Axon 7 great for 10 months, I until... - ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers

Love my Axon 7 and had enjoyed stock since I picked it up in July 2017.
About three weeks ago I started getting microphone problems. Callers couldn't hear me. Busted microphone I figured.
About two weeks ago I started getting random reboots. They increased in frequency to the point where it suddenly reboots every few minutes. Now completely unusable.
The reboots makes me think it's an OS probkrn, maybe a faulty update. Wipes don't help.
It's under warrant so my replacement is on the way.
Anyone encounter anything similar? I was very happy with the Axon 7 until the bottom fell out a couple of weeks ago.

I didn't think they were still sending out replacements

[Q] Acer shuts down randomly

G'day
I am really getting fed up with the randon shutdowns after charging, my tab has never had a uptime of more then 2 days before shutting down. Anyone know what to do about this (besides going for an ipad2 ) ?

I've had this problem since day one (3 weeks ago) I thought I'd fixed it by switching off the GPS but nows its back. I even have trouble booting it as I have to hold the power button on for a few seconds more than once. Do you think we'll be getting a software fix or should I return it?
Mine has same issue, but seems more often since last update!!

not sure if I can help in the shutdown problem.
But regarding the booting/power on thing.... that's how we ALL turns our on....it required a 3-4 seconds holding in the power button
I believe the tablet has an auto shutoff that kicks in after 4-5 hours

Not true. I've never experienced this on my A500. The last time it was powered off was when I installed the update, and prior to that it was powered off by me a day or two after it was purchased. I've never come back to the device and had it completely off for no apparent reason.
I use a password login, I keep USB debugging turned on and my wifi is set on when the screen is on, off when not. I charge it every day during the day, and use it at least 2 hours total per day. I have a 32 GB MicroSD card installed.
It sits by my bed with the screen off, and not plugged in at least 9 to 10 hours every night, and it's the first thing I grab when I wake up to check my email accounts and news.
So, trust me, I'd notice if it turned itself off randomly...
I wonder if it's either a software conflict with some people's tablets or if there's a run of bad tablets out there?

I could give you a nightmare story of my Asus EEE netbook...
About 2 weeks before the warranty expired the left mouse button stopped working. I sent a support request through their site and it took them several days to respond. They responded with some initial troubleshooting issues. I sent back that it was definitely hardware and the button didn't even feel right. They took another few days to respond and told me to call the 800 #.
The 800# people had me email them a copy of my sales receipt, which I did. They waited until a day after my warranty expired and told me my warranty was expired and they wouldn't do anything for me.
I tried appealing and everyone ignored me. I'll never buy another Asus product. Previously I purchased around 30 of their motherboards a year for work, not anymore.
That's why I bought the Acer - didn't even have to think twice about it.
I also encounter the shut-down issue. It seems to occur after long periods of charging (say charging overnight). I've had a similar issue with certain ROMs on my Captivate - when the phone would hit 100% while charging it would shut down.
It's a bit annoying, but hasn't been a big issue. If my tablet has been sitting on a charger for 4+ hours it's usually because I don't have an immediate need for it.
Mine also turns off overnight after the update. Hope with next update it works properly and with 3.1.

i never had any problems before but the last 4 days it shut off twice and I notice that it did only after I had it chargin. Is it a really big problem guys? Not for me it takes what 20-25 secs to boot up? I can deal with it till 3.1 rolls out so as long as it doesn't shut off daily while I'm using it idc.

Any news on this problem? I'm almost at the point of returning mine but I think I'll try the factory reset first
just throwing in a me too... just bought my iconia yesterday after returning a galaxy tab 10 (which is THE sexiest tablet ever, but I really needed SD and USB w/o an adapter)... the weird part is everyone else here ties it to charging but mine just did it ten minutes ago and its been off the charger for 12 hours. I also have trouble with the web browser crashing and text selection sometimes is just broken... 3.1 can't come fast enough, and having owned a galaxy tab 10 for a day I can attest that 3.1 is quite a bit better.
i've had mine for nearly a month now, and it's only just started shutting down automatically last night. Happened a few times consecutively last night, and it's happened again about 10minutes ago when i just went to use it it was off, and i distinctly remember it still being on after i took it off charge this morning and put it in my bag.
Starting to become a little annoying especially if it continues to get worse.
Browsers shutting down for some sites. Java problem ?
+ 1
Its meanwhile a month ago since the last posting. Is a solution found ?
I use Dolphin 6.0.0 on Android 3.01 1.141.01 and for month's it worked perfect.
Today, it starts shutting down for some sites and indeed switching off java solves the problem. Same for stock browser. Its annoying that this happens without a clear trigger because it indicates an unstable system !
edit: sorry, wrong thread
just picked mine up yesterday and encountered this last night. Which is especially annoying since it was halfway through downloading the 350MB update when I went to bed.

So update to 3.1 - the official version has been out for over a month now, it is a lot more stable then 3.01 in my experience when it comes to web browsing. Just copy the correct update.zip to microsd, reboot with top vol rocker/power held, you got 3.1 without waiting for Acer to push ota to you.

Nexus 10 Rebooting

I have noticed that my nexus 10, which i received today, reboots itself whenver i put it in sleep mode. Also, when charging it turns itself off. These problems never occur during use, just when it is in sleep mode. Anyone else have this problem? Any solutions?

I've seen this once. I'd just put the tab down, lock screen active but display still on and bam! I was pretty shocked.
I'd be much more pissed off if it happened during use though!
Mine has locked up about 5 times since yesterday.....

This was happening on mine as well. It stopped after I updated the device, so I think it might be a software issue.
There's a long thread on this in the Q&A section. A lot of people are noticing it. Hopefully Google fixes it in a software update soon.

Mine has stopped rebooting, but it still turns itself off after a few minutes of being asleep. Any solutions? Or should I consider a return?
4.2 definitely needs an update. Freezing everywhere, gesture typing is sluggish, reboots and lock-ups.....was not expecting this :/
Honestly, I've not experienced any of this. I'm only playing a few games and browsing mostly though so maybe I'm not doing something that triggers it. One of the N7's I bought did that, and I returned it. If you reflash the stock image and clear data and it still does this I would suggest getting a return. I've had no real software problems with mine.
Man, you all have me really worried. My wife bought me a n10, and it's sitting in the closet because it's a christmas present. If it's having software issues, that's one thing....hardware issues are a whole other animal..I need to make sure the hardware isn't bad before I miss out on the return period.

I had similar issues with the first one I received. CONSTANT reboots, occasional freezes and shutdowns. Returned it for a new one, which I received today, and for what it is worth, I haven't noticed the same problems at all yet with the new unit. So, at least in my case, it does appear to have been a hardware issue...

[Q] mic suddenly stopped working during calls. +random issues.

Hey, i got the s4 from my work place about 3 weeks ago.
At first i started having issues with random shut downs, after 2 weeks of frustration i went ahead and got a new replacement.
Things were looking good up until 4 days ago, people just stopped hearing me during calls and the dialer was acting funky. Tried to restart the phone and it fixed it. This only happened once so far, and since restart fixed it i guess its a software bug. But im kinda paranoid about this phone, should i just go and replace it again? Or is it a normal bug...
Thanks,

Need help with nexus 7 issues

I have a 2012 Nexus 7 32gb I got about 3 years ago. Everything about it in pristine condition. Never replaced a thing on it, even has the same screen protector I got when I bought the tablet. However, I am plagued with a few issues.
The first being performance is horrible compared to when I bought it. Constantly choppy animations, input delay. It takes almost a full 2 or 3 seconds for multitasking to come up, and even longer when launching apps sometimes (*cough* youtube).
The second issues I have is battery time. I can fully charge it and leave it at home all day, untouched, and it will die by the end of the day with literally no use.
The reason I say I have these issues is because there is literally not a single third party app installed. I've reflashed it multiple times to all sorts of android versions, custom roms, and I even have 5.0.2 on it right now. I cannot figure it out for the life of me. Please give me some ideas.
Some people are formating there partions different. Can't remember the letters. Sorry, 5.0.2 really helped the lag for me.

Is the Nexus 6p Guaranteed to bootloop?

My Nexus 5X has just decided to die.
It isnt bootlooping, it just will not come on. It wont even open the bootloader. So i cant flash it or anything; anywayy, i purchased a Nexus 6p today because i wanted something similar to what i had been using, blah blah. So, i got home with it, and im looking at reviews and just come across the fact that its only bloody got the same bootloop issue that *might* crop up. Ffs. haha.
So my question is; am i to understand that the 6P will infact bootloop? Its just a matter of time? Or is it that it might not? I was afraid of the bootloop of my 5X and it lasted just over a year before its untimely death.
Should i flash it premeturely so it prevents it? Idk. Please can someone enlighten me?
Thanks Guys

It is not guaranteed but it is probable that it will happen at some point. I have had a Nexus 6P and Nexus 5X both bootloop.
I would suggest selling the 6P while you can and purchase a used Pixel if you want the same experience. You can skip Pixel 2 to reduce cost.

The 5X was prone to circuit board failure. It would do various things from deactivate the fingerprint sensor to make the screen go off and give the appearance that it wasn't turning on but in fact it just wasn't displaying anything. Not I don't know what truly happened to you but the 5x was pretty unusable at this point and the manufacturers didn't seem to want to do anything about it.
The 6p which is what I am using right now is victim to a CPU Hardware defect which can throw it into a bootloop. Not everybody will have it. Some people will take a long time to have it. I used mine for a year-and-a-half and I am still using it now even after it went through the bootloop issue. My recommendation to you would be to unlock the bootloader and to make sure that you have USB debugging turned on so you can be prepared to flash a fix if you have to. I was able to flash the boot loop fix without losing any of my data and although the phone is a little bit slower than when it was out of the box it is still a perfectly good and usable phone for day-to-day tasks and to do things like watch movies take pictures Etc. I do not know if my phone will decline to an even worse state but for now 2 years after getting it it's still running fine

We have two of them, my wife and I, and have for quite some time. Both were bought used. I keep them updated. So far no boot loops or any other issues. Been over a year for both of them.
I bought 2 Nexus 5Xs to my parents and both died after about a year and a half. Sent them both to LG, they fixed them for free. I think they replaced the motherboards, but not sure.
I bought mine in Sept 2015 - the week the device was released.
During that time I was horrible with charging patterns - sometimes leaving it on the charger for days at a time.
I've had to replace my battery once due to early shutdown happening at 50-60%, however at no point did I ever see signs and symptoms of BLOD.
My mom also has a 6P, and she's much better at the charging issues, usually leaving it dead for days lol. She's beginning to show battery issues, with early shutdown happening around 10-15%, however she got hers in April of 2016.
Have a 128gb Nexus 6p and it's still going without any issues.
No such problems with either of the ones I have had. Battery degradation I have had but never bootloops.

My wife replaced hers with a Pixel because of premature shutdown last year. The other day I put in a new battery and now it's like a new phone. I put my Moto Z in the drawer and use the 6P as my daily driver. I think it's on its final update so might as well unlock the bootloader and try out some roms. It runs well on Los14.1 and AICP13. Currently trying out SuperXE 8.1 with ElementalX 8.1 kernel
