Potential reason for OneUI delay

[chxndan]

As we know, all the countries of round 2 got the OneUI beta over last 2 days including China leaving only India.

However, the version that they got the update of (ZRKL) (Pie Beta 2) seems to be having issues with VoLTE as reported by users on XDA. They did receive a hotfix later (ZRKN) but is uncertain if all issues regarding VoLTE have been fixed.

Given the usage of VoLTE in India due to Jio and the fact that it is the main source of calling, the update must have been postponed.
For other countries, VoLTE might not matter much as they could perhaps just switch to regular calling unlike us on Jio.

Therefore, this could be the reason why it's delayed. To capture bugs and make the update stable before releasing to us.

@kvl,

update to beta 2 (ZRKL), VoLTE will fly away until you manually reset APN or install hotfix

i am using the ZRKL version only. I dont see volte problems.

[billa1989]

See no problem

The reason for delay is they are adding and removing features. I have been using One UI since the UK release, I find unwanted apps and features still persist which we Indian users won't like.

Examples of unwanted apps and features? @billa1989

[billa1989]

Adding features that are useful (Country to Country it changes). For instance chinese variant has smart record (Remember Smart Capture screenshot). Whereas none of the other Exynos Variant has.

@chxdan: You can see the oreo version many duplicate apps preloaded.
