    Axon 7 nougat update is now live. Check for update

    Anyone know if the update improves signal strength? Oftentimes people on the other end of a phone call can't hear me as if my mic is muted when I can hear them just fine. If I could just get that issue put to bed, I'd use this phone for the next 5 or 6 years I love it so much otherwise.

    Capacitive Buttons

    Maybe there will be an easy toggle you can stick a shortcut on the home screen for the on screen buttons. Yeah, wishful thinking I know heheh. Buttons are slightly problematic for me while driving, but honestly 90% of my driving frustrations are due to poor app UI design.

    Capacitive Buttons

    I'm hoping muscle memory makes this a non-issue for me in time. But yeah, also, the buttons are very small. I have small hands so it doesn't bother me, but I imagine someone with bigger hands will have real problems with this.

    Which Keyboard are you using?

    Nothing wrong with TouchPal I just like Google's better. Easier for me to type on it with fewer mistakes. I haven't exactly analyzed why that is. I'm sure it's a completely subjective deal.

    Audio question

    Phonograph works fine with the Dolby app. I've heard Neutron is a great music player because 64bit processing or something, but honestly the UI is so ugly I couldn't get past that aspect to even bother testing the sound quality. I'm very picky with UIs for music and podcast players since...

    Screen protector?

    Thanks everyone. DeltaShield worked out great. Before installing I taped over my speaker grills just in case. I really suck at installing these but the Delta was very forgiving. Since you install it wet, it's easy to move around and reposition after you place it on the phone. I had...

    Clicking/popping sound coming from speakers

    I had this problem the first day I had my phone listening to music and video. It went away completely after a few hours and haven't had a problem since. Guess I got lucky.

    Which Keyboard are you using?

    Just switched to Google from TouchPal and wish I had done it sooner.

    Screen protector?

    How was the installation? Were you concerned about that liquid getting into your speaker grill and ruining the phone? I think I'm going to have to temporarily tape up the speakers before application. Thanks. The tape idea is a good one definitely.

    Alm9st there, another question please

    Signal seems comparable to other phones I've had on T-Mobile, which isn't great, but that's due to lack of a T-Mobile tower near my home moreso than the phone itself. When I'm downtown, the signal is great.

    Screen protector?

    Hey all, asking for some advice on how to protect my Axon 7's screen. I've generally forgone these clear screen protectors mainly because they are a PITA to apply, and I ALWAYS have air bubbles and lint that get caught under there. Also never felt the need to bother with them because I was...

    Phone case

    Yeah. And the complimentary case is pretty damn decent as well.

    Insurance/ warranty

    IMO very generous warranty plan. Carrier plans charge you a monthly premium + high deductible should you use the warranty. Squaretrade charges an up-front fee and deductible. With this, it's just a deductible, and $80 is a pretty low one at that for a smart phone.

    horrible signal strength

    I was worried about this while I waited for my unit to arrive, but I lucked out and got one which has good signal. I would just be ready to RMA or exchange it if you get a lemon.

    A few thoughts on the Axon 7

    Best phone I've ever owned! Granted the bar is low because my last phone was a Samsung Avant and before that first gen Moto X lol, but seriously, for $400 this one is a no-brainer. Kudos to ZTE, Huawei and OnePlus for disrupting this overpriced phone market!
