ZTE Axon 7

[cyrilng]

Thanks. Haha so they over stated the capacity. But for such calibre and ~150mah, it doesn't really bother me much though.
What bothers me is theres different ROM and model for different market. This puts me in a dilemma.
The Nubia z11 seems to be able to flash ROM interchangeably but cost higher with lower specs.

There's also the Axon 7 6gb/128gb model also from China but it's around $1000.

I'll skip the 6gb version as cost/usage year is on the high side.
The 4gb works out to be about $200/year so its still reasonable to me.

Beware of the AdUps software on the china model. It's been reported that it transmit sensitive data to AdUps's main server

Don't think there's a way
The software is there for OTA updates

I think it's disabled on export sets from China that's why mine is still stuck at b07 and won't update.

From the xda forum, people say that if the phone is rooted it won't receive/update via OTA
I'm guessing yours is rooted by the seller to install google playstore that's why it won't update.

Well then you can manual update your axon 7
I can't for mine tho. Till now still stuck at B02. Gives me an error when updating

When I first got the phone I checked with Root Checker to see if it was but it said it wasn't.

I then tried using towelroot to root it but it didn't work and now Root Checker says it's not properly rooted or something like that!

That's why I dare not try updating it manually plus the boot menu is in Chinese which is not my forte! Haha

The upgrade file is only applicable if you are at B08. As usual, upgrade at your own risk.

Have you got Accubattery or Ampere app installed to check? Accubattery recommends that you charge till 80% only to extend battery life.

No IR blaster. Camera is ok but not so great for night shots.

Is yours a local set? If so just bring it to the service centre. If overseas set, ota update isn't supported.
