I, personally, don't use my device for playing music. I still use my PC for home and in my Car, i still use either the Radio or those, Oldie but Goodie, CD's and Cassettes.

I really can't, personally, recommend anything since I really don't need anything.

When it comes to the occasional YouTube videos, and similar, the stock audio is good enough for me.

Headphones?

First of all tell me what kind of earphones/headphones/IEMs are you using. Truth is that there is no way to make cheap ones sound perfectly just by using an equaliser, no matter how sophisticated it is. The "thick" sound comes from the low end (<20hz) that some products just won't play no matter what. Here's an article on it, and don't hesitate on spending hundred or more bucks on good headphones (not Beats). Believe me, it's worth it.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] jjquinto:
Hi!

I am sorry if this has been asked here before. I'm fairly new to this kind of stuff.

So I'm a foreigner living in Japan. Due to the allure of local warranty, I decided to get the Axon 7 (A2017G JPV).

It has been months since the last Nougat update came to other A2017Gs but hasn't arrived on the A2017G JPV. So I thought, may be ZTE Japan was just taking a longer time, etc. So recently, I decided to contact customer support. And their answer was unclear at best. They were apparently still deciding if they would release a Nougat update for Axon 7.

So here's my question. Considering that my Axon 7 is also A2017G, is there a way for me to install the latest A2017G European ROM or any other A2017G Stock ROMs for that matter, without unlocking my bootloader and rooting? And get OTA updates from A2017G European? If so, can someone please kindly point me in the right direction, I'm getting a bit lost.

If that isn't possible, is there a way, to install the stock A2017G ROMs (aside from JPV) and then relock the bootloader afterwards?

Please help me. Thank you.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] jjquinto:
Hi

Thank you for replying so quickly.

Please bear with me as I am still a bit confused.

The link you gave mo contains Factory Images for the A2017G, right? Therefore, I should just put the factory images (zip file), into the root directory of my SD Card, and update via settings (no need to unlock bootloader or root, right?)?

My A2017G (JPV) is now on A2017G JPV1.0.0B03.

Which factory image should I use?

Thank you very much.

I don't think you have to the same radio firmware with all the G version out there.... If you dare to try it probably you will end up bricking your phone.... So don try. Unless you are sure can warranty claim it if it is briked
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] ultramag69:
Unfortunately this region locking thing came in, sometimes it's different hardware for different regions but mostly it's to stop the grey import trade...

Due to this it is a requirement to unlock your bootloader if you want to flash other region/carrier roms, which again is a trial in itself...

If you do wish to try it, make sure you have a flashable version of your FULL stock rom, not an OTA - the difference is an OTA is a patch, usually of a few hundred Mb or so to update parts of your ROM, the full ROM is a stand-alone installation that will completely replace the current ROM.

Generally this will get you out of hot water but be aware this is also not 100% guarantee...

It will probably also delete all your data, back up first....
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Hamburgle4:
What I'm confused about is he's not asking to flash A2017A/U firmware (where region locking comes into play) on his device, only another country's A2017G fw so why would he need to unlock bootloader? It's still fw for the global model if I understand correctly.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
I'm on your side - the modem file might be different, but since the hardware is the same, it should work. Maybe the modem file has improved signal stuff for Japan, but it's extremely improbable considering ZTE's craptastic devs...

Also, what could be the worst thing that could happen? Here are the possibilities:

- Works: enjoy

- Installation failed: Should fail before even changing files anyways

- Soft brick: get to recovery, download full update zip, install, wait for Nougat

- Hard brick: "I woke up this morning and it was off, doesn't boot anymore, I want a replacement"

And if the modem is too crappy you can always go back to Japan's firmware
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] xtermmin:
I believe that the Japanese version is different from the other G versions, at least on the modem level. Japan uses some bands that are not used by any other country in the world, so unless ZTE Japan decided to release the G model knowing that it would have some connectivity issues on all Japanese carriers, the Japanese G model must have at least a different modem.

Bold = band is present in the global G model

KDDI: CDMA BC0 / BC6, LTE 1/11/18/41

NTT Docomo: UMTS 1/9/19, LTE 1/9/19/21/28

Softbank: UMTS 1/8/11, LTE 1/8/9/41
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Hamburgle4:
I kinda get what you're getting at after looking further into the models. Basing off the spec sheets, Amazon JP has the exact same A2017G TD-LTE with matching bands sold by ZTE. Whereas on the ZTE JP page, it instead matches the bands of something named Axon 7 TD-LTE JP (couldn't find model number, but sounds like OP's A2017G). This has over half the exact bands available on A2017G, additional UMTS bands 6 & 19 and one CA band.

I think someone in another thread previously mentioned about potential signal issues with the Axon 7 being sold in Spain after flashing DE fw. Looking at their spec sheet, it appears to have a few bands missing, may have additional bands, but it's hard to tell since only the frequencies are stated. Could just be anecdotal as you'd think with the greater range of frequencies, it shouldn't face those issues. Anyways this is a separate matter, and potentially an apples to oranges comparison.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] jjquinto:
Thank you all for your advice and insights.

I figured, damn all worries, and just used the recovery mode to flash the update.zip.

Lo and behold, it was updated with seemingly no issue. Even tried if my mobile data would work properly. And it did.

Ive rooted and installed the twrp flashable B15 from [MENTION=6330152]djkuz[/MENTION], but the nougat firmware is awful for my DoCoMo phone reception (in far regional Nagasaki).

Any suggestions or experiences to improve my reception? Is it the modem?

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] benhollio:
Hey I know this is an old thread but I thought I would poke in and add my feedback. I also live in Japan and have the A2017G. I bought it because it was the only phone on the market at the time that [supposedly] supported Google Daydream. Later I realized that only the US version actually worked with Daydream. Later on support was added to European ROMS (when upgraded to 7.1.1). But for some reason the Japanese ROM, despite being 7.1.1 would say 'Incompatible Phone', even when installed manually. I contacted ZTE's customer service, which was terrible; all they said was "we don't know when it will be supported". This was about a year ago, so this week I just got sick of waiting, found the German firmware (A2017G-N-B10), installed it and everything works fine. The radios have no issues, and I was able to download Daydream right from the marketplace.

Thanks for everyone who contributed to this thread!

[General Questions and Answers] Freewander10:
ROMS based on Lollipop 5.0 suffer from a "Color Fade" bug which causes the device's RAM to fill up each time the screen is turned off. Eventually, the system will run out of memory, and this will affect the device's performance and multitasking. The only available fix is rebooting regularly, upgrading to 5.1+

.....Or never turning off your screen ;)

Or it could be that your ROM just has poor RAM management. A change of ROMs should fix that.

Or it could be that your device doesn't have enough RAM built in to run the OS and apps smoothly. A change of device should fix that ?
[Nexus 5X General] Jerber:
Today I installed the Public beta version of Android O, it has a really nice redesign and some cool new functions, but, how is the performance?, I would like to share with you my experience, and hope you guys can share your experience here too.

Im going to be direct:

*Notification sounds are delayed

*Ambient display just work tapping two times

*Recent app lags

*Clean data option (on storage) is gone.

*Slowdown in some apps (guess just have to wait for an update)

I did a "wipe cache partition" after install the update, I didnt clear the data from storage cuz the option is gone.

New info: 05/24 (or 24/05 from spanish people)

For those that are having a really bad experience with Android O this could help:

I dont have a USB-C to Standar USB wire and I really wanted to make my phone works better, flash a stock rom is not an option for me today, so I did this (do a proper back up and do it under your own risk)

*Back up everything.

*Unroll from Beta

*Downgrade to Android N (that implies lost everything)

*Config the device as a new one BUT dont log in your google account, just connect wi-fi (that implies LOSE APP CONFIGURATIONS and Wi-Fi passwords)

*Regist your device to Android O again

*Wait for the update and install it.

*Configure the whole phone, apps and everything (remember, if you config it as a new device before going back to Android N the device will not download your previos configuration as settings config, apps config, wi-fi saved passwords etc etc.

I did it and Im still configuring everything but the phone works better that the first time I installed Android O through OTA without wipe the phone.

I will keep testing the phone in this way and I will let you guys know if it really helps in long terms (I mean, if next week the phone still works fine means that all the effort worth it)

PD: Just one thing, if Ambient display doesnt work for you, just, turn the option off, then On, and then power off the phone (power off, not a restart), turn it on and thats all.

NOTES: Going back to Android N could cause some stuff stop working like, rotation, gps, etc.

If you do a factory reset in Android O that could cause a bootloop, be careful and just try it IF you can flash the phone (remember the USB-C to Standar USB wire, my phone didt came with one...)

IMPORTANT:

If you went back to Nougat and found that stuff like GPS, rotation etc was not working, here you have a solution that allow you back to Nougat without those problems.

In Android O:

*Unroll from Beta program.

*Install the downgrade package

*Start your phone loging in your account but disable everything and dont restore your configuration. (Just use your account for go to the main screen)

*When finally you get the control of the phone DO A FACTORY RESET (from settings)

*This time configure averything as you want (restoring apps and configurations) and thaths all!, try to test everything and this time all will be working as always! :)

No root, no flash, just doing that :D

I installed by flashing the factory image. Device feels a lot sluggish when opening app drawer, recents, App info. I read various comments on Google+ that their device feels snappier and fast than Nougat but it took them a while before device gets settled in. So, I will give it a few good hours before judging on performance.

For picture in picture mode

Use the hidden navigation bar tuner in SystemUI Tuner. Add a navigation button and select the button type to be “keycode” and look for keycode #171. Once you’ve done that, your navigation bar will now have a button that, when pressed inside of a supported app, will toggle PiP.

hi my device stuck in bootloop after update on google Logo

but recovery mode is working , i wiped cache and data and now stuck in android boot animation and restart

my device is dead?
[Nexus 5X General] tauio111:
Some differences I've noticed in comparison to the 1st dev preview:

* Notification tray redesigned again, I do not like the lightgrey tone, but the layout of the elements does feel abit more mature compared to dp1.

* It seems more stable, less lags - altough animations seem to lower in framerates at some moments, triggering the Recently Used function delivers low framerates always (Project Butter failing?)

* In the 1st dp, the Sense 7 keyboard I use would crash, works again in dp2

* Images are misaligned in the Telegram app, I do not notice this in other apps, but everything was alright in the dp1 regarding this.

* Not sure but I feel like the Settings app has some additional icons, still not complete though. Some titles in the Settings.apk now also inherit the accent color.

* The LTE icon is now displayed in full, the wlan icon is shown with disabled status in the statusbar if its disabled. The muted sign has returned.

* Notification icons in the statusbar seem to have a wrong top-padding, so they misalign ~1-2px

The PiP mode should come available once the YouTube app gets updated with the feature, it's just that the api was made available with this release.

Try reflashing the factory image with fastboot. If the device was dead, it would bootloop in the recovery aswell.

On your PC extract the factory image zip and also extract the bullhead-image-n2g470.zip - go in to that directory with a terminal

From the terminal do these commands in turn:

"fastboot flash boot boot.img"

"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

"fastboot flash system system.img"

"fastboot flash vendor vendor.img"

To re-lock the bootloader you need this command from a terminal:
