That's not for global version?
Can we apply to A2017G?
ZTE_A2017V1.0.0B10 file size: 2.47 GB | updated: 2016-09- 13 |
The date is even older than B05 on ztedevice page

This update is pretty shiite. I'm having problems with the homebutton and call clarity had gone down as well. And the WORST is the fingerprint scanner is not as good anymore either... It's slow to wake the screen now. Wasted update!!!

Don't have the issues you describe...
Do see some of the Chinese Bloatware I disabled/uninstalled.

I'm using a A2015 Chinese version, 4GB+128GB.
Just asked the Chinese ZTE dev about Android 7.0 update, he says it's scheduled for the end of year.
When asked about the bell on lock screen, he says the 7.0 update may tackle that.
I also asked about adding SOT count in battery settings, he has no idea.

with Android 7 will add the Api camera2 ??

Is there currently any custom rom for China axon 7 (a2017)
I hate the stock rom. The china stock rom sucks

Gear S firmware updates (Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint)

The Gear S in the United States runs on different firmware based on your mobile provider. I'd like to start a thread to see if we can understand why the firmware updates appear to include different features.
Sprint users received a firmware update in Feb 2015: R750PVPU1AOA7
Description of Enhancements/Fixes
Preloaded Stopwatch and Timer
New icon glossary
DST timer fix for customers
Now, T-Mobile users got a firmware update to R750TUVU1AOA7 on Jan 27, 2015. This update (which ends in 1AOA7 just like the Sprint update) did NOT include the preloaded stopwatch and timer. Not a big deal since you can download and install these apps. The update was described as "This update provides call forwarding improvements and menu language updates."
Recently, AT&T users got a firmware update to R750AUCU1AOB1
The update was described as:
Resolves Day Light Savings time bug where remote connection results in 1-hour difference.
Adds Wi-Fi Protected Setup
Improvements to S Voice
Improvements to wrist-up recognition when driving
Additional theme options and clock face
Looks like Verizon users got an update in early Feb that ends in 1AOA4.
Verizon: 1AOA4
T-Mobile: 1AOA7
Sprint: 1AOA7
AT&T: 1AOB1
Seems like everyone got the 2 new watch faces. Why didn't we all get the preloaded stopwatch and timer? How about the other enhancements like Wi-Fi Protected Setup or the other improvements?
Any other observations from Gear S owners?
I believe AT&T update also brings capability to reply to Gmail with some pre-canned messages.
@drjosephkim
I have the tmobile version, WPS support is there and the stopwatch + timer apps are available by samsung in the gear store for free.... just fyi
Different features on different carriers
It appears that the carrier and firmware differences affect functionality. Verizon and Sprint do not support automatic call forwarding yet. This is too bad, as this is a great feature to allow your phone calls to follow you . Also, on the current Verizon firmware, there is no icon (or any indicator anywhere on the Gear S) to show you that your Gear S is remotely connected, as opposed to connected via bluetooth. On AT&T's version, there is a small cloud icon to indicate remote connection. Since this connection sometimes drops, the lack of remote connection status indicator reduces the trustworthiness of the device.
That being said, the remote connection is amazing. When you respond, you are responding through your phone (and its number) - fully, not just canned responses - to notifications, gmail, texts, etc. as if you were within bluetooth range. This feature makes it very easy to leave your phone at home without worry to run errands, etc., and get and respond to all of your messages and notifications. If call forwarding could be automatic, that would be even better.
This device is way better than I anticipated. I have been surprised at the overall mediocre to negative reviews. I assume this is mostly Samsung hate.
I have AT&T and call forwarding is automatic on it.

I believe Verizon is too but the special dial code to do the forwarding doesn't work for everyone from what I read.

Mate 20 Pro and Android Auto Call Dialer Bug details

As detailed here (rebuild url by removing spaces);
www. reddit. com/r/Huawei/comments/9w5vwc/huawei_mate_20_pro_android_auto_dialer_bug
It seems the bug stemmed from a missing Voicemail Option settings on the current version (126 and previous ?) of the EMUI.
Looking at my Mate 20 Pro, the Voicemail settings cant be found.
Thus from Android Auto app, an attempt to read the System Voicemail setting will cause program to throw an EXCEPTION error. Now, how do we fix this ?
Disable permissions for contacts and call log worked for me as a temporary fix.
I'm confused as if I press and Hold 1 from the dialler it connects me to my Carriers Voicemail as expected, and that's not something I manually configured.
NB haven't tested with Android Auto as I don't use it
NB I can also reconfigure by going to Call Settings| More| VoiceMail Where there are 4 options
Service Provider : Configured as "My Network Provider"
Voicemail number : configured as "901"
Notification Sound : Select
Vibrate On/Off
O2 UK provided M20P on .122 FW
Edit Add: Just installed Android Auto and starts , runs & seems to work as expected
NB also noticed you referred to the .126 FW which some peeps seem to be getting instead of .122

You are lucky Your version of the firmware provide Voicemail options. I tried looking for mine via press and Hold 1 on the Phone Dialer and viola -- No Voicemail settings i can set to . I also tried to look for it via search on the Android Settings Menu and there is none. Is it a telco activated option or is it because we have a different version of the firmware ?
Also, i did that "remove all the SIM cards" thingy to test if Android Auto will not crash when the dialer is clicked - viola -- Android Auto did not crash.
Now, how do i get Voicemail activated on my side ? hmmm
ok, here is my not so great Android Auto Dialer Bug QUICK FIX
I used TWO (2) SIM cards, 1st one is a Data Only SIM card with no Telephony service placed at slot1 of the Mate 20 Pro. 2nd one is my primary telephony sim card attached in Slot #2.
Settings:
All Data Access on Sim Card 1
Telephone Calls default on Sim Card 2
I discovered that Android Auto will always check which sim card with internet settings and will attempt to get telephony settings from there and since there is no telephony service on Simcard 1, Android Auto will skip the Voicemail setting retrieval and will proceed to display the dialer
From there, i can now initiate the call via Sim Card 2

From your other post I see you have a dual SIM version, maybe that explains the FW version difference.
Question :
Was your phone :
a) bought SIM Free Outright
b) Carrier/Telco provided with contract
If a) then I would have expected it to have all the options avaialble and be unrestricted.
if b) then it may be that your carrier/telco has deactivated some settings to make you pay extra for features.
Do you have Voicemail with your carrier ?

Bought it SIM Free.
I think the telco provider has disabled it but my previous phone which is a Huawei P10 (transitioned to Mate 20 pro a week ago) has Voicemail settings in it
UPDATE:
I recently got a PATCH update from Huawei for Mate 20 Pro FW .126 Patch 02 and VoiceMail options are there and Android Auto Dial Bug is now FIXED
Also, i dont have to remove call log and contact permissions from AA. It is now working as expected
Okay guys, this is an error due to the way the firmware is installed. It all comes down to the carriers and their software. Using the M20 pro on vodafone, AA crashes, doesn’t even start. I’m returning that phone and going with EE, and i forgot AA crashes, tried it just now and it works fine. It’s all to do with the default voicemail setting the carriers have. Also making a voicemail request by holding 1 may work for people having the crash.
Deleted VM no and re added works perfectly now
Happy user!!!
Which means previous versions of the EMUI tend to be buggy on the Voicemail settings. Either a reset of VM for those with the settings available and a f/w upgrade for those without VM options on their phone.

I just tried this and it also appears to be working when opening AA on the phone and going to dialler, just have to try in the car now and fingers crossed it will work.
*edit*
Just tried it in the car and all good also. Who needs the patch lol

Question Few Bugs so far

Hi,
i've been using this phone for the past month (CN Version, Currently on 21) or so and so far I encountered the following problems:
1. Cannot Change the Default Messaging app.
2. Cannot set google as the default assistant
3. Cannot get VOLTE and Vowifi to work for me (Briefly had Xiaomi and used the code to force it to work).
4. Auto brightness keeps screwing up.
5. Cannot disable the market app
if anyone can help, that would be great.
And alot of missed things:
Missing "Choose date format" option. We are locked on american format, month/day/year.
Missing pocket mode.
Missing DeepTool for Android 11 to unlock bootloader. Speaking with support via mail, the answer is:
"Thank you for writing to us, we would like to inform you that
Bootloader unlock support is not yet available for Android 11, please stay tuned over official community."
Edge lighting is limited to 2 warnings. Need that option to be unlimited, until you see the notification. Like led notification before.
Missing "Vibration pattern" on calls.
Missing option to change sim in dialer if you choose a prefered sim. Prefered, not mandatory. If you want to call somebody with the second sim after you set prefered sim, you need to change that to the second sim to call. Too complicated.
Missing contacts manager option. So, you don't have posibility to import/export contacts, to hide contacts without number, to sort contacts in different ways, to merge contacts with same number, to choose what contacts to display(from phone, from witch google account, from sim, etc).
Missing navigation bar customization. To choose whats is happening if you press home twice, or if you press long on back button etc.
Missing option to return call and same sim you get the call.
For me it's not acceptable to launch a phone without posibility to unlock the phone(bootloader, recovery, root) for power users. Now, for me, realme GT it's a beast in a cage.And tied with chains by realme staff.

Seems far too many issues to be able to love this device.
I don't believe Realme software developers intend to tie anything, it's not logical to hinderi purchasers on purpose.
Realme deveopers are simply inadequate and require more time as many bugs were most probably unknown prior to roll out of the device.
....and by the time this Realme can function perfectly, it'll be time for upgrade due to end of the 3 years security support.
Hey. Bought my phone yesterday on Amazon sold/sent by Amazon (Poco F3 died in water).
I don't know why but my phone was already with developer options unlocked. Is it normal?
Besides that, the phone gives a pretty good feeling except a few bugs of ui here and there (full screen gesture often bring me back stock launcher for example.. Same was for the poco) and that I don't see any custom roms/twrp compared to poco F3.
Also noticed that I can't add French dictionary on top of English (set my phone in English) and on whatsapp I have words with underline when I write in French hum.
edit: returned my phone and sticking with my S10e.
