$400 phone vs $650+. The real bonus to me in audio is the front facing speakers, I'd rather have that than the better dac that the v20 has.

Have your vision checked.,seriously. The OP3 is 1080p and pentile, meaning the actual ppi is around 330, which is low and visible. Unless you mash your face right up to the axon 7 (uses the s6's amoled) you wont see the pixels.

Just did a very quick test, and turning flash from auto -> forced worked. Was in a dim but not dark setting.

It's been confirmed already. People have flashed the global rom onto the US model, and it completely fixes the wifi speed.

OP3 also has a 1080p screen, so it's pushing a lot less pixels in games.

Probably, but it could also be because they didnt want or get FCC approval. I'd gladly sacrifice some battery life for better reception though, as when I have 1 bar of lte or some 4g, it takes several seconds to load a web page, and i'm sure the SoT is suffering due to me just waiting for pages...

That nougat logo was put on several dozen phones. All it means are those phones will be getting the update, not soon, not launched with, but eventually.

I agree, for $400 (especially + giftcard and headphones) its a great deal. The two major cons of the device are the reception, and camera. Minor quirks with software can be fixed, and the capacitive button locations can be gotten used to. As a device I'd give it a 7.5/10, as a device that costs...

Thank you. This more or less solves the mystery, now all we have to do is convince zte that they made a mistake on the 2017U software, as it is limited and 2017G isnt.

Can you try something before you switch back? If you have a good router (ac, multiple streams, 5ghz) can you check your link speed? You can use an app like aida64 to spit that info out in the network tab. The reason I ask, is because 2017U (actual models not software) reports 433Mbps being the...

Good find, weird that they seemingly chose the better wifi/bt module for the global/eu version but gave the U.S. the worse of the two. Wonder if it was due to issues with the U.S. network bands? Apparently the OP3 also uses the same QCA6164A 433Mbps chip. Next up is to determine where the...

Can you ask them if there is any news about the reception issues that seem to be plaguing the device? On the zte forums there was a poll of so far 40 people, and 50% are saying they are having reception issues, including me. I really like the phone but do not know if I can deal with the...

Nobody has brought this up.. but the G version has a setting called 'signal boost', and aida64 also reports its wifi is maxed at 866Mbps. The U version does not have that setting and aida64 reports it's wifi is gimped to 433Mbps. Please post an aida64 log if you have the G (eu/international)...

While that is true, a bunch of users on this forum and zte forums have done db tests, and the axon 7 (U) is typically worse than other phones. The U (usa) varient also has half the wifi speed that the G (eu/general) model has (see aida64)

My aida64 is reporting 433 on a US model, with an r8000 router. So I am having the same issue.

hmm. thought there was a toggle for it. the US version definitely doesnt have that screen at all, so I am wondering if you EU guys are actually getting a signal boost or if that screen is just placebo marketing.

If someone has a EU version, could you please go to settings and look for 'signal booster', and tell me if it helps you get better reception (measure it in any app with db's). Because the USA version doesnt have it and has reception issues.

my s4 with a 5" amoled 1080p screen you can easily see the pixels, on the axon 7 you cannot see the pixels.

As I mentioned in the cell strength review, this phone seems to have a small issue with reception. It is getting worse reception of 5-10db than an old s4, when everything is the same. There is a thread on reddit that has more info about this.

The signal strength is worse than my s4, I checked the db and it is 5-10db worse, but occasionally will jump to being on par to the s4. Tested on tmo lte, neither phone was being held. Not sure how the rating is 4.5/5 as a reddit post agrees that there is some issue.

Sucks. I was hoping to keep the device stock as pursuing roms often ends up with other issues and constantly manually updating, and after spending so much time putting roms on my phones I think im done with that. If anyone has a stock solution, i'll donate, because **** getting 20 identical...

Speedtest checks your ISP speed. I am using a an app called "wifi speed test" that allows you to test your local internet speeds.

A bit of an old bump/OT but do you stream 4k over wifi or is it just 1080p? Because my ShieldTV is hating 4k streaming on my 5ghz ac wifi and im not sure what's up.

I bought a 4k TV for my bedroom, and am having difficulty getting a quality LOCAL connection from my router to my ShieldTV and am questioning if the ShieldTV's wifi module/antenna is the weak link. When I stream 4k videos, it always buffers, glitches badly, audio messes up, and when i try to...

Its 10,000 to use electronics, and cruising altitude can vary depending on distance, weather and flight plan. Im pretty sure its the LCD, I removed the screen protector and could not feel the crack. I believe its glued together, and either way I'm not about to pay out $100+ to fix the phone...

Also I have learned that samsung support is horrible and so is their website. I go to make the repair ticket, It wont work in firefox. it then says Im missing part of my address, and it wont let me enter into the text field. So i find out I have to edit my account information, which requires a...

I know youre joking, but that only applies during takeoff and landing, after you reach 10,000ft they will tell you can use it.

So I just finished two 3 hour flights and used my S4 to watch movies during both. However the second flight was NOT pleasant at all. I was watching a movie while the plane was ascending and i saw something horrible happen. A crack appeared on my S4... It happened before my eyes. The phone has...

I have a brand new panasonic TV streamer (DMP-MST60) that does miracast and DLNA, and also a roku. I want to be able to mirror my S4 to one of those devices, but I cant seem to make it work. I know youre supposed to buy the samsung dongle but that seems like a waste of money. I CAN use an app...

Do you have it working? On which CM rom? because I found a post from last month from a CM admin saying that it doesnt work on most samsung phones http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/73468-requesting-for-support-of-screen-mirroring/page__hl__+mirroring#entry390601 But I obviously havent tried...

How did this happen? 173 is not normal driving speeds.. Sky diving?

I dont know if im the only one, but the predicted text causes more problems then it does fix mistakes

I know wicked rom has the international boot animations in the qmg format and that worked for me.

If you search these forums there is a thread from 2 years ago and a costco manager says that it can be done but they almost always refuse because they make commission on the contract. Heres the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044213&page=2 the users name is iceshark...

Ive been looking around for the best price before I bought the phone and I came upon costco's website, they list the retail price as $579.99 which is the lowest Ive come across. However theres a slight problem. They wont let you order it at that price, they want you to go with the $199 contract...

Im switching from sprint and I plan on getting the S4 and using it on the $30 prepaid plan. I looked around and it appears the cheapest place to buy a T-mobile or unlocked S4 is from T-mobile for $630. Of course I tried to order it online and they want me to attach a plan.. I know theres a...

Remove the battery, do you still have root?

Night of the 12th, sent out the 13th. Like I said before, already got an email from tpu-cases with a new tracking order and gift for the delay. I would assume they went through the list and found out which ones were not received and I was one of them. If I do somehow get the original one, I'll...

Yeah I'm in one of the 'other' categories. According to the tracking (which i didnt check till today) the case got sent to 'MADISON, WI 53711' Which isnt my address. I live in virginia, and confirmed my order was submitted with the correct address. Anyways, I got the new email (sent earlier...

OP it would be VERY helpful if you compiled a list of the issues presented in this thread and updated your initial post with them. As I have had a few issues, but seeing as this page is almost 30 pages long, I cannot go through to check to see if the bug has been listed already or there is a...

Hi, I just go back from getting my new 3D, and while the sprint rep was activating it and making sure it worked, he mentioned it would take a minute to update.. But then later mentioned it would take quite awhile to update and showed me where to download the updates. Whats the none updated...

http://pocketnow.com/android/htc-rider-revealed-as-htc-evo-4g-image Basically an Evo 3D without 3D and one better camera. They are even using the same casing for the most part.. Still tempting if it was available because I still think the 3D will be a gimmick. **** repost. sorry.

So I preordered my evo 3d from a sprint corporate store, got the $50 giftcard and am #2 on the list. (did this the first day they started preorders). Now there's an issue.. My father, the owner of the sprint account is away and wont arrive back in time for a week or so after the 24th.. Which is...

it was on his phone. I saw the icon when he first started talking about the apps. He mustve just missed it

Incorrect. The fact they are downclocked to 1.2 could very well be because they were unstable at 1.5. And the stable 1.5 chips are being saved for another device down the road. Intel, amd, and nvidia do this all the time, so its very well possible that these are reject 1.5 ghz chips. They will...

If the rumored specs are even close to being accurate youll be waiting till next year.

Um, just so you know quad core chips will be available by Q4, and that means phones will actually get them Q1 next year at the VERY earliest, but more likely Q2-Q3 for it to hit the market. You can look at the public roadmaps released for most of the processor manufacturers and then add a few...

I just want to say thank-you to all of you who contributed in this protest. I was really surprised by how many people backed this movement, and honestly, this is one of the best endings we couldve hoped for. As we get what we want, HTC is now beloved for promising to not lock bootloaders...

In all likely hood its both htc and sprint, but by voicing ourselves to htc the word will reach sprint anyways. And its a lot easier to rally people behind one 'evil' then two.
