A2017G B02 Update Released!

http://www.ztedevice.com/support/detail?Id={E68B5101-20E9-4955-A8D6-FFF274776F46}

Mirror download:

http://uploaded.net/file/npj4c0fj

2GB File, Installation time <10Mins + Optimisation of Apps

(Installation Guide provided in zip)

But basically extract and move the update.zip to root directory of SDcard and run the update tool from the phone and it should find an update :)

Those who have installed help keep this page updated with the differences noticed :)

Whats been noticed:

> Lockscreen Image Bug Fixed (Needs reboot when image set)

> Video/Audio Sync Bug Sort of Fixed - Video/Audio seems in sync when using headset and WiFi, without still a delay. Also without wifi so using data there is delay no matter what. --- Scratch that, i was watching a dodgy video i think! Looks fixed!!!

> New "Headset Hi-Fi" setting in "Sounds and Vibration." You may switch between "Standard" and "Super" and play a demo to see the difference.

> The mobile signal bar no longer says 3G/4G when it is not being used. Just a signal bar now.

> When charging the phone the Notification LED doesnt blink red anymore. Stays on continuous even when using the phone while charging. Always red light.

> Social Media videos skipping when music on in background and viewing the video. Then when going back to the music app the music stops playing while the song is continuing. >>>> This still occurs.

> Android Pay still unavailable.

> July Android Security Patch

> When switching between apps, the clear all button no longer says how much RAM is being used.

Root without unlocked bootloader

http://xdaforums.com/axon-7/development/wip-axon-7-root-bootloader-unlokced-t3441204

Contacted my ZTE source about the bugs still being there. It seems quite clear that it is software bugs and really does seem like they are working on it so i suggest dont return your phones, just be patient for more software updates :)

Update - 30/08/16 News from ZTE

> The next update will fix the Video Audio issue.

> Social Media issue.

> Camera will have added 60fps recording option after chats with the USA team.

> Android Pay

Coming soon. End of this week/Next week should be by OTA.

If anyone notices anything still not working please post here and i will send the ZTE team an email and keep this topic updated.

Feel free to post any differences if you install before me!

B20 is for the US Version. We just got B02 (A2017G)
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] rczrider:
The OP mentioned "B02", not "B20". Typo?

Anyway, the B20 for the US version was only ~80MB. The OP reports 2GB for this one. Sounds like the difference between a standard OTA update and full image. Not sure why they'd do a full image update, but some companies have/do.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] djona12:
It's specifically for the European version. A2017G is the model sold in Europe.

Any information about the bootloader for the European model with this update?

Is the launcher still without an app drawer?

From emailing the VIP support, it seems like this fixes many of the known bugs hence the big update size. Be happy guys we are getting somewhere atleast!
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] BritSwedeGuy:
I'm just happy they're giving us anything at all, from ZTE's total lack of interaction I was worried the UK/EU Axon 7 was going to become a white elephant; and getting the July security patch is a big relief.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] rikin93:
Apparently from chatting to them, this was a pre-release to their official release...It seems like when the grey version comes out it will be their official release along with heavy promotion and support. Lets hope this is true! Atleast we got an update now!
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
The double tap to sleep does it work also from lock screen as LG/HTC device or just from home screen like Sony?

Even with third party home screen replacement like Nova or 3D next launcher.

There is just double tap to wake. If you want double tap to lock screen you need Nova launcher or similar. But even then it does not work from lockscreen afaik.

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] TeutonJon78:
[MENTION=6699128]rczrider[/MENTION] -- yes, these are the full update images (i.e., factory images). It only checks for product model, not build version. So it can be used to restore a device back to this exact build since it includes the entire partition images instead of the just the patch updates. The only question would be if it includes EVERY partition, since I haven't had enough time in front of one yet to check that.

So, the A2017 has full builds available for B04-B07. The A2017G has full builds available for B02. The A2017U has only an OTA patch for B20.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] rikin93:
The Europe version still requires a lot of work, hopefully a better fix next time.

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
So let's be clear.

Can we used this image file to restore to his factory setting if we wish that for any kind of reason.

Correct or no??

And we do that by moving the image to micro sd and from there doing the factory reset by recovery option menu.

Correct or no??

I wish there was a tool through PC just like Xperia Companion on Sony device or Smart Switch on Samsung

Thanks. But i should realize that. didn't looked in the zip rofl

ok, update is done now. i wonder, if some Problems are solved. in EU Version there was two Major Problems:

- Video lagging (i realized this only on Facebook at the Moment)

- Mic-Off while Callinig

Video lagging is still a Problem. Video (on Facebook as example) Plays for about 5 seconds (with lags) and then jumps to end. No Workaround known from me.

Mic-Off Problem isn't solved. Still got the Problem. Workaround: Make on the Speaker, make of the Speaker. Now Mic is on.

thanks for Keep us up to date mate!

I've not yet received the update - it says not available. Axon 7 (A2017G) bought from Amazon UK.

Is anyone else in the same boat? Is it just because I am abroad in France at the moment?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] djona12:
I think you need wifi to download it. Being in France doesn't change a thing.

If you got wifi access, then it's definitly not normal that you haven't got the update yet...
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] apd:
Thanks. That's odd - I just connected to the hotel WiFi and it said no update was available. The WiFi is definitely working as my iPhone is currently downloading the latest iOS 10 beta!

I'll try again later.....

How bizarre. I don't really want to have to download 2gb for an update!

Has anyone with the UK version received he update via the system software rather than downloading it manually?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] CikiT:
Still bad sync on youtube :/
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gachmuret:
It won't be any less through OTA, 2gbs update is 2gbs, wherever you download it... And this is pretty normal for a full software update and happens with major brands like Samsung, LG and others also
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] apd:
Noted. But I would still like to know if anyone with the UK version has actually received the update. If not, there may be a reason for this
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] BritSwedeGuy:
I'm not sure this is ever going out OTA, it seems just like a beta to me, it's worrying that they're so behind the USA, just how much work can there be to do?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] apd:
I agree. I've emailed ZTE to see if I can get an answer
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
ZTE should have released identical software version on both US and EU version.

What kind of ridiculous policy is that with that discrimination.

Since there's no mobile carrier involved with this device,that would have been easy and for them.

Why ZTE do so complicated as there wasn't any kind of reason to do that and make like they done at the end.

Seems Common logic missing from Chinese.

When updates can sometimes contain a baseband update and since different markets have different basebands, trying to keep a set of arbitrary numbers in sync from one market to the next is just a needless complication.

ZTE Axon 7 A2017G OpenMobile Api

Anybody successfully enabled Mobile Payment?

I'm on A2017G with the B02 Rom.

If i put my NFC enabled Simcard to the 2. Slot - the app says -> there is no NFC Simcard

If i put it into the first slot, the app says that there is a problem with the OpenMobile API - and i should check if the Sim is NFC enabled and i should also check if the OpenMobile API is a recent Version ( no hint WHICH version)

Can anybody find out which OpenMobile API we got in A2017G with B02?

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] sonypsx:
May i suggest a small improvement which could be useful;)

The following situation:

.) You have 2 sim cards

.) Sim 1 is our main sim card (e.g. company simcard)

.) Sim 2 is our private sim card (e.g. private number)

.) Someone calls you on sim2 but you miss the call for some reason

.) Coming back to the phone - see the missing call - yeah what you do - press the missing call to phone back

.) Next something weird happen: The call you initiated will now use Sim1 -> voila your company number which you do not want to share is exposed

Some thoughts about it:

.) yes i know you can choose whole holding that missing call entry for a while and there is an option to call via Sim2 -> everytime think twice before call back someone :confused:

.) Yes i'm aware to check that option "ask always which sim to use" -> This option is nice but do not work if you are in the car and work via BT hands free :eek:

Some sort of option like "Always call back on the Sim that have the missed call" would be nice ;)

Small Improvement suggestion #2

Again for the dual sim users ...

The following situation:

.) You have 2 sim cards

.) Sim 1 is our main sim card (e.g. company simcard)

.) Sim 2 is our private sim card (e.g. private number)

.) Have a lot of contacts in your Google account(s)

Everytime you want to call/sms someone on SIM2 you have to long press that contact.

I think many of us did bought that dual sim option because they want to get rid of running around with two phones.

So i could think of that many of them (including me) had two different google accounts. So also the contacts (company and private) are correctly splitted. Now with just one Phone they are mixed up.

So again... everytime think before you dail ;) or:

.) How about create an option to fix a contact to call out with a specfic number (SIM)?

.) Or to "bind" a google account to a specific sim - so a true split will occur? -> So in "Contacts" the small icon (Phone with a number) will became handy - to see which Number it will use if you just dail.

Best regards
