ZTE n817: How do I install in full detail the magnetic sensor so the GPS Compass

Sun, 06 Apr 2025 12:27:48 -0700

I have a ZTE N817 Quest phone & I'm trying to get the magnetic sensor(s) so that the GPS Compass (as well as any other resources I haven't tried so far) will function; however, I'd need EXTREMELY EXPLICIT instructions on what to do to accomplish this task.

Also, for some reason when I make a call on the phone & wish to end it, I've tried pressing END at the bottom of the screen but that doesn't seem to work. I contacted my customer service area & was told to simply press the lower button on the right side of the phone - why shouldn't the END command on the unit function? Is there some way to enable it?

Another question concerns the sensitivity of the unit: As I'm speaking with the phone against my face, it seems that I'm inadvertently pressing keys so I hear numerous beeps. I was again told to press that same button lightly & that would alleviate the sensitivity. When I tried that, of curse, I disconnected the call so there must be something wrong somewhere!

I'd greatly appreciate someone's help with these issues. Thank you in advance.

ZTE n817: Power button is not jammed but can't turn on phone

Sat, 23 Nov 2019 13:39:26 -0700

The screen turns on when I charge the phone, but pressing the power button doesn't give any response. Before the battery ran out, when getting a text or call and the screen turns on, I can still use the phone even if the power button doesn't respond. But after it died and was recharged full, I need to use the power button to turn the phone on, which is impossible since it won't respond. How can I fix this?
