Nougat reviews? - Moto Z Play Questions & Answers

So now that people are getting 7.0, can we get some feedback? I'm itching to upgrade, but 6.0.1 works so well that I'm scared. Battery life? Performance? Pros, cons?
Edit: Also please detail your upgrade path, eg. Did you hard reset / wipe data? Did you sideload the OTA or are you running a ROM?

Battery's same as MM
Performance same as MM
All working.
Pros: Multitasking (Window's way)
Better notification bar and settings
Root it's now available
Can change the DPI without failures.
Settings redesigned.
Cons: Isn't Xposed available...Yet.

Did you do a hard reset as well, or just an upgrade with existing data? If upgrade, you haven't had the stuttering issues I've seen reported?

I upgrade with TWRP thanks to @flashallthetime
Follow his instructions and all be good.
No bugs for me. No issues.
I did a dirty flash, so no hard reset

Ok, sounds like you flashed a ROM then. Thanks

I received OTA update. No stuttering issue.. Performance is top notch. Battery life is awesome just like MM. Coming from 5X i have been missing double tapping recents to switch between apps on MM, but since the update I'm super happy

I have some stuttering / lagging when I swipe through the homescreens and open the notification drawer.
Performed OTA upgrade in the reteu channel. Seems not a too big issue, but still noticable.

When did you get your OTA and what is your location?

Germany. Got it on 13th February.

Ten days on and it still hasn't rolled out. I wonder if they've found a problem of some kind.

Probably the performance issues hold up the global rollout.

I sideloaded the reteu OTA a week ago. So far there is no change from MM on battery life and performances, the phone is still smooth and super reactive. What I consider as an improvement over MM are the notifications, the split screen and switch between the last two apps, the notification volume fix (gave me a heart attack the first time I got an SMS) and the DPI changer.
I didn't clear the cache not factory reseted the phone, I just sideloaded the OTA like I would've done with a regular OTA.

Is Now on Tap available on Nougat? I highly depend on that.

A link to my short review of sideloaded RETEU in another thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71222470&postcount=1365
Bottom line: I have no issues, everything runs very well. Nougat is the best Android so far for me.

Yes, it is. It's a Google Play Services related setting.

Ok,so i tried nougat (the prerooted one from here) and went back to MM cause i dont like the display colours on nougat.they look washed to me.i like it better in marshmallow.maybe just me,maybe just the rom.and i had problems with whatsapp notifications.

Any retus owners get the nougat update yet? I'm using a custom ROM right now so I don't know.

Nope. I'm giving it another couple weeks

I received the ota update and did a factory reset. The only problem I'm facing so far is that I miss a lot of notifications of Gmail and Whatsapp mainly. I have to wake up the phone or even open the app to get the new mails and messages. Could this have some to do with the battery optimization options? In MM the same settings where set with no issues.

I've had this same issue with Gmail notifications on marshmallow for years now. I don't think it's a nougat thing

Just got the OTA 8.2.1.0 MAGMIDL update - should I install?

Not sure if this is a stable build. Should I go ahead and install?
Also got it offered here, Global 8.2.1.0.MAGMIDL on OTA. 706MB. It appeared just after opening the updater app.
I've installed and haven't noticed any major improvements. Fingerprint scanner seems to be working faster but may just be my imagination.
There is an UI imrovements where the text is now black for your 3rd party music player in notification cards. Also, I may be going crazy but my battery lasts longer...

Please check it installing Wakelock Detector [LITE] from Google Play Store and start it.
Then when it's time to charge the battery start it again, press the first of the three buttons on the top right corner and select "CPU Wakelock".
Tap on "Android System" and post a screenshot.
I've got it installed since Thursday. So far I would say the battery time is the same or slightly better. I do use the fingerprint scanner and I think it's slightly faster than before. Everything else, Bluetooth, Wifi and GPS so far working nice.
Only downside, the Security app had the cleaner function reactivated after the update. I'm pretty sure I had it disabled before. All other functions of the Security app seem to have kept their settings.

You are talking about 8.0.3.0?
That's because there was no problem with qfp-service on the previous version.
I think that's caused by a (bad) attempt to fix the fp reader after many complaints on the official forum.

I assume you 'download' OTA?
Or is any location known from where a complete 'fastboot' set or 'recovery' update zip can be found?
Has someone a fullzip of the update?
I think Wileyfox can provide you such thing if you ask it on their official Facebook page.
For those of you who have downloaded the update, is it worth it? or would you like to roll back to cyanogen OS marshmallow? why? asking for a friend (AKA me ?)
Hey, I've accepted the OTA update. It runs - but it seems that battery is getting run down very quickly - battery monitor says the hungry application is "bluetooth" - even though I don't think bluetooth is on.

Did OTA update yesterday with another Swift. It got stuck in a bootloop. I contacted support. They were immediately helping. I tried installing the update again from SD, ADB... Now I'm waiting for their developers finding a solution. Btw: The Swift is stock all over.
Is there any "good" reason to install the OTA-Update instead of installing the LineageOS-14.1-nightly build?
Still haven't got it. I've requested it of Wileyfox on their Facebook page.

My friend's phone is still not unlocked and he wants to be sure data stays intact.
check https://we.tl/89tVbuSSyF (URL received from wileyfox)
The OTA update produced a bootloop. I had to do a complete wipe and now Nougat is running. The Wileyfox support was really fast and helpful!
First impressions:
I don't like the truecaller app instead of the good old telephone app. But you don't have to register and can use it to phone.
I haven't been able to remove the Google search bar.
My first impression is that cyanogen is more open and customizable.
I liked the Cyanogen OS because it felt like rooted...

If update is not CyanogenOS then what is it? LineageOS? AOSP? WileyfoxOS? ...
My Swift upgraded fine with the OTA from Wileyfox. However, since the update the battery life is terrible, much worse than before. As mentioned earlier Bluetooth is identified by Android as draining the battery. I mentioned this to Wileyfox tech support who advised to do a full factory reset but this made no difference.
Hi everyone!
I did the update on 7.1.1 OTA.
What bothers me most, is that there seems no way to disable the camera shutter sound.
The general volume settings does not help and in the camera app there is no such button (anymore?).
Anyone else having trouble with this?

I never had a camera shutter sound before the update, with Cyanogenmod on my Swift 1.
The shutter sound even affects other apps, that use the camera, such as PDF scanners.

So I recently got my hands on a korean V30 and it needed three updates before it was on Oreo. Now that it is, I am facing random reboots, plenty of freezes and even the scrolling of webpages stutters. Done the whole reset thing twice now. Additionally, even with all the apps closed, the system shows about 70% RAM as used (this is the 4GB RAM variant). anyone else having this?

Yes, I checked and I am on Oreo. I disabled some preinstalled apps and services following the guide in another thread (Guide: Make your V30 faster and smoother). Things are a LOT better now. random reboots have also stopped.
Smart Doctor says 63% RAM used (2.5GB) at any given point in time.

Impossible without factory resetting. This update is a mess, bugs everywhere.
Three Finger Screenshot doesn't work, media player once stated by any app stays in the notification even after the app quits, extreme battery drain... what a mess.. I am moving to Arrow, enough of this.
This is shame ,they release update before checking it i will send the device back if they accept if not i definitely will unlock the bootloader and install custom rom. I don't recommend anyone to install this buggy update!
give the non-stock xiaomi.eu 12.5.3.0 a chance, i dont regret unlocking and flashing and i am really satisfied for now.

Question Slower after Android 13/One UI 5 update. Anyone else?

It seems like the phone is ever-so-slightly-slower following the Android 13/One UI 5 update.
Splash screens of various apps consistently appear for a few split seconds longer than before. In fact, at least one app that used to launched instantly now shows a splash screen for a fraction of a second before launching.
Is this just my experience, or do others see the same thing as well?

Thank you.
But I'm trying to figure out if the small slowdown after Android 13 update is an anomaly or if most people experience it. Do you?
My phone came with Android 13/OneUI 5 preinstalled, but I later received an update with January security patch and I started facing issues after that update.
The scrolling works very bad, its like there are some ghost touches. When I scroll thru WhtasApp/Telegram chats, photos in gallary, webpages the scroll sometimes doesn't work, just like the screen didn't even register my touch. If I try to scroll fast, the scroll stops in between, just like a ghost touch or something.
I was also facing issue with fingerprint scanner when the phone screen is off for some time, but I got it resolved by removing existing finterprints. and registering new ones.
The scroll issue is a real bummer for me. I hope it get fixed with the next OneUI 5.1 update.
In Addition to what I listed above, I faced one more strange issue today. I received the January security patch AGAIN today. It's like before, the download size, update description, all is same.
The previous January security patch update I got was installed successfully, I could see it in the software section, I am not sure why I received same update again.

Can someone here please confirm if you are able to scroll faster? I mean, I have my old OnePlus 6 with me. If I do a simple test to scroll once in a telegram chat, OnePlus scroll backs to more number of chat messages compared to S21FE. The S21FE just scrolls to few lines.
Anyone observed same issue?

Yes. the scrolling on the S21 FE is much more stiff and "heavy" than my old J series Samsung phone. In addition, many screen taps aren't noticed by the phone, requiring me to tap again.
You should report it in the Samsung member app like I did. The more people who report these problems the bigger a chance that a patch will be issued.
