My Axon 7 is pending-shipment with B&H in the US now! - ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion

Expecting it on Friday or Saturday. I'll post first thoughts sometime after that. Here's my device list int he last 12-18 months:
* Moto X 2015
* Huawei Ascend Mate 4G LTE
* LG G3, G4
* Moto X Pure Edition (by far the one I liked the most)
* Nexus 6
Reasons I'm choosing over OP3 or 6P.
* Front facing speakers
* Higher resolution screen (sometimes phone VR can be fun) - Also, though OP3 has AMOLED too but a good reason to consider it ... I wear polarized sunglasses and of course that sucks with LCDs unless you're blessed with some perfect polarization of how you want the screen tilted with your fave sunnies. What's funny is finding at what angle the screen is polarized when I play with a new LCD based phone.
* QC Quick Charge (I'm already invested with a few of these chargers)
* Dual SIM or SIM + SD (though I'm most likely going to be Dual SIM)
* Home back, and recent buttons
* Warranty (if it holds up this is awesome. I'm not using my Moto X Pure due to broken screen, Moto will not let me PAY for repair because unlocked bootloader/warranty bull****).

So the OP3 doesn't have home back and recent buttons?

Mine shows it is in Forth Worth, Texas as of last night and I live in Allen, Texas which I ordered mine on 7/13/2016 from ZTE. The thing that confuses me is Fed Ex will delivery it on Friday the 29th I figured I would get today or tomorrow because Fort Worth is only about 35 miles from me oh well all I can do is wait.

This must be the Gold model? I pre-order grey from Newegg (bundled with monster headphones) and they don't ship until August 15th.
Need Root!!! :>

Maybe they're giving the latest date so they can have some cushion. Like, if they said you'll get it today but you don't get until Friday then they don't want the complaint.

Lol yeah it does. Maybe he meant it as a win over the N6P since he mentioned both.

I received mine from Amazon this morning.

I'll let you know when I get home in a little under an hour. I tried connecting to our work Wi-Fi but it's not connecting to the internet. I tried my Moto G4 Plus and it isn't either. They may have changed it because so many employees are using it to stream music etc. when it's supposed to be for customers.

If it is not too much trouble, please check the build.prop file to see if there is setting like
net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
The build.prop file is usually in top folder or in /system folder.
Try to see if it will ignore/check carrier hotspot restrictions or not.
Thanks,

Got my Axon7 last night and pulled the build.prop file off it. It doesn't have that setting anywhere in the file. For those of you that are interested, the full file is here: http://pastebin.com/i79nb6mq

do you know if all the stuff for the EU Galaxy Note is compatible with our US version?
I'm wondering because I have a htc hd2 and we used to have two forums , one for the TMO US hd2 and one for the EU Leo/hd2 and they ended up getting merged when xda got redesigned last time since they were practically the same phone, and I think apart from the EU version having a 3 button layout in front where the home button is a hard button and two capacitive on the sides , both phones hardware are the same, so I assume all the stuff for the EU phone will be compatible with ours.....ohhh can't wait, my wife knows the att rep at the store I went to and he let me play with one that he had gotten for himself just today and I already love it!!!! Gonna be at the att store right when they open tomorrow.
I have been using ICS since last november and even though I'll be going back to gingerbread, it will be fun to work our way back into ICS.
ANDROID FTW...YES!!!

On the outside it appears that most cases, chargers and docks are the same. Inside it's quite different. The processor appears to be the biggest and makes all of the ROM's incompatible. I think there are enough differences that they will never merge the forums. I'm sure we'll have an ICS ROM before long for our phone. And I agree Android FTW!
I too am getting the Note. Any more females out there ?? I have the Infuse now which i have just had the best time with. This time will be defferent.. I am getting mine when released as opposed to two months later. I am excited also to see we have ROOT. YIPPY..NEW TOY

Thank you!! hahha good luck with the sleep....A friend told me that to set it up you have to go to ATT and sign up and create a password and set up phone online then sync>>?? I find that very odd and and what does that mean exactly after flashing a ROM and needing to set up??

Yeah I was at the store today talking to the guy and he was telling me all this stuff about it like I was clueless about android and the phone, he also told me about setting it up, but all I'm doing is show up at 11am when AT&T opens, transfer my old phone number from TMO and bounce out of that sucka! I hope they'll have accessories like screen protectors and cases available, so I can grab some. Now off to sleep and when I get up I'll be getting mine.

slip over to the "international" version of the Samsung GT-N7000 Note forum once in a while. Just be careful of the ROM section...NONE will work on the at&t version, but the other areas might have a few good tips/tricks.
I've had mine about 3 months, coming from a Dell Streak, so the size wasn't a big WOW for me, but, the clear BRIGHT screen and speed of the processor was.
I stopped into a corporate store today, asked the sales drone at the door if they had the note, (around 3pm) she said over 2 dozen had already asked for it, but they wouldn't display it til Sunday. Asked if they had the accessories yet, they did, so I bought a home dock & black speck case.
When I bought it, the drone cashier asked if I was getting a Note Sunday, told him nope, got mine 3 months ago from Amazon. I didn't tell him that I didn't want to give up my grandfathered unlimited, or that I've been off contract about 3 months and didn't want to sign up for another one.

This is true to a point, there is an app that comes up when you first turn the phone on called AT&T Ready2Go. It supposedly helps you setup the phone using the computer. I got mine on friday, so I have a bit of experience with this. I personally just backed out of the app and set the phone up just like you normally would, so its about as easy as possible.

An added benefit of the "international" version is the greater development of ROMs and usually an earlier release of ICS.
What sold me on the AT&T version was the LTE. Even in a 3G area any LTE phone will be faster than any non LTE phone. I have both the Skyrocket and the Samsung Galaxy SII. Side by side I receive completely different data speeds. The Skyrocket will get up 18mb down on HSPA+ while the Galaxy SII will top out at 7 or 8mb on HSPA+
Also LTE will be going up in my area in the near future and I take advantage of it when I travel to the bay area for business.

Yep, I just cancelled the program and set it up manually like always I've been playing with mine and love it! Stock speed is awesome, picked up a candyshell case by speck and a screen protector, not sure if I like the screen protector, is the anti finger print / glare but in my opinion it losses a slight amount of crispness on the screen colors, but I might get used to it, definitely a beast of a device.

AT&T HOX+

I ordered my AT&T HTC One X+ yesterday. It is still getting processed for shipment. Has anybody who ordered yesterday gotten already a shipment notification?

Mine shipped too, although they didnt send me a conformation email I had to go on the website to check the order status.
Mine still says processing. Shipping to eastern Mass. I hope they get their act together today. "Processing" is about the least useful update they could throw out there.

I got the confirmation email 12 hours later.
Don't think anyone will actually receive it til the 16th when it is actually released which is why i saw no reason for a pre-order. Just called my local ATT store and they haven't even received shipment yet and they are a major branch. They said first thing tomorrow they will have them in (could be lying and already have them though now). Just going to my store when they open tomorrow and pick it up in person so i can physically check it for defects such as the screen and camera lens alignment before walking out of the store. Something you can't do in the mailbox and if you have a shipped defected phone then have to go to the ATT store anyways to switch out.
Of course we won't know until tomorrow if there is ATT version defected phones but been seeing a lot on here for the Intl version so best to check people.

Sure. I have to pick it up at the FedEx station because they couldn't drop it off at home:crying:. But I will give my first impressions ASAP. Have a GNEX with 4.2 at the moment so I am ready for a shock of sense

I'm guessing you installed the CWM from the One X+ forums here? That was for the Int'l (non-LTE) One X+.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1995763
Just got my AT&T HOX+. Just first impressions. Very nice phone but I came from the GNex that was completely ugly plastic. The screen is gorgeous. Loudspeaker is great. Battery I cant say anything yet too early for it. I have a bit light bleed from the screen and I can see a bit of the light of the buttons between the glass and the shell. Nothing so bad that I would return it. The vibration is very strong. So strong that it makes this weird rattling noise. I think I had that already on my MT4G. LTE is fast in San Diego in comp. to HSPA+. I get download speeds of 10Mbps in comparison to 0.5 to max 3 Mbps on HSPA. I had no wifi problem so far. Had some issues with the HTC "multitasking" and two-step-activation because it never went back to the site i had to put the pin in after switching between key generator and web browser. The web browser is fast and still has Flash. I thought after ICS there won't be Flash anymore so it was a nice surprise. Let's hope now for JB 4.2 soon and that this nice phone won't be a niche product. I am afraid that HTC releases the HOX ++ in February
BTW the amount of bloatware is obnoxious and nothing can be removed.
Additions: Bluetooth with beats audio sounds great in my car. Much better than the sounds that came out of my GNex. The screen on auto-brightness is really bright. I have to get used to it. I have some problems to press power and volume rocker. They are flush with the shell and difficult to feel.

Thanks for the update. I'll be sure to check the small defects you pointed out when i pick this device up in store so i can switch it out on the spot if needed and kind of see how often these small defects pop up from HTC, damn their quality control! I called 5 different ATT stores within 10 miles of my house last night and not 1 had this device in stock yet! A few stores the employees were like what phone? You mean the One X? Lol, didn't even know what i was talking about, freakin people never cease to amaze me. They all said they get their shipments in around 10-11am today so hopefully i can find a store to run to on my lunch break from work and get this puppy setup while im at work so when i get home it's all fun and games!
Bloatware, haven't seen that in years but remember how nasty it was. Good thing this bad boy has 64gb of memory so not like its hurting us all that much and i'm sure in a week or so we'll have full Root and what not so no issues after that .
How's the gaming on it? When you first setup your device, how do you get your music from iTunes to this device? I have all my contacts synced to google and yahoo mail so that shouldn't be an issue but have like 320 songs i gotta load on this bad boy some how for the gym. Let us know how it goes bro, thanks!

Good luck that you get one of these nice devices today in your hands.
If you boot up the first time you get first a splash screen from AT&T to setup the phone. Cancel that and setup your Google account first. Not sure why AT&T did that but I was afraid that it then syncronizes everything to AT&T instead of Google.
iTunes? I am an Apple-free household I have just my mp3 collection and Google play music. I uploaded all my private music in the cloud at Google play and normally buy music from Google and Amazon. I never became used to using iTunes. Horrible program in my opinion.
Gaming? Haven't tested it yet. Not a big phone gamer. For gaming I have my PS3

I would sign up for google music (free), and install the google music sync to your computer with itunes. It will upload all your music and playlists to the google cloud and be available to your phone through google music. If you want it local, there is an option for it to download the music to your phone and allow use by any music app. Keep in mind any DRM protected music will not be uploaded.

TNT turned up at exactly the same time the wife popped up the local, I've been told I can pick it up from the depot at 9am tomorrow..
At least the depot is over the road from work I suppose..
Ordered at 8:58 as an afterthought because the Nexus 4 sold out even quicker (I'd always intended on getting the N10 as well, I know it's not exactly an alternative to the N4 lol) Went out late this morning but luckily there's always someone in at my house. Got home about 1ish and there it was.

stock browser is chrome which is speedy but i'll more than likely switch it up. Apps load quickly too although the ram usage is rather high. Idles over 1gb but it maybe due to my two user configuration.
I understood the entire package weighs almost 3000 grams! What is in it that makes it so heavy? The device it self weigs only 603 grams..what's the other 2,5 kilos??
Can somebody please comfirm to me how much the entire parcel weighs in grams? (as you have received it by mail including the shipping box)
I need to know this for a shipping price quote.

Happy for you guys.:good:
Now if one of you will just look under display in the settings and tell us once and for all if there is an option there for "wireless display" please? The uncertainty of whether it was getting miracast or not has kept me from pushing the "buy it now " button.

Just checked and no 'wireless display' option. Sorry!

LG G6 Rogers (Canada) thread

Walked into Rogers Corp store in Montreal today and bought outright. No pre-order.
I've set my device up. Took an update on first install (prob same at T-Mobile update)?
I've gotten Rogers Wi-Fi calling to work (though I have an annoying persistent Wi-Fi calling notification in Status Bar that I can't seem to eliminate even though I've silenced that notification).
Feel free to ask questions specific to Rogers here.

Yikes. Hope it's a good phone. I've always been a Sammy guy but I was curious if the LG is going to rootable.

That's the cost of high-end phones these days (you pay it upfront or even more over time!). Jury is out, too soon to tell yet. I am coming from S7 Edge which is an awesome device. So far concerned about battery but too soon to call it.

Fair enough. I am currently on the S7 edge. Battery life never bothered me because we all have outlets or battery packs lol.
My gf has the LG G5 which is similar and I like to play with it.

Why not? These things are amazing. I have 2 of them. Charges really fast. Not even big either. You won't be disappointed.

I'm pretty concerned about the battery life as well. Been using my Rogers G6 for about a week and have to say the standby time is absolutely horrid, probably as bad as my G5. Other than the battery life, i have to say that i love this phone!
I think mine's going back. Battery life is < 8 hours with same usage pattern (exactly) as my S7e, which can last 15hrs on just 300mAh more. Something's wrong. I don't have experience with SD821 devices but based on some benchmarks, the Pixel XL looks like it lasts almost as long as the S7e.
It seems that Rogers permits "exchanges" up to 2 weeks - what if I want to take a credit on another device (I don't think it's my individual unit so don't want to bother with another one)?
I packaged it up to return it...Rogers F****Ed me off, too bad....Not our problem. Figured I would sell it, so did a factory reset and then decide to give it one more go. This time I didn't use the Google "move from another device" (don't know actual name) but rather manually reinstalled my apps (painful...). Much better results today (tho no phone calls as it's the weekend). I'm at 8hrs off battery, 2hrs SOT and still above 50% battery. Will see what happens Monday.
Hey everyone, just got that phone for free from rogers (Was 400$ but bring my Samsung Galaxy Alpha and they removed the 400$, can't belive it! Even the clerk was like "what? We do give something for that junk, and that much???"). I have a question though. How do we get the app drawer back? I've checked everywhere and all I see is go into settings, display, home then select home and app drawer. But I don't have that. I only have "Home" and "Easy home".
Thanks
Got a videotron version here...battery life is awesome in my case, standby is great.
Im still at the same charge from yesterday noon with regular use and minor gaming...still at 67%

In home settings you dont have select home ? Then home and app drawer?
Got the phone from Fido, unlocked, now using with Rogers. Only 2 days old but battery life is good so far, approx 50% after a moderate day of use.
For homescreen, I had to download an app from LG called "home + app drawer," before that I only had Home and Easy Home as options.

Just download the pixel launcher
Does the Rogers G6 have any Rogers branding in the software when it boots up? Considering getting an unlocked Rogers G6 off of Craigslist to use on AT&T.

AHHHH!!!! FLIPIN' Huawei

I FINALLY get my RMA'd phone back after they FORGOT to add my suite number so it got delayed, I went to set it up, and NOW the fingerprint sensor doesn't work!!

Already did twice
AND RMA #2.................Just waiting for the shipping label
This is what you get when you buy a device from a company like these. Why do you think people spend more to own a Samsung or apple
AAAAND still waiting for a freakin shipping label!!

I would recommend boycotting Huawei. Even if you get it fixed, there is a 100% guarantee that the phone will fail at some point with bootloop issue (usually within 2, years of manufacturing date).

Sorry to hear, I cracked my Nexus 6 and sent it to Moto for warranty and when I got the replacement, wireless charging didn't work. I ended up keeping it and down the road, after cracking the screen I decided I'd try and call Moto & do it again but when I called they said the warranty had just ended and I would have to pay full price for their or another phone. If I could go it again I would have sent it right back. I had three of the Nexus 6's not including the warranty exchange. Nice phone & wish I still had.
**UPDATE** Got my 3rd 6P today, so far so good, fingerprint works, camera works, calling works. When I get home, I will unlock the bootloader, but other than that, I'm not sure if I want to root or not.
OP. I bought a second hand 6p and I am about to swap the battery and do a black body swap. A brand new unopened dbrand came with the phone I got. I’m not gonna use it so if you want it it’s yours just pm me your info. It’s the white marble back setup. I’m not into bumpers so I can throw in the rhino shield too if you want.lmk

Sounds good, but I think I may be sending this one back too My first full day of usage (Sat) I only got about 7 hrs, and when it got to 30% it shut off on me.

Yeah, at this time, I'm about to just give up on Huawei and get maybe the LG V20, (that's about what I can afford) send back the 6P then sell it
Huawei is crap, Ican't believe people on here actually recommend people buy this phone on here :/ I could never get them to warranty the phone, could hardly even talk to anyone.

I didn't attempt to call them via phone, but what I did was contact them via email, and all I received was robotic messages. Same message over and over. Pathetic.

There was an article about how they will overtake apple on here. Good luck with that one, they wouldn't stay at the top long with their poor quality control and terrible customer service.
Wow, sorry to hear OP. I keep hearing terrible stories about their customer service.
