All I stared to type was I've, and it added """had to eat as discussed""" after this review I'm using a 12gquge shotgun and making really tiny pieces of this phone. I recommend you do not buy this pos and move on to another. Ie tried calling Verizon and all I get from them is I'm sorry your having trouble goodbye!!!!!!! Swear to God. Worst phone I've ever had.
I did so much research, I read all these reviews saying 'flagship phone at a bargain price' - NO! No it is not! It is dreadful, it is incredibly horribly slow, it freezes up completely at times, the camera is rubbish. I hate this phone so, so much. I have a ZTE Axon 7 by the way, please avoid at all costs!
Correct me if I'm wrong but when you purchase a brand new item isn't the seller supposed to sell that item in working condition? Not the case with my brand new ZTE Z Has not worked even one day and cannot get a response from customer service. They literally stole my money. If you have read the reviews and still buy a ZTE phone you're asking for what you'll get I have a ZTE zs. It worked for only four months.
It had error messages saying it was out of storage space even though I deleted all my messages, contacts, photos, etc and put in a SAN Disk card. Because of this second message, I couldn't place calls. To try to restore the phone's functionality, I did two factory resets.
Both times I signed back into the phone using the gmail account I used to set the phone up. I also have photos from the phone on my google drive. I feel this is evidence that my phone was correctly synched to my gmail account. These resets did not restore the phone to a functional state. At the advice of a ZTE tech, I did a third reset from the reboot screen, something I had not done before. After this I could not sign into the phone. ZTE customer support staff would not take responsibility for the phone's dysfunction. I am a Lifeline customer, and feel ZTE dumped these old phones on a captive market of low income people.
Shame on them. Slower than snails walking backwards blindfolded.. It's that old saying you get would you pay for and these people should be incarcerated for peddling such Chinese garbage. What a mistake it would have to be the most useless piece of shiny glass ever promoted by OPTUS, and forget about the customer service from ZTE it is non existent. Only capable of running Android 7. When asked about other Android releases was totally ignored.
Okay, so this phone fkn sucks. Constant beeps interrupt calls, the screen won't stop softly flashing, and I can't close tabs by touching X - I have to close ALL the tabs and then reopen the one I actually wanted. Also autocorrect won't friggen autocorrect.

Did I buy a refurbished Z? I have to hold the phone upside to hear the person I'm speaking to and what's worse is that even at full volume I can't even hear them that well! After I cannot find the "ZTE axon 7 earbuds" I went to their site asking where to buy them and how much they were. First they asked 3 questions, 1. So If someone ever came up to me requesting a good electronics co. ZTE would be the last thing I would say, do not trust them, they don't care about their customers. I called customer service because I was a new cell phone user and I was looking for work and items for purchase on Craigslist and couldn't figure out why it wasn't going through the email I wanted to use.
The problem turned out that I wasn't clicking on the correct line figured it out on my own. I was told that the problem was with my Yahoo email account and not my phone and would have to contact Yahoo. They told me to email Yahoo customer service for email problem which it was not I wanted to use my phone to do it because I like to have someone on the line for tech support while I'm solving problem. I asked for a phone number and they told me Yahoo does not have phone support I said hey could you double check because I like to have a tech person to go through it with me while I'm on the line with them so she tells me to hold on.
She gets me a number of a scammer who tells me that. Like a fool I let them have access to PC If customer service would have told me the only phone tech support is a scam, I would have understood. The asked if they could look in my account to see what's wrong and said ok because it was the NUMBER customer service gave me. They told me Russians have taken over my hard drive and it would take bucks to have it removed. I am glad I didn't fall for that crap but I should have never given them access to my drive and even after running Mal ware detectors still running slower than before.

Ars Technica. Retrieved 8 October Purism actually couldn't find an open provider for the cellular modem, so the best it could do was isolate it from the rest of the system in an M.
The cellular modem is arguably the most complex part of a mobile phone. The modem is the component that has to implement all the familiar protocols you would associate with a phone like 2G, 3G, 4G and the upcoming 5G. It does so by running its own proprietary black box operating system. The cellular modem is also covered by thousands of patents held by hundreds of patent owners. Non-free software not only has access to the data flowing to and from the SoC, but also has the ability to modify it. Because this modem operating system is a propreitary black box, we have no idea what this component does or what kind of vulnerabilities it has The situation is further complicated by the fact that during our research into cellular modems, we realized that there are only a handful of silicon vendors in the world that make these chipsets and nearly all of them integrate their model with the SoC on the same bus.
In addition, you historically need to acquire a license to run the proprietary firmware to power the modem on SoCs.. There are a number of these modem modules available in different form factors with various available options in speed, bands, etc.
