This really is a $400 dollar phone it seems...

[delta7]

Not bashing the axon 7 has alot going for it but I'm noticing little issues here and there.

1. Bluetooth static, seems like the bluetooth is weak overall on the phone, some call signal issues, and the phone won't connect to my pc, My pc can't see it but sees the iphone even my cheap prepaid phones the computer sees.

Seems like ZTE really may have held back in a few areas to keep cost down, I'm debating returning the phone and eating the restocking fee, I want a htc 10 but it's too much money and too many fake s7's out there to buy off the street.

Phone seems to use a very cheap wifi card, I'm having wifi issues and the phone is barely 3 months old.

Have you tried the One Plus Three? Same price range fewer compromises!

You can get the HTC 10 for $500 now ... The unlocked USA version is already on nougat...

I've been thinking about returning my A7 also.
It's a mix of awesome to WTF.

When I pick it up in a well lit area I'm happy.
In the dark with those hard to find keys I get pissed.
Dunno what to do.

Looks like a return is in my future...just can't get past those damned dark keys

same here I like the size and won't do craigslist since getting scammed. I don't know what to get next. I don't wanna spend alot for a phone on Cricket lol.

I've always had good luck at the Androids Central Market Place and Swappa. I'm almost embarrassed to say how many phones I have owned in the last 10 years. Put it to you this way, currently I have an iPhone 7 Plus, Huawei Mate 9, Google Pixel, and Lumia 950!

HEY if you want to talk trade, I HAVE wanted to try the Axon 7. Can you verify it works with a Daydream? I might be willing to trade my Pixel, BUT we would have to do something about the difference in values.

Seems like you got a lemon. I first tried the A7 mini. Liked it so much I bought its big brother. I've had a verizon, and project fi (t mobile) sim in it and have had zero issues. I'm happier with it on project fi which is T-mobile since I'm in an area where verizon is weak. Have you tried a FDR? I know when I first got my galaxy s7 edge, it wouldn't hold a data connection. Had to replace the sim and perform a FDR. That fixed the issue. I also have a pixel. My favorite is the axon 7. If samsung put dolby and hifi into their phones, I'd like them a bit better. The pixel was a huge disappointment.

One more thing I'd like to say. Take a look on the pixel forums. Talk about issues. There all over the place.

I'm actually pretty happy with my Pixel! I just like to try everything.

I don't understand those posts... You knew before you bought this phone that the keys weren't lit. And now you're ******** they're not...
Come on!

Touche...
Should just return instead of bothering others with my observations.

The A7 is a good phone even tho the keys are unlit.

I find it very easy to use the keys, even unlit, since they are just left and just right of center. It pretty simple to eyeball center and press left or right side...

 

[canawler]

Sounds like they just need a dot of glow in the dark paint?

It's not hard to get used to. After only a few days it became a non-issue in the dark.

I love this phone, it became my main phone over my S7 Edge, but I'm sending it back. The only issue I have with it is I cannot send MMS messsages.

I talked to T-Mobile various times, I talked to ZTE and did 3 factory resets. MMS works for the first day then goes back to not sending them. Frustrating. I got it for $349 on Amazon, I'm sending it back and need not to pay a restocking fee.

Correct. That plus the fact that it's missing so much. Very bad purchase.

2 issues about the one plus 3 & 3t. Issue 1-screen is no comparison, and 2-music is very important to me and without hifi and dolby, well, you know what i mean. Other than that, its a superb device.

What the pixel does, it can do right if it were not for so many issues. Fact is, at the price we paid, it's a ripoff no matter how you look at it.

It got daydream support today. ZTE's Axon 7 flagship gets Nougat, Daydream support https://www.androidcentral.com/ztes-axon-7-flagship-gets-nougat-daydream-support
