I'm still waiting for reviewers to test it and compare with the HTC 10 and LG V10.
It's loud. Music does sound notably better than my moto x or iPhone 6 plus with the same headphones.
Blutooth does. Wonder if you could make wifi headphones.
Actually thats kind of why I wished Apple would try and make its own wireless spec for headphones, just yo see if some could make something much better than blutooth.

My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
Next year it will work great should be Bluetooths slogan.
Hell yeah. Just in time for me to sell my Axon 7. Hah
Yeah, I'm not upgrading from my 6P until we do, or I go somewhere else for a phone. I still miss the slight size down from the Nexus 6.
While bluetooth itself is a pretty shitty standard, it's even worse on Android specifically. Riddled with bugs.
When it works it's great but there are too many occasions of inconvenience and it's too easy to interrupt. Walking through a crowded station would result in choppy music.

I think the biggest issue is that 2.4Ghz Wifi interferes with Bluetooth. One spot in my university always drops my connection.
It also seems to be implemented very poorly by some manufacturers. I've noticed cars especially cause trouble and it's not rare they crash my phone while my headset only once or twice corrupted the connection where all that happened was no audio came through.
I know I've had continuous trouble connecting my glucose meter to my phone. Continuously failing to connect/losing connection/having trouble pairing. I've resorted to pairing it to my ipad, which whilst not perfect is a lot more reliable.
What makes 5.5 inches screen phones too small for you guys? What can't you do on a 5.5 that you can on a 5.7 or 6 inches and why not at that point buying a small tablet?
I watch stuff at work and the bigger screen matters, but I can't bring a tablet to work as well as my phone. They also don't do a Pixel C with a cellular connection and I can't use the work WiFi, so I need to use my unlimited 4G.
Typing is also more comfortable as I have large hands. The "one hand usage" everyone bangs on about with smaller phones wasn't an issue for me on the N6. I can touch all parts of the screen in potrait held in one hand.
Yep. It's a bad standard anyway, but Google changed Bluetooth stack in Android 4.2 and made a total fucking hash of it and never really fixed it properly.
Problem is nobody thinks a better standard will happen. If it did it would be proprietary and that would be even worse.
Looks like ZTE released the kernel source code of the Axon 7.

Looking for some quick phone recommendations. Currently a Moto G 2015 user but the poor touch screen accuracy is driving me insane.
4-5" - 5.0"
720p ideally (for battery)
2GB / 16GB with SD card
No bloat
I am not a heavy user just want a decent smooth experience
Bonus: Double tap to wake
UK budget around £130. I was thinking about the Wileyfox Swift or Blu Life Mark on Amazon but not sure on either of those.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Yeah I use it daily in my car, and no problems here either. Works great.

You guys think there's any truth to the rumor that N is coming with the August security updates?
Seems fishy to me.
Seems fishy to me.
I think it's a safe bet it's coming out before the new Nexus devices this time, but that does give August and September updates a possibility.
Think the most recent preview version is the smoothest Android preview I've ever used. Haven't had a single bug on the 6p yet so it night be ready for primetime.

never had an issue with bt to the car. its the headsets with the phone in the pocket and on the move, its just occasionally enough that I feel like i hit the scrub button somewhere on the phone by accident.
now im curious what their warranty states for tinkering around with their phone. This stuff varies between companies.
dings on the software. Going to be curious how agile axon is going to be on that front, especially with security.
Still kinda pissed that they give this shitty ass mi-pop thing instead of optional android navigation buttons on the screen like oneplus.

It should be mentioned that ZTE has said they will update to Nougat this year.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Pocket Casts is acting weird for me.
Wouldn't have noticed it, but due to having shit space on my tablet I reformated. Upon wanting to listen to the new NVC on my tablet I added it back on my tablet post format. Boom I got different art. Checked my phone and still the old shitty art.
Weird.

have you tried 'fresh podcast artwork' in appearance?
podcast art has always been finicky. Had them all disappear after switching stuff to SD card.
reboot? If the problem is consistent, RMA it.
Disable bluetooth?

Seems like the concern about not getting updates is nnotreal at the moment. ZTE must be really serious about improving their image.
On a side note, I find the Dolby filter to enhance the voices on podcasts quite well.
Would you be able to try an actual ATMOS 7.1 movie in MKV format like Gravity or John Wick (with headphones), and share your opinion?
I have the bluray of said movies and one of the things I am dying to try is to see whether actual ATMOS mastered audio can be accurately reproduced on the Axon 7, using it's virtual surround settings and ATMOS virtualization. If it does work, I'd expand my ATMOS physical library and rip my discs for (personal) use with the Axon.
The only downside is that we are talking about 25-30GBs MKV files, if encoded in h264.

If they can really up the performance, lower the heat and keep the same, if not better, battery life than the Nexus 6P for about the same price as when the 6P launched, then it's a huge winner.
It's HTC tho...
Plus it's allegedly smaller, so BOOOOO to all that.

Hey, the HTC 10 isn't a bad phone. Just too damn expensive.
Did the factory reset with no good results, rarely use Bluetooth so it was off as well. Just doing the warranty exchange with T-Mobile, should be here no later than Wednesday hopefully.
12 days in of usage is pretty bad, just hope this isn't a consistent issue.

Seriously, never again.
I hope that this is the final time Google let them make Nexus devices, I would hate to lose that stock experience.

Nexus only too
It does look really good but I hope other devices can make use of it....although Google are locking more and more behind nexus.
EDIT: Looking at it that tinted bar would piss me off actually
