Anyone received over here the Android 7.0 update for the Chinese version of Axon 7? I have a Chinese version of Axon 7 and there's still no update. US version first?

Should be out soon I suppose, next month probably. Still I'm thinking to go with LOS as it's already on N and available for Chinese version as well, and I'm starting to dislike the stock ROM.
Waiting for nougat too

Is it possible to flash A2017U firmware on A2017? If yes, would it be fully functional?
I want android 7 but setting up again my device would hack me off. Does it update without wiring out your phones look?

yes you can update to nougat with this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/edl-emergency-dl-mode-twrp-unlock-t3553514/
But I can't get my signal to work properly. some users say they had fixed it by updating the modem but I can't have mine fixed even with Udev and saviour's modem.

I figured out that it was my sim card/provider is causing the trouble. when I tried with another sim provider, it works flawlessly.
I got tired of waiting for official N release so I've decided to flash LOS instead (never liked the stock MiFavor anyhow). I have to say it fixed some issues for me and for now I'm quite happy with it. Even my LTE issue is fixed (previously my device could not locate a 4G network - tried several operators). I'd recommend you guys giving it a try, at least for those who are not afraid of experimenting with the phone

How would you compare camera quality between stock rom and LOS?

I haven't tested it yet as I have flashed the LOS just several hours ago. Still trying to get a hang on some other things before I get to the camera.
I don't think it will be much worse (or much better for that matter). It is a phone camera and I've never expected much out of them and for the occasional use it should be enough, for taking good photos I'd pick a normal digital camera any day of the weak. And besides, if you don't like the LOS camera you can always install some other camera instead.
In any case, I'll take some photos with it tomorrow and post them here for your reference.
Thanks Jedi.Tester

hey gys, I have just checked my samsung apps application and there was a camera update firmware. has anyone else has this?
EDIT: I updated, but couldnt see anything different, may be it is only bug fixes.

Do you have the name of that firmware?

strange, I just installed it on my mate's phone as well, we both got it from phones4u in UK and both had KDD firmware, I upgraded to KE1 but the other phone on KDD still had the update.
I have no idea how to get the firmware number, It was installing it for 4 min exactly and I had to make a reboot. the camera app is still version 1.0
hope this helps
I also just updated my UK SGS2 to the KE1 firmware.
I also got the camera firmware update.
The Samsung Apps also required an update.
So this camera app update doesn't actually bring any new features or functionality? It's simply bug fixes (not that I found any camera bugs personally)
No firmware update for me - Orange UK.

The SGSI support was actually pretty good everywhere outside the US, where carriers, rather than Samsung were the main problem.
Just want to let you guys know that today, Sony has uploaded the official firmware for the USA version for the E6603 device. It's version 32.0.A.6.209 with a region tag of R4B. It's listed as Customized US (unbranded). This is the first time the firmware is released for a non dual Z5 device. The CDA is 1300-4290.
I'm guessing this firmware is still lollipop and not marshmallow, right?
Quick question, if I switch firmwares, would I lose my DRM keys? I have locked bootloader still and don't want to lose them. I do want to switch firmwares to US or Canada so I have a local baseband. The signal is not the best and I'm pretty sure switching firmwares will definitely help with that.
You only lose DRM keys when you unlock bootloader.

Offcourse there's noise when zooming, that's the way digital zoom works.
If you take two pictures in a tripod stand, one zoomed and one not zoomed you can cut the not zoomed image to the same size and have two exact same images. Digital zoom is worthless, it is the exact same thing as zooming in on a pic in the gallery.

lolol, does that mean the US devices only have it disabled in software? Seems likely, I didn't think they'd start a new production line just to remove the fingerprint reader.

You need someone who got the phone to try flashing the phone with other firmware,that way you know forsure if they removed the hardware.
I think when on 8th of February someane buys officiall US variant, and if Fingerprint doesnt work, someone will just try to flash other versions, for example CE1 or other, to see if it'll work. Might be.
I'm not seeing any traditional update software options in the about phone section. How will we receive Android OS updates on this tablet? Thanks.
Well it seems in the moment there just are no updates...
Normally you should get your update via ota (you should see an update option in your "main menu"), except for beta/leaked versions, if they should leak anyhow/anytime...
For now, there are no leaked or official updates for our mediapad m3 :-/

If you Google nougat for Huawei mediapad M3 there are several sites that claim they have the download you can Flash
The only thing in the about phone setting I can find about updates is updating the emui
As I know the update emui menu will also update your android (for example to android 7 + emui 5.0).
I know these sites, but as long as I do not see a link hier on xda, on the huawei news pages or on the huawei homepage itself I think these links are just nonsense.
(For example some of these pages just link every phone available and say "download XXXXX android 7 here"... I would not try to install these... But I also suppose you won't get a real package anyway there.)

Rally don't know if we ever see 7.0 for the M3.
The M2 never received 6.0, and what I heard is that Huawei just doesn't give a fu** about tablet software.
Huawei generally doesn't give a fu** about software updates. My Mediapad X2 GEM 701 never received an update. That's why I had to undergo a hugely complex updating procedure with chinese ROMs modified sh1t.
I just got the new update with October patch. They removed the navigation bar too.

Chinese version only perhaps?

Correct,also it said better chrome operation,so maybe people that had problems running chrome in small format ,now can. I always had mine set in medium text and didn't have a problem. There were other things it said ,basic improvements,etc... I can't really notice any change other than the ability to disable the new buttons. Which like I said ,disables the ability to start split screen. Unless someone can tell me how to do NB it with only the fingerprint scanner......I'm also running Nova free launcher.
Plainly,this tablet is sick as F. I'm coming from a wifi only Xperia z3tablet compact though...... the only reason I bought this just because the camera Hardware had a malfunction on the Sony.

Haha haha,
Yes in a very good way. It's heavier than the z3 compact,and no water resistance,but it's smooth ,fast,and the LTE connectivity is incredible. I always have 5 bars of 4g. Now ,I live in Thailand,and the internet is crap here compared to the USA,so in the states it's probably even better. It was half the cost of a normal flag ship phone too,and it's basically a huge phone. It comes with a screen protector and a case,however the case is Carmel color and hard to look at,but it's growing on me. This tablet charges very fast too.
If your on the fence,buy it for sure.

As far as I read not all CPUs are conform with Android 7.0. The M2 has one of them. The CPU of the M3 is conform so i hope we will see the update soon.
So Huawei devices have been having a lot of problems with Android Auto, the Mate 9 and Mate 9 Pro inclusive. They cannot connect and leave the screen in the car black after a connection attempt has been made.
Huawei is working on this and it should be fixed in OTAs, which some users of other devices reported to be the case for them.
Since I'm stuck on the European version C432, I haven't gotten any OTAs since B156. Is anybody on newer firmwares able to test if the problem has been solved for them?

Really? Damn.. there doesn't seem to be any consistency to this.. what model do you have?
Which version of Android Auto are you using?
No problems whatsoever for me either. Mine works perfectly.
However, when I had my Note 4 I had to jump through a lot of hoops to get it to work. It took weeks of investigation and trial and error. It's simply a very inconsistent app. And from my experience, type of car and google services version play as much of a role as your phone's firmware does. Visit any other phone sub forum if you need proof of that. It gives problems on all phones.
Actually, once AA refused to connect. Only way to fix it was to redownload and reinstall Android Auto. Make sure you're on the latest version too.
It didn't leave the screen black though, just refused to connect.
Latest is 2.2.710804, and you should probably get the arm64 version.
I had to get it from apkmirror as it's not released in Sweden yet.
I guess it's worth a shot to reinstall/update.

Hello,
I am new to android and recently ordered a Leeco pro3 for $120 (couldn't pass it up). I have read that it does not get ota updates in the US, so I have a few questions. Is there any detriment to using an outdated android version? Can I still run apps like facebook, twitter, and Snapchat? If i flash to lineage, will I still have all of the features (camera, Snapchat and facebook apps, etc)? I know the IR blaster won't work, but this isn't an issue. I just have read that certain apps won't work and want to avoid having a phone with no camera or no social media apps such as Snapchat. Thank you all ahead of time.

If all you need is just core functionality then I would there is nothing wrong with running the stock rom. Everything will work right out of the box and all of those apps you mentioned should run just fine. Not to mention you should get really good battery life. With that said if you like some of the features that come with Nougat based roms such as better Doze and Camera API 2 support so you can install apps like google camera and give you camera a nice performance boost then go for it. I have installed all of the aftermarket roms available in this thread and IMHO Paranoid turned out to be the best. I havent had a single issue with it and it has the latest drivers taken from Oneplus 3's source code.

Thank you for the quick response. Given the fact that you have gone through using custom roms, have you been able to use snapchat on Paranoid? I have read that custom roms cause the app not to work. Also, for someone who has never used an android device, how hard is it to flash a custom rom? I am very interested in having a better camera, as I will be coming from a Lumia 950 XL (it has been deteriorating and Microsoft seems to have given up on W10M.). I know that this isn't on that level, but anything I can do to get the gap smaller is good. I am also interested in other features, but have to ask - is your battery life significantly worse running a custom rom? That would be a turn off. Thank you again.

Nope my battery life is near identical to stock and everything works on Paranoid. My favorite thing about it too is that all viarations of Google camera also work which will give you great pictures and videos if you play around with them far better than stock imho. But play with it first you will find that you can do far more on Android than you can windows mobile. The ecosystem just doesn't compare. If you want to to install a rom then follow the guides but make sure you do your homework before just jumping in. It's not difficult but a screw up could brick your phone. But there are also many guides for unbricking as well
Lineage has new Android versions first, but doesn’t have good battery life on this device, use a different ROM. If you want Snapchat, you can use a ROM that passes Safetynet or maybe Magisk’s hide feature. Oreo ROMs don’t pass safetynet, but some other Nougat ROMs do.

Nope my battery life is near identical to stock and everything works on Paranoid.

This is great news that the camera actually improves. Do you have snapchat issues with this rom? I just want to ensure I am able to enjoy everything android has to offer (well, as much as possible on a year old phone for now), as I have missed quite a bit of apps on W10M.

This is very helpful, but I am confused how to tell. Do you know any roms that pass safetynet? Thank you both for your help.

Paranoid does, so does AICP I think, both for nougut, not Oreo ones yet as SELinux is not working on Oreo. There are others that probably do also, but I haven't tried them yet.

This is tremendous. I am already turning into an android fanboy and I haven't even got the phone. It is quite impressive that the opensource community can get the latest editions stable on these devices. I just saw no need to go buy a galaxy or near $1K smartphone when the SD820 is still a powerhouse in my eyes. Do I have to root to install Paranoid, or just unlock bootloader and flash? (I may be missing a step but am going solely off of how I understood the guides)

SD821, not 820, the model with the 820, the so called elite, has nearly no development.
You have to flash a file to unlock the American model’s bootloader. (The SD821 powered x727 I think it’s called...) the Chinese model x720 has an unlocked bootloader, but is missing US carrier frequencies so it’s worse for Americans.

That's not great. I think I have the elite coming because it says SD820. Am I essentially screwed on roms?

Not good.... I didn't know there was a difference.

It's a major difference in both hardware and support. I'd return it for a refund.

It looks like there are the same roms though. I even found paranoid. Is the 820 to 821 really that big of a difference? This thing was so cheap.

You are looking in the Pro3 elite forum?

Hmmm... it looks like there is development for it now, no Oreo, but there are some ROMs. I’d still return it though.

Can you post a link to where you bought it from so we can confirm the model and your options?

It stinks because I had an additional coupon bringing this to $120s. A dual sim (necessary for work) phone with a sd820 for that price seemed too good to be true and now it seems it is. However, if I can still get the play store ill be fine on any rom (would prefer a custom).

So ya you got the Elite. I do recall there being a couple of ROMs for that phone just poke around this forum and I believe you will find them.
you can find all the detailed specs here:

The only thing I would really be concerned about is band support and if you will get LTE or not. It looks like its a mixed bag here:

I checked the band support and that's good. Will this come with the play store though? And if not, is there a way to install it on the stock rom? I just want to make sure I have the basic apps (although I'd prefer a custom rom)
