Should I update my watch to lollipop?

I'm currently still running 4.4 but I've read horror stories of 5.0 and above being really buggy and not pushing notifications anymore and random disconnects. Has that been fixed or should I stay with 4.4?

It's a good update. No issues that I have had except that sometimes I set my notifications to none on accident. No performance or reliability issues.

I may consider it then. Did you notice any increase in battery life?

Yes, it's pretty massively better. I didn't have mine for very long prior to the 5 update (we're on 5.0.2 on the watch now), but I would definitely go ahead and update it.

I have no problem/issue after updating.

I did the update and am very pleased. The overall experience is better plus better battery life.

Same as everyone else
I highly recommend the update to 5:good:

We updated my wife's watch to Lollipop shortly after we took it out of the box. I like the Lollipop interface better and she has had no problems with it.

You can update to Lollipop. It is advance version and you will feel the power of this updated version.

Update 5.1.1 dont work command voice
Hello, the thing is that I buyed this smartswatch; the watch did the update for OTA 5.1.1 , and the command voice doesnt work.
Do you know what can I do?
Thanks in advance

The first thing I would do is a factory reset of the watch.

Video Stutter Issue in P2

from the last few days i am facing frame skipping in video playback (including youtube app, mx player, vlc) , the video lags and skips few frames.
I did a factory reset, installed deodexed version, wiped cache even reinstalled stock but the problem is still there
Anyone with some info please help
thanks in advance

Yeah bro,i am also facing same problem, BTW did u find any solution?

I'm also facing same issue after nougat update,
I have factory reseted my phone, updated all apps and applied system settings (enabled 'FORCE GPU RENDERING), but it doesn't solved my problem.

Yes it's present in stock ROM nougat version. On mm there weren't any such issues.
Sent from my Lenovo P2a42 using Tapatalk

i don't thinks that its a solution
but after flashing the nougat rom through fastboot the problem of stutter has reduced greatly
now it doesn't stutter that often

Any other solutions for this problem?? i have already factory reset it 2 times and i don't want to risk my new device doing fastboot flash :crying:

any solution for this prblm

I updated my phone to 244 and did a factory reset still the problem persisted but the stutter doesn't seem to occur when I keep it in airplane mode. Can anyone try this.

Guys, I guess I figured it out. Turning off the "participate in the Lenovo experience program" in about phone in settings fixed mine. Hope it works out the same for you guys.

Doesn't work for me, had it turned off from the beginning. The problem also applies to alarm sounds for me, they pause for a split of second every 10-15 secs, is it caused by the same thing?
Is this a common problem or only happens to some of the ppl? How can I know this? I bought this phone yesterday and after it consumed 25% of battery overnight I seriously consider returning it The battery was the main reason I purchased it and now is seems not only it doesnt work properly but other stuff is broken...

Did you update the phone to 244. If not then try it and check again. There weren't any other problems for me other than the video stutters.

If the question was for me, then yes, I did update to 244 and did a full wipe afterwards.

Hmm. Guess your only option is to give it to Lenovo service center and make them roll it back to marsh mellow.

Weird Bug!!! Seems it happens only when using Jio sim in nougat. It will not lag when u switch on aeroplane mod...

Same for me, airplane mode solves the stutter issue. Can you confirm that it works OK on other sim cards.

How does this help me with YouTube? I believe that it will not even load without internet? And what is "Jio"?

It's a 4g carrier in India. Btw have you tried airplane mode. We know that you can't use YouTube but try Mx player or vlc for stutters while in airplane mode. We just want to narrow the possibilities.

I bought a Bluetooth headphone yesterday and it seems to get worse. It was then I found out that an app named Android system was draining my battery but is not the actual Android system(check the screenshot).I went to the app manager and force stopped this app and haven't felt any stutters till now.
Edit: Although the app opens up after a while even if you force stop it and the stutters continue. Need to check after freezing it.

Does this problem still exist? Planned to buy this phone today... but meh, thats a dealbreaker.
Does this problem occur on Custom ROMs too? damn ... i want this battery monster.

The phone doesn't have any major problems such as this one on marshmallow at least from what I hear but running it on nougat will make you to face such problems and Lenovo provides a crappy support.

Oreo8.1 slow performance. lag, battery drain

Hi.
i hope i am not the only 1 whos facing slow performance since the upgrade of Oreo version.
since 8.1 the phone is really terrible.
everything takes more time than usual .
battery draining is really something you cant miss
all the phone is laggy and not function well
i tried to factory reset.
uninstall apps
clean memory
etc.
what else can i do ?
i want to fix this phone to have the option of selling it as i already bought oneplus 5t

I recently picked up a used N5X on Swappa and just upgraded to 8.1. I was starting to wonder if the battery was going bad or if it was the update because I don't think I can get 2 hrs of SOT right now....

yup i can understand that.
there is some short fix regarding the battery.
need to change the gpu renderer to opengl skia .
but the performance still bad and this config changes on each restart.
i think google is doing something to obligate people to upgrade the phone

like Apple 2.0?

Seems like what Apple did.
I spoke with Google support, they said that after the latest update we need to wait few days till all the apps are sync and phone learn it.
Sounds bull****
Cuz of it i had to buy new phone.
Can't handle with this 1 today

I'll wait, I can't keep up with those google guys launching a new phone every other day. CustomRom should be an alternative.

good idea

Same here,
unplugged this morning at 6am, now at 11am its down to 35%. terrible.

There does appear to be a problem with OPM3 (Jan 2018). The first Oreo 8.1 (OPM1, Dec 2017) was much snappier.
One fix some have tried with OPM3 is to factory reset and reinstall. Personally, it's made things a little faster, but not (subjectively) as fast as OPM1.

how can we send an email to google for checking those issues?
this is really unacceptable .
cant do normal tasks with my phone. everything is laggy.
even factory reset didnt help as after few hours its causing problem again

If you're going you go through the effort of a factory reset you can always flash the Dec factory image if you feel that runs faster on your device.

i guess i will try to flash rooted version custom rom

after another Factory reset and also root the device
the phone start to function normally.
so far i didnt face any lag or slow performance.
will give it a few days .
btw everything was synced back to the device
apps photos etc

The only problem I have is battery life. The phone is more than one years old, Accubattery says my battery holds like 1900mah, but god help if I'm using 4G, then I get like 1 SoT.

I am also experiencing lag and battery drain.

This lag also issued with the Pixel devices too. It seems in the house of google the guys not really on the top. Perhaps too much cookie around the holidays.

My phone is freezing after 8.1 update any solutions

I'm glad it's not just me. I was on the beta still and I finally flashed the latest and it's been so laggy. I wish I would have stayed on the beta at this point.

I finally fixed the performance:
reapplied OTA via adb as suggested by an google mod on their forums. First cache wipe, then adb sideload.
https://productforums.google.com/d/msg/nexus/EPF4G9IKjhY/Mrxgkx01AAAJ

so how is the new feb update? still lag/slow?
i am still on 7.1.2 because all of this, can i now update?

Oneplus 5T suddenly lagging

Hi, so i've been using the Oneplus 5T for a year and just recently it started having issues with lag, making the phone unusable. I tried installing different roms without success(Oxygen OS Open Beta 23, Lineage OS 16, and Oxygen OS 5.1.4) and i have no idea what is causing it. This issue began while i was on the OOS beta 23 and it wasn't rooted, it just started behaving that way suddenly i didn't drop it or anything, also the screen blinks and start doing weird things sometimes. Did anyone had this issue? And what can be causing it? Thanks
Link to a video of my problem: https://youtu.be/17LOiftTf8w

Found the issue. Apparently it's caused by google play services, if i clear the data of the app the phone works fine and as soon as i install something from the store it starts lagging again

I always have this issue after finishing a clean setup on oxygen os beta. One restart for me solves and never returns.

If you find a solution please let me know i ran out of ideas my fix with the play services stopped working, thanks

What the hell is that lag issue seriously ??
I was thinking to flash a custom kernel and ROM but would it solve the issue ?
And the issue is completely random as well.

I have the exact same issue. Starts when i download something from playstore, open camera after a while or transfer big files e.g transferring data through oneplus switch. I have tried everything i could and didnt help. Upgrades, downgrades, root, trimming storage, clearing cache etc. Nothing is helping. If anyone finds a solution please tell me too. Really frustrated ?

The problem occured on official ROM but it comes back even on Lineage OS 16 (official too).
Do you think it could be a hardware issue ? If not, how come this problem happens even when flashing an other ROM ?

For me it lags all the time, the phone is unusuable. I can reboot, flash a new ROM ... nothing will solve it.
I had this problem for almost 3 weeks and no fix from Oneplus, so I will buy a new phone.

I had the same issue 2 months ago, I tried everything to fix the problem even did hard reset using oneplus' official program and it didn't work.
I came to a conclusion that it's a hardware issue so I sent my phone to repair and one week later I got my phone back fixed.
I recommend you to do the same if you still have warranty, the whole process took only one week. The customer service is really good.

Maybe try to reset your phone by using MsmDownloadTool, if that doesn't fix your problem then it must be a hardware issue.

The problem is that (not only i lost the warranty) but i'm not from the USA and sending them the phone is kind of hard and expensive, to the point that i think buying a new phone is cheaper. I reached to support anyways but i'm still waiting for a response after 3 days. What did they change on your phone?

I don't know what did they replace I didn't get any information about that. The screen is the same though they didn't change it, my guesses are either it's the motherboard or the motherboard to screen connector (it's called main flex I think, you can get on for about 3$)

Question Having system and camera lag very much

Hey guys i am having very much lagging problem in my phone. After my current miui virsion is miui 13.0.3.0 stable version.. can i claim warranty on this problem!!? I have bought my phone recently. Thnx in advance.

Hello,
If the phone has defects, the warranty should be taken into account. On the other hand, if the phone works well, especially the hardware, I think that sending it under warranty is not necessarily the right solution. Have you reset your phone since installing your update to MIUI 13?
Bill

i'm having the same problem, i see that very often the system start to lag when it have about 1GB of free ram. Then the camera slow down and the launcher sometimes crash. Closing all the app frees only some 100s MB, the only way is reboot the phone. I'm thinking about moving to xiaomi.eu rom

Definitely warranty. It's a phone. It has electronics inside. Just RMA the phone.
Mine does not have any lag, freeze, issue. It's the most stable, long-lasting phone I ever used.
The only "issue" I ever saw/had is the lack of OIS on the camera, but that's 100% hardware. Xiaomi loves saving pennies on camera all the time. (See Xiaomi 11T Pro)
Ps.: I've tried stock, Xiaomi EU Stable and Weekly; all with ram boost enabled and disabled. No lag whatsoever.

No lag even after 3/4 days without rebooting?

In a German forum someone could solve this problem by turning off that 2 GB memory extension in settings (turning it off is a good idea anyway).

When I saw that option turned on I disabled it immediately. No luck, still lagging

Some users on 4pda reported similar problems.
The solution - do not use custom themes, only pre-installed.
Classic/Boundless.
Proof link
Deepl.com translate:
"Can be happy with the phone today, holds 86% by the end of the day, nothing hangs and camera instantly on. Delete all the themes except for two "Classic" and "Boundless". I have Boundless, the phone does not recognize, but the other day I already wanted to throw it away for his stupidity. To understand - I have a phone so consumed the charge that the car when the navigator mode, he discharged even with the charging cord, and if you turn on the camera while the navigator, you have to wait for about 15 seconds. In short, I just realized for myself - it's crooked theme it so stupid!"

Mine works better after a full reset. I didn't reinstalled all the apps yet. I do it one after one when needed to see if the problem comes from a specific app...
Until now all is OK, camera is working fine too.

I totally agree.

I had the same problem. What I did is reset the camera app settings and set it to autostart(saw it in a video) which fixed camera lag issue to some extent. Also there is an option to schedule shutting down of device, so I scheduled it to turn off and turn on in a couple of minutes just before my alarm goes off in the morning. The phone runs smooth like butter throughout the day!
