Hi all,
Can someone with this model of the axon 7 send a screenshot of the force touch feature because I wanted to know if it was similar to the app shortcuts found on nougat or oreo? Also, how is the always on display as this is a feature this phone lacked which the s7 and g5 had. Also, why didn't they have an OTA update for this feature for the 4gb model variant which most people have?

the last thing you said was unclear. an OTA update for this feature? What feature? There's no Axon 7 with AOD and there's no need for it to be there. This is a 250 dollar phone. If you want AOD just root the phone, get Oreo and install it via substratum.

The software is exactly the same as the other, same model axon 7 (6gb a2017u has the same software as 4gb a2017u, same with the 6gb a2017 and 4gb a2017) so for example you have the force touch app on the 4gb version even if it hasn't got it. So it'd be very weird if only the enhanced versions had always on display. But let's see if someone can report on that

Yes, it is there. I do say that because you can basically enter the system app section and find "force touch".
If you had a little bit of common sense you would know that "the app is there" is not the same as "there is full force touch functionality". But it sadly seems not to be the case, since you didn't seem to be able to distinguish between the two.

Since I usually hide system apps in that section, I hadn't seen it before but now I see there is a 12kb app named Force Touch.
And there is no need to edit my post. I just didn't know that and I asked how you say this and I got my answer but you seem to have a short temper.?

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.
How did you get this patch for your m3? Mine can not find any updates...
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 I just yesterday got my Axon 7, which I got shipped from China as it was cheaper. Little did I know that there were different versions of the phone and the one I received was the A2017, which I have been told is the Chinese model.
This is my first actual Android phone so I have fairly limited experience, apart from playing around with my mates Nexus 6P (which I found very easy and intuitive to use), so I have a few questions/issues.
My problem is that the software the Axon came with is fairly different to the "Paired down version of Android Marshmallow ... to be as close as stock android as possible." shown in most review vids, even ones with the 6GB Ram Chinese model - eg. youtube.com/watch?v=xNOql_uuOAM
Here are some screenshots of my phone - imgur.com/a/6pOlh
The main problems I have noticed are:
The lack of app tray.
No google service apps.
A bunch of random, for the most part Chinese (even when system language is English), apps that I can't uninstall or even remove off of the home screen.
Different, non stock android icons for all apps.
I mean it isn't the end of the world, but I would love to get the normal android experience on this phone is basically what I am saying.
Sorry if this is a dumb question/easy fix, as I said this is my first time owning any android phone.
Help would be greatly appreciated.
Use nova launcher. And mi assistant to uninstall/disable apps. You can install Google from zte market and if you want to have ota updates then there are threads which will tell you how

Just download Google Play Services and Google Play from APKMirror and install them manually, it worked for me.
Thanks for replying. Yeah, that's what I ended up doing eventually. Downloaded some additional apks such as Google framework, account manager and couple others.

Want to get official ota updates, if any in this stage of axons lifecycle. Would have flashed LineageOS but sound quality and loudspeaker bug holding me back. Until those get fixed, hopefully, sticking to stock Chinese rom for time being.
I got my Hands on some internal Documents of the Honor 8 Pro and found some interesting things. I read many reviews after the launch in Berlin.
A lot reviewers wrote that the 8 Pro got UFS memory because of the high benchmark scores. But it looks like that only the pre-release/demo devices got that memory type.
Mine 8 Pro has "only" the eMMC 5.1 and the internal confidential document said that's the official​ memory type.
I can confirm that my DUK-L09 has also no UFS memory. Bought mine from O2 Telefonica Store in Germany with a MyHandy contract.
I can confirm as well, i have a honor 8 pro and it has a "eMMC" memory type, many specialized tech website announced it as a "UFS" memory type...that's kind of suck
All the new phones were advertised originally as UFS then the news came out and websites were changed to remove references.
Now it seems the Galaxy S8 is the same.. I wonder how many others did so, given there's a reported shortage of UFS memory?
Hi Guys.
How did you check your memory type? Did you use benchmark? I'd like to test mine and check if it has the UFS 2.1
Thanks!
Just run AndroBench from the playstore. And if you got ~250mb/s and ~95mb/s you heave emmc
Mine has the EMMC type too...
try with app "P10 check", it gives you the Details what storage type you have
Huawei is at it again with their memory type lottery. @OldDroid what do you got? Have you received yours?

but still, i'd think that somehow in the assembly line, they'd have like one batch of emmc chips for one batch of phones. so, wondering if we can tell maybe the batches are more for black colour, or blue...
i dun think they'd have a batch where the chips are mixed (emmc and ufs). it would make recall/ tracing batch a nightmare if they really mixed things up during assembly.
would be nice if current owners can share more stats like:
* location/ country where unit is bought/ originated from (in case you bought it from overseas reseller)
* colour (blue, black, white)
* storage size (64GB vs 128GB)
* storage type (ufs vs emmc)
hopefully we can have some idea where the UFS is likely to be in...

I haven't tried it myself but I always thought notifications weren't working for me if things like battery saver or miui optimization were enabled in developer options. for example I can receive textra sms notifications fine and a few other apps but not from Line messenger. I never tried disabling it to see if it fixed I'm just guessing but I did google about it before. some will say turning off miui optimization fixes certain things. that could make sense if u stop letting it mess with background data to conserve power. others will also say it's a problem with miui 9 itself that xiaomi needs to fix
latest firmware update has resolved my issues but i had to use outlook app for email as the stock email app notifications did not work
Hey Axon users and devs!
I recently received a ZTE Axon 7s(A2018) from my uncle that works for ZTE. It's a different device than what I thought, I like it! I've been looking near and far for development for this device. It's turns out to be none since the security features of this device is crazy. What I'm trying to get at is...
Would anybody be willing to develop a rom and custom recovery for this device if I supplied the files and charitability?
Have a crack at it and if you need any assistance I am there. I am crazy busy at the moment and don't have time to do so.
Thank you
Kountry
hi,
there is no development for this phone.
it was released in june 2017 only in china, there are no international/us variants available. the phone doesn't have all related LTE bands.
no one need it, no one buy it.

It works perfectly on T-Mobile and At&T LTE. I'm using it right now on band 12 on T-Mobile. I also get band 2 and 4 in some areas too. So yes it has potential and it's faster than my ZTE Axon 7 Enhanced Edition. I get 176,462 on Antutu benchmark.

what is the advantage of the antutu points? nothing
however, there is no development and there will be no development
Basically, it's a Chinese only model and very rare outside China. There's no demand for it and no non Chinese ROM. I don't think there would even be sources to make it from.
Pity, because it's a better device.
