I had checked received early updates option under update settings, just for the info:

I got my device 2 months ago and it is very snappy. I have no interest in having it become irreversibly laggy because of a major update.
I would love to hear if anybody had applied the update yet and if it slows the phone down.
If it does I will not update-- I'd rather have a snappy phone than one with the latest bells and whistles but sluggish!

Then you might have to wait for the comments of few more people & yes i have noticed little bit lag, & also my chrome is lagging for some reason & i am not sure it's because of my 4g internet or my browser, just received update two hours ago

Hehe

Just got the OTA, will install it asap.
I'm in Europe

I have just received the update (12.0.2) today. I'm from Chile, i have the global version, and it's been pretty good my phone. Pretty fast, new features quite good.
'll keep u in touch

Thanks, I will wait!
I've had this happen to me with previous phones. It's hard to resist the impulse to update, but sometimes it's really a big mistake.

Im from Europe, but i install global version over twrp, for me, everything works just fine, without lag for now, and one big plus, camera is way way beter now.

I'm also of course curious if some of the issues with the previous version (BT/Wifi interference, etc) are resolved

Are you saying you installed the downloaded zip file over TWRP? Or did you take the OTA file? I'm wondering because I have TWRP and Magisk installed. I've been notified for the OTA update, but I've also already downloaded the stock ROM.

Don't update. It looks nice, have some cool features, camera is better, but it feels like it is not the same phone anymore. It lags, some animations are perfect, but many are not. Icons animation is ugly for me, text size is also not OK for me, some is bold and some is not...
The best firmware was Android 9, all after that is worse and worse.
Btw I did factory reset after I updated, like I always do after major update...

Thanks!!
So glad I checked with you guys!
I noticed the slight slowdown also between A9 and a10 within MIUI 11 itself.
Still fast, but an ever so slight lag that wasn't there before.
I assume there is no way to revert to MIUI 11 without unlocking the device....
I'll pass!

This whole episode makes a good argument for unlocking and rooting. Even though I have avoided doing that since I had my Nexus phone, it would seem that this is the only way to prevent your phone from becoming obsolete.
The RN8P is not an old phone and its such a shame that Xiaomi would release an update that would degrade the performance so much...and not give regular users the option of reverting....but then again, I have seen this happen on my previous phones too.
My previous phone was an LG G6, a flagship from a few years ago. When new it came installed with A6, and by the last update was A9, which literally made the device unusable.
Manufacturers are in a dilemma, because on one hand power users demand updates for the latest versions, yet inevitably these newer updated versions use more resources and aren't optimized as well for a legacy device.
At the very least the manufacturers should provide an easy method of downgrading.

I really do not know why Xiaomi doesn't offer official method to rollback as Huawei does via PC Suite.
I am about to unlock my bootloader, but I am not sure what to do next, as all of these tutorials are so confusing.
I think I have to root then, and no idea what comes next...
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Yes it is confusing, Xiaomi does not make it easy to root, I suggest you submit your questions for guidance on unlocking in one of the dedicated threads

STILL STUCK AT JANUARY SECURITY PATCH AND V20D AFTER 5 MONTHS ???? disappointed.....

When do we get some updates with some fixes and security patches ??? I am tired of waiting and i am seriously disappointed .... LG is worst right now with their updates ... It seems updates roll out only in Turkey and we need explanation why ?
The battery life is WORSE and im thinking to buy Nexus device... LG.. you are loosing customers ...
If You are on H815 ,flash the brazilian kdz. Security Patch is 01.05.2016
I had terrible experiences with Android devices over the last months. Got an S6 edge+ only to find out that Samsung didn't want to send the updates to my country and decided to give the monthly updates only in 3-4 countries. TouchWiz was better than the older version but still heavy bloated and laggy in comparison to other devices. Then got 2 Nexus 6P only to find out how poorly they made them. Bad screens with heavy partially tints and low brightness overall. Rattling buttons, rattling cameras, poor audio quality in calls, poor audio quality through headphones with low volume output, and scratched oleophobic coating. Returned both and never went to Nexus again. Now Im on LG G4. It's one of the fastest phones I ever had. Feels even faster than the 6P in daily usage with many apps installed. But alas. The battery drains like hell and I saw no updates yet. Sometimes Doze is not working though I had this on the 6P too sometimes. Dunno what's causing it. There is no point on going to Nexus 6P atm. In few months the new Nexuses will come out maybe they will be better.
Same here, LG G4 stuck in January update, but my battery it's ok. 2 days on usual use ~4h of display on with 4G mobile data on from time to time. I just don't get it why all the non EU regions got all this security updates and updates, but for EU nothing, just silence! The Brazilian kdz, it's not a go, from what I read for some users of H815 the update crush the phone and the bridge application prompted to update to 20d version, witch is the current January update... so the last choice is to wait or go to a cooked room in witch case you lose the warranty! Over all I love the phone, the camera it's the best point in this point, but for the end of the year I wish to switch to something new, or the S7 or the next Nexus.
I agree with you guys. This is not serious at all LG... I was impressed when I saw on XDA that LG will be one of the first to release MM, at that time I did not even own this device. But it is not enough to release one build and completely forget about it for almost half a year, we all know new software is good but it requires at least 3 major updates to be properly optimized and polished. Just for example look at windows, every time they released a new version it required at least two 1 GB updates to make it super stable. So what I wanted to say that if you release a new software you have to maintain it otherwise it's not gonna work, look how many revision there are already for MM in AOSP, obviously many of them are related to Google phones but there's a lot of improvements for the OS as well.
P.S. What about L, did you get any updates or they didn't even release 5.1? Because G3 I think still has 5.0...
i know. i'm checking daily for the security patch ,or even 6.0.1 to get the new UX,but i guess all we have to do is wait . Worth the wait because the phone is a beast with or without the security update. i don't mind at all ,when it comes,it comes . Just enjoy your phone
Even my Note 4 has a newer security patch! smh
Brazilian h815 20a stock rom(i m from România) .rooted with the newest security Patch and genesys ux5 theme over it. Very happy. Look at the pics

i'd rather wait for LG official's UX since i'm sure that we will get it soon.
Looks nice anyway .
I can only agree. Also still stuck on the January security update. Where are those promised monthly updates LG?! Getting really fed up with this.
I think the ux 5 update will get things a little better but not too much. LG G5 doesn't get tons of battery life
I downright lost my confidence on LG. They never updated my G4 while on Lollipop past the 5.1 version, even when every other respectable brand was already on 5.1.1 for a long time. I had to update using LGUP and I don't think we will see a 6.0.1 update. I'm afraid all we're gonna get is some promise to update to N somewhere in the future. Hopefully, I will have moved to Nexus by then.
just got a g4 i too am dissapointed in the lack of updates but if they change to the new lg skin i wont update need my appdraw without using a custom launcher
The only solution is custom rom guys ... I waited for 5 months and decided to install cyanogenmod 13 and guess what ... It is even smother and faster than that crap of Lg softvare .. Performance is very good and heat is no problem at all .. Good job cyanogenmod .. Lg i will never go back to stock

The problem is that our bootloader is locked, and we can't unlock it. We can't install custom rom. I hate LG

That would be great if all of LG G4 users were able to unlock the bootloader but, sadly, that's not the case. I'm also stuck with the last sec update from January and this shot hasn't gotten any major update since then, or at least an official bootloader unlock solution. This is going to be my last LG device from now on, I'll go for a developer friendly solution, maybe from Oneplus or other.

could you unlock the bootloader? how did you install the genesys theme?
Yeah, the real problem is that we can't unlock our G4's bootloaders. I have the h815p and the thing is bootloader-unlockable. I would've installed CyanogenMod a long time ago if I could.

Yes. I have H815 Open Euro and i unlocked the bootloader about a month ago. What model do you have?

Is one ever too old for a quality phone?

I hope not, because I just upgraded my 72 year old mother from a Nexus 5 to a OnePlus 3. Well, it's on the way.
I may not modify anything on the phone. However, I do have a question: Does OnePlus update their phones to the latest versions of Android often, regularly, or will she be lucky to see updates at all?
Thanks!

They are generally quite good regarding monthly security updates.
Regarding new android versions, it's not exactly the same. Oh, they will definitely update the OP3 to Android Nougat. Android O won't be out and you'll already have Nougat on your phone ! Amazing ! So fast ! :laugh:
Oneplus are certainly not the best regarding updates but they are probably not the worst.
Don't expect fast updates like Nexus.
Monthly updates are nice, if there're bugs , you may get 2-3 update per month. You surely get the Android N update, but with my experiences with OP1 and 2, you will have to wait 3-4 months after nexus, simply because you are running on a custom android- Oxygen( quite nice now) so they are worth waiting.
and remember you always have HUGE deverlop community here, OP forum &chinese forums( which you could have strange ROMs port ) , so dont afraid ,

The OP3 is a shift for them. I think they're potentially going to change the game up on their whole paradigm simply based on the success of this phone. The public and media seem to be pretty fond of the OP3 at present, and Oneplus will need to maintain that momentum and keep their client base happy. If they're smart, they'll push Android M no later than Q4 of this year.

system freezes

I don't know how well I can describe, the phone freezes sometimes when having multiple apps running on background. Would it be the phone specs that I have only 3GB and 32GB storage? After freezing a while, the phone shows system ui not responding.
What should I do for that?

I think this is just lack of Nokia optimising the software on the phone. I'm just waiting for someone to make a room for this thing cuz it pretty sucks right now.
Hi there. I bought my girlfriend this phone about a month ago due to a nearly glowing review on The Wirecutter. She's having the same problem, but she's not familiar with XDA so I offered to post here for her.
Is this an uncommon problem? I am not seeing any thread about intermittent System UI crashes on Nokia 6.1.
I think it depends on what apps you use on it. Hardware specs on this phone cannot handle everything. If you only use the camera in Whatsapp it allready csn hang. That's my main issue the camera. For the rest its ok.. maybe you need a high end phone.

I don't have any lagging, hanging issues with the phone, but take my opinion with a grain of salt since i have the 4GB/64GB version.
It seems like August patch is somewhat more optimized than previous version. I was stuck in June security patch then jumped to august, so i can tell that there were improvements..

with a task mgmt apk and close those that use a big amount of ram like those that continuously update like FB. Also reboot your phone very once and a while to refresh the OS
I run into this issue pretty often on TA-1045. Not sure what's causing it, but its to the point where the phone is almost unusable as a daily driver if you use your phone for important calls/messages .. I'm hoping the September update will address some of this, but I had a more reliable experience with my very old Nexus 5X running Android 8 compared to this
---------- Post added at 04:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:02 PM ----------
Also, I run into this issue with 1GB RAM free
Hello guys ! Same issue here , 3/32 gb. I can honestly say at this point that because of the lack of optimization the phone is a piece of sh*t. Literally, I cannot use it as a daily driver , I only have installed FB and messenger, what's app and 9 gag. I don't need use anything else. I don't use the camera . The phone just freezes and it's unusable for a minute or two. It freezes randomly , when unlocking when trying to make a call or when opening a ****ty app. TBH I wouldn't buy a device like this again .. my GF has the p20 lite , not bright at all but far far better then my 6.1 . If pie won't fix this I will just hammer the phone and throw it to garbage.
I think to say that this phone runs this way due to limited hardware is just coming up with excuses. My 2015 Moto g runs Oreo and everything else better than this phone and was $80 cheaper. My 10" tablet with a Snapdragon 400 series with 2gb of ram has none of these issues either. It has to be something not working correctly in the ROM. I really hope that pie fixes things, if not then eBay will be. To be fair lagging/freezing happens about 25% of the time. Camera freezing happens 90%, no system UI crash. Whats really ****ed up is how no review says how much this phone sucks.
The same freezes on my Nokia (TA-1043) waiting for custom roms... Nokia software is crap

I did contact nokia customer support, they told me to patiently wait for the next update and just restart my phone using the hardware keys when it freezes. When I asked about sending it to warranty they said again to wait for the next update . I said ok will do that . Now if pie doesn't fix this , I will make sure to let everyone know not to buy a nokia again .

Oh yes I have contacted them at least 5 times and they always say to do the same crap. Last one told me to send it in for warranty but I know they won't do anything since it's not only me with the issue and I don't want to be without a phone or them to open it up for nothing.

I agree they dont seem to offer real solutions. My main problem is the laggy camera. But if indeed android pie does not help. I am selling it to.
If it IS the ROM an "update" can only do so much and cant reverse system flaws inherent from the manufacturing process. It also doesnt help that the OS uses 2 Gs of RAM. Anyone know if the X6 has the same problem?
I have a TA-1045 (bought in USA) manufactured July 2018 that came pre-installed with Oreo 8.1 and I do not have any of the freeze or lag or whatever. If yours was updated from Nougat maybe you can factory reset it so it will clean everything in data and system/application preferences?

Do you have the 4GB with 64GB then? And maybe you dont have a lot of apps installed
To fix camera freezing try turning off location for camera in app settings and also in the camera settings.
The freezing has become unbearable. I can't believe how bad this phone is now. Such a shame, may need a new phone if not resolved soon.

General Pixel 6 and 6 Pro get out-of-cycle November update to improve the fingerprint sensor

"An update with the November security patch arrived for the majority of Pixel 6 and 6 Pro owners at the end of October. Google is now releasing updated builds for both phones, with global and Verizon variants.
Update 11/17: According to Verizon, this mid-cycle update “improves the performance of your device’s fingerprint sensor.” Early anecdotes of the 14.56MB OTA are bearing that out. However, “Check for update” does not currently trigger the download for all users."

That's good to hear. I'm still waiting for the update :/
Yeah ... looks indeed like a tiny bit of improvement ...
Still doesn't work with my tempered glass SP .
Mine was not bad before the update, but it is certainly faster and more consistent afterwards. Also very glad to see my unlocked version on Verizon pulled the correct VZ update right away.
anyone in UK had it yet? Got mine from Google store but no update is showing for me

I got it last night and it did indeed improve the FPS.
I wish they would update the camera to use the tele lens for Portrait and to use the user-selected lens for photos regardless of conditions.
Definite improvement. Makes this phone feel like the caliber it's supposed to be.

So your phone isn't on the global software version now? I'm on Verizon too but don't want their software version. Right now I'm on the global software. Still haven't received the update so I was curious about your situation. Thanks
I'm not really noticing a FP change but I never had problems with it to begin with.

Mine never pulled the first update so I sideloaded the VZ version. This time it pulled the VZ version.
I never had probs with the Fingerprint. But the system seems to open a bit faster.
Automatic brightness is working much better, too.
IMO the whole thing with the FPS was overblown. I never had an issue with it and it was certainly better than the one in my LG V60. I bet if Samsung had this same FPS performance, there wouldn't be any complaints.
Could someone please tell me how can I tell if my phone is locked or unlocked?

Ok. Mine was able to pull the first one by itself. Wonder what's going to happen.. I might have to side load the global version.

Question OnePlus 9 Pro worth buying in August 2022?

I think it is, especially if you're into custom ROMs and rooting and so forth, as the 10 Pro scene hasn't gotten to that point as of this writing; there's lots of fretting and hand-wringing in the 10 Pro forum about it. I picked up a refurbished one last month from Amazon and am tickled pink with it (I'm keeping my trusty 7 Pro as a backup). In fact, the first thing I did was load my custom-built LineageOS fork (which I had already built in anticipation) onto it, as there was no way I was going to stay on OxygenOS beyond using it to OEM unlock the phone.
Hey guys,
Just received a used 9 Pro LE2123 and I got it without any battery juice.
I am using the warp charger that is from this model and I noticed that the charging is super slow.
It came with Android C61 and I let it update to C62, if this plays any role.
Any ideas about what is happening?
Download OOS 11 Firmware from Oneplus Website and Flash it using Local Update App and format the device. Then upgrade into newest Version via OTA.

Why to do this?
The device was factory resetted when I got it.
Because you've literally no idea what the last user had flashed to it, or had messed around with.

Making Custom ROMs isn't my issue. The problem with 10 pro for me is not be able recover if got hardbricked (which I will do eventually) . We don't have any official stores in our country. And online services isn't really my thing. 10 Pro is 10$+ then 9 pro here. Still want to buy 9 pro over 10 pro cz of MSM mostly.

I guess after unlocking the bootloader and the full erase of data it should be fine.
op9pro could be a good phone for people living on social-media (nowadays the street-price is half of official price)
if you are flashotic or privacy-caring it's better thinking a bifferent device
Had mine for around 15 months, LE2123 it took a major hit when it went from a11 to a12. I'm completely stock and not modified in anyway. Overall I have been happy with the phone, I know it was expensive near launch but it's managed well so far. I've blocked all advertising by putting all my traffic through pihole and it's been good. Played a few games on boost mode and it's incredibly slick. I've seen in the latest version c62 you can use storage as ram also. Really love the camera, it has t's fault but most settings can be disabled ( like AI etc) and I am tempted to move to gcam.

Current device is still OnePlus 9Pro 8gb. LE2123 c62. (UK)
Finally rooted and cloned all my 146 apps from my previous OP6 phone and everything runs flawlessly.
Battery is great, the phone is super fast and it has a very good and fast camera.
My only concern is that some notifications are not coming up on time, so some apps need further check to fix this issue.

Don't use Gmail app. I personally use Sugar mail and never missed any emails.
The 9 Pro continues to hold its own! Actually it's still pretty popular!
Personally in the US its one of the few options left available for those who like to really customize their devices. With spectacular battery life on customs (I've had mine about a month and get 8h SOT with some light gaming casually). I mean it doesn't get much better than this! Sure during heavy tasks it can get a little hot but that is slightly improving with OOS12 firmware. It will still reach those peak temps but seemingly not as fast. I got mine from Amazon as well for about $750 USD quite the deal! Using this device has be quite the pleasure. I'm definitely happy on Crdroid with BluSpark kernel. And since OOS has dropped the ball it means that OOS12 based custom roms will get nice custom kernel support which isn't normally there for a long time. Looking forward to the future of this phone!
No, stick with a phone that has good stock firmware. Oos is buggy af and is getting more and more like chinese bloat.
I would suggest a pixel over it (maybe 7?)

Except that Pixel phones have a lot of problems of their own, including the firmware, and there's no reason to believe that the 7 series will be any different given Google's recent track record. Pixel vs 9 Pro is just one set of issues versus another at this point. But, if one wants to delve into custom ROMs, both are good in that department (disclaimer: I don't follow the custom ROM scene for Pixel phones so I'm not as familiar with it as I am the OnePlus line).

Pixels have lacking support compared to what it used to be with the Nexus line up. There is some interest but it's mostly unofficial support that doesn't last for long and its nothing that you can rely on like with the OnePlus phones

The biggest problem that puts people off the Pixels right now is the Samsung SoC and modem. Stupid decision on Google's part.
