JUST A WARNING, DON'T MAKE A CLEAN UPDATE OF THIS!

STICK WITH THE DIRTY UPDATE IF EVERYTHING IS WORKING FOR YOU!

I updated from B11 and I saw everything was nice and smooth, and then I decide to make a factory reset and wipe everything (including internal memory) just to face the Play Store problem "Waiting for network" and not being able to install or update anything.

I spent some hours trying to fix and configure everything, but was a god damn nightmare.

:crying:
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] lfsbtfl:
Just uninstall Play Store updates and everything will work again.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Galaxo60:
I did that, but still is annoying to do this each time I want to update or install an app, because Play Store keep updating automatically itself.

:(
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] lfsbtfl:
I only had to do it once
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
Well I did the opposite.

I've updated from B11 and immediately had the play store issue.

Today few hours ego I did factory reset and setup device as new and everything so far workings flawlessly with play store.

So seems it's different from device to device.

ZTE rules:p
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] aLexzkter:
The thing keeping me from updating to Nougat is Xposed. Specifically the ability to media skip fordward/backward with the screen off on any music app.

I read this could be accomplished with Tasker but, even though I have used this app and created some interesting profiles for myself in the past, it looks like it's rather complicated. Have any of you been able to get this functionality?

Store issues

Store issues started in B10, is not new in 7.1.1. For me a Factory reset solved the issue (for now)

I am tired of waiting for a proper firmware release. I 've been thinking of flashing the A2017G firmware. Flashing our modem and the international bootloader from lineage rom will do the work?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Elgsdyr:
You mean 'louder', right?

BTW, something changes the sound quite a bit enabling Atmos when playing through the speakers, but I'm not sure it's ultimately for the better... Still, none of the settings in the app (EQ, etc.) has any effect.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Galaxo60:
For my taste, enabling Dolby make it better than put it off. With Dolby off, sounds a little shadowish, while enabling it sounds crispy and nice.

:o
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] idrisbarack07:
I went back to 7.0 as it enables Dolby over headphones and still louder on speakers with Dolby on with custom best only that on half the volume. On 7.1.1, Dolby Atmos does not work for headphones but only for speakers and that without any equalizer settings. 7.0 for now :) :cool:
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] freeknz:
Yes it does! Have tested on my B&O H6 and also Sennheiser HD600s and both have increased volume levels :)

Might just be my mind playing tricks but the sound seems slightly different, but not sure if Poweramp is using the secondary DAC? I think it is because the music pauses and it is significantly louder when changing between 'Super' and 'Standard'.

Also did a stock update and I am getting no issues in WhatsApp or any other apps for that matter
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] FifthAxiom:
Use the app "Button Mapper". Works on Nougat.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Elgsdyr:
Does 7.0 have the bug where it keeps shifting to the Music profile when changing tracks in certain music players?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] nfsmw_gr:
Search before posting, this has been already answered, the answer is it does not.

But dolby doesn't work generally they say.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mateolio:
I installed the 7.1.1 OTA, coming from the 7.0 which had been installed manually.

I have noticed two things that are odd so far:

- the WiFi icon in the notification bar, when pulled down, remains "activated" even when the WiFi is off. Not a big deal.

- LinkedIn freaks out every time I open it. It takes about 1 min until the screens responds again.

It could be the fact that I didn't do a factory reset after the update.

They're not deal breaking issues though, the rest seems to work fine.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] aLexzkter:
I said I need an app to map keys when the screen is off. That app only works when the screen is on.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Oliver Aa:
Facts is that ZTE have now made them self a properly not to buy mobile anymore, cause of buggy software, false advertising for updates, just problems over and over. Sorry but unfortunately good hardware can't alone sell this phone. Was looking forward for Axon 8, but now would rather buy a more expensive mobile along with a fully working mobile from start. ZTE you have really let us down?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
Well I give you a point but don't have hopes all other even more expensive device will be free of bugs.

Even Pixel/Nexus device from Google has from time to time several issues,Samsung also their biggest problem it's the very very long time until get new android version.

Of course several bug also is there.

Even between same continent(Europe) between countries there's further delays of getting any new update.

For example Nougat got first U.K and after 2-3 months get all other countries gradually.

With LG you will leave with fear of bootloop,image retention and several hardware issues and missing credibility and reliability of LG latest years.

Even going to iOS you will have software issues.

Half of the issues several OEM device having it's because of Google crapy Google services or earlier baggy version on any kind new android version.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Galaxo60:
I highly doubt they would be an Axon 8 soon, by this time of last year we already knew everything about Axon 7 until the final release in May, and today we have nothing regarding rumors or specs. ZTE is still focusing all its efforts towards the Axon 7, which for me is just fantastic, and even when it doesn't seem so, ZTE is making a big labour to keep the phone updated almost the same time as the Nexus and Pixel phones. By now, there are only few non-Google phones that have the update.

And is true about the bugs, there is not anymore "stable" releases, the whole market became a god damn testing lab where users are the testers and we are paying to get unfinished and buggy software, and this is because of the false illusion of customers complaining about updates, good specs, cheap prices and so on. If you want a stable release or almost bug free software, is usually when companies stop supporting or giving updates to a device and they had the proper time to fix everything.

Nougat was a big mistake by Google in their attempt to divide Android, one for their phones, and other for the rest of the brand. The thing with this, is that they introduced infinitely number of bugs and things, and they only worried about fixing the Android on the Pixel phones, while the rest of the brands were left on their own. That's why all the manufacturers had problems with their updates and they promised something based on the fact that the update from Lollipop to Marshmallow was almost transparent and with no big issues, and everybody thought it would be the same with Nougat.

If you want to blame someone, blame Google for releasing a crappy and broken software, and with a broken base, companies can't do much by themselves.

:highfive:

Another bug found on B01 is that adding widgets does not work on stock launcher.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] WilliamTeh:
You can go to wifi settings to solve this problem. I have this problem before after updated to 7.1.1.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] robertaramar:
I just cannot understand, why every company crafting a smartphone thinks, they were the software development champs of the universe.

Why can't they just focus on creating a fine piece of hardware, throw a couple of ten-thousands bucks into the LineageOS organization, hence, making sure they get fine support from LineageOS for their phone?

Wouldn't we all be better off by that?

I know OnePlus did it with their first phone and I really wonder, where that went wrong.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] idrisbarack07:
Not using Spotify.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Elgsdyr:
Did you experience the bug with Spotify in Marshmallow?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] KazeRai:
I have full stock android 7.1.1, made 3 factory resets after install but i still have these issues:

- Wi-Fi icon in notification bar is always activated.

- Dolby Atmos opens but doesn't work. Doesn't matter what i change inside the app, there are no changes in sound / music in all apps.

- Battery life is bad. Without any apps running or active between 00H-08H the battery discharges 15% (was about 8%).

- Google Play "Waiting for network" error. Removing Google Play Store updates solves the problem but because the app updates itself, the problem happens again.

- Notification bar has an ugly grey color, no matter the theme i choose.

The only good news is that GSAM Battery Monitor finally works! Never worked before!

However i'm really disappointed with this update.

Never had so many issues before.

Really sad.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Galaxo60:
I don't have the issue with WiFi icon, and I did a full wipe and factory reset. It changes correctly according to the network.

Dolby is broken indeed, but there is a difference in sound if you enable or disable it.

Battery life is better than in MM (at least for me); stand by is kind of the same, but while using it, it drains less power. I have been day and a half with my current charge and more than 5 hours SOT, so you can't call that a bad battery.

The grey is about preferences, but I don't mind.

;)
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] KazeRai:
I had none of these issues with android 7.0.

New nightly out

https://download.lineageos.org/axon7
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
I've noticed too the gray color at notification but resolved it when once changes theme and from that time never appeared.

No WiFi issue,no play store issue after done factory reset and setup device as new,battery life seems solid just like B10 and device being more smooth now.

Only the Dolby Atmos is still present that you mention.

But I'm having different issues.

1.ZTE Locker doesn't work at all to me.

2.Automated brightness setting is broken and slow to response to environment in every conditions.

ZTE drastically should improve their performance at software development and totally agree current 7.1.1 is the worse performance of software delivery until now.

Never remember so much issues with previous software version from ZTE.

No Sim after 7.1.1 update

Hi there, I just updated my Axon 7 (EU version) to A2017GV1.2.0B01 and now is saying that I have no SIM inserted (but it's there as usuall).

Also some settings are crushing.

Is anybody having the same issues??.

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mikej73:
it didn't really. oneplus has gone from strength to strength and can even be bought in some shops now :p the collapse of cyanogen and the branching into oxygen in certain markets was due to politics and infighting, it had nothing to do with oneplus themselves. I was coming from the oneplus one and was sorely tempted by the 3t but as a media junkie I was lured away by the speakers, screen and expandable storage on the axon 7 but as a UK user who now knows they only really care about the US and china markets I am starting to regret my decion. my daydream headset is coming this week so we will see if that makes up for the shortcomings lol.

Any solution for Google Play Store, yet?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] KazeRai:
After reading here that there was people with only a couple of my issues i decided to format SD card, cache clean and wipe+factory reset.

Now:

- Wi-Fi icon in notification bar is always activated.

This issue remains. After enabling and disabling WiFi through this icon a couple of times, this problem happens.

- Dolby Atmos opens but doesn't work. Doesn't matter what i change inside the app, there are no changes in sound / music in all apps.

It's working right now.

- Battery life is bad. Without any apps running or active between 00H-08H the battery discharges 15% (was about 8%).

I'm still evaluating this issue.

- Google Play "Waiting for network" error. Removing Google Play Store updates solves the problem but because the app updates itself, the problem happens again.

Still happens. To download an app i must first disable WiFi, uninstall Play Store updates, cancel the auto update of Play Store, open app and disable app updates.

As long play store is not updated, it works.

- Notification bar has an ugly grey color, no matter the theme i choose.

It's working now.

- When i turn on my phone, it asked my PIN number, not my SIM card PIN.

This issue has also disappeared.

- Press twice power button to open camera.

For the first time, this feature has stopped working.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Oliver Aa:
Go in system settings, at the top, and search for something like double click, can't remember I use Danish version. Just try one letter at a time and you get lot of hidden menu options, also Android Pay, but don't work in DK. I found the hidden menu, enabled it and it works fine.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mitchelln:
On the UK version it's call "Jump to Camera" in the Gestures menu (just use search in Settings). "To quickly open camera, press the power button twice. Works on any screen"

Works fine - even on lock screen.

Did you find what exactly does that icon mean?

Anyone else getting this icon and knowing what's meaning.

I made restart and still the icon is there.

Well, we do primarily speak English in the UK. ;)
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
I know that but the way you write it someone maybe thinking it's only for U.K version and not for all G version.

As you know XDA has members from all over the world and not only from U.K so the spirit of out writing should be worldwide understandable to everyone.

That's all.

Well, I think mine probably is nearly unique to the UK - one of only 5 or so :D
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Oliver Aa:
The icon at the status bar is for phone call conditioned pass-through, I'm sorry don't know the exact translation. In Danish it's called 'betinget vidrestilling'.

I can't seem to get it away. Always shows up when calling somebody, another one of those small but annoying errors. Like the Wi-Fi icon staying on, if it's not happening to you, just wait it will unfortunately, sooner or later. So sad for this fine piece of machinery, just cause of bad software.

Oh, and yes I don't have a smartwatch, so I couldn't have turned it on by that.

Not updated to 7.1.1

..but interestingly enough I have the same problems that users of 7.1.1 are having!

I have updated long ago when it first came out to Nougat 7.0 through the SD process. Everything was smooth and having no issues at all.

When the new updated came over OTA, I've read all the comments here and decided to wait.

However, since the day before yesterday I am having the following issues:

1. Wifi icon on notifications stuck on... and actually is not! I mean I see wifi running on background (battery hardware usage) but when I try to connect to my network it says network failure! Restart won't fix it and only if I go to wifi hotspot and enable-disable the wifi icon turns off and then I can turn on again and actually connect!

2. ZTE locker doesn't work! As mentioned from others here for no reason.

3. Playstore also not working. I can open the store but neither can I install anything new or update my current apps!

4. Mi Assistant app no longer works. Stops and restarts every time you try something.

5. Touchpal "forgets" that I have enabled second "Greek" language in keyboard every time I restart the phone. Never happened this before.

If so f..ing crazy that although have not updated I am running same issues.

At least Dolby is working, but then again tomorrow is a new day and who knows...
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
After 5 days free of the play store bug today suddenly appears.

Installed the latest version from apk mirror and problem not solved.

The OTA update isn't available anymore for me on B11.

It seems that ZTE is working on a new update and canceled the rollout for nougat so far..
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
That's the best decision from ZTE not allowing users to upgrade to 7.1.1 by stopping rolling out the Nougat until fixing all the issues being mentioned by the users.

Me too I'm preparing to downgrade to 6.0.1 on this weekend.

I can't handle with those bugs any more.

Hope this time ZTE addressed all the issues with crappy 7.1.1 they've been released and start to enjoying our device.

I can confirm that the rollout of OTA 7.1.1 has been cancelled for good since I downgrade to B10 got OTA B11 but no more 7.1.1.

But it's a shame and disappointing that kind of crappy policy by company.

Those 7.1.1 upgrade was by far the worst released from them from beginning.

Hope not repeated again.

I'm sorry, I can't let you say everything is crappy etc etc...

Samsung has just release Nougat on G7 for example.

The update is great, battery life is OK, no major bug except for Dolby Atmos.... I get 5h SOT (that's the best I've ever had with the Axon)

So If this is the worst release, never handle with Oppo, Meizu, Samsung and even The Pixel

So just stop saying everywhere that ZTE is crap, they just can't taylor made a ROM for your taste.

You are a troll sir, or you make good effort to look like a troll
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
Well since ZTE officially cancel the rollout of 7.1.1 that's meaning they screw up.

They are admitting their mistake and causing to many unpleasant issues owner of the device.

If you don't want to understand it's your problem.

And yes it's the worst software released from them despite some good things got.

The negative it's unforntantly more than the positive and that's why ZTE officialy made official statement that with the future update will resovle the many issue created with the current crappy(and officially dead one 7.1.1 released).

Here's the official statasment by ZTE.

"Dear Z-Community,

Thank you for your lively feedback. We are in close contact with our development department, which is already working on the improvement of existing faults. We are confident that we will be able to solve them soon.

Google Playstores: There is a problem with the Google Playstore, which prevents apps from being downloaded and / or updated. This problem can be solved temporarily by following these steps: Open Playstore -> Settings -> Automatic App Updates -> Do not allow automatic app updates. Then go to the System Settings -> Apps -> Google Play Store -> 3 points on the top right -> Uninstall Updates. These steps reset the playstore to factory defaults. Apps and app updates can then be reloaded correctly. Please note: as soon as the Playstore is updated automatically, you have to repeat these steps. This is not a permanent solution, but the problem is definitely fixed with our next update. That means that with the next update on Android 7.1.1. B02 of the Playstore again as usual, will work without problems.

What bugs are fixed with the next version?

1. As mentioned above, Google Playstore will work again.

2. Dolby ATMOS settings will again be problem-free usable.

3. Whatsapp performance issues are fixed.

4. The transmission of the call ID can be set manually.

5. Optimization of the standby time

6. Revision of the German translation

7. Certification errors

The new update will appear very soon and will also bring new features:

1. Android launcher 3

2. RAW format for the camera

Thus the version B02 of Android 7.1.1. Make massive improvements and solve the bulk of your problems.

Thank you for your understanding and hope your Android 7.1. And Daydream by Google can finally enjoy the fullest features.

Your Z Community Team''
