Eyeprint ID is a biometric security that scans your eye to unlock the phone. Probably it is not functional enough but I am curious about it. Has anyone extracted the Eyeprint module from a ZTE Grand S6, blade S6 or Axon?
Thanks

Can anyone with their S7/Edge confirm whether or not the fingerprint scanner on the device works with apps that support the Marshmallow fingerprint API natively?
For example, LastPass login etc?
It's a feature I love on my Nexus 6P and don't want to lose when my phone arrives on Tuesday.
With fingerprint security rumoured to start featuring heavily in the Google ecosystem through the MM API, I think it'd be a shame if this wasn't present. Can someone put my mind at rest?

Can't say definitely for sure but, I do know that an app called 1password lets you use your fingerprint to unlock the app. And this is supposedly possible because of Android 6.0 marshmallow. And coming from IOS I definitely need this to happen sooner than later. One of the only features I'm missing. Well that and the ability to see my Bluetooth battery percentages.

It worked with my Capital One, which uses the native MM API. It also works with the app Finger Security. It's super fast.
I got my S7 Edge two days ago.
I can confirm the fingerprint scanner on the S7E works with Lastpass.

I noticed that there is now an option do you use your fingerprint in the Google Play Store too.
Ah superb, exactly what I was hoping for! Cheers guys over the moon with that.

I am no longer able to use fingerprint on PayPal. My note 5 was able to just fine. Anyone else?

I distinctly remember my S5 using a third party piece of software for this. Think it was called 'Fido' or something. Hopefully PayPal will implement MM API soon.
I own one of the ZTE Axon 7 pre-production/prototype phone. You can ask me anything, but I may choose not to answer your question if I think it is a sensitive question. I attached a few pictures below and the noticeable difference is this phone come with on-screen keys instead of capacitive keys.
To begin, I was one of the few ZTE Axon 7 Beta Tester back in April 2016 (I do not work for ZTE). I received this phone one-two months before they officially announce it in China on May 2016. I returned this phone to the company before I left the USA for my summer vacation in May. On October, this phone was given to me from one of the employees in ZTE upper-level management.
This phone is my daily driver and I love it! To clarify, the phone that I have is 2017U and have 4GB RAM and 64GB ROM.
How did you become a beta tester for ZTE?
Can you install an ordinary A7 firmware on this phone?
And which firmware version/build did you get initially?
Thanks.

The phone was running Android 6 when I first got it. It's just the same build as that you guys have. I was pretty worry when I was trying to upgrade to Android 7 during February since this phone is a little bit different because of the on screen key. However, I'm able to upgrade to the latest firmware like everyone has without issue. I do not root this phone due to the fact that Android has been getting to a point that I can do everything I want my installing app. When I started using Android 2.0, I had to root to get everything I want.
It started one day in BetaBound. I tested one of ZTE's low end devices. After that, I was contacted by them (targeted) to test a "premium device", which is A7. I don't do a lot testing. In 2016, I tested Axon 7 and Netgear Orbi (they contacted me like 9 months prior launch).
What about Axon 8? Have you tested this?

Nope. Don't have any clue about the next one yet.
I'm new to XDA, just trying to post a fact I've heard from my father, who was in charge of development of S2, Note tablet series and Note 4, 5, 7, FE and 8, etc.
As he gave me Fan Edtion to me, telling me this is so meaningful to his team. When I asked aboth LED cover, he said "Although this Fan Edition's internel parts are mostly newly build, instead of using 7 parts, It still can use Note 7 LED flipcover and battery pack - but intentionally blocked the usage of note 7 accessaries softwarely. Therefore it's function is intact, just disabled."
He later also gave me note7 LED cover and battery cover as somebody would already managed to restored it. But I'm suprised most of XDA users didn't even try so, thinking it's hardware problem.
So we can say note 7 battery pack is in fact working, but soon blocked by system when it finishes acknoledging where the wave is comming from - which means it can be unlocked, alongside with all note 7 accesaries.
Therefore I'm asking you guys, to find the blockcade and restore it's functions. If it's not hardware issue - why not? If you can edit kernel or porting(like arter97 or topjohnwu), even completely re-building custom android from AOPS, I'm sure someday, someone will make it working. Just like magisk eventually showed up and saved us from root detections.
P.S. I know you'll never find this post, but, thanks for all that hard works, dad. Congraturation for graduating from 25-year-long development post. You really did something to your Samsung electronics. I wish you could stop overworking just for few days and have time with us..

hi guys i think huwaei is busy in developing its new deices and as a market strategy ,its continue and focusing on new devices.As after 4 months thereis no update for our device and newly launch devices like 9 lite and 7 x which is cheaper in price and have almost same specs as we have.but for themhuwaei have update and our device doesnt getting a face unlock feature.i think its my big mistake to jump from mi to huawei.very slow or say no updates.shame on them.
i feel that we are cheated.
Never too late to sell your phone. I was blinded by the quad-camera hype as well and sold my Redmi Note 4... Now I'm sure as hell am going back to Xiaomi. Took them long to release the Note 5 Pro.
4 months????
Huawei gave Face unlock and AR Sticker just 2 months ago. There's beta testing going for Oreo in some regions. It has highest chances of getting Treble support, it bootloader can be unlocked, TWRP is available. Huawei will likely give it 2 major upgrades (O and P). Even after that you can flash GSI (with Treble support) of latest android (say Q). As Google is modularizing most stuff there will be a time when we can flash latest android version just like we flash latest Windows on old PCs.
If you feel cheated then think about us with a Samsung S8, Note 8 which is high end device and there's no treble support for us. We can't unlock BL (US models). We won't get exclusive S9 features through update (Huawei is giving face unlock through update, EMUI 8).
Still you think it's abandon..
Hello. I've previously owned the Axon 7 Mini, which unfortunately was run over by a car. It was a nice phone and I especially liked the design and audio capabilities. Nowadays all smartphones look rather dull to me.
What would be the best/cheapest place to buy a new Axon 7? I've found a Chinese site that supposedly sells these. They don't offer the original box, though. Here's a link to the product: (can't seem to post a link but it's on Aliexpress) - thoughts? It's just over 200 dollars there, but a whooping 600 dollars at Amazon.
Questions: With these special ROMs that are circulating, will things like online banking work? I've heard of phones with special ROMs that have problems with certain apps because of security issues...
My understanding is that people can effectively run Android 10 on Axon 7 - that would be neat. If everything works, that is...
Thanks in advance.
I can't even post an image? Seriously?
As much as I like my Axon 7, things have moved on and I wouldn't buy another.
If you want to do online banking etc, just get something good stock and don't fiddle. Keep it as secure as possible and leave it locked.
I'm contemplating replacing my A7 as I need better battery life. Facebook is using it up too fast now. I did replace the battery and it works fine but I'm wanting something with 4000MAh or better.
I have a work Galaxy S10e and that is quite a good phone but again, that smaller battery is limiting.
If the US wasn't waging war on Huawei I would probably get a Mate or P 30 or similar but now without GAPPS I just won't go there.
Semi seriously looking at alternatives but thinking of going anti China this time. Samsung, LG, ASUS, not sure yet. HTC are pretty much dead and don't seem interested anymore.
I currently have a Huawei P Smart. I live in Norway btw, so I don't know what this supposed 'war' with Huawei is about.
I especially like the Axon 7 because of the speakers and audio capabilities.
I really would just like a recommendation for where to buy a brand new Axon 7.
Slim pickings finding unsold new stock out there. You will have to search around and not be fussy on colour.

Both authentic global A2017...I use a Chinese variant in the UK and have never had issues. Ali price is very good at £185. Still a cracking phone for the money but just be aware that it is now vintage HW and for a bit more you could probably get something better[emoji106]
Whatever I get after the Axon 7 will have stereo speakers so that cuts down options quite drastically but I certainly wouldn't get another Axon just to keep the speakers. I would mainly want to do it for a big battery but would welcome a bit more processing power, RAM and storage with newer OS as I like to be more up to date on security using Google pay, phone banking etc.
To be honest, the work S10e would be fine if it were slightly wider and have a bigger battery, so maybe I need a S10+?
Oh well, my decision has come. I stumbled upon a great deal on Huawei Mate 20 Pro today. New, unopened in box from store. Lovely phone.
Been doing the updates up to Android 10.
Don't care about rooting etc so no bootloader unlock is of zero concern. My Axon 7 has never been unlocked.
Edit: My Axon 7 was in a drawer. I kept it because of the excellent audio performance and it still worked perfectly well but my eldest daughter needed a phone. Having replaced the battery in it not too long ago it should have a pretty decent life left in it so she has bought it from me.
Good luck with your A7 everyone.
How about the ZTE Axon 20 5g? Sure it won't be released here but you can buy it anyway. It looks sweet and it's the same price as the 10 when it came out. If someone can shoehorn Lineage on it I'm going to buy it.
