[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] Mechey:
I can confirm that switching to SwiftKey makes the hardware keyboard usable! I'm actually using the keyboard to type this now. Naturally, I'm making tons of mistakes but it is catching and correcting almost all of them!

Can confirm that SwiftKey easily switches between physical keyboard and on-screen keyboard when the physical keyboard is toggled on and off.

If anyone is still using the default software keyboard, switch now!!!
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] lobr1:
Thanks for the tip! This makes a big difference! Have either of you found a way to get auto capitalise to work? The setting is enabled but it doesn't do anythig.
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] faeArai:
My issue with SwiftKey is that there is no good ways to select a suggested word. You always have to click with your finger on the screen which completely ruins ten finger typing for my.

So I ended up with disabled word correction as it's faster to remove some mistyped words and type again, than to click on the screen.

How do you handle suggestions made by SwiftKey?
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] lobr1:
I have found that SwiftKey enters the main suggested word when I press space. This is good for most of the time, but annoying when:

-I want to select a suggestion that is not the main suggested word (particularly a new word that it doesn't recognise)

-I want to add punctuation directly after the main suggested word (here, because I input the punctuation rather than pressing space, the suggested word is not entered)

I have certainly found using SwiftKey to be the best experience. It's quite a passive autocorrect that doesn't get in the way too much. I got so sick of TouchPal which really gets in your face with its incorrect predictions.

But still there is a lot of room for improvement. It's such a shame that it's terrible software that lets down this keyboard. In particular I don't understand why:

- Some keyboards (like the Google Keyboard) don't offer any correction or prediction when enabled. Does Android maybe treat the Halo keyboard as an external keyboard (which I suppose you wouldn't want predictive features for)?

- Keyboards that do offer prediction don't seem to respond to changes to their settings (I can't get SwiftKey to auto capitalise the first letter of a sentence for example). [MENTION=4166449]thespinner02[/MENTION] mentioned tweaking with SwiftKey settings- I assume they meant for the onscreen keyboard because these settings don't do anything for the Halo keybaord.

I wonder whether there is a keyboard out there in the Play Store that works better with the Yoga Book. I'll try a few and let you guys know if I find one.
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] faeArai:
I tried several solutions but couldn't find anything good. Hardware keyboards are not that common on Android platform, I guess.
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] thespinner02:
Even using Swiftkey I sometimes get different results depending on the app being used. Auto capitalise is working OK for me, in Word for example.

There are specific options in Swiftkey for Physical Keyboard: in settings, Typing, Voice & Other Input. In Physical keyboard section I have Autocorrect and Auto capitalize on. Everything else off.
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] lobr1:
Thanks! I didn't notice that- smart spacing etc makes a massive difference!

Pretty much my only problem with SwiftKey now is that it sometimes creates its own weird textbook instead of typing directly into the text field. But that's not a massive problem.

Also I sometimes accidentally change input method. Maybe I'm using a keyboard shortcut by mistake?
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] zift:
In settings for hardware keyword I get no harder key found?:eek:

Went into Swift settings in onscreen. How to get settings for Halo?
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] thespinner02:
With Yoga Book in laptop mode. Settings / Language & input / SwiftKey Keyboard / Typing / Voice & Other Input
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] lobr1:
You also need to make sure 'show input method' is not enabled in the keyboard settings/selector popup.

Does anyone else experience a problem with SwiftKey where in some text fields your text goes into a little popup text box at the bottom of the screen as well as the intended text field? And then to get rid of the popup text box you have to tap 'next'. This occurs in the Facebook messenger app for example.

Any way to disable it?

It seems to do this when the text field is small, but other keyboards just expend the text field as you type. The popup text box it creates doesn't expand anyway, so it doesn't offer extra functionality and is just an annoyance.

Mayor news, Nougat Preview is open now, check this thread for more information.

https://community.zteusa.com/message/73727

Go there and register and have some Nougat fun. ;)

EDIT : this is an important information mentioned in the main thread back in Z-Community, so KEEP THAT IN MIND or ask question before proceeding and i mean don't ask them here

They say there's an NDA, but the actual agreement can't be seen while signing up...? Anyway good luck to people who signs up!
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] bkores:
So that means that anyone who signs up isn't gonna be able to tell us if MiFavor is gone or not with Nougat? That's all I want to hear.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] kgptzac:
I also want to know if the t-mobile wifi calling and other memory/power management optimization situation has improved. Hopefully the NDA allows that (likely not, lol)
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] tabletalker7:
Who knows what the NDA will and will not allow - all you are doing right now is signing up to be a part of the experiment. Not everyone who signs up will be accepted (I hope I am accepted)
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] azpatterson3:
Signed up. We will see what happens.

Power management needs to be fixed, encryption would be nice, and this weird issue where you can't use your photos from google photos as wallpapers.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] TeutonJon78:
After you apply, they will pick who they accept. After you get accepted, then you get the NDA to sign or not sign. If you choose to sign it, then your IMEI gets added to the list and they push out all the extra updates. You can basically refuse at any point up to when you get updates (since apparently you can't go back to Mashmallow).
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] spacemanvt:
I unlocked my bootloader... can i still get in on this?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] KyJelly69:
You should ask that question at the zte community. but probably not.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] abdi7451:
Apparently the previous OTAs haven't checked for unlocked bootloader, so unless they changed that for this OTA, you should be able to get it.

1- boot to TWRP

2- Tap Mount

3- Check SYSTEM-READ-ONLY

4- Wipe Dalvik, Cache, Data and System

5- Flash my B29.StockSystem

6- Reboot (there's probably going to be a message about NO OS , just ignore and slide to reboot.

Once full boot, reboot back to Recovery to check if stock recovery is in place and reboot if it is..

Tried this on my OnePlus One to get Daydream working. Someone should try it with the 7.0 beta and root.

From Reddit:

"Got Daydream to work on my 5X, might work on other Android 7.0 phones as well

u/CharaNalaar4d

After some investigation, I've gotten the entire Daydream app (home screen and all!) to run on my 5X.

This is based on this suggestion.

Here's how I did it:

This requires root, Android 7.0, Google VR Services, and the Daydream app to all be installed on your phone. It also requires a compatible Daydream viewer and controller (I use a Cardboard viewer with the controller emulator running on an old device).Using a root explorer app, navigate to /system/etc/permissions/handheld_core_hardware.xml. This is where the system features of your phone are listed.Inside the file is the list of permissions, formatted as XML and nicely commented (as least on my 5X). Add the following lines into the root permissions tag:

<feature name="android.software.vr.mode" /> <feature name="android.hardware.vr.high_performance" />

They might even be mentioned and explained in the comments.Reboot your device. You should be able to launch Daydream from the app.

I hope this is of any use to anyone who's tried to get this working previously.

EDIT: After doing this, all my Daydream apps are updating through the Play Store. It's also allowing me to download apps that previously were marked as incompatible."

It is version 7.0.

It still says MiFavor, specifically version 4.2.

Build number is A2017UV1.1.0B08.

All the pre-installed apps are still pre-installed, however this could change in the future as it's an early beta.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] A7Nougat:
To me, it seems a little less aggressive. The Power Management settings section is still there, though. A new battery cooling section has been added, too.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] borijess:
Do you guys have any input on changes?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] abdi7451:
Don't think that will happen, to be honest. We only have one dev working on CM, and it doesn't look like any others will be jumping aboard. We're already two weeks away from 2017, I think the Axon 7 has missed it's chance to have a decent dev community. I mean, ZTE only started cooperating with UnjustifiedDev in late October.

My dad likes the look of this phone, so I'm considering just giving it to him and getting a 3T. The one thing I've learned from this phone is that software trumps hardware. You can have all the OIS, 3500 mAh batteries, 2K displays you want, but if the software is lacking, your experience with the phone is lacking.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] A7Nougat:
Yes we have a feedback form and a private discussion area where we can post with other testers and ZTE employees.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] QAM:
Hola

Some I am gonna ask the obvious question. Is there anyway us unlucky ones can get the download link to the Nougat preview. I believe the majority of us, if not all, are competent enough to take a full nandroid backup before attempting to install it. Granted that it ain't easy rolling back to MM but that's the typical risk many of us take regardless :)

Anyone?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] A7Nougat:
No, the download link is protected by IMEI. Without an IMEI that's on their master list, you won't get access to the update.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] bkores:
So even if someone uses adb logcat to find the update url you still wouldn't be able to download it?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] runderekrun:
Damn. 7.0 means no day dream support right?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] jonathan3579:
Android 7.0 can have Daydream support. See the Moto Z as a perfect example...
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] A7Nougat:
No, since it uses your IMEI1 to authenticate the download.

Daydream support is coming later, but not right now.

Wasn't EMEI verification the case for B20_boot, which is now publically available to download and flash?

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] A7Nougat:
From using the software for a while myself, I can say it's different. It may be a beta and yes the beta has its' bugs, but performance is out of this world on Nougat. I thought this phone was fast on Marshmallow but wow, it's like a whole new phone. It can only get better from here as things are smoothed out more.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] amphi66:
YES! you DO need more information. I went from KK to MM to N on my Nexus 5 and each time reinstalled my favored Apex Launcher, wallpaper & icon layout. AaMoF I have the exact same setup now on my A7. So you really can't tell by just looking.

Too busy to signup for the ZTE N-preview, but despite some baked in differences, there is nothing a slimmed-down version of the A7 software won't do to my satisfaction.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] WesTD:
You installed launcher and icon pack and got same setup with Nexus 5? You're right if setup is just desktop. What about notification bar or settings or another app?

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Cyrus D.:
It's almost 2017 and all there is so far is an early closed beta of 7.0 while Google has 7.2 is on the way for their phones. Still tons of amateur bugs, typos, and general weirdness. Still no official/easy way to unlock the bootloader + keeping warranty as they promised was coming, promised months ago. Honestly if I could return this A7 and buy a OP3T I would, but NewEgg Canada aren't going to take returns of non-defective items. Hell, they don't even want to take returns of defective items either.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] king1990:
tell me how many phones received official android 7.1 ? Only nexus , what about 7.0 only Motorola ! Even op3 still not getting 7.0 officially ! So zte is not that bad.

It is your mistake to buy a phone locked bootloader.

Poeple asked for bootloader to be unlocked and they responded , asked for factory image , asked to help udev and they delivered , if there is not enough roms availabile its not zte fault.

Again it was said from countless reviews that if you want better software experience dont buy axon 7 buy other phone op or nexus
