I'm on Flyme 6.3.0.0G and do have some lagging screen issue every now and then, as for battery ... I only have to put it on charge once every three days. Though I tried install Google Keep which cause the whole phone to not responding, left it idle and battery went down like I was using it intensively the whole time so Keep was uninstalled, I'm back on my routine a-three-day charging (from 5% to 90%). Unless it was a rainy week I have to charge phone more often sometimes almost once every day not sure why but I know it's something to do with WiFi because when I turn off Wifi overnight I didn't have that draining issue.

What I notice since 6.3 upgrade, I have to calibre the phone quite often, once every five weeks or so to get back button/finger scan working. And Lock screen often give no respond (like grey screen or sometimes black as though the phone was off) especially when I try to get straight into my mail app. But after waiting for ten minutes and try again it was back to normal. 

I am trying to get OTG for USB storage working, so far no luck or maybe my thumb drive is too large or the phone doesn't support OTG -- but there are some Youtube videos that suggest it works but maybe Indian Flyme is different.

Oh I receive an update notification just now, "bug fix" so hopefully some of these draining bugs get fixed. I guess wait and see.

It popped up from when I go into Flyme OS screen, System Apps update it seems. I don't have Flyme account by the way.

Had my (Flyme 6.2.00G) Meizu 2 years now, like it, generally been user friendly. Battery last for ages. No problem with Google play etc. I'm not technically minded but can get by...6.3 sounds not so good I don't want it!surprised

Not sure if this is the correct place for this but help needed please.

 

I have a Meizu M2 which still works well. Can anyone tell me how to move apps to the SD card please as I keep getting critically low on storage messages. Saving for a new phone. Lusting after pie, but it will be Oreo I think!
