[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] mitchelln:
The only thing I can think of is the beta might be based on a US build and may not have the WhatsApp fix that is present in the official 7.0 G build. (although it appears fine for me in 7.1.1, but then I'm primarily a text and link share only type user).

They have fixed the bloody annoying bug where the ZTE locker used to accumulate hundreds of megabytes of wallpaper images because you could only see and manage the last 20 images it had downloaded in the settings GUI. Now it just downloads 20 max and only gets new ones if you delete any.

It all seems very stable. The build is only a couple of weeks old. The security patch level is 1st of March as well, so I can't imagine it will be more than a few minor bug fixes and tweaks now. Main thing for me is they've enabled phone encryption now. It's worth it just for that.

The delay is probably more around certification and licensing checks than anything else. You can't just chuck a major release out in Europe without sign off from all sorts of people.

BTW, the camera app has a couple of nice new tweaks (well, I've certainly never noticed them before!) e.g. you can just turn on the flash LED and adjust its brightness to light a scene before taking shots or video. Handy little feature for low light situations or when you just want some fill in light.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] rolfey83:
I don't suppose the camera has raw mode? I love this phone but the camera is poo. I'm sure its not all hardware but image processing, god knows how they went about it, but it didn't work.

Also the image to a degree can only be at best as good as the lense, so raw mode should give us near to what its capable of.

Mike
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] hkdaigi:
Whatsapp problems seem to be solved due a Whatsapp update!

No raw mode here.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] mitchelln:
No RAW mode in the beta. But who's RAW format would they use? Canon's? Sony's? Adobe's? Or do their own and have to provide plug-ins for Photoshop etc?

What you have to remember is camera performance is largely down to software algorithms. Especially things like focusing and low light. These algorithms are invariably patented and licensed off the likes of Sony and Apple. The only other choice is to try to develop it yourself, which will take time, cost money and have to skate around patents.

One of the primary reasons the Axon 7 is so astonishing cheap for the spec is because they have avoided paying expensive licenses.

I actually think they have taken some licence hit for this as the camera quality noticeably jumped in quality when I did the MM B15 update the day after buying the phone.

What I wished ZTE did was offer the licenses as an add ons. If you want better low light then you pay the $20 for the licence, for example.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] rolfey83:
My understanding was the US version does have raw?

Mike
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] mitchelln:
Fingers crossed then! :)
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] libs45:
on the German forum, ZTE said RAW would not be included in the official 7.1.1 update, but would follow in a later update..

translation from forum:

Hi

Unfortunately the upcoming update will not save the save as RAW file yet, but this will be possible in one of the soon to follow versions!

Please be patient, the function comes!

Does anyone using android Wear app because it's not working to me at all with 7.1.1 beta?

I've try both previous from December version and current from February and just don't work.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] libs45:
Hi, i'm running the Beta, and my android wear app (Huawei watch) is running fine, didn't have to reinstall anything, in fact, the only slight issues i've had, are small freezes when sending pics in whatsapp and Android pay failed to work with an error message saying something to do with it not working on rooted devices (i haven't rooted my device)

I try ro flash the System on my Axon 7 but it doesnt work in TWRP if i click the restart Button it says: i do not have a System installed. Do anyone have the same Problem or anyone who can help me?

Thanks
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] tangkhg:
Anyone else here who has installed the leaked 7.1.1 notice that when making/receiving phone calls, often the mic doesn't work so people can't hear you? Doesn't happen all the time, but when it does I have to hang up and retry like several times before the other person can hear me!
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] SilentEYE:
Just continue anyway. The system is installed.

First boot takes time.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] mitchelln:
Hi. I'm not seeing this problem.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] MrMD69:
I have same issue on 7.0.0 :(
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] joaste:
I didn't notice this either.

I did however have the screen turn on during calls and had to move the phone away from my ear and then back for it to turn off again. This happened quite frequently. Never noticed it on 6.0.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] rolfey83:
I have now noticed this too, people can't hear me talking, buy when they call me its fine.

Mike
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Galaxo60:
Anyone who can confirm if we got back the shortcut for camera?.

Pressing 2 times vol down should open the camera, as with any Android nowadays, but ZTE decided to remove this last year, which I find pretty stupid.

They said they were giving it back in a later update, so I would like to know if it's back on Nougat.

:confused:
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] paatha13:
There's a hidden option for enabling double tap power button and opening camera on beta 7.1.1

That's how enable it even doing hard reset after upgrade.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3XmNnH2SPVw&time_continue=1

Personally I switch to German to activate it because at English couldn't find it.

After activating return to English.

PS many credits to the user for the very useful tip.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] rolfey83:
So a bit behind on this thread, is 7.1.1 actually officially released now, or still beta?

Mike
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] danct2005:
Still beta
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Oliver Aa:
If you use the Nova Launcher to create a widget/activity., you get a tons of options you can create via the widget. For example, Wi-Fi calling, double tap shortcut to camera, most of them are probably the options there are enabled in the US rom.

Forgot to say I got the A2017G with 7.1.1 leaked.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] rolfey83:
And what's your experience so far?

On 7 I have phone call issues where the other person can't hear me.

Mike
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Oliver Aa:
I would go for 7.1.1, i was on 7.0 before, and this is much better until we get the. final version from zte.

I got better call reception and much better voice calls. Very good standby battery use, but seems to use more power under normal use. 6.0.1 was better battery wise. I tried an Antutu benchmark and got 154854 in score.

Just remember to reset phone, and best clean sd card from old system and app remnants.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Chinesur:
I am on pure stock 7.0.0 B01 and I also experience MANY of my calls where the other person can't hear me. It is very VERY annoying since... the Axon 7 is... a phone..

Anyone has resolved this?

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] rolfey83:
So I've upgraded to 7.1.1, not done a factory reset yet, I'll see how it goes. If its looking unstable then I will.

So far I've not done a single factory reset yet on any updates and its served me well, so we'll see.

Mike
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] rolfey83:
So far everything is really smooth, the audio is still loud however the Dolby Atmos no longer works at all, when you turn it on it goes quieter again, and this time the EQ has no effect.

External speaker sound is great though.

Low res pictures

Could you please post some full res pictures in low light taken with the updated firmware? Thanks
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] JLLE:
I Don't care to have Nougat quickly, my ZTE working fine with the B11 and it's the most important. It's just a smartphone and lots of things are more important than an update to complain.

Well the update is there to download though
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Galaxo60:
I will post them on the Low Light thread, but do you want manual or auto mode?.

:confused:

As the guy said, the update is there and anyone can install it. Personally, I haven't had better performance and battery life than with this update, B02 is smooth as hell.

:D
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] vortex-:
Both would be great :) , I am curious if the photos are now sharper.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Galaxo60:
I will post them later, and for me B02 improved image quality noticeably and auto focus is faster. One thing I noticed is that if you take a picture in Manual mode, and then you take the same one on Auto mode, the difference between files is around 30%. Just now I took a picture, and on Auto is 5MB and in Manual 7MB, but I can't see difference in quality between them.

:confused:
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] vortex-:
I couldn't wait anymore so I got myself an A2017G :) . It shipped with B08 but then got upgraded to B11. Photos in the daylight look very nice - very sharp, even in the corners (unlike in some reviews that I saw).

Sometimes, the exposure is too high or too low, but that can be adjusted quickly with the focus ring.

Remains to be seen how low light pictures look like.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Galaxo60:
The blurry thing got fixed a couple of months ago, and actually besides the auto and manual, it seems that manual is better and sharper, even if you let all the settings ins Auto, and that's why the difference in file size between the 2 pictures.

;)
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] vortex-:
In very low light conditions, auto mode selects way too much ISOs. In manual with less than half the ISOs, the images are much better. I will post some examples compared to the LG G4 in the next days (spoiler alert: in good light conditions, I find the ZTE much better but in the dark it's the other way around).
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] vortex-:
I posted some full res pictures in the low light thread, I thought it would be more on topic there:

Ok since you rooted yourself it's going to show the update. Roms like https://xdaforums.com/sprint-galaxy-s5/development/rom-g900p-pk1-stock-deodexed-marshmallow-t3521415 the developer disable the update notice for that.

But how can I take the update? What's it about? Is there any new feature that we're probably missing?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zune70:
No you can't take the update unless you unroot. All the new updates for this phone are all security updates and that's it. There's no new features of your on 6.0.1. Anything past pca roms were just security updates. Sprint has been releasing new updates every month for this device but it's all security updates.

I got that issue when i got out of miui. Fix it by flashing a custom kernel (Radon in my case)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] TechNova:
Missing camera sensor libs probably (NOT the fixed patch).

Head on to Agni N kernel thread, download camera libs zip from there and flash it, ur rear cam shud probably work again.

After that, if u face any issues related to crash or something, flash that cam fix patch.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] SaHeEl9:
Hey thanks this one worked for me :)

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] SaHeEl9:
Hey , there is this new problem that arose here.

So i have a Goodix fingerprint so i'v been using a XOSP patch for it to run on all Nougat roms.

This fix you gave me worked perfectly when i flashed them on any custom kernel (in my case Radon), but this seems to disable my fingerprint sensor.

And when i make the fingerprint work, the camera gets back to what it was earlier, i mean without the rear camera.

These both features are not working at the same time for me.

Please help me with this :crying:

Thanks in advance ;)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] TechNova:
Try flashing stock kernel first using twrp image flashing option(extract bootimg from rom's zip), flash cam libs and boot once

If all works fine, then flash radon and check.

I dont know if it will work but give it a try.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] darkmuck:
Within the past few days I've noticed that me x727's battery has been draining quite a bit faster. Always at the top of the list in battery stats is System Service. I always have location services and Bluetooth disabled. Has anyone had a similar issue and figured out the exact cause?

edit: I just came across this post from someone else who has Mint SIM and they suggested entering the APN values manually instead of using what the network gives your phone automatically. https://community.zteusa.com/thread/13643#74674. So far it seems like phone is holding a data connection immediately after Wi-Fi disconnect, but time will tell how battery life will be.

edit 2: manually setting the apn values using what Mint Sim provides on their website has completely foxed the issue! My battery life is back to normal and my data connection holds normally again.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] crazy1990:
I have this exact same problem, but with location services on. Also, I had Android OS draining the battery. I don't know what is causing these issues. Hope someone can find the problem.

[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] Joms_US:
- So enable background resource control if you disabled it before via *#46360000#*#*

- Limit the apps (particularly LeEco apps) running on start-up via Permissions setting

- Limit the apps showing notifications via Notification management
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] crazy1990:
Disabling the background resource control cause the System service and Android OS to ramp up? I disable it, because of notification issues with gmail, whatsapp, hangout, and outlook mail. Notification only works when I open the app. Other than that, notification never works.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] Joms_US:
My notifications (gmail, yahoo mail, work email, messenger, hangout) are perfectly fine with Background Resource Control enabled.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] crazy1990:
Really? Did you change any setting in the phone manager app or something like power saving management, auto launch, align wakeup, etc? Or you leave everything alone as default? I had this issue since 19s. Lol. I might be missing something. :(
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] Joms_US:
I made sure the apps that send notification will auto-launch (Permissions menu) and they can notify (Notifications Management menu) and Important Notice star enabled as well. Google sync should be enabled under Account Management and some apps like Gmail have Sync options that should be enabled as well.

Align Wakeup and Ultra Long Standby both disabled and mine is running stock 21S.

And oh notifications are also coming thru my Gear Fit2 for convenience. =D

HTH
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] crazy1990:
Thanks for the help. I recently change the setting and will test it for a couple of days.

[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] Incogn:
Its common issue if you browse various forums, many users with many different devices has this issue. Ofcourse google could optimise system better, but 90% of times its due to user configuration/buggy apps. First thing i would do is turn off backup under settings and location history.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] darkmuck:
It does seem to be a common issue from what i've found in my own research, however the issue seems to have gotten a lot worse on my device in the past few weeks for an unknown reason.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] Incogn:
I can guarantee you its your configuration fault. Its either buggy app, a buggy app or data restore, or buggy system service not letting device sleep properly. As i said earlier, i would start by disabling backup under settings, also location history reporting. Thats 2 things known to cause these problems. If that doesnt help would start looking into apps, 1 by 1. Safest way is to just clean flash or factory reset, then turn off backup and location history, and before installing any app or backup, i am 100% sure, the phone will sleep as a baby. Then start installing apps and look for culprit if its there.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] Tyhn:
I can confirm, that disabling location service (and location history) is a solution for battery draining. When I disable it in system settings, problem gone.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] marik1:
So, our device have bugged location service, or is invigilated all the time?
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] Incogn:
No i use location all the time no problem, location history on the other hand, is known as culprit on many cases.

Not normal, which app or mail server? Mine is always instantaneous.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] crazy1990:

Freezing Geofence by Root Uninstaller or Titanium backup helped a lot. Not yet 100% as before, but a very notable improvement.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] benjmiester:
On past phones like my Galaxy S6, this was always coming from 1 of two places.... 1) VOLTE / HD calling or 2) Google's location history under location settings. Turn it off and see if that helps. It also keep location history for some past phones / past rom installs. Under location history, I have like 25 different versions of the same phone model (probably from each new rom install, it thinks it's a different phone). Probably good to reboot or even clear cache after that too just in case.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] darkmuck:
I've uninstalled almost everything and disabled many pre-installed apps (incl. Google, Gboard, and a few others). Location services and VOLTE are always off. There had to of been a recent change somewhere to cause system service to drain so much battery.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] crazy1990:
I found the biggest culprit of battery drain on stock EUI 21s rom. It can apply to other roms as well. Go to system setting then click on wifi then click on more then advance settings. Look for "Scanning always available". Toggle it off. The battery drain is much much less after toggle off. I also have location history turn off, too.
