So, neither the Axon 7 or the ZTE VR headset are actually Daydream ready, which is not what I was led to believe!
https://community.zteusa.com/thread/1544
You are correct. The ZTE VR headset is not Daydream ready. At launch of Daydream, only the Google headset will be Daydream ready.
We are currently integrating the Daydream package into Axon 7 now. It requires an Android N upgrade and we need final certification from Google. So please note that Axon 7 is not Daydream-ready the day that Daydream launches from Google. We have said all along that we are working with Google on Daydream, which is true, and that we anticipate that it will receive the certification. We only recently received the final Daydream package so it will take some time to finish the integration on Axon 7 and then get certification. We will make a future announcement when it is Daydream ready.
I think it has the hardware but, as usual, ZTE is lagging way behind with the software.
That official statement answers to all of your concerns.
Not daydream ready? Yet. We knew this before the phone was released, Daydream requires Nougat.
Lagging way behind? They just received the final Daydream package.
A little more patient would be nice.
Damn you for the alarming post title!!!
Of course "Daydream-Ready" doesn't mean "(Al)ready-for-Daydream"! It requires N, logically!
If they're working on obtaining certification for "Ready" instead of "Compatible" then they're confident the phone meets Google's requirements.
Everyone should take a flipping chill pill, dang it!
I dare _anyone_ to come work with the types of BQ and Energy Sistem here in Spain with the same amount of "high standards" they expect, nay, demand from ZTE.
"Not Daydream ready" is a direct quote from the ZTE rep., as you'll see if you read the thread in the link.

I highlighted the important part 4u.
As this article (and many others) shows, ZTE were making many claims in the press that were, let's say, optimistic.
http://www.androidcentral.com/these-are-daydream-ready-phones-so-far
The first Android manufacturer to step up and claim Daydream preparedness did so before Google even had Daydream ready to use, much less the Android 7.0 requirement that followed. Google has yet to officially recognize this as a Daydream ready phone
I do believe we will, some day, get Daydream, but experience suggests it won't be soon.

But did ZTE actually say that, or did these review sites jump to conclusions? On ZTE USA's website, the release day post for the Axon 7 said that Daydream would be coming later: http://blog.zteusa.com/axon-7-officially-on-sale-today/
"It comes equipped to support Daydream, Google’s mobile VR platform, and will be Daydream-ready in the Fall of 2016."

Wow, you people are so freaking impatient. How many phones out there are currently Daydream ready? How many phones outside of Nexus/Pixel has Android N? Stop making click bait topics and put the pitchfork down.
Blows my mind how we are in 2016 and reading comprehension is still not a thing everyone has or can use properly. Nougat Daydream requires Nougat you tool.

I been to a lot of tech forum over the years and ZTE forum def take the cake. I have never seen a bunch of whiny uneducated user group like them.
Every other topics is "Give me X and Y by Z date or I will return the phone, or I will start a class action lawsuit."
I mean it does seem like ZTE wants to get Nougat out asap but we don't even have a release date for their VR set.
Someone mentioned in the other forum the possibility Google had asked ZTE to take down any reference to Daydream. Which makes sense since they're promoting Pixel as the premier phone.
It says that their VR headset, the plastic thing that holds the phone, is NOT daydream compatible.
But if you get the google daydream headset, and after the phone is updated to N and approved by google, then the phone WILL be daydream ready.
So no need to panic, just dont buy the ZTE plastic headset thing and be patient.

Dear All,
We need to support this new thread to have "Windows 10" ROM in our Mi 5/Mi 5 Pro devices, so if anyone know any new news or if someone know how to port the ROM then update this thread directly.

www.technobuffalo.com/2016/02/25/microsoft-said-to-be-planning-windows-10-roms-for-xiaomi-mi-5-oneplus-2/[/url]
BY KILLIAN BELL | FEBRUARY 25, 2016
Microsoft is said to be developing new ROMs that will allow Xiaomi Mi 5 adopters and those with a new OnePlus smartphone to swap Android for Windows 10 Mobile. The firmware would allow potential consumers to try out Microsoft’s latest platform without buying a new device.
Microsoft did a similar thing last year when it released a Windows 10 Mobile ROM for the Xiaomi Mi 4. Clearly, that experiment went well, so the company is looking to do the same for the new Xiaomi Mi 5 announced this week, the OnePlus 2, and the upcoming OnePlus 3.
Would be a good thing for the smartphone, more freedom of choice
Dear All,
Thanks for your comments. You know, I am thinking if there is a way to have "Dual Boot" or even "Triplex Boot" because it's suitable for 64/128 versions. We hope to see something new soon.
Thanks.
I have a Xiaomi Mi 4 with Windows 10, I'm waiting now for the version for mi5
Waiting with open arms as I just recently purchased a mi5

that means , A2017U (USA) and A2017 (Chinese) will get Nougat either this month or the next (December).
I can't say that I'm not a little bit disappointed by hearing January 2017. Being advertised as the first Daydream 'ready' phone, I had my hopes up for an upgrade closer to the Daydream-platform launch today..

If you didn't know Daydream requires Nougat and the phone initially ships with Marshmallow, I can see how that could be interpreted. I just knew it meant it will get Nougat eventually. The chipset is what is important. Older Qualcomm devices cannot support Daydream because they cannot meet recommended performance requirements.
Daydream actually required 7.1 version IMO.
And since 7.1 released couple of weeks ego that's mean
It needs at least 2 months preparation until OEM implement a newer version of Android.
So If US or Chinese version receive it within November/December it will be version 7 and that's not good sign/news at all.
So everyone hope ZTE bring 7.1 version(and NOT 7 i repeat) and doesn't matter who will get it first IMO.
It will be HUGE MISTAKE if ZTE not bring 7.1.

Indeed, let's hope they are skipping 7 and are putting all effort in a good working 7.1.
On official german Facebook page they say Daydream will be supported with Nougat update in January.

As long as ZTE involved to improve it via software.
But until now all Chinese haven't shown any skills for better software processing as for the camera performance.

There is a possibility we will see another camera improvement if zte implement camera2api in the nougat update, however i doubt this because the camera2api has been available since lollipop which has been around for years. On the bright side however they said they might add raw support which you need the camera2api for (unless they want to do a lot of coding themselves). So there is a possibility the camera might get better .

They don't. They are 3 separate teams. While the Chinese and US teams skip numbers (B32? A little bit too much?) our team doesn't. i meant that as proof that they aren't the same team.
Also, if the Chinese version gets O and ours stops being supported, we can just make a custom ROM and install it on our phones. I'm using MiFavor 5 right now on my G
MiFavor 5.2 android 8.0: A short video posted by the same user on 4pda.
I think Axon 8 or 9, whatever they will call it will be next year and we will see Oreo on all A7 variants. It's in ZTE's best interest to get Oreo out and try to keep owners happy and start building some brand loyalty to keep us from buying something else before the next Axon flagship.

Guys I request everyone not to purchase these honor branded devices, even though they are marketed as flagship killers they won't receive proper updates once the device gets past the 6-9 month period, you can't even expect security updates one has to literally beg them, its better to purchase one plus, Samsung and Sony flagships because they are at least guaranteed to receive security update when ever there is a bug and proper OS upgrades, they ditched their flagship honor 7 from receiving nougat update stating Kirin 935 soc isn't compatible with newer update, similar lines this year they ditched honor 8 which boasts another flagship SOC Kirin 950 , stating the same reason its not compatible with newer Oreo update, so it clearly means that kirin 9xx is a flagship grade chip set series from Huawei which is not supportive for future upgrades? So is it good to buy them even after knowing their compatibility issues with future upgrades? I had invested 29k INR in Nov 2016 during honor 8 launch time, India and purchased this device over one plus 3T trusting their 2 year software update policy and security updates for every 3 months, clearly they cheated me and I regret buying honor 8 using my hard earned money instead of one plus device, so i request everyone to boycott honor devices, but the strange thing is honor mid ranges like 655 equipped devices are confirmed for Oreo, its a clear case of cheating to drive growth of newer flagships by ditching older flagships, Huawei as a brand itself has lot of conspiracies surrounding it, its better if we developer community boycott such brands, Good that US regulatory authorities are imposing ban on huawei, I can see the future of this company going down the drain in the similar way they expanded
I request xda please don't support this brand for monetary gains and spoil your reputation!

Ok, i believe i was mistaken on that one, i was pretty sure i'd read that oreo beta was taking place on both the honor 9 and 8, BUT iv'e just checked and it turns out that the honor 8 isn't officially getting oreo.
Either way, as iv'e already stated, once official oreo for the honor 9 is out, and devs get hold of the source, since its a fully supported treble build, i can only assume the custom ROMs should start to appear.
The SOC in the honor 8 is not too different from the kirin 960 (going by the actual ARM cores used in it 4xA53 in both, though the 950 has 4xA72 rather than A73 in the 960), so i can't see there being too much difficulty in porting the source code for the 960 to the 950 (i'm not proficient in this topic, so please correct me if i'm wrong, I stick to application programming, not OS core stuff)
Either way, I HOPE with project treble porting to different CPUs should be easier than it is now (requiring source code from manufacturer etc...) and hopefully we see some more custom ROMs.
Just waiting for lineage 15...

Dear All Mate 10 Users,
I have updated to EMUI 9 (c185) using HiCare app (2 days Back) . I was really looking for google AR core and apps that measure stuff. I am disappointed. Any Solutions? I have never rooted this Mobile and I don't know if rooting is worth it or not (Kindly Guide)
I have gotten Super Slow Motion 940Fps Recording with the update (not sure if EMUI 9 brought it or it was there from before) but I dont like the new interface for camera. I am yet to notice any bad battery backup problem and I'll update on it shortly as well.
I have noticed that my Wi-fi dropped multiple times .. but it seems to have stabled for now (Don't know how, or whether it'll return back...)
Call Quality .. has gone bad, I mean its sometimes good as before or its all static like ... Noticed it few times (Never Happened Before).
Music Application is PATHETIC. Solution for this is needed in my opinion (What do you guys suggest?) I have spotify on my mobile but I am not an avid user, I don't know how I can use Spotify to play my own offline library..
I've emailed Huawei support and the response was disappointing, I've been waiting the Arcore support since they launched the phone, and really hopped they will give us that at same time with P20 line, (since both lines have the exact same hardware aside the extra lens on the pro models), this was the response:
Dear Mr. Mares, receive a warm greeting from the Huawei team.
We understand the importance of receiving all the updates in your Mate 10 so we inform you that the new updates in which we work will be released as soon as possible, this is done gradually to avoid a congestion on the server at the time of the download and that generates an error in the installation, the updates are send by compilation number, regions, stocks and other variants. The arcore update to create 3D objects for the moment dont have a date to be launch in the Mate 10, we are deeply sorry for the inconveniences.
When the update is ready, automatically your device will indicate by means of a notification via HOTA (Huawei Over The Air) which you only have to accept to start the download and installation.
