Hi there
so I should not have asked this as a Q/A thread. I was hoping with the update they may have fixed the issue but no such joy. Hopefully someone has a work around or a fix:
I have been looking for a replacement for my Moto X Pure (because I am idiot and lost it). I liked the specs and the price of the Axon7 (having an support for an external SSD won me over vrs One Plus). Anyways I should have checked here first as there is a serious limitation for my use case. I use my phone for my work. Due to the way the work policies were setup we have to enable the password for Android start up. And as some of us have found out the hard ware that option is NOT supported with the current OS on the phone. From what I have read the phone is pre-encrypted so this option was removed.
My question (I know finally) was is there any way to get the start Android password working? I heard something about the un-locked boot loader but not sure if that is the ticket. I am not sure why the folks at ZTE removed that feature/option. Without getting this option re-enabled I have no choice but to send this phone back (take advantage of the 30 day money back guarantee) and look for something else... other than that I really like this phone! As always thank you XDA members!
Here is what I am seeing:

But when you try to touch to change the setting, it takes you to the area where you set/reset your screen lock password. And you get stuck in that loop.

From all I have seen, the startup password protection is not present on the ZTE rom. You can hit up the official forum mods for an answer, give them the app that is causing this so it can be verified. There are instances where people were prompted for password on startup after installing and wiping in TWRP. This is most likely the Android Device Manager suspicious behavior protection based on wording of the prompt
http://en.miui.com/thread-324522-1-1.html But i don't think this can be made a permanent prompt

thanks for the info. I ended up calling ZTE tech support on this issue. And after some digging they came back to me with "this is a know issue and we are working on it with no ETA yet" reply. So hopefully that will get some traction. The personal question is do I want to wait for them to fix it? Or should I return and get something else to support the cooperate work needs. But that is more of a personal question I have to answer... Thank you again!
Same problem here - I would buy this device but work requires the PIN (and no root) so currently not able to purchase. This and the lack of T-Mobile Wifi calling in current builds are the big blockers for me. I don't have trust to purchase until both are addressed. Hopefully that is soon as the new Google "Pixel" phones next week (despite the higher likely cost) are the alternative option to me right now.
This is far fetched, but some removed settings like screen on time are accessible through custom launcher activities like SOT. Maybe worth a shot?

Use ampere for play store for app usage.
Can anyone with a device confirm if that app provides access to the settings and this works?

Hello everyone, this is my first post on xda forums. I hope someone out there might be able to help me out.
I accidentally found out that on my galaxy s4 I9500 lock screen, I can still press and hold power button and it gives me options to power off/restart my phone. I have pattern lock enabled. I tried and successfully powered off the phone straight from my lock screen, not to mention that it scared me out. What if it gets stolen? Anybody can turn if off and I wont be able to track it down or enable any thing via SMS commands etc.
What's the purpose of lock screen if the phone can be turned off, if not unlocked, and I couldn't do anything about it.
I recently updated android 4.4 and I am not sure whether or not this issue persisted before that. I am attaching a screenshot of it. Looking forward for someone to sort this out for me. Thanks.

Did you just find out after reading this post or were you aware of it before?
And have you not thought that even if it is as you describe what is the benefit
not so great
If someone steals your phone much easier to remove the battery and that is even faster than pressing buttons
this is just my personal opinion

Yes, you're absolutely right, but then again it raises a big question mark on all the tracking and anti-theft apps as well as Google's own android device manager feature a bunch of crappy apps which do no good at all except for playing sirens via laptop on your own phone and thinking it actually works.
Plus if the thief is within the room, he wont go through all the trouble of removing the protective case, back cover and then removing battery itself. He'd simply turn it off and wait.
It has been like this since I can remember, way before 4.4. In GS3 and GS4, probably in SGII too, this I don't remember.

Hi friends!
I need your help with my new Cover Case with a Circle in the screen.
(Sorry for my english, i am spanish)
I want to know how can I see a clock, or answer a call without open the case.
I bought a case like this and I can't do it for myself.
amazon.es/MYLB-funda-cubierta-cover-smartphone/dp/B017376ZZQ/ref=sr_1_20?ie=UTF8&qid=1446550917&sr=8-20&keywords=zuk+z1+funda

Please help me.
Thanks you in advance!
This is the official page:
nillkin.com/english/proshow.asp?mid=2&sid=0&tid=0&cid=1&scid=&id=5502&page=1
Can anyone help me, please? :crying:
I have the same problem.
My case is not Nillkin's but original (?) Zuk, but it lack usefullnes of case window, either.
All that is possible - after last OTA update - opening the case activates the screen and vice versa. Before update even this functionality did not work or worked randomly.
No possibility to obtain clock view or answer the phone like it is advertised.
In my old LG there is option to activate this funcion in Android settings. There is none in Cyanogen in ZUK.
So it propably does not work in Cyanogen (yet??), maybe it's active in ZUI.
Unless someone else knows how to resolve this issue ...

I think the only way to operate the quick cover (which is not natively supported by cyanogen) and install an app called Watch maker Live wallpaper .. that way put a clock as background circular & centers with your quick cover!

That is what I heard. On the official ZUKstore people asked the same question under the original flip case, the official reply was something like "we will post a how-to-guide on our homepage".
So far I have not noticed anything, but should be in development. I hope. If anyone gets it to work with CyanogenOS, please tell us how. Thank you!
Thanks to all.
@fr4nkr0c I tried the app, but no work, because when the flip close: the screen turn off.
@7hommy Can you Paste here the link for these official answer?
I,ve asked on: zukmobile.cc a couple of days ago, after their earlier standard info meaning "sure it works".
The answer was this time: "We will release the guide on our website,please check our website"
So there might be a chance of a system update.
We need to wait for some community roms and apps, then it'll work.
Newer news???
Nope,
Now it's nice, good quality cover with useless window.

I was going to say that! I've started a home screen page with a wallpaper and clock I made. If anyone gets the app I've hundreds of watchfaces from all makes. I got and made off watchmaker. They are ideal for this. As you can use any wallpaper and "clock". It is a con though. Wonder if it's a Chinese function.
If anyone wants a particular watch I'll post a Dropbox link for them.

I dont have the skills yet but maybe you guys is able to port this LG G3 app for the Zuk Z1? http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/themes-apps/app-lg-qcircleview-aosp-t3043744
Well, i found these apps: anymode circle app, and Zview. These are apps for other cases which use the round smart window. However, to activate them you need a key provided with an actual case. So if anyone bought a case from these guys and is willing to share....who knows, we might have a workgin smart case.
I got in touch with one of the official Nillkin sellers and this is his answer:
Thank you so much for support Nillkin, there is not app for the zuk z1, all you need to do is install our sparkle case to your phone and open your phone setting, click the permission, after your phone approve the this operation, you can enjoy the window function
if you have any question,please feel free to ask me

My guess is in ZUI version there is an option for smart view. If anyone can confirm, it would be great. In cyanogen there is no such thing
any new news
i have this problem
Yes it does work on zui
Yes it works for zui but zui is crap crap crap
i have same problem clock and call not appear in cover circle please any one explain here this issue
just install zui
Just install zui n version it have option for smart cover n plz reply me if its work
I can't confirm that it's working. I tried both flip cases with and without window. I also checked the smart cover option in zui settings. It's not working. Shame on zuk. BTW I'm using zui 3.1.194st.
Dear all,
I have received my Axon 7 (A2017G) yesterday and I'm considering to return it to the vendor.
While the hardware is close to perfection (I really love the device), some software bugs are driving me crazy.
For your information, before registering my Google account or installing any app, I have updated to B10, Nougat and then 7.1.1 (build A2017GV1.2.0B01).
I do not want to root my device because I may loose access to my corporate data (and also may loose my ability to return the device and get my money back).
The biggest issues the inability to use my Samsung smartwatch Gear S2. Soon after the phone is locked (screen off), the Gear S plugin is killed by the OS and I loose the connectivity between the phone and the Watch. I have to restart the gear application manually. I have played a bit with the applications power management options but without success (I have unticked all policies for the Samsung Gear application and even restarted the phone but the same behavior is happening). I don't see how it could be possible to solve this issue without rooting the phone...
The other issue is the famous playstore issue. I can't understand how such a visible and blocking issue has not been adressed by ZTE yet (after a week). Even if a workaround exist, it's still embarassing. Furthermore it raises concerns about ZTE software quality related processes...
Besides that, I may have missed some text messages yesterday (to be confirmed) and I have also encountered other suspicious behaviors.
Anyway, I'm hesitating because I really love the device itself but I need at least:
1) To fix the issue with my Gear S2
2) To obtain some assurance that ZTE will quickly fix the playstore issues (this is honestly difficult to understand)
Thank you in advance for your feedback and suggestions.
Best regards,
Did you try going to the power manager and disabling any battery-saving feature on that plugin app as shown here?

Was beat to it, but I suggest disabling all power management options for the Gear app. I had issues work Pandora closing when I locked the screen.
As for the Play store issue: I don't understand why it's embarrassing. Google changed something in the apk that of choosing an issue. It is an issue that had been posted on the ZTE Axon forum (https://community.zteusa.com/thread/15221?start=225&tstart=0) so I'm pretty sure they know about it and are working on it.
As I said, I have already disabled all power management options for the gear app and it's not solving the issue unfortunately
Maybe this is because the gear app is in fact an app (Gear app) and a "service" (the gear plugin), but the gear plugin is not displayed in the power management options...

If you're ok with it, I suggest deicing to the performance power plan. My only other suggestion is to perform a factor reset. Since you plan to returning it if you can't get it working your going to lose everything on they phone anyway.
Yep, that's what I will do this week-end.
Factory reset and try to see if major issues are still present. If this is the case, I'll return it.
Thanks

ZTE already announced a B2 that fixes the Play store, and Whatsapp. hang on tight. You can fix the playstore by deleting the updates and cancelling the auto update that appears, until it tries again at least.
For the Gear issue I guess you should find a way to check why the app closes. maybe there's a monitor app somewhere?
You can also try downgrading to Marshmallow B11 or B10 for some time. I think you can with the stock MiFavor installer... I guess it might even fix your Gear.
Hi fraga i might be able to provide u some information regarding this issue.
may i have ur email address.
Hi nharees, you can contact me directly in this thread or via private message in the forum. I don't understand why you would need my private email address.
So most of the issues have been fixed with the lastest version except the gear S2 which is still not working as expected (gear S plugin regularly killed by ZTE application manager...)
Just went non stock and haven't looked back. I was running a buggy b29 (camera bug) for months, and as soon as the sound issue was fixed I jumped shipped. Battery life is great, no crappy mifavour skin and everything works as expected from my testing... Just a thought
Running XXXNoLimits, OOS 10.3, Elemental X kernal
Did not update anything this week. Now, under settings-google there is "covid-19 notifications". Had to have been either carrier pushed or a google back door. I don't even have a google account on my phone!
Shows "on/1app" but when I push it the screen just goes dark until I hit back.
Titanium and App ops can't find it.
I keep bluetooth off and only turn location on when I need Magic Earth Maps, then turn it back off, however, the pisses me the f**k off that it has been loaded on my phone.
I have a Samsug Tab running Lineage and it is not there, but the tab is wifi only. Tried Lineage 3 times on my phone and can not get Signal messenger to work and that is a deal breaker for me.
Anyway, how do we get rid it this??
Is this the screen you are referring to, but with different info populating it?

I don't have any Covid apps installed so for me there are no settings to turn on or off; this form of contact tracing is not yet available where I live.
The big question is what app on your phone is being detected as a contact tracing app.
Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using Tapatalk
How do the notifications look like? Regular notifications? Perhaps take a screenshot when you see another one. You should be able to trace which app (or system element) is spewing out these nuisances by long pressing the notification and take more actions by tapping the gear icon top right...
@franken..... I actually don't get to that screen, but that is the right place. Checked a another Android and that is the screen it goes to, mine just goes black.
@timmmmm...haven't gotten any notifications as I don't have any covd apps.
Settings does, however show "on/1 app". I am guessing a glitch since I have leashed google w xxx, Titanium, and App Opps.
I have not done the last system update. Don't have a google account, but do have a google Fi sim card since I live overseas and it works here.
I read google pushed this out as a new setting, for those that download covid apps, blah, blah, blah.......but HOW?
And how do we get rid of it. Article I read on a UK new site said "usage and diagnostics" is where you can turn it off and on, my phone was and is set to off, but I still wanna get rid of it.
That's part of a Google Play Services update, you can't remove it.
If you don't opt-in explicitly, it should not have any effect.
Do you really want to trust that? I personally wouldnt trust anything said or done at this point. For sometime my phone's been acting weird. Note 9 completely stock. But my g7 power rooted since day one with a global variant still runs like a charm. I'd rather just remove it or better yet permanently disabled it through some exploit.

What exactly do you think the phone is doing with that Covid-19 notification setting without an app to drive it? Contact tracer apps need to plug into the local health authority, and only a few places in the US are doing it because people are so suspicious of big tech. I would gladly participate but it's not available in my area.

The only way to get rid of it is to delete Google Play Services. That's how they snuck it in. On Android Pie it's simple. Just debloat via ADB using pm list packages prompt and voila! it's gone. On Android 10 it works the same EXCEPT none of the google apps, firefox, instacart, or anything like that will WORK. So you can de-google all you want - they've baked it into everything. It's something I'm struggling with now since I was forced to upgrade.

This is the screen on my junsun v1 pro when I go into the trip computer on my Peugeot 208 1.4HDi. The gear icon (ringed in red) asks for a code when I tap on it and I cannot find a code for this anywhere. I have no idea what it's for since the other 2 screens just have a clear button to reset the trip memory. I assume there are some settings but since I can't find the code, I have no idea. If anyone knows what this code is I would be grateful!!
[edit] I have tried all the obvious ones: 8888 8878 1234 5678 etc etc etc

I assume this means that no-one here knows, or can hazard a guess. I posted the question in the wild hope that someone might have the same setup and know what the code is. To be honest, if you don't know what the code could be then I doubt that the system info and Mcu version will make any difference unless you have a magic key to extract it.
I don't have access to the car just now but, if it will make any difference I'll get the info when I do...

Usually it's better to post your question in a thread related to your head unit because many users will get an email with your question.
Most users will not read a thread with the generic title "any ideas please?" because in most cases it only contains a thrown down question asked by a lazy user.
Please install this tool

The app will show the technical name of the app (package) and the technical name of the screen (activity).
Package name should be com.ts.MainUI but activity name needs to be provided by yourself to allow further investigation.

Oh dear.
It would have been useful if someone with the same setup had happpened upon the question and know the answer. Every other feature works fine so I didn't expected someone to put in days of work to solve the issue and, honestly, I'm not that worried about it.
FWIW I have not had access to the car since last I posted the original question, so have not been able to get more info. I realise it was probably very rude of me not to say that before but the post had dropped down so many pages I assumed it would fade into obscurity, like an 80s rock group.
I don't really want to get into an argument here, TorstenH, but are you a little bitter? Do you feel the world is treating you unfairly? It's the only reason I can see for that last post from you. I don't spend a lot of time on this forum and when i went looking for my post it was, something like, ten plus pages down so, as i said, I assumed it would be forgotten. Lighten up.
