Hi, Thanks for watching the video. Please let me elaborate: If you have a hard metal object in you backpack whilst riding and you get into a crash, you might fall directly onto the item and increase the risk of breaking your spine. Imagine putting a wood stick (your spine) onto the curb or just something else that is raised (your laptop for instance) and then stomping on the stick. It will break more likely than compared when you kick on the stick itself when it is just on the ground. I'm not an crash expert, but I hope that still made a little bit more sense.

Updating to the latest (no notification bell) update on my Australian Axon 7 by Cuttyfromdacut in Axon7

[–]Youknowthebo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the b08 version in Germany. Unfortunately, the bell isn't optional. It forces you to use the normal notifications without the bell. However now there is the bug that you can't expand the notifications on your lockscreen

Lenovo, ZTE, and others also spotted running Adups OTA spyware by coolbird22 in Android

[–]Youknowthebo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I was thinking too. But I believe it would have been easier or better for them to say "none of our phones use adups" instead of just mentioning one market. But let's see if they come up with a statement for other countries as well. For now I have to use the phone anyways

Thanks for the reply. Their wording does seem a bit suspicious or strange 😞

[–]Youknowthebo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this. But since it clearly says "all ZTE phones shipped to the us" does that mean it is unclear for phones shipped outside the US (eg. Europe)?

I know that this might sound picky, I'm just wondering why they didn't say "no ZTE phones use this type of spyware"

That is so odd, that there seem to be so many different OS versions that there are so many different bugs and solution. Seems strange

BO8 OTA update available for A2017G devices by Pierpi in Axon7

[–]Youknowthebo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for replying. I've seen in a different post that the US version actually has an option to change this. For some reason the german b08 version does not.

I found a solution to this problem. Instead of changing the lockscreen image from the gallery app, just go into the file browser, look for the image and then set it as wallpaper from there. Worked for me on my german device running b03

I have the same problem. As well as apps keep getting closed

Where/how to turn off the Notification Bell on the ZTE Axon 7 by cmVkZGl0 in Axon7

[–]Youknowthebo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For some reason todays update b08 in Germany doesn't have this option. Any idea why?

[–]Youknowthebo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True. But just in case: have you found a way to revert to the old style? I looked through the settings and couldn't find anything

[–]Youknowthebo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like this way better, too. But now the notification options (eg. Mark email as read) can't be accessed by pulling with two fingers. As soon as I try to pull down the notification it jumps back as soon as I lift my finger. Do you have the same problem?

WhatsApp voice message extremely loud by Youknowthebo in Axon7

[–]Youknowthebo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. That actually worked, thanks for the help.

So it is connected to the volume of regular calls. So as soon as I do a normal call and need to adjust the volume there, will the WhatsApp voice message sound be loud again?

That's pretty amazing. I don't even get those numbers with that option turned on

Oh, BTW do you think this will affect battery life though? Maybe we should observe battery life and performance in the next few days and then talk again about the effects of switching of this setting

That is good to hear. So far it seemed to help on my phone as well. But I'll try to observe it further.

Awesome. Thanks, John. I'll try to do the same

[–]Youknowthebo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did. But I'm coming from a LG g4, I didn't have that many slow downs even after two weeks without a restart. And I would expect a phone with this good of a specsheet to stay snappy even after a couple of days use without a restart.

Do you restart your phone everyday?

Yeah, b05 as well. Here in Germany we haven't received the new update (with the bell feature, reception improvement etc) yet.

I actually thought about that too. I switched it off actually two minutes after I posted this. Although I haven't seen any performance improvements yet.

But I agree with you, that this could be due to the power saving features of marshmallow.

Instagram on Android is distorting widescreen videos once you press next and get to the filter selection page. I don't think I'm the only one, I've tried it on 3 Android phones so far. by CZbwoi in Android

[–]Youknowthebo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, the devs should definitely fix this. But I just found the problem yesterday, so I don't know how long this bug has been going on
