Can anyone who has downloaded the update comment on the improvements?
Also, is the camera any better (especially in low light)?
I've only used it for a little while but seems almost the same to me, just different notifications... Maybe things load faster?
On my end, it was horrendously slow, looked the same and camera lagged. Went back to LOS.
Collective Dolby Atmos Port Thread OP checking in. Any noticeable changes to Dolby Atmos for this device?
Inc Axon 7 Atmos Update if so.
Stock music player randomly stops. Flashlight from pull down bar doesn't always work. Dolby kills the battery faster than on MM. No problems with the camera so far. My Voice has some issues still.
My thoughts on the update so far:
1) Camera is MUCH improved. Focuses much faster and more accurately in low light (which was awful before). Much better low light pix.
2) Notifications are different. I don't like them (yet). Seem harder to read.
3) Tapping the fingerprint sensor to load up camera doesn't work
4) A fee misc bugs here and there but overall speedy and much faster
5) Can't tell battery life yet as its been less than 24 hrs.
6) Signal ? seems stronger
7) Everything else seems the same.

Regarding your first point, how does it compare to the LOS14.1 google camera?

I can only compare LOS 14.1 to Marshmallow but the focus is MUCH improved on LOS 14.1 Nougat. Low light shots are pretty freaking great on LOS 14.1. I don't know a lot of what is going on but all I can say is that it seems much improved on LOS. Maybe UDev included some proprietary camera stuff in LOS?
EDIT: I've only been on LOS for one day and have taken all of 12 or so shots so definitely not a for sure thing. Just giving you my 2 cents.

No noticeable changes to Dolby Atmos, but the over-all sound seems slightly louder...But it may just be a placebo since there's other new stuff.
But as far as actual sound, it's all the same.

As for Nougat vs Marshmallow....
It's mostly "cosmetic" up to this point IMO.
I like the notifications a little better.
I haven't messed with the camera much (none in low light, yet)
Battery will take a few days to level out, so it's hard to tell yet on that
For the most part, it does feel about the same - but maybe a little smoother, but that may be some of the animation tweaks (like swiping away notifications).
Notifications expand a little different, I like that.
Double tap to wake seems to fade in, rather than instantly turn on the screen.
Over-all system seems louder... I've had to turn down my keyboard "sounds" on the apps I switch between (depending on the day)
I *still* wish there was a dark theme
Gonna update now, and then do a factory reset and start fresh with the phone. Did they update the music app? Can i finally play music in album order and not alphabetical? I really hope GPS speed is improved as well
Dolby EQ still won't let you customize the EQ and the sound is definitely louder, i only have to use 50% volume now with my ath-50 now before I'd have to use 80-90%.
With Dolby turned off the sound profile is the same but with Dolby enabled it's sounding different to me especially on YT, idk if i like it yet.

Sure, here are some:

The display size changes the DPI of the screen which wasn't available in 6.0 i think.
Wish they had included on screen buttons. I still haven't gotten used to the nav bar in the dark.

You can customize the EQ.... Open the Dolby Atmos app, choose the profile you want to change (Movie, Music, Game, Voice, ect...), click on it again and it will take you to the next screen where you can adjust the EQ (5 band EQ) and turn on or off: Volume Leveler, Dialogue Enhancer, Surround Virtualizer, ect.. .You also have 4 preset EQ's to pick from. Once you set it, you just back out and it saves it. It's always been this way.

Still MiFavor.... But, with some subtle changes. For the most part, it's still the same... The settings is now JUST the normal Android settings menu, not the "quick list" that nobody used (ok, I didn't use). But with Nova Launcher, it's pretty stock looking... Just the pull-down notification hasn't changed any.

I just installed this and it looks very cool, but it's pretty overwhelming. Any suggestions for which .IRS files work well with headset, speaker, and bluetooth headset? For bluetooth headset I've also got my regular mono one for phone calls, and I have a stereo bluetooth one from Jaybird so I'd assume they use different settings. Speaking of, what do you guys put the settings at as well.
I looked a bit at the Viper4android thread, but it's like 700 pages long.
Before you get you A$$ handed to you for not following the rules i will spare you the moment of humility and provide you with this since i was stuck in the same situation you were but simply went to google and entered "Viper4android settings" and stumbled upon this which HELPED me!!!!!

Oh, I didn't realize I was breaking a rule. You mean we can't discuss optimal settings for an app for our phones? The only rule I see that might be loosely tied is using search, but I have searched. I have searched and am aware of the main 700 page thread, and also the English viper website, none of these have users discussing the G2 specifically. I'd rather avoid that 700+ page thread since I am specifically asking about the G2 in the G2 forums and what settings work well for others.
Just to repeat, I'm not looking on how to get the program to run or install it, I am looking for other G2 owners feedback on which particular modes worked well for them. I thought it might be a nice discussion.
If I'm breaking the rules please delete my thread then, my apologies.
Moving on..
I don't use the bluetooth headset so I can't help you on that.
But for the headset, I realised that using the xHifi setting under clarity gives quite a little whitenoise. But not using makes your music sound muffled , so I guess it's a trade off(unless you know how to configure the IRS files). I am using my mid range sennheiser CX-300II without any IRS filters, cos none of them work well. You could try loading everything into the folder and going through them 1 by 1, or even making the file which is rather tedious. I couldn't be bothered, the playbackgain control and dynamic system is enough for me.
If you plug your phone into powerful speakers (I have a bose 321 but damn those things make the windows shake) you MUST turn off the VIPER bass and reduce the dynamic bass to ~15%. Differential surround(Haas effect) makes the sound sound off center on speakers so avoid it.
I noticed G2 doesn't have music effect setting, am i suppose to assume that viper is on?
No it's not that simple. What I did was:
1. Install the drivers
2. Backup build.prop then change the lines specified in the main thread for Viper
3. Install google play(doesn't work on stock LG player for me)
3b. (unsure if really necessary) Disable stock LG player
4. Reboot
5. Wait for boot to complete and see all the superSU permission flashing...
6. Play something, then go into viper, enable the first option on the speaker tab and check the "driver status". It should say that it is installed/normal, that it is enabled and that it is processing. To really be sure go play around with the settings but be careful with the gain (don't ramp it sky high and drop your phone in shock)

I just installed the app and it does all the necessary things for you. But still, Viper4Android sucks for our phone. The driver it installs significantly lowers the audio quality. With a huge amount of tweaking you can finally get the quality back up to where the G2 is at stock. Everyone is better off not using this mod for the G2 unless the author gets a much better audio driver designed for our chipset
check out the V4A audio profiles... it gives a great shares from people on settings... try them and check out the one you prefer

Yeah I don't know how happy I am with this app yet. I can get stuff louder, but I hear more distortion, but I have to play around a bit. One odd thing is that different things have different volumes after installing this. For example, my speaker phone when in a call is nice and loud, but when checking voicemail it is very quiet, kind of odd and I can't figure out how to selectively fix these things so I may be forced to uninstall.

I think you guys really don't know what you're taking about. The clarity viper adds to the sound on both my stereo and my headphones is absolutely unreal. After having set up viper, I think the biggest flaw of a stock g2 might be the dull und muffled sound it transfers to proper speakers.

Think what you want but the drivers this uses noticeably took away from clarity in all aspects of the sound. Every speaker setup can sound different so maybe this type of sound just works better for you, my high end systems though it definitely takes a lot away from the audio

That's good news to me. Can you post up exactly what settings, .irs files,etc you have? I'd be most interested in phone-speaker settings, but I wouldn't mind just piggybacking off you since you say you have such stellar results.

neither am I nore do I have a high end soundsystem so I don't notice the difference to the worse. Who listens to anything on a high end soundsystem through a phone?
On my dynavoice speakers and my b&w headphones my music gets several different new dimensions using viper, regardless of the code of the driver.
Edit: of course every setup and every set of ears gets different subjective results. But it's so obvious that the sound is so much better with viper

This is my headphones profile. I haven't set up one for the phone speakers. It's a modified copy of something I found somewhere on xda. I guess you can just create a headphone profile yourself and then copy in the following text instead of what it says in your backed up profile. But I'm not sure if that will work or if it will destroy your phone and kill your family. You will find your profiles (once they are backed up) under storage/emulated/0/viper4android/profile. This works on my headphones and with my ears, that doesn't mean it will work for you. Here it goes:

I've been playing with Nexus 6 Android 5.1 since last 4 days now and here are my Impressions, changelog
Under the Hood Improvements in 5.1 based on all commits Google made:
50+ commits (changes) to fix memory leaks,
Over 76 commits (changes) that fix performance
Kernel CPU thread management Improvements
Better performance for Qualcomm 8xx CPUs:
Better performance for encrypted devices
No Wifi drain: Solved across all devices.
Wakelocks fixed
1000+ other minor fixes.
New Features:
HD Voice calling, New Bluetooth, Wifi shortcuts, Stolen Device Protection, Dual-SIM support, Ringer modes (Priority) improved, (Hidden) Google VPN
My Impressions
My Nexus 6 feels at least 30% faster on stock encrypted and nearly 20% faster unencrypted. The real benefits are apparent on nearly everything you do. Multitasking is now what it should’ve been. No reboots, no crashes so far.
On Android 5.0, I used to have nearly 50% RAM free (1.5 GB) at all times. Now its like 1.1 GB used and 1.9GB free (with standard apps running).
Battery life has been slightly better too.

Silent mode is the priority option now. Just put it to none and you have silent mode. Plus its even better than silent mode because you can choose how long you want it to be silent till it goes back to sound notifications just in case your someone who always forgets to turn sound back on.

Don't need it....perhaps after WiFi calling update
Just curious if anyone is disappointed in the v20? I know some have already received their units.
The YouTube reviews are very mixed. Most seem positive, but I'm looking objectivity too. Not just the LG fans. Honesty.
Curious - thanks.
What reviews are you looking at? I've seen 95% very positive reviews.
i feel the screen could have been better.. i like the amoleds
The phone itself I love. There are software changes I could change.
Oh, I do wish there was an LED indicator. Makes it easier to know what's going on from across the room. 2nd screen is hard to read from afar.
I'm just trying to get used to LG again from using Samsung for the last year. I wish the stock launcher was a little bit....more. I used the stock touch-wiz on the S7 edge and Note 7 and actually liked it (I know, I know) and I feel like the LG launcher is a little meh in comparison. Switched to Smart Launcher and all is well there. I do sort of wish the screen was AMOLED, but that said, the screen on this thing is in no way bad. Otherwise, fantastic phone and so nice to be on a proper 5.7 screen again.
Has anyone found a way to schedule comfort mode? I don't like I have to go turn it on and off.

Try Nova. It works well with my v20
I will get mine tonight and will let you know what I dont like. I have a Nexus 6P at the moment and had 4 Note 7 in 1 month. The Note 7 was a great phone from the design but Touchwiz is so slow and laggy it was annoying. The screen of course was gorgeous and the camera was great. The 6P is in general fast but stock android is so blunt. I had Nexus phone for 4 years. The 6Ps camera is slow and the stock camera app is awfully simple. The AMOLED on the 6P is awful (yellow tint and dark). I rather have a good LCD than a bad AMOLED. On the N7 and the ^P battery life was just OK. Nothing to brag about.
I hope from the V20 that the screen is decent, the camera is fast and takes good pictures and that the battery life is decent. I am most concerned about battery life but we will see.

Switch to a different launcher like Nova and then customize it the way you want it to look and that way you can take that look with you from phone to phone.

It is. Even with phone in silent it still makes the shutter sound. Nothing mutes it.
I use Nova launcher prime. I like Nova so much it's one of the few apps I bought gladly.
I'm shocked you can't disable the shutter sound. That sucks. I take pictures of my grandkids a lot and the sound makes them wild! LOL they want to hear it over and over... LOL ?
I guess that'll have to be something once it's rooted and custom rooms start showing up.
My last 2 phones have been Samsung. Galaxy S3 which I kept for nearly 2 years, and now the Samsung Note 4 which I've had for almost exactly 2 years. Before the S3 I was either using an iPhone or the LG 3D phone which I can't remember the model number.
So my dilemma is I read the specs for the v20 and I'm underwhelmed. Then I compare against my note 4 and don't see enough "upgrades"... I like the ticker screen on top, I think that's awesome. I like the wide angle camera but the images look so fish eyed I can't imagine using that for taking pictures of my kids (my main photo subjects) for scenery or artistic shots I'm sure it's amazing. But I'm no photographer, I want good pictures and fast camera response. (and no shutter speed)
I agree with the poster who said a good lcd screen is better than a bad amoled screen. I do wish it was amoled but it isn't so...
Thank you all for the info. Please keep it coming.

It is. Even with phone in silent it still makes the shutter sound. Nothing mutes it.

Have you tried a different camera app than the one that comes pre-installed?

No, I haven't. You have a goto 3rd party suggestion?

Try Nova. It works well with my v20

Nova is a great launcher, don't get me wrong. I'm just getting lazy in setting up my phone and Smart Launcher lets me customize my phone without having to set up folders and organize things myself. Nova requires so much initial set-up and I just don't have the patience lately.
Back on subject though, the more I use this phone, the more I love it. It sucked to have to give back the Note 7, but this is a worthy replacement and feels so well built.

I use Open Camera. I just checked it and you can turn off the shutter sound in it.

It's a bit complex but it has a camera sounds options in it: Camera FV-5 I think it has a freebie trial version so you don't have to buy it. (Only reason I got it was to shoot RAW on my Nexus 6. The V20 already has the RAW option baked in.)

Although, I just thought about this and I'm now curious to see if any of these 3rd party camera apps will work with the V20 since it has all the cameras and not just one front one back.
Do you have the korean version? Korean and Japanese phones have shutter sounds always-on to attempt to curtail "up-skirt" photography.

I'm using the T-Mobile version. With the phone on silent, the camera makes no shutter sound. So it may only be the international version.
We want ZTE to add Camera Api2 support for Axon 7
why do we want it? it is easy to add! and axon 7 supports it, But is not enabled by ZTE yet.
"Camera API 2.0 is New API which allowing you much better camera control by camera apps and also increase the performance of camera.
Camera API 2.0 is fast enough to take advantage of the full resolution of the sensor at 30 fps-burst mode. This means HDR or other such computational photography should be much "cheaper" to do on Android devices. The new API also allows for much more fine-grained control of the sensor, lens and flash per individual frame".

Great idea!
In the same time would be write to send a petition
About stock player improvements or api for the sound libraries.
We have No useable player since release that fully utilizing the DAC....
What do you think?

I'd rather have them do it like it is done on LOS based roms ie only AKM dac is used.

On listening tests, neutron NOT. AIMP not tested A/B yet.
Neutron sounds differently that stock player on all settings.
I have wrote to developer, but no reply yet.
Also wrote to N7 player develeper, how he do that,
because it is the closest sounding to the Stock player. I can't say that it's exaclty same, but it is a good news listening on hiend monitor speakers or Sony headphones.
Neutron messing up the sound, and goes up until 48khz.
Thank you for the reply.

I'm on stock chinese v2.0 b13, no other custom ROM tested yet. Would be great to do A/B test with between theese two roms, but rooting custom ROM is tricky, becuase of guarantiee. I'm afraid that any problem on unlocking the phone and anything goes wrong I could no live without this phone even one day
(I could record the same sound to hi end recorders from each ROM and compare them in studio quality tests, it's not problem for me from the sound perspective, but "bricking axe" is always above us
Well how about we add --" DAC on/off "-- function toggle? for general use off, for some hi-fi moments you can turn it on, to use the very capable DAC.
What do you say? ( the more attention this matter gets, The more likely it will be taken into consideration and approved, and added .
Cheers!

That already exists and is a quick settings toggle on MiFavor 5. On MiFavor 4 it is under Sound - Hi-Fi
Did you guys actually buy this phone for the camera? I thought that it was literally the worst part of the phone.
Nothing wrong with wanting it though, if we can get the better camera api I'm all with you, but it seems fruitless for this phone unless someone can figure out how to update the firmware for our phones. I doubt ZTE will update ours until the axon 8.
TL/DR: I participated in the petition, but don't expect anything they never work. You should go over to the ZTE forums and try to request it there

Done, On usa community and on European too.
Thing is, Next ZTE hero device will try to be better in this area.
3rd party apps go a long way making things better
Anybody know of a fix for the ridiculous amount of lag on Pie? Between that and the sad excuse of video recording, I'm really debating on going back to my buttery smooth Z2force. The only problem is this phone is pure eye candy, comfortable to hold, and my hands have betrayed my eyes recognition of the lag and fell in love this phone. . The performance is more like snapdragon 620 than 835. Any help regarding this situation would be highly appreciated
I have no lag on Pie, beta 3 or official. Sounds like your due for a full wipe
Well now that sucks considering I just moved about 90gigs to the device and thought I did a full wipe but just notice Alexa still installed. The funny thing is I had very little late lag on Beta 3.

I discovered this a month ago and it helps.just go to root/system/buildprop. Add the following to right under additional build settings.then reboot. That's the default setting, but u can mess with the value to get it to your liking
You're only saying there is lag, you're not describing where you are seeing this lag?
The only thing I can say is I thought apps would open faster on this, I have a phone with a SD625, and between this and the Essential, opening and closing apps seems like the same speed. But the startup on the Essential is faster...

Scrolling in-app, swiping in-app and launcher, and also scrolling cards in recents. I have a z2force with SD835 and comparing this phone to the z2 this phone feels like an SD626

If I were you, I'd wipe everything, and then fastboot the full official pie update. Just to fully eliminate software.
Hi there I am the same boat like you . I got lag typing on keyboard scroll is not smooth at all .I tried reinstalling the latest build and factory full reset pus wipe all data .I can't resolve the lag I think they rush to get it in the same date like the pixel but is not optimised for this device for example get an icon and hold it and get it to place it in another location you will find out that the icon is behind when you move it
The only and I think temporary fix is by doing this
Go and click 5 times on build number and go in developer settings you will find there touch sensitivity set it to 10 let say default is 4 I think . You will improve touch latency a bit .
I just bought the device I don't know how it was on Oreo but I can say on this pie build official is not smooth
@mookiexl got to the Developer Options;
Windows animation scale - off
Transition animation scale - off or .5x
Animator duration scale - off or .5x
Also increasing the 'Touch Sensitivity' increases the scrolling speed.
Play with these and watch it fly! LOL
It would be great if someone can take a video so we can actually see this lag with our own eyes.
I just got my phone and it turned out bad, sending it back, new one on the way. It makes me wonder now if all the stories about bad hardware is true on these phones, since I've never had a bad phone ever in my life, then my first Essential turns out bad.
Wifi problems connecting
Statusbar icons appearing in white, turn all black
Phone speaker, bad quality, can't even turn it up, or it gets distorted
Head speaker, is low, volume isn't loud enough
Adaptive brightness doesn't work
Volume got stuck at one point when it was set as all the way down, no sound, then I wasn't able turn the sound back on, nothing would happen on either buttons...
So hopefully new phone arriving will be better, and from this experience, I think I'll keep it on Oreo for a long time, until people start raving over Pie.
And between a SD625 and this SD835, can't say I saw a big speed difference too... hmm

I hear ya brother. To be fair I haven't had any of those other problems I heard about before buying the phone besides what's mentioned in this thread. 3rd party camera apps with full manual control drastically improved camera quality for my device. If you want to see the lag I'm taking about just YouTube it.
As far as SD625 and Sd835, there's a huge difference for me being a power user. Lots of gaming, editing videos, download big files, or even just transferring data from internal to external sd you will definitely see a big difference in performance during any memory extensive task.
@mookiexl
Do you know any YouTube videos with the same issues you're having, you can show us?
I only found one for Camera Portrait Lag.
Fastboot install of 9.0 over the official July 8.1. Magisk root.
No device lag or issues with WiFi, volume or any of the things above. The only lag I see is my own getting to grips with the UI changes.
USOpen device used in the UK.
It sounds like you're both having some kind of install/integrity issue. Did you test the checksum?

All I've done since receiving the device is take all system updates and then unlocked bootloader which in turn wipe data. See the video I posted for details. If you have another SD835 device to compare it too try tha,t or better yet don't because it will make the lag very bothersome once you know its there.
That video is a year old. I have no discernible lag even with upward of 20 apps in the background, but I'm not saying that you don't.
Also, I had this and a Google PXL at the same time up until a few weeks ago. If anything, the PH1 was better, smoother and faster.
I've got serious lag... Keyoress lag, stuttering during scrolling. Could it be because of RAM usage? The stats in developer options say that I using 3.4 out of 3.9 gb on average....
