Just curious...Do y'all think I should rename this thread for ZTE leaks? If so what should I call it or just leave it be? Thanks for the other info y'all on the leaked phones. I get the leaked ZTE phones info pop up all the time but didn't think to add it to this thread.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] nfsmw_gr:
Sure, go for it, the thread has kinda spinned off of the Axon 9 anyway :)
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] docentore:
I don't give a damn about notch(es), they don't bother me. And can be covered (disabled).

But man, this phone looks sexy

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] nfsmw_gr:
To be honest it's not half bad.

I'd like a 3.5mm jack port but the rest is there and solid.

The design is a lot more generic unfortunately, and the price is high.

Other than that not as bad device as I thought it would be.

Anyone with me?

What do you guys think ?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] troy5890:
I believe I'm going to stay with the Axon 7 and replace the battery for two more years of use.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] TorqueSsS:
If those are the final specs...I believe it will be a disappointment. Not as a phone in general, but as an Axon.

While the Axon 7 was definitely not an exceptionally different design, it was still a standout, with good specs and features to boot.

Seeing these renders of the Axon 9 Pro....

-generic notch display

-generic shape

-generic glass back

-no headphone jack

-rear speakers

God, who the hell even drives that company ...I mean, you had the Axon 7, a phone who was acclaimed for:

-Sound capability, especially the headphone DAC+AMP

-Front facing speakers with good quality

-A really good if not amazing QHD AMOLED display

-OK camera

How is removing the jack and putting the speakers in the rear the logical decision here? I don't get it.

The screen seems to be AMOLED, but this time only 1080p?

IP68 is a nice touch though.

I sincerely hope they reveal this and some other phone or variant of the Axon 9, that resembles the Axon 7.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] DarkQuark:
Seems like a pricey S9 knock off if you ask me. But at least the S9 has a 3.5mm jack.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sub-Negro:
It has a massive battery but damn there is nothing about it that i like.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Oki:
This must be a bad joke:

- No HiFI DAC

- No Headphones jack

- A step back in screen resolution (bye bye QHD)

- No SDCard

- Single SIM card

- Rear speakers!!??

Axon 9 is not going to be as special and unique as the Axon 7 is. I am now very happy with the Axon 7, no need to change at this time. Xiaomi Poco looks nicer than this joke and it is only $300.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] nfsmw_gr:
Lol what are you on man? ?

Have you read these? ?

https://www.gsmarena.com/zte_axon_9_pro-9069.php

https://www.gsmarena.com/zte_axon_9_pro_hands_on-review-1816.php

-"Axon 9 Pro also has two Smart power amplifiers and Pure Hi-Fi tech"

-headphone jack is gone yes

-step back in resolution, maybe, but the new axon vision , hdr 10, and rgb sensor for auto color calibration should make up for it in the end, resolution alone is not everything, accuracy and support for formats matter as well

- it does support an sd card slot

- it does support dual sim

- i don't know where the speakers are actually but they don't sound bad.

- also it's water and dust resistant and has a huge 4000mah battery

My only major bad point is the price, the rest are give or take what were expected to be really.

About Poco I agree, It's just better bang for your buck.

I'll get that one instead of course if the Axon 9 is eventually priced at 650€ as rumored.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Infy_AsiX:
you're the first person across a few platforms I follow that likes and wants to buy this. Stereo Dolby Atmos but with a bottom facing speaker (I assume the top earpiece is the other and not together in the bottom). Pentile 1080p. 649 EURO price is official, I saw it on their official live launch. Second page of that Gsmarena hands on they say they actually haven't tested the speakers properly and are unsure of it yet, totally contrary to their announcement claims.

edit: actually seen some comments from that hands on with some impressed people now.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] nfsmw_gr:
Well, I'm just stating the obvious really don't get me wrong, but no matter how you see it the spec list is fine.

There are lots of phones out there worse than this.

There are just a few downsides though:

-3.5mm jack missing.

-The price is not as good as the Axon 7's was at launch.

-The design is questionable.

But that's it.

I'll most likely get the pocophone myself, but if this was competitively priced I'd consider it.

The best course of action would be to keep the A7's design, evolve around it with a tall 18:9 screen, keep the price at 400€ mark at maximum, and keep the 3.5mm jack.

This would be an instabuy for me.

But that's just me.

I can't say the A9 is bad though because of that, it's just not what I want.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] beastobadness:
Makes you wonder what specs and price the standard axon 9 model will have.

It does feel a bit of a disappointment the pro version.

The IFA video didn't do much for the device and ZTE's 'show and tell' was a bit of a let down because the video just showed the same features as all current Chinese devices have but it's hard to tell till reviewers start getting their mitts on it to compare and pick it apart... I am going to withhold judgement till I see some real-life useage as it may actually be a good device.

Wouldn't care but there seems to be a lot of confusion over the specs, ZTE Germany https://www.ztedevices.com/de had the official specs posted on the website with a front page link last night but now they are gone, WTF lol.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChiDi9901:
I can only think that those who have jumped ship during the ZTE ban wouldn't be disappointed about their decision. Notch, no headphone jack, no QHD (??) anymore. Bend my point of view how you want, but there are better options out there at reasonable price.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gachmuret:
Pocophone really is impressive in terms of what you get for you money... But it has no NFC on board therefore useless for me as I'm using it all the time for paying and also it stays behind in audio quality...

Then I just read about AptX Adaptive and decided to wait until it becomes available in the coming generations of 2019 and from then on will continue life with wireless audio only...

But until then Axon 7 still is a superb device that has not seen any worthy successors not from ZTE (Axon 9 has to many draw backs for me) and not even from any competitor, at least not in the same price category
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] djona12:
Wait a few month (around april 2019), buy Xperia XZ3 at half price, profit.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] nfsmw_gr:
bad dev support most likely, pocophone remains top choice so far
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Soyunamortz:
That poco loco phone would have tons of development ?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] nfsmw_gr:
That's what I think as well, and I hope lol
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] djona12:
Yeah, there will probably be more dev support on the poco but the specs are just not up to the part. No Amoled, notch and no front facing speakers are just the main ones but they are a big deal in my opinion.

Then again sony offers one of the best support to their software in terms of update, making the need for custom developpment far less important.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dead Short:
The phone is somewhat impressive, but I think at the moment you can save some money and buy an LG V30, at least if you don't care about selfies or stereo speakers. Anyway I'm still happy with my Axon 7, and I'll only buy a new phone when there are some with solid-electrolyte batteries. I wonder why we are still waiting on these, although it's claimed that they are ready for mass production.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] TPMJB:
Hopefully they can release another version with a headphone jack. That's a dealbreaker for me.

I just bought a new LCD and digitizer for my A7 because wife dropped mine on concrete. The Axon 9 sacrifices too much.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] beastobadness:
There are a few sites reporting that the axon 9 (not pro) has the 3.5mm jack port still but whether it is correct or not is anyone's guess!
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Infy_AsiX:
hands on photos and videos show there's no jack
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] beastobadness:
Wasn't even sure that the standard variant axon 9 was a thing yet and was just on paper! Oh well...thanks for clarifying that[emoji106]
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Infy_AsiX:
oops I meant the pro. Haven't seen any indication of a non pro version except for rumour or speculation.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] beastobadness:
Yeah it is all speculation...was checking this out but taking it with a pinch of salt. But if it is right, I wouldn't mind upgrading my axon 7 to this depending on the audio quality...

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] SkaboXD:
Things that i like:

- 6gb ram 128gb memory

- Snapdragon 845 and Adreno 630

- 4000 mah battery

- HDR10 support

- good camera (by specs)

- still have dedicated DAC (24bit though)

- Dolby Atmos

- stereo speakers

- Quick Charge 4.0

Things that I don't like:

- notch display

- design

- no headphone jack

- new aspect ratio (i prefer 16:9)

- 2.0 USB C (Axon 7 have 3.0 USB C, not a big deal)

That's info from GSM Arena, maybe it's not correct.

I will keep this phone for 4-5 years and buy new battery and charger.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] marcdw:
One thing that is a bummer, the speakers are bottom firing (last I checked). That's not too cool.

ZTE Axon 7 A2017U, Project New World, Multiboot, XDA Legacy
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] nfsmw_gr:
I don't think that will make a very big difference to be honest, users in the opo forums that use a dual speaker mod with a similar setup reported that the sound is fine last time I checked. (I was thinking of getting an opo 5T maybe for myself but I needed the stereo speaker setup so I checked their forums)

Yeah it won't be as good but it should be good enough, I read each speaker is separately amplified and has atmos support as well.

The Axon 7's speakers as well are misaligned, but I wouldn't know if I hadn't teared my device apart because they sound fine.

The top speaker is at dead center, but the bottom one is a bit to the right.

I'm starting to think that having stereo speakers matters much more than being front firing or not.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] marcdw:
I was thinking more about blocking the speakers or the sound changing depending on how one holds the phone. My Moto has a speaker at the bottom right and I hold the phone in my right hand. Moving my hand causes the sound to change quite a bit. My pinkie also supports the phone and would cover a bottom left speaker if it had one.

Then there's my phone stand which would block bottom speakers. So I guess for me the bottom speakers might not work out so well.

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] nfsmw_gr:
Yeah I can understand that, thankfully it doesn't affect my usage.

Hope you'll find a way to make it work since a lot of devices are dropping the front facing speakers unfortunately :(
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mat441:
Honestly when my Axon 7 dies i'll just get another Axon 7 or get a LG v30 or something like it.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Gleipner:
Hello! I have a problem!

I want to convert an app into system app with the help of TWRP, simply moving it to /system/priv-app

I also want to be able to lock my bootloader so I pass safetynet and can download apps like netflix etc.

I know I can pass safetynet if I root with magisk, but I don't want to do that if I can avoid it. I want to keep OxygenOS completely stock, except for the custom recovery.

So:

App converted into system app

Pass safetynet/Lock bootloader without wiping

Without magisk

Is this at all possible or do I have to live without netflix or install magisk again?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] sting5566:
You can't have TWRP without bootloader unlocked, I don't believe.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Gleipner:
Then I wonder if it possible to pass safetynet without locking and without magisk so I can install apps like netflix freely and still keep my app of choice converted into system app.

I am beginning to realize this is probably impossible?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] sting5566:
If your bootloader is lock you will pass. But you can't convert any app into system without root, so only you can decide what you want.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] jaypeeb0917:
Issue:

I am unable to log in to Instagram. There is an error. "An unknown network error has occurred".

Possible Cause:

Prior to this error occurring, I installed Xposed and tried out some modules. Specifically about blocking ads.

I installed Xposed through Magisk installer. After doing so, I tried opening my Instagram and it says it couldn't refresh.

What I have tried:

1. Uninstalled Instagram and Uninstalled Xposed and all the modules.

2. Reinstalled Instagram and still fails. Getting the same problem upon logging in.

3. Installed GB Instagram from Batman ROM. Still fails.

My Instagram is not linked to any other social media sites like FB. I log in with a username and password.

I tried it with a different phone and through my PC and instagram is working fine.

Any suggestions or fix to this issue? This is only happening with Instagram so far. I hope someone can help me.

TIA.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] jaypeeb0917:
Just a quick update. Someone might experience the same thing. I reflashed to stock and it solves the issue with Instagram. So it is most likely due to the Xposed installation I did.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] eisenbergw:
Just to give you additional data:

I use Magisk to root my phone and the only module I installed was the ad blocker. I got the same error from Instagram. Disable the ad blocker module, reboot, Instagram works.

Hello there! I have a 2014 Ford Focus with Sync 1.1 and updates yesterday on my OP3 to RR 6.0.0 (and tried afterwards AEX), i just can't see any track information like the title of the song or the artist in the Radio. With the Redmi Note 4x of my brother it works. And a day before with my OP3 and Android 7.1.2 it worked also. Anyone knows how to fix this issue? Has it something to do with Android 8.1 and i will never see information about a track with newer Android versions?

Thanks and excuse my english please.

Edit: Now with OOS it works. But i really don't wanna use OOS. The longer i have this phone, the more i hate it.
