I will update this thread as I found issues.
1. Middle of downloads the phone turned off and refused to switch on. Taking the battery out enabled restarting the phone again.
2. Despite of master reset/factory reset the phone is really laggy. Freezing applications made Defy very responsive but under 2.2.2 it appears no difference at all. (Second factory reset seems brought back somme life to my phone now...)
3. Definitely something is causing an annoying delay at startup even though the phone appears to be ready to use.
4. I have noticed once after a restart the capacitive buttons didn't light up for 1-2 minutes even though I was using the phone. The LauncherPro is installed and I'm suspecting that is the culprit here.
5. Once a number is dialed the phone locks itself. This is rather inconvenience when you need immediately use the key pad to select options. (20 June 2011)
Guidelines - 20 June 2011
I decided to write a guideline for Defy users. The information provided here have already been mentioned by others but normally not in one place. Please follow the steps below every time you flash a new ROM.
1. Master Reset (Whether you like this step or not this is required to do. Imagine upgrading a windows machine, it would be simply a mess in most cases. Any pro users would tell you always to do a clearn install. The same principle with Android applies)
2. Discharge the battery (It seems flashing a ROM messes up the battery calibration. Drain the battery to the point it won't boot then recharge it from the wall socket)
3. Avoid Restoring Apps (Only if is a must. Since Android 2.2 is different to 2.1 many apps might not work very well with the same settings restored from 2.1. Some vendors also offer different version for Android 2.2 or higher. Installing from market is best practice)
4. Avoid using widgets (They are simply battery eaters. Avoid them if they don't provide useful functionality to you)
5. Don't trust all vendors (Many apps placed on Android Market is written by programmers with no experience at all. A badly written app not only drains more battery but also takes up more precious RAM than it should. The less RAM you have, the slower the phone performs)
6. Don't keep large number of emails in your inboxes (They simply take up more memory)
7. Charge your mobile from wall socket when you can. It really does make a difference and also a recommended method by Motorola.
8. Put the Mobile Network to 2G when you can. It does save considerable amount of battery.
9. Switch off the phone once per day for 30 seconds before switching it on again.
Any chance to get hands on SBF for this release

I notice on my handset (UK T-Mobile eclair) that the capacitive buttons sometimes dont light up when holding the phone landscape. I think there is a light sensor somewhere which detects the ambient light and adjusts the capacitive button lighting.

That will get you the motorola update software.
During the update the .sbf is downloaded. We need to get the sbf, however it is deleted once the update has finished. I think this happens when the motorola software asks to "reboot phone, connect usb and verify update".
Please, if anyone does the update make sure to find the .sbf file and copy it somewhere safe before the update is verified. Then post to xda of course

I'm not sure either, I reverted to 2.51 and did the update form that point.
Anyone installed CM over 3.4.2_177-3?

Thanks for that. I can actually reconfirm the issue. Last night when I was setting my alarm, with no lights in the room, I noticed once again the capacitive buttons' led were off. I was helding the phone in portrait and I know for sure this problem wasn't there in 2.1 because I always set my alarm after I turn the lights off (Bedroom's). When I press the Home Key to come out of the Alarm app the capacitive buttons lit up again.

If the msu is compiled by Motorola then I'm sure you won't be able to upgrade. The .msu can contain many other smaller installers that can do all the checking, exactly the way the update program does. Your only solutuion is to revert back to Motorola's stock ROM and give it a try.
Two more very annoying Defy/Froyo issues:
1) You can't disable the lockscreen anymore, so prepare for a lot of annoying swiping. Yes, you can get rid of the slider with an app called "No Lock," but this will also disable your security lock (pin code or pattern) which leaves your phone wide open.
2) The new gallery has more eye candy but less functionality, and it got slower too. If you open the folder list you can't read long folder names anymore. Is there is a way to run the old 2.1 gallery on Froyo?
I found the gallery the worst bit. So poor, I can't believe they let it go out like that. Runs like a dog.
I feel embarrassed for Motorola. Or I would if they were not working hard every day making their great hardware under-perform!
Seriously what a phone once CM is on it!

As far as I'm concerned Motorola has degraded the phone and I'm not too sure if that is legal or not. I'm referring to the apps Motorola developed such as the video player and the gallery that you pointed out, not the Android itself. The additional Task Manager that was shipped with 2.1 in US is a welcome.
I have found my defy is performing slower, unless those claim Defy performs better with Android 2.2 has some settings that I don't. I ended up installing SetVSel to speed thigns up. It seems to me I'm getting 1/4 less juice out of my battery. I can reconfirm it once I play music on it for a couple of hours.
Not wanting to sound negative all the time, here are some positive things I found so far. I'm very happy with this update because now I got all my emails working on my handset which was important to me which missed the feature for the past 6 months. The browser appears to work very smoothly in most cases. I haven't used the Tasks app yet but that is another welcome addition as I always have a need for such features on portable devices. Other positive things about Android is to thank google not Motorola anyway. The slightly improved dialer worth just mentioning about it.
If Motorola refuses to give us Gingerbread then I hope they provide an update to fix some minor issues that either annoying or impacting the user experience soon enough.
I gotta say I'm pretty surprised about all the issues people are facing with the Froyo update everywhere. I had the french update installed which was one of the first available in Europe before moving on to the leaked 2.3.3 and it was smoother than ever. No bug at all except for the space touch getting a bit crazy while typing a text a few times. I didn't have many applications installed. A few people mentioned the update's fine as long as you don't have much installed on the phone but it starts getting extremely laggy when you keep installing more and more applications. After a factory reset there shouldn't be any lags though !

QuickPic would be the best gallery app if it would let us change the grid size (the thumbnail previews are too big now) and if it had "all photos" and "all videos" views. Unfortunately QuickPic only does folders.

Thank you for your post. In my experience there was a noticeable performance difference between 2.1 and 2.2.2 before a single application was installed. One theory to why some people are happy with the performance and others are not could be down to different components used in Defy. No one knows for sure if all Defy around the globe use exactly the same components or not. As you pointed out installing apps appears to effect the performance so we can conclude those that are not experiencing performance decrease are not power users.

I am confused, all my photos and videos are in folders anyway and all the previews load like lightning so i fail to to see the problem, it is better than any default gallery whichever way you look at it.
Anyway only issue i can find with the retail 2.2 is how low highest screen brightness setting seems to be, the display is really hard to read outside now.
If you have a hundred pictures scattered over ten folders, would you want to tap into those folders one by one to browse all your photos?
Just like there's a unified inbox for mails from many accounts so you don't have to jump from one mailbox to the next, the stock gallery has a unified pictures view (all pictures in one grid) for all your folders.
If you want to swipe through lots of pictures from a bunch of different folders, having them all in one grid beats having to open all the different folders one by one.
If QuickPic would have the same unified picture view and custom picture grid sizes I would throw the stock gallery out. While QuickPic is working on it (are they?) I'll keep both apps.
The problem with the capacitive buttons that not lighting up is worse than I thought. It happens all the time, it doesn't light up and the only way to make it to work, when it gets really bad, by locking the phone (power switch) and unlocking it again.
The battery life noticeably shortened after the update. What I have done today was to completely discharge the battery to the point it doesn't turn on. Recharged it fully again without turning it on and from the wall socket. I'll report back if there was any improvements on Monday.
I also uninstalled VSel and set it to default CPU speed again. Despite of freezing so many apps and services the start up is really slow and I really feel the lag with the phone.
Another Defy/Froyo bug:
Dial *#*#4636#*#* to get into a service menu. From there battery_history/network_usage would tell you network traffic per app since last boot/unplugged/all time.
In Eclair all data was counted. In Froyo it usually doesn't count anything.
Wave Control uses the proximity sensor to detect hand gestures to control music playback (free version) and more (paid version).
Update (10/11/2012): Half of proceeds from app sales from October will be donated to Breast Cancer Research
More Info Here
Update (9/7/2012): New Tasker Support for changing profiles in Wave Control!
I developed this originally on the Note and luckily it happened to have one of the best proximity sensors (at least for my uses). Now I've moved on to the SGSIII and it works just as well! Works best on the SGSIII, Note and Galaxy Nexus. Not so great on HTC phones and SGSII due to their particular sensors (much slower).
There are 4 basic gestures:
-Hover
-1 Wave
-2 Waves
-3 Waves
By default they correspond to Play/Pause, Next, Previous, Enable/Disable Controls respectively.
In the Pro version or upgraded free version, they can be remapped to any of those plus: Screen Toggle On/Off, Volume Up, Volume Down, Launch Google Voice Search, Alt Play/Pause (for MX Video Player), and do nothing.
Popular uses are:
When driving, don't have to take your eyes off the road to try to hit a button
When your hands are dirty so you don't smear crap all over your phone like when cooking or working on car
While on the computer, you don't have to bother waking the phone to change the song (works even when the screen is off)
I'd like to see what you guys think of it. If you have any suggestions for new features or any feedback, I'd love to hear it.

I just put out a new version, 2.0 that was developed on the SGSIII. It adds nifty action bar navigation and an upgrade store for the free version.

It's innovation like this which win's awards my friend.
What can the sensor actually pick up? I'm thinking minority report here
If swipe left and right can be mapped to a gesture and hover or a quick left right for select then you could look through your phone freehand.
Great idea m8.
An Excelent idea.Very nice!
But can you tell us about battery consumption?
Unlocking,opening media player,pressing next is annoying.
i test it now,it's ok,but why the app need all that permissions ?

I wish I could detect direction. I tried using both the proximity sensor and the light sensor together but the light sensor was too slow and always fired after the proximity sensor so I couldn't interpret direction.
I want to use the front cam but will need some really efficient code (probably OpenCL) so it doesn't kill the battery.

It's about on the order of what the music player uses or a bit less. I do suggest exiting the app fully if you won't be using it for awhile. Running the sensor endlessly does use power. Not that much but some.

Settled over email.
I think I'll need to add a link for the Pro version in the Upgrades tab. This is my first shot at in-app purchases and I still need to support the existing Pro version.
Great appS!!! Working great on my pebble blue..^^ Still testing on battery usage. Report again tmr..

Working on my note. Sorry i know its the s3 forum... But is there a way to pick up phone calls while its ringing... Sorry if this has been answered

To answer calls: turn on Call Controls in Settings and when the phone is ringing two waves is set to answer.
I've got it on my to do list to make it customizable. But for now Call Controls are fixed to one and two waves.

READ THE OP FIRST BEFORE POSTING!!
This thread is for discussing bugs, issues, work around, and suggestions for the beta for the US models. Please no discussion of the international models. There's already a thread for that, and I don't want to confuse bugs/fixes for the wrong model.
If you have the international model (N975F), please see @henklbr 's thread here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...laxy-note10-sm-n975f-official-oneui2-t3987433
Stay on topic. This thread is to discuss issues with the beta, not how to get it. There's already a couple threads for that as well. The basic step is to sign up for the beta in the Members App, or download the OTA from firmware.science. For further assistance, please see @tlbland0426 's thread at:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...available-note-10-unlocked-sm-n975u1-t4002783
When posting your issues, please state what software version you're on (current one is 2ZSL5), and if you did a dirty flash, restored data, or did a complete clean install.
I know this isn't an official channel to report to Samsung, but bugs discussed here can be forwarded to Samsung in the beta app.
Please read the OP and the entire thread before posting.
Been running the beta (ZSK3) for less than 24 hours. I did officially register, and started to download the OTA through device settings, but it requires WiFi. I was at a hotel and the WiFi there was achingly slow, so I went to firmware.science so I could just download the OTA with LTE, then manually flashed it through recovery.
I performed a clean install. Factory data reset, flash OTA, then another factory data reset. Then I set it up from scratch. I didn't restore anything.
Here is my experience so far:
Pros:
1. Dark Mode - I love the native system-wide dark mode.
2. Space below keyboard - I use gestures and GBoard, and I like how now even third party keyboards are pushed up a bit, and you have the keyboard switcher and close keyboard buttons.*
3. Charge Status Toggle - Ability to turn off the charge status. (Thank you Samsung!)
4. Fingerprint Icon Toggle - Ability to turn the fingerprint reader icon on or off.*
5. Improved Biometrics - Fingerprint reader seems to work MUCH better now. Even with the last few updates on Pie, my FP reader was almost worthless. Now it's nearly flawless.
Cons/bugs:
1. Brightness Slider - No longer able to display brightness control on top in the notification shade. I use the brightness slider a lot, and it's frustrating having to fully expand the notification shade when I want to adjust it.
2. Gestures - The new gestures aren't very intuitive. I prefer the gestures from Pie. I know I can still use those, but I'm really trying to get used to this style, since it's what Google will push everyone toward anyway. This system of gestures is Google fault not Samsung's.
3. Home screen Jank - I occasionally get issues with the home screen freezing. Seems to be when I'm having issues with the gestures, particularly getting Google Assistant to activate via swipe.
4. Syncing issues - There's several Samsung apps/services that will not sync. Samsung Pass, Samsung Internet. Samsung Contacts, and a few others. Under Samsung account settings, when trying to sync them, they say "syncing" then change to "Couldn't sync." This occurs in WiFi and cellular.
5. Disney+ - Not compatible from the Play Store. I was able to install it, log in, and watch movies with a work around, so I know it works. Not sure if this is Disney's problem, or Samsung's. I know it works on other devices running Android 10, so who knows.
6. Netflix - this could've been my issue. I was in the Netflix beta program, and Netflix installed, but kept telling me to update, then telling me it wasn't compatible. I had to leave the beta, and sideload an older version from apkmirror. Working fine now.
7. WiFi issues - It connects to WiFi just fine, but some apps wouldn't load or allow me to sign in while on WiFi. See below.
8.. VUDU - It would initially force close. I deleted and sideloaded an older version that would freeze on the load screen. Updated that version through the Play Store and it wouldn't force close, but would freeze. I was on WiFi and when I turned it off VUDU loaded. (WiFi was pulling 250 Mbps down, so it wasn't the issue).
9. Hulu - When I tried to log in, it kept saying couldn't reach server. Again, was on WiFi in a restaurant pulling 250 Mbps down. But once I shut off WiFi, it signed right in.
10. Full Immersive Mode - This option is still missing in Samsung Internet and most video apps. It works just fine in YouTube and Disney+. We should have the option of using full Immersive Mode at least in the internet browser. As far as movies, make the rounded corners on the black bar less rounded.
Disney+ app workaround. See below.

Download all 4 files from here:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1-QC8B-Cic3gU00CF3u1pYvP-zWZ663nG
Install the SAI.apk
After that has been installed open that app and then select Install APKs
Select the 3 other apk files that you downloaded then click Select (3) and it will install the working Disney+ app

You actually can put it back on top, you just need to set this.
Just press the 3 dots when pulling the dropdown menu, then select the quick layout panel
No issues with Disney+ and Netflix either

Just press the 3 dots when pulling the dropdown menu, then select the quick layout panel
No issues with Disney+ and Netflix either

Thank you!!! Not sure why they hid that option.
So you were able to download and install Disney+ from the Play Store while on the beta?

Yes no issues with that, but i cannot remember if i installed the apps before i upgraded...
One of the only real issues I'm having is with the new gestures, mainly the recent apps gesture. When using it straight from the home screen it works like 50/50 for me and sometimes causes OneUI Home to crash but using it when you have an app open it seems to work much better.
Edit: (2ZSK3 obviously). I got the OTA through the beta registration and had some issues because I had #hex installed so I did a factory reset. I did however restore everything from Samsung Cloud afterwards.

It still shows as incompatible in the Play Store for me. Go to the Play Store and look for Disney+. Below the unsintall/open buttons, tell me if you see a message in red lettering that the app is now incompatible with your device.

Yes, the recents gesture from home screen is very wonky. I had some home crashes too when I first installed and set everything up, and I actually wound up doing another factory reset to get rid of them.

I have been running the U1 firmware on my Verizon Note 10+ since the day it launched. It retains wifi calling, volte calling, and visual voicemail. The only thing missing that I've found so far is native video calling in the phone app but that wasn't a big deal to me as I never use it anyways.
Do you mind sharing how you were able to get Disney+ installed and working?

How'd I miss that! Thank you!
Also found doing factory reset after installing this that whatsapp would no longer verify my number.
So today I sent several feedback reports to Samsung through the OneUI beta app. Please keep the feedback coming. In my experience with past betas, Samsung really does listen to our feedback when it's directed through the proper channels.
Besides the new animations I don't see anything really worth writing home about. It's beta so there's quite a bit of bugs. Android auto on my android 10.25 screen exhibit a buzz and audio moving from car to phone sporadically. The new gesture navigation is not as easy to use. I much prefer using Pie control (which is not 100% compatible now) for launching home, recent, and back. One handed operation to swipe diagonally up to shrink the screen. Diagonally down to bring top of the screen down. I've also seen more battery drain and on screen fingerprint isn't as accurate anymore. Beta 2 is supposed those 2 things. The one UI lock up is also being addressed.
I'm hoping beta 2 will soon be releases for US unlocked. Otherwise, I think I will switch back but dreading that as it will factory reset my device.

Beta 2 was released this morning finally. I agree this is one of the buggiest betas I've tried in the last few years. I'm the opposite of you with the fingerprint reader though. It was almost useless on Android 9. On this beta it's much faster and more accurate. Works nearly 100% of the time for me. Although it seems more sensitive to the screen being dirty.
Beta 2 has been released
I awoke to a notification that beta 2 was released. Below is the changeling from Samsung.
[ Beta Software Update )
:l S/W Version
- ZSKH
:l Bug Fix
- The screen flickers
- When returning from some app to the home screen the
background can appear to be blurred
- The status bar disappears when turning the screen off,
/vhile some app is opened
- When taking a screenshot, and opening Recent window
after that, the screenshot of recent window is captured
- Keybaord is cut at the bottom
- Keyboard can't be resized
- Two contacts app display after update
- Application that has been removed from the folder and
laced on Home Screen disappears
- After update, app shape changed to Android app shape
- AOD doesn't appear while charging
- A Noise can be heard when connecting a Bluetooth device
- Improved gestures interactions, some problems have been
axed.
:l Known Issues
- No scrolling in widget state.
- The Fingerprint icon stays on the screen after unlocking the
device.
: Disappears when unlocking with fingerprint icon displayed
)n lock screen
I took the OTA this morning and it seems to be running ok so far. The screen flickering was something I saw alot on beta 1 and that seems to be corrected. My battery life was pretty good on beta 1 also so I will have to see how this performs. Thought it was interesting it has the December security patch already.

My lack of patience and frustration with beta 1 got to me and downgraded to 9 over the weekend. However I did not deregistered for the beta just in case I want to try future betas. The one most frustrating for me was audio output going from car to phone and vice versa when using android auto. I did report it so maybe it will get addressed in beta 3.

You can also restore apps in Smart Switch if you had backed it up on Pie.
My OnePlus 7T Global HD1903 was on stock OOS Stable for almost 3 years now.
I just decided to update to OOS12 Beta 2 (Indian) yesterday and overall, I like it!
Official update guide here: OxygenOS 12 Open Beta 2 for the OnePlus 7T and OnePlus 7T Pro
Improvements:
1. Stock launcher: now has Google Feeds built-in.
2. Stock launcher: can now lock home screen icon arrangements. This is especially a big deal for me because I always mis-swipe icons and accidentally rearrange them.
3. Game mode: swipe notification banner is now easier to use. You can easily adjust brightness now, which is what I always use when gaming.
4. WiFi and Bluetooth connects faster.
5. Mobile data: signal is more stable. This surprised me a lot because this is an Indian ROM flashed on a Global device. I live in the Philippines, so it may vary from country to country.
6. Fast switching between mobile data and wifi, unlike on OOS11 where there's around 3 seconds of delay.
7. More stable fingerprint scanning (FOD) so it feels faster too, unlike on OOS11 when there are instances that I have to try 3x before my fingerprint gets recognized.
8. Larger PIN input when restarting device and FOD is disabled.
9. Lowest brightness is now even lower. Very good when you use your phone in pitch black environments.
What's missing, and what can be improved:
1. AOD: still the same old crappy Sometimes On Display. My Oppo Reno has a proper AOD, which I thought would be implemented in this update.
2. Recents: app settings cannot be launched directly anymore.
3. Notification banners: button texts are buggy/cut (like Reply or Like). Although this is an Android 12 issue, OnePlus could have fixed it.
4. Stock launcher: home screen icons cannot be set individually. (I bought icon packs for this feature)
5. Stock launcher: home screen icons cannot be renamed anymore. (You can remove app names completely)
6. Dolby Atmos is now disabled when using built-in speakers. Ironically, I only enable them when using the built-in speakers to make sound louder.
7. VoLTE and VoWiFI
Bugs and Nitpicks (but not dealbreakers):
1. Very long boot time. Logo always stuck for 40 seconds before boot animation shows up.
2. Boot animation stutters (low FPS).
3. On standard home screen mode (drawer disabled), SIM Toolkit apps always show up on the home screen after every reboot, even if you put them in a folder.
4. Some apps think that the device/sim is Indian, so there are notifications telling you to enable Roaming. Just disable these notifications once, then they'll stop showing up.
5. Lock screen colors are still oversaturated when FOD is enabled (same with OOS10 and OOS11). This is why I just use a black wallpaper for lockscreen.
6. Stock launcher icon names can now only be removed completely (no app names on drawer too), unlike before where it only doesn't show on the home screen.
I finaly update myself... But I am little disappinted.
first of all, AOD on OOS 11 (oob5) worked perfectly... it doesn't work here... it just is.
I have a big lag when I want to use gestures, especially when I want to leave the gallery in the home screen... everything seems to be slower.
Third, the phone and phonebook app is now much worse... it's much slower to find a name in the phone book.
Fourth, the theme substratum does not work, pureblack for example, so the notification shade is not black as I would like it to be... and all the colors seem washed out to me.
Five, no advinced power menu any more... And no optio for clear cache in recovery
I use Nova and I like it....
High performance mod... is for me must be on

And I am realy frustrated with new phonebook/call app
EDIT: I still have this bug... with gallery app and only Gallery app for now...
When I swap from botom to top... to go to home screen... bacj is just fine... but going straith to home not working in gallery app
Do you know what is Onet app?
Is it India specific? Like Idwntificarion of Unknow Number (doea it work in eu) ?
Also is there any easy way like iit was on 11 to check/change battery optimisation for specific app... or I need to go from settings and to look for app in the hole list?

I also use swipe navigation but don't have that issue on the Gallery app. I can smoothly transition from Gallery to Home Screen. I uploaded a video: CLICK HERE
Regarding apps you don't need, there is an option to disable them in the app settings.
On the end... I find that my bigrst problem is notificstion lock screen. When I get notificstion I have it for first time, but if I unlock and relock without open notificstin at all... it disappears from lock screen.
Does anyone know how to fix that behavior... Notification not show on LockScreen?
And AOD, not working... All time.... on OB5 ti was working all time if you whant that. Here it just disappear if you do not touch or move phone. I disklike that behavior.
Also I find out that Tasker, or any other app on 12 can not disable network status (2G/3G/4G) even with root.

In the end, this is a HUGE step backwards for me... and many OnePlus fans who wanted something more and stuck to the Never Settle slogan.
Oppo Coloros is not usable with many applications and causes problems with an even larger number. Maybe at first glance it looks like it's moving smoothly and quickly, but it's just an illusion.
Tasker is just one of those applications and is considered one of the most powerful Android tools, but it is completely unusable even with Root on this system. Even the most ordinary things, which are useful to me, as it is. turning on screen rotation and screen time out for certen apps do not work. Let's not talk about some more complex actions such as norification and starting AOD when there is an unread notification.
AOD itself is very unreliable, I installed 3 different "updates" of the AOD application itself to get it to work at all.
The notification on the lockscreen is just a "masterpiece" it only works once when you receive the notification, and whether you read it or not, it will never appear on the lockscreen again, no matter how many times you unlock or lock your screen.
As a root user of a phone that supports 90Hz, I used to be able to always and in all circumstances use that option, now the screen is almost always at 60Hz no matter what you set and there is no longer a possibility to "force" the phone to always use 90Hz even with an ADB command... All this did not increase the battery life in the least... it even decreased it because the screen is no longer black (which I could achieve on OOS 11 using Subststratum pure black tmeme) but mostly gray.
I still don't have time to dedicate a whole day to wiping the data and going back to the good old OOS... but if you don't want to just have the number 12 in the phone info... and if you use the phone for anything more than texting and answering on calls, it's better to redistribute with old security patches than to get frustrated with Color OS.
Even the most common application, phone book and phone dealer, is a step backwards for me, although I could get used to it if at least some of the basic things that I am used to as a user would work.
Bluetooth, WiFi... Mobile Data... Signal strength, I really have no complaints, it all works great. Preinstalled applications work well and it's a matter of habit and personal taste whether you like the design or not.
But if you use Tasker, Huawei watch, or are a root user who is a bit more demanding... know that I Color OS is very restrictive and that 99% of things will not work as they did on OOS... Especially if you come with OOS Beta 4 or 5 which had AOD working and if you are used to it, I would not recommend you to waste your time and switch to Color OS.
The number 12 is not worth your time, annoyance and searching for a solution for what was working beautifully and smoothly, just because it is a number higher than 11.
On the end choices is yours... Just like it was mine when I done misktake and update.

Have you tried any custom ROMs such as Pixel Experience? What are your thoughts on them if you have. I grew tired of waiting for OnePlus to release a stable 12 and installed Pixel Experience. I am mostly satisfied with it, although battery drain is more pronounced.

Your #1 mistake was to dirty flash a beta software into an older android version.
Even on custom roms, that's a very bad idea.

Actualy, that doesn't change anything... It's Color OS... and all working just it work on cleen install. So I didn't make any mistake there, except the fact that Color OS is not for me or anyone who like freedom of OOS... When I decide to be restricted like I am on ColotOS, I will buy iphone.
So, does your clean installation act differently... lock screen notificstion, AOD, can Tasker change you system settings (turn on and off AOD if you have any new notification, for example), can you force 90Hz in all apps?
Because thats are problems... I don't have any fingerprint or any other system lroblem except it's inconsistent and undefined... it's doesn't have all android 12 theming and look but it's not OOS costumization.

Hello everyone,
Just received my new phone a few days back. Love how it looks, my first ZTE phone.
A few questions:
1. When I set maps navigation, and press home, it won't go picture in picture, the screen flashes like it's going to, then does nothing.
2. In most apps swiping back or home button requires a second swipe for confirmation. Can this be disabled, as just my other phones didn't have this with maps or many other apps?
我的 LINE 也沒辦法正常提醒。
1. It works well on mine with Google maps. I think you probably need to go to settings of that navigation app and allow picture-in-picture
2. If you don't want the confirm, you need to turn off the "full screen anti-false touch".
XDA members, I am having issues with trying to close ALL background apps on my Nubia 8 Pro. What occurs on my device when I attempt to close all background apps, there is always 1 remaining which I have to swipe away manually??? There aren't any locks on my apps, and it happens randomly. I don't understand why this occurs when I hit the circled "X" to close and afterwards it states "Accelerated".
Any thoughts??? It is very annoying to say the least.
Same problem, except when I check all my apps are still opened lol.

Exactly right!!! Little nuisances like this are what is causing me frustrations! I am hoping this gets fixed in a software update release soon or custom ROM's.
There is also the issue with blocking Heads-up pop-ups in apps. They still continue to occur.

Yeah I'm coming from a Xiaomi 12S Ultra. Big differences in software. MIUI 14 is very crisp and finely trimmed.
Red Magic as a first experience from a software perspective has not been great.
Hoping for an update soon. So far issues with swipe gestures, fingerprint takes much too long to register, multitasking is an issue, should be able to remap things like the switch on the side, and the shoulder triggers.
There's a lot of work that needs to be done.
Beautiful design though.
So I'm reading on the reddit thread that there are certain fingerprint animations that make the fingerprint recognition better and faster. Anyone confirm this one and maybe suggest the best animation?
That wouldn't make any sense. It should project the same amount of light through for detection no matter which animation.

Yet I just received a response from him saying that with the 4th fingerprint animation counting from left to right he hasn't missed a single one today while yesterday he had a 70% success rate. How is your fingerprint sensor? Any fails? Which is your animation?
Good day, I am experiencing this capped 5g connection using rm8, speed is capped at 34-ish mbps, while 2.4g is at 150+, using same network with galaxy note 9, both bands reaches 200+mbps

Hi , can you tell me what's happened with multitasking ?
The latest update has fixed this issue.
Register the Same finger Multiple times!!!
I have the same Finger registered 3 time and I have yet to have a problem.
it does have issues with just 1 register.
I can say that the Fingerprint reader in my Asus ROG 3 phone was way worse then this one.
i couldn't even use the one in the ROG phone

What occurs on my device when I attempt to close all background apps, there is always 1 remaining which I have to swipe away manually??? There aren't any locks on my apps, and it happens randomly. I don't understand why this occurs when I hit the circled "X" to close and afterwards it states "Accelerated".
Any thoughts??? It is very annoying to say the least.

China OEMs are like that. Even Oneplus oxygenOS, xiaomi MIUI also the doing the same. If you are using whatsapp, and u cleared the recent tasks at the whatsapp screen, the whatsapp will still be opened. The only way u can clear all recents is to exit from whatsapp first to home screen, and clear all.
I dont even get the reason why they do that and cant just clear everything from the recents page
I also realised PIP in youtube doesnt work when using gesture navigation. The only wait to trigger PIP to work for youtube is to keep swiping back till the youtube app exits..
Just by swiping up to home screen doesnt trigger PIP

It does pip if you swipe to home when you are in fullscreen mode or when you press a notification from another app. Same happens for every app that supports pip that I have tried.

Translation is horrible. Hungarian language is missing on most part and software update menu is displayed in Spanish istead of Hungarian or English.

Yeah I'm coming from a Xiaomi 12S Ultra. Big differences in software. MIUI 14 is very crisp and finely trimmed.
Red Magic as a first experience from a software perspective has not been great.
Hoping for an update soon. So far issues with swipe gestures, fingerprint takes much too long to register, multitasking is an issue, should be able to remap things like the switch on the side, and the shoulder triggers.
There's a lot of work that needs to be done.
Beautiful design though.

@GodKingKnight, have there been any improvements in the UI and those pesky nuisances that plagued the RedMagic 8 Pro since the past few updates have rolled out? I ended up selling mine to go with a folding device, but I am considering picking it back up again.... that is given the firmware updates have addressed much of the issues that plagued the device in its initial release.
