Please report bugs here. Do it only if you have Current Release, specified at the top. A bug will be added only if a 2nd user will confirm/reproduce the problem!

I wonder when does the next version come?
thanks for your list

Not everyone has the volume up button bug I certainly do not. Also not sure how the reboot to recovery option would work as we have a non standard custom recovery.
Sent from my Defy on EphuNord rom.

I just tried the leaked version of Google music 3 and it works perfectly with 5.1 so may be we can have this as default music player in the next release.
Edit: how about requests, thanks.

I'm hoping the final version or the next version can incorporate built-in codec like the Korean official froyo. If you have used Jboogie's Blur version that is based on Korean official froyo, it can play almost any type of video formats on the fly without using an app like v-player that relies on software codecs.

[2].DO NOT press Volume up when you are recording, because then your camera will freeze and force close and then you have to reboot

Just tried this out, but no freeze for me.

Another ToDo would be optimizing the battery management.
Stock Roms due its integration of motorola battery manager have a much better battery performance.

before the bootmenu we had a custom recovery that was called by an app, couldn't this call be made from the reboot menu?

so the bugs that i found
a.camera sound when boot (I got red lens)
b.720p playback don't work on portrait but landscape it's ok
c.I used VLC stream&convert to play my video from pc via defy. It took 12 seconds before the video appear. Normally,It takes 2-3 seconds on 3.4.2-177 or 3.4.3-11
The bugs on above i haven't found any except the microphone when speaker on.

ok 10x I will try it

When taking pictures with high contrast, for example outside with sun shining, the camera-app freezes sometimes and the preview looks weird. lock and unlock, and camera works again, but the previous taken picture is not beeing saved.
I can't tell if it's only for the green lense, but it is reproducable and in quarx' thread I saw a few guys having the same issues. I will search and quote them when I'm back home again.
edit: From Quarx' CyanogenMod 7 thread:

Could anyone else confirm problems taking photos outside with stock camera app? It does not take any photos at all when the sun is shining brightly, because when i take a photo the preview freezes and no Image ist bring safed. (I got a green lense)

okay, it's true...
i can reproduce your error when capturing something with high contrast (like a lamp, lcd monitor, or outdoor capturing)
@Quarx, i think stock /system/etc/mot_ise_imager_cfg.bin is just fine.. it's more stable.
less compressed image is not neccesary enough,
we need reliable camera for a nice moment to capture...
imagine you suddenly saw ufo / superman / weird moment in the sky,
you take a picture but your camera freeze..
sorry for the dumb imagination

Made a photo outside and i just got the upper lines with rest greyed or green. Doesn't save picture. Now inside house, i don't have this.
It seems to be on 5Mpix only. Change focus or auto-flash don't change anything.
Also afterwards options on the screen don't work and have to switch video and back.

so i've updated cm7 from 5.1 to 6, and now the wifi can't find any networks, not even if i manually set it up. tried to go back to 5.1 but that version wouldn't work anymore either. tried fxr wifi fixer from market, no success. tried wiping cache partition, no luck.

[Help Eachother] STOCK / CM11 Issues&Solutions

The point of the topic:
Post your issues found in STOCK / CM11 or post a solution.Simple as that,very productive.
I'll start with a list of bugs:
CM11 ISSUES:
-Video recording lags in reduced luminosity.
-The phone heats too much when playing/watch videos for long time and so on.
-Volume during call is too low.
-Ocasionally freezes & crashes.
-Some graphical issues when the phone freezes.
-Wifi MAC Address is always 00:0a:f5:89:89:ff.
If there are 2 Xperia L using CM11 / Custom Kernel connected to the same wifi, both connections will be dropped.
STOCK ISSUES:
-Video blinks in low light(from what I've read it focuses wrong on the light source and starts blinking).
-The proximity sensor remains on after a missed call.
-Multi touch doesn't work as well as on CM11.
-Some weird freezes during call ( the screen remains off / freezes and you can't end the call / sometimes even answer )
-Camera doesn't have as much detail as in CM11 ( if you zoom in,the image doesn't clarify).
-Wifi MAC Address is always 00:0a:f5:89:89:ff.
If there are 2 Xperia L using CM11 / Custom Kernel connected to the same wifi, both connections will be dropped.
CM11 FIXES:
-Lag in video recording can be reduced by lowering the exposure.In medium to low light " - 1 " works pretty good and in very low to low light " - 2 " .However,when you use " - 2 " ,the recorded video will be very dark.Still haven't found a solution for this.
-About heating problem,you might want to try @Shivam Kuchhal 's kernel.He reported that his phone doesn't get heat up more than normal.
-About volume during call,it's been solved partially in newer releases by editing snd_soc_msm file.However,if the value is too high,the phne volume will also be too high and the speaker will produce distorsioned sound.However,I see they found a resonable value and both,the volume during call & speaker is about fine.
-For headset buttons not working,you must edit Generic.kl file.Here's a short tutorial to help you:
Go to: system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl and change as below
key 226 HEADSETHOOK
key 256 BUTTON_1
change to
key 226 BUTTON_1
key 256 HEADSETHOOK
STOCK FIXES:
-For proximity sensor and weird freezes during a call use this tutorial .Haven't tested it personally,but people reported it works even on latest .17 fw.
-For Mac issue [ works for cm11 as well ]
1)Restore original MAC Address
Open /data/etc/wlan_macaddr0
Copy it's content. Ex: 01:12:13:14:15:16
Open /etc/firmware/wlan/prima/WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini
Find this line
Code:
Intf0MacAddress=000AF58989FF
Replace 000AF58989FF with the content of wlan_macaddr0, but write back to front. Ex: from 01:12:13:14:15:16, write to 161514131201. So it will look like this
Code:
Intf0MacAddress=161514131201
Save & Exit, Reboot the phone
That's all for now,continue to post bugs&fixes and most important:

Proximity fix not working!!!
More Kitkat Bugs List:-
1. Headset buttons
2. Camera experiencing crashes randomly, sometimes cause overexposure and being unstable at flash mode
3. Black graphical glitch/scanning effect first time after you turn your screen off then on again after first restart/turning on phone.
4. Call bugs(e.g. distortion etc.)
5. Lag when using the video camera
6. battery draining faster then on stock rom. (was improved on early nightly releases....now its back again)
7. GPS not working again (for some it does...others it doesnt....again...wasnt there on first nightlies)(Mostly Happens In CM11)
8. Camera quality is much,much worse then on stock rom
9 . Phone may left hanging and screen wont turn on for several seconds...
10. Some apps are unsupported on playstore...
CM11 bugs
CM11:
1. Switch to HDR mode and within 3 snaps camera app will FC.
2. Headset buttons.. I have to manually edit that Generic.kl after every nightly update.
3. As mentioned above, graphical glitch after updates.
Some of bugs that u mentioned @David pro has been fixed by users, but device maintainer didn't merged it for some reason in official builds. So, get started:
1. These buttons can be fixed, someone(I don't remember who, Sorry) has created a modified Generic.kl. You can find that file somewhere on this forum.
2. Camera quality is medium, but videos are very poor..
3. Still exist
4. @up
5. As I said, videos are bad
6. Caused by Google Play Services, 1st method is use xposed Framework and one of its add-ons, 2nd is just disable Services from Settings>Apps(i'm using second one, because I just don't like Xposed)
7.GPS is working fine, at least for me. No fix needed
8.Yep, on stock it is better.
9.It's caused by "Black graphical glitch/scanning effect first time after you turn your screen off then on again after first restart/turning on phone."
10.Well, some of them are only for one platform or type of devices,eg. Tegra 4 games.
No heating issues noticed so far(I use my kernel obviously) and yeah the camera and video quality isn't anything worth praising. Also the hwcomposer issue happens only one time after every boot, after that its all fine.
I normally use AOSPA.
Actually,I think the cm11 camera takes better photos than stock,but it can be buggy sometimes :silly:
About GPS,it's working fine for me too.
About video camera being laggy...I think it's because our phone lacks drivers update.It's hard to believe the video camera will ever be 100% fixed.
I'm sorry I'm kinda busy those days and I don't have time to administrate this thread.I'll edit the main post as soon as I can with solution you guys posted.But it's true,there are things which can't be fixed.Until I come back, HELP EACHOTHER

Haven't experienced those kind of issues when I used stock.Try to do a factory reset or flash the ftf again.Maybe you added some mods or apps which affected the system.
Overall,we have to admit that CM11 is blazing fast and that's why I'm still using it.I'll update the OP now with your solutions.Thanks guys and keep helping eachother.

another BUG with the stock ROM
1)walkman app flickers in the widget lockscreen
2)poor memory management need to restart the phone daily else the phone lags like a hell
3)camera app didn't respond ,it doesn't even the focus sometimes ,clearing the app data solves this problem temporarily and i think it was not present with the .12 update ,so if anybody could extract the camera app from the .12 update similar to the phone app freeze issue the problem might be solved.
3)walkman app or any other music player makes music to stutter when the same song is played more than one time provided if the songs are stored in memory card also i know that my sdcard doesn't have any problem because it worked fine with galaxy s3.my sd card is sandisk ultra class 10 32 gb
4)battery drain heavy when wifi is switched on compared to previous android 4.1.2
note:i have not rooted my phone or modded my firmware .all i run is the apps taken from the playstore.i have done a factory reset for more than 4 times.
CM11 / Stock (using custom kernel) bug:
Wifi MAC Address is always 00:0a:f5:89:89:ff.
If there are 2 Xperia L using CM11 / Custom Kernel connected to the same wifi, both connections will be dropped.
Solution:
Restore original MAC Address
Open /data/etc/wlan_macaddr0
Copy it's content. Ex: 01:12:13:14:15:16
Open /etc/firmware/wlan/prima/WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini
Find this line
Code:
Intf0MacAddress=000AF58989FF
Replace 000AF58989FF with the content of wlan_macaddr0, but write back to front. Ex: from 01:12:13:14:15:16, write to 161514131201. So it will look like this

5.I really like the photos cm11 takes.About video...another story.Try to notice the details in the photos in comparison with stock.
I am going back to stock in order to see if I can obtain(with all the bug fixes from here) a more stable software than cm11.I'll report to you soon guys.Until then, help eachother

guys please try to solve the issues with stock ROM because they are the stable ones and the bugs are easily repairable if the bugs are reached to right hands.so pls first concentrate on stock ROM
I've been playing around with 4.4 video recording..what i think is the lags occurs when we record in low lights related with the kernel..i'm testing with snapcam as its has auto flash when recording in low lights..First result is same as stock..but in snapcam it has touch to focus when recording..after touch,the recording will get a bit darker when it refocus and walla..no lags..
What i found is, the camera will automatically reduced the exposure to -1 for avoiding the lags even it is on default setting..
When moving the camera in low lights,the recording will lags again after few second..that is with continuous focus..set to normal or auto..no lags..so our stock cam using continuous focus for recording..
Back to the kernel thing..from what i see from the recording is same like this when i'm playing with cnt rom to to get wifi and overclock working.
Ok,so I went back to stock.I'm amazed by the battery life,it lasted 2 days and I used the phone a lot ( especially for calls ).
However,after using the fix for freezes during call and so on,I still have experienced this morning an issue.While I was talking to someone,someone else called and the phone was beeping but the screen was frozen.I had to press the power button to lock the device then unlock it to get the screen to show who's calling and to give me the possibility to answer the call.What do you think I should do?For now I'll wipe phone app data,but I'm also waiting if someone knows a good,another solution to post.
Anyone know a way to remove the automatic shutdown?
My phone shuts down if it reaches 25%

Camera crashes with RAW and Slow Shutter

The stock camera crashes when I:
-enable RAW
-select slow shutter
-select a shutter speed of 2, 4 or 8s in camera settings
The annoying part is that I have to reboot every time to fix the camera as it seems to be unable to connect again after crashing. Is there any way to fix this without rebooting? There is a play store app but it doesn't work.
Edit:
If you want, vote for the issue.

Question:
Stock?
Bootloader unlocked?
Rooted?
Custom Rom?
Custom Kernel?
Any tweaks to the device other than stock?
I'm just curious...if stock users are having trouble, or is it just the tweakers?
Have you tried a factory reset? And as above, any mods or running 100% stock?
Rooted with stock rom and stock kernel. Clearing the camera cache doesn't help.
I'll try a factory reset as some users don't seem to have the bug.
I've noticed that too. I've also noticed two more things:
- 4k UHD + RAW = bad time. As soon as I hit record it gives me a black screen, I stop the recording and it freezes. I have to force close the camera app to be able to do anything with it again. Oddly enough, 4k DCI works fine.
- Slow-mo video + RAW = choppy. The video seems to be playing back at a super low frame rate. Everything seems to have a lot more motion blur too.
Using raw any time there is low light results in camera crash as well
Sent from my A0001 using XDA Free mobile app
rooted, with stock everything. after taking 8 sec slow shutter, when saving it lags, then black screen then crash. then when i reopen all the menu still there but black screen. anything i do from there it will just crash.
I have the same problem as the poster above.
Any clue?
The other problems described here were correct with the latest update.
Anyone with anything on this?
Same issue here. Will it be fixed ever?
Yep, this has been a known bug from day 1 bro.
Just to put my 10 cents, same problem here even in Auto mode.
This is the only issue I have with my phone now. Hoping CM12 fixes it.
Hello, in CM12, as says Spectre, camera works well, but is there way, to fix this problem in latest official CM13.1, or Lineage14? Thanks much
edit: well, sorry, in CM12.1 problem still here, seems aka HW problem... overheating?
No working solutions? ((

slow camera opening

Hey, does anyone else find that the camera on the P9 takes a good 5 or so seconds from clicking the app to it actually displaying the image(this happens randomly but not always)? I find it stays black for a few seconds before it finally displays what the camera sees. Every other app is quick to open though ?

I get this. I wondered if it started when I set the default storage location to SD card.
But, as you say, sometimes it is very quick.

Don't use Snapchat I'm afraid.
I have tested swapping the "priority to SD" flag but it is still inconsistent.
it seems that the problem fixed after disabled (priority to SD) and then take any picture. (so when open camera will load latest photo from internal storage not SD) .
I have this issue too. If the camera is still in the recent app cache it will open instantly. If I close it out and leave it about 5 minutes it can take at least 5 seconds before I can see the on screen image and take a photo...
I don't have the priority SD card switched on. I'm on the UK Vodafone SKU
Any ideas?
the problem is still exist after disabled the priority to sd . (it was ok for one day after disabled priority to sd but the problem back again yesterday) so it's not related to sd card . and it's really annoying when you want to take a picture you will miss it because of slow opening that happens randomly .
I tried the camera in safe mode and it seemed to work fine. Could be a third party app that is trying to launch at the same time.
I'll try investigate further.

ok . please keep us updated
So. Definitely looks to be a software issue. Either at the system level or third party apps. Most likely the latter.
I downloaded Open Camera and had the same inconsistent opening times. After I removed it from recents and opened a few other apps, Open Camera took around 3-5 seconds to be ready to take a shot.
Not sure which app is influencing it so much. So time to start disabling things and testing further. Joy.....

How fast does camera open from locked phone if you use the power button and volume down button with to take a photo as soon as it opens?
It tells you speed on screen, maybe we can compare this too? I am getting 1.1 to 1.5 seconds.

you mean double tap the volume down while phone is locked ?
Sorry yes double tap, I always forget how to it and takes me longer than the actual camera to open and shoot.
I just came from Windows phones and am used to having dedicated camera button so am still adjusting.
The ultra snapshot took 1.7 seconds. But immediately after that the camera app was frozen for about 5 seconds before the screen showed live what the lens was seeing and let me take another shot. Really frustrating.
for me it took 1.0 , 1.7 and 2.4. I think the problem with huawei firmware. can you share your software version ?
EVAL09
C02B133
I tired removing well known resource heavy apps. Facebook, Twitter etc but no change. I removed AL3 as my launcher and went back to stock. Seemed to improve slightly but still get the 5-7 second freeze every now and again.
so it's not related to my model eval19 . so Huawei must know about this problem to solve it in new update . but I don't know how ?

Android Oreo Developer Preview Image Released!

This preview of the Oreo build is updated with the March 2018 security patches. It is Android Oreo, version 8.1. If you want to use this, keep in mind that this is a development preview! It is not the final release. There are also a few things to note about using it.
It requires you to be bootloader unlocked (unlocking wipes your phone)
This update will wipe your phone even if you're already unlocked
You will not get any OTAs while on this build
VoLTE and WiFi Calling might not work
No CTS, so Android Pay/Pokemon Go may not work
May be some undocumented bugs
If you're fine with all of that, then the download link can be found on Razer's developer page about the update.
If you want to go back to the stock Nougat images, just follow the instructions here.

Look up a video of Oreo on a Pixel. It looks exactly the same.
No default white theme like normal Oreo same default theme as nougat.
Screen now has a colour option which can be set to show more vibrant colours.
Double tap to sleep (only on lockscreen)
Speakers seem louder than before.
And all the normal Oreo stuff
Also Pokémon go does work.

Color options and more power for the speakers are both great news. Much excited.
I'm tinkering with GSIs and I've realised you can go into Download Mode by tapping the Power button several times as soon as the Razer logo pops up (before the orange 'tampered' message appears).
In case that helps someone ^

It did the same thing to me when I flashed stock nougat to fix boot loop. Remove and reinstall the Sim card. That worked for me.
Anyone having Bluetooth mic issues on this preview?
Just got a new BT headset with a built in mic and it ain't working. Just thought I'd check in here before returning it.
I went back to Nougat but did anyone else notice the screen colours go between vibrant and normal all the time? noticed it on the lockscreen, Keyboard and quick toggles but it only seemed to happen with colourful stuff. Default Razer wallpaper, Coloured keyboard and theme applied etc
Yes @Roxas598 I did notice the colors change from vibrant to normal a lot. And I've been watching Netflix on it lately as well and have been watching the second season of a series of unfortunate events and the whole show has been looking darker than it should, making it hard to watch even with brightness all the way up.

I already reported the issue but wanted to make sure it wasn't just me. Thanks!
My Fitbit is not being recognised at all, and my bluetooth mic on my new headphones doesn't work. So it looks like there are some issues with Bluetooth which I'll revert to stock to resolve. Not bad so far, but obviously being close to stock means it doesn't feel much different to 7.1, certainly not enough that you get that excited buzz we once got back when Android revisions were massively different.
Literally got everything working

How did you do this? I'd like to know since I'd like to use Netflix and Google Pay.

Official Android Pie - discussion and experience

I thought it has the dark mode, but it hasn't. You can find it in the settings but if you activate it nothing happen..
I noticed that the performance is slightly better than Oreo. The phone runs faster and there are much fewer lags!
First I thought the battery drain got heavier, but after the second day it reached the normal drain, which we know from Oreo
Also I love the new stock launcher. It's like the Pixel-Launcher with the "at a glance" feature, just as the new navigation-gestures which we also know from the Pixel-devices.

It has a dark mode but it's very limited. When you activate it the quick settings in the notification area and some colour accents on the home screen and app list will become dark. It will not, however, change any other colours in the OS.
I'm experiencing some serious lag at moments.
On oreo I barely experienced lag at all.
Any advice?
I'm having lag/stutter in recent tasks... It was way faster in Oreo and I preferred the vertical layout.

If you have root, you can disable the StockLauncher and download another launcher from the PlayStore. Then you will have the vertical layout.
Updated mine in Austria by following the VPN method.
On first boot I face WiFi connection issues and also Bluetooth is not working fine. - resolved by the first reboot
I face a poor call audio distortion.
Videos, Music, etc. that uses the other loudspeaker is working fine but in phone calls using the other speaker I face massive saturation effects even with small volume.
I also tried to manufacturing reset my phone, without success.
best regards,
Mario
Correct. I updated mine yesterday and can confirm, poor call audio distortion. That thing drives me nuts.
The arrows on the network and wifi icons on notification is also a thing to remove, or at least give us the chance to remove it.
Besides that, i didn't see to much cases.

This is a widely seen bug for Pie which I personally find not acceptable in 'stable' release. Couldn't do a calls due to sound quality and reverted back to Oreo.
I wasn't able to upgrade to 9.0. I tried VPN method and it didn't work. Can anyone help me?

Mhmm, it only work for me when I used the CyberGhost-VPN-App (free trial). ExpressVPN or something else didn't work for me
Okay. So doing factory reset fixed the lag in recent apps.
But I did an antutu benchmark and the performance has dropped significantly from 78232 to 67477.
Anyone else can confirm this?
