Hey everyone

Very glad to announce that the Android Pie 9.0 Update is now rolling out to Razer Phone 1 devices right now!

I personally want to thank you all for being so patient, I know this was a long time coming but thank you for holding on and sticking with the team.

Now go get your pie update!


PSA: Game Booster is broken.

I'll get this passed on asap but for now just reset game booster

(System settings>game booster> tap the reset icon on the top right hand corner) and don't change any settings for now.

EDIT 2: The update has been temporarily pulled due to the Game Booster issue.

I'll let you all know when the rollout starts again.

EDIT 3: Update is live again folks! However there's an issue with the do not disturb function :( if you have it on its making the camera force close.

It's been reported and hopefully we'll see a fix soon.

I just got the update. not happy at all. Don't like the new UI but even worse games don't work. Black screen and also the camera app crashes every time i try to open it. Doing a factory reset hasn't helped either.

Mine updated first thing this morning. Dont mind the new UI and not had issues with the camera (Google Apk or the Razer camera) but like you no games.
I did as some mentioned above and reset Game Booster and didnt touch the settings on it also put Cortex on as well. All my games work now but theyre all set to what ever Booster defaults are.
The only other thing ive noticed is i now get 4G+ which i didnt before.

Everything was working apart from games when i first did the update. Thought something might have messed up so i did a master reset on my phone. Everything still works even games with the booster reset tweak. Put the google camera apk on as well as better options than the stock Razer camere app and thats fine too.
(Update - just resetting Booster worked for a while then the games stopped displaying again so ive disabled Booster now and everything is working as it should be)

Update available
Most things seem to work, do not have a simcard in it to test with.


Only problem so far:


Razer Camera app & Gcam FC.

Open Camera works with back lens, FC when switching to front lens.

Clearing app data does not help.

Reinstalling Gcam does not help.

Razer Camera cannot be uninstalled.

??

Edit:

Left it alone for awhile, and all the camera apps started working.

I hope some enlightened dev can pull the useful bits from this update (if it is working) and use that to fix the quirks on phh's Pie treble build. I never got the camera working with it (I can live with the BT bug)

this build of camera work fine for me MGC_6.1.021_RP1_V1.3.2-BSG. it is in the forum (don't know the exact address). The only con I have with the pie is that the battery drains fast (6% in 8 hours standby) or it might be my phone which needs a battery change.
