I can kinda understand the two, as in the tech world the watch is getting old, but the 3 supprised me. Then again, the 2 hasn't had at least two major software updates, so I'm a bit disappointed.

I wouldn't be surprised if one of the developers port android Oreo to the Asus zenwatch 2

Have you looked at the current Android Wear watches? They aren't too far off spec wise from the Zenwatch 2.

Hi DannNL, I'd like to reach out to you after seeing your WebWear development. I'm looking for a developer to create a custom ROM for Android 5.1 Smartwatch, please reach out to me with your contact/email when available. Thank you

Yeah it's too bad about the alpha but it seems right now people want 5 inch screens so it loses out on that. I would recommend the S5 or HTC one m8, both have great dev support. But the best idea is to wait for spring/summer when the S6 and the new HTC is released

Since quite a lots of android users switched-to/switched-back Iphone now because of 4.7"/5.5" Iphone launched. You really don't expect any android discussion board will be as busy as in the old age, the time has gone. Another major reason is nowadays people slowly upgrade their smartphone because hardware is started to mature. When you look on XDA, you will know many new phones development board isn't that active now.
I'm now with Z1 Compact and also thinking to upgrade to Z3 Compact or Alpha or S6(if it manage to smaller than S5 in size a bit) in around March/April. I think mostly I will pick Z3c or Alpha because I believe S6 would be too expensive to me and excess my budget but I will put an eye on it. Z4/Z4c/Z4U is almost sure to hit a big delay now, they will all announce only on May/June sometimes. So, I decided to don't wait them now.
If you like Alpha, just go get it. It is a rare Samsung phone though almost no development here but the phone itself is very capable without any support. If you want a little bit bigger community and need a microSD slot, then pick Z3c.

Switching to Iphone from more matured system? Iphone was good and impressive like 3 generations ago when android wasn't so matured system, nowdays I don't see a reason for people who own for example a S4 to switch to Iphone.
The latter part is very true, a 100€ phone can handle basically anything that basic user throws at it. And the devs and other people who can get more out of their current older phones trough custom roms, don't really have reasons for upgrade.

You gonna search more information. Iphone market share worldwide is same with Samsung in 2014 Q4 and already excess Samsung now in 2015 Q1 so Apple is the No.1 smartphone company again now.
System-wise is always Android better but since Iphone borrowed more and more functions from Android in every generation OS, the gap in different will just become smaller in long run. But on the other hand, Iphone still owns the most best apps and even both platform got the same one, IOS one usually performs better.

Only G3 or S5 or M8 have active development I can name(Z3/Z3c isn't active coz most people still using Z1/Z1c/Z2) but M8 camera is really suck I don't suggest it. And you don't like plastic samsung so no S5 I think, only G3 leave.
S6 will use Exynos and no S810, this time S6 development should not be very active as well because Exynos is harder to support. G4 will also hit a big delay becoz GFlex2 will out first on March/April, G4 won't appear until May/June much like Z4.
I feel bad right now cus im hoping to see alot of roms for this great device but i guese i was wrong.Im not upset or anything but this is why we buy android phones instead of iphone we need to change to somthing new

Unconfirmed: 7.1 Nougat may not be released for 6P until 2017

Google has informed us that before the end of the calendar quarter (aka before 2017), Nexus devices and the Pixel C will receive a developer preview for Android 7.1 Nougat. It's unclear which Nexus devices will receive it, but the 6P and 5X definitely will, and the 6 and 9 might.

According to AndroidPolice
http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/1...vices-pixel-c-will-land-end-2016-dev-preview/
Nexus line is dead. This is the nail in the coffin.
No surprise they're not going to release their major Pixel selling point to Nexus devices. But yeah, the Nexus is dead. This menu updated have gone now.
I bought a nexus 2 months ago cause the nexus experience was awesome I want to cry....
Google try to make 7.1 special for Pixel Phone.
XDA will save the Day!
Who knows maybe a port can be done. Let's wait it out.
So disappointed with Google today...

The only thing wrong?
REALLY?
I bought a 6P because i like having the latest version of Android and I also develop on it. And because google promised it (which turns out as false advertising, at this point)
What now? Will be only 7.1 delayed or every release? We will see another major upgrade?
By what I saw today, google's intentions are not anymore in the nexus line, so I can't even expect another major version of Android this time around.
Google may haven't lost money, but they surely lost a lot of customers trust. And trust isn't easy to build.
But it seems they couldn't care less.

Couldn't agree more. At this point I'm just convinced that Google is lost. They are trying so hard to re-invent themselves as some kind of Apple/Samsung/Amazon Wannabe that they have screwed everything up. I mean come on, Pixel EXCLUSIVE features? Seriously? Delayed releases for the Nexus Line?
Google you have just lost a customer today. My wife and kids wanted to move away from iPhone, and I was hoping for the Pixel to do so, but there's no way. I'm not even sure where to go now. I hate TouchWiz, I want a phone I can unlock the boot loader on, root, etc. Maybe the LG V20 will turn out better, but it's been MIA now for weeks.
I didn't realize until today how high of standards I hold my 6P too, and how I'll not be able to move away until something truly amazing comes along (and I'm really hung up on having front facing stereo speakers now)

Sd card slot, waterproofing, HDR screen, always on display, front firing speaker, wireless charging, OIS. There's a lot of good useful features the Pixel doesn't have and you could get in a phone cheaper.

Yup. I started android with HTC. Was burned with promised OS updates on the Hero, gave them a second chance and was burned again with promised OS updates on the Evo LTE, jumped to Nexus to avoid having that issue ever again and here I am wondering when we are going to get updates and what "features" are they going to withhold for no reason other than greed.

Few answers for European users waiting for Nougat

Heres a bit of an update for you guys!
> When Nougat is released it will be the Android 7.1.1 version.
-- It will take some time to finish, they are perfecting it as the USA version released too early and was found to have many bugs after release, the beta test was too short.
> Root is still in the process - Am unsure if this is for Nougat/Marshmallow and how this is going to work, but internally the process has sped up now, so we will see it after Nougat release.
Hope this helps.

Haha just kidding, its true what rikin93 said zte said that in the beta tester group.
good to hear
This is such good news!! Made my day
But 7.1 will take a bit longer. They actually testing it intern before we test it in the beta.
I sure hope that proper device encryption (including password at bootup that is used for encrypting the internal storage) will be supported for A2017G soon. They promised it for B10 but it didn't seem to have it made into that release. I still have hope that it will show up in Nougat. Is it actually present in the A2017U Nougat release?
There will be official method to unlock phone as you said few weeks ago ?

A2017U has a password ta bootup in Nougat. Wasn't present in MM.
Good to hear that but personally I have my doubts will get directly 7.1.1.
But ZTE should had focus from beginning to that version since have been delay the upgrade to 7.
Since we will get it within March so they are having plenty of time for preparation and no excuse of getting 7 instead of 7.1.1.

Not quite right
There's a similar topic on the official german forum about this. It was commented by ZTE staff yesterday:
"Hello Axon 7 friends!
It seems to be false statement about the update. I want to correct it:
ZTE Germany will publish Android 7.0 at least at the end of the first quarter of the year.
The confusion might have been occurred since the developers are already working on 7.1.
Your Z-Community-Team"

Excellent. I will have moved to a better phone by then.
The signal on this phone is so poor compared to other phones. The sound is great but the software is slow and buggy. The camera is awful compared to many mid range phones. And the support is just rubbish. I'm afraid it was cheap for a reason.
It is only the sound which keeps me using this phone. The new LG will have a quad DAC and that will remove that need. It's a shame but when you compare this phone to my main daily driver - an iPhone 7 Plus (I always carry two phones for various reasons), this is a poor relative, way way behind in 2nd place. If my Note 5 (my other alternative for my second phone) had half decent sound, this phone would have been sold ages ago....

Well with quality control issue with several LG flagship latest years I wish you really good good luck.
You will need 100%.
Also with 3200 battery at 5.7 inches with battery hungry and horrible quality LCD screen LG provide men you will be the best wall charging friends.
With the exception of low light camera performance everywhere else it's at top level and 6 months having the device not had any issue mention.
Before Axon 7 had S7 Edge so you can count that if wasn't pleased I would have returned back to Samsung very easy to me.

What utter nonsense. The modular G5 was plainly a stupid idea. The G4, V10 and V20 were much better. I suspect Samsung will also start adopting decent DACs as well.
Battery life? Also nonsense. My Note 5 has a 5.7" screen and a 3200 battery and lasts as long as, if not longer than, the Axon.
As to signal, I have tested the two side by side and the Axon always loses signal much more quickly. I am not alone in this - loads of reports of it. Bluetooth? Pathetic.

Low light performance ? What about average or high light performance. By modern standards, the camera really is appalling.
And top level performance? Really? Mine (and many others) has never upgraded itself. I have always had to download the updates and apply them. Each upgrade has brought major bugs and the OS skin is appalling (let's not even discuss the notification bell) and buggy. I am not being subjective here - put it next to a Note 5 (which has a much older processor and awful, slow touchwiz) and you will see how the axon is so much less smooth and really struggles when you put it through its paces.
I am not trolling - I have just been around for a long time and seen what is possible in the evolution of phones. Other than the sound quality (which is phenomenal, even if the Bluetooth strength is absolutely crap compared to other phones) the Axon 7 just does not stack up. It wouldn't be an issue if it had been a really cheap phone....
Yes, it is ahead of the OP3 (but probably not the 3T) but that is hardly a good benchmark, not least given the prices
Just my two cents. Not expecting agreement in an Axon 7 forum!!!

State of 8.* development for G5?

I've had a G3 d851 for a couple of years and am currently running crDroid v4.0, 8.1. I'm thinking of moving to a G5 and so I've been looking through these forums to see what rom I might use if I bought one. It seems that there is very little development of 8.* roms for the G5 which is surprising considering the G3 has crDroid, RR, and AICP at 8.1 off the top of my head. I'm wondering why a much newer phone seems to have less 8.* development. Or is there something I've missed from my quick perusal of this forum?
105 views with no reply. What's the record
I guess the lack of replies is my answer as far as the development of 8.* on this phone. Kind of sucks because although I do want to advance as far as phones go I didn't want to go backward with the software.
Maybe there is another good phone out there with a removeable battery and sdcard?

I've had the G5 for almost 2 years now and development has always been slow. Right now I'm looking at other phones as well, my main choice being the Huawei Honor View 10 since it has an SD card at least. I don't think any phone still has a removable battery :crying:
My other choices would be HTC U11+ and Moto Z2 Force, both with external SDs ... but those 2 don't have any roms at all so far. The View 10 has 4 or 5 for Oreo already, so that's looking much better than the other 2 and hell, better than the G5 with 0 Oreo roms :laugh:

Thanks alot for the reply, was starting to feel pretty lonely here.

Well Huawei gave the View 10 to pretty much every dev, from different roms to Magisk :laugh:
Thanks to Treble development seems to be easier now, but the Kirin difficulty is the reason I haven't made up my mind 100% so far. I still have almost 3 months to decide though, that's when my current contract is up ... I'll either get a cheap one and wait for THE right phone or a more expensive one WITH a phone.

Back on topic: If you're happy with stock or custom stock roms the G5 is still a great phone. AFAIK it only has issues on custom roms since they can't seem to get some stuff working properly like NFC, fast charge or Bluetooth calling. I'm pretty sure custom stock roms don't have those problems so if you can live with one of those then go for it :good:

Decided to make the change. Will miss you.

After my Axon got wrecked, my service center replaced my whole device under warranty, so I didn't unseal the box and managed to sell it for 200€.
I'm getting paid in the end of the month and will pick up the Pocophone F1 in the Axon's place.
It's been a wonderful journey owning this phone, great dev support, wouldn't have used it this long if it wasn't for that.
A big thank you to everyone in this forum, I'll miss you.

Thank you for all your support to the community.
Hope you will have some good time with your new phone.
I am using Xiaomi devices since one year and I love the battery life.
Unfortunately the Axon became unusable as a daily driver, because newer ROMs have terrible battery life. So it became more a multimedia device for usage at home.

Good to know xiaomis have great battery life, some poco users reach 8 and 9 hours of screen on time

After my Axon got wrecked, my service center replaced my whole device under warranty, so I didn't unseal the box and managed to sell it for 200€.
I'm getting paid in the end of the month and will pick up the Pocophone F1 in the Axon's place.
It's been a wonderful journey owning this phone, great dev support, wouldn't have used it this long if it wasn't for that.
A big thank you to everyone in this forum, I'll miss you.

Hahaha, made me laugh, thanks man.
I did ended up bought zenfone 5z mainly for the performance and battery life. I'm gonna keep the axon 7 for backup and sometime use for multimedia device. The dual speaker on axon 7 is one of the best feature I ever use.
For the headphone jack performance. At first, the jack output on 5z was low compare to the axon 7. But after update the output was much better and maybe on par with the axon 7.
The same case for our global axon 7 way back on android marshmellow when headphone output was limited because the EU law and it was fixed on nougat.

See ya man, thanks for your contributions towards this device's community. Been shopping around myself, but think I may hold out a little longer for the next gen phones.
Oh thanks for the offer by the way... :silly:
Great choice.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S9 inbound, to replace the 2016 ZTE Axon 7. After doing some research, it came down to the LG G7 ThinQ or the Samsung Galaxy S9. I had been holding off to wait and see the new Google Pixel 3, but I just cannot see paying $ 800 for the base model and most of the reviewers still prefer the S9. Amazon sells the 64 GB black Galaxy S9 for $ 620, and that was as good a price as I could find, with the added bonus of more points on the Amazon credit card. This is for the unlocked version, good for GSM and CDMA US carriers, and has a US warranty. I will initially switch my Cricket SIM card into it, while my wife looks into adding it to her Verizon plan. Verizon has much better service in this area than does AT&T/Cricket, and she thinks she can get some sort of family plan or discount. I wanted to have the option of a phone that I could switch between Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and their resellers as needed.
This will be my first Samsung phone, but the people I know who have that brand seem to like them. I am keeping the Axon as a backup and media device.
I'll make the switch after the Axon 9 is released in the US. At that point it will either be the A9 or the Galaxy Note 9. I've heard good things about both, it's a close tie. I'm accustomed to Samsung Android, having owned several of them, but the Note 4 was the last. I'd really like to give ZTE another chance. I just had my A7 returned from a warranty repair, working good as new. There is no real need to get rid of it, but I like to have the latest. The A9 will need to be bootloader-unlockable, rootable, and TWRP available before I'll consider it. I'm sure there will be some good Treble ROMs for both devices.
Nooo!!! Ty for everything

It's a beast to be honest but I miss the axon.
I'm facing a very annoying touch latency issue which is to be resolved soon hopefully by a software update, but until this gets solved the axon performs better.
U left right before official oreo released
Official b20 itself isn't so great but hopefully everything else from it will help with development

Eeh, **** happens some times in life.
I'm most likely going to refund the poco and get an Oneplus 6, I 'll be losing some features but at least it will be fast with good battery life and no problems.
