Upgrade Options

Known Constraints

• WiFi sleep policy set to "Always" (Android O limitation)
• GMS Restricted Mode is introduced in this release. Customers using Enable/Disable GMS apps may want to consult the settings types for App Manager, Power Manager and GMS Manager in Zebra's Tech Docs. Functionality originally in Enable/Disable GMS apps (App Manager) has been moved to GMS Restricted Mode (GMS Manager).
• "Get Status for all Wake-Up sources" is returning "Enabled" when all Wake-up sources are disabled
• "Feature not supported" staging error message comes after staging enable wake up source function via stagenow, even though operation is successful.
• Some devices operate at 320 dpi. This screen configuration results in the majority of the AOSP applications displaying content consistently in both portrait and landscape modes. In most cases if the application layout is not optimal in landscape it is optimal in portrait or vice versa. However there are a few applications that do not render properly in either portrait or landscape. In this case the suggested alternative is to change the display size using the bundled Display Settings APK or use settings menu to change the display size and font size (settings Display Advanced settings Display Size / Font Size).
