:o Thanks, you're right. It just looks broken, I assumed it was.
[OnePlus 3 Accessories] Pontoon:
I'm in the market for a new phone. I've been checking out the samsung s7, but I still really prefer the oneplus 3. The thing that's now really pulling me towards the s7 is the buttons!

I'm still missing my keyboard from when O2 stole my only slightly broken desire z and sent me a shiney HTC one, and that was about 3.5 years ago.

I saw [IMG="this"]http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/mobile-devices/smartphones/galaxy-s/galaxy-s7/accessories/images/galaxy-s7_accessories_keyboard.jpg[/IMG] which is the snap on keyboard cover for the s7, and it got me thinking that there may be other products which might work for the oneplus 3 ... and I will have my final wee bit of argument for buying a new oneplus 3.

Anyone seen anything like this? or even a bluetooth version of some form. Any suggestions welcome.

NB I just don't like touchscreen typing. I used to be a text fiend now I avoid txt at all costs.

Plug in a cheap OTG cable, get your keyboard of preference and comfortably break the record of words per minute like a champ!

Meant it as a joke but i actually do this frequently :)
[OnePlus 3 Accessories] Pontoon:
Thanks guys.

Trying to work out if having a separate keyboard is going to be a pain. Think it's the snap on part that I really like. Having a separate one is likely no to get used much. I like being able to type on the move and I think the separate keyboard would cause too much juggling.

I mean hey, anything is possible right? XD View attachment 3850705
[OnePlus 3 Accessories] Pontoon:
lol

That may defeat the purpose of a "mobile" phone :D

Yeah I've actually got a BT keyboard at home which I use occasionally with my pad, and have used it a couple of times with the phone. I was just hoping there was smaller easier options.

I'm trying to convince myself I don't want to turn to samsung ... as my other half is a brand whore who will only buy samsung.

On my S7 g930f the LED color is not white as it should be but kind of purple.

Yellow is a bit orange and green.

Blue, red and green are oke.

is this some faulty hardware in the S7?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Ha3ks:
Not heard of any issues like this before, though it could be because its shooting through the glass of the screen itself.

Have you tested any playstore 'notification changer' apps to see if they are any better? could be SW issue?

Seems like an hardware problem.

With white you can cleary see the three led's where blue has the upper hand turning the light purple.

I have exactly the same issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] ultimateopportunist:
Gold version? I think it's normal.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Tomiie:
I never had a pure white light from the phones, S4 to S7. I thought it was normal since they were merely combining other LEDs to create the white colour.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] clonk:
I've never seen a truly white LED either. Every S7 I've used upon which the white LED color was selected has looked more like a pale violet to me. I have an old motorola atrix here and for curiosity sake I've just checked its version of a white LED... it as well produces a pale shade of violet that's supposed to pass for white. So I'd say it's typical.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] mauricewal:
The S5 is almost pure white.

S6 is worse then S5 but way better then S7.

I did saw that light flow had an better white than WhatsApp white (which I use for white led)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] MrDusan:
Viber also has white color for notifications, and mine is pink, I use magenta for whatsapp, so I never know whether it's whatsapp or viber. That's how pink my white is!

But when it's only green, it glows ok. I think the problem is that the diode isn't centered well under the hole. I can see that my green diode is too much on the right side, I can see it glowing under the front panel paint.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] mauricewal:
Well that maybe correct.

When i look closely at the front camera that one isn't centered exactly in the middle of the hole!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] clonk:
I've found the same thing regarding the alignment status of the S7's front camera lenses. I've had a total of eight S7 phones in my possession and most of them had a significantly obvious misalignment of the front camera lens relevant to the position of its round port opening. The notification LED seems to suffer from this affliction as well to some degree. Out of the seven S7's I temporarily possessed prior to the one I currently have, only two of them had what I consider to be aesthetically pleasing front camera lens alignment - the one I have now is actually a bit off, but I've accepted it. And as I stated previously, every S7 upon which I tried the white LED (with both LightFlow and/or Light Manager, or simply from the notification provisions of individual apps) showed the pale violet color upon illumination. I thus think that Samsung may need to improve their quality control to some extent. I consider the alignment of components within an expensive device like an S7 to be a fairly important priority.
[Alcatel Idol 4S Questions & Answers] Mountainmohawk:
So I was just curious if there were any devs who were trying to crack this device and get some open development on this.

If there is, and you need us who have the phone in our hands to help, let us know!
[Alcatel Idol 4S Questions & Answers] hello00:
none of them as far as i know
[Alcatel Idol 4S Questions & Answers] Mrblunt92:
I haven't seen anything on the internet about this device or development that sucks I wish there was root available for this device and developers support hopefully someone comes out with something soon maybe is because some developers don't even have the device that's why they don't come out with anything yet or maybe it will stay that way :/
[Alcatel Idol 4S Questions & Answers] Mountainmohawk:
I have some hope. I mean the Idol 3 got rooted and custom ROMs after all.
[Alcatel Idol 4S Questions & Answers] atrain2324:
I think we might have to wait till probably early next year. Android 7.0 is about a month away, I think devs may wait till 7.0 is out there for the Idol 4S before they'd go tinkering.
[Alcatel Idol 4S Questions & Answers] hello00:
we wont be getting 7.0 until the end of 2017..it is sad to say that there are already developers working on root for the note 7, and the phone hasnt even been in the market for more than a week
[Alcatel Idol 4S Questions & Answers] Mrblunt92:
Sucks there is no developers working on this device , we need root , two or cwm , roms that's the only way to get maybe to get Android 7 earlier hopefully some developer takes action for us that would be awesome

[Alcatel Idol 4S Questions & Answers] atrain2324:
That's the way on carrier-branded handsets (unless you got HTC) I think. It's missing the whole part about the bootloader unlock part. While Marshmallow has an OEM Unlock switch, it's useless if the manufacturer won't release it (yet?).
[Alcatel Idol 4S Questions & Answers] deaniebaby:
Yeah seemed too good to be true haha. Guess we'll just keep waiting then.
[Alcatel Idol 4S Questions & Answers] mcarden2006:
I was just curious if anyone has an idea about root for the idol 4? I remember reading about the idol 3 and all I used was the Alcatel idol upgrade tool, flashed back to 5.1, rooted with recovery and installed stock rim zip. Is this a possibility to bypass the latest 6.0 bootloader? When I did the idol 3 I never had to unlock bootloader for root and custom Roms.
[Alcatel Idol 4S Questions & Answers] celoxocis:
Weren't fastboot binarys removed?

If yes there will probably never be a chance to see custom ROMs for this device.

y

I so want this device to be rooted.. What are your opinions on this device with root? Will it be beast?
[Alcatel Idol 4S Questions & Answers] mcarden2006:
Fast boot was removed even with idol 3 but devs are developing. Only thing I noticed is with Alcatel idol 3 you were able to install 5.1, root, and install zip update through twrp. I'm trying to find 5.1 for this phone so I can do the same. I did however find some rooting links from others working on the possibilities.

---------- Post added at 10:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 PM ----------

Honestly the only thing I ever do is root because the coolest software is for rooted phones.
[Alcatel Idol 4S Questions & Answers] .r0man:
I wouldn't consider myself a dev, but more of a tinkerer. Once I get my post count up, i'll be compiling some information i've collected about the device / similar devices. Hopefully we can get this ball rolling.
[Alcatel Idol 4S Questions & Answers] celoxocis:
I think that only worked because the 3S had initially fastboot commands and those were later removed to "secure the phone" (big BS if u ask me).

But don't quote me on that. I don't own the device I had only looked into it its "fastboot command returning method" half a year ago because Oppo (my phones brand) had done the same thing with its fastboot commands. I was building up that method when I crossed the mind of a genius Interpreter hacker who was faster and used a way better method. I can't elaborate on the method used but he would be the only one I know, who could do something about the fastboot commands returning to the 4S.

I can't reveal his name because I promised not to but I could send him the "aboot" partition which contains the Little Kernel and let him check if he would be able to.

That is however only possible if someone could gain root access to the 4S and "DD" the aboot partition.

On a side note. Does Alcatel release kernel sources?
[Alcatel Idol 4S Questions & Answers] hello00:
i think we have to make a custom kernel for root
[Alcatel Idol 4S Questions & Answers] deaniebaby:
Under developer options, the OEM can be unlocked (thus the boot loader). So it seems like Alcatel intended to allow devs to tweak with the phone. But at this point, it isn't much to go on.
[Alcatel Idol 4S Questions & Answers] celoxocis:
That option does literally nothing for unlocking the bootloader without fastboot.

If fastboot binarys were available it would just set a permission flag to allow "fastboot OEM unlock".

Alcatel removed the fastboot binarys intentionally to prevent users from rooting/flashing custom ROMs/ getting rid of crappy pre-installed vendor apps that only are their to use their services because they profit from data-mining.

The oem unlock toggle is included in all android google code. The vendors just don't bother to remove it. They simply remove the fastboot binarys.
[Alcatel Idol 4S Questions & Answers] Mrblunt92:
Contacted alcatel support telling them to release a bootloader unlock or to release kernel source and fastboot binaries their answer is not clear since they didn't answer everything i asked but maybe we have some hope i did this for us who own the idol 4s and wants this thing rooted and developed support we should all email alcatel support and ask for a release tool to unlock bootloader https://photos.google.com/u/1/photo/AF1QipNi-GuS-c9DhHSqB-y0CQPwQdDPQETpvLd-rvV5

First of all, thanks to [MENTION=3867776]xtermmin[/MENTION] for pointing me in the right direction for this.

Steps to increase touch sensitivity and get DTTW functioning better:

Download Shortcut Master Lite

Hit the ellipsis at the top right and click App Explorer (Yes to the error)

Tap anywhere to get the loading circle to go away and find something called Force Touch

In the Force Touch menu, select ZteLCDPressureSettings and hit Launch

Here you will find some options.

Tap Pressure Sensitivity and move the red dot slider all the way to the left where the green "Light" is.

Back out of the menu and you are done.

There are some other things under features that may be of interest as well to some people.

Additionally, there are a couple other items in the Force Touch menu that could play a role in ROMs down the line. The "Press Image" option has a toggle within that item but it does not stick upon backing out and reentering the menu.

If you find anything else of interest, please let everyone know so we can make this the best phone we've ever owned.

Thanks!

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] thegendler:
This definitely helped! Kinda odd that there is a slight delay from when you double tap and when it actually wakes. I remember the LG G2 responding more quickly with this feature. Also miss the double tap to lock screen too that almost no other phone had (though with nova launcher and an app, you can do this). Regardless, I'm glad the functionality is there.

What's interesting about this little hack is that it clearly is using the force touch settings that will be found in the 6GB RAM model that has a force touch display. Funny how it remains in the ROM anyway, just tucked away since this model doesn't use force touch.

Something get wrong with upgrade in your case.

Don't have vibration with double tap.

How did you get it
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] rczrider:
It's there by default on the US model, at least.

While this definitely improves DT2W functionality, it's still temperamental. I find that now it responds best to very light touches, but harder taps are ignored. If I tweak it to be less sensitive, it does exactly that: it requires a harder touch at all times. Why can't it just respond to a range of touches? My G3 worked just fine in this regard.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] xgerryx:
Totally agree with this. It's still very inconsistent, but mine does work if I slam it twice as well as tap it lightly twice. It doesnt always work and it's still delayed. This was sort of a bandaid for a bigger problem though. I hope CM, and ....probably nothing else? at this point...can address it further.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
At EU version I don't see any option for vibration so far.

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] rczrider:
Quite honestly, the Axon 7's story is perpetually: "[insert company here] did a better job of implementing [insert feature here]". There is very little (if anything) that the Axon 7 does better than the big manufacturers, IMO. It does a passable (sometimes even decent) job of most things, though - and at an appreciable discount - which is why I still have mine. It's a budget flagship. It's high-trim Toyota versus a Lexus. Add to that the potential for improvements via software (which is the source of many of my complaints, really), and I think it's a solid buy with quirks I'm willing to live with for a little while as ZTE steps up and makes improvements.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
Yep exactly from hardware point is very very capable device but from software although it's pretty good level but there's still staff for many improvements.

Axon 7 is my first Chinese smartphone from Chinese company until now and I'm quite pleased with the all package offering having it 5-6 days,but I would like to see from ZTE much more effort and listening the user base and bring as much improvement and tweaks to the software.

Related to this topic, I was wondering if anyone knew how the vibration on the DTTW is controlled? I know there is no option to turn it off, but is there anything in build.prop or otherwise to disable that? Kernel settings maybe?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] celoxocis:
Here is something to test for the users applying this "workaround". I found this one app in the play store that's named "Touchscreen repair".

I don't believe it does actually anything to your device it if would, it would need to have root access.

Nevertheless its usefulness is in finding out the input latency. Look at attached screenshot.

Keep in mind I closed all apps and rebooted the phone for most accurate measurement.

I did it later on with countless apps open and running for a few hours and the input lag was around 100ms.

I believe it is due to the crappy Mifavor and whatever it does to screw up the response in touch sensitivity/input lag.

I have run the same measures on my other phone on a ROM I ported and build. (Cyanogen Mod) it stays consistent at 42-45ms input lag.

Could anyone running a test build of unjustified dev use that app and report back the measurements?

I can't as I'm returning this phone (A2017G) today for an A2017U.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
Wow almost 100ms response time is unforgivable.

I'm really socked I never remember smartphone had last year having such high level.

Total unacceptable and ZTE should improve.

I did the test and having better value from you.

The highest level was 80 and all other value was between 40-60.

So it's kind of little above normal not any dramatic value.

After completed the test my response time reduced by 7ms
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] celoxocis:

B05 A2017G
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] celoxocis:
Same here. I just tried to disable smart power and run the test again. Almost the same values. Only one value was 56ms. I hope my A2017U will be better.

And yes I have applied that workaround from the opening thread. My guess is the Axon 7 line uses different batches and quality in digitizers. It can't be only an software issue.
