    Post ???????Update to Android 10??????

    I have had both device's, the RP1 and the RP2. To my mind,these have been the best two devices I've ever owned. I've had HTCs and ZTEs in the past, and at least these have had updates. The first RP1 has gone up two full software iterations so I'm hoping that the RP2 will aswell. HTC sorta...

    Post Display Sometimes Fails To Update

    I had this happen to me, the way I solved it was to activate the labs feature in Nova launcher (you go into the settings front page of Nova then press and hold the volume down button untill you get a message telling you labs has been activated, then go into labs and toggle the refresh widgets on...

    Post SD Card Read only?

    Ok, that clears up the possibility of it being fake:) good good.. ..hmmmmm. Do you have any old phones at your disposal that have a card slot? If so,. Try it in those and see if you can access it and read/write/modify files on it. Maybe format it with another device and then stick it in the...

    Post SD Card Read only?

    Heya buddy, Just a quick enquiry, from where did you purchase your MICROSD? it sounds like you may have a fake card, the memory size is worrying indication, normally cards are sold in denominations of 32, 64, 128, 512,GB not 400 GB. Have you run a check to see if it's reporting the correct...

    Post Three UK Android Pie Update.

    Copy that. I personally find that this distro has better screen response too. My WiFi seems stronger too. I like the auto shutdown feature for WiFi to decrease battery usage. I've turned off that "digital welfare" feature, I don't wanna know what time I spend on apps lol. Also, I've noticed that...

    Post Three UK Android Pie Update.

    Just to let you know, I found this article on the interweb which describes the process of an update being rolled out. It does state that if a carrier wants extra features included in the update, this takes extra time and testing, so that gels with the response I got from the support guys. I am...

    Post Game Booster/Cortex Chrome landscape mode problem .

    Dear sir I believe I have an answer to your problem. The Cortex app is really only needed to enhance and uplift games and system hungry apps. Apps like chrome don't need to be enhanced as they run pretty well with the standard system specs of this wonderful device. Just exclude the main...

    Heya Marvi0, I don't think we do as of yet as the devices have only hit reviews hands so far, there are non out there in the wild, I believe they are only on pre-order as well for this moment. I've opened up a thread regarding the device here, but normally they don't go live till the devices...

    I'm opening up this thread to gauge peoples opinions of whether they will be upgrading to the next iteration of our favourite mobile device.

    Post Update ZTE B2017G V1.0.0B12 OTA question?

    Just a quick post to ask. Does anyone from this forum think the new Axon 9 pro is honestly a piece of sh1t, I call ZTE out as being a sell out to same old same old. It looks shoddy, and it's not an AXON if there are no forward facing Dolby Atmos stereo speakers. It's a shame, yet another iPhone...

    Heya guys. I just wanted to chime in here and suggest a little speaker grille maintenance could be in order, I had the same feeling so I decided to give the grille's a little clear out using a cheap but stiff bristled toothbrush. The sound got immediately better, just to assist. The top speaker...

    Post PSA: Bricking my phone with Fortnite(good educational story and cry for help)

    I received that same error message, but I'm not rooted, it seems the beta hasn't been properly coded to see changes in device status and architecture as ok. I also believe that epic games have bypassed the Google play store as they cannot guarantee the stability of the app and it would be seen...

    Post PSA: Bricking my phone with Fortnite(good educational story and cry for help)

    Firstly, may I empathize with your pain, and I do need to say..."whooops". Maybe this can only be repaired from a RMA to Razer themselves. I'm not someone who roots his Android devices as I prefer them "as is" but I am a major Linux user and faff with those OSes till I break them. maybe contact...

    I would like to chime in here and say I'm a very picky sod when it comes to my smartphone choice, I started with HTC as they were willing to experiment and innovative, I loved my One M7 for its front facing stereo speakers and kept with the range till the M9 when (IMHO) the company lost their...

    If you're not seeing the update message yet, go check in the settings area, just keep tapping the "Check for updates" button. It may take a few bits from your system to spark the update:)

    Post Update ZTE B2017G V1.2.0B09 (7.1 Nougat) OTA out in Europe

    It's not where it's bought, the problem is that the actual software installed on the A7-mini UK version is a country specific as it disables the 2nd SIM as UK networks won't carry a multi SIM device's. It also means the software is a non standard distro. That's why KinkyK's method of updating in...

    Post Update ZTE B2017G V1.2.0B09 (7.1 Nougat) OTA out in Europe

    I think the UK version isn't a standard build. We have a MR version (Merchant Release). It's a company specific distro release and seems to be alien to the rest of all standard update releases. We seem to have been forgotten by ZTE, we didn't get the chance to purchase a full AXON 7 and we seem...
