[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] azpatterson3:
If you want good Dev, ROM support., go with 3t. That is my biggest disappointment with the A7. This could change in the near future but it may not. Don't get me wrong, the A7 is a really good phone but if I had to choose again, I would sacrifice resolution and SD card for more Dev support.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] bonk3rzzz:
I don't see much changing as far as dev support goes for the Axon. With the death of CM it becomes even more unlikely that devs are gonna pick it up for development. It's about 6 months since release now and there is barely anything for the Axon so we'll have to be really optimistic to see anything change now. The main difference here is not aftermarket support, but the support from the in house devs of OnePlus and ZTE. And OnePlus is way more mature in that aspect. Mifavour is not half as bad but it will eventually wear you down.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] nonlose:
Hmm, what bugs are you talking about? I've had mine for 3 months now and I haven't had any problems with it. Care to elaborate?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] lafester:
There is no "death of cm" just a name change. Also no way did this get released in June... More like Sept for most people.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Zub236:
As an axon 7 owner since release date, I would HIGHLY recommend getting the 3t. Broken promises from ZTE are my biggest issue. I got this phone for the sole reason of being an unlocked phone with wifi calling on t mobile. They have promised the update "coming soon" since before the phone came out.

On the up side, the hardware is great on this phone. Software, however, is a different story. The latest issue is that if you're playing music, whenever the screen locks, the music stops. Only way to fix it is to reboot the phone.

I certainly hope that things change with the nougat update, but I've lost faith entirely with ZTE.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] bonk3rzzz:
LineageOS will take time to become what CM is today. By that time Axon 7 will be too old. The reason why CM is significant is because it catered to many non-mainstream/mid-range/lesser-known phones. Let's face it Axon is one of them. Even if LineageOs or any other spiritual successor of CM comes by I would highly doubt that the Axon will be picked for development. It's hasn't happened yet.

CM is indeed dead, especially for now, for all phones that have a small user base and effectively little motivation for devs to take up.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] lafester:
This is entirely untrue. Not sure where you are getting your info from.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] bonk3rzzz:
It's certainly not "info" but more of an inference :)

And as far as sources for the inference goes, this is a good read. I believe in the dev community, I'm sure something in the essence of CM will come through, but i doubt soon enough.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] lafester:
Not saying that there won't be any bumps in the road but progress for this device continues as we speak.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] bonk3rzzz:
Yeah I agree. Unjustified Dev has being doing amazing work on his part but I cant help but feel its been a lone ranger effort without much help from ZTE. The said progress hence takes that much longer.

Not trying to be pessimistic, but if you take into account the fragmentation in development within the variants of Axon 7 itself, you'll understand my inference. I have a G model that has not even seen the WIP version of CM that the U model has.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] xtermmin:
Just FYI, the G model can run the WIP CM13 and official TWRP builds fine. There's no need for a separate build for the G model.

---------- Post added at 01:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:18 PM ----------

On the A7, the whole death of the Cyanogenmod name means very little. The work that Udev and the other devs have been putting into CM13 will continue, and none of the work/people have been lost.

The only thing this means is an extra entry in the to-do list: apply LineageOS branding.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] puremind:
I think Europeans who bought their phone in the last few weeks have had a better experience overall because they immediately benefitted from the fixes that took time to get developed in the US version.

Right now (on European B08) I don't have only a couple of things thing that annoy me, which are not really bugs:

I am not able to swipe through ZTE locker wallpapers when notifications are on screen - and some notifications can't be swiped away (e.g. battery apps).

I am not able to retrieve collection wallpapers from any date if I want to

The natural color space does not follow sRGB standard, it is the same oversaturated color space as the other color modes (with different saturations only for intermediary colors)

There is no always-on-display to see notifications when the phone is being moved or using the proximity sensor

The gallery has a confusing layout, as picture folders look like pictures themselves.

As a color blind person the dialer app's mute / speaker buttons are hard to see on some picture backgrounds as the circles are too thin, I can't tell whether they are on or off, this is especially annoying for the mute button as I have to mute and unmute often for work

There is no SoT indicator in the default battery overview.

Ah yes maybe there is 1 bug, Dolby reverts to Movie when I put headphones on and off (at least I think that's when it does it)

I am looking and looking and I can't find anything else in my own use of the phone
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] TU Homer:
I love the hardware on the Axon 7. I just bought it to replace a very beat up Note 3, rooted, optimized, with apps that I actually wanted on there. However, that old Note 3 had been dropped a dozen too many times, and was starting to not function properly. It got to the point that I could no longer charge it outside an external battery charger. Not good.

So, I got the Axon 7 based on the hardware specs, specifically the audio. I read reviews that put it just above most of the 820 phones in terms of raw performance. At $345, with a warranty that was excellent, I bought it.

The Chinese bloat is so bad, I'm considering a return. I've had a bunch of apps just show up on my phone. I cannot disable them. I cannot uninstall them. I don't actually want to root the phone, since I like the notion of using Android Pay. However, I'm not apt to load up Android Pay on this phone with the mystery apps that I cannot control.

In hindsight, I should have sprung for the HTC 10 or the OP3T. I don't know. Maybe not. I'm just a little freaked over the Chinese bloat.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] effluent:
So... Random apps just show up on your phone at different times?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Cyrus D.:
What version of the A7 do you have? I have the NA version (2017U) and I haven't experienced such a thing. It sounds like your phone might have a virus/malware, unless the Chinese or European versions do that.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] xtermmin:
Just curious, but what apps "just showed up"? Do you mean that apps that were not installed by default, and you did not install, showed up on your phone days after you began using it? If so, what apps? Sounds like you might have installed an app that downloads and installs other apps.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] TU Homer:
About 5 or 6 apps related to Touchpal.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] xtermmin:
Those are language packs for the Touchpal keyboard, and they were installed on the phone by default. I was able to disable them on B29 fine.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] effluent:
Does the US version come with a case? I read somewhere else a comment that made it sound like it doesn't but other versions do.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] donalgodon:
The A7 and OP3T are cheap enough that you could get both for the price of most "flagships."
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] tolymatev:
My US version came with a case.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] MrWilsonxD:
Lol... People see one app outside the stock Android ones and start screaming their heads off about "worst bloatware ever. AWMG bloat is so bad." :laugh:

I have both the axon 7 and oneplus 3.

Bloat on axon is not bad. A few of them can be straight up uninstalled without root. Hardware is completely on point. Phone stays cool with prolonged use. Speakers sound great! Dev community is small now. Battery life is amazing.

The same goes for the oneplus 3, little bloat, amazing battery life, cleaner ui, HUGE development community. Mediocre speaker, ordinary dac.

With that being said, when I go out the phone that NEVER gets left behind is the axon. Even though I enjoy having my SIM inside the oneplus 3, the axon is never left at home/in the car.

On the contrary when I do pop SIM in the axon, I'll frequently leave my oneplus behind. Just because as far as everyday use goes, there's more I can personally enjoy on my Axon than my oneplus 3.

Either way, you'll have some freaking amazing phones. Both of these phones are extraordinary devices. Disregard people who tell you otherwise. If you do go axon, get the US variant.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] TU Homer:
If you happen to referencing my concerns, I hardly said it was the worst bloatware ever. Don't mean to piss on your point, but my concern is the suddenly appearing Chinese bloatware. Not sure what it does. There is no way to remove or even disable it without rooting my phone. If you know of a way i can get rid of it, or even disable it, please point out.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] MrWilsonxD:
No, I wasn't talking about you specifically. Your post was well said. There are a lot of people on the forums that just hold a negative opinion on anything that's not 300% stock Android and if any additional apps are included. These sentiments degrade the amazing abilities of both the Axon 7 and oneplus 3[T].

However, some of the outrage is warranted. As you mentioned some of that Chinese bloatware does behave maliciously, sending sensitive data to Chinese servers. There was an xda article about it a few weeks ago. But the US variant of the Axon does not have said bloat, nor does the oneplus 3.

Yeah! You I've heard you can remove it through adb. There's some videos on YouTube that show you how.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] TU Homer:
Cool, I'll look up methods of removing it
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] rpsgrayfox:
Here's my 2 cents. I've had the OnePlus 1, OnePlus 3, Nexus 6 and now the Axon 7, I don't understand the hate for the Axon 7 UI (MiFavor) it's pretty Stock-ish and I really appreciate the extra functions, specially battery wise, it tells you what app is draining and why, even provides a button to kill it right from the status bar, no need for BBS or wakelock detector. (You can disable the function if you don't like it).

And power management is a lot better than whatever OnePlus has stock. And even with all the custom kernels and Roms I tried. I get a lot more usage with the Axon 7 than I ever did with the OnePlus 3

Camera quality isn't as good as the OnePlus 3 or 3T (same sensor afaik) it's about 5 to 15% worse depending on lighting conditions, nothing major, but the camera software on the Axon 7 is leaps better than OnePlus, much more mature in my opinion.

The Axon has a much better screen in terms of definition, color accuracy is better on OnePlus with its SRGB mode although if you set the Axon to warm and natural it is a lot better than most of AMOLED screens out there in terms of color accuracy.

Sound is just amazing on the Axon 7, anyone I've shown it to is just blown away, it's super loud without being harsh, makes watching anything fun with no need to cup the speaker in a loud environment or worrying about covering the speaker when holding the phone in landscape mode. The OnePlus 3 is loud and bright but it really can't compete with the Axon 7, I think few if no other phone can.

As for warranty and support I've never had to deal with any of them so far, but ZTE offers an extra year of warranty in comparison to OnePlus.

I've had better coverage and LTE speeds with the Axon 7 on T-Mobile in the US. The Axon has expandable storage but you can't install apps on it (which I believe is perfectly fine, think SSD for OS and HDD for media on a PC).

Quick charge on both perform about the same, OnePlus being a bit faster but Dash is not as commercially available as Quick Charge 3.0 for the Axon 7, and the Axon has USB 3.0, so USB charging and file transfer to and from internal storage is up to 2 times faster in my experience.

All in all I'm absolutely happy with the Axon 7 over the OnePlus 3T, I feel that it has a lot of extra features that make it a bit more future proof in spite of the underwhelming refresh the OnePlus 3T Is. Besides you get more features for less money which was why I jumped on with OnePlus since the beginning, but seems like ZTE is doing that now.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] Grumpycat62:
So, on my phone, I use this app called YaV1, which allows me to monitor different bands and alter various functions on my radar detector. The detector being a Valentine One, with the Android Bluetooth Module. I notice that in my android headunit, when I scan, the radar detector appears as a phone, rather than an OBD device, or the like. Is there any way I can get these two paired? Also, worth mentioning is that on my phone it prompts me for a passcode, in this case, it's "1234". So if anyone on here can be of ANY HELP at all it'd be greatly appreciated, and I'm open to any and all suggestions.

[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Isus <3:
What will improve and should I do it? I've seen that booting up takes longer but I can live with that, what bothers me is performance in system and I'm not really worried of someone spying on me
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] 954wrecker:
Try it, but you probably won't notice a difference. Other than the difference in boot times they felt the same in performance. I tried both ext4 and f2fs and couldn't see a performance difference either. F2fs uses more of the storage so I switched back to ext4 and got an extra 2 or 3 gigs of storage back.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] GioBozza:
Theoretically yes but practically no. In newer phones such as the OnePlus 3T you won't really notice the difference.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Michalko5896:
Yes, but you won't notice it. Performance impact of encryption is negligible.

Encryption (at least fde encryption in Android) is about protecting your data when you lost your phone, not about protecting you from spying. Think about it that way, losing your phone is a bad thing but losing your phone AND your all your data (your contacts, chat, sms, mms, photos, call logs, app data, banking data, browser history..) is much worse. Why would you put your data in such a risk? Don't do it, it is not worth it.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] GioBozza:
That's it. Also, a lot of developers keep disabling encryption in their ROMs without a reason. Since encryption has become a standard in Android, CPUs have adopted lot of changes to bring the performance impact almost to zero.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] secXces_debaki:
Just look at that link... For f2fs vs ext4

Edit: if u write a big file on ur phone it need to be encrypted, so it takes more time. So basically decrypt is way faster, but u will not see any difference.

The only reason to decrypt that I can think of is to use MultiROM.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] secXces_debaki:
Kk. If u test both, f2fs and ext4 u will see a big difference in app opening or switching apps. F2fs is way faster. :) but that shouldn't be discussed in that thread.

[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] eddymonti:
I remember reading somewhere that the SD821 has hardware encryption, unlike any earlier chip. Which means the chip is taking care of it, and not the software... eliminating any slowdown of encrypted vs not encrypted.

Can someone confirm?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] michelD:
Yes, indeed I confirm : I made the comparison on Oxygen 3.5.4 and there's absolutely NO difference neither in day to day usage, neither in benchmarks.

The only reason I took the decision to not encrypt is multirom.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] GioBozza:
I'm not sure about a cryptography ASIC in SD821 (at least I've never heard of it), but ARMv8 has a set of instructions made for cryptography and that makes newer Android phones around 10x faster in software encryption.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Isus <3:
Ok thanks for the answers guys.. I remember when I had nexus 5 when I encrypted my phone it did slow down so I thought it was the same on this phone

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Curtis1973:
Well out of all the years I have bought,rooted and modded android devices I have never asked a help question here on xda. I tried everything first and usually that led me to where I wanted to be. Well Alcatel has made it nearly impossible for me to get much further without seeking out those who may know more. So here's the dilemma. I own the Alcatel A621BL also known as the One Touch Pixi Glory. I can not gain access to fastboot using adb nor button combos on this device. Button Combos that are common just cause device to reboot. ADB commands for rebooting to bootloader cause nothing more than a device reboot. Using fastboot and its commands just give a waiting for devices message and that's it. I have correct drivers installed on PC. adb detects device fine but cant reboot to fastboot. Cant figure out a workable root method on the device without access to bootloader. Because this device checks for changes upon reboot and just deletes them after using apps like kingroot,etc. Can not edit the boot image and flash it or anything else without access to fastboot. In developer options there is the option to oem inlock but ticking it on or rather allowing unlock seems to make no difference. I did speak with others who suggest the MSM8909 chipset may be the reason for lack of fastboot access. Seems Alcatel is going in a direction which will cause them to lose some sales due to this policy. Anyone got any suggestions,ideas or anything else on this issue?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lehmancurtis:
I've got the 5041 Tetra which run on a mediatek chipset and have used fastboot on several msm8909 devices. My Tetra's fastboot was locked down via ota update. I believe it is the phone service providers locking us out.

[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickelocene:
I've been using the Fire HD 8.9 (Jem) with CM (a 2015 version of CM 12.1) with TWRP 2.7.0 without much of a problem. Yesterday, I flashed the latest CM12.1 nightly (20161216 version) using the same TWRP successfully. After the initial loading, I tried to factory reset the tablet. Once the pad restarted, it goes into the TWRP startup screen, and doesn't load the touch interface. The startup screen will flash every 5 seconds or so. I can't go back to normal boot either. Can anyone help? Thanks.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wicozani:
Have you fixed this yet?

If not, I'm not certain, but could be a mismatch between your older TWRP version and the most recent CM12.1 nightly. Can you actually use TWRP? Did you make a backup prior to installing the newest CM version (always imperative to do)? If so and TWRP works, simply wipe everything and reinstall your backup. Then first update TWRP (I'm using v 3.0.0) by multiple methods and try again. Does you computer still see your Kindle? If so, download a newer version of TWRP to your computer, transfer it to the Downloads folder of your "SD Card" on internal storage, and flash from there using TWRP. Try to keep plugged in so that battery stays in good shape.

If you can't use TWRP, you'll have use Fastboot to flash a newer TWRP version from your computer. Look for instructions on how to setup and then use Fastboot if you've never used this before. Some drivers that your computer may or may not have will be required. Good luck!
