My problems with the software / colorOS 6.1

[SonnyBF]

I opened tickets on the realme website but I'd like to give an overview here as well:

Problems I encountered (EU version):

1. Settings reset
I often notice the camera taking videos with 30fps only. When I adjust the settings to 60fps, after a while it seems to revert back to 30

Developer settings, e.g. turning off the transition animations also reset (without rebooting the device!) after about a day

At last, the dark mode under 'realme labs' also reverts back after a short while. That's so frustrating!

2. Cloned apps
When using the app Cloner, the cloned app doesn't show up under different launchers, e.g. lawnchair

3. Apps in background / RAM
I have 12GB of RAM, it should be more than enough to hold most of the apps I'm using... However, when switching apps it happens far too often that my apps restart from scratch. Is there no intelligent background app management for people with lots of RAM?

4. Dual WiFi mode
Seems to be available on the CN rom only? No option for me under settings / WiFi

5. Screen recorder
The build in screen recorder doesn't capture software audio

6. Turning the phone, eg. Horizontal mode is often not recognized


Did other people here encounter these problems as well? Did you find a solution?

1. Same with the camera, I noticed that it resets after a while, I set 4K/60 and i come back later on 1080p/30. Hope this bug will be fixed with the next realmeOS.
Haven't tried changing animation speed, but other developer options as debugging and forced resize stay selected for me. Dark mode too, have it enabled since day 1 and it never deactivated, there may be some problems with your rom.

2. Haven't used cloned apps, if that's the case it's a bug they need to fix

3. It depends on the apps, I agree that having more ram available it should keep as much as it can in memory, but it's a common thing in Chinese ROMs that they'll close out heavy apps. I still don't think of this as too much of a problem, if you really need some apps open you can simply "lock" them in multitasking.

4. Yup, no dual WiFi for me on EU device, guess we are cut out.

5. It's one of the feature coming in RealmeOS along with recording with front camera during screen recording.

6. Never had any rotation problem

For sound at screen recorder go settings->system apps (only option from microphone though)
