Nexus 6p again?

[tupirujp]

I have 2 more weeks to return the phone... The phone it's great ( price, build quality , screen resolution ... Battery life got way better Whit time and some apps disable) but it looks like ZTE will never release the factory images for us to play Whit the phone as we like on a way would hate to return it back....
So its that's the case I don't see any other phone worth buying now but going back to the nexus 6p since the upcoming nexus by htc looks more like a downgrade [emoji29] ...
Would you guys consider a downgrade going back to the. 6p ? I saw them at 399 the 64 gigs on Amazon last weeks and I think I should of got it at that price ?

I know there is a new big update coming (base on comments and reply from ZTE Community) and this update may bring the factory image we want, that's the only reason i see why they haven't release a factory image for us to play with, beside CM 13.1 is just days away or less.

Thank you for the fast respond... I see you very active on these community don't know if ur a developer but looks like u have tons of knowledge regarding Android system ... U mean some one it's already working on CM 13.1 wow that would be pretty fast, honestly I would prefer something more stable and less ? drainer like the nexus pure project , it would be hard to port it probably ... I wouldn't even main if it's the stock Rom just polished Whit some tweaks and heavy debloat it oh well will wait those 2 weeks and go from there I really like these phone!

Return it is my advice. Never get a phone based on possible "future" features or upgrades. Don't get stuck with a phone you hate because of wishful thinking that didn't pan out. I been down that path and it's a waste of time.

I have also my concerns with that phone. If we don't have prospect of custom ROMs based on CM or AOSP it is quite useless (for me).
Unfortunately there is not much development going on until now... maybe it's getting better as soon as the deives are everywhere available but maybe not, who knows....
fact is everything is going slow in comparison to other devices mainly caused by ZTE itself

 

[tupirujp]

Its going back tomorrow ?

Slow? The phone has only been out a month and limited at that. We've already got root. You haven't had a phone on day one much have you? This is fast compared to other non Nexus devices.

If you look at the previous gen Axon http://forum.xda-developers.com/zte-axon, mirrors this forum.

You have root, twrp but no custom roms. Keep this device for it's current list of features that's what you get for a $400 phone. You want custom rom, then Nexus 6P or OP3 will have plenty of custom roms to choose from.

im in the same boat but reversed. i just bought the 6p from bestbuy a week ago. its ok but the battery life on 7.0 is subpar and the lcd is pretty bad. the axon 7 looks to offer more bang for the buck. im contemplating exchanging mine today for the grey axon i see is in stock. custom roms will come in time, you have root and an unlocked bootloader.

Edit: just bought the grey axon. reset my 6p and ill be at best buy at 11am.

congrats on settling in. I'm sure you made the correct decision. I'm at your decision-making point regarding my OnePlus One. I've owned a ZTE desktop for 5 years, their customer (based on one call) was excellent. (toll-free 24/7 Lifetime). Maybe different for cellular. I'm sure you will give your impression and I'll look forward to them.
I assume they're immediately available at BestBuy?

Only 2 local best buys had the axon 7 grey available. less than 3 in stock. thats why i bought this morning. these devices are hard to get and are sold out everywhere.

get it, i just rooted and unlocked the bootloader. this thing is gorgeous, fast and the screen is the best ive seen since the s7. plus all of the accessories they give you. not one regret returning my nexus 6p.

I just received mine yesterday. Maybe I would like it better rooted and all haha. Could you help me root mine? I couldn't figure out how to use that program. And could I indoor if I wanted to?(if I ever resell). What's the purpose of BL unlock if you can root with locked bootloader ?

Also one thing I hate is that the Dolby Atmos changes sound profile ..for example if I chose my custom profile and scroll through Instagram it changes to the movie profile ..

just follow the steps there to unlock and get twrp installed. rooting is easy, you just flash the supersu zip in recovery.

Am I able to fastboot oem lock when I am done with the phone ? For resell ..so the next owner can get ota? If not if I rooted with locked bootloader could I still get ota?

sadly i returned mine today and got a 4gb ram model g4+. i loved the axon's look and feel but the software is junk and i had nothing but issues with overheating and random reboots, loosing wifi and iemi. ive learned a valuable lesson. only buy phones with stock android.
