    Blade Zmax dual camera effects on the Pro

    The Dual Camera setup on the BLADE ZMAX allows an effect called Bokeh, where the background behind a subject is blurred. Install a free app on the PRO called AfterFocus and you'll be able to quickly achieve the same effect. Surprisingly, AfterFocus sometimes delivers better, more accurate...

    Android Nougat folders look awful

    Just got a new device which has Android 7.1 Nougat. My previous device was 6. I have always created multiple folders on my home screen for my apps; SOCIAL, MUSIC, SHOPPING, etc. The previous way that Android created the icon for folders was to stack images of the contents, the first app being...

    Hurricane Irma

    Not sure how to contact a moderator on here, but I tried to create a ZTE BLADE Z MAX device forum, but wasn't able to select the device from the list. So, I just created a thread in Android Devices called ZTE BLADE Z MAX If there's a MOD that can correct that and make it a device specific...

    USB mirroring not possible?

    I've tried to get the app Vysor to work, to mirror the phone on my laptop via USB. I have debugging enabled, followed all directions. It doesn't work. Any ideas? Any other alternative USB mirroring solutions? Thanks :)

    ZMAX PRO unrootable = SAFE

    I hear people complaining about not being able to root this phone, and I understand. It would be nice to overclock and tweak other aspects of the OS. But, then I hear of recent threats to the Android OS that secretly root phones and install malware. CopyCat Malware Roots Devices, Shows...

    YouTube/Instagram issues?

    Not sure if this is a ZMAX problem or something else? After updating to the latest YouTube and Instagram apps, often the YouTube video is blank (no video) but with sound, and Instagram video just flickers and never loads. I tried deleting cache to no effect. When I reboot the phone all is well...

    Slight screen burn in issues

    I use my phone a LOT. I've noticed slight screen burn in of the top Android menu bar. Anyone else notice this? I usually have my screen pretty bright also.

    Possible names for the next Samsung phone

    They may need to drop "Note" from the name. Just end the entire Note line and start a new line. My suggestions for names for their next phone... Samsung Explosion Samsung Scorch Samsung Naaah and my favorite... Samsung Recall

    Two Visual Voicemail options?

    There's a visual voicemail app pre-installed as part of the MetroPCS apps. There's also a visual voicemail option within the phone dialer app itself. When someone leaves a message, I think the two options are conflicting or the phone dialer app is overriding the metro app. Which app should I...

    Adding wireless charging

    I think I'm going to try ordering one of these things... I just hope that the "receiver" doesn't cover the fingerprint scanner or the speaker. Anyone know of others like this that are likely to work with the ZMAX PRO? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HCTSRJ2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_vu-XxbMAWYXDG

    Anyone know of secret menu's or codes?

    Sometimes phones have secret menu's or options that you can access via entering specific codes into the phone dialer. Sometimes you can access calibration tools such as screen touch sensitivity, etc. Anyone know of any codes for this phone? Any general ZTE codes?

    Any way to boost speaker volume?

    I was VERY happy with the speaker quality on the original ZMAX. The speaker on this phone isn't bad... but it is nowhere as good as the original ZMAX. I can imagine that if you're only familiar with cheaper phones and their speakers you'll think the ZMAX PRO is great, but coming from the...

    Snapdragon 615 not 617?

    CPU-Z reports that the phone has a Snapdragon 615 CPU. Most websites are incorrectly the phone as having a Snapdragon 617?

    Battery Full and % PROBLEMS.

    Everything has been working well with the phone. Until tonight. I used the battery until it was at 1% and plugged in the charger. I continued to use the phone while it charged. When the phone reached 82% the message appeared telling me that the battery was fully charged and to unplug the...

    How many units sold?

    I noticed that the MetroPCS website seemed to sell out of the ZMAX PRO within the first few hours of it becoming available. I ended up getting the last one at a store. How many ZMAX PRO's do you think they moved on the first day? I'm hoping the phone is a huge success and also I hope it brings...

    VoLTE? YES

    When the original ZMAX was released it did not have VoLTE enabled. The ZMAX PRO does not have VoLTE. Is this phone even capable of VoLTE and is there a possibility to add the feature through a future phone update?

    USB-C port limited to Quick Charge v1.0?

    Does the phone have ability to Quick Charge with an appropriate charger? Current charge is about 1% per minute. 100 minutes (1 hour 40 minutes) for a full charge from 0% to 100%. Why would they add a USB-C port without Quick Charge ability? If that's the case, it will make it much more...
