[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] roseykr:
My VZW situation. Just an FYI post AND how to fix it.

I'm on Verizon, have had my Axon 7 for over a month now. No issues other than not having VoLTE, and the occasional software farts (Using Nova Launcher now). When I initially set-up my phone, I imported all previous apps directly from the Play Store. I should have known not to install the VZW apps that were previously installed on my HTC One M8 (purchased directly from VZW), but in my excitement for the new phone, it skipped my mind. Anyhow, no issues through 9/19. "Verizon" displayed as my carrier, and full access to the LTE network.

Fast forward to 9/20 (post B27 update) when one of the VZW updated automatically (I don't recall which of the 2 apps I had installed), and BAMM, "123456" displayed as my carrier and no more access to the LTE network (3G only). Later that evening, my VZW account showed my number with an "unauthorized, non-VZW device", whereas, before the VZW app update it showed my HTC one M8. I removed the SIM and shut down the phone, re-installed the SIM and re-booted....nada. Tried what seemed to be every permutation of replacing the SIM card, played around with APN settings...no dice.

My feeling is they booted me off 4G LTE once the app recognized I was using an unauthorized, non-VZW device. The steps below solved the issue (Provided by "vzwcdma" via the ZTE Community Forum).

"As for losing LTE connectivity, I've had a similar problem before, both on the A7 and other devices. On other devices, like Motorola devices, I could just boot into the bootloader and clear the modem state partitions via fastboot, but ZTE seems to have disabled that function in the A7's bootloader. So, for the A7, I had to mess around a bit with the modem mode. Download "Network" or "4G LTE Switch" from the Play Store. Open it and scroll down to "Set preferred network type", where it should say "LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)". There isn't really a set guide for what you have to do, but try switching into LTE-only mode, try hitting "Turn off radio" and "Turn on radio" (not Airplane Mode), maybe try "LTE/CDMA audo (PRL)", maybe turn off radio, switch to LTE-only mode, turn on radio, etc. At some point (I'm not sure what) the phone will reset its modem state, and should re-connect to Verizon LTE (and when it does, switch the network type back to LTE/GSM/CDMA auto PRL.

My Verizon account also shows "unauthorized, non-VZW device". Shouldn't affect anything. I've been using an unauthorized/non-VZW device prior to the A7 with no issues as well."

Verizon still working fine for me.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Wileyworld:
After the b27 update I saw improved signal strength. I'm on page plus mvno. After driving in a fringe reception area, I lost lte,and I showed as roaming. It seemed to be using boost Mobile from what the phones network menus displayed. Axon doesn't have a mobile network setting for 'system b', only auto & home only. Tried both, rebooting each time, no fix. I ended up resetting phone, fixed it all. I then switched mobile network to home only, and hoping that it's done.

PS-after b27 I had to re-enable a couple settings, pinch for screen shot, etc.

Edit: it's now been several weeks with it set to home network only. I daily drive in fringe reception areas and have better signal strength than ever, with any phone/carrier combo. All is great, no more issues. Great phone!

For reference, I'm on page plus mvno, dropped in my activated sim from my old phone into the right-side sim slot for CDMA services. Then set to home only. Done.

Just wanted to see if anyone else had inputs of post update Verizon service, good and bad... hasn't been a ton of chatter in the last week. I have a phone on its way from the egg, trying to decide if it's worth starting a new sim card with Verizon and dealing with that work around... is getting the number off a display and ordering online still the easiest way to get activated?

thanks for the list guys, i think i'll give it a shot. i'm going to try to add it as a second line to my wifes plan online. is borrowing a friends imei from a nano phone still the best way to get a new activated sim for this phone?

that 526 is a predaid, will verizon just switch that sim to plan if i call in? or are they different?

---------- Post added at 03:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:18 PM ----------

found this, not sure if this is still the rule...

http://www.prepaidphonenews.com/2016/02/new-policy-may-require-verizon-prepaid.html

"It turns out that Verizon made a policy change effective 1/17/16 that requires Verizon Prepaid Phones to be activated on Verizon Prepaid and have at least $30 in airtime applied to them before they cam be used on Verizon postpaid. A Reddit user posted a copy of an internal Verizon document detailing the new rule:

Effective 1/17/2016, customers who purchase a Prepaid 4G device must activate on a $30, $45, or $60 Prepaid plan and make at least 1 monthly service payment before they are eligible to move the device to a new or active Postpay account .

Device remains locked until first month’s payment is made on their Prepaid plan.

Device is unlocked automatically upon successful first month’s payment and can be used on Postpaid plan (new SIM or SIM swap).

Attempting to use an active Postpay SIM Card with a new 4G LTE Prepaid PIB smartphone prior to making the required monthly payment, hotlines the Postpay MDN (SFO 83643) . The hotline remains until first month’s payment is made.

Customers who activate on the $45 or $60 Prepaid plans and enroll in Auto Pay, receive bonus 1GB data per month.

If account is hotlined:

Data access, outgoing calls, and text messaging do not work.

Text message is sent to smartphone.

*VZW FREE MSG: Phone must be activated on Verizon Wireless Prepaid service and first monthly payment must be made before it can be used with any other service. *

Auto-remark is placed on the customer's account.

*SIM Swap attempted: MDN Hotlined. Phone must be activated on VZW Prepaid service and first month paid before it can be activated as postpaid. *"
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] flyer_andy:
Dang...yeah I think you're right about this. My mistake...ugh I wish they'd just make it easy! In that case I'd say Swappa would be the best route...I've bought a few phones off of there and it's always been a great experience.

So frustrating. Before update used today Verizon in upper left corner. Switched to 123456 after update. Rebooted and it went back. After another reboot it only says 123456 and nothing I do will change it back. And now when I get an MMS hangouts tells me it needs to download it but nothing happens. I never get LTE anymore either.

Edit: not sure what I did but it's back now. Might have something to do with bearer in apn settings being lte.

That's #9 in the above list that was posted. Need to cycle the modem state of the device.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] methcat:
so, can someone help me with a little clarification? did ZTE ever actually disable anything regarding Verizon on this phone? i know when people quote the webinar, it sounded like they were going to. i understand that the functionality is basically all still working, but i'm wondering if maybe i'm confused on the terminology.

in this post on reddit, i heard the same thing that has been repeated by some, and i am wondering if i have my band terminology confused. is the cdma part different from the 4g lte part(and that's why it's still working)?, or is sarah just incorrect?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] xgerryx:
No, AFAIK that is wrong. As crazy as it sounds, before I bought the phone and while we were all trying to figure out if it was going to work on Verizon, etc etc, I read through the entire FCC report on the AXON 7 and all necessary bands were approved and passed FCC tests.

As far as what ZTE did after the fact, and if they disabled anything, that is unclear but it doesn't seem like they did. The reception problems people are having are present on all carriers, at different levels.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] methcat:
Looking at this blog post with all the phone bands, I wonder could it be that the LTE bands work, but not some or all of the CDMA bands somehow? They are separate, so i'm wondering if the lte bands are working, giving everyone the 4g/lte on 13,4 and 2, but not the 2g/3g that verizon gives via cdma on bc0(850mhz) and bc1(1900mhz).

fcc querry

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] KyJelly69:
I cycled it until i was blue in the face. Somewhere between transferring the sin back and forth between my old phone and this one it finally started working. I then noticed the apn it chose the the one for tracfone that had the bearer set to LTE. There is another one with a bearer of eHRPD. This one sucks. So maybe try choosing the lte one instead.

IU was even trying creating my own apn with different settings . but finally, seemingly randomly, it worked.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] xgerryx:
This happened to me too. I had to try to edit or add a new APN manually at least 5 times before it showed up in the menu randomly. This phone does some weird, weird things.

https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/repo...NoQLPPloZAQW71O+XSwrTA==&fcc_id=SRQ-ZTEA2017U

This a link to all of the individual reports tested by the FCC in May. The ones I focused on were the Test Report for Part90S_CDMA BC10,	Test Report for GSM/WCDMA/CDMA-1, and	Test Report for GSM/WCDMA/CDMA-2. They are all near the bottom. If you search like "BC10" or Band II for band 2 within the PDFs, you can jump around a bit. Portions of the reports have a rating and everything, in every category they tested (which is outlined on summary pages before the results) returned a "pass" rating. This was originally how I determined that the Axon SHOULD work on Verizon.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] methcat:
I wonder if that's the trick? I'm pretty sure Verizon is currently using bc0 and bc1, and not bc10?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] xgerryx:
Possible but both BC01 and BC0 are on there, and passed as well.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] methcat:
cool, for anyone else trying to decipher the fcc pages, i think all of the test reports are zte's submissions to the fcc, this is the one that counts, that actual FCC grant.... (correct me if i'm wrong, i'm new here)
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] charklos:
Soooo, there's a lot of speculation going on here and mine has been working flawless on Verizon, with the exception of VoLTE. I had the Tracfone APN setting in there too by default, but i did a simple Google search for axon 7 Verizon wireless apn settings and the first page was all i needed.

https://apn.gishan.net/settings/1514_13_verizon_apn_settings_for_zte_axon_7.php

I created a new apn and copied those settings and everything was peachy keen. LTE was solid, no drops, mms was working, text was fine, and the only "issue" was the R was up on the signal bars, but whatever.

Hope this helps some of u guys
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] KyJelly69:
you still need MCC and MNC ports (311, and 480 respectively)

I don't think bearer being unspecified is a good thing either.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] methcat:
yeah, i have no doubts of the functionality. i'm more interested in the stability and little things at this point. i was trying to figure if the cdma bands actually all had the fcc stamp (not just built into the phone or tested), it'll make it much more likely it will eventually get folded into verizons list. Also, the LTE/4G is the most widely reported as fully functional, so i was looking more into the 2g/3g fallback that is cdma, and if that is really off or not. i had thought possibly people might assume that because their 4g was always on, all bands were active, while maybe the 3g cdma was not (it could well be working for all i know).

like i said, i still plan to use mine.

thanks guys for all your comments
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] charklos:
I believe the mcc and mnc auto filled those numbers in for me... But yes, i agree that they should be input as well.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] chrisjennings:
Thanks for the helpful post. I have been using the device on VZW and I generally agree with all of this.

When I was having issues not getting on LTE, I did the GSM sim-card trick.

I bought a $5 T-mobile starter sim card on Amazon. Removed my VZW sim, inserted the T-mobile sim. Then I popped the VZW sim back in and LTE came back.

Sure, it's annoying thing to do, but seems to work fine now. Wish we could figure out VOLTE at some point though. Also, is this device getting LTE advanced speeds? I'm thinking it's not. Maybe it can if VZW gives it the green light?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] xtermmin:
VoLTE all depends on Verizon certifying the device. The A7 doesn't support 3xCA, and while it does support 2xCA, none of the 2xCA options include Verizon's Band 13. The only one that may work is B2+B4.

---------- Post added at 10:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:07 PM ----------

Because the A7 isn't approved by Verizon yet, all calls go over CDMA. You can also use the Phone Info menu to force your phone into CDMA-only or EVDO-only modes.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] methcat:
Well if that's the case, and people are getting 4g/LTE for data (seen from the many posts) all Verizon bands are active, at least for the respective functions, whether they are approved or not
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] charklos:
I'm working on trying to get volte up and running. There are a few different things that I am toying with but so far I've had no luck. I'll keep you guys posted if anything develops.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] xtermmin:
There seems to be some sort of Verizon VoLTE configuation files present on the A7, but I'm unsure if it's all correct or if it's just a placeholder or if it's just garbage.

Path:

/firmware/image/modem_pr/mcfg/configs/mcfg_sw/generic/na/verizon

It may still need Verizon's certification before working, however.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] KyJelly69:
verizon band 13 works for me.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] charklos:
Since it looks like the phone might have volte compatibility with Verizon, I'm trying to figure out if I can trick their system into thinking it's a volte compatible phone, perhaps via means of root. Ps, i work at vzw, so believe me when i say I'm trying to figure this out from every angle lol
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] methcat:
i kinda wonder if issues like this are part of why verizon is sandbagging this. if they don't have a good way to support all the features they offer, they wouldn't likely approve it, as they'll just get a bunch of complaints regarding volte or some other feature not working? though, i know volte has been out and working prior to 3XCA hasn't it? i think it started in 2011 on the lg revolution?

not knowing anything about 3xCA, is that hardware or is it firmware fixable?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] KyJelly69:
maybe you can work with this guy:

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] xtermmin:
VoLTE has nothing to do with Carrier Aggregation.

2xCA with Band 13 can be added via a software upgrade (which I doubt ZTE would do unless the A7 actually gets Verizon certification). Not sure about 3xCA though.
