Razer System Size / Wifi Calling

[raynor1985]

Hi All,

I just got my Razer phone and I'm loving it so far. I have gotten the 3 branded version and have noticed that the System alone is taking up 10.1 GB of storage space and just wondered what the size of the unbranded version was? Also, I rely on Wifi Calling as my signal sucks and wondered if anyone could confirm if wifi calling works on the unbranded version or if I need to stay with the 3 branded version for this feature?

Cheers

Currently if i was you i would stick the the ThreeUK branded version if you are using the network, Razer published an unstable build of Oreo (believe its code name is MR4) but stick to the ThreeUK branded image until the 3/4G data issue has been fixed. At least wait until threeuk have published their Oreo version of the build for their phones/customers before switching over to Razers OEM build (which currently has majour connection issues over data)

Thanks for that info.

On that note, if and when I choose to debrand from three to razer build.. what if any features will I lose?

Bare in mind in on EE network.

Thank in advance

This was a question i raised a while back and from the reseach i did back then the only service that three provide me with is WIFI calling and that London Underground wifi thing, which i barely use as i dont live in london and when visiting its not the end of the word if i go into a black spot for and hour or so while traveling around. Maybe worth just contacting ThreeUK as i had this feature on my previous iPhone which i think is tied into that ThreeUK appm and is still enable on a Sim Card in that iPhone which was a contract phone bought from Apple store but Sim only contract taken out in the ThreeUK store so not linked in away. This was done as it was just cheaper to buy the phone out right as ThreeUK didnt have stock of the bigger storage size and colour at the time i wanted to upgrade so is now pay as you go now with no credit kept my old number setup as a 2nd phone sat on its dock in the office at home and handy for any missed 2 step auth stuff i may have missed when i got the new number.

based on the info found here it seems to be something that the app enabled within the OS, however i know people dont like carrier apps but ive always found the Three app useful enough to have installed on my phone for bills and querries.

When looking at EE they have that 3 months free BT sports sales gimmick/offer but i believe this is just activated by a code they send you and you put into the BT website so not really app related.

Speaking to EE about this to see if this is something within the Carrier build of a google phone or an app thing so maybe check with ThreeUK and EE. as from my experince apple devices use one build so no carrier related stuff in their os and fearures work or dont work however on google phones this is sometimes part of the carrier build. Long winded but your best to either check with someone on EE using the build or contact Three and ask them for the list of features that their build of the OS provide over Razer. Sorry for the long post but hard to say without raising the queston directly to them but the wifi calling is the only thing that stands out.

Its a pain to look into as if you look at the wifi calling supported phones they have google pixel 2 - has a set os with no carrier build then various other iphones and google phones that support it but when looking at non pixel devices your in the crazy world of carrier builds

Hi all.

I am Completely reliant on WiFi calling at home as I have 0 reception. However, three have told me that the razer phone doesn't have WiFi calling. Would you be able to confirm whether native WiFi calling works (not the stupid three in touch app which is awful)?

Thanks

Wifi calling on FreedomPop works.

Thanks. I have ordered the phone on Three, so fingers crossed it works (despite them saying it doesn't). I've had multiple sources confirm it works, so only time will tell!
