Check all specs on asus Indian website
6. I have heard Zenfones support usb OTG?
Only zenfone4 has OTG support as of now see this video
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54567674&postcount=13
Zenfone5 & 6 do not support as of now on 4.3,
Asus is indeed testing & considering OTG support on 4.4 kitkat but will it be launched or not is not yet known so kindly wait till official announcement about Kitkat 4.4 which is expected in Aug last week or Sept first week 2014
7. How good or bad is the battery backup on zenfones?
Its quite good battery back of 15-17 hrs mix usage. I have used even upto 30 hrs backup. When you receive the phone new charge the battery to 100% before using for the first time then let it discharge to 2-5% & then charge again to 100%
New phones will have battery drain issues but with couple of charges and applying all system update, battery backup will improve dramatically.With average usage battery should last 15 - 17 hours. Battery drain more during 3g usage , camera and heavily while gaming (heavy games) or with background services.
8. Does it have FM radio?
All phone have FM radio but it will not work without the headphones connected as it works as antenna for the radio. You can store upto 6 channels only as of now.
9. How good is sound quality?
Firstly apply all the updates as asus have changed few options to improve quality.
Loud speak sound is quite low even after updates but headphone quality is amazing which good bass using supplied headphones. If you have 3rd part expensive headphones you will be pleasantly surprised by it.
***NOTE*** After system update to 1.15.40.35_2 firmware, please open Audio wizard and enable Music Mode by clicking the power icon on the top right side of the words "Music Mode"
The system update automatically switches Audio wizard off while updating, so please enable it otherwise you will get extremely low volume.
10. How to take screenshots?
Go to settings > Asus customized settings > Key settings
Select Tap and hold to take screenshot.
Now tap and hold the third key (bottom right) on the navigation bar to get screenshots
ALTERNATIVELY
You can take screenshots by pressing Power button + Volume down button simultaneously.
11. I have problem with system update. When I click on update I dont see any new updates. What do I do?
Those who are facing problem while updating the system.
Go to Settings> Apps>All Apps> dmclient
clear cache> force stop>restart your mobile
Then try system update from settings > about>check update
If the above procedure doesn't work, do a factory reset and try system update, if that also fails then you will need manual updating. See point 3a above.
12. Where can I find kernel source code for asus zenfone?
Here are asus zenfone5 & zenfone6 kernel source code on its support site

Rooting guide ONLY for zenfone 5/6
No confirmation if this root works on z4 & z4.5
This rooting is only for jellybeans 4.3 DOES not work on KITKAT 4.4.2
Rooting may void your warranty & can soft brick your phone
DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK only.
*****ROOTING method to follow*****
Download rootzenfone.apk from here
http://www.asus-zenfone.com/2014/09/rootzenfone-144r-apk.html
Install the root app on your phone then follow step 1-6.
Goto Settings > Security >Check the Unknown Sources (Allow installation of apps from unknown sources) box else this apk will not install since its from other source than playstore.
1. turn off data and wifi / airplane mode before rooting (IMPORTANT)
2. press the root button at bottom, after 5 sec when demo mode notification pop up turn off the phone.
3. Start the phone now & let it boot normally it will show you are rooted.
4. enable wifi & Install root check app from play store > open rootchecker app & confirm the rooting. (see screenshot below)
5. Once rooting is confirmed> open the SuperUser app > settings> enable the pro version in settings. (see screenshot below)
6. After you have enabled pro option> in setting enable the > survival mode, now OTA updates can be applied (see screenshot below)
hopefully without problem.
7. Unrooting is simple open the SuperSU app (NOT the rootZenfone app), SuperSU app will show full unroot option> press the button> phone should reboot now & delete the SuperUser app. Open rootchecker app which you downloaded in step 4 & confirm the root permission is Denied (you will see message in RED)
ONCE YOU ARE ROOTED remember not to apply OTA updates from asus without checking the "root survival mode" in your rooting app (it preserves your root during update) This check should be done every time you update.

How to click panorama with asus zenfone
Watch the video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4mc_1tLDd4&list=PLBTfQLF7fs0AwAz7Hq0uCsWOFHftp5ilr&index=12
Like other mobiles you cant shoot partial panorama which is quite an over-site by asus you have to shoot 360°

Although phone is great and all we wont get Android L for it

Different version of the OS don't necessarily make the phone best, the first stock OS gives maximum time to any company to work on. Knowing Asus support system in development you never know we may get L too but they have as of now promised Kitkat which probably will bring usb OTG support to it.

4.3 does support otg.
Sent from my ASUS_T00I using Tapatalk

NO not as of now,
hardware supports otg but there is no kernel level support as yet for z5 & z6
so you cant connect a pendirive & browse data on these.
Asus is indeed working on it.

I am connecting my pendrive and able to browse data.

It happened with me too yesterday, I was thinking of doing factory reset but dint do it,voice search was not working, I was able to hear incoming calls but other side was hearing loud disturbance which indicated me that some recording app is interfering, I uninstalled all such mike apps then restarted the phone without SIM, later inserted the SIM & since then all is working fine.
Try this if it helps, I still dont know which app/s caused this problem.
If this fails then only do factory reset, but since you will loose all data you have to take all data backup contacts/sms/photos.

Oh are you saying that 1st video you shot didn't had sound recorded at all
or does that mean that when you play that video its not playing sound? Try playing that video in computer or another mobile.
If factory reset has not solved the problem It seems you have a actual hardware problem with speaker in that case best solution is to get replaced under warranty.

Axon 7 and Android Wear - Consistently Drops Connection and Forces Repairing

Hey all. So far I mostly love this phone, however I am noticing a few quirks. The main one is with Android Wear. I am connecting to a Huawei Watch. Works fine for a bit and then a pop up on the phone says it needs to be repaired and asks keep to confirm the 6 digit passcode on the watch and the phone. It happens at least twice a day. Very confusing why as I have a strong connection to Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. What I am confused about is why it acts like it is no longer paired. It even removes it from my trusted list of Bluetooth devices. Anyone else having this problem?
Another issue is with when I used SMS backup app to move my messages and call logs over. It keeps popping up with an alert saying I have 4000 unread messages even though I have none.
Any help here is appreciated guys!
I decided to just do a complete factory reset. Nobody else seems to be having the issues I'm having and I think it's because I restored from another device, etc. I am going to set it up completely from scratch and see how it goes. I'll install each app one by one, etc. I'll report back if improvements on the Android Wear/Messaging front. Also, the ambient light sensor decided to go all wonky and would be SUPER dark - I had to literally hold the phone to a light bulb to have it change. Def wasn't doing that for the first few days I had it. Seems to all be software related.

Please tell me if that fixes it, because I want to get this phone and if it doesn't work correctly I'll keep looking.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also, on my old phone, what I had to do was restart the phone and the watch at the same time.
So far so good! I did the Google restore, not the SMS Backup and Restore thing nor did I do the NFC backup from my Galaxy S7 edge like I did originally. The ambient light sensor is working perfectly now, all my apps are reinstalling, and it paired with Android Wear immediately, no drama. So far, things are looking good .
Same issue with Asus Zenwatch 3
I have the same issue with my Asus Zenwatch 3 and my european model of Axon 7. Will try the factory reset and get back. I also did the restore connecting with NFC from my previous Nexus 5.
I'm having 5 days now the new Zenwatch 3 and works flawlessly with Axon 7(A2017G version)
Notification works great.
No any kind disconnection.
Call quality through smartwatch in high level with loud and clear voice without interruption.
Music control through Zenwatch 3 to my Bluetooth hands free also works great.
Android Wear/Zenwatch Manager app installed at my Axon 7 working flawlessly with Zenwatch 3
Solid battery both at phone and smartwatch.
Until now everything rock solid.

Good to hear. I've been following threads here as I evaluate whether to get an Axon 7 or not.
I got a Zenwatch 3 recently. I'm using a NOte 4. I'm having problems with the phone being VERY laggy, even locking up for periods of time, when hooked to the watch. Battery runs down a lot faster too.
Maybe the Note 4 just isn't enough for Androidwear...
I ran my note 4 edge and 360 sport for quite a while with no issues what so ever. I've been running my 360 off this Axon 7 for a few days now also without issue. Everything has been updated to the latest of what's available, not sure what could be happening on your end. There is a permission authorization required to keep Android Wear connected.
Sent from my ZTE A2017U using XDA-Developers mobile app
Just wanted to add that Yes the restore is the issue. I would always restore my bluetooth connections from previous phone and always had issue like this until I would wipe date on bluetooth and do each device new then they would stick. SO i just always do bluetooth connections fresh now
Don't know if it helps at all, but I just got an Axon 7 and was having this exact same problem. Found this thread and did a factory reset and restore through Google instead of the restore through Helium which is what I did when I first got the phone. It would not stay paired with my LG Watch Urbane even after the reset. After a bit of monkeying, I realized the ZTE has some battery/power management app that by default won't let Android Wear stay active. You have to go in and tell it to ignore it. I assumed that when the Wear app was asking me as I first set it up to exclude it from battery optimization, it was taking care of it all. Once I realized (which I probably shoulda thought about first) and excluded Wear from the power saver, I have had no problems at all and it works better than my Nexus 6P at keeping connection with my watch.

ZeBlaze Thor :D

Hello everyone...
I have preordered my first SmartWatch ever...
I have decided to go with ZeBlaze Thor...

It looks amazing and what i saw from videos on YouTube, it also works great...
I had to make a decision between Thor and Lemfo Les1...
And Thor looks better to me...
All the same specs except : It says that Thor have Gorila Glass 3 protection, and new samsung sensor for heart rate.
Other specs are :
Processor - MediaTek 6580 1.3GHz / same as Les1
Screen size - 1.4" SuperAmoled / only Amoled in Les1 description
RAM/ROM - 1GB/16GB / sam as Les1
Battery - Some sources say its 450mAh / 350mAh in Les1
It uses nano SIM / supports GSM (850/900/1800/1900MHz) and WCDMA (850/2100MHz)
It also have GPS, BlueTooth 4.0, it weights only 63g...
Price was really nice (99€)
I will make video unboxing and review when it arrives...
Do you guys know some ZeBlaze forum where can i find updates and misc stuff for ZeBlaze SmartWatches?
Cheers!
I ordered mine (mine also first Smart Watch) from GearBest using Expidated Shipping on 30th April 2017. Not yet shipped.
May I know where you ordered from and to which Country.
I was searching for the same information. Maybe it is standalone and syncs with Google Fit.
i have mine now. Nice watch. fast. battery could be better, but if you configure wisely your watch, it lasts!
Did you order from GearBest?
I am from Croatia...
Ordered mine from Banggood...
I got my tracking number... It says that mine Thor was shipped 2 days ago... ( i ordered 4 days ago )
So where can we find some official firmware for our Thor??

However there are steps to root a Zeblaze Blitz. Hopefully there will be root as soon as devs get hold of this powerful watch.

Hello,
I am planning to buy this watch, but have a couple of questions, maybe someone figured it out already.
Can you answer to messages/emails sent to your smartphone, when paired via bluetooth, and no SIM is inserted in the watch itself?
Is it possible to connect it to any other fitness app?

Not sure about bluetooth pairing and things you can do when paired...
One thing i don't like is the fact that you can not use Thor for receiving calls - redirecting them from your smartphone via bluetooth...
:/
Anyone knows can we use only 2g network on Thor when sim card is inserted...
If battery won't last too much when 3g is on... i would try using 2g network only for calls...
Ordered my first smartwatch too from Gearbest :victory:
Ordered mine today from Gearbest. An upgrade from my Fifine W9 which I've been using for about 18th months.
Got the watch last week and it looks great and works well. Two issues: 1) it's extremely difficult to open the SIM slot, even with the provided tooling (couldn't so far). 2) It seems pre-prod, the software upgrade tool is a "test" version and some functionality previously available in Blitz are not yet there. How to upgrade?
ATM mine Thore is at the Customs Office... :/
It should arrive to my place this week...
So, guys... Those who got their Thor... Battery time? Without 3g... Most important part
I got mine yesterday. I'll give a quick review:
pros:
-looks good, not huge
-full android play store
-not android wear
-many clock faces
-most apps I wanted were available (play music and stitcher)
-heart rate monitor works
cons:
-battery, 75% after an hour of heavy use (music via bluetooth from wifi and installing apps)
-the companian app is sketchy, requires many excessive permissions (somewhat justified if sending calls, notifications, texts 2-way via phone), is NOT available on the play store, and crashes my nexus 6 requiring a hard reboot when i try to connect
-round screen prevents access to the hamburger menu on many apps
-swipe right is hardwired to android back button, preventing the swiping in of the menu on most apps
-google fit hangs and won't run
-strava won't pick up the heart rate monitor
-can't add multiple google accounts (i email/hangouts/text/google voice from a work g-account, but have all android apps on a personal account)
-doesn't like T-Mobile if SF bay area, sees and connects to the network, doesn't get data down
I got this as an alternative to a Garmin Vivoactive HR. I'm a cyclist that uses a bluetooth power meter. I was looking for a smarter activity tracker that could play music and podcasts. Something that would pair to my powermeter for analyzing racing performance and track training sessions. It does meet my minimum needs. I was a little too hyped on it before I got it, and I do have to say my first impressions are that its a bit of a let down TBH.
it does track heart rate via one app. it does not transmit this information as a Bluetooth heart rate monitor. on most of the clock faces, it reports the last heart rate. unfortunately, it shows this a 0 padded number and the kerning is messed up since rarely do you exceed 200 and there's only room for a narrow character like "1". heart rate is also not offered as a background service for long-term tracking.
the app is super sketchy and attempting to connect crashes my phone worse than any app I have seen. the only way I have gotten out it to just hold my power button for 20 seconds.
try to do an OTA update and it just hangs with the word "test". that's confidence inspiring.
google fit hangs on startup
strava seems to work fine with initial testing, doesn't seem to register the heartrate monitor
I've had several android tv boxes from china and some cheap tablets, so I knew what to expect interface wise, but this guy is barely usable.
The hardware seems capabale. I'm hoping a firmare update or a custom rom will surface for this because its got potential.
Needs:
-data on the go, connecting, seeing 3-4 bars but not getting data is frustrating
-gesture to access hamburger menus
-heartrate background service that's easily toggleable
-heartrate broadcast via bluetooth
-multiple google accounts
I have it on my wrist right now and with everything off it's lasting enough. However the ROM is... too awful. I mean, it's fast and everything but I feel like it could be more optimized and less filled with crappy bloatware.
Is there any scene around the MTK6580M for these things? I would install any rom but the stock rom...

Root the thing and get rit of the bloatware.
How to root it?
Any tips and tricks, and how to manual?
Tnx
I used Kingroot V5.0.5 .After two trys my zeblaze thor was rooted.
I use appfreeze to disable some apps.
I think Kingoroot would work too. I read about some perfomance issues if you root with Kingroot, draining the battery because it's filled with adware (not tested by my side).
Either way it would be nice to have some development on this model like it was done on the Blitz. I think there are a lot of brands with the same hardware around (like the LEMFO LES1 and I think the KW88 having the same MTK6580) which could benefit too

T-Mobile has Finally released the Android 11 Updgrade for OnePlus 8 5G

The wait is OVER! T-Mobile OnePlus 8 5G Android 11 update has been released (well to select few with issues for sure). This is not official but I can confirm that I do infact have it. No root. Yes I am unlocked and came from Sprint but that played no part in the Update I received.

Go ahead and check now. I was a former Sprint - Tmobile Failed TNX Transfer. After months of being told complete nonsense, they proactively called me, troubleshot and without notice I checked again and there it was. This could be a TS Procedure, however, see attached Screenshots and I believe everyone will see it Feb 2-4th. My experience as one of the initial transfers has been anything but smooth. However, I commend their Customer Service and their Tech SUpport for owning the issue and this may have saved me as a customer. Mind you I will absolutely not buy from them again, however, I will sell this oneplus 8 5g that is unlocked for the 8t/8Pro or 9 Pro unlocked and stick with them for the outstanding customer service!
AOD doesn't have the all day function like global does, modem cant switch from 5g to 4g without a reboot or airplane mode toggle, wifi calling works when if "feels" like it.
@esjames so just to confirm are you saying that you're having issues with the automatic transition from 5G to 4G or vice versa? Cuz that would be a very big problem for me especially since I am 99% of my time on my home Wi-Fi and have been missing calls ever since doing the upgrade. Can you confirm that if I do do a global conversion will that result in error and if so do you happen to have a guide on how to convert from Android 11?
Thank you in advance.
It doesn't appear to have AOD? that's the one feature I wanted. Ugh
I went and got the iphone 12 pro yesterday, and yes "all day" aod isnt there and 4g-5g switching works only sometimes. Got tired of it dropping signal. Global firmware doesnt have stand alone 5g but at least it didnt drop signal.
Missing features aside (it seems several releases back from what I'm seeing in OnePlus' forums, where several devices are on 11.0.3.3 and 11.0.5 is in beta testing) how is it overall? Stability, battery life, Android Auto, etc?
Most says beta 5 is more stable than the stable release. The global release is pretty good. Battery life kinda sucks though
Are you guys having issues with YouTube and twitch mini screen hiding on the bottom of the screen and not appearing on recent apps?
I just updated. I hope I don't regret this

I like with the exemption of YouTube and maps mini floating screen disappearing
I'm not too thrilled with the update. Very laggy and buggy, wiped cashed data and it seems to have helped.... Slightly. Missing some text after a little while I'll get 3-4 all at the same time. I'm going to unlock and throw rhe international version on it very soon.
My first test of Android Auto in the truck was not great. At first everything seemed fine, but it got extremely slow after checking out 3 or 4 apps. I'll clear cache on related apps and see if that helps. The phone itself has been fine so far.
So first real test of Google navigation on AA today, and it wasn't good. When I searched for a place and selected directions, it showed three options, but the routes were not highlighted on the selection screen or while navigating, no matter how many times I closed the app and re-did the search. Finally I gave up and used Waze, which worked fine. I tried Google Maps again partway through, and that time it showed the route, but I cancelled it. When I got where I was going and unplugged the phone, it was very warm and there was a temperature warning - actually it said device temperature was back to the safe range. It's never done that before. Also the phone still had a persistent navigation notification shown that didn't want to go away. I am really disappointed right now. Normally I would also stream music while navigating, but didn't this time, and it still made the phone really warm on top of the other issues.
I don't care for the update either. Has crazy lag with screen transitions. Android Auto works fine for me. Freezes up when phone screen is left on. Turn off phone screen and android auto is responsive again. Did notice the missing navigation route issue once or twice. Forgot how I solved it but it's working now.
Otherwise just got the update yesterday. I will also say I think the maps issue is the actual maps app. Mine did it on android 10 not 11.
Also keyboard has round corners now?
Ever since I've updated there has been a problem with texting and I'm hoping someone might have an answer.
After I updated I noticed I could receive group text but my one on one text don't arrive (and I have timed it 15 20 minutes later.
I tried different texting apps (I use Textra) but nothing changed.
I did a factory reset and nothing changed
I called T Mobile and replaced sim card and after talking to technicians - nothing changed
I've changed settings and texting apps again - nothing changed.
Can anyone help?
I cannot get one on one text or app verification codes quick enough to install certain apps but I can still receive group maeesages quickly.
Am I the only one have trouble connecting in FlashMode? No matter what I've tried, debugging on, debugging off, the "Adb devices" command doesn't see a da** thing. I could've sworn I had connect to this phone with the android 10 version.
BTW, I had to laugh, 'cause it took me a minute to find the Flashmode option in the new Power menu. They sort of hid it.
Just wondering because I've been trying all afternoon. Probably just something stupid I'm doing but I gotta get this going so I can debloat thing. This rom is so loaded with bloatware, it's crazy. After I got finished paring down all the Sprint apps that were on my LG V50 it weighed about 5lb less and this one's is way worse.

nope. just february patch with bug fixes.
Still no AOD, pathetic. Who do we complain to - Tmobile or OnePlus?
Things have been better since I cleared the cache from the recovery menu. I don't remember the phone charging at only 1A in the car before. Seems to be the same whether I use Android Auto through the radio's USB port or my car charger. I guess the OnePlus 8 doesn't support Quickcharge?

OnuPlus 7T pro 5g Mclaren T-Mobile issues need to be solved

Using an oneplus 7t pro 5g Mclaren since February this year..i am not a power user..when OS11 update came i was so excited to upgrade and after upgrading my peaceful life with the device has become a nightmare..i am trying to point out the problems i have been facing..
1.the google app simply doesn't wanna work 99% of the time..(since OS10) i have use chrome for normal google search..
2.'ok google' or 'hey google' never did respond to me doesnt matter how many times i retrain my voice.
3.smart lock features doesnt work.
4.the battery capacity has been shown 3300 mAh on many device checking apps including benchmarking ones where it's supposed to show 4085 mAh as written on the box..besides that my phone battery backup forced me to put my belief on the 3300 mAh capacity..since OS11 update it has become worse just.
5.Oneplus cameras dont have that great reputation but i was happy with the shutter performance and the pics..OS11 destroyed that feeling with laggy camera app and bad performances..protrait mood fights hard to locate the face/object and 70% time gets defeated..theres obviously focus issues as well..but the 1 sec lag after pressing shutter is just unbearable..last 2/3 months i have been avoiding taking pics on my phone
6.Ghost Lock has made my device so pathetic that the phone itself wanna die i think..it doesnt matter gaming or making a simple call ghost locks have been happening all the time..phone hangs 10% of the time after it happens...minimum 5 times a day.
7.some third party apps arent working properly also which are very useful one's..like vanced/quick video recorder etc..
8.in developer options the Bluetooth LDAC options have been disabled.i bought an oneplus bullets Z along with the phone but later was surprised to see that it only supports AAC and another common codec no aptX or anything.i dont understand when i connect this headphone with a Xiaomi MI 9T all the codecs are available to choose on that device but not on my phone! The codecs arent available on the phone itself or the Bluetooth device i am confused.
9.i dont know what to say about the battery backup.never felt an urge to buy a power bank but now i do.i am not also a heavy gamer dont play PUBG or Asphalt. Games like Rise of empire or clash royale drains the battery such fast that my 3 years old Nokia 6.1 sometimes laughs at it.
10.heating issue isnt absent either..i only use the cover given with the phone when not at home..phone gets heated up with simple gaming sometimes unbearably during charging..i have been noticing also the charging time isnt like it used to be..20/30 minutes more ots taking for a full charge.
11.bluetooth device gets disconnected on calls specially when talking over social apps.and on some social media apps it doesnt wanna even get connected
Again i am not a super user of android..never tried rooting any device..this one is my first OnePlus device. what are my options to get rid of these problems? Specially to solve the problem with the camera i am seriously thinking of downgrading it to OS10 stable but i dont know that will fix camera lag at least or not..any suggestions to get rid of all/most of the problems written above will be heavenly..thanks for having patience to read all through
My current build number..

Wow, you must have spent (wasted) a long, long time typing that...
As for 4) that's a bug in most apps. The battery capacity is 4085maH
As for everything else, have you tried a factory reset and not restoring data/backup of app data from Google?
I don't have a single one of those issues on OOS 11.
If factory reset doesn't work, you can revert back to OOS10 using the MSM tool, or sell the phone. Do you think a) OnePlus reads these forums or b) actually cares at all?
Thanks for ur reply..actually it took a little time to write but u must have noticed i managed to make it funny for myself
No i didnt try that..u r suggesting me to factory reset and then not restoring the backup data and start fresh?

Yes, exactly. Just try it and see if it works. Don't have much to lose by trying. Considering I don't have a single issue with OOS11 (and specifically none of the ones you mentioned), I think you have some apps or more specifically app data that didn't take the upgrade to OOS11 well and are causing havoc on your device. Just factory reset, don't let Google restore apps (sms, call log, pictures are fine to restore), and see if you still have issues.

I bought the McLaren when it first came out. I loved the device and it worked flawlessly. I saw no need to sweat rooting the device and wasn't an option back then anyway. Even now it doesn't seem as clean as the earlier android phones I've rooted and owned but the world changes.
Unfortunately, I cracked my screen and was sent a refurb. I started dealing with sound corruption issues shortly afterwards. I never gave up on the phone and I knew there was some kind of conflict with newer Google updates my device pretty early on. I did MANY factory resets(erase all) and cleared cache both individually and as well as through recovery and it would only temporarily fix my issue. Then it would come back on it's own without any changes made by me.
At first, I had a lot of success uninstalling updates for the main Google app, clearing cache and data (sometimes resetting system app preferences and then rebooting into recovery where I would clear cache again and reboot. That worked for a while but as Google and other Google services received updates it became more difficult to fix using this method. By the time 11 dropped and the issue got worse, I was convinced I must have gotten either A) a bad egg or B) it was my fault and I turned the phone off in the middle of an install causing some kind of corruption that persisted through the updates somehow. The truth though may be somewhere between a phone that someone returned for a good reason and the increasingly more insidious nature of Google Apps. I was eventually defeated, made too many changes that the phone didn't agree with, got the Qualcom Error and was faced with either getting a new phone or seeking aid through a Community I've always respected.
Since then I've tried clean installs of the more recent RoMs but the issue was persistant. If it wasn't for the fact that the phone's speaker and mic would work again after a clean install (offline no SiM) but then get corrupted again within 5 minutes, I think I would have assumed a hardware issue only (still might be a bad egg on some level).
I decided to go back further, this time installing 10.0.36, which I guessed might be far enough back to a time before any issues and is a bit lighter (around 10 preinstalled apps lighter not including system). To my dismay (again, still offline) the mic and speaker corruption/conflict was still present. I began making one change at a time (mostly targeting anything mic or Google related) and it became clearer over the last few days that it was definitely Google and Google's zombie-like behavior to change settings back on it's own. I think that company went way past the point of overreach and intrusion a long time ago.
What happens is that ALL of the Google apps have (modify system settings) checked by default and I believe all it takes is one of them to have that access to let it's Google buddies come back to the party.
I would love to know where the conflict actually lies on a deeper level but that's probably a bit out my bubble of current knowledge and I just really need to have a working phone more than answers atm.
Now I'm praying that dropping in my Sim and signing in to the real owner (I seriously overpaid for a phone that's mostly not mine) of my phone doesn't somehow give Google access to some backup plan to allow itself free reign all up in my settings again. If it does, someone in charge of the google might be getting a 5G McLaren shoved into places that see less sun...in my imagination of course.

The problem isn't Google, it's OnePlus not following Google's mandated instructions on how to properly initialize and configure a new device that will be running A10, because they (OnePlus) rushed it to market. They didn't set up the partition tables properly to work with the new dynamic partitioning in A10 for a start.
A10 and A11 are part of Project Mainline which allows Google to update important parts of the phone transparently without having to wait for an OTA from the manufacturer and/or carrier. But because OnePlus didn't properly set up the device for A10, the transparent updates don't go over very well...and there is no way to fully undo them even with the MSM tool.
The blame solely lies with OnePlus as no other devices launched with A10 have this issue. OnePlus didn't follow the "basic" instructions available for the entire planet to see on Google's Android dev website. Google's only mistake was certifying this piece of crap.

DEV. Alot of people complain that they don't hear me at all when loudspeaker and in normal voice call without loudspeaker they say they barely hear me
Hope to see «Raise to wake» feature in future releases.
After 1 day of use can say that it works great. My battery lasts much longer than official firmware. Downloaded latest BSG's GCam & use it as default.
Thanks for great ROM!

fastboot: error: Failed to boot into userspace fastboot; one or more components might be unbootable. (((
Blazing fast ROM! Outstanding battery life compared to stock Nothing OS 1.5 - I'm talking 18-19 hrs after a full charge. I don't use my phone much on a workday, other than responding to Whatsapp messages 15-20 minutes, 5-10 minutes of camera and GPhotos use, maybe 5 minutes of Instagram and an hour or so of calling. Rest of the time I have my bluetooth earbuds playing Spotify via phone. I noticed a few issues as follows:
1. "Camera" (built-in, G-Cam or any other cam from the play store refuses to record videos. The app simply crashes.
2. The "Screen" glitches out with patterns (mostly with AOD turned on). One time the pattens appeared refused to go away, so I had to force reboot using the key combination. And sometimes the screen shows white noise on the bottom part of the screen when turning on/off using power button or when switching apps or pulling down the notification shade.
3. "Mic" most definitely shows issues when speaking on the phone. The person on the other side has trouble hearing on regular 4g/5g as well as Whatsapp call. I have to get a bit shouty to get my voice across. I do not face this problem when taking through wireless earbuds.
4. "Speaker" is loud and shows no issues till I tap the speaker icon on the call screen. At this point I'm able to hear the other person, but they can't hear me. So putting the phone on my ear or using an external listening device is the only way to make a call work.
5. "Glyph" this is not a biggie as I have it off all the time, but it seems to blink when there's no message as well.
I hope points 3. and 4. get resolved in the next update as it difficult to put the phone on the ear every time a call comes. I like to use the speaker in my office while working.
Kudos to @hiper25 for building a solid ROM!
Thank you for great ROM!
Hope to see «Raise to Wake» in the next build.
