Expected date for releasing 7.0 on axon 7? - ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers

The 7.0 nougat just released recently, I'm jist curious that how long will the axon 7 get the 7.0 since it support daydream and i really want to try it.
For those who use zte's phone before, can you tell how fast would they release a new update?

Most seem to be saying October-November but honestly it seems as soon as they can get everything working since they seem to be wanting to be first to the market with Daydream to help promote the device and their company more in the premium market.

The only people who can give any real answer to that sort of question are the manufacturers themselves and they aren't going to tell you. Also, given that Daydream support isn't in the initial Nougat release but will come later in an update which is entirely in Google's hands as to when they release it. Google need to decide on a date for when it's ready and then tell ZTE who have to get it out the door at some point after Google announce its availability. A more pertinent question at this point is will ZTE wait for the Daydream enabling patch before releasing a Nougat ROM for the A7 or will they release one before that.

Tsk tsk, no asking for etas on XDA... Just kidding!
Always thank those who are helpful...and just ignore those who aren't.

Thread closed - this type of impossible-to-answer question just winds folk up.

Any news about when will axon 7 get android N update?

I'm developing game for google daydream(their new vr platform) and zte axon 7 seems to be the cheapest android phone that is daydream ready. The problem is that in order to work daydream needs android N. Do you know what are their plans for releasing update on their phones/how fast they did it before?
At a rough guess I'd say that it will be some time after Google eventually release it. I also vaguely remember something somewhere about Daydream not being part of the initial release of Nougat but coming shortly after although a quick search has thrown up nothing.
I'm betting first quarter of 2017. I'd be shocked if it was before the new year.
Everything I've read is pointing to this year for the update they are selling it as "the first daydream phone" and I've read multiple places that they want to get it updated asap.

Every manufacturer says they want to update ASAP but all of them take longer than they claim.
Imagine if they "rushed" it out full of bugs and things breaking. As much as we depend on these things for life itself, I am happy if they take their time, do it right the first time, then release it! I work in IT and I know from first hand experience over 22 years that you're much better off doing it right the first time then to have to go back and hopefully fix the errors!
Apparently ZTE is part of the group of oems that have early access to the source of this new Android release. As they actively market this phone as "daydream" ready I'd assume they want it to work.
heck until today we had no idea when android would be released (supposedly mid to late August).
I think it will be before November when Daydream will come.
It's really close to daydream release date, are there any news about the android 7.0/7.1 update now?

Update Signs?

First off let me say I Do Not intend for this to be another whine thread....
Just wanted to reach out and see if anyone has had any signs of an update. I recall from one of the previous now closed threads started one user mentioned the 5th as being a possible date. Though seemingly arbitrary date the 5th is here.
People chime in if you get the notification!
Nothing for me yet.
It probably won't come out until the new Google phones do. I know it's difficult for flashaholics, but be patient.
Now I'm waiting for the September security update for Marshmallow, maybe it will be late too. They seem to be in a huge work.
This thread is the best sign.

That's what intended mine to be, but it went south so fast! Lol no sign for me yet, I'm hoping maybe by tonight. It's REALLY behind said release date. Staying optimistic!
This is the only sign from Google I have seen.
Absolutely notting here. Not even the sept security update.
There will be a September in 2017,too
If I'm remembering the same post, a user speculated that the update would be tied to the September monthly security update. That seemed like pure speculation. I hope the updates are posted soon but I don't think today will be the day, since it is already the afternoon and a business holiday. Hope I'm wrong!
Hope it's soon.

Maybe tomorrow then, I forgot it was a holiday. What gets me is how they got everyone all riled up that it was gonna be in August, and it's gonna be out at the same time haha
Yeah Im ready for the official build too, this NPD90G preview wants me to want more, or at least some minor fixes.
No updates.............there will be speculations.
No speculations.....probably updates.
From what I've heard Qualcomm needs to do some driver upgrades for full Android N Support. If that is the case, it would explain why Google hasn't released the update yet, they simply can't until Qualcomm delivers. I can imagine Qualcomm has their hands full at the moment with all the smartphone companies out their requesting driver updates to support Android N as well.
I don't have any references for this, as I read it in a post somewhere but don't remember where. Don't take my word for it. But of course it would be interesting if someone could confirm or deny this.
I don't expect the update any time soon, but at least the latest beta runs very smoothly on my device. Can't complain at the moment.
Thats what has confused me DP5 runs well so id have thought it was near release quality but I guess not with the update taking so long. As far as qualcomm surely google should be the highest priority for drivers/updates given that they build the entire base that all other android phones base off? So an N driver for a specific SoC should work for all devices using that SoC?
I'm pretty satisfied with the Uber N ROM as is.
What @onemandivision said is correct, driver updates are critical. It's not just the kernel and the android base.
I'm a little confused by the delay though since it is already clear that phones on chips older than snapdragon 800/801 won't get nougat (ie 65-70% of all android phones according to some surveys), so there should be very few drivers to update/fine tune? Am I wrong?

Stock Nougat on Axon 7?

Hi! I have absolutely NO technical knowledge, and am really, really lost. I'm currently deciding between the Axon 7 and the 6P for my next phone. I love the Axon, but my one requirement for my next phone is stock Nougat with Google Assistant. I read that it is possible on the Nexus 6P to unlock GA, but is it possible on the Axon to get stock N in the first place? From there, could I unlock GA? If nothing is available on the Axon, I'm buying in two weeks, so I can't wait long for it to come out. I couldn't seem to find anywhere that can help me, so I turned to XDA. Thank you in advance!
TLDR: Can the Axon 7 get stock Nougat with Google Assistant as of this moment? I'm okay with rooting or whatever is necessary.
I left the axon 7 to come back to the Nexus 6p ... The best choice and I have already install many mods and apk from pixel like Google assistant

No, Axon 7 will not get GA. Goggle already state that it's only for the Pixel for the time being.
In addition, I don't think we will be seeing Android N on this phone in the near future.

There's a bunch of Pixel fanboys hurt that the ZTE Axon 7 has better hardware than the XL, at half the cost.
When people ask how Google can justify the $870 for a Pixel XL when that buys two AXON 7 phones, they get mad. Over in their forum, they're spreading FUD that the Axon 7 won't get Nougat to make themselves feel better.
He probably got it from them.

READ what I wrote. I said it will not get Google Assistant because Google decided that that's Pixel phone exclusive for now. I also said it will not get Android N any time soon.
We probably see it toward the end of November if we are lucky. ZTE has to fix the HUGE PILE of bugs on the current roms before they even try to go with Android N. That's how software life cycle works.

FFS, LEARN TO READ before you decided to be a douchbag.
I said A7 will not be getting Android N anytime in the near future. OP is asking if A7 will get Android N before 6p and we know that's not likely at all.
I had the A7 since launch. I am the guy that posted links on where to buy them on XDA when they launch.

I was asking if it were possible to install stock N by rooting(?) or some other method on the A7, as of this moment. If not, I'm buying the 6P, because it will receive stock N.
Hopefully we will get 7.1 instead of 7.0 :/

Obviously. The 5X/6P got stock N before Google offered up the final N code to other manufacturers.

Also, ZTE Axon 7 is the first smartphone to be released that's Daydream VR compatible. Daydream VR REQUIRES Nougat.
So, of course Nougat is coming for this phone.

The ZTE Axon 7 is the first smartphone announced to be Google Daydream-compatible along with its very-own VR headset, the ZTE VR. It just needs Android Nougat and Google's necessary VR maintenance software update to pull it off, which will come in the Android Nougat 7.1 update.

https://community.zteusa.com/thread/1544
We are currently integrating the Daydream package into Axon 7 now. It requires an Android N upgrade and we need final certification from Google. So please note that Axon 7 is not Daydream-ready the day that Daydream launches from Google. We have said all along that we are working with Google on Daydream, which is true, and that we anticipate that it will receive the certification. We only recently received the final Daydream package so it will take some time to finish the integration on Axon 7 and then get certification. We will make a future announcement when it is Daydream ready.

Learn to read? You're the one who can't read. Plus you are giving out incorrect information. You also might want to chill with the name-calling.
You misquoted the op. He did NOT NOT NOT ask if Axon 7 was getting Nougat before the 6p.
He did imply in the "near future", but actually said he wanted to buy either phone in two weeks. He didn't say it needed Nougat before then, but wanted assurance it would get Nougat as that would shape his decision.
But more importantly... The answer is YES, the ZTE Axon 7 WILL get Nougat 7.1 in the near future. Because ZTE marketed the Daydream VR capability and that requires 7.1 Nougat.
However, there are no promises of "stock" Nougat 7.1 nor any promises of Google Assistant. That will require the magic of XDA devs. But it will have Nougat 7.1 in the near future from ZTE.
Here's the op for you to read again, since you didn't read it well the first time?

Better be 7.1 since it's gone late significantly time ZTE to deliver to us.
ZTE has plenty of time to prepare 7.1 and bring it to us(it's already ready by Google)
They would not having any excuse not giving us 7.1 from the beginning.
As I know 7.1 will support VR capability and not 7.0 and other bug fix and optimized tweaks of the OS.

No, it doesn't work that way. We can't even get stock M at this point because ZTE isn't being very developer friendly at this time.

You are the one saying I am a "butthurt" Pixel fanboy saying Axon will not get Android N.
Where did i state such a thing?
Why not all just calm down now the miscommunication has been resolved and axon 7 users will get 7.1 as soon as it's developed.
After that we will surely start seeing more mods and development as well as i personally would not start developing for an operating system that's soon going to become obsolete and risk doing almost everything again... I'd just wait for the latest promised android version to be released and then start making modifications
Nice day and i can guarantee that a few weeks after the update development will have picked up. probably

I really want to stop this, but I must point out again you apparently can't read. I did NOT say that. You can check my post -- which has not been edited. The word you have in quotes is only in your mind, not my post. I did say a lot of Pixel fanbois were "hurt" (feelings hurt, wounded?) the Axon 7 is equal to or better than the XL in many/most hardware specs, for half the price. I assumed you had listened to them, perhaps were one of them. One guy over there attacked me incessantly when I compared hardware specs and they started the false rumor (over there) the ZTE Axon 7 wouldn't get Nougat -- which is quite ignorant and silly if you know anything about the Axon 7.
You started with the name calling and said the ZTE was not getting Nougat in the near future. ZTE says otherwise, if you take them at their promise from two weeks ago. They are diligently working on their version of Nougat 7.1 at least -- since they heavily marketed this phone as being Daydream VR capable, which requires Nougat.
Thread closed - enough ding-dong stuff.

Any news on when we getting Oreo?

What the tittle says
Yes there is, we'll get it in 2 months period.
Any ideas why so long? Sony already got it and they are skinned as well as others are close behind like Samsung with their beta tests and htc why is this one taking so long to push since it is almost pure?

Sony have a much bigger dev team, plus sony has a large community of devs and testers that work for free since they release all their code to open source.
But is this not like the purest of Android ... On paper it should be just plug test and play for the A1?
In principle, yes. But I going by the apparent fact that Google isn't in charge of software but xiaomi is, my guess is that is the reason why there is no oreo yet...
I presume. I've heard good things for this company let's see how this phone will hold up to what people say
I think that the Andorid One topic is quite new for them (too) and they just have to collect their experience first so I'm pretty sure for the following updates they will get more and more routine so this is just the beginning....
With Android One, doesn't Google control the OS updates like in Pixel. We get security fixes along with Pixel
Android one suppose to be the first device after pixel and nexus to get Oreo.
Devices are getting beta version or something of Oreo.
And we are just waiting ,
Don't want to rush anything but atleast a official comment on the Oreo for android one would be grate...
They says by the end of this year,its mean December,calm down
I have a friend working in Mi China and he says their Target is indeed for December 2017. So let's just all chill out till then.
From what I guess Google isn't really controlling the updates of mi a1. STOCK android doesn't support capacitive nav bars and a IR sensor too. Moreover there are dual cameras on this phone. So mi has to so tweaks to accommodate all this. That's why it must be taking some time.

There is nothing like this. Android one is a program which ensures every updates not faster updates. So keep calm. They will release it by 31st Dec.
The update chain is not that what u r thinking right now.
Google - Processor manufacturers - OEMs - Beta testers - OEM - Public Release.
As far as what I've seen and heard on mi community discussions some guy had posted a pic of his discussion with one of the representatives from Xiaomi. It said that they werent sure on when they are going to release the update as they haven't finalized the date yet. They said that it could be in late january 2018

U11 Slice of Pie

With the August HTC announcement via Twitter that the U11 will receive Android 9.0 (Pie), wanted to get a specific Pie discussion going. I'm aware of the Software Update thread, etc,... but this is U11 PIE specific here.
Me personally. I'm hoping PIE brings a radio firmware update as well. I never got my Oreo VZW SMS issues resolved other than to stick with 7.1.1 until something comes along that works. And I don't like not having the latest security patches.
So that brings me to the next point. Hopefully PIE fulfills the promise of decoupling security updates from firmware and software updates. i.e., be able to always implement the latest security patches for that version of Android, regardless if the OEM provides updates or not. Here's to hoping.
Anyways, I know there are some PIE based ROMs out there, but hopefully when the first official HTC released PIE update hits the street, you'll hear it here first.
Cheers
1st of all, do you both have a history? or I'm the only one who feel this way.
2nd, Currently there is a Pie ROM here (https://forum.xda-developers.com/u11/development/rom-slim7-t3855041), try if you want
For me, I'm not so excited with HTC U11 official PIE release, since the U11 has capacitive keys so they cannot have or evolve to a way we can have gesture or something like that.
What I'm more looking forward to is all the custom ROM which will come after the official release !
So that brings me to the next point. Hopefully PIE fulfills the promise of decoupling security updates from firmware and software updates. i.e., be able to always implement the latest security patches for that version of Android, regardless if the OEM provides updates or not. Here's to hoping.

I'm debating if I should wait for pie or get a pixel 3xl. I have 2 U11's and one I got for free. With the black Friday deal on Verizon I won't even lose money. The question is HTC or Google Pie...
Me 2. But the boss may not be pleased I get another phone after a year.haha. Next phone pixel for me. Our phones are as important as our computers these days. She is apple fan too and she has told me a few times get an iphone over the years . Sure rip off to start but it gets updated for years. Despite this I like the flexibility of Android so pay extra for the pixel and get security updates.
When they announced we were going to be getting Pie on Twitter they stated 'Timeframes for roll-out will be announced in due course'. Has anyone heard anything about the roll-out as that statement was made three months ago?!
In this case "in due course" translates to "we have no plans".
I haven't seen any new information about Pie for the U11 since this announcement, and don't expect Pie in 2018.
Maybe in early 2019 ? But even that isn't sure.
Maybe HTC will close down before releasing it.

That's what I think. I did email HTC Support (waste of time) who advised me to go to settings and check for update! As much as I like this phone it will be my last HTC as they do not supply any after-sales customer care whatsoever!
i have similar sympathies. Up until now all of my phones except for one have been HTC devices but I have a feeling the company can't keep up anymore. Sense hasn't had a decent upgrade in ages. HTC apps like dialer look and work dated and now updates also take way too long. I remember that at some point they said 90 days (back in the Lollipop days) after a new android release and that would put Pie in November but we haven't even had a proper leak yet.
Unless they come out punching hard with the next model I'm afraid this has been it for me and HTC and I'll move maybe to the Sammy camp or something.
Other than the lack of updates, its a great phone, my minor issue is how bluetooth is handled when compared to my last phone (lg v20 ) which got water damaged. With the Lg v20 you could have 2 bluetooth devices connected at the same time. So in car you not need to worry if you had your headset connected if you got a call. Its a minor issue but a annoying you have to remember to turn off your watch (i got a huawei band 2 watch you can take calls on).
Anyway back on topic, I wonder Pie would add this feature or not so if you got a call you can take it on any of the two bluetooth devices.
Since the rumor that HTC was canceling early 2019 flagship phone, I think that may have some influences on Pie.

They said they're focusing on 5G phones
Well I got it all wrong.
Thank you for contacting HTC! We know how important your security means for you. We apologize as we do not have an information as to when security patches will be released. Manufacturers often wait for Google to deliver the available patches as they are the ones to roll out these updates. If you need a real-time assistance, you can always contact us via chat at https://t.co/26rR0YClsZ

Its googles fault, they are waiting for them previously when I asked it was the telco but it is never htc fault.

HTC release Pie for U11 life https://www.ubergizmo.com/2018/11/htc-u11-life-android-pie-update/
The firmware for the U11 life can't be that much different from the U11. We may get it quicker than we think?
Joooo ****ing pie in u11 Life?!!!!? Oh ****

No, we won't
U11 Life is an Android One device.

Is absolutely different. The life version is an "android one" device.
Is normal, as expected, that the u11 life get first the updates.
Now, should update the u12+, then the u11+ and the last the u11. If we get the update on February I would say that we are lucky.

U11 life has 2 version:
1 version with HTC software, officially not getting Pie, and will never get
1 version in the Android One program, so it get updated to Android Pie
Don't mess both version, because they are never the same .

In this case "in due course" translates to "we have no plans".
I haven't seen any new information about Pie for the U11 since this announcement, and don't expect Pie in 2018.
Maybe in early 2019 ? But even that isn't sure.
Maybe HTC will close down before releasing it.

I'm already expecting they will release a apology statement for not updating U11. Just wait for our awesome developer community
