You have to enable media audio. Go into Bluetooth settings, click the settings symbol next to your device, and turn "media audio" on. If it won't switch on, make sure other paired Bluetooth devices have "media audio" switched off. Then unpair your car, repair it, and it should start right up.

Just don't hold the bottom of your phone or use a magnetic car mount low on the phone. It will disrupt the Bluetooth signal and cut in and out.

---------- Post added at 08:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:28 PM ----------

After a lot of trial and error, I believe this is a hardware issue. If I obstruct the bottom of the phone (holding in hand, using a car mount on the bottom, putting in your pocket with the screen facing out, thick case, etc), the Bluetooth skips and drops out. When I don't obstruct the bottom, I have no issues.

I'm wondering if Samsung moved the Bluetooth module to make room for the iris scanner, larger battery, and sd slot and didn't put it through real world testing. Kinda like when Apple moved their antenna to the side and people's calls dropped if they gripped their phone the wrong way. It would be an epic failure if this is the case.

Let's hope that is not the case...just thinking that this is permanent is enough to make me want to smash it.

Are any of you that got your phone on the first day that it came out thinking of exchanging it at least prior to your 14 days of having your phone because of the bluetooth issue?
[Sprint Note 7  Questions & Answers] LouRock:
My 14 days were up yesterday and I was seriously thinking about it but I'm gonna roll the dice and hope a future firmware/software update will solve the few issues plaguing this great device. The Bluetooth problem is definitely the biggest issue for me on this phone and I'm actually surprised that this thread only has 34 responses because everyone I know with this phone is literally going crazy with the Bluetooth problems..
[Sprint Note 7  Questions & Answers] maxima2k53:
This bluetooth issue is my main issue. I haven't had any other issues. I have been barely receiving the choppy Bluetooth for 24 hours but I do still get them sometimes. I have been using my cord headphones which makes me forget. The good thing is for the past day of driving, I have been listening to music and I haven't got the choppyness. My 14 days are until this Friday but I think I'll also wait for an update. I know technology is never perfect so screw it.
[Sprint Note 7  Questions & Answers] DarkManX4lf:
I got my replacement Note 7 from the recall and still have choppy Bluetooth audio.
[Sprint Note 7  Questions & Answers] fgr:
Strange how some have extreme problems, and some have none.

I have had zero issues with my original Note7 and the replacement one. I use it to play music from my SD card in my Ram truck with the uconnect system and my other car with a cheap aftermarket JVC stereo.

I also have some Bose Bluetooth speakers I stream Pandora through in my garage when I'm working out there.

Never had a single "skip". I wonder if it could be network related. In the garage I'm connected to my home wifi, and in the cars I don't need data since I'm playing from the sd card. Maybe they had different manufacturers of the Bluetooth associated hardware. Kind of like the exploding vs. non-exploding batteries.
[Sprint Note 7  Questions & Answers] hotspace:
I picked up my replacement device and before I added my Google account, I paired it with my truck and hit the road to drive home. I opened google music and added my account info and travelled around Omaha for about 1 hour and had no skips. I was stoked!! I got home, factory reset the device because I wanted Google to offer me the ability to restore all my Apps from google play. Got all my apps back on the phone and went out last night. I paired my device again, and hit the road. Turned on Google Play music and immediately had skips, drop-outs ... etc.

It's frustrating to think this, but I'm probably going to factory reset and add only the bare minimum with the apps to see when the skipping comes back. A serious A$$ pain.
[Sprint Note 7  Questions & Answers] jbadboy2007:
I had skipping in my car bt. I re paired and it went away
[Sprint Note 7  Questions & Answers] mnhertz26:
Did you have Bluetooth issues with your original Note 7?

Everyone I know has this problem. If you touch the bottom of your phone, it causes Bluetooth interference. It sounds like Samsung may have fixed this, but I fear they haven't. Sad that I might have to get rid of this phone.
[Sprint Note 7  Questions & Answers] LouRock:
How's your bluetooth doing nowadays, any cut outs or skips after you unpaired and repaired? The reason I ask is because I did the same thing but the problem always seems to return after a few hours of music streaming..

My wife has this issue with just a normal bluetooth headset & phone calls. She thinks she needs a new headset, and I don't want to have to tell her its the phone (early birthday/anniversary gift for her).
[Sprint Note 7  Questions & Answers] jbadboy2007:
It's fine now. Across multiple devices too
[Sprint Note 7  Questions & Answers] LouRock:
I finally got my Note 7 replacement yesterday and after setting it all up I find the Bluetooth issue even worse on this new replacement phone. It actually seems to skips/cut out even worst than the first one, so I'm officially done with the Note 7. I just got back from the Sprint store and returned the Note 7 for a full refund and brought home a new silver Galaxy S7 Edge. Good luck to you guys with the Bluetooth issues and hopefully a future update fixes this problem.

Guys, I sent a link of my youtube video to Samsung and asked for troubleshooting information.

Here's their reply:

I've not tried Safe Mode and I'm looking forward to giving this a trial run tonight. I'll post back. But, if anyone else can give it a shot, it would be appreciated.

Let us know your results.

---------- Post added at 12:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:35 AM ----------

I'm sitting here at my desk...Phone is paired with my Bose across the room....I'm in Safe Mode....and I'm not getting any skips. I'm trying to make it skip and I can't. So...this means I'm going to have to figure out which 3rd party app on the device is causing the problem. Great!! That'll be like hunting for the needle....

This first video shows Pandora skipping and speeding up while paired inside the vehicle.

I can firm this happens with Spotify as I use this on a daily basis. This never happened with my Note 4.
[Sprint Note 7  Questions & Answers] DarkManX4lf:
I tried my Note 7 in safemode and it still skips. If i place my palm on the bottom left front of the phone, it will skip in safemode.

Also I don't see how removing the Google account will help. I'll try clearing the Bluetooth share and see if that helps.
[XDA Assist] Rhymey:
I'd like to flash from MIUI8 to the official CyanogenMod release but I would like to avoid the hassle of reinstalling and setting everything up for the fifth time, but since it's MIUI>AOSP, a clean wipe is necessary.

Is there any way to preserve only installed app data/etc while flashing ROMs, or restore it once I'm on CM13?
[XDA Assist] :
Hello,

No there is no such way unless you use Titanium Backup or any similar backup and restore app.

How would I use Titanium Backup to do that? Do I need premium?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] sananth:
I just got my phone a couple of days ago, and seem to have some insane battery drain. I leave it on overnight and in the morning it seems to be down to about 10%.

Is anyone else seeing this sort of issue?

Here are some screenshots:
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] markwebb:
While the battery is OK but not stellar, I notice you have Wi-Fi on? Turning that off overnight helps immensely.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Shipmate:
I had a UK axon 7 A2017G that would only last 4 hours from full charge with everything switched off except mobile. In the end I had to return it to the supplier. Sadly they don't have any replacement phones. I received it on 29th July.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] markwebb:
My second unit arrives today so if battery is poor I have 30 days to return. That should be more than enough time to evaluate.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] sananth:
I have a Galaxy S4 running 6.0.1 from JDCTeam that gives me way better battery life with WiFi turned on all night, and runs way more apps than this phone (plus, the battery is just 1850mah). I suspect that there might be a lot more going on under the covers here with respect to hidden services. I am not happy with the fact that the battery usage stats are hidden.

Should I root and try to use betterbatterystats to figure out the real problem? or maybe just assume its defective and ask for a replacement?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] cho9736:
I think you need to turn this off too. Otherwise, it will keep searching for wifi even you turn the wifi off.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] dougm0:
I'm having no battery drain issues. I have the Grey one.

I have turned off mipop and voice print. Dunno if that could be the culprit.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Barsky:
Turning off Smart Power Save increased my battery life
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] tupirujp:
I have the same issue... 10 to 15 % drain over night other than that the phone it's amazing... When I got the phone before I even turn it on I got in recovery an did like 3 times a factory reset ... I'm gonna keep the phone for 2 more weeks if the drain continue I'm sending it back to newegg ?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] tele_jas:
No bad drain here, I only dropped 2% overnight (11pm -7am)....Wifi was on and I received several emails and a few text that were waiting when I woke up.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Rigby J:
yeah the battery was massively overrated pre-purchase
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] sananth:
Thanks dougm0 and Barsky ... I turned off Smart Power Save, MiPop and Voice Print. I also made sure that the location section was only using GPS (not wifi+bluetooth), and it all made a difference. I still feel like I can squeeze out a lot more performance here. My deep sleep numbers in better battery stats has improved, but it's still not where I want it to be. As I make more tweaks and get better battery life, I will post screenshots and settings tomorrow (maybe it might help someone else).
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Barsky:
Something I always notice that you might also want to take into account. When you get a new phone you are not using it as you will regularly be using it after the new period wears off. You are probably testing all the different aspect of the phone and just plain messing around in ways you do more of when the device is new. I always get horrible battery time in a new phone :)
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] mjoshi123:
No issue with battery drain - left my phone at 100% overnight with WIFI ON, in morning it was at 97%. I think I will take it as 3% drain over 8 hours.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] max1001:
You most likely have an app that's causing wake lock issues. It's a common problem on any phone.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] tolymatev:
My battery is amazing on this device.

I Don't mean to rub it in anyone's face that have these issues. Must be an app that's causing it.

Coming from Note 4 and Moto X Pure. This is twice better. I don't read screen on time on this device because it doesn't show it. I don't even need those stats. After 16 hours of the charger with same use I get home with 40%+.

My Note and X Pure were dead by then or have been connected to a charger by that time.

Hope y'all figure it out.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] paulthuong:
Battery life on my phone is not that great either. It's not horrible but I expected better. I think it drains 3% in 4 hours with wifi and sync on. I did turn off all the scanning and battery saving feature.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] paulthuong:
I recently noticed the battery on my phone was just 3140 mAh instead of 3250 mAh like on the website says it should for the US model. Can you please confirm what capacity your battery has?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] erasat:
It's 3250 for the US model, but there is an issue with the partition where it still shows the original 3140 mAh instead. It has been notified to ZTE and they said that it will be fixed in the next update.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] paulthuong:
ahhh gotcha. I almost wanted to return it if they lied to us. Thanks for the response buddy.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] thjoca3:
I've gotten better battery life from the US Grey variant then I ever did with the oneplus 2, I get about 36 hours off a charge with my normal usage. OP2 I'd be lucky to make it to bed time.

Where is this option?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] mcanic:

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Ricardo_G:
Hi people

I have a S6 edge and S7 edge, and i ´m doing the next things that i learned

- in the night i switch my network to 2G

- I use force doze ( with adb enabling, i´m not root)

- I use too greenify, with aggresive doze option ( i activated with adb command)

- I use block notifications

- Avoid Facebook messenger, this is a major battery drainer

- low brightness level

I´m not using the smart power option in my axon 7, i use the ultra power saving option instead. With this i have 32 to 36 hours with normal use ( BT music, BT car, whatsapp, take 10 photos, emails, download 2 or 5 apps, viber, 30 min for phone calls) , this is not great but this can help for you guys a little. I think that is not fair to compare with OP3, because this have a FHD screen, not a QHD
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] KyJelly69:
this doesn't work. US version
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] -Mephisto:
Try disabling Smart Power, turning this off made my battery last like how it should have lasted.

Now my idle power consumption is at 1% and not at 5.

No battery drain over night anymore.

Keep in mind that I have the Axon 7 Global Version.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Skingy1:
I have the US version and did the search for "scanning" just fine and switched off the Wi-Fi scanning and Bluetooth scanning buttons.

Also... Im having battery drain issues even on airplane mode. Phone's dead in the morning. I've factory reset phone a couple of times switched off Wi-Fi scanning & Bluetooth scanning, no apps on. Phone doesn't seem to deep sleep so maybe something is running in the background? Do widgets add to the drain?

Is there anything else I could try?

Perhaps I've got a faulty phone?

Thanks
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] dragonfet:
Possible Fix

I had the exact same issue. Going into recovery and clearing the cache fixed it for me. Did you try that?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Skingy1:
How do I do this?

Thanks
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] dragonfet:
Shut down your phone, then hold the volume up - button and keep it pressed while you turn it on. Hold it until you see a menu. Select "Clear cache" from it using the volume buttons and confirm with the power button. Then reboot when it's done.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Orion52:
I just got my US Axon 7 recently and I really like the phone but I'm not sure what to make of my battery life. It seems to lose very little when idle but for some reason when I actually use the phone, the battery drops pretty fast. I know the battery *has* to drop when it's in use but I'm not sure if the drop I'm experiencing is normal or if something is wrong.

So I tried the trick listed above dealing with the cache but in the settings it says "Clear cache partition", what does this specifically do? I don't want to have to reinstall anything or mess up my phone, what happens when I clear the cache?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] ashishv:
You wont lose data, all your apps will remain as is. You'll get the "Optimizing apps" during bootup, as the phone rebuilds cache.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Orion52:
Thanks, that makes sense.

As someone else mentioned, I turned off the "Smart Power Save" feature to see if that helps. Does anyone have any idea what specifically this does and why it's good to turn it off? Does the default Android power saving features work better? It doesn't really make sense to me that turning this off would actually help but I'm willing to give it a try.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] rogermorse:
I have the same problem. Right from the first day (ZTE Axon 7 gold bought in Austria) I had weird behaviours. First or second night I left it with wifi on and nothing else particular, in the morning it was completely dead. I can notice right away when this behaviour starts because the battery gets very hot (to the touch, no need for apps to measure it) and the % of the battery goes one unit lower every few seconds. In a few minutes I am able to completely lose the phone if I am not careful and that's very annoying, from 60% to 0% in really not long (an hour maybe) if I don't notice the problem and reboot.

I installed GSam battery monitorin app and I can see in a graph when the battery drain begins but the app sucker screen doesn't really show much. Sometimes the biggest app is google services, sometimes gmail....can't identify a rogue app. I just did the cache wipe I hope that makes things better.

Anyway in my case it's not a problem of the phone barely lasting one day. It's much worse: suddenly the battery goes down so quickly, gets about 40 degrees celsius hot, and if I don't notice it, the phone would just go down till 0%. Can't really say either if it's a matter of the CPU not lowering its frequency while in standby, from the graph it is really not clear. And yes, I had this in airplane mode as well, no wifi. It is extremely annoying when I leave the phone with a decent battery %, do something else and find it not even a couple hours later with less than half the % it had before. I tried with smart power option off as well, it does it anyway. A Reboot fixes the drain but it doesn't mean it can't come back a few minutes after rebooting.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Orion52:
It sounds like you have a defective unit, what you describe is absolutely not normal. My Axon 7 is amazing when the phone is locked and on standby, it loses a few percent overnight if I'm not charging it. If I were you I would try to perform a factory reset to see if that helps, and if not then you should file a warranty claim and get a new device.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] rogermorse:
I'm pretty sure you can't just say 100% it's a defective unit (although it may be of course). Many people with the axon 7 have the same problem (also in this thread), and the problem I have happens with android in general on different devices (I had occasionally the same problem with the Nexus 5 which I used for 2.5 years....from time to time I would pick up the phone, find it hot and with little battery left).

I did the cache wipe as somebody in this thread suggested....if it happens again and if it happens often, I will try a factory reset WITHOUT restoring the backup of all the apps from my google account. If that persist I will try to contact ZTE.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] fangmeister:
I suggest you do this. Do a factory reset, clear everything, and don't install any apps except to log in to your Google account. Disabled auto restore so it won't be installing apps by itself. Run clean Android like this for a day and see if you still have the drain problem. If you don't then one of your apps is the culprit. If you do then I would say your unit is defective.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] TheBoozer:
I just received my Gold Axon 7 replacement phone (a month ago, I hard bricked my 5 month old Axon 7, so I RMA it to ZTE for repair, they sent me back this one). After setting it up as new phone and then restoring my backed up data and apps, it is working fine EXCEPT for the battery drain. It is draining much faster than my original one. I did the cache wipeout and will monitor it now.

However I noticed that Location (Settings>Advance Settings> Location) is showing "Scanning" continuously, is this normal and could it be the reason for the battery drain? Are all Axon 7s this way or only mine?

Thank you for any help you can afford.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biebie29:
hi again hope to get help from you all i am stuck on MID csc but i need to go back to XFA i tried flashing xfa an eve tried this

1. Run and configure Odin. Do NOT check “Re-Partition” and “Auto Reboot” check boxes.

2. Load the stock firmware in the PDA button.

3. Set the phone in download mode (Volume Down+Home+Power button). Then connect the phone in your computer.

4. Hit the “Start” button and then wait.

5. Once the flashing successfully completed. Do NOT let it reboot into the normal mode.

6. Reboot into recovery mode (Volume Up+Home+Power button).

7. See if it’s applying the CSC file then wait until it finishes and reboot.

8. If you do not see the CSC installation, instead choose the “Wipe data/Factory reset”. Then repeat flashing the stock firmware. You may then achieved the CSC code flashing the stock firmware on the second attempt.

10. Confirm the CSC code by using Kies 3 or by downloading Phone INFO ★Samsung★ and see if the CSC code has changed.

and this

This worked just fine for me & I am confident about that this will work on your device too.

But remember this may can do a "FACTORY RESET",

So backup your data firstfi

Open your phone’s dialer and type the following code with your device IMEI number:

*#272*Phone’s IMEI Here#

No software required

and no luck i even tried flashing just the modem also no luck

never mind i got it fixed so if any one want help i will help but it is a long thing to do but at least it worked for me
