:crying: I just got this email to fill out to beta test Nougut.
Looks like we should get it on February or March.
Received email, completed survey. In a supreme cosmic coincidence, I got the email moments after picking up my Daydream VR. The universe is sending me a sign!
I think that they might be releasing Nougat without Daydream initially. If the new questionnaire is any indication because they asked a lot of questions about Daydream capability.Also, it takes, at least, 7 days to verify a rom with Google. So unless they already have a nougat rom cooked (maybe without daydream?), it's definitely slipping to February.
Paging @DrakenFX. I told you we won't be getting nougat
Truly disappointing. Glad that I sold my A7 today.
Yes, very disappointing if true! That nearly borders on false advertising, in fact. It would be a shame to buy a 'daydream ready' phone when in fact it is not daydream ready.

Eh...Long update. But at least the beta testing proves that they care about bug testing. THAT, I can get around.
At this rate, it seems like end of feb might be a possibility. I'm suspecting probably end of q1..
This sucks big time.
Anyone looking to buy an A7? My Huawei Mate 9 arrives today.
Filled the form out. Found the "Is your phone rooted" question interesting. I don't remember that being on the first one.

Yeah I got that too and answer yes. Figured I don't really care if I get in or not, cause my ? will be running LinageOS 14.1.

Yeah, Answered yes too. Hoping maybe they are looking for some rooted users to test updating from a rooted device or something. Ether way LOS looks like they will be releasing soon so not worried.
All you people complaining, wouldn't you rather wait longer for a bug free update? A lot of OEMs are having trouble with Nougat and if it takes them till March then so be it because I want MiFavor to be fixed.
All the people are complaining here, but hey Motorola also did this. The Moto Z Play was scheduled for Nougat update in December but latest updates point to a feb-march release. If you really want those updates so much buy a Pixel for twice the price.

Exactly. I don't get why people are acting like Nougat is the Holy Grail and they'll die if they don't get it.
Android has changed a lot. I remember the wait for Lollipop when the newest Android version was 4.x, and for a good reason: Lollipop changed a lot about Android, and I'd lay a claim that it changed more than the M->N update. I don't have a lot of hope that ZTE would give the Nougat on Axon 7 a top notch UI flow, but I do hope silly stuff get fixed (ie excessive background killing due to app battery consumption, big ugly "clear all" button that gets mistakenly pressed all the time). Daydream... I'm not sure. Depends on the headset and also more importantly, actual good games that get released on the platform.

I saw that story today, looked at the calendar and realized one big contributing factor: Chinese New Year is on Saturday. A billion people are currently taking trips to their home towns to celebrate for two weeks, then travel back to the city. Not much gets done for about three weeks around the holiday. Hopefully around the middle of February they'll be back to parse what the second round of beta testing brings up, in which case... maybe end of Feb, early March we'll get Nougat, if all goes smoothly.
I'm a little disappointed, but it's not a big deal for me. I'm pretty happy with the phone as is.
I don't know if you are informed but in the last weeks there were very bad news about this company:
- LeCloud closes on June 30
- Job cuts in India and in the USA
- Former employees have denounced LeEco and they are creating a new company
- CEO & CFO dismissals
- Arrests for industrial espionage
- Sale of land purchased in the USA
- Allegations of misappropriation
- Missed the deal with Vizio
- Closing of the EcoPass service
Well, what about the future of this company?
Who will supports our devices?
Noone knows I think, it's cheap phone with good specs so people buy it. If you worry maybe buy other brands instead. LeEco is like living on the edge now but they still make new phone I think. Don't worry they not shutdown yet.

The situation is worse than you think, trust me.
Seems like they might even not release le max 3 (x850) despite the early image leaks few months ago ?
I heard that they stopped smartphone production.
I read this:

I got 2 LeEco phones I am not worry, you can still use the phone whatever happen. They just bought Coolpad too so I don't think it's bad maybe people assume too much.

Not everyone, what we got for stock Eui Marshallow 21S, 23S, 26S everything work fine. If you like flashing there is also many custom Nougat roms to enjoy . Even with new stock Nougat rom, not much change for the device maybe some cosmetics stuff, looks etc which not really matter for me.
If I like update/new rom I will buy Xiaomi or Google phone not LeEco.

For every company, update their smartphones is an obligation (security patch and so on) and a demonstration of seriousness. I'm using the Resurrection Remix on my Le Max 2 and Nougat custom ROMs are incomplete just because LeEco still doesn't release Nougat officially.

As I said you can use stock Marshallow roms everything work fine. 6.0,7.1, 8.0 what's the difference? not much
Before I bought the phone I know the situation for the official rom update we might get or not get it. Above all there are more important things in life than smart phone.

Please, don't make philosophy in a tech forum. Nougat is a too much important upgrade (especially for big smartphones) to be ignored. Why are you defending this company so much? These are the facts and they are not good.

It's so difficult to just talk about the situation without polemicize or "fanboying"?
You're being obnoxious... People aren't buying this phone because of the LeEco brand, they're buying the Le Max 2 because it's a $196 phone with unbeatable specs for the price. There's no brand loyalty involved, it could've been from any other random Chinese brand for all I care. TBH, you have to be pretty ****ing stupid to expect any kind of support, either from the online Chinese stores that sell this phone to you at heavily discounted prices, or LeEco, a brand that I never heard of until recently. I already knew that their smartphone division was failing, so as people have been telling you... we bought this phone because of the specs and decent XDA support, I never expected LeEco to provide updates, matter of fact, some of the Le Max 2 variants ship with stock ROMs that have no update function like the American X829 variant.
I always been a big fun of HTC, but when I dropped my Samsung, I was shopping for the phone with good battery life. U11 came out at the same time but was nothing excited about it and I looked at LG G6. No doubt, it was a great looking phone, probably the best looking no-bezel phone at the time of it’s release. Awesome battery life and only $599
So… I got one from HK. It came with all toys including large memory 64Gb of RAM and Quad DAC audio processing. But no wireless charging. Its for US market only. Smart people at LG probably thought it’s a great idea to give SEA customers more RAM because their songs are longer. Someone must’ve spent lot’s of money on this research. US model came with no Quad DAC…
So now one year later, my phone sitting with September 2017 security update. Indian model had March update already. Again, LG must think there is a reason to secure this particular region more than HK. Who will hack anything in HK one may ask?
Just before releasing LG7, LG creates software update center to ensure updates and updates Korean version just before LG7 is released with another gimmick called ThinQ. And yes, it’s not even Oreo 8.1
So will you upgrade to G7, which cost almost $1000, has nothing to offer other than AI (which was promised to be on 8.0 update for G6, but isn’t) Will you buy any of LG phones? You guess my answer…
I love my G6, I can run it almost 2 days, wide lens camera is awesome, but I do not have phone which manufacture will obsolete in less than 1 year.
Luckily HTC U12 will be out at the end of the month, I can wait.
I can wait for OnePlus 6 as well..

Or you can just wait another couple of monts and get the oreo update...
And when you buy the phone you know it have no wireless charger, or not?
I don't know why people use xda only for complaining, never a solution. And I don't speak about your particular situation, but in general. Some of mine last phone was oneplus 3t and nexus 6, and people complain about update also on them. Thing like 'OMG yesterday pixel 2 got this and we not, why, cry...' or 'never another oneplus because....' all the time.
I normally choose a phone because I like it, if I don't I buy something else.
If I buy a thing and after some time I write on the forums that this thing is horrible, I think I will appear dumb...
Nothing personal, just my two cents.
No Way I do the same mistake and buy an LG phone again! Very bad supporr.
This company does not respect their costumers
Nah I'm getting a Pixel or OnePlus in a few years. LG is getting bad. I don't like the software skin either.

Fact is that G5 received more updates (and it's actually more up to date here in Europe) than G6 in the same window of time, this is not a predictable thing, moreover when G5 was one of the first devices to receive Nougat.

You are right, that is a big problem, we can cry together until LG do something.
In your list of reasons why you bought the phone was there any though given to the update frequency? Yes, because lg said that the device was to get updates on par with the other devices released at the time. Google is getting ready to drop Android P and we're still on 7 that in itself is reason enough to be disappointed in lg. I think I'm still on the Dec patch. They can't even get those to us with some reliability. Then there's the locked versions where you can't root the thing and do it yourself if nothing else.

This is awesome news indeed. Here's hoping.
I am not sure if they are required to be certified before releasing the update though. Keep an eye on this link too

Couldn't disagree more. The Axon 7 was definitely good enough to create some buzz. If they want to build on this little success, they should do everything possible to make their customers happy and give them the promised Oreo update. If they don't, they have to start all over with close to none loyal following left.

The funny thing is how many of us promoted the Axon 7 once we gave it a shot and had the surprise of how great it was. ZTE listened to its customers input. Especially with the Axon line. My modest (possibly desperate) hope is that the Axon 9 was ready for market already prior to the ban. If ZTE has any sense, they will get the Axon 9 out sooner than later while those of us that will latch on and promote it, use it, and love it are still hopeful. I realize many have already moved on to OP6, etc.
i am still holding out. someone had said at one point ZTE would need to rebuild confidence first, but in my opinion, the perfect way is to release the axon 9 alongside pixel 3/XL and Note 9 and before one plus 6t. There is a slot just for that phone. Budget, but not cheap, but cheaper than OP6.
if they focus on their budget phones and let the budget flagship Axon line fall further behind, they have no more runway with enthusiasts. I am glad they are still doing warranty repairs and that they are playing ball with the ban lifting requirements, but at this point, we are long overdue for new hardware. Im also hoping they keep bands for Verizon, even though it will never be certified by big red. Just keeps options open. and gives an advantage over One Plus.

Well, a lot of money was spent already on developing the update before the ban. They announced it in December if I recall correctly. And from what we could see in the leaked beta, it was almost done.
So I think that it does not make sense to cancel the update when it's 90% over.
Also, we need to remember that ZTE is a government owned company of one of the world's economic super powers Money is not really a big deal for them I would imagine. The fines will probably be supported by the Chinese government and ZTE will be just fine.
Oh nice. I just got this phone 2 days. Got it because its Daydream compatible for a great price. So it would be even better to get an OS update.. but not even necessary.
I contacted Elephone about the update and their response is attached.
Can we then just ask then to just release the source if they won't release an update? I'm sure members here will be able to support.

I don't think they will release the source code, in order to do that we need a leak..
Plenty of people have asked them for the source. I think we have to face it. This is a value device if you're lucky enough to have a unit without bugs, and you don't mind being stuck on Android 7.1. In a year or two you'll junk the thing or give it to your kids to play with. For now you can either enjoy what you got or sell it and take a chance on another cheap phone.
