[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] JLLE:
After reading your posts about the radio problems and dust in the camera, I haven't notice no one of those drawbacks. So I'm in France and my career Bouygues give me a very strong signal, most of the time in 4g+ and no dust problem. I'm with the stock Nougat B04 (Android 7.1.1) and very happy with it.

A lot of reasons to stay stock in this phone, thanks for the update.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] amus76:
Hi! Did you do anything particular with you APN? I'm on Sosh and i don't get any 4G+, full stock...And I'm suppose to have 4G+
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] ArgonautPollux:
I think the main reason to stay stock is the fact that there aren't any good alternatives. Pretty much all the posted ROMS have some deal-breaking bugs in some way or another. Pretty disappointed by the scene for this phone. It's a great device and I haven't had the issues discussed in this thread but looks like absolutely no one's interested in it. My only annoyance is the fact that they claimed how open this phone would be but it's got tons of nonsensical restrictions I've never come across before like not being able to set your own default dialer app without installing a custom ROM and outside app call recording does not work - which ZTE shows no signs of adding as a feature to their mandatory dialer app.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] KwesiJnr:
I dunno how it works in your country, but these settings should get you by. I find them to be universal so far. I get full 4G LTE on stock.

Name: [Bouygues] (or whatever name you want, doesn't matter)

APN: Internet

APN type: default, supl, hipri

Then save and switch to the newly created APN.

Those are the settings that work for me, no problems at all.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] amus76:
I'll try thank you

Another thing, when I do *#*#4636#*#* and "select band", I only get "USA", but I'm on official Nougat from ZTE DE and I have an A2017G

I also can't choose my prefered network in this menu: I mean only LTE or LTE/GSM or TD-CDMA

At the moment, i'm trying a full fresh install with the package from ZTE DE and let the phone do all the OTA update
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] KwesiJnr:
Yes, that is probably best if you've tinkered with the band settings. It can be a headache and mess your internet settings up. Try the suggestion I gave you after the fresh install. That won't be a problem if you want to delete it later.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] alom5:
After reading the issues done if you guys are having... i can only suggest to get the Chinese variant ???. It's a brilliant phone for me and I've had no issues with it... Probably the best phone I've had. I have sitting in the draw 2 note 4, note 3 s1, xperia x1( collectors item those 2).... But this phone as far as I'm concerned is the dogs bolloks..

Only thing for me is now that the sun is out.... The screen doesn't get bright enough in the sun
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Galaxo60:
I have the A2014G for a couple of months now and no problems at all.

No dust or radio problems.

If it would get Android O?, probably not, but I think they will give us a final 7.1.2 release before passing to work in the Axon 8 (or whatever the name is), and probably we would get some security patches every 3 months.

Personally, I wouldn't mind if they would do that, because pretty much all the versions of Android are similar since Marshmallow, and for me Android O brings nothing interesting enough to want the update.

ROM's are all based in Lineage, so all they share the same problems and issues, so for this phone, I would say stay in stock if you really want a fully functional phone.

:good:
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] BritSwedeGuy:
I'm on Lineage and find it far preferable to stock, works great for everyday use, I don't know why others have issues that I don't - and am confident it will get Android 8.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] JLLE:
No I've just put my SIM card in the phone, and it works fine in automatic. So I haven't do anything special.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Galaxo60:
With issues, we mean things that are not fixed yet.

Stereo sound was fixed some weeks ago, but Daydream is still broken. The DAC is kind of buggy, 4G is buggy, and there are issues with signal and camera as well.

I wouldn't bother to root and install any ROM knowing this, because it seems everybody is using LOS as base, so all will have the same problems.

By the way, ZTE just confirmed that they plan to keep the phone updated with security patches, but they have no information about Android O, so probably we won't see this version as a stock ROM,

;)
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] MiMtnBiker:
Are you a dev? If not, why not jump on the bandwagon and start fixing all those issues you listed? You seem to have a comprehensive understanding about what is wrong, so, snap to it! I mean, how dare those devs just sit on their derrières not fixing those issues while still getting their paycheck.

I read a lot of posts like this from people complaining while not offering to help find solutions to these problems. It's almost as if they EXPECT to have ROMs developed for them. Why can't they be grateful that anyone is working on them?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] front firing speakers:
Chinese version here, all is well
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Galaxo60:
Maybe I wasn't clear enough with my comment.

I'm not a dev, and neither I want to jump on the train and start fixing issues of something I won't be using.

I left all development behind since Lollipop because for me stock Android and ROM's are good enough and they offer everything I would ever need.

Besides this, I'm not complaining at all, but I'm just describing the actual situation with development in this device. I'm grateful with the people who do this, and I appreciate that people is investing their time in development, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't point out the issues and details that are left, all with the purpose of improving things the most we can.

Another point that I want to clarify: making things for free doesn't mean we should do them improperly. The fact that developers are not getting paid or receive any money from this, doesn't imply that they should do garbage development. Most of the time we relate free with bad quality, but in my personal opinion, I think that is someone is making any task, it should be done the best possible no matter if there is money or not involved.

;)
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] MiMtnBiker:
You are complaining. Your last paragraph is rife with complaints. You are bashing the devs for creating junk (your words). If that is how you feel, it's time to man up and do it all the correct way. Show them hows it's done. If you can't, or won't, simply shut up. It's no wonder why there aren't more devs for the A7. Ungrateful people like yourself would sure keep me away from doing it.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Waancho:
Since when is describing something the same as complaining?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Galaxo60:
It's sad that you have such poor reading skills, and you can't get the idea of the comment above.

Anyway, before entering a discussion or state something that is false, please learn to read and get the whole idea, and you won't confuse yourself and others by deviating my words into something that I never said.

Keep up with the life kid!

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] mamatgiler94:
Android O surely sound nice to me. But I don't think that ZTE will have time to give update to ZTE Axon 7. They take months just to launch Android Nougat, and that first version was so bad, that everyone keep complaining it. I'm not pointing bad out from the devs, but surely that they being paid handsomely to developed something that is stable and can keep it up with Samsung, OnePlus and other OEM. Much better using ZTE other brand, Nubia Z17. Might sell my phone as soon as OP5 is announce.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Hamburgle4:
So long story short, we pay for what we get? We also did get 7.1.1 a month after... and one of the first non-Google devices to receive the update!
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] xuggs:
I'm happy with ZTE and Axon7 is their hero phone. They wouldn't want to disappoint their Axon7 customers and jeopardize their success path to a new Axon model. I am sure this is already asked over at the ZTE community so wondering what's the official reply.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] BritSwedeGuy:
I've had no major issues with Daydream, it may not be perfect but it's certainly usable.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Galaxo60:
As I said, the official reply is that they don't know at the moment about Android O, but they will keep updated the Axon 7 with security patches in the future.

For me, saying that "they don't know about Android O" is another way of saying "we won't update to android O, but we don't know how to say it yet".

;)
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] paatha13:
Well knowing that majority of OEM are a offering 2 major Android version(at least at high end category smartphone(flagship) on life cycle of the device it’s really disappointing and embarrassing if ZTE could not provide as well the same support.

The direct competitor OnePlus will give at 3/3T Android O and not giving ZTE with their own flagship(one device instead of 2) it’s totally frustrating.

And we are talking for 1 year old only device that don’t anyone forget take 3 months to released worldwide.

For me there no any excuse from ZTE if not provide Android O.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Hamburgle4:
Yes. I already read your previous comment and the response in the official German forum. Thanks for the tag? ?

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] MiMtnBiker:
Right. Bashing the developers for not making a perfect ROM for you is not complaining? Give me a break. And kid? I was driving before you were itching your daddy's pants. As I said, it's people like you who dissuade developers from doing anything for the community in the first place. I would never, NEVER start doing this for people because they are such whiners. What is sad is that you can't just be happy with what is being done for this phone. People like to point out flaws, but offer no real solution other than to COMPLAIN. That is what you were doing. There's no sugarcoating that, son.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] ALeX850:
I don't get it, so what you are basically implying is that we should bear with official, paid devs induced issues and that at the end of the day the whole thing is a matter of co-development with the community in order to fix bugs up? Even after months of beta testing they released ROMs crippled with daily use-breaking issues, some people had to downgrade. Sure, having an active community is wonderful and people giving their time for that matter must be praised but in no way it can replace the level of demand we are entitled to expect as customers from the official support. So either ZTE goes full on with the community and releases sources and all the necessary tools, either they deliver a proper experience, otherwise people will decide to go another route and simply won't buy at ZTE again if they aren't satisfied it's that simple. It's in ZTE's, a rich multinational company, interest. For most people, the community driven rom scene is cryptic and even more tech savvy people may prefer stay with the official rom. Let's not mix things up, complaining about ZTE's support and being happy with what the community did for the phone are two different matters.

As an american user you may feel that you received a proper support from ZTE. My experience is different, I'm a A2017G user from a western european country, I didn't receive any OTA update since B08 last december (no security update, nothing), ZTE's activity on social media in my country is stale and they were just promoting their products anyway, they don't answer to anything. Yet, we paid for the same product, no, actually european users even paid more. Imagine I didn't know about xda and the community, I would be a customer who bought a device with security flaws not patched up. Don't forget that those kind of customer are also the more likely ones to do risky things with their phone, installing all kind of weird stuff.

Now here the topic was complaints about current unresolved bugs and signal issues. For instance I have a signal issue since I bought the phone last november: my wifi keeps connecting and disconnecting without interruption from a particular router, it's the only device to which it happens and everything seems fine on other routers. I tried to tweak up my router settings to no avail. I can't know for sure if the issue comes from the router, the phone's software or hardware. I think it probably comes from how the phone's firmware handles signal management. But what could I do if it happened on a network I don't own, an hotel for example? I don't want the community to fix this issue, I want ZTE to do it.

Onto the android O expectations. We aren't helped by google who somehow decided that major android release would be yearly when it's purely artificial since it seems there isn't anything major anymore about them. Less and less differences but version numbering inscreases greatly. So obvioulsy, those "major updates" serves as opportune, timely hurdles for manufacturers who won't make the leap. There was a time when we could expect at least 2 years software support from OEM, now it's god-given if it exceeds 1 year
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] JoRocker:
So, if a friend or family member told you they wanted something more stable and an overall better experience than they're having on stock, you will lie to them and tell them to flash a custom ROM? See I seriously doubt that because then your personal credibility is on the line, and you're not some keyboard warrior anymore. I think it's great that most people here aren't brainwashed and telling everyone it's roses just to inflate the devs egos. I remember when people like you were the majority​ on here several years ago, and man was it frustrating when I went to the trouble of flashing, just to find a bug riddled OS and put everything back to normal.

Everyone else is right. You need to call a spade a spade. It's not a complaint it's a declaration of facts. You may not like it, but it doesn't make it any less true. I'm just very happy that people are at least being honest about the situation.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Galaxo60:
Just ignore the boy, no need to feed the troll.

Typical kid that thinks everything should fit in a square, and everything in life is a problem or a solution, nothing more.

Maybe after in life he will learn that describing a situation is not the same as complaining, and pretty often we don't have the answers to all problems, but that doesn't mean that they don't exist or are not true at all.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] romitkin:
I doubt it will be updated, but it might be for the best.

My previous phone was a G2. It was initially on 4.2 and then it received an 4.4 update.

LG didn't plan to release another one, but due to the huge user base this phone had back then and user requests, they decided to update it to 5.0.2.

BUT, it didn't feel like a very good update. The system was much slower, and some useful features simply disappeared. It was very rushed.

On the other side, it still has active development and Unofficial 7.1.2.
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Questions & Answers] ALamX_14:
I had been flashing custom roms and other files like SuperSU which all went to plan and I decided I was happy with my rom so I decided to disable OEM unlocking to get rid of the startup message. It didn't work so I went into adb and entered

fastboot oem lock

but I forgot to enable oem unlocking in developer settings and now I have a hard-bricked phone without any recovery or system, only fastboot. I don't have enough money to get it fixed for me so I'll have to do it myself but I don't know how.

Hey guys. Today I tried rooting for the first time using this guide

In the third step of the article "3.Flashing TWRP and Rooting via TWRP" I pressed cancel when it asks for an encryption password(I hadn't put one yet). I also flashed the english TWRP( Recovery file) and not the one provided in the article . Now the phone just wont boot. Whenever I try to boot it, it gives me the error message:

"Your device has been unlocked and cannot be trusted.

ID: N/A"

And TWRP comes up everytime .

When i try booting from factory it shows:

"Your device has been unlocked and cannot be trusted.

ID: bad key"

and TWRP comes up.

The phone is still recognized in adb.I still haven't flashed SuperSU if that helps.

Should i Flash stock recovery and try again ?

Please send help, guys.

I have similar problem like yours. The solution to boot your drvice. If your in twrp go to advance - reboot - bootloader. And in bootloader menu click start. And your phone now is booted

This is a alternative solution. But it wont damage your device. Trust me

Well thank you for the tip but that's not the problem here.The problem is that my phone never boots into OS ,it is stuck in recovery.Any Indication as to why would be a huge help !
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] flashallthetime:
Are you sure OS is even there?
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] porthumor:
I don't think I messed with the OS . I just unlocked the bootloader and flashed TWRP without flashing SuperSU.(done it for the first time for my Moto Z play). Used Wipe to clear davlik,cache and that's it.haven't done anything in the recovery since then.

The only thing i remember messing up was to not input the encryption key when it prompt me for it by clicking cancel.

I've read in some forums that it doesn't boot if it doesn't have SuperSU flashed,but I'm not sure if it's safe since i don't exactly know what might or might now permanently brick my phone.

Also some forums had something to do with patching the kernels (don't know if that's what you call it) but i don't know if it's a safe thing to do since it might also permanently brick my phone.

[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] flashallthetime:
You used the Chinese TWRP originally? Now you have alberto97 TWRP? Is this correct?

I would flash a custom ROM, why I'm saying that is it's far safer flashing a zip ROM than trying to flash the stock firmware.

Again I will remind people the flashing bootloaders on moto devices will inevitably cause hard bricks if you downgrade and the accept an ota.

---------- Post added at 06:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:39 PM ----------

The only solution and this applies only if you want to remain on the stock ROM.

Download the retail firmware and only manually flash the boot.img, the 10 sparsechunks and the OEM.img.

Do not use rsdlite!!

This should boot your phone.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] porthumor:
Yes,exactly.

Which Custom ROM do you think is the safest possible alternative?

Can you explain this a bit better ? I would like to understand what i'm getting into !

Could you,if possible, link to me to the respective article ? Do I need to Get the firmware for Nougat or does it depend on security patch as well?

Gotcha,No rsdlite !
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] flashallthetime:
I would install the aosp ROM as it is bare bones android.

As for bootloaders, when you receive an ota it flashes a new bootloader.

What some folks have done is because they feel like a new ota isn't working to their liking, they have downgraded their firmare, either by flashing the firmware package that can be downloaded. They flash the entire package including bootloader, what this does is set up a perfect hard brick scenerio for moto devices.

They accept an ota or for reasons that are beyond uderstanding, sideload the package and bam as soon as they restart there device it bricks their device due to the mismatched bootloaders.

You are unlocked and the easiest way to prevent hard bricks is to for go flashing firmware.

You may want to format your data but first try to flash the ROM and see if it boots.

That Chinese TWRP is a nasty thing
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Kap_Tutan:
Bro are you sure you followed my instruction? In twrp menu click on reboot>bootloader

Then it will boot the device in bootloader mode. And in the bootloader menu click on "start" using the power button. Then it will boot your phone. Everytime you reboot your phone do the same step. If you want to get rid of that thing you need to flash official rom via rsd lite
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] flashallthetime:
Rsdlite sucks, never flash any firmware with resdlite unless you know which lines need to be removed from the text file that tells rsdlite what to flash.

manually flashing firmware is IMO much safer and all you need to flash is the boot.img all the spareschunks and oem.img
