand your frustrations and am glad users like you are informing the community about issues like this. I bought the Razer Phone 2 because it looked solidly built, had good specs, and was reasonably priced at $300 on Black Friday. However, I like my stuff to work well with everything it's intended to work with. Handicapping your hardware to restrict interoperability and performance is not cool in my book. If this isn't some sort of a huge accidental miss by Razer (but seeing how indie developers say these protocols are disabled in the firmware, it seems purposely), it is sickening and has cost them my business. One reason I bought unlocked through Amazon was so I could return it if I wasn't satisfied.

Apt-x on RP2

I honestly can't understand why Razer would do such a thing other than to force compatibility with its own peripherals. And handicapping audio playback is just about the straw that broke the camel's back for me. This whole scenario gives me a negative impression of the Razer brand. I might use the phone a few more days, but my gut says to pack it up and send it back.

Apt-x on RP2

HammerfestYa, theirs a thread on XDA where they break down the following (light info, hit up XDA for more info): Bluetooth overlay apk: HID devices are explicitly DISABLED Audio Overlay apk: LITERALLY FORCES through settings, the Codec to SBC Audio Buffer preferences: low setting* *probably why even setting SBC codec to high preferences revert back to lowest when you pair ANY BT Audio device (seriously, I shelled out money for the Hammerheads that launched with this phone), and why audio quality lags and suchs horrible So imagine how I felt literally SICK TO MY STOMACH when I saw the image for the new BT headset: https://www.razer.com/gaming-audio/razer-hammerhead-true-wireless-earbuds Is that a RP1 or 2? Its too bad the AUDIO QUALITY WILL BE ABSOLUTE TRASH IF YOU USE THEM WITH A RAZER PHONE... ya, Support provided no answer, and firmware updates have provided no answer, It would be nice if they even supported any of the OTHER codecs if they didnt want to license AptX or AptX-HD b

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

Has anyone had problems with the controls constantly being onscreen while watching videos in the YouTube app? This does not happen on YouTube.com in the browser.

HammerfestNo, Absolute trash Bluetooth Audio due to MALICIOUS kneecapping in multiple places in the ROM by Razer I've seen this mentioned in other threads. It seems like this is a glaring omission by Razer. I'm not an audiophile but I do have some wireless earbuds to try.

awesomenexusBlueGreen462I use it carefully and tender ,I never ues it violence. When it charging,I will only use it for checking massage.However,with the same treatment even I playing game when charge at my old phone, it's charge port is stand more than 2.5 years , until today it runs normally, only has a little slack.It is the Samsung galaxy c 5,only cost 200 USD,but this is razer phone ,it costs 799 USD in February when I buy.I don't expect the charge port will be dead, Just after eight months of use with the carefully tend. If it's any consolation I've read quite a few instances of the charging port failing, so I doubt it was your handling of the device. There seems to be at least a bad batch, if the condition isn't a design failure that affects all units.

I decided to keep the RP2 and I'm posting from it now. It's a nice phone and I'm looking forward to loading up some emulators and putting it through its paces. I've already seen the camera lock up glitch. I'm definitely going to be mindful of the charging port and try to avoid using it with a cord connected.

I hoped this thread would make me more confident in my decision, but it’s actually raised more doubts. I know that I need to temper my expectation seeing as how I’ve paid less than what many of you did as early adopters. However, I believe in buying quality products that last and I’m seriously doubting the Razer Phone 2 meets that criteria. I saw the JerryRigEverything video where he tore the phone down and was complimentary of it’s build quality, but then I see many reports of failed charging ports and fingerprint scanners failing to be recognized.

[ rushLavenderWebsight898I love the phone but am experiencing intermittent charging problems. I don't think it is the port or cable because so far a reboot seems to fix it temporarily. This just started, so I am guessing there's a software incompatibility. For the moment, I'm not too worried, though I will be in contact with Razer support for any help they can provide. Have you tried wireless charging? If it works, I’d suspect the USB-C port has failed. If it doesn’t charge, then it might be a hardware failure elsewhere in the power system or a software issue. awesomenexusBlueGreen462Thanks for your reply,now l am seeking help form the support,but there are no reply after four days, they're said that they will reply me in 24 hours.l was disappointed. I will Continuous follow-up with the support until they give me a Suitable solution. I’m currently using a launch day iPhone 7. Walking into an Apple Store and getting help (even if you are charged for it) is one thing about Apple pr

awesomenexusBlueGreen462 My charge port is near completely dead,this is a very seriously problem,I can't charge,l will never buy razer's products, how can they let this problem happen, charging is the life of the phone. This is one of the most troubling issues I’ve seen reported by multiple users and it seems like the one year mark is the trigger point. I’d like to make this phone last at least two years or more. It’s funny that such a critical failure is being reported in a phone with a reputation for being solidly built. shmekermeisterI also have my Razer Phone 2 for more than half a year now, and I am really enjoying it. There are only two things that I don't like: Gorilla Glass is not what it used to be (there are lot's of scratches on the screen, even though I was very careful) and there is obvious lack in software department (only one system update, chroma app could have more features like adjustable color for each app...). Again, that’s another common complaint I’ve seen. I

Thanks for your reply. The has a huge upside (why I bought it). Have you had any hardware issues so far? I take care of my stuff so I want to get at least 2 years out of it.
