I got the phone on launch day from Three store. I've already had 3 replacements in store and got a 4th one RMA'd from Razer.

Dont know if its worth waiting for this update. Some people say its fixed most issues some say it hasn't.

Currently i get that auto screen dimming when gaming or on a app for like 5 minutes or so. Very frustrating since the screen is not so bright anyway and it goes down so much, I literally cannot see the screen content when I am outside.

On top of that I have this Bluetooth issue when I connect to a device, either car stereo or any device literally.. It connects and says its connected/paired successfully but when I play something, it plays from the phone speakers.

The only fix to this is I need to go back and delete the paired connection. go to app settings and delete Bluetooth share and Bluetooth midi service app data, restart phone, pair again.

If these two things are not fixed. I've got no more patience left, I'm just going to sell the phone.

Great idea of a phone it is with the loud speakers and 120Hz screen but software has been the worst I've used on a phone by far.

Any info from you guys regarding all this ?

The screen dimming while gaming issue happened to me once, but I was just covering the light sensor with my finger, so I just fliped the phone and never happened again

I haven't had those problems, but clicking the down arrow on the mobile data quick settings crashes, every so often my phone freezes and reboots (though less than Nougat), and there's the multitouch bug which gets fixed in the May security patch (which as far as i know is not out yet).

The Bluetooth problem may be a problem with your cars radio and not the phone. I have a 2012 Scion TC and and tried connecting my Razer Phone, HTC 10 and an iPhone 8 and they all had similar connectivity issues where audio was just being routed through the phone.

The issue itself is nothing to do with covering the light sensor. I've read on here and on Razer Insider forum that it is heat/power related and that lowers the screen brightness because it consumes too much power. A lot of people get this problem and a lot dont know about it too.

Its not my car radio. I've tried on 3 different car radio's and a Bluetooth portable speaker, I get this problem with literally every device i connect to. I still have not had a fix or a solution. Only thing Razer suggests every time is a factory reset which did not change anything.

This thing on max settings according to Ampere is pulling nearly 1.5amps from the battery with brightness at full and all settings maxed
