This phone is full of random glitches

I never was a fan of flicking down and hitting a button for something I need fast like a flashlight so I use button mapper where I double tap my home button for flashlight on and off. I don't fool with notification toggle for it anymore. No glitches using the app

Someone please help. I installed glance plus on my zmp and it make it hard to unlock the screen, so I try to uninstall it and it take me to permission settings. But when I try to turn it off as a device administrator settings force closes on me every time I can't get rid of this app

I know why you won't buy zmax pro. Too many bugs right? I don't blame you. I am stuck with this phone though coz it is the cheapest I can find with VR capability and big screen. And right now, those 3 things is all i want on a phone. For the most part, it does what I ALWAYS use for a phone, navigation while listening to music.

And to nino, I WISH I work for ZTE. Because there will be an update by NOW or long time ago, if I did.

"cheapest I can find with VR capability", and that is what has brought my life to this phone, besides needing a better battery than Nexus 5X (which has like 3.5hrs screen on time)

I can't even clear catche or disable, force stop???

What about clearing cache partition in recovery mode (don't know about this device but it's usually volume down and power (then after a few seconds release power only) while device is off)

Charles367 · Feb 19, 2017

I just tried that it let me disable it in settings but it's still on I got it turned off as device addmin but it's still on wtf and when I go to uninstall settings crashes. ???? And I tried to install the paid version over top of it no luck. It kills my battery and makes my screen difficult to unlock. Only thing I got left is a reset but I dont want to do that

Bard · Feb 21, 2017

Okay which of you called me on Sunday and cursed me out -_-;;

It seems like one guy made phone calls inside our hangout chatting room (i also got phone call 5am..) and someone else got really pissed and called me :mad:

I caved in and quit today; Entirely actually, today I retired from Android after 10 years of loyalty and picked up an iPhone from a Metro store. Kinda excited to try a new ecosystem really.

I put my Zmax Pro on Swappa too if anyone is interested: https://swappa.com/listing/WPU399

Best of luck to you all

Then 8 or 9, lol. Taking a shot in the dark from when Android first debuted with the G1. I was still in junior high at that time.

I agree. I've used the phone for less than 24hrs, I've gotten the corrupt screen flash, flashlight wouldn't turn on the first try, and screenshot animation sometimes lags, even the sound lags, like a N64 emu on a SD 2xx based phone. Fun times =).

There's supposed to be a couple of updates soon that could really improve performance and fix lots of issues

Best buy has Huawei honor 5x on sale . I picked up because of root. I have to say it's my first Huawei device and I'm impressed. Went to the manufacturer website to unlock bootloader it was so easy . Root,Xposed with lienage OS or cm13. The Zmp was a really nice phone IMO but I can't deal with it being so locked down. Never again ZTE
