After the B06 update my phone doesnt charge using a third party cable anymore. I use a longer 2m charging cable which was working fine until I updated my phone
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jah:
Audio with high res music is much better.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lasse58:
I have downloaded the update file, tried to click on instructions but nothing happened. How do I install the update?

Thx in advance

EDIT: just saw the PDF file in the zip. so everything ok
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] le_cactus:
*sigh* hope you just have a broken cable, if not this would be the next totaly absurd action of ZTE Europe!

By now I starting to really regret ever buying this phone [emoji22]

Cheers,

I dont think there are Sensors that looking for thr right cable. That wouldnt make sense.

After the update i feel the System is more flawless. Real nice. Hopefully the next update is Nougat. :)
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] wilbur-force:
Mine came with B06 preinstalled this week and I'm using a variety of third party cables just fine :)
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
Few hours ego I made the update after downloading the file,extracting through pc and put the zip update file to micro sd and perform with the usual way like being OTA.

After that did factory reset to be like clean installation upgrade.

Not having any issue with charging with third party charger.

After all I'm using a 1.5A Sony charger from older Z3 I had from beginning.

As for changes will see coming days.

Didn't notice anything different.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] RfBob:
Thanks for the mega link.

Just by hearing I'd also guess the audio through speakers got way clearer. Nothing else to mention just yet although the audio already is a big deal in my opinion.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ALeX850:
hey guys, I'm on B05 right now and since B03 I guess (I was on B02 before) they unfortunately removed the option to record video using H265 at 1080p 30fps and replaced it with H265 recording at 1080p 60fps. I don't know if I have a bug or if it's an actual issue but the videos taken with this mode (H265 1080p@60fps) look "zoomed in" and very noised... You can see the matter right away by switching from any mode to H265 1080p@60.

Is it resolved with B06? thanks
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Casperwinde:
After the update 500 firepapers just no working and google clock too.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
Me too had issue with 500 firepapers at the beginning despite put background images the phone by its own change the background image and put ZTE image.

Had to do clear cache/clear date 2-3 times to the app and then until now works fine.

Let's see how perform next days.

Another issue is with Glimpse Notification a very important and must have app that using.

Not let me to enable notification access through device.

I did restart the phone,even uninstalled/installed from beginning even try previous version.

And suddenly at its own it works after half an hour.

Very strange behavior.

Keep in mind disable any kind power save mode on both app through settings-power manager-power management for app.

All that power save mode with Android M do more damage than any kind benefit.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ayim:
is the reception getting any better on the B06? anyone?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
Not had any issue with previous B03/5 so I can't say if become better now.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Casperwinde:
Yeah...after reinstall 500 firepapers it works again and had to disable all those power savings policy on the apps. The update js seems more aggressively closing the background processes than previous. Previous it will pop out notification stated that which apps it closed but nt for this update. And yes it close the app lk previous update.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
I just don't understand some Chinese OEM with so aggressively ram management policy.

For what reason we have 4gb ram and not manage to take advantage because of stupid policy by manufacturer.

With my iPad with only 2gb ram and having superior ram management compared to Axon 7 never having issue with Notification at background and all workings perfect.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] obladi64:
I don't have any problem with ram management policy. System works right good.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] igoforthebest:
I think I figured it out.... The cable is fine its the QC 2.0 charger that is suddenly incompatible. If I use any other standard 2A charger the cable works fine.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Looloup:
I just updated today (went well/easily) - and I noticed that the wireless data icon is no more flickering on-off, also using the "Network Signal Info" app which has a widget showing actual strength rather than the bars in the notification line showed a steadier and increased strength - with my phone on the desk in the same place as previously.

Running the Speedtest app showed a marked increase in performance - three weeks I had between 2.9 and 8.8 download speed - now I have a very consistent 14+ (which is better than my internet at home). I will try and post the screen capture from Speedtest.

I haven't had the opportunity to play with the camera, or anything else - but so far it has been a worthy upgrade for the wireless data improvement.

Actually, I now seem to have navigation buttons that don't actually respond ... or very very slowly... or I need to hit them multiple times for any action (Back/Home/Apps) to actually work .... has anyone else seen this?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
Navigation button working flawlessly to me as always from B03/5 version.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Looloup:
Two reboots seems to have fixed it ... latest issue seems to be not able to keep wallpaper .... it seems to default to standard one after waking
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
As I said above I had yesterday issue with wallpaper with 500 fire paper.

Not today but to be honest I've not used my smartphone today as I do with normal conditions as I'm at home cold with fever,headache and nasal congestion and take a day off from my working job :p
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Looloup:
OK - I am using Simple Image PRO to have different wallpapers for Portrait / Landscape ... so I guess we are having the same issue at some level with dynamic wallpapers
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] lungustefan2:
guys,can you disable the notification bell,like on the US variant,where they received the update?

also,can you get the stock android theme?i dont like the mifavor theme with the iphoneish icons
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Keiler90:
No.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
No you can't nothing from what you asked for.

EU version totally abounded by ZTE support and haven't get any feature US version having.

Not even getting new security patches we are stick to July and US got September and October.

The only solution is by using third party launcher like Nova Prime or 3D Next Launcher for having app draw+far better customization option or lock screen replacement like next lock screen to get rid of the annoying bell notification.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] lungustefan2:
aside from that,any other annyoing bugs I should be aware of?

i just ordered it from amazon.de,will arrive in 2 weeks i presume,and I dont want any surprises.

I mean,any red flags with the latest b06 version?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
No other bugs aside some missing feature that US version having and oldest month security patches that mention above.

But keep in mind that performance at camera at low light conditions it's far from ideal.

Only with manual setting you can capture good level picture.

Also double tap to wake its not always responsive especially if you have it at you jeans/jacket pocket it refuses to respond when you take it off.(that's my experience 2.5 months having the device as primary one)

From all other aspects the device is rock solid and high level performing.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] lungustefan2:
well then I expect these "bugs" to be fixed with future OTA's,cause they ARE fixable.I believe there is no cause for alarm..

also,tell me alittle about the LTE performance.

For example,are you able to watch a 1440p youtube video on LTE without buffering?

where do you live?whats your carrier?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] nuridurdu27:
B08 will appear next weak. Notification bell optional and securitypatch get raised an it is confirmed from ZTE :)
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] lungustefan2:
where did you get this information from?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] nuridurdu27:
From ZTE Germany Somoeone in our group has coversationbwith them and they said in 1 week it will come theb08
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
To be fair I haven't test it with 1440p but with 1080p perform excellent so far.

Reception quality is on par with my previous S7 edge.

Don't have any complaints from that aspect.

Since you bought it from Amazon de you have 30 days return policy if you are not happy in your country and carrier performance.

Welcome news,but until see it in real life I don't believe anything from ZTE.

Time will say if that's true or not.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] lungustefan2:
ask them about the stock theme,if it is planned
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] faz712:
from B05 to 06, all I notice on my device is that Accessibility services keep getting disabled in the background – have to manually change individual app's power-saving settings now to maintain Accessibility for them.

Also the 3G/4G/4G+ icon intermittently blinking on and off in the status bar when on WiFi has returned.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] iNaruX:
Complete translation!

Michael Fuhr:

-Hello dear ZTE team,

is the Axon 7 still going to receive an update in november? An update that will bring us in Germany up to date with the U.S Version including a security patch update?

ZTE Mobile Deutschland:

-Hello Michael,

the update to B08 is currently planned to be distributed within the next week. With this update the security patch is going to be updated and the notification bell will be made optional.

Greetings, your ZTE Facebook Team

Like I said! These random .zip updates are not the intended ones for the end user. Most likely test builds with no real improvements.

This B08 will be the promised update.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] nuridurdu27:
Are you sure bro that it is the promised update in November ? I would say the b06 should be the Update ZTE said that too but The negative response from the customers has zte moved to another way and they understand that they must do that what the customers say :) If you look on the screenshot Zte said here that the b06 will. come but a few thay later an b08 appears :D I think we all together are on a good way beacuse The G Modell was bad supportet against the US. And now.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] raystef66:
Today I received the... B05 OTA again(after it had disappeared for a while)

Don't know whether this update has the same changes asthe B06...

To be short, the ZTE update policy is kind of weird.

And that's an understatement!

EDIT : seems to be the same changelog text as someone (razorbk) posted on october 31

I am planning to install this update first and see if there are some changes in reception, sound etc...

EDIT2 : installed B05 : no visible changes, carrier strenght exactly the same even as the wifi strenght, download speed on 4G improved after various test +-20% as uploadspeed remained the same, sound : no issues as before on B03
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] nuridurdu27:
maybe the want the b05 as a base and then give the update out
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] raystef66:
Could be because the B05 was there in the first place and dissapeared after a week (in my case).

I installed the update but no visible changes there. Only downloadspeed on 4g improved (tested on same spot indoor, several tests) with a +-20%.

Will test this again later on.

But 4G strenght remains poorly ...a -115dBm indoor
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] lungustefan2:
-115?

I get -90 on my lg l90 indoors,in romania,vodafone ro

how is yours?call quality?dropped calls?how is the lte coverage and speed?can you watch a 1440p video on lte without buffering?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] raystef66:
First i have to admit i am in a region against the border which makes a great difference in signal strength.

But when i compare things the poor signal quality of the ZTE becomes clear :

4G test with ZTE <> huawei Y6 (same spot, same time, same host) :

ZTE : -115dBm, download : +-8Mbps , upload ; +-1.4 Mbps

Huawei Y6 (simple, cheap but effective phone that costs 1/3...)

-105dBm (ok, not that good but fair especialy because of the region and visible better than ZTE)

download :+-24 Mbps (tested this phone in a dense area : result +-100Mbps)

upload : +-4.2 Mbps

So as a result the ZTE is much worse than an average phone in signal strength, 3 times better result with my Huawei.

I will test my ZTE in a dense area where 4g is optimal and share this result later.

As for the 1440p : never had any stuttering ( not in B02,B03 nor B05) , so excellent.

Never had issues with call drops, very crisp sound....

Sound quality : SUPERB !

EDIT :

Drove to town in the afternoon and monitored the signal strength most of the time. It reached an average of -99dBm. Hardly found a place near a carrier pole where it was -92 : Result : download : 89Mbps, upload : 12 Mbps.

Didn't have time to test it with other phone, but as i remember before with Huawei it was +-100Mbps download and 40 upload.

Tomorrow i can do a proper test with both to compare strength in average environment.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] raystef66:
EDIT :

Did some further test on the same time with the Axon7 (G) <> Huawei Y6

Other spot/town , same test time, place carrier pole/hosting both the same for both phones :

AXON 7 :

Signal strenght : -84dBm

test 1 : 59.2 / 5.54 (download/upload)

test 2 : 62.76 / 5.42

test 3 : 51.16 / 5.71

Huawei Y6 :

signal strength : -78dBm

test 1 : 91.4 / 46,12

test 2 : 107.1 / 45,20

test 3 : 116.1 / 45.88

You don't have to be much of a tech to see that a rather cheap Huawei 150 euro phone compared to the 450 euro one like ZTE AXON is much better in performance to down and upload speed. I certainly would have expected that this ZTE could perform better.....but no...

However, do have in mind that signal strength and down and upload speeds are not bound together. I mean, you could well have better down/upload speeds with worse dBm IF the carrier/hosts CAN provide you better down/upload speeds. I did several tests. Some of them like earlier post had a -99dBm average with a better download/upload compared to the tests above.

But when you do tests, do compare same location and hosts.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] bkores:
Yes just unpack the update.zip, remove the getprop and assertprop lines from the updater script, and then repack it.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] simsonavo:
Raystef thx for nice test.

I have just installed b06 coming from 05 and before 03.

My observations:

B05 battery was better overall performance I think the same.

B06 i need to use it for some time to tell more but comparing to b05 I'm getting 4g at my place before I had 3g or h. I'm in Berlin in old building with big walls inside courtyard and I have o2 which is the worst network in Germany.

The speed in 4g over 3g before didn't change it's poor LTE with download like 8-10 mbs and upload like 2.

I will test it outside.

Wi-Fi is maybe a bit better, although I never had problems but now the reception seems similar but Im getting full speed further from router.

I will test battery and other things especially I will look into camera. When I record video the algorithm changes very aggressively the exposure which results in too dark and burn flickering video.

I hope they fixed that.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] simsonavo:
now I can say one thing for sure, the system is definetely much more responsive, faster switching between apps.

Update haven't changed my apps battery settings like autocleaning with screen off.

But ram managment definetely has changed chrome stays in memory before was not on the list to make this option off.

Also some other apps loading faster.

tomorrow I will test camera and battery life
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
Me too after a week with B06 battery life seems little improved compared to B03/5.

Hope B08 don't screw up.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] sweet_anesthesia:
I'm on B06 coming from a Nexus 5 and I am a bit surprised by the posts claiming bad reception on the Axon 7. Switching from the Nexus to the Axon did not "feel" like I had a worse reception at all. Here are 2 photos comparing the network reception and speed on e-plus LTE in Germany indoors on the Axon 7 and my wifes Galaxy S4 i9506.

Signal strength is basically equal, sometimes a few dBm difference both ways. Download speed was a bit higher on the Axon on this run, but other times its basically the same. I cant tell what LTE band we're on, I just didn't feel the need to root my device yet. And root is needed to report the frequency.

To summarize my experiences so far, in no way would I conclude the Axon 7 (A2017G - B06) had a different reception than (my) other phones.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gatos7:
Wanted to add my 2 cents here. There are some devices that seem to have hardware problems concerning the cellular signal.

I order my a2017g from amazon and the signal was awful. I have 2 sims and both had no signal at all at my home. Only got signal downtown and when I was outside.

I returned the devices and got a replacement that works just fine now
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
Crucial week this time and let's see if ZTE gone keep her promise over B08 software update.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ayim:
This see ZTE device isn't consistent.. some had different problem than another & some got no problem at all. Mine just got a replacement too because of video recording issue, and the replacement set has no problem at all.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
Well gays this thing happens with all device from all manufacturers.

Some units are better than other.

In this case simple return the defective device and get brand new replacement.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Carlito Z3:
so we can update to this B06 without any issue?

they never provide this kind of update via OTA?

do we loose something on the phone with an update dony by copying update file on the sd and launching the update?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jake123194:
I have gone to op3t, nearly 6 months of waiting for bugs to be fixed Axon 7 has finally sent me to op, don't regret this decision but will miss the outstanding audio.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] raystef66:
Have noticed that the B06 zip file has changed in name from 20161124111138817 to 20161124113735192

Perhaps other changes have taken place since first upload ?

edit : only getting 85.5 MB.....

edit 2 : strange ...now it is back 20161124111138817 and downloading correct...

edit 3 : Hong kong 20161124111138817.zip

Spain 20161124113735192.zip

Sweden 20161125094746936.zip

All downloading now. Are these different zip files all and the same B06 ? Only the upload date and time differ a bit.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] deoki:
Maybe it has something to do with the different APN's

All I know is that since the last FOTA I haven't been able to make emergency calls (112 in Europe or 911 in the states). Can anyone else confirm as well, please? I'm on a A2017G from Amazon.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] raystef66:
The one the OP gave us was the Hong Kong version. I am on B05. When i should install the B06 it would be the Spain version to be sure. You never know the HK version is a little bit different than the Spain one....

Think i'm gonna wait for the B08 :)
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] piffa_:
How is the jack audio from the op3t compared to the a7? I mean we are still on the European model, which was never THAT good.

And let's be honest you're not always listening music through the speaker :)
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jake123194:
I'm not exactly an audiophile but I can't tell much if any difference between them. Yeah for some silly reason the US got better support than us. Haha true, but you tubing and various other media is great to watch on it. Don't really listen to music too much.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] iNaruX:
European model has the same quality, but different volume levels. Whereas the 2017U is capped at 19 in the mixer_paths.xml, we are at 17 I think...

If you turn off dolby and turn on Super mode you will most definitely notice a difference.

Using A2017G
[Android Apps and Games] Dread 7us:
As seen in the Android market here.

XDA version is completely free, please let me know if you find issues (I will try to address them around my work schedule). I created this app many years ago with just the one scheduling option (everyday). I have been extremely busy throughout the years but I set aside some time and I have made a bunch of updates. The original (legacy) reboot option stopped working for newer phones after some time. I updated a few options to cover more phones (hopefully) and will add more in the future with feedback from you.

If the reboot options are not working, please go to Menu > Settings > 'Reboot Method' and change it one of the other options then test.

Please keep in mind, if you setup schedule with cache clearing, it can take several mins before cache has been cleared before it reboots (currently targets /data/data/{apps}/cache).

Your phone must be rooted to use this app.

A simple application to schedule reboots for your phone on a daily basis. Schedule options include; reboot, hot reboot and power down with options to clear all app cache and dalvik-cache. If using hot reboot for scheduling, you must first hit the button and accept the superuser permission.

You have three options when scheduling; everyday (Sunday - Saturday), M-F (Monday - Friday) or custom (select the days of the week).

App contains buttons to power your phone off, reboot, hot reboot, reboot to bootloader and reboot to recovery.

Options:

Reboot on button press.

Reboot to bootloader.

Reboot to recovery.

Power the phone off (shut down).

Clear all app cache.

Clear dalvik-cache.

Hot reboot (reboot system, much faster than reg reboot).

Schedule time for reboot, hot reboot or shutdown.

Schedule clearing cache and dalvik-cache.

Monday through Friday Schedule Option.

Custom option (select the days you want).

Turn on or off reboot confirmations with button press.

Persistent notification option.

Turn on or off startup toast notifications.

Permissions:

android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED

android.permission.REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS

android.permission.WAKE_LOCK
