[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Msjoannalynn:
I bought a verizon Samsung Galaxy s7 from someone online I was told it was unlocked well i tried putting my Metro Pcs sim card in it & I get nothing. It says Sim card is not from Verizon wireless, I got it to work once for a few minutes but that was it.

Whenever I go to settings>mobile networks> all i see is data roaming and access points.

Also startup screen says custom with an unlocked padlock but root checker says root is not properly installed on this device.

I don't know what to do I just want to be able to use my phone

[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] SMessy:
The WileyFox Swift 2 Plus is not a bad looking phone, the case feels good in my hand. It is almost small and light enough to fit into my shirt pocket should I need to.

It runs CyanogenOS which is an improvement on the standard bloated Google Android and is to be applauded.

3Gb for the System and 32Gb Storage, 2.4GHz WiFi, Dual Sim, External SDCard, NFC, Android Pay, Android Beam , FingerPrint recognition, 4G, 16Mp/8Mp cameras, 5" screen - great stuff especially for the price. It is however, designed as a city phone not an everywhere phone that much is apparent.

There are a number of downsides :crying:

The second SIM slot doubles up as the Ext SDRam slot - one or the other not both - what an epic fail !!!

Can't actually use the SDcard for backups or data or media - bit of a waste of space really. You need to root the phone and install SD Fix or similar.

It only works with 2.4GHz WiFi which is a disgrace given my ancient Xperia T covers 5GHz as well.

There is no real GPS only A-GPS which needs an internet connection to work - no good if you have a poor or zero mobile signal. This is really such a waste of time even implementing this instead of the real thing.

Only the Google versions of photo album and media player (which don't find local files), mail(gmail) , calendar, calculator etc are installed. If you like having to use a data connection and Google knowing everything you do then fine. I don't which means I have to install apps covering those functions. Shame I can't just install those I used on my Sony Xperia. If you already have favourites its not a big deal. If you don't then you have to start loading and trying out Apps to find the one you like.

Having set up the phone to your liking it would be nice to be able to save it that way. Which you can't without Rooting the phone.

To make the best of it you need to Root the phone - this is to be able to install effective anti-virus, firewall and anti-theft software. To be able to install Titanium Backup in order to actually backup the current state of the phone including apps and data to the SDcard as well as the cloud.

And remove the Apps that you don't use or don't care to have installed.

Would you use a PC without that type of software ? I suspect not - So why make a phone that you can't install the protective software on to ?

It is very simple to unlock the Bootloader and then Root the phone using SuperSU just using the phones developer options. No need to install ADB on the PC or install TWRP on the phone if you don't want to use a custom ROM. Unfortunately it invalidates the manufacturers warranties. :crying::crying::crying:

This could have so easily been a perfect phone, unfortunately a couple of poor cost cutting decisions have more or less ruined it.

Me ? I have already given away this phone after just 3 days, much to my disappointment.
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Demostrike:
Isn't A-GPS built on top of GPS and purely there for lock startup speed?
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] rivierakid:
You're right, this "review" is full of nonsenses :)

1. The SD card slot is shared with second SIM slot, it is right. But SD card can be use to backup data or to extend the internal storage space (marsmallow feature)! You don't really need root and SD fix...

2. A-GPS is used to improve startup speed, which is really impressive (snapdragon!)

3. Photo album and media player, mail, ...? You could install whatever you want, there is a google play store :)

4. Root. No phones come with builtin root, but if you really need it, it is possible and easy to install.

I believe that there will be a community CaynogenMod ROM in the future - just like for the original Wileyfox Swift 1...

I'm very satisfied with this phone. Yeah there are some drawbacks - it has only 720p display (instead of full HD), it can be a bit smaller (just like the previous Swift) and the CyanogenOS has some bugs (for example the theme provider is time to time crashing...), but I hope it will be fixed in the future...
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] bahjesaispas:
Even better

You can delete easily what you want with titanium backup. And whitout lag (not like a Miui rom).

The bootloader is probably one of the most easier than I've done in my life (not like a xiaomi one).

The SD cart can be use to save your backup, even my 128gb is working.

The screen it's just the perfect size & definition is the perfect combo for not to drain the battery.

Waiting the LineagOS for the marmite :fingers-crossed:
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Masteryates:
Just managed to pick up one of these practically brand new for only £100 for a friend.

Really nice build quality and look of the phone and packaging. CM13.1 looks nice and any bloat can be quickly disabled or even uninstalled. 3GB Ram is great as sitting here now, this phone has 2GB just sat there free. (Unlike the Nexus 9 for example!) If I was nit picking, the screen could be better and the fingerprint reader isn't as fast as my One Plus 3, (Not to be expected given the price.)

If I had this in front of me, a P9 Lite, and the standard Moto G4 for the same cash, I'd pick the P9 Lite due to its better screen. I'd pick this second due to the extra RAM and fingerprint reader, and the Moto last. If I had to pick a phone to last 2 years, I'd pick this over the P9 as CM13 is better than the strange Huawei stuff.

If Wileyfox could drop the price to £160, I think they'd be onto a real winner.
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] stevegtrlmk:
Just bought today can you give run down how to unlock bootloader:good:
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] MoHaG:
On the Nougat ROM:

Enabled developer options (tap build number several times)

Go to developer options

Enable the "OEM unlocking" option

Not so sure about the rest:

reboot into fastboot (adb reboot bootloader)

fastboot oem unlock

It seems like unlocking will wipe your phone... (At the fastboot step... I only recently got mine, haven't tried this yet)
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] SMessy:
Nope A-GPS is a cheap replacement for real GPS.

http://www.diffen.com/difference/A-GPS_vs_GPS

If you are running a WileyFox Swift with Cyanogen you will find that any of the GPS test apps will say there is no GPS.

A-GPS does NOT work without an internet connection.

Some phone use A-GPS to speed up their lock within built up areas.

Having said that the Swift running the Android v7.1.1 Nougat package the GPS has been enabled and the GPS Test tools now work.

Go figure why it wasn't enabled in the first place.
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] SMessy:
Yes I also like the phone and its even better running v7.1.1 Nougat - even though the Zen app is not needed.
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] finbaar:
Get your facts right, just about all phones use aGPS. And all phones lose updates when rooted. You make generic points and a tribute them to a particular device. Sad.
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] stevegtrlmk:
Reboot into fast boot is that within the phone or when your connected to computer :good:
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] MoHaG:
If you use the adb command, on the computer...

(I can reboot into bootloader from the advanced reboot menu on the phone as well)
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] stevegtrlmk:
Hey thanks unlocked boot but can't get twrp to flash. Download the newest marmite version put in adb folder tried to flash but nothing
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] image45:
Hi,

I choose to unlock my swift 2 bootloader and flash TWRP using fastboot commands. If you have unlocked bootloader then using minimal ADB and fastboot command use: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img replacing recovery.img with the one you downloaded. So mine was fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-marmite.img as I am on the current official build.
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] stevegtrlmk:
Thanks for that I have not tried yet but will do soon much appreciated:good:
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] stevegtrlmk:
Do you have to have the file on root of device or in the adb folder as I am just getting error cannot flash twrp
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] image45:
Minimal ADB and Fastboot is a PC based program. I have provided link below for you.

https://freeandroidroot.com/download-minimal-adb-and-fastboot-all-versions/

Once installed you place the file to be flashed in the program folder with the other installed core program files in directory.

If you run the program you get the command prompt window as displayed in post. This is where you run the Fastboot common I advised you about in earlier post.

So in the command window type and execute:

fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-marmite.img

Hi,

I'm looking for an affordable vr headset for my zte axon 7. has any of you guys got one that fits?

I'd like to get one from gearbest.com or similar . We have to take into account that the headset should not put pressure onto the power or volumes buttons.

I'd also like to have holes for the headphones and charging cable.

thx
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] VoidrayX:
ZTE has their own headset, I got it free as part of their promotion when I bought my Axon 7.

As for apps on the ZTEVR, the app provided is some custom version of VRSense made for ZTE, apps is quite limited and everything is in chinese though I tried some apps off play store for VR and they work, oh and did I mention it has pirated movies lol.

Quality wise its acceptable, dont expect too good experience since its a phone VR anyway. Not sure where you could buy them tho.

As for where to get them, you can try taobao or smth, some include the ZTEVR as gift when you buy Axon 7 from them (Cheaper today too cuz some 12/12 promotion UTC+8)

[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] borijess:
I want a VR headset where you don't have to remove your case every single time.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] Oki:
The Axon 7 new Nougat ROM has been certified by Google as Daydream compatible and it is about to be released. My advice is to wait for that. Cardboard is very limited. The new platform is far more powerful and in a few months nothing will be compatible with cardboard since new apps will require the new remote to interface with the software.

For cardboard, I have tested the Cynoculars. I bouth them for my daughter for less than $20 at Walmart and came with a bluetooth remote (not Daydream compatible of course). But my advice is to get the Google Daydream VR to be future-proof.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] djona12:
Best bet right now is to go for the Daydream View headset.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] borijess:
Can you use the Samsung VRs for daydream?
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] Oki:
No
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] LifeSupportZ:
vr headsets are not the same as daydream vr headset as far as i know.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] giblesnot:
You can use any headset for Daydream if you use a old/spare phone as the remote. There is an official emulator I believe that turns any phone running 4.4 or newer into a daydream remote.

I personally like the Bobo VR Z4 (apparently previous versions were trash). It has acceptable built in headphones (with volume control), a good range of focus (I wear glasses and I don't need them with this,) and adjustable interpupillary distance. IMHO the adjustments make it better than the daydream at 1/3 to 1/2 the cost. It is probably less comfortable for long viewing sessions than the daydream due to it's greater weight and slightly more rigid nose piece.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] max1001:
I have Bobo VR Z4, it works pretty well with Axon 7.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] Oki:
Well, not any phone can be setup as a remote, it must have a gyroscope and that is not included in many phones.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] giblesnot:
Ah. Good point. I had read that as meaning any 6 axis accelerometer. I see that it's much more restrictive than that. Fortunately my old HTC One S should work. If the 7.x update would hurry up and release.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] Oki:
If any of you are interested, Daydream View headset price is being reduced to $49 in the Google Store until February 25th

I bought Google Daydream VR headset.

Bestbuy had it for $50.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] RobboW:
So is Google Daydream still the way to go for this? I got an Aldi headset but it just works as cardboard. I can already see this will be good for watching movies with Axon 7 whilst flying. Need to be able to use earbuds with it to prevent disturbing other passengers though, and plug in a charge cable for powerbank.

Edit: After playing a movie from a cardboard vr app the phone got pretty hot. Had it on charge same time so it's just not practical as a more immersive movie viewing method. VR in a phone is sort of useless because of this. It worked fine though.

I think it needs a standalone headset with onboard processing and screens to unload the phone resources. No good having it if heat and battery consumption are too high.

Edit: Returned my Aldi (Cocoon) VR headset and got a Kaiser Baas VR-X Pro as it has a built in Bluetooth media controller.

https://www.jbhifi.com.au/cameras/camera-accessories/kaiser-baas/kaiser-baas-vrx-pro-goggles/975678/

I'm not into games but will persevere with movies. Actually looking to get a cheap pair of glasses specifically for this, maybe even just a pair of lenses with no frame so I can stick them to the inside of the lens frame in the VR-X Pro. It has good phone ventilation and easy access to the ports for headset and charge plus I like the clamp which is quick and easy and can keep the stock case on the phone. Might get a google daydream view once it's released here too.

Found a VR theatre app I like. It works with the media controller and has good settings to maximise the view.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] RobboW:
I think to run Google Daydream on a standard phone you will need a genuine Daydream View headset. Other headsets are Cardboard compatible but there seem to be a few versions of Cardboard standards.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] RobboW:
Ended up returning the VR-X Pro. It wasn't comfortable enough to wear for long and the controller kept disconnecting from my phone as a power saving feature, but that made it useless as a feature. I decided next I will try a Google Daydream View 2. It will be the most comfortable headset available and you can buy spare inserts so can wash them.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] RobboW:
Just for a short term solution, I got an actual cardboard headset today. Surprise, I can watch a movie with it perfectly without my glasses. Wasn't too hard on the phone either.

Made an online purchase of a Google daydream view for under AU$25 today. Telstra are getting rid of stock leading up to the release of daydream view 2.

Not sure the Axon 7 will even fit the original daydream view, especially in the Poetic Revolution case.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] Pruikki:
Bobo Vr Z4 or Z4 mini and Z5 with day dream or without. (Bobo VR Z5 supports daydream with controller, but has no NFC to instantly turn the DD app on,no biggie) Great headset!

those are proven to be decent VR headsets with good fov and comfort.

i got my self Bobo Vr Z4 Mini, cheap but same as others just no headphones.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] RobboW:
Got fed up with cardboard and discomfort, focus issues, inability to wear with glasses etc. Bought a daydream view 2. The Axon is a touch big but works fine in it. The V2 headset is comfortable, has an extra strap over the head, wider FOV, larger lenses and fits with my glasses ok. Focus, colour and clarity is good. With the poetic full case it's not a good fit but a tpu skin more like the stock zte one fits acceptably.

Pity the phone overheats on daydream, it is an interesting thing and the new headset is much better for movies than the original daydream view.

I am asking this because my phone sometimes bootlooping .

I cannot boot into recovery mode because my volume button is broken .

What I can do is reflashing the firmware and it requires me going to the cyber cafe . But I don't wanna do that . I found boot selector / manager / easy reboot but to use that I must boot into the device which is impossible because it is bootlooping .

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] SantinoInc:
I was rooted and on the Lamlazy ROM trying to get my Note 5 to work on MetroPCS. I wasn't able to get it working so I decided to just sell the phone on Ebay. The buyer requested that I return it to stock Sprint software.

I went into Odin and flashed "ALL_SPT_N920PVPS3BPJ2_N920PSPT3BPJ2_CL9010628_QB11176639_REV00_user_low_ship.tar" that I found online and it went through just fine. However, there is no Sprint bootanimation and all the garbage Spint Bloatware is nowhere to be seen. I even did a factory reset after the Odin flash. Still no Sprint boot or apps. Is it because there is no SIM card in the phone or did I FVCK something up somewhere?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] SantinoInc:
Anyone have any advice at all?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] exxTErno:
Yeap, I flashed the same firmware thru odin and the same thing, no sprint boot animation nor bloatware but for my understanding that´s a good thing, I mean, no sprint crapware to suck all your battery juice and no 3rd party apps to block them it´s a pretty damn thing.... not sure why you want to have them back...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] SantinoInc:
I hear ya but the buyer on eBay wants nice bloated Sprint crap
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] exxTErno:
Jajajajaja, guess your gonna have to flash a different firmware , any other one that don´t have the _user_low_ship.tar.

And just as a note, I also had Lamlazy Rom before going back to stock.

Good luck man!

What really sucks is that I never wanted to sell this thing but phone calls wouldn't go through on MetroPCS. Everything else did. Anyways, thanks for the jnput

Hi all. I tried both Action and Nova launchers and while I like both I'd rather just stick with the stock launcher. One thing I greatly miss though is the gestures, specifically the option to swipe down from anywhere in the home screen to expand quick tiles.
