[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] BJHiltbrand:
I have a daydream view and have been playing with it for a few weeks now. At first, it was underwhelming. A lot of the apps available are really gimicky. But, after taking the time to find apps that would suit me, I have really enjoyed it. I got the headset for 49 dollars when they went on sale recently, and I still feel like that price is a stretch. You are right, it really is just a couple of pieces of glass, cloth, and a bluetooth remote. There is a workaround, where you can use another phone as the remote and just use google cardboard for the viewing device. I did that at first, but it was difficult to use the phone as a controller, since you don't have the tactile feel of the buttons. As far as the phone goes, it gets pretty warm, Once, I made it to 53 degrees celsius. But, it didn't shut the phone down and that was a one-time thing. It hasn't been super warm since. I don't know if that helps.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Cyrus D.:
It does help, thanks. But I'm wondering, how long were you typical sessions, and what were you running?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] BJHiltbrand:
I usually use it for 45 minutes to an hour. I really have just been playing around with all sorts of apps. Most of those sessions were in the Netflix VR app and in a game called Archer E. Bowman. I have also used it for non-daydream apps like litchi for flying my phantom drone. Interestingly enough, the time that the phone got really hot, I had it plugged in and was using a non-daydream app (roller coaster VR).
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Cyrus D.:
Well it's not surprising at all that your phone was overheating considering you had it plugged in while using an app, nearly any phone would become really hot if you do that. These fast charging methods all (aside from Oppo/OnePlus's Dash Charging) do the voltage conversion in the phone, it's mind boggling how stupid that is, and yet that's how they work. Another thing that's infuriating to even think about is the internal design if you know what it is. I've seen an A7 taken apart and... it uses the BATTERY as a heatsink, yes the battery, the thing that degrades and loses maximum charge due to heat. The heat pipe is set up in a way to basically pass the SoC's heat directly to the battery. :eek:

So overall I guess what you're saying is good news, 45-60 mins typical usage and only overheating while having it plugged in is far better than all the reports I've seen about the Pixel/XL while using VR. Thanks once again.

I watched a two hour movie in two sessions, one with the phone plugged into a battery pack. It got warm, but nothing out of the ordinary. I would suggest the Full-size VR app for web browsing and viewing movies on the SD card.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] BritSwedeGuy:
The headset is definitely worth the money but the phone's power button is placed in the worst position possible - something that's true just for holding in the right hand as well!
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] chamilun:
got ours yesterday. Pretty interesting. very much in its infancy tho but you can see the potential. I agree about power button placement is a slight issue.

phone does get very warm. phone gave a warning once. I removed the case and that seemed to help. NOt really a big deal
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] rpsgrayfox:
I got the headset a couple of days ago because of the Nougat update, I've used it for playing games like need for speed VR and watching videos with YouTube VR and Skybox, also hooked it up to my PC to stream VR Games with trinus VR and such.

As someone who only had the original cardboard and then a cheap plastic headset, I'm in love with daydream, it doesn't compare at all to any full size VR like the Oculus or PlayStation VR but the quality is pretty good for a $50 device, I think it's worth it at this price.

On the performance side I was also worried because I've read the reviews and issues with the pixels but I have to say I'm amazed with the axon, it does get hot after a while but never had performance decrease, just a notification about the battery being hot, 53c (127f) was the highest I've had and that was after more than an hour of continuous VR usage. I was surprised that the phone cools down very quickly after exiting VR, ZTE has some great thermal management in this CPU, battery lasts long enough for my sessions of VR I've been getting like %25 drain for almost an hour in VR, so enough to watch a movie if at half battery most likely, but with QC 3.0 this is a none issue for me. People forget your phone is blasting away at full brightness, rendering 3D scenes with 3D positional audio while tracking every sensor and keeping an active low latency Bluetooth connection, NFC, a Cellphone connection and an Internet connection . I think it's pretty amazing.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Cyrus D.:
Well there's only a single company selling the thing on Amazon which I never heard of but I said screw it and ordered it because there was only 1 white one left and it's my last day of Amazon Prime. Hopefully it doesn't stain too easily... and Xposed arrives soon because I'm not upgrading to Nougat until it does.

Sorry I'm not sure what you're referring to when you say Full-size VR app, as I said I'm waiting on Xposed before upgrading to Nougat so I can't install Daydream apps yet.

Can't it just be placed in upside down so the strap doesn't press the power button?

Thanks for the detailed info. 53C should be perfectly fine, funny that's exactly what the first person reported as well. It's really high for a mobile device, but it shouldn't be dangerous... at least I hope the battery isn't that sensitive, because as I said they use the battery as a heatsink.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] adampdx:
Sorry, autocorrect. Fulldive app. I even changed that twice.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Cyrus D.:
Well I received mine today and there's still no sign of Nougat Xposed so I just used it without Daydream and I have to say:

Cons:

- The lenses are tiny and not adjustable, I was really hoping for better lenses since that's basically the entire cost of this thing.

- It's not exactly the most comfortable thing in the world, the strap sucks, it really needed to a top strap.

- It's designed for some sort of giant Neanderthal nose, it has so much room it could fit 2 of my noses in it.

- Putting the phone in upside doesn't always work since it can hit the volume button that way instead of power button, that and not all apps flip upside down.

- The "Snow White"/light gray looks nothing like the pictures, it's straight up grey.

Neutral:

- No app works perfectly well for it that I've seen yet, I might be forced to wait for Nougat/Daydream apps (I tried installing the apk, won't install on 6.0.1).

- The remote does nothing on 6.0.1 aside from connect.

Pros:

- The lenses are clear enough especially compared to the garbage plastic lenses others use, and it works for my eyes despite not being adjustable.

- Despite the sucky strap the fact that it's lighter than plastic models makes up a lot in the comfort department. That tiny difference in weight makes the device usable with that subpar strap.

Tl;DR - For a $100 device I expected a lot better quality, but this might be the best that can be had for the Axon 7, I guess I'm stuck waiting on Nougat Xposed until I find out just how good this thing is.

Fulldive is awkward and doesn't work for me. When you hold one position to select something, it doesn't work for whatever reason when I have the phone inserted in the DD View, it just does the loop/circle then nothing happens. If I have the phone out of headset then it works. Either way it doesn't seem like an easy to use app.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] adampdx:
I'm sorry that you've had a poor experience. I paid $50 for mine and find it comfortable, easy to wear for long periods of time, and the Daydream app performs very well. Fulldive is awkward, but once I learned how to properly use it, it made a world of difference.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] apocalypse_bg:
Hi, I'm really happy there is a discussion to the Daydream headset. I'm also sceptical on the quality (sure is better than cardboard...), but another thing is that besides the controller, I don't understand what's the hype about it? Seems pretty average, no top strap..

I'm also looking to get some VR for the Axon, however the ones that I've seen are really not optimal - all of them press either volume or in most cases the power button. I guess that the ZTE VR won't really be produced now with the Daydream support (or available to get in another way), so are there any feasible alternatives?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] rafabrasil85:
Hi. Does anybody have these problems with Daydream? Initial tiles doesn't load properly and install button on VR Play Store doesn't appear...

Please everyone interested in daydream on LOS vote for this bug https://jira.lineageos.org/projects/BUGBASH/issues/BUGBASH-284?filter=allopenissues
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Drackyen:
I have one, it's alright. No deal breakers, but it's not great either.

In terms of software, The apps are just not there yet. There are a ton of video portals, unfinished game demos, and apps that we already knew from Cardboard, and honestly not much else. I hear Samsung Gear VR has a much richer set of apps, so Daydream really needs to catch up. Add to that the Lineage OS issues (mentioned above), which exclude Daydream from working properly with LOS-based ROMs., and the software situation is not great. I think we need to give it some time.

In terms of hardware, it works but is quirky. Lack of a top strap is not great, leads to most people over-tightening the rear strap. The optics are okay, not great, with a 90 degree field of view - Better than most Cardboard clones, but well below dedicated headsets, or even Samsung Gear VR. Light can leak in from the back, but you can stuff a tissue or something between the side and the face pad to compensate. It's light and fairly comfortable, though, and gets the job done.

The remote works well, and the idea of putting a trackpad in your hand that can sense both taps and clicks, plus a pointer, gives you a lot to work with. It drifts, though, which means you'll be using that recenter function a lot.

Overall, while it may sound like I really don't like it, VR is really cool, and Daydream, for $50 (on sale), is a great way to jump into it. Just bear in mind that it feels like a promising beta more than a finished product.

To answer some of the questions and concerns in this thread:

The power button on the Axon 7 isn't really an issue. No, you usually can't put the phone in upside-down - Some apps will tell you to flip it when you try, others will have glitches like InMind 2 having upside down subtitles. Instead, just pull the latching band to the left a bit as you secure the phone, and it will clear the power button no problem. I believe the latest stock firmware disregards power button long-press when in Daydream mode, too, so there's that too.

Overheating is somewhat of an issue. If you use Daydream for gaming for an hour straight, yeah the phone gets hot - 63C or so is the highest I've seen, and I use the included case which may trap in more heat too. It hasn't been a problem affecting performance, and while the battery does drain fast, it's not really draining faster than you would with a more traditional game.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] norgan:
I'm actually surprised at how little battery is used considering the heat it puts out.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] ackliph:
I like it. I think it works smooth. Mostly good for watching movies or shows. Not a lot of games available.

Note: It exacerbates the Do Not Disturb issue. It, just like the schedule, can turn it on but can't turn it off. Disable the access to prevent the issue.

Hi, were you able to fly your DJI drone in VR with the google daydream? I have looked everywhere on the web for answers but couldn't find anything!
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] 0Kajuna0:
You need the (paid) Litchi app for that. I do it with my Mavic: https://youtu.be/6BtJWm3m8s8?t=2m40s

It works well. Transitioning from line of sight to FPV while in the air made me a bit nervous the first time. Best (and in many places mandatory) to have someone with you keeping line of sight.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] RonnaldReeds:
Google Daydream And Litchi App

Awesome, yes I know of the Litchi app I was just wondering about the Google Daydream goggles since I couldn't find someone on the internet who uses them, and since they don't have a focus wheel I wondered if the VR in the litchi app will be in focus and not double vision.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] 0Kajuna0:
yes, focus is fine, just like any other VR app :)

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mailpopper:
I have a first gen FireTV running 51.1.1.0 that had its memory 98% full. I did an Analyze in ES File Explorer that showed most of it was taken up by "other". I figured it was thumbnails from Kodi, but I couldn't find them on the FireTV box. I looked through all the folders and still haven't been able to identify where all this storage is being consumed. I finally just deleted Kodi entirely. That got me to 88% full, but I still have 4.5 GB of "other" data usage according to ES.

I can and will do a complete refresh of the FireTV if I have to but would really rather not go through the whole rooting process again. But, first I'd like to ask if ANYONE has any suggestions for how I can get this data off my firetv and free up much needed space. I have very few other apps on the box and feel it's some remnant from Kodi, but I just can't figure out what to delete now that Kodi is not even on the box anymore.

Thank you all for any advice or suggestions. The fireTV box has become almost unusably slow now.

Cheers.

[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] Jaxidian:
Are there any modern AOSP'ish ROMs that support OTAs for the 5x?

By this, I mean regular and fairly effortless ROM updates that don't require "rooting and rom'ing" experience. I've rooted/rom'd since my G1 but I don't do it for other peoples' phones because of the tech support issue. However, this EMUI software is just terrible and I have a buddy who wants to give it a try but is looking for a decent self-maintaining ROM with it's own OTA system. Is anything available for the 5x? I've seen these types of systems in the past but it's never been something I've paid much attn to as I just flash the good old fashioned way via TWRP.

Yes, I know "What is the best rom?" type questions aren't welcome here but that's not what I'm asking. I'm just asking for some help finding AOSP'ish ROMs that have this feature. Help's appreciated since I don't own this phone myself to try things out with! :)

It seems the

M9+ Supreme Camera

from Taiwan have received months ago the Marshmallow upgrade, while the ones from Hong Kong are still stuck on Lollipop.

I have contacted HTC and they do not have a date for the latter to start being upgraded, as the lady there replied to me: "We regret to inform you that there is no clear update schedule to Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) at the moment."

So, here's a little poll:

: if you own this model, have yours been upgraded to Marshmallow already? And where is your phone from (Taiwan or Hong Kong) and where do you live, in case it's been upgraded given the country the phone is actually in?

I CANNOT GUARANTEE YOU A PERFORMANCE BOOST AFTER THIS,

THIS KERNEL IS JUST AN EXPERIMENT WHICH SUCCEEDED

Mini Features

Disable ZRAM for reduced CPU loads

Reason:

Enabled ZRAM can improve memory usage in a cost of high CPU load.

Since cgroups and ksm is already enabled in MM, I don't think we need more memory management,

we need CPU optimizations more since CM13 is pretty laggy

Set Deadline as default scheduler

Reason:

Measurements have shown that the deadline scheduler outperforms the CFQ scheduler for certain multithreaded workloads

Bugs

Same as CM13, RIL takes a long time to work.

Installation Instructions

Download and put the zip in your phone

You must use an SELinux enabled recovery. I recommend TWRP 3.0.2

Go to recovery and flash the downloaded zip

Reboot

Is the cpu_freq driver enabled?

Any custom frequencies?

I don't have cm13 right now :(

Is there any improvement after installing that kernel?

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Star] RJinxed:
it wasnt enabled in cm14.1 so, nope. also ive no plan of adding it since i experience alot of freezes from it (from lahkedas overclocked kernel) especially when playing videos. it freezes halfway through.

also, I experienced a slight boost. It's not as fast as cm11/slimkat but I feel it's way faster than the original cm13. I cant say itll work the same for you tho.
[Samsung Galaxy Star] BatDroid:
disable memory allocation for camera and enable cpu_freq driver.

Hope there wont b any lags and hangs.

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] veer10:
I'm trying to install TWRP on my 10 since it's working for Nougat now. Problem is, the flash failed due to S-ON. The instructions for Sunshine state that after S-OFF, you need TWRP to remove encryption from the device, by wiping data and performing a factory reset. That's a bit of a dilemma, whole reason I'm doing this is to install TWRP.

If it makes any difference, I'm rooted using Chainfire's SuperSU method which bypasses TWRP. The recovery is "stock" but tweaked by CF to load SuperSU binaries and such.

Can I use my "stock" recovery to remove encryption after S-OFF, or am I in a bit of a bind?

As I posted in your other thread, you don't need S-off to flash twrp, just need an unlocked bootloader which you said you already have. Just follow the instructions from the twrp thread.
