� ZTE Locker (ZTE screen saver).
� New package of safety of Google.
� Improvement of notifications.
� Improvement of the translations.

EDIT : i compared the B08 and B09 file
B08 last modified on 25.11.2016 2.355.208kb
B09 last modified on 09.12.2016(?) 2.353.116kb

So B09 is modified later and a little smaller in size
Is it the same ? I dont know...

EDIT 2 : Someone on Androidhilfe has tested it already after seeing this thread :
*still 6.0.1
*same securitypatch date
*same baseband , kernel

For me though it stays strange that on an official website like ZTE promotes a B09....if there were no differences, why the effort ??
So let's test this update further and make some conclusions.

I am from Germany and have the B08 installed. I think it should be no problem to use the spanish version, right? Via OTA check I constantly get a network error since few days... :/

No problem to use the spanish version. In fact the spanish one is the only at this time which shows B09.
Hong Kong, Singapore, Sweden show different version of A2017G
You're right that the ZTE network is down. I am waiting, if there comes one, for the OTA.
If so i will pull the link in logcat to share.

Thanks. I updated to b09 and notifications in the lockscreen are still broken. You can't interact with them without unlocking the phone

What do you mean by "broken"?
Update: Only interact is the issue?

You can't interact with them through the quick action buttons, reply, archive, things like that. The problem is that when you expand them, they contract again. It was already there in b08.

I see. I have never tried it in B08 but by now I also updated to B09.

I tried it now and taping notification app was started. May be you though different behavior.

The issue is that if you, for example, receive an email and get the gmail notification, you can't expand the notification and use the reply and archive/delete button because the notification contracts immeddiately to its state without the buttons. You can tap the notification to launch the app, yes, but that's inconvenient if you can do the required action through the button.

I have got it. And was it available in B08? I didn't realize it but it doesn't mean anything because I have never been missing it although it would be useful really.

No, the bug was introduced in b08, the supposed "fix" for the notification bell (that ZTE USA successfully implemented weeks ago with obvious bugs such as this one, but I digress..)

Well since they didn't fix the broken lock screen with BO9 it's not worth updating at all.
We will wait until Android N in couple of weeks released.

Before installing B08 was working absolutely fine with all previous version.
Let's hope being fix with Nougat upgrade next month.
It's quite annoying that bug since it's one of the major feature of Android M having the ability to interact through lock screen for various app Watchapp,Viber,Gmail and so on and with B08 is broken.

Even listening music through lock screen the management of music control is limiting.

Another secret update from ZTE. From what I understand the unannounced updates would logically have minor fixes to the things they messed up in the announced update i.e. B08.

0Kajuna0 · Dec 27, 2016

Dolby still switching off when plugging headphones. It does not look like they fixed anything really. Maybe the problem with delayed notifications? Hard to be 100% sure, but I have not felt like there were delays since the update.

I wouldn't think that it is bug. It is the appropriate way in case of a phone is made for audiophiles.

Why do you think that? Do audiophiles not want their phone to remember their preferred settings?

Or is Dolby bad for a proper audio experience? In that case, should not we be free to choose whether we want it or not?

I don't want to tell others what they want to. But if I was who made this phone I did the same. Dolby is not an audiophile thing. But an audiophile is not always audiophile. Sometime they can turn dolby on due few reasons but mainly non of them will use it for listening music on headphone. I would hate if next time I plug headphone I need to turn it off manually. If I use dolby it has good reason (mostly movie) and usually it is only one time event for specific material.

Otherwise dolby remains turned on in case of speakers and it is also fine. It is reasonable.
So current functionality is quite good for me. Also it would be fine If it was switchable.

obladi64 is right - Dolby is not audiophile thing.

I myself dont like any added software effects on my music. axon7 shines with FLAC's. and if you are audiophile you surely dont want to ruin all those subtile sounds with unecessary software adjustments.
first thing is high quality music, then headphones, then DAC/AMP. I can say I cant listen to 320kbps MP3's as they sound awful with my setup.

anyways everyone's hearing is different, and music taste is different, so you have to choose what is best for you.

B09 ist just a full build that will be used for newly produced devices or as a restore image. Nothing more.
