I can't seem to access Joying's homepage carjoying dot com
Did Joying go under?
Also,
Anyone get the Android 7.1.1 firmware working on the RK3188?

Maybe, but it is still chinese new year. Maybe nobody notices or cares that the website is down. If they are still in business, wait till Monday.
I want to update to the latest firmware (February?) Does anyone know if there are alternative download locations?

Which is actually quite stupid as they now also miss 2 weeks of (internet) sale.
Especially as they have an American and German branch.
I know the american(!) system manager of the system, but I can only reach him via the carjoying forum, which is not up.
Might wanna put a question mark after the topic. The way it's written now looks pretty scary, until reading through the posts.

I’m sure they think the same about the western Christmas break. CNY has the same importance to them

No, it has not to do with the holidays itself. I fully understand the importance of it.
You can order on their website and it will just take 2 weeks longer before you get your package. That is how it happened in the past years.
In this case you can't order, which means they literally loose 2 weeks of internet sales.
And as I mentioned: the webmaster is american AND they have an american branch and a german branch.
Are they really so stupid that nobody even looks at their own website?
And why does the american hosting company not have any monitoring software?
It is extremely amateuristic.
Given the quantity of daily spam on their forum (when it was online), maybe somebody hacked them, and nobody but us noticed !!
Here is the thing, they have (had?) THREE domains (that I'm aware of). The carjoying.com *domain* still works, but the server behind it is dead. The joying.ca domain is shot, the carjoying.de domain is shot, the two with shot domains have different registrars. That makes it THREE separate failures that happened at the same time. That is incredibly suspicious.
And given the quality of their product (or should I say LACK of quality), and complete and utter incompetence in dealing with customers and issues, it sure wouldn't surprise me if they were out of business.
And finally, even if they are really strict about observing their holidays, that doesn't mean that *everybody* gets to go screw off. There always are people who have the responsibility of keeping things afloat until everybody else gets back.
I sent a mail to their 3 support email addresses. All auto-respond with the exact same message from Candy that they will be back after 23rd February.
ending with "And inconvenience hope you well-understanding"
Yeah, right.
The irony is that corporate-related websites like Joying's blog and forum sites traditionally provide support for customers and prospective buyers during times when the offices themselves are closed.
By letting carjoying.com remain dead during their holiday, they are truly showing how little they care about their customers and prospective sales.
Or...maybe they really did go belly up. I guess we'll find out after the 23rd.

The "western" Christmas break in the US, China's largest western market, typically lasts two days in the corporate world. Only one, for many companies. Then, another one or two days for New Year. Except in rare instances, the days between need to be taken as vacation days by those employees who choose to take off.

It is clear from their AliExpress website that only any orders purchased from their China based warehouse will be delayed. Everywhere else is operating as normal.

Except for the fact that they specify their GERMAN warehouse, and their GERMAN website has a dead DNS.
Further, that's just an ad on aliexpress. Doesn't actually mean much.

Didn't receive one here, but if I had, I would have no problem telling them what I really think about their locked bootloader policy, design flaws, etc.
100 bucks for an hour survey... I'd be all over that! ;p
unfortunatly, alot of people must of wanted to tell them what they thought of the Atrix, as I did the quick questions, and they stated that they already reached their quota for the survey..
out of $100, awwww man!!.. haha..

Samsung did the same when I bought my Galaxy S, they even called me up for some more details about my answers.

Dear Moto,
this is how you should be running your cellphone bizness:
unlock the damn bootloader
let them have the kernel source
the devs are willing to fix the mess you created with the blur crap
if you need to save money somewhere then fire the whole team that does blur, AND the guy that decided to lock up the bootloader / kernel
go ahead and make like 1 phone that runs win phone 7 so microsoft doesnt come after you a55
I guarentee you this will work, and don't forget to give me a job after.
k thx bye

did you buy the laptop dock(shows picture of the laptop dock)...
what day can we call you(give you a choice of 28th & 29th of March, I chose both)..

Yeah right, I'm sure they just want feedback from people who are actually getting the "full" experience this phone can offer via the laptop dock. But for the people who just wanted a really good phone they don't care to hear about it. Makes me wonder, is there anyone with the "tethering" package getting capped as well? I don't remember anyone specifically pointing that out....
I also got this email, but got it on March 18th. Signed up right away but havent heard anything bacck yet.
Hey guys,
For those of us that went to Google I/O, have you heard anything about the chromebooks we're supposed to be getting? We're two days away at this point so I find it kind of strange that there hasn't been any word from Google.
I guess this probably means they won't be mailing them to us. Otherwise, they would have contacted us to ask where we wanted it shipped to. Probably some sort of voucher we can print off? We'll see on Wednesday, I guess.
Anyway, post here if you hear anything!
Thanks,
Sam

thanks, but that's not what I was asking about. I know what chromebooks are. All google i/o attendees are getting free chromebooks(just like how we got free galaxy tabs). I'm wondering if anyone has heard about those. Google hasn't mentioned anything since the event.
I've been wondering the same thing myself. Whenever I receive a new email I get excited for a second, and then realize it's not from Google
Same here.
I hope tomorrow we´ll have the answer :$
Update address
Couple of days ago I emailed them and they said I need to update my address in the google io page if it is changed, this means they may mail it, but they did not give any more information about the date and the method we get our chromebooks.

Ug, I hope they don't just send it to that address. My work address is in there and then it will be a whole accounting fiasco when it gets delivered. lol
Besides, if I remember right, they said we'd get a chance to pick which model. Might be imagining that part though.
Didn't they say June 15th during the I/O 2011 keynote? So I think we might get an email for a coupon to redeem one or something beginning tomorrow.
Sundar Pichai said, "We want to make sure every I/O attendee gets a free chromebook. These are available on June 15th. We will send you an email with details so you can claim your chromebook very, very soon."
Sounds to me like we'll be picking them up. If they just showed up at our doors, we wouldn't exactly be claiming them..
I also went to IO and am also wondering about the Chromebook. Haven't heard anything since the keynote.
I originally thought they may just give us vouchers, but there are a couple reasons I think they won't do it this way. As far as I know, Google has never given vouchers and instead has always mailed the product directly. Also, if they gave vouchers, they'd have to inform the retailers about them which seems like way too much trouble for around 5000 people across the world.
"Claim" doesn't necessarily mean we'd pick them up. You could claim something online as well. I think Google will email us about a page to go verify our address and choose our Chromebook, but I guess we'll have to wait and see.
Isn't really something that fits my needs either, as I don't think many developers will be able to do much work in just a browser, but it would be pretty nice for basic browsing and YouTube type stuff.
yeah, I don't know what I'll use it for.. I fully intend to attempt to get command line tools like vim, gcc, javac, etc. working on it but I don't know if that will work out.. chrome OS comes with support for python and, I believe, qemacs so that's a start. I still won't be able to write android apps but I should be able to do a fair bit of my school projects.
either way though, I'm still excited. new toys are always fun!
Come on Google!
It´s already 15th!!
still nothing?
Google just sent out a tweet on their IO account saying "#io2011 attendees - we’ll be emailing you next week with details on how to claim your Samsung #Chromebook. Stay tuned!". twitter com/GoogleIO

also, it looks like it would be the wifi version since the 3G version is available in Amazon today (not the wifi).
Got the email tonight and just placed my order. Samsung white 3g and it looked like amazon is out of stock.
After a big commotion, they seemed to have unveiled their surprise they were going to share next week.
Can't share URLs yet so please delete underscore after https.

EDIT (Important): Could someone who requested an unlock please look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/to-unlock-bootloader-hold-help-t3437617/page1 . This would help develop for this phone much faster. Please do the steps mentioned before updating.
Seems pretty guaranteed actually all the CSRs were apparently misinformed and the one of the head forum CSRs is furious about this and seems like pretty much guaranteed unlock in a reply to the post above.
Yeah ! It was me who posted on zte forums .. Just wanted to nudge them a little so they can at least come clean
Thank god you did I almost cancelled my order. I posted my frustration in that thread too.

Can't wait for Monday now lol, hope there is still enough buzz with the device here on XDA for ROMs and not too many people jumped ship.
Sweet...
Definitely hope we get some good roms with the bootloaders unlocked.
Had my Axon 7 for a couple weeks now, live in Oz and chinese version works fine here, and it's a pretty sweet deal. Got an Antutu benchmark of almost 142000 edging out the 1+3 by a few hundred points....
My only gripe is the virtual assistant software is only available in Chinese...
If the bootloader is unlocked I should be able to change to WW firmware fixing this....

Yeah, i added a little gasoline on there as well :angel:
Awesome! With the confusion over whether Passport 2.0 applies to Newegg purchases or if it is final/replacement-only, I was starting to worry that I may be need to cancel my preorder just to be safe. But if the bootloader is going to be unlocked, frankly that seals the deal for me. As far as I can tell, the only issue left is low-light camera performance, but honestly, with all the positives for this phone it isn't a huge tradeoff.
I just hope the late notice hasn't turned off developers of custom roms and root/recovery builders.
Yea bootloader unlock deal was making me doubt this phone, I really hope devs are still attarcted to this too. A lot of the reviews on the ZTE forums say that manual mode is much better in low light so it is most likely a software bug.

Also on the newegg product page under Warranty & Returns it states you can return for refund before 30 days but a restocking fee may be applied so you are probably fine if you want to try out the device but you might want to check with newegg just in case.

Google translate, does a less than stellar job on it.
What's interesting about the ZTE Chinese forums is that you can download the full ROM updates, which you can also do from ztedevices.com, but you can't do any of it for US based devices.
That's the link, I think. My mate translates for me. I don't speak Chinese and their slang and technical terms aren't fit for Google translation
Hopefully it arrives by the 15th, so I'll know if I should cancel my pre-order Grey model.

I believe that this is the topic.
But nothing too constructive as far as google translate can take me... As far as i could understand, it's just someone that tought the OEM Unlock menu appeared with the last update (B07) but it was already there and does nothing (a lot of interpretation in my traduction of the garbage google gave me^^).
this is just a little info i want to pass along that i learned from tmobile today. it's not meant to be an iphone vs. samsung thread.
i talked to a couple different reps today and they all told me the same thing. if you have a note 7 you can exchange it for an iphone 7 next friday. you cant do the pre-order because they would need to get the note 7 from you first before doing the iphone exchange. so you just take your note 7 into a tmobile store next friday and they will reimburse you for everything you paid for with the note 7 and you will even get your jump back. at that time you use the reimbursement to pay for the iphone 7 and use the jump that you just got back.
just wanted to pass along some info in case anyone else was wondering.
I'm pretty sure most people know this but thanks anyway. You can exchange it for any phone you want, no reason they would exclude the new iPhone. This is exactly what I plan on doing, I will be at the store at 10am on release day! Figured this is the best time for me to try out a iPhone, the timing is just to coincidental lol.
And, why downgrade to IPhone 7! Smh

Let's use a little common sense when posting about an Iphone in a android based community. Honestly not many people in here would even care about that and to top it off why go to a phone that does less than what you have now. I know I know it blows up but you do know your chances of getting hit by a car are greater than your phone blowing up right now. I bet you still go outside and drive a car or get on a plane, etc..... You people kill me.
Thanks for the info but I dont see how this is the place for it. also, this was not a bashing post....
Thinking about going back to iPhone as well. I shouldn't have to compromise settings just for this phone to work.
As an Android/Samsung Fanboy it's a damb shame to have to go through all this.
The 6s Plus NEVER gave me any problems. Even with 2gb of RAM, it NEVER lagged. Hell, the battery was hard to kill with heavy usage (4hrs of youtube background play, fb, text, browsing XDA, etc).
I'm trying to give Sammy a chance but damn.. hopefully the results of these replacements can change my mind.

I think better comparison would be driving and texting or being distracted by phone in general: the same people panicking about faulty batteries think nothing of using the phone while driving and I'm guilty as well, just glanced at the map to check traffic ahead, same time as the guy in front stand on breaks, I barely stopped without hitting him and I drive a lot with years of experience. Probably more than 500 people die each yr. because of phone distractions. My phone charging station is on marble table in kitchen for years (convenience of multiple outlets at above waste level), accidently right next to smoke detector. Most likely it would be non event for me even if it burned to crisp. I put my life in much bigger danger when I'm cooking, but that's another story. As a side note advice, for those interested to buy iphone7, get iphone 6 instead put the tape on headphone jack and viola, you got iphone 7, you can thank me later.
Yeah but then they will lose out on the new shiny black one
Just placed an order for the jet black and was told it would be shipping in NOV lol, so i don't know what ever comes first new Note 7, V20 or iphone
Considering that the Note 7 is the most expensive phone T Mobile sells, it seems obvious that you would be able to exchange it for ANY other phone they sell.

Doesn't matter. At least 99% of iPhone users put cases on them. I'm not even sure why apple offers different colors...

Fair enough. It is at least 200% shinier than any previous iPhone, well, except for one.
Thanks for the info, I've been trying to the same, got no help at the store, went through 4 phone reps who refused to do it, and finally one gave in and pre ordered them for us. Wish they would've told us that we can just go get them at the store on Friday. They're saying that the phone is already sold out and that be shipments would come out in October or November

yea your best bet is to go into the store and get one. my local tmobile is opening at 8am and handing out tickets in case there is a line. they dont know how many they will have in stock.
i enjoy the people the bringing nothing to topic but come in to post to complain about others talking about the iphone. you act like someone talked bad about your mom. in the OP i stated this isnt an iphone vs android topic. yet some peoples blind loyalism cant understand that there are people that like both. "you people kill me".
playya said:
Let's use a little common sense when posting about an Iphone in a android based community. Honestly not many people in here would even care about that and to top it off why go to a phone that does less than what you have now. I know I know it blows up but you do know your chances of getting hit by a car are greater than your phone blowing up right now. I bet you still go outside and drive a car or get on a plane, etc..... You people kill me.
Thanks for the info but I dont see how this is the place for it. also, this was not a bashing post....

there probably isnt many people that would care but there are some and this info was for them. there are already some in this very thread that said thanks for the info. i could care less about the chances. it's a recall, as simple as that. and this is definitely the place for the info. this is a tmobile note 7 thread. i'm talking about the tmobile note 7 in an exchange. doesnt get any more relevant than that.

Note 7 to iPhone 7 in a Android based forum OK real relevant in a forum with 100 of thousands of users your 2 people that think it's useful makes your thread useful. Again not bashing just don't see the point of your thread but hey this ain't the first useless thread in here and sure it won't be the last carry on my bad.
Take care!

here's a question for you. if it's not useful to you then why did you comment in the first place? doesnt matter if it was 2 people or 100, it was still useful. did my original post some how say something bad about you? did it affect your life in some negative way? i just dont see the reason for your post. you brought nothing to this thread except to complain about me making a post and then say your not bashing. might as well said i'm bashing but not bashing. who cares if it's about the iphone. it's just a phone man. it's not that serious in the grand scheme of life.

yes i made a post because i was passing on some harmless information that might be useful to anyone interested. lol. like i said it's not that serious. i'm not upset, but this community has been getting worse and worse with members attacking or down talking each other over petty stuff. it didnt used to be like that.
Hmm, Here we go again, Chinese model has the update, US model had it, and the EU..........ahh yes the EU, who are they again?
Much title. Such constructive. Many rant. So use.

Chill out mate, its OK to say the EU is always last on the list. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's not true.
ZTE UK in particular Is appealing, they don't give a crap, from the sales, to support, and I'm entitled to my opinion as are you.
I'm not directing this at you personally, so you don't have to react as if I was.

Mike, you're exactly right re zte UK. A total none event. Such a shame great phone. Appalling marketing and after sales support. I have up in the end and imported from china. Just got 7.1.1 seems fine so far

Well I managed to get mine of Amazon UK in the end, I called ZTE, tweeted them for literally months, and had like an auto response, the sort you would expect to hear on an answer phone "The Axon 7 isn't available in the UK yet, we will keep you updated on a release date".
Yeah right....
Although I love the phone I'll not buy ZTE again, its a shame they are this bad when it comes to EU marketing and sales.
I'll update to 7.1.1 when its got a stable release, probably on the German ZTE site, as I doubt the OTA update will work......its not so far.
Mike
Yep I know the feeling. Next time for axon 8, go Chinese. Got the 128gb for 320 squid

What about the warranty ? A2017G users have a 3-year-warranty even if water gets inside, and 6 month of warranty on the screen.
Mmmm, I've never got a response on that from ZTE. I was assuming I still get the passport warranty. As usual though when you ask zte a question they go to ground. Answer is as of right now I'm not sure

Hmm, that's a good question, I have got the warranty, but was under impression it was useless in the UK and I wasn't covered.
I'll have to study it and see what it says.

Idk why you think that in UK it is useless. I have the G model also bought on December. 3 days ago I received random mail from ZTE (probably they have my e-mail from Google account associated with phone.
I don't think I received an email, the reason I assumed it wasn't any good was because I purchased off Amazon in the end.
Even though the phone was a legit UK model with UK power supply, the supplier was a third party through Amazon, however I still have the warranty, so perhaps its all good.
Mike
did someone download the leaked 7.1.1 for A2017G before the Moderator deleted the download link? If so, can someone provide another download with a proper hoster?
