Disappointed with my ZUK Z1 - Zuk Z1 General

I've been the owner of 2 ZUK Z1 during 1 month, running Cyanogen 12. Problems with Network connection, GPS and hands free through Bluetooth. since I usemy phone with dual Sim for work&personal, I need it working 100%. Because of those issues, I flashed CM13 ( not working after flashing gapps) and finally resurrection Remix ROM. It didn't solve the Bluetooth problem and battery drains quite fast and phone is too warm. I even flashed last update (June 18th) but heat and battery problem still the same(only solved rooting use with June 16th version)
I came from a Jiayu S3 and I've just confirmed I didn't take a good decision buying those ZUK Z1. I'll have to look for aHuawei or Xiaomi mobile phone or is anybody happy with ZUK Z1? running which ROM?
Thank you for your help

If a rom isn't working for you it's not directly the Roms fault... I believe it's yours
Using nuclear and I'm totally happy. But none of those cm13 based Roms will fulfill your needs because dual sim functionality isn't fully implemented.

I have never had any of those problems in 6 months of using my ZUK, maybe you just got a bad one. Did you try contacting your seller for replacement?

I have mine since October and so far it works pretty well. I have a sot of 5 hours and still have enough energy left to easily reach the end of the day. GPS works fine for me I use it every week. No overheating issues so far although the phone can get really hot if the sun shines directly on it for a longer period but no problems when I use it or when it's in my pocket.
The only things that I dislike is the wide of the phone it's just to big for me (I have small hands). The camera is not that great with low light conditions, and still no marshmallow update, that's it

Love it despite its weaknesses
I ordered my Zuk Z1 back in October 2015. I use my phone with a professional sim in addition to my personal one which handles the 4G connection (note: both sim cards cannot offer data/4G). I have been running CyanogenOS exclusively because of Good Technology (incompatible with rooted devices). I do not concur with your opinion: COS 12.1-YOG4PAS9IG is rather mature. The network connectivity issues you are facing may be due to the lack of LTE band 20 (800MHz) support. I do not face any severe issues. I would certainly appreciate if it switched from 3G+ back to 4G faster than it does. WiFi 2.4 and 5.0Ghz perfectly work without any drop. GPS does work too, though it may take time to synchronize on rare instances. Bluetooth audio (streaming music to headphones, speakers) works perfectly although I cannot comment for the hand-free function (microphone) which I refuse to use for safety reasons. Battery runtimes are really great if you are not maxing out the brightness level. In my experience, battery drains are not linked with COS but third-party apps. I did not identify any heating issues : temperature is reasonable. Software support is great (about one update every two months) although people complain about COS13/Marshmallow being unavailable (June 2016). Annoying bugs (e.g. broken screen rotation) have been phased out quite quickly. I am really happy with this phone.
Good: nice runtimes (a full day) thank to the 4100mAh battery, the SD801 CPU is fast enough for my use, 3gb of RAM and 64gb storage are generous enough, decent 1080p screen but not best in class (compared with Amoled or Sony Triluminos), CyanogenOS is rather nice compared with stock 5.1.1
Bad: camera is mediocre, hardware button are not properly located and cannot be reversed (I disabled them by enabling the on-screen navigation bar), the fingertip reader sometimes fails to recognize your tips (fairly rare but worth mentioning), no sdcard reader.
Ugly: lack of LTE band 20 (800MHz) support

I'm trying again with my Z1. After original COS (GPS and Bluetooth issue), I tryed last Resurrection ROM (overheating and battery drain), I'm trying Cyanogrnmod. I had some issues with it when flashing Google apps (ARM - 6.0 - nano) and I got continuously error messages from google apps. I did wipe data/Dalvik after installing ROM and GApps but I always got this problem. I flashed everything again and it finally worked ( I don't know if anybody else is experiencing the same). Now running CM13 I will need a few days to evaluate it. For the time being no Overheating/battery drain problem at all. I still have to check deeply GPS/Bluetooth and rest of things. It seems it works properly...
If it fails finally (I hope not...) I will try nuclear ROM as adviced by some colleagues.
I'll keep you posted.
Thank you for your support

You need to understand that battery drain is caused by 3rd apps. Install PowerPRO and set home/work/outside modes. When i don't play any game then my zuk keeps alive for 2-3 days easy

Just flash gapps immediately after cm13 before restarting

Does cm13 have double tap to wake??

No. It's there in the settings. But it doesn't work

does aroma gapps work with cm13 snapshot?

download Naptime from app store

nuclear rom is pretty nice and battery friendly

Want to buy the SP but ...

My contract is due for renewal and so far I have narrowed it down to the xperia SP , HTC One mini and S4 mini. I was almost about to order the SP but found that some people are having problems with the touchscreen not responding, and wifi quality.
Is the touchscreen issue resolved or is it a lottery if you get a good phone or bad? The sp has all the features I want but its reliability seems questionable.
I hope someone can help.
I have not encounterd the touchscreen issue but i do have wifi problems. Ibelieve that these are software issues and Sony is planning to roll out 4.3 in december...

latest firmware has fixed wifi prob IMO
Wifi quality is just horrible. Im on the newest firmware, but sony didnt fix anything.
I think, theyre not able to fix that, maybe because it could be a hardware issue.
I hope not, but we will see, when Android 4.3 comes out.
I also tried different fixes for rooted sp's, but nothin worked for me.
Im just 3 meters away from the router, but the signal is damn low.
I've had my Xperia SP for about 9 days (bought it on 2013-10-05). My experience:
Touch:
No problem at all with touch. Smooth as butter. Tested *without* a screen protector.
Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi is a mixed thing...
On my dining room, it's weaker than my previous phone.
But in the bedroom, it's stronger than my previous phone.
I found that laying the phone flat on the dining table resulted in severely weakened signal; propping the phone up with, say, a cigarette pack, improves the signal considerably. This leads me to believe that the 'problem' is with the Wi-Fi antennae orientation. In the bedroom, the signal quality is great because the phone's upright relative to the ground (and therefore is roughly parallel with the Wi-Fi Router's antennae).
I haven't had a problem since I turned off 'keep wifi on during sleep' and 'location based wifi'. My issues were with authenitication, never range (which has always been excellent).
I'm think stamina mode conflicts with keep wifi on during sleep. Also, I've got an old router at home, maybe modern routers cope better with suspended wifi connections?

U are wrong. I tried the wifi range with 2 different routers. 1 at my Home, a modern one and one at my parents house, an old one.
Results were the same.
I also disabled stamina mode, but it didnt increase the wifi range/quality.

Just my experiences - most people have complained about range, but it has never been a problem for me, the range is as good, if not better than my other WiFi devices. However sometimes my phone would not connect citing 'authentication problems' many times in a row.
Princeton University is of the opinion that many android builds before 4.2 have a flaw related to 'keep wifi on during sleep' - in essence the phone holds on to the IP address leased to it for too long.
Even though I had partially resolved the connection issues with the well known tweak of the wifi parameters I still had the occasional authentication error and it sometimes took ages to get past the requesting IP address stage of connecting to a router. I haven't had these issues since turning off 'keep wifi on during sleep'. Purely anecdotal evidence and if your issue is range related not applicable.
I decided to get this phone after getting an offer I could not refuse from Tmobile retentions. I will receive the phone tomorrow and will report back once I've tested it out.
An Update:
Phone is very nice looking and fits well in the hand. Slightly smaller than Galaxy S3/S4. It's about the same width as an iphone 4S but longer. A perfect balance between the big 5" phones and the smaller 4" mini versions.
So far the touchscreen worries I had haven't materilised. I think they must have sorted that problem a while back. The wi-fi works fine but signal quality looks weak. The signal shows 2 bars(out of 3) even in the same room as the router and about 1 bar in another room furthest away.
The battery life is pretty amazing for me coming from an Xperia play. I charged it via USB connected to a pc for 7 hours so it had a full charge at 4.00pm Thursday last week. I have not connected it to a charger since then and right now (Monday, 12.47pm) it is showing 36% remaining. Thats nearly 4 days without charging and its still got probably another day to go.
At one point I checked the level before going to sleep and it was showing 92% and when I woke about 6 hours later it was still showing 92%..I reset the phone because I thought the battery meter had crashed..lol. (Note: stamina mode was ON to get this result)
I only used it for 3-5 calls per day and about 20 mins of browsing over the 4 days. Not a lot of usage but that's normal for me so am really happy.
Overall an excellent phone with a superb light bar
not great
iam using xperia sp since last month. the touch screen works great, but i want to mention that sometimes its not working smooth. i have to touch double time or have to touch some hardly. another important issue in my sp is its get overheating while playing games.
normally its not heating while browsing orusing any other application .its get heating only when playing games like deer hunter, temple run, etc. other thinks or ok.
so decide yourself.
I'm planning to buy this too, just wanted to ask, does flashing a custom Rom fix the touchscreen/WiFi issues if there are any?
for wifi issue, there's a fix posted in this forum, involving replacing the wifi config file with the config file of Xperia L, but it needs root access.
however i didn't have this issue, visually the wifi bar displays weak connection, but i don't experience dropped connections any worse than other phones.

it's supposed to heat up whilst playing games, every phone you can get does, cause it uses the GPU more and the CPU stays at higher frequencies more often. That is normal
I checked temps on mine and it doesn't get any higher than about 45 degrees C.
I recommend you root your phone and swithch to Interactive kernel
regards
my sp is good enough...
i use sp for 1 month,never crash with bugs u tell,i think sp is a nice choice for u

Is z3+ overheating problem fixed?

It really bothers me because I am deciding between z3+ and the s6, and I've seen that z3+ gets high temp warnings when using gps for ~30 minutes; and as I'm planning on using gps a lot, that would be a major problem for me. Should I just go with the s6?
Thanks!
It's hard to tell. Some had zero heat issues. Mine rarely gets hot. I use my GPS, lte, you should be good because I heard it's with the previous firmware.
I don't think it's really fixed. I'll be buying a new phone next month maybe.
Z3+ is a good phone. Good specs but the heating issue is really bad for me even after a software update and also changing the set to a new one within a month of purchasing this.
It's still ok if you are a light user.
From my experience:-
1.) Camera is a disappointment. Quality is good but it over heats so quickly and the phone hangs. Not just video but for photo taking as well. For me this is a big issue since I do make use of the camera during functions, events etc. Didn't have any issues with my previous android and iphones.
2.) Notification tone is loud which is a good thing but ringing tone is sinfully soft. Have missed calls many times.
3.) Phone also gets hot when i'm playing games and/or using any other apps (Internet, chatting etc)
Besides these,
The photo and video qualities are good (even though the phone hangs quickly due to quick overheating).
Software experience is smooth and I never experience any lags.
The reason i bought this over a samsung is because:
1.) Z3+ has a micro sd card slot. ( Personally i need it)
2.) I like sony's music quality better than samsung.
But since the overheating is a big problem for me, i'll need to get another phone soon.
Still scouting.
Hope it helps.

Lenovo ZUK z1 is worth or not

Hi,
I have read the comments in amazon and also seen the reviews of Lenovo ZUK Z1 indian unit.
i found there are some issues like :-
-near the home button right side led light is not working properly.
-there are some heating issues in normal usage also.
-it hangs when we are in a call and there is only one way i.e. reboot of device.
-i also found comments saying that there is much difference between indian unit and other unit.
According to specs the hardware is realy good in this price segment but still some comments are saying its not worth to buy it.
Can anyone suggests wether i should go for Lenovo ZUK z1 (indian unit) or not.
I'm fairly happy with my ZUK Z1! I myself dide any of the issues you described, though I did have a major battery issue which I had to get fixed. Much more detail below;
The capacitive buttons' LED lights are just small white dots - they are a bit dim and hard to see outside (I believe that's just the way they are on the device). Regardless they do work fine - though I personally prefer on-screen buttons (navbar), which is an awesome option on Cyanogen which I do use (together with the physical home button). Phone does not feel hot to me (compared to other Android I tried - such as Sony Xperia Z3 Compact and LG G4 which did get confidently hotter). Calls work fine. I have no experience at all with the Indian version, I just had the International version with Cyanogen OS.
Now the problem I did have was that the battery my device came with was screwed up. The phone would turn off at random times and often display inaccurate battery percentages (e.g. fluctuating percentages, or phone displaying 1% for hours). It was really bad, a serious fault. Thankfully I was able to get it fixed for free thru warranty - since I bought it from a local store with 1 year warranty coverage (which was extremely useful for once). They replaced my battery for free and now it works great!
So that being said - there is indeed always a risk of getting a device with a hardware fault. Budget devices like this may be more prone to QA issues but remember that devices of any type or price occasionally have unit faults like that. Also keep in mind that people who have these issues are more likely to shout online than people who don't.
Overall though - I am quite happy with this device. It is fast and snappy, the battery life is indeed very good (lasts me a day and a half of fairly heavy usage) and I also like the fingerprint sensor (though I've had some mixed results with it. My tip is to make sure you initially scan your finger as best and fully as you can). I like the stock+ Android feel with Cyanogen OS (though Cyanogen are taking their sweet time with the Marshmallow update for this device! Though there are good custom ROMs for this device including CM13). I can recommend it.
If you can get it with warranty I say it's really a good choice, especially as a decent warranty can remove your worries. If I'd consider another device it would Xiamoi Redmi 3 Note Pro, which has similar specs but with a newer, better more efficient Snapdragon chip. There is also the ZUK Z2, but I think it's a shame that it has a smaller battery.
It's a decent phone but I wouldn't recommend it. A lot of people have problems with the home button (mine included) the fingerprint scanner doesn't work anymore. Cos has some nice features but the security patch is from last month and still no word on when we receive marshmallow.
My 2 cents, do yourself a favor, forget this phone unless it's free or very good bargain, it was promising at the start, end up as nightmare for most owners, just read some of the thread, every components has some issues, sound, GPS, home bottom, screen, battery, charging, COs patches, you name it.
Yeah, this phone turned out to be a huge disappointment. I faced issues with the original unit as well as the replacement unit. Eventually, I returned it and got myself a refund.
1. Back button led is dimmer than the menu button led. This is really annoying if you're used to the capacitive buttons. Even though it's a mid-range phone, this is not something that I'd expect because Rs.13,500 is still a good amount of money.
2. The phone has very obvious heating issues, especially near the top. Even when idle, temps refused to drop below 37-38 degrees. While charging, it was easily crossing the 50 degree mark. While running apps, it was crossing 60 degrees. My first unit became warm in my pocket for no reason at all.
3. The replacement unit that I received had vibration issues. The vibration kept turning off randomly. It used to turn back on after a few seconds.
4. Adaptive brightness is very slow. It takes a good 3-4 seconds for the ambient sensor to recognize the change in light intensity. I turned it off immediately.
5. Double tap to wake stops working after some time and you have to soft reboot the phone to get it to work again. However, I did not face this issue with the replacement unit.
6. The fingerprint sensor is not really as accurate and fast as the company claims it to be. The fact that you have to press the home button to wake the phone first adds to the time taken to unlock the phone. The fact that the home button isn't exactly soft does not help. More often than not, I had to keep my finger placed on the home button even after waking the device just to get it to recognize my fingerprint.
7. This one's a minor con but the ZUK printed below Lenovo on the back was slanted and not aligned perfectly below Lenovo. The print also appeared cheap and looked like it will come off pretty easily.
Considering the OPO has pretty much the same specs, I don't understand why the ZUK Z1 is plagued with so many issues. Also, in all the online reviews, the international version of the phone didn't seem to have all the above issues. Kinda makes me wonder if Lenovo has cut corners for the Indian launch of the phone, hence, the lower than the international version pricing.
Honestly, at this point, there's not much point in buying this phone. There are better and cheaper options available. Not to mention, some great phones will be coming out in the next couple of months, so it'd be better if you're willing to wait.

Mine is also showing up as a xperia z 1
very happy with this phone. after a day's work, i still have about 50% of juice. I've had xiaomi, LG, Xperia in the past. this phone just rocks.
using zuk z1
wouldnt recommend. breaking home button and missing software support and updates ... if my homebutton is broken i will swap it at amazon und buy another phone.
anybody solved the problem of failed recognition (zuk z1 = sony xperia z1). is it possible that that is the reason for google play store some apps show me that my device is not supported?

I might buy a MI5, looking for some answers/advice

Hey folks, I am Canadian that is looking to possibly import an MI5 but I figured I should find out a few things from you all that have been living with these phones for a while before buying.
Are there any hardware or software issues with the MI5 that I should be concerned about? I have a sony z3 compact right now and it's been infamous for vibration motors, headphone jacks, and screen failures. It also has no AOSP based daily drivers.
Development seems to be pretty active here, is that actually true? Are developers dropping off from this phone or is there still a steady amount of work being done?
From the lurking I've done it seems that unlocking, rooting and ROM installing is pretty easy. Are there any permanent dangers to doing these hacks (above and beyond the usual)?
I'm aware there is some camera quality issues on non-stock ROMs, is the camera still usable? How is the battery on custom ROMs?
Is there anything preventing this phone from being a daily driver when using a custom ROM like RR? Does the fingerprint sensor work on AOSP ROMs?
I am also aware of the radio bands the MI5 supports, I should be fine with that as my imported Z3 Compact has the same bands (as far as I can tell).
Edit: I was also wondering if the IR blaster works on custom ROMs!
Thanks for reading, answering and putting up with my ignorance. I'm just looking for some answers I couldn't find on this forum when I was searching yesterday.
Community is happy to help
1. Hardware wise you have to keep in mind the phone is fairly fragile. Low light performance of the camera is a bit poor. Audio out of the headphone jack isn't great on stock MIUI, but that can be fixed with Viper4Arise or any AOSP ROM. RAM management and general performance on MIUI is "ok" - but the phone is blazing fast on AOSP + CAF. There is no component that is prone to fail that I am aware of, but I have read of the occasional hard-brick triggered from nothing more than a reboot on custom ROMs - this can be solved by flashing stock ROM in EDL mode.
2. There seems to be a steady amount of development going on - we just got the drop on about 7 new ROMs in the last month. However, there are and have been developers leaving in favour of the One Plus 3, and development is only moderate compared to its forum.
3. It's fairly easy, but a bit frustrating getting the bootloader unlock from Xiaomi, as it usually takes about 5 days for the unlock to be approved and then 5 more days for it to actually work. There is also a possible driver issue on Windows which can prevent unlocking, so if you're stuck that's probably the case. Except for the above mentioned possible hard-brick there are no additional dangers, and dare I say less so than other phones I worked on.
4. The camera is usable on custom ROMs but considerably worse. Mainly there is a lot more noise in the photos, but detail remains high. Video recording seems to be broken on most AOSP ROMs, but alternative camera apps are apparently a work around. In my experience battery life is better on custom ROMs as they have functional Doze on Nougat, but not by much.
5. Fingerprint sensor works fine on custom ROMs, even better if you consider that you can wake + unlock your phone without pressing the button. There have been reports of some people experiencing slow fingerprint scanning on custom ROMs (3-4s). I use a custom ROM as my DD and I don't have any major issues except video recording that I haven't yet bothered to address.
I hope that this information finds you well. The Mi5 isn't perfect, but I'd be damned to say that a better phone exists for $200. The camera, battery life, performance, screen, audio, and design is good and there really isn't much to worry about.

Thank you so much for the detailed response! Greatly appreciated!
This all is reminding me of the fun I had with AOSP ROMs back on my Galaxy SIII, happy thoughts! (I've been stuck in Sony's software for too long!)
What is CAF?
Is the IR blaster working in AOSP-based ROMs?

It's a pleasure
Well then it's good to know they run brilliantly on the Mi5 (buttery smooth UI, and I get good numbers on benchmarks as testament, see attached pics).
CAF is short for Code Aurora Forums, a collection of companies that merge their updated driver code with the vanilla AOSP code from Google.
I don't know if the IR blaster works on AOSP as I currently don't have any devices on me to test it with. I could try this weekend when I get home.
Edit: I've since arrived home and can confirm the IR blaster works on AOSP. I used Anymote if you're interested.

Android 10 in sweden!

Yesterday(9/16-2020) my phone got the android 10 update. How is it in the europe? Any updates in any country?
In the offic Forum the rollout seems to be in Italia, Sweden, Belgium, Germany, Romania, Poland... right now.
But it seems only the retail one but not the Amazon Alexa one.....
I have the reteu version of motorola one zoom. So I don't think that it's only the retail
Reteu is the "normal" parker/zoom version.
(AMZEU)Reteu with release channel AMZEU is the Amazon Alexa Motorola one Zoom Edition.
Just got it in the UK on my amazon alexa device
Motorola One Zoom unusable after Android 10 update
Hi,
I got the official upgrade to Android 10 for the Motorola One Zoom yesterday (Sep. 16, 2020) as well.
I am based out of Switzerland.
For the time being, I strongly recommend NOT to install it.
It broke several things, which makes the phone virtually unusable.
1. Several apps crash almost immediately after starting, including basic functions like Phone (yes, the phone itself, so you cannot place or receive calls), Contacts, parts of the Settings function, Google Play or WhatsApp.
2. Battery drain in stand-by is now between 5 and 10% per 10 minutes. In a couple of hours may the phone is dead. There is only a minor improvement in switching to battery saving mode. If you actually use the phone it drains much faster
3. Bluetooth disconnects every 5-10 seconds. You cannot use any BT earpiece, headset or hands free. BTW, this means the Swiss COVID app, which uses BT to track possible contacts with infected people, is not working either
I had to bring back from the dead an old phone and put it back to work, as the One Zoom is unusable for the time being.
Again, I hope other One Zoom owners will be luckier with Android 10.
Please share you experience....
PS. My One Zoom is an XT-2010-1 and Android 10 build number is QPH30.29-Q3-28-13

I am based out of Switzerland.
For the time being, I strongly recommend NOT to install it.
PS. My One Zoom is an XT-2010-1 and Android 10 build number is QPH30.29-Q3-28-13

I received Android 10 in Czech Republic yesterday. It is as stable as it was with Android 9. Battery life is excellent. I don't experience and noticeable standby drain. There is definitely something wrong about your device. I hope they will resolve it with another update.
Overall my Moto Zoom is the most stable phone I've ever had. I believe there are many satisfied used of this phone. But people usually don't post positive feedback.
If anyone reading this from Moto, thank you for this phone. I really enjoy it. I don't even care it was on Android 9 until yesterday as long as it worked fast and stable. Newest software is not always the best software.

I confirm it's a great phone, and I was a delighted Moto One Zoom owner and user, up until the Android 10 upgrade yesterday.
The experience has shaken my enthusiasm and confidence quite a bit, and as a further confirmation that Murphy's Law is still valid, this happened when I most needed the phone to work for professional reasons and caused major disruptions in my activities.
Separately, can you please share your model number and build as well?
It may help me focus my efforts to get the issue fixed with Motorola support.
Thx
Had the update, UK Amazon Alexa edition. So far no probs, no crashes or anything bad to report.
Sadly still no WiFi calling, which is pretty pathetic.
Working good till now
Hi there,
Yesterday I have received the Android 10, I have the Amazon Alexa version, bought from Amazon Italy. Till now is working good, just a little hotter when fast charging.

It broke several things, which makes the phone virtually unusable.
1. Several apps crash almost immediately after starting, including basic functions like phone (yes, the phone itself, so you cannot place or receive calls), contacts, parts of the settings function, google play or whatsapp.
2. Battery drain in stand-by is now between 5 and 10% per 10 minutes. In a couple of hours may the phone is dead. There is only a minor improvement in switching to battery saving mode. If you actually use the phone it drains much faster
3. Bluetooth disconnects every 5-10 seconds. You cannot use any bt earpiece, headset or hands free. Btw, this means the swiss covid app, which uses bt to track possible contacts with infected people, is not working either
i had to bring back from the dead an old phone and put it back to work, as the one zoom is unusable for the time being.
Again, i hope other one zoom owners will be luckier with android 10.
Please share you experience....

昨天早上接收到推送,安卓9升级安卓10,还很兴奋。
升级完成后可以上网,但是无法接打电话,朋友用微信告诉我才知道。
我使用的是中国电信,支持cdma,4g,lte,现在感觉很闹心。
请问你的问题解决了吗?
