im not risking flashing mine ill just sit and wait for the OTA update from ThreeUK as i dont fancy flashing it now plus i may have to send the phone in for a repair as cleaning the phone i managed to have the top speaker plastic grill part come away from the adhesive leaving a cloth like material on the top of the phone as the plastic grill came cleanly away. :( i wasnt that happy yesterday when this happened

Can I flash this over a 3 branded phone or do I need to debrand first?
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] ayaz51:
debranding is super easy if you have OSX. cant say same about PC.

If you download the DP1, Open the run script, get into download mode, copy and paste into terminal (bar a few changes eg ./adb fastboot before each command ) go through 20 odd lines of code and reboot voila.

Anyone successfully flashed twrp and rooted after Oreo update?
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Kimbaroth:
I'm having the same issue, can anyone please help us???

Edit: Fixed this issue relocking the bl and then unlocking it again (both bl and critical).

Fresh installed MR3 and sideloaded the OTA. It installed smoothly after that. =)

Spoke to support regarding Three UK customers,
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] navin2max:
My update popped up yesterday afternoon , though I am living in LA.....

Maybe because I got the phone from Dubai, U.A.E......?! Anyways... Oreo looks pretty good, just having an issue installing Google camera , Latest 8.1 version...will see how to fix it !

Got to see if any other custom roms i can apply that looks better than Magisk ! Maybe stock Resurrection Remix ?! or Lineage...lets see

Cheers for the heads up

Just for anyone who is still not able to sideload the new update, the Oreo 8.1 Factory Image has been added to the Razer Development Portal
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] finbaar:
Looks like I will have to wait for Three to roll this out as I can't debrand. I have tried a Linux laptop and booting to Linux from a usb stick and the phone never offered me the chance to approve usb debugging. With my windows laptop I could get the phone to reboot into download mode (ADB reboot-bootloader) but then the laptop didn't recognise the the phone as ADB it just called it "Android" in device manager. I put W10 back on my Linux machine and the same happend. That's with 4 USB cables and trying different ports as well.
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Xplicit1992:
When i debranded my Three phone windows also called my phone "Android" in Device Manager. Have you tried right clicking on "Android" clicking update driver, click browse my computer for driver software, let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer, click have disk, then search for the folder where you should have downloaded the google drivers to, you can the select the ADB driver.

EDIT: When you go into download mode your no longer using ADB but Fastboot. Make sure the fastboot drivers are installed.

Bug Report: Crash while switching languages

Here is how to reproduce:

Go to Settings --> System --> Languages & Input

Select Languages

Add a language

Use the right "button" to move the secondary language to be primary

Settings will crash.

Can't reproduce here following the steps. What language are you selecting and can you upload a bug report?

I'm selecting "Español (Chile)". I'll upload a bug report soon.
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Rox598:
Yep no crash here even with that language setting, I even set it and went to the home screen :S

Bug report should shed light on it to the devs.

Has anyone noticed speaker distortion since oreo update?
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] 2ndcarpenter:
Has anyone else noticed if hotspot isn't working after the update to Oreo? It worked well before, but it now seems it's not "sharing" it's internet with connected devices via WI-FI. I did read that it seemed to be an 8.1 issue. My devices connect but they have no internet. I talked to Razer support, after finding out that it does work when in safe mode, they recommended a factory reset. I'd rather not do that, especially if it doesn't fix the problem. The "changing the APN" doesn't work either. My carrier doesn't allow changes, and if I create an identical APN I get no service, even with full signal and LTE+ showing.
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] navin2max:
Odd...it works perfectly fine on my unlocked phone, downloaded nearly 5 GB of app and updates. No issues so far.... looks to me its more of a personal issue to you and your carrier. Unlocked Razer of mine never gave such issues.
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Exelios:
Any Google camera mod that works with Oreo?
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] HomerSp:
Unfortunately, yes. I have contacted technical support, so we will see what they say.
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] parky169:
Hope it can be sorted and it not be a hardware issue
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Rox598:
Nope none. Can you be more specific like is it during certain things or everything? and can you upload a bug report when it happens to?
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] HomerSp:
For me it's all of the time, and not just during certain events. It's very noticeable when locking and unlocking the phone for example. I've tried the different Dolby Atmos profiles, and with it completely off, but it still happens. This definitely did not happen on 7.1.
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Rox598:
That's odd I've been watching Star wars on my lunch break and no distortion at all :S
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Exelios:
Same here, no audio issues what so ever.

Try to capture some logs or record the audio with another device and send it to Razer.
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] TheCrazyLex:
Hi [MENTION=2266182]HomerSp[/MENTION] and [MENTION=3462050]parky169[/MENTION],

does the disortion also happen when headphones are used

or is it exclusively on the speaker path?

If you attach a bug report zip, I will take a look but not sure whether it would contain useful data here.

Thanks!

After doing some testing with my music player and YouTube I noticed the crackling on YouTube but not all the time. Music player appeared to be fine. The YouTube app I restored from titanium, but when I uninstalled it and reinstalled it normally seems to be ok now. I will try a little longer and keep posted on my results

results i posted were not tested fully,i have now now noticed this crackling/buzz in the bottom speaker occurs infrequently it can be any type of audio that i use and varies from all kinds of volume levels..i have now contacted razer and waiting now for info on how to send the phone back to them.really disappointed to have to do this,i may even change phone altogether as i believe even with a phone replacement this is going to be recurring problem.question is how do you replace such a great device
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Maaviss:
French user of razer phone , since oreo update i must admit the system is better and the new options pretty useful ( color mode FINALLY to remove dat blue like standard mode , PIP,camera ect ... ) But now new bugs are here :

1 - [ Just after the oreo update when my phone reboot ] I lock the phone with the power button like always and when i try to unlock it the same way i have no reaction from my phone , just a shut off screen . The phone work because i can change the volume , feel the vibration from typing on the keyboard , play pause videos ect ... The screen turn on at a random time after ( 10 / 30 Sec , 1 / 5 min ... ) . I had check ALL the options on the phone ( screen , daydream , security ect ... ) the solution i ve tried is to do the factory reset lost my data but ... the same problem keep coming ...

Now i have a fresh and pure factory system ( without data ) and one more bug appear here ... :

2 - [ Just after the factory reset and the rebbot ] Netflix app doesnt work anymore , before this update i cannot find the app in the play store market [ dunno why ] (Your device is not supported / imcompatible with this model / version ) my bootloader is unlock maybe this can be the cause ? ) ) so the solution i use is to download the apk directly from the web . But I tried all the versions available ( grosso modo ) and they didnt work on my phone , before the update netflix was working perfectly ( just the usual crash/reboot after opening the app for the 1st time and then its ok ... ) . Till now i didnt know how to do for fixing this problem ...

3 - [ Since the day i have this phone but now ... its worst ... ] When i plug the charging cable on my razer phone the phone doesnt charge evreytime . Sometime its ok and sometime the phone will charge for 30 sec and then stop the charge ... 2/4/6 attemps later the phone finally charging dunno why ... ( i have again check the option and find the daydream/screensaver mode may be the cause ... ) . I have disabled the mode and now its better but sometime its keep happening ...

Great phone but this bugs are very annoying and some of them are here again after the oreo update ... its depressing ... game booster induce : flickering screen , landscape web browsing resolution problem and more ... the vibration motor is wack as usual oreo didnt change anything to dat ... sorry but its true ... when the people around me and MYSELF got pranked when i receive a simple notification i think a solution must be find ( control for the vibration motor in setting maybe ... ) , random crash ect ...

This update have ruined my phone ...

If someone have the same issues as me please help me ( i have search on the web but it seems im the only one with the 1st and 2nd problem after oreo update ... ) , this phone is great and i dont want to be forced to remplace it by an other model ^^...

[MENTION=8857126]Maaviss[/MENTION] I had the problem with Netflix aswell. Just use Google to download the latest Netflix APK and install it, that's all I did and Netflix works fine now.

Edit: Dunno if I'm allowed to say sites on here but to get legitimate APKs I use APKmirror.
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Maaviss:
Thanks dude but unfortunately i did EXACTLY this in the first place ( same website ) netflix apk ver 6.1.0 to date but i have the same issue , when i launch the app the netflix logo appear during 1 min and then a error message :

" Sorry we could not reach the netflix service . Please try again later (-9) "

Really depressed ...
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Xplicit1992:
That's weird mate. The only other thing you can try is to go into the magisk manager. And then click on magisk hide and click Netflix. Reboot phone and see if that helps. Dunno if this will work or not. Just something I saw somewhere.
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] fzurita:
I'm not sure if this is Hangouts or the Oreo update, but when calling people over Hangouts using voice, they are all complaining of hearing echo. I don't believe this was happening before Oreo, and I use Hangouts a lot to talk to my wife.

Instal ota dude via adb sideload .. its easy way to update
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] navin2max:
I live in the US, but i bought my unlocked Razer phone from Dubai, U.A.E [Middle-East Region]. I got the update late but still it seems to be earlier than Asian region.

Your Options;

1) Use a VPN, and set to any North American region, and check for update.

2) Easiest way for most people, Unlock bootloader and install OTA via ADB sideload.

The 2nd option seems to be the easiest way of installing Oreo,

but if you dont want to encounter fresh bugs which is present in the new update [ Speaker distortion, Netflix app not working for some people, Google Assistant response being slow, etc..] then its better to wait for the update to come with a fix for this bugs..
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Fyurie:
Think I am going to VPN as I know nothing of bootloading etc... thank you for telling me the options!
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Exelios:
Why on earth are you people still recommending side loading with ADB, VPN and other methods when the factory image is already out and it contains a flash all file?

Why o why...
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] StrizzMatik:
Sideloading the OTA update only seems to work if you're coming from Nougat MR3, I kept getting errors when trying to install OTA from Oreo DP1.
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] FortKnox:
Looking at the Three UK Support Twitter feed today and 'apparently' the Oreo update should hopefully be with us by Monday. But we shall see...
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Bigmille:
The version of Oreo on Razer phone still will not recognise the exfat microsd card I had in my LG V30. Says the card needs to be formatted before use.

Can't help with no 2, as I don't have memory card in my phone.
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Fyurie:
Usually SD cards from other phones are to be formatted when you switch to another phone.

---------- Post added at 04:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:45 PM ----------

I tried your VPN method.... seems like the OTA update is carrier based, so I can't VPN my way outta this, or am I using the wrong VPN servers?
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] parky169:
Going back to the speaker issues with cracking or a few slight buzzing noises I have now tried nougat Oreo developer and official oreo,I can confirm it does it on all the versions.mainly on YouTube but have heard it when I receive notifications too .it must be hardware issue

[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] 2ndcarpenter:
I got it in Korea the day it rolled out, It was waiting for me when I woke up at 4 am
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] 2ndcarpenter:
Are you saying you cant rollback because of the rollback protection added to 8.1? I wasn't sure if i could either after getting the 8.1 OTA. After the update I lost the use of hotspot, support suggested a factory reset. i didn't get hotspot working and the phone got slower and sometimes unresponsive, plus I lost weather widgets, and Neko cat. I followed the directions to the letter HERE and successfully rolled back to MR3. After I get all my backups recovered, I will decide if I want to stay on 7.1 or go back up to 8.1 and just boot to safe mode when i need to use my hotspot.
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] navin2max:
Check you VPN servers, OTA update is Not ''carrier'' based, as I am using an unlocked phone that belongs to no particular carrier... Heard lots of other users got the update using the VPN method being in different continents.

Keep checking for other servers, coz others have gotten the OTA update with this method..
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] HomerSp:
Thanks for the replies everyone - I, however, very much doubt a log would actually help here.

I've been in contact with razer support and sent them a video of the problem, so hopefully they will have some good news. They suggested doing a factory reset, but that has not made it better. I would try downgrading to N again, but since that requires unlocking the bootloader I will wait and see what they say.

[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] chubnut:
From the UK and have an unlocked Razer. On holiday in Lisbon at the moment and managed to download and update on Friday 20th. Immediately noticeable for me is the improved battery life, more responsive with less crashes (I was getting at least one per day) and a Bluetooth connection issue has also been fixed. In addition NFC now at least connects to my 950XL even if it does say unsupported tag when trying to send a file. Didn't get any messages before, it just didn't work
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Bigmille:
The SD card was formatted to exFAT on my PC last year, it has work on last 4 phones before Razer. I did format a spare micro sd card on my PC to exFAT for confirmation, the Razer phone still not able to use it, only recognise the card when it is formatted to FAT32.

I think this is because exFAT is a Microsoft file system, and OEM might require to pay a licence fee to use it on their Android phone. Razer might cheep out by not paying the licence, so we are not able to use exFAT sd card in our Razer phone.

I use an app called Custom Navigation Bar:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=xyz.paphonb.systemuituner&hl=en_GB

You can swap nav buttons once you grant access via adb command. I also use other functions inc make the nav buttons closer together so its easier to use the phone one hand, and turn on immersive mode for some games that have the nav bar visible all the time.
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] iStasis:
I dont have mine unlocked on ThreeUK, I cant say that i have had an issue with the battery life its been pretty good for me. I was hoping it would fix the Netlifx issue where it would lock up and freeze the phone and then reboot the phone randomly. Also using the phone yesterday while watching youtube and using the Razer Hammerhead BT's on pretty much full charge the was some weird drop outs for a split 2nd so this may be the bluetooth issue you mention. Regarding NFC i only have the Razer Mini Lethivan Speaker and the phones always worked using NFC but did have some iss when using contactless payments however the shop i was having an issue at then just replaced their terminal so not really an issue with the phone.
