[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] kevinbakon:
Thanks!

I actually did see DT and immediately disabled it... I remember reading an article about DT a while back, but my old phone was rooted.... Now, with my new S7, I forgot all about it until I saw it installed... Sure enough, I had about half a dozen games and other garbage I'd never personally installed , on my phone... I'm going to delete the Inter Config apps now, especially after seeing those others installed without my permission. Still a little puzzled that I've found absolutely nothing on these apps on the web. Not even anyone else complaining or asking about them... Oh well, uninstalling and moving on with my life!
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Revontheus:
Hi All!

Currently having a problem choosing between tempered glass or the regular screen protector for the HTC 10. I've been checking out many brands for the tempered glass and most of them don't cover the whole screen due to the HTC 10's screen being slightly curved at the edges. Would it be better to just use a regular screen cover instead of tempered glass?

I've been using tempered glass because I read somewhere that it gives you the same experience as using the screen naked and doesn't affect the colors too much

Thanks in advance! :o
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] SacredDeviL666:
suggestion would be for a screen protector not tempered so it gives you full coverage... crystal clear screen protectors are there...

if you have phantomskinz available you could order from them too
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Revontheus:
Hi! I've been looking at this screen protector. Is it good enough :eek: I just don't want to use a screen protector that would ruin the color of the display like those matte screen covers

Thanks again :)

Hi everyone

Guys! I have Gfive G9 President(Mt6589) I root my device and install Cwm recovery in it by following http://ponpa.weebly.com/root-gfive-president-g9-ultimate-guide--cwm--back-up.html this site. It all goes great and finally I have cwm recovery phone, i want to install custom ROM in it because its GPS was not working and when I connect to WiFi it start downloading unwanted app oror adult apps(kind off virus).. So I add a custom rom Aosap 4.4.4 from needrom.com by Naveed, but there was no network signal, but when I go back to my backup my sim start working with no problem but I can't stay on my stock ROM because of the virus and gps so i search many forum but didn't find anything so I download another ROM from the same person and site but when I install it just like I should do it it gives me error 7 in recovery, so search that on YouTube and found a way to solve it by adding twrp recovery but when I follow the guide it flash wrong recovery into my device and now even in my backup I don't have any network signal. Probably it would be my fault not the one who guided. So

I have no network signal

Baseband unknown

Invalid imei

Radio is off(device info)

Gps still not fix, gps searching always :'(...

I even try to restore nvram backup(which i make at the start when everything working) but it gives .tar file error dont know why, and I have also try to add imei from the back of my cover but still not fix and even use mtk engineering app to add imei but failed. Please help guys you are my last hope

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] QAM:
Hallo

So we up north are many times over seen and handled by many OEMs as a subsidiary of the US. There are pro's and con's to this scenario. With ZTE Canada regarding the Axon 7, I have gathered the following:

1. As of mid-August 2016, only Newegg Canada is the sole legal distributor of the Axon 7.

Comment: Not too bad but it would have been nice to get Amazon.ca and BestBuy.ca included. Amazon.ca has really good return policy.

2. We're stuck with the Passport 1.0 warranty package as opposed to the Passport 2.0 package that is setup for the US. Currently this is what is listed for this Passport 1.0 warranty:

30-day risk-free trial

Full two-year product warranty

Free Premium Protection to cover repairs out of warranty

Free advanced exchanges of devices

Free two-way shipping

Support for new Android updates when made available

Comment: Not sure how good or bad this is in real life. I hope others who have bought the Axon Pro in Canada can share their experiences.

3. General after sale support? I don't even know if ZTE Canada have local support or if we get passed to US support. If for example, I want to invoke the Passport warranty, do I deal with a local person or US?

4. Delivery of device? I ordered my Gray on July 27th, just got a shipping email from Newegg.ca literally 3 mins ago declaring that the device is shipping out of NJ, but do delivery time not showing up as yet.

Hopefully we can share our experiences especially with regards to after sale support.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] TeutonJon78:
Have any of the Canadians seen if you're getting the US model or the G (international) model?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] QAM:
Hi

From what others have said:

1. Canada is getting the US model.

2. All deliveries are sourced from the US, even with US packaging, hence there was some initial confusion as to what warranty we'll be getting (Passport v2 - that was in the received box vs Passport v1 that we Canadian are really 'entitled' to).
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] QAM:
Hi

So I noticed that many of us are posting and updating a our experiences on other boards, I prefer XDA as its where we'll be getting the best community support going forward for us geeky types.

As a heads up:

1. There is an active thread at ZTE USA forums.

2. Redflags forum have some us posting there.

3. I heard of a sub-Reddit thread but was until to locate it.

So far my Purolator delivery is stuck on shipping label created status since last afternoon with no recent updates. Others have said that they have seen their Purolator status updated showing customs clearance.

I read that someone had received a package from Newegg.ca (out of NJ) that took 6 days to be delivered in Toronto! Unbelievable that we have a courier service that can't provide decently prompt services.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Boswell20:
Don't track your package through the Purolator site. Try tracking it with the link in the tracking email Newegg sent you. When I track my package through the Purolator site I get absolutely nothing. With the link in the email, I get details as to where my package is. It's supposed to be delivered tomorrow in Toronto. Not sure if this will be the same for you
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Oogar:
Received mine around 3pm today. Can confirm it is the US model. Happy to answer any other questions you might have :)
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] An Droid:
Mine showed "shipping label created" for a day as well - rest assured, it's likely in transit and you'll see a more accurate update once it crosses the border.

Mine now shows it's arrived at the Toronto sort facility and should be delivered later today (Aug. 18). :D

Would you recommend it now or I should wait ?

Hi guys, thinking of upgrading from my lg g3 for the axon 7 here in Canada due to the sensors drift in vr apps and the good old overheat problem when doing cpu intensive tasks. Should I wait before buying it to see or you would recommend it even in the current software state ?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mistamikel:
I'm in Calgary and have had my Axon 7 for a week or so now.

So far I'm happy, there are a couple of things that are weird (that damn notification bell is a pain) . Lack of themes ( I like to change the look of my device a lot).

The camera is better than what I expected, the audio (both front facing speakers and using headphones) is killer good (I got the Monster N-pulse free with my pre-order and they are by far the best headphones I've used ).

The build is top notch, feels great in the hand and solid.

Battery is great (on Wind Mobile) I get around 5ish hours.

The screen is great, works and looks great with a vr headset (I had a cheap one form eBay but Walmart started selling ones with a Bluetooth remote for $30 and its quite good)

Overall I'd give it a sold 8/10

Price is great for a factory unlocked phone without contract.

And just for reference, this is my 12th phone this year lol. Some include Nexus 6p, iPhone 6s, Samsung S7, OnePlus2, LG G4 and others .

Give it a couple months for customs Roms and this could be a real true "Flagship Killer"
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Boswell20:
How do you compare it with the Nexus 6p? In other words, do you think it's worth getting rid of my 6p for the axon 7? I'm really liking the sound of the audio quality of the axon but LOVE the pure stock and camera of my 6p.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mistamikel:
A question like this is always subjective to the person and their preferences.

Now to me, I loved stock Android (still do)

But the 6p was too tall, too slippery and the build was pure garbage. After having the 6p for a week, I noticed a small bend, nothing too wild , but still a bend. Now I didn't have a case on it, but I never abused it, just kept it in my jeans pocket (no skinny jeans here lol).

I like the way the Axon feels in the hand better. As for sound, the Axon wins because of the Dolby Atmos, it just sounds better.

Now this can be fixed on the Nexus with Viper4Android, so it's moot lol.

If you can, hold onto the 6p, order an Axon and try it out for yourself. If you feel that the Axon is the way to go, sell the 6p. If you're not happy with the Axon, send it back for a refund (I think newegg.ca doesn't have a re-stocking fee)

Are you by chance on the Rogers network? I can't seem to connect to the network at all....im in Markham

I connect in SOME areas but it doesnt seem to stay on the network... signal strength is pretty bad too....Maybe I got a lemon? :(

Any ideas?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Boswell20:
Yeah you're right, my question is pretty subjective. Your answer helped a lot though, thanks. I already ordered and received the Axon. My issue is that I'm not positive if Newegg will honor giving me the refund if returned within the 30 days. Their standard policy which is what the phone is under conflicts with the 30 day return period. I'll have to give them a call. Thanks again
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mistamikel:
No prob.

As for Newegg.ca you could always claim the phone as defective and since they have no phones to exchange with.... :)
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] QAM:
Hola

I received my grey version 2 days ago... already rooted and loving the device. Coming from the S7 Edge, the transition was a little strange because I had got accustomed to holding the Edge differently because of the edge screen (given that I use a case).

So far no major issues other than the smaller software quirks that so many have listed. I use the provided TPU case until I can find a replacement case on Amazon.ca or ebay.ca. Nothing I saw fits what I like... like the typical Spigen Neo Hybrid series. Just wished it had wireless charging, so I am ordering a Uniqi receiver (which comes with USB type C dongle).

Made a number of calls in the Mississauga area, no issues with voice calls. No issues with LTE connectivity or Wi-Fi.

I can't speak for Rogers, I am using Koodo (they use Telus and Bell cellular network in Ontario) and so far all is well with me in West Mississauga. Open a thread in the Help forum here on XDA or the ZTE official USA forums to get device specific support from their USA moderation team.

Try invoking a network settings reset on the device and see if that helps at all.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mhum048:
Do you have to run the bootloader in order for it to work on the Canadian network?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] An Droid:
Got mine as well - still tinkering and setting up but happy with it so far (other than a few quirks and some of stock apps).

Anyone also seeing the back up account setting greyed out in the backup & restore settings?

Also, off-topic, but to those who received the headphones from NewEgg, can you confirm the audio cable is removable? The coiled cable on mine seems like it's firmly fixed...
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mistamikel:
If you're talking about the Monster headphones, the audio cord is removable as it comes un-attached in the box .
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] xtermmin:
Unlocking the bootloader has nothing to do with network compatibility. The A7 has all the bands used by Canadian carriers enabled by default.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] An Droid:
Interesting...my headphones came with a (somewhat long) coiled cable already attached that don't seem to be removable - there's a separate cable in the box with the microphone and controls...I've included a picture taken with my Axon 7..

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Itsmejayson:
I'm hesitating between the OP3 and the Axon 7 for a while now and can't seem to be able to make up my mind...

OP3 seems to be the safer pick with overall consistent reviews and performance.

Axon7 on the other hand, may have some better hardware (QHD screen, and the better audiochip that I value a lot), but the lack of developer support and ****ty OS means I'll probably be stuck with it forever.

Considering TWRP came out so quickly and hoping for the model to rich in popularity. What are you guy's prediction on the developer support's growth? Will we see a CM for Axon7 in the upcoming year?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] An Droid:
If anyone cares, looks like my "Free" headphones are likely refurbished ones.

The left speaker had a lower volume and would cut out intermittently until it died completely.

Figuring I could try for a replacement or warranty, but what was the point if I'd have to pay to ship out a "free gift".

Took them apart and confirmed that the cable on mine is indeed fixed (no jack for included cable to plug into). Re-soldered a bad wire and tidied up the wiring and it's working perfectly. Unfortunately, it means I don't have access to the microphone or controls (as the fixed cable doesn't have them) - but I do have a long cable...

Maybe I'll contact NewEgg or Monster anyhow to see how they respond...

To get back on topic, I'm quite happy with my Axon 7 after sorting through some of the quirks.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mistamikel:
That's messed up, I saw the pic you posted and yeah thats not right.

Contact Newegg and show them some pics and make a big fuss (as you should, cause I sure as **** would).

Contact Monster too and let them know of the situation and that Newegg is sending out refurbed product as "new" and slandering their name.

I too am on Rogers and having some significant low signal strength. No signal in basements throughout the city. I maintain 1-2 bars or roughly 119 dBm on average during the day. Have you had any progress improving it?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Snaptraks:
Hello everyone, I've been reading that Canada is getting the US variant of the phone, and I've also read here that only the US variant gets official bootloader unlock (am I right?). So I am wondering if anyone tried that, or had already unlocked their bootloader. So far the phone ticks all my checkboxes, and bootloader unlock is really the last one on the list.

Thank you for your time!
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] pookachee:
Just wondering since I'm on wind too; how's the signal and data speeds (even though its horrendous in the first place) compared to your previous devices? I'm afraid I won't get service since I barely get 1 or 2 bars normally in my house with my Nexus 5.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mistamikel:
I get a better signal than the OnePlus 2 and S7 I had. Just as good as my Note 4 (which gave me the most bars)

It's funny about speeds, I will run a speed test and get a low result, but when actually using the device everything (data dependent) is super fast. Now part of it can be attributed to the processor, but when web pages are loading a **** ton faster than the iPhone 6s I was using (both in data from Wind) as well as anything data released.... Well I'm happy :)
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] cctbrkr:
Strange, i too am in calgary, on the rogers network. And side by side my oneplus 2 gets 10-20dBm better signal than my Axon 7.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mistamikel:
That could be because Rogers uses 2g for voice, where as Wind uses 3g for voice, so the OnePlus2 could get better signals on 2g vs 3g.

On a side note, damnit !! I want to have the only Axon7 in Calgary!!! Hahaha
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] cctbrkr:
Ive done substantial testing over LTE, 3G, and 2G and accross the board weaker signal on the Axon 7. Cant maintain voice calls and people complain they only catch ever second word. Ive done testing through Bell network and Telus, testing two seperate Axon 7's the decrease in signal is apparent over the Iphone 6, Oneplus One, and Oneplus 2. You must have gotten a good antenna batch? Hold on to that one!

A buddy of mine also has it and we both Love the phone but unless i start getting better signal reception im afraid you might just be the only one in calgary with it! Haha

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mistamikel:

Have you tried getting new sim cards ?

Older sims cards (especially ones that are a bit worn) seem to be problematic when it comes to getting a good signal.

It might be worth a try ??

I know after a while, because I'm pulling and pushing my sim in and out of phones, it'll get a bit scratched and worn and I can notice a drop in data performance.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] dannycalgary:
I ordered one for my wife's bday in Sept that should be shipping Sept 9th. Now I'm a bit concerned as I'm also in Calgary and we are on Publicmobile (Bell/Telus). She doesn't talk tooo much on the phone but she'll call her mom every so often and chat for a while.

I guess we can try it out and see how it goes. She just is sick of her Galaxy S5 haha
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] GryphonBR:
Sorry, buddy, I dunno where you've heard that older SIMs would have anything to do with signal reception. Aside from granting the user access to the network through authentication, a phone's SIM card nowadays has very little use (since I assume most people are keeping their contacts in the cloud one way or the other).

On to some other news: received Newegg's email that my phone is being packed. Yay!

Edit: forgot to mention that I've checked with Newegg and they

do

charge a 15% restock fee for, quoting their website, "Non-defective items that are returned opened and within the item's return policy period".

Also, I've posted some interesting information regarding the Passport program on this thread, and since this has raised a bunch of question - specially concerning bootloader unlocking -, I'd guess taking this part of the discussion there might be useful.

It is indeed refurbished. I have a sticker on my box saying: Refurbish 8/10 !

But I don't see any problem with the headphone.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jlomein:
Above is a photo of my Newegg free headphones. Circled in red is a white and yellow rectangular sticker that was partially peeled off before shipping. Is this the same sticker?

Seems shady if Newegg indeed peeled off a refurbished sticker to try and pass these off as "new" product.
