You can download it manually using xperifirm and flash it using flashtool.

You can do it all with flashtool 0.9.33.0, download and install because flashtool has xperifirm inside.

Hello everyone here are the rest of the settings screenshots.

With the current build of android 11 it seems like the fingerprint is missing as an option under security setting.

I assume no photography pro app still? And does gestures work with 3rs party launchers?

I don't think that Sony respects last year's models enough to give them Photo Pro

I just got the update today and now my phone is extremely slow to unlock/light up the screen after i press the unlock button, does anyone experience this too ?

Today I had the update as well. At first glance, no big changes. The only thing I noticed is that the options and icons on the top bar have changed. And the powermenu. I keep investigating.

I certainly don't face such an issue! The animations though, are a bit slower than they were on Android 10.

I am experiencing persistent bugs in Android 11 Update when you charge your phone completely turned off the power button have a delay response to power it on again and when you watch a movie on the sony album app the navigation buttons fades away then if you use the mx player as an alternative video app it closes from time to time it never happens in Android 10.

I had this problem but I solved it by doing a repair from the Xperia companion.

It happened to me on the official youtube app. The controls disappear and the screen is no longer responding.
I think they have more bugs than I expected. We will have to wait for more updates.

I don't have bugs but, the Overall experience feels kind of slower. Not slow, but slower than it used to be. The boot up also is about 5-7 seconds slower. It feels like they put some weight on the phone.
Edit : I will wait for a next update, to see if it fixes the phone's speed. Even though I don't think it will. If not, I'll do a clean install, and if even after it things don't change, previous Android 10 will be my daily driver.

Lockscreen Music Control - Spotify Music

Hi,
There are no music controls in the Lockscreen when i play music in Spotify .
I hope this get fixed very quickly ! Have anybody else the same problem ?
I had this problem before with my MATE 7 .. but since the last Update on Android 6 it worked perfectly.
Why again Huawei?

This is a bug with Android 7.0, I believe even the pixel had this. It was fixed with the release of Android 7.1 so hopefully Huawei will release an update soon.

It's not an issue with my Nexus 6P in 7.1 neither in 7.0 but it's present on my Mate 9 even with the latest update.
Maybe go to Spotify application in the settings and enable show on lock screen.

I doubt it's that. I also don't have lockscreen controls for Google Play music, and that doesn't appear to have any setting to enable lockscreen controls. It was just there automatically on my Note 3 on Lollipop, but not on my Mate 9.
I have noticed, that Mate 9 doesn't show any notifications on lockscreen, that are alredy during locking. This essentially means, that when song changes in spotify while phone is in sleep mode, and then you wake it up, spotify buttons will be there.
Seems like a bug to me.
It's not a bug. Huawei knows this and the latest update (B138) change log clearly mentions that the issue with third party muzic players on lock screen is fixed.

1. If it's not a bug, then it's intentional. Why would they need to "fix" something that isn't a bug?
2. I'm on B138, and it's not fixed.
Got this problem too on my Mate 8, although Google Play Music controls work on my lockscreen.

Found A Fix!?
I know that on the honor 8 they were broken. Firmware b380 fixes it for the honor 8. I am currently on b183 with my mate 9 and it doesn't work. I have the us unlocked.
Also never had this issue with my HTC 10 when it updated to nougat.
have you tried this?

At least for Google Play Music, it's mostly fixed in the latest US firmware (183). The first time you power up the phone to the lock screen after starting music, they aren't there. But if you power it back off, then back on, they are there, and work fine after that.

For me the music controls show up on the lockscreen after it plays the 2nd track onwards.
So you fast forward the first song to the last 10 seconds and lock the screen. When it goes to the next track, the spotify control will pop up on the lockscreen.
Guys the problem is fixed with the newest update B172. I am using C636

Yet strangely, for the newest US update (B183), it's not fixed. Though it is fairly benign since you can just power it off and back on again, and the lock screen controls are there after that.
omg, this is so frustrating, how hard is it to have your Spotify music player displayed on your lock screen...such a basic fundamental need for those commuting, so mighty pissed, slight regret is setting in, I'm missing my Samsung note, I dislike apple because they come across as controlling, now android is morphing into some sort of a control freak also, cannot disable lock screen, now cannot see Spotify, the brightness doesn't auto adjust for the smart sleep cover, had to download an app for that...wtffff....Helppppp
have controls on my lock screen when using spotify so i would say its not very hard to have it.

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 ^

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.

Official Android Pie - discussion and experience

We should use this thread to discuss about the official Android 9 update for the Mi A2 Lite!

I am on Havoc OS 2.0, but it hasnt update... Maybe I will return to stock...

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.

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?

[Help] System freeze and frame shattering in oneplus 8

I am facing random freeze issue with many apps without any processor intensive task since update to OOS11
After freeze "system UI not responding" message pops up.
while playing CODM, the freeze comes with an abnormal sound as u can see in below links, totally unexpected with this high end hardware. My mom's redmi 8 can handle this game better than Oneplus 8.

Sometime after fingerprint unlock, all goes blank and take ages to get the device working again.

- turning ram boost on/off
- 60Hz mode / 90 Hz mode
- fanatic mode for game
Any suggestions?
I'm the same, there seems to be a problem.

Totally stock unrooted with no mods. EU phone on latest update. Phone hangs, lags and scroll stops at times. I've also lost widevine L1 and is on L3. Lots of complaints about this on the OP community. This has to be the worst phone I've owned in a long rim.

Alright guys I think I know what it is, I'm on global and didn't received the update, so I'm not on the latest version and it's perfectly working (even with some buggy games like hello neighbour). Both of you received the update lately so it make sense, this is my theory, and you'll have to wait for OP to release another update...
good luck guys...
The only time I have seen problems like this is when I used Chrome. After starting to use any other browser, and setting the new browser as default app for the web under settings/apps I have had no problems what so ever with stuttering or freezing. When Chrome was set as default browser freezes would happen in any other app without any visual sign that it was Chrome that caused the problem. All apps seem to use the default browser at times to get to the web and by this causing freezing if using Chrome.

General OxygenOS 13 Discussion

Hi all,
I just got the OOS 13 update this evening, and I have an EU version of the Nord 2T. Hopefully all regions should get the update now!
Might as well do a discussion thread to see how people get on with it. Hopefully it's all good, it's been fine for me so far!
First bug on C.24 EU version that I see:
Sometimes the HOME button doesn't work, need to go in multi-task view then home button is back working.
Double tap on multi-task button sometimes doesn't switch to previus app.
After 3 days of use I would say that the battery life has not changed.
As on OxygenOS 12, NO call recording option here in Italy, but with THIS solution is partially working.
Where are you live? In Poland I don't have any update
Edit:
I have used the Oxygen Updated and I have a13
At the moment everything looks fine...

Yes bug confirmed
I just installed this update (euro) and think it just made the phone so even worse than (wasnt fan of previous either). The settings are just less accesible, there is an imbalance in font / icon size options, bothering me with even more added 'smart'features. Does anyone know how to downgrade / rollback?

Maybe you should try do wipe?
For me everything works well, so I guess tahat it can resolve a lot of issues after update
I always do it after big update like this.
I appreciate the suggestion but I really want to do a rollback, because I really dont like the UI changes.
With second update C.26 bug always present:
Sometimes the HOME button doesn't work, need to go in multi-task view then home button is back working.
Double tap on multi-task button sometimes doesn't switch to previus app.
