    Looks like I'm joining the club

    I have 2 op5 coming in the mail tomorrow. Unless they're garbage I think I might keep it considering the only other phones that have what I want are the 3t and the 6p. How's everyone's experience been so far?

    Well. That's it. R.I.P. zmax pro.

    Well it finally happened. My xzmax pro doesn't work anymore.its had a faulty touchscreen for a long time now and 2 days ago the entire screen stopped responding to touch completely. I can't even turn the device off. At best I can unlock it with my fingerprint, restart it (holding power button...

    OP5 or an old (recent) flagship from swappa?

    I'm torn if I should get a OP5 when it comes out for save a few bucks and get a used flagship from swappa? Beyond the processor it feels like it's a OP5 and an "old" flagship would be on equal footing. As far as what used phones I'm considering so far off the top of my head? Probably the 6P...

    Where do I go from here?

I'm aware I could pay the 15 dollars and get a replacement...

    Google Assistant. Do you have it yet?

    As I'm sure many of you know Google is pushing out it's Google Assistant to all phones that have 6.0+ with at least 1.5 GB of RAM and 720 (and up) resolution. The ZTE zmax pro checks off all of the requirements. I'm in the beta program of many Google apps (including the Google app and Google...

    Loss of battery life

    Is it just me or have other users noticed their screen on time is dwindling? I was pulling 7 or more hrs of s.o.t. (screen on time) when I first got the device. Now 5 or 5.5 hrs is the norm. Awfully dramatic change considering this phone isn't very old. Originally I thought Facebook was to...

    Ready to remove the ugly carrier branding in status bar?

    I found a pretty good app that works by placing another status bar over your existing one (you can't see the old one) that offers some features you see in CyanogenMod and other custom Roms or even in gravity box in terms of tweaks to the status bar. Not as customizable as a custom ROM or with...

    Fingerprint gestures app.

    The newly released fingerprint gestures app says it's not compatible with our device (zmax pro) I found this hard to believe. I looked for the apk from XDA labs and I'm happy to report that tap and double tap work well. The swipe gesture i wasn't able to make work. Maybe someone else will have...

    Recording video at 60fps?

    Is it possible to record videos at 60fps with our device? I noticed the stock camera app provides for the ability to record video in slow motion. If that's possible shouldn't we in theory be able to record at 60fps? I've tried a ton of camera apps and even though I've changed the fps to 60...

    We have a gyroscope!

    I ran a benchmark with antutu (scored 46k ish) and noticed we have a gyroscope when browsing the info section. I downloaded the Google camera app. Photosphere works flawlessly. Tried VR and sure enough head tracking worked but now where the hell can we find a cardboard to fit this 6inch...
