Impossibly hot

I bought a Razer phone 2 last month and it stays cool when just browsing the internet or watching videos, but as soon as I play any games like PUBG or Brawl Stars the phone gets too hot to even hold. I don't know if this is something that I should contact Razer over but it's ridiculous. Not only does it get hot to the point where it is physically uncomfortable to hold, but the touch screen becomes glitchy and I'm practically unable to use it. I was completely baffled by how a phone who's main selling point was gaming and advertised a cooling chamber got hotter than any phone I've ever been through playing the exact same game (Galaxy S5, Galaxy S6, Galaxy S7, Galaxy S9).

heat and obvious first question

I don't honestly put this phone down much throughout the day and I do have a silicone case, yet I don't notice much in the way of overheating unless it's charging. Not advisable to use resource heavy games while charging anyway. But even then it's not excessive.

My question is have you stitched the performance profile in Dev options.

Which then leads me to my noob question, if that profile is altereed does it take precendence over the cpu speed options in the booster app or is that what the app changes if Dev isn't enabled?
[Razer Phone 2 Real Life Review] CurtisMJ:
They're different options so neither takes preference over the other. The profile in the Dev options controls how early the device will start thermal throttling while the game booster app controls actual CPU clock speed.

Freezing Temps & Vapor Cooling?

I live in Minnesota and it's winter, so temperatures can sometimes drop to -40°.

Extremely cold temps made my HTC One shut itself off and report way less battery charge until the phone warmed back up to above freezing. And my LG Stylo 5 screen will gradually stop responding to touch if it is below freezing temps for too long. My concern is whether extreme cold has an impact on performance, especially considering the vapor cooling technology, what happens to the Razer Phone 2 if that vapor chamber is frozen?
[Razer Phone 2 Real Life Review] Gaviipras:
Hi sir i've same issue with you but its the opposite, mine is so ****ing hot because even its rainy season but im live in tropical so temperatures can sometimes up to 40°.

of course my phone so easily raise the heat, cpu can up to 60° hot and battery can be 50°

Im even to scary to touch it when device becomes that hot. now i already buy a cooling fan from memo and it quite helps but find another issue because it uncomfortable to hold if put on to the device. i just wonder is case razer arctech really can make the phone more cooler like some few people?

i found the stock camera app to be pretty poor coming from a pixel 2 like it was almost dealbreaking. I also have an essential phone that needed a google cam port to be usable. So i went to the gcam repo and spent a good hour trying all the versions from arnova, cstark etc. and i found that the only one that actually works is from BSG for the Mi 8 and the quality is night and day. i posted on reddit about it. https://www.reddit.com/r/razerphone/comments/9rv2ed/google_cam_port_quality_vs_stock_app_vs_pixel_2/

meh

There is no 60 frames-per-second 1080p video nor is there 16 by 9 aspect ratio for photos they are also blurry, the zoom is okay though I guess.

Razer's photo app does pretty good, minus not having slow motion, beating all my previous phones in clarity, quality and ability to take photos of an always moving 2 year old with very minimal, if any, motion blur, and in low light without flash and no visible grainyness. But to boost your cameras performance, Gcam works wonders (slow motion still does not work) Beware of file sizes of videos, though... An 8 minute 4k video of my daughter was a whopping 2.5gb... and when you take photos at the same time you're recording, they come out much darker than just taking a photo by itself. Photo quality is outstanding, taking bright, clear photos in low light with no motion blur what so ever, and with no visible grainyness or loss of color accuracy. People with high end iPhones and Samsung devices were amazed at the photo quality of the Razer 2 compared to their phones...so a big plus for this phone. I have NO idea what people we're talking about when they said the camera was crap... As far as the photo album app, I think the one that comes with the phone totally sucks, it's the Google albums app, which for me is over complicated, I have no idea how to browse it, or organize it, or create folders, or move them to folders...so, I downloaded a very simple, easy to use gallery app that fits all my needs. VERY simple to understand, I can move things around, create new folders, etc. If you're interested in it, here's the link.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simplemobiletools.gallery.pro

It reminds me of the simpler album apps that came with earlier versions of Android Galaxy phones, which is what I'm used to.

EDIT- 10/16/19

Finally found a camera app that makes full use of the camera. Gcam

Version 6.2.030. greatly increased clarity, amazing low light performance, night mode, multiple resolutions to choose from, hdr, hdr+, 4k video, bokke effect in portrait mode, which makes a HUGE improvement in photo dramatic effect when taking pictures of people, and most importantly, to me at least, VERIFIED WORKING SLOW MOTION AND TIME LAPSE... Which for some STUPID REASON Razer has OMITTED from even their latest software update, posted only a couple days ago. Link below for the gcam mod.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rAgBKJ9ZixrsfP2_29HHJabm-2g9etLY/view?usp=drivesdk

I cannot recommend you use this gcam mod enough! It's EXACTLY what this phone was missing all along

Not my work, BTW. Simply pointing a link at someone else's work.

Hey, a Razer Phone 2-specific version of GCam was uploaded to https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/ the other day. I downloaded it, and it's so much faster than the MI8 version. It's bloody quick. No more loading ring when I'm taking a picture. Just a flash as the picture is taken.

How do you like the Razer 2 w/gcam compared to the Pixel 2?
[Razer Phone 2 Real Life Review] Lives4Christ:
I just installed the RP 2 gcam from the link and only saw a lowlight/indoors performance difference while indoors. Once I went outside there was a bit of a split decision. On one hand the dynamic range of gcam was a lot better and maintained clear details in the image. There were a couple of occassions where the stock camera app took a more appealing picture. Most of the pics while outside in good natural light were almost identical; only zooming in all the way and searching would you see the difference. Again, that goes back to the dynamic range and how the apps process the images once you take the picture. At some point we need to stop splitting hairs on the most minor detail that really isn't discernable unless you zoom in 300% an search vice when you look at the normal zoom image. I have noticed however, the RP2 does over process more often than not, leading to it softening the image way too much causing a slight blur in the details. But other times it takes really good pictures.
[Razer Phone 2 Real Life Review] Lives4Christ:
I just uninstalled the gcam app now. I don't know what happened but was using the camera a few hours after installing and testing it out and I noticed major artifacts, color distortion and image distortion when I am looking at the screen and moving the phone around to different subjects. I also notice it having a real hard time adjusting the exposure and balance. The removal of the gcam app hasn't seemed to fix anything. I may have to reset the phone to get it functioning again.
[Razer Phone 2 Real Life Review] MajorAlvega:
Not bad...
[Razer Phone 2 Real Life Review] Mr_Mooncatt:
I just got the phone, and knew going into it the camera was going to be bad (doubly bad considering I was coming from an LG V20!). What I didn't expect was just how bad HDR is on the stock app. It's rather laughable. The first image is a normal photo on the telephoto lens. The second photo is an HDR shot on the same lens. I plan to play around with Gcam, but HDR will never see the light of day on my stock app. Lol

Video quality is excellent, in my opinion. Coming from a ZTE axon 7 pro, and a very worn out, dying galaxy S4 before that. Hardware in the new Razer is excellent, in comparison to my experience. Stock app does ok, and they now have 4k 60fps. Does very well in low light. but if you want slow motion or time lapse, you HAVE to get the gcam app. Razer STILL has not included those options in their firmware updates. As of 10/16/2019

Link below for a verified working gcam with slow motion and time lapse included.

Tzones thing? You mean wifi?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] liquidsilver:
Some of them will stream through the proxy and some will not. If you're an XM subscriber, you can stream their feeds.

I know that the higher bandwidth shoutcast feeds won't go. I've not checked the lower ones. These all go through the TCPMP application. I am not sure off the top of my head what network ports are in play. I stream the Shoutcast feeds daily over wifi, but that's at home and I haven't needed to try the GPRS route yet.

I don't know if it would be too much to ask, but it surely would be nice if people can post radio stations available (stream address) here that are free and work on GPRS.

Need help

mine feels weird,when you stop typing for 5sec, you can hear a very very small tone that kinda tells the sound booster or something is shutting off,and when resume typing, the typing sound will go from low to high,first 2 taps are low,,and also the back of it,its glass but try pressing it, you can feel the inside or you can hear some crackling noise like plastic,,not like the first razer,,do u guys have this problems also?
[Razer Phone 2 Real Life Review] molten_cpu:
I have not experienced any of these issues as of yet. I'll update if I do now that I'm aware though. Thank you.
[Razer Phone 2 Real Life Review] Notasaurus:
I started having the speaker pop issue start recently. It's any time after something uses the speakers. Like you can hear the amp shutting off. I've had the phone since Monday and mostly keep it on mute so maybe I just haven't noticed it before. But this weekend I've been playing more with the ringtones, notification, etc. It's kind of irritating now.
[Razer Phone 2 Real Life Review] bisdak4life:
How about the back of ur phone when u press it with a little force?does it make any sound like an empty bottle water?
[Razer Phone 2 Real Life Review] dazoe:
I too have the crackling sound when pressing on the lower third of the back of the phone. Not sure what about the sound 5 seconds after typing but I have noticed that some times the sound is quiet from time to time seems random to me. I also have an issue where after the phone has been quiet for a while the tap sound from a navigation button is way over driven and very loud. That to seems to happen randomly.
[Razer Phone 2 Real Life Review] bisdak4life:
So the empty water bottle sound in the back is normal? I contacted them and the ask for a video about it
[Razer Phone 2 Real Life Review] dazoe:
I don't know if two people having the problem is 'normal' it would be nice if more people would chime in. What did support say?
[Razer Phone 2 Real Life Review] bisdak4life:
They ask me to send a video,ima live chat them on my break today,,i just posted my video on their fb page,razer support kinda sux
[Razer Phone 2 Real Life Review] Notasaurus:
After watching the tear down video what I believe your hearing is the glass back making contact with the plastic that covers the wireless charging part and then separating from it when you relieve the pressure. I'm betting the rubbery plastic covering the wireless charging pad is slightly tacky.
[Razer Phone 2 Real Life Review] lamamafia:
I'm experiencing this since you asked, probably wouldn't be if you didn't lol

Also have popping noise since the Razer update randomly and when I use the touchpad, it's annoying, I think the problem is software, and hopefully will get fixed soon, as for the enjoy l empty water bottle sure when squeezing the lower third of the phone, I think it's an adhesive thing like notasaurus says
[Razer Phone 2 Real Life Review] bisdak4life:
So is it normal?or no?i checked the note and iphonX and both of them dont have this problem
[Razer Phone 2 Real Life Review] bisdak4life:
They said phone was damaged,i asked for replacement,its weird they cant give me a return shippung label right away,i have to wait 2-3 business days because pone is out of stock,i mean why cant they send me the return label while waiting for the stock,,well i'll wait till friday, you too ask for replacement or refund
[Razer Phone 2 Real Life Review] Lifelessmxcn:
I doubt its the wireless charging part. Even when pressing down where the logo is, I still hear the crackling sound.
[Razer Phone 2 Real Life Review] translucentfocus:
I also have the same issues

Just wanted to add a vote to the crinkling when squeezing the phone and the speakers popping. No other issues with the phone so far. (For me personally, the crinkling when squeezing the phone isn't an issue.)
[Razer Phone 2 Real Life Review] GuitarGuy96:
I'm not sure if this helps (I don't own the device) but I remember reading somewhere another user faced the same speaker sound popping issue, and what they did was go to Settings > Sound and turned off. . . one of the "Other Sounds" sounds. I can't recall which one but try turning off all - Dial pad tones, screen locking sounds, charging sounds, touch sounds and touch vibration(?) ... see if that helps? One of them was supposed to fix it.

Again, I don't own the device, I just remember reading this somewhere, some other user faced this issue.
[Razer Phone 2 Real Life Review] Dr Ace:
Lockbutton doesn't feel right

I have a weird feeling with the lock button, it's not feeling like a button. Could it be that it's stuck inside? Just unboxed it... Can't really press it - only tap it. I have the Razer Phone V1 which has a defined click, but the V2 feels more like those home buttons from iPhones with the taptic engine instead of a real button but without a tap feeling. Is that normal? Otherwise I will make a refund on Amazon and get a cheaper one from the Razer store...
[Razer Phone 2 Real Life Review] translucentfocus:
From your description, it sounds like you received a defective phone or something.

Haven't used the Razer V1 phone, but have used 2 different Razer Phone 2s and both have physical clicks. In addition to the feel, there's an audible click also (coming from the button itself--not artificial). I will say that because the button sits flush with the phone, it feels "different" than other phones I've had because tbe frame of the phone protects the button. But it should physically depress.
[Razer Phone 2 Real Life Review] *Supersnake*:
Regarding the clicking speaker sounds you have been describing, your feedback is welcome! Please join and contribute to the XDA thread Snap sound coming from speakers.
[Razer Phone 2 Real Life Review] Dr Ace:
Ok, talked to the support yesterday and they say that it's a defect. And that they will send me a new one.

Oh man, Razer definitely has to improve their quality check procedures. I have now my 3rd Razer Phone V1 (one with defect speakers and one with a digitizer malfunction) and now my 2nd Razer Phone V2 after that problem with the lock button.

Never had problems like that with my Nexus 5X or my Moto G... And those were a lot cheaper.
