Can anyone with an Infinity in a 4G area with a 4G SIM confirm to me that they have the LTE/GSM/CDMA AUTO option in network settings as I don't have it on my infinity and so can't connect to 4G and I'm trying to work out if I have a faulty phone or its something else?
[Android General] ajamils:
Is anyone using Infinity with At&T, if so how is the reception and data network? I know that it does not support LTE but does it work with AT&T 4G?

Also, what's the best place to order one in USA?
[Android General] CharlesW123:
Yes I have that option

Hi, yes that option is available for me. Am in the UK and have a Three mobile sim in, there 4G/LTE not enabled yet but the default option under Settings > More.. > Mobile Networks > Network Mode is 'LTE/GSM/WCDMA auto'. My phone's been set to that from the start and I get really good speeds on Three's network, seen around 19mbps down, 12 mbps up here, so 4G best be good when it arrives or I'll not notice the difference :P

Got mine over the weekend. Phone is very nice and outdoor visibility is good compared to my previous phones.

Tablet is ok, but seems a bit delayed when typing on the on-screen keyboard. Tablet is a uncomfortable to hold at times due to the sharp edge.

Is it posible to connect a dock keyboard(for example asus transformer pad tf300t) to Asus Padfone Infinity with adapter, or usb cable?

update

Hello! As a small update, I have noticed that the apps only disappear only when you switch from phone to tablet which most likely means that they crash and have to be restarted.

As for the delayed notifications i have no update.

But I have a new problem:

the ringtone volume is very very VERY low. I have pushed the volume up key, turned everything up to maximum, selected a different loud mp3 ringtone and the ringtone is now a bit louder but still very very quiet.

Can someone please advise? Compared to an iPhone or my old Galaxy Note 2 this padfone is 20% the volume of the old ones. Is there a hidden volume update? Does any body else encounter this issue?

However, when playing youtube videos for example the speaker (as it is the same speaker used for youtube sound and phone ringtone) is much louder.

Please help. :crying:
[Android General] rideti.me:
Spinstorm I got my EE 4G Sim on a Padfone on 26th May and have been using it fine. In the past few days I have now noticed it won't connect to 4G at all. Only since last weekend at the earliest. I now only have the GSM/WCDMA AUTO option with no option for LTE. It appears something has changed or updated.

UPDATE

I haven't identified or solved the base problem, as a work around I downloaded an App called "LTE Settings" this allowed me to select LTE/GSM/WCDMA Auto. I now have my 4G back.

This app actually just loads the Android settings screen, this can be accessed by typing *#*#4636#*#* into the dialer.

You may try to convert to .ogg your favorite melody using this site http://media.io/
[Android General] radibg2:
When you play the music on you laptop is it normal sound? If it isn't normal the problem is from the file. Try to set another melody for ringtone, if is ok the problem is from the song. And also try to convert the song to mp3.
[Android General] bl0wf1sh:
Same problem here. I am actually happy with using GoSMS, but unfortunately it "times out" after a while. Nothing I have tried so far works, including setting it as the default SMS program for sending and receiving :( The only upside is that I can see unread message count on the lock screen. I am still thinking whether to go back to stock SMS or not.
[Android General] Dr. Locker:
Hi there, I am very excited about my new. Padfone Infinity. Especially about the easy way to root.

What I'm still searching for, is a flash able recovery, but I'm still unsuccessful finding something working.

Does anybody here have an idea or hint?

Hello! I have selected a very loud track and set it as an MP3 track. The Asus default ringtones are very very very quiet. the MP3 ringtone is a little louder but still very low on volume.

Is there a hidden volume settings? In the Asus Sound Wizard or something?

I have pushed the volume up key, opened the drop down menu and selected maximum for everything. Each one of the four ring volumes is turned to max. To get an idea, the phone rings at the max like a HTC One or a Galaxy Note 2 at 20%.

The problem is not with the file!!! I am sure!! Listened to it in my car, on headphones, on computer.

Please help!

Me too. I love the new keyboard. Hope it has adjusted the camera also because photos taken in bright light ar way to bright.
[Android General] wuuu:
I've updated it. Mine is WW_A80-10.6.8.12-0. But Framaroot can't root the PadFone Infinity now.
[Android General] musz:
previously u already root using framaroot? hv u use ota rootkeeper to backup b4 u install the new update?
[Android General] NZtechfreak:
Updated yesterday to this firmware also, like an idiot I did not make a secure backup of Root using OTA Rootkeeper and temp unroot it using the app, so I lost Root privileges with the update. As reported by others Framaroot failed, however I installed Framaroot 1.42 and rebooted and then tried Framaroot about 4 times using the Gandalf exploit and then Root succeeded again. To those who have not Rooted successfully with Framaroot how many times have you tried, and was it on the latest Framaroot? My experience suggests persistence helps.
[Android General] wuuu:
I have modified some system files. So I flash a new rom named "WW_A80-10.6.9.26-0-ota-user" with the size 0.99GB.

Confirming that the new firmware can't be rooted, I decided to flash back "WW_A80-10.6.8.12-0-ota-user" in recovery mode.

Althought flashing is all right, It holds on the boot animation and can't boot to system.

Just reflash "WW_A80-10.6.9.26-0-ota-user", it works well, without root.
[Android General] NZtechfreak:
How many times did you try?

As mentioned above I was able to successfully Root the latest TW firmware using Framaroot, however it took multiple attempts.
[Android General] wuuu:
more than 20 times now with framaroot 1.4.2. It always shows "Failed: Try another exploit if available". Aragorn or Gandalf helps nothing.

I am using WW firmware.
[Android General] NZtechfreak:
Interesting, seems the WW and CHT firmwares are materially different than the TW firmwares in that case since neither seem to have been reported as susceptible to Framaroot.
[Android General] indigo888:
I've updated successfully yesterday to 10.6.9.26 TW with root by OTA.Recovered root from backup using VoodooOTA root keeper.No problems.
[Android General] The Jones:
The real question surely is where is the HK SKU upgrade to 10.9.26?
[Android General] cturbos:
I tried umpteen times no success with the new firmware on the INFINITY.:confused::confused:
[Android General] wuuu:
I've rooted the lastest ww version with a PC software from www.mgyun.com.

Even the CUCC version that can't be rooted yet can be rooted with this root master. But it uses it's own su file and acts like a rogue that does too much more than supersu (Chinese-style. I hate this though I am Chinese.)

Finally I successfully changed it to Supersu. All works perfectly now.
[Android General] NZtechfreak:
It looks like its a fairly trivial thing to change to another SKU, simply flashing another versions firmware through recovery (all without Root). User at Padfoneclub did that and then Rooted his on the TW firmware. Myself would probably rather do that than use some method that seems to be "going rogue" and doing a lot more than just managing SU permissions requests...
[Android General] xmoo:
Any words about release date in Netherlands or USA?
[Android General] Dr. Locker:
Till now I've heard only about Italy and Swizerland, that there the Padfone Infinity can be bought/ordered. And also the already known Asian countries HK &TW.

Loving my infinity so far. One thing I am disappointed about is the inability to read 2.5" usb hard drives. Tried all 3 of my drives, but it almost looks to me that it does not have enough power to fire up the hdd's fully. My Note2 could handle external usb hdd's. Flash drives work fine.

Anyone here had any success with getting the Infinity to access external hdd's?

[Android General] tedbacc:
So does anyone have a reliable source for UK-based Infinity padfones (I'd like to be able to get a Squaretrade warranty) or best to just bite the bullet for ebay from Taiwan and hope customs doesn't add to the cost for duty and VAT ?:(
[Android General] Beretta93:
You want the station or just the phone would do ?
[Android General] tedbacc:
I need both phone and tabby...:fingers-crossed:. Just got an email from Mobicity that they're expecting it in next week, no price till arrives.

I have a feeling if I order it from Taiwan seller, I could get a nasty surprise form Customs when it arrives and no choice but to pay, so basically same price as UK seller, but never ordered anything this big $$$ from CH before....:confused:
[Android General] Beretta93:
OK but just so you know, there is this UK ebay reseller which has stocks but only the phone. I ordered mine for 409 £ and got it one week after. The name is e_cell, I don't know if it rings any bell for you...

Random reboots on Infinity?

And I do have another question... on my Padfone 2, even with latest update, and also on Guerilla Rom, if I disable wifi in settings or via Smart Profiles switcher, I still get (and have always had from day 1) some random reboots. Perhaps more stable if Mobile data is on at the time, but I haven't worked out the pattern yet, and it might be an application I suppose. But it seems like the known issue others see as well. Happens regardless of dock.

Since it's very similar hardware, has anyone noticed similar issue with Infinity?

Thanks in advance,

Ted
[Android General] tedbacc:
Thanks, I online chatted and then called them and unfortunately both times their customer service were no help at all, stating that they don't have either 64gb version nor tablet station and to keep checking their listings. Did not answer repeated question (several times) if I could order or reserve the items I actually want. Just kept repeating that they don't have what I want and to keep checking back listings until it comes up.:crying:

So still looking.... any advice or referrals appreciated...
[Android General] NZtechfreak:

Screen problem

Since I updated to the latest HK fimware 10.6.9.26-0, my touchscreen has been acting up intermittently. Twitches sometimes, doesnt allow me to push the correct numbers from the lockscreen to let me in. Pressing the power button briefly to switch the screen off & on again clears the problem.

Anybody else have this issue?

Yes, I made the same experience.

Hopefully waiting for the next update

Padfone Infinity Problems

Hello guys!

I think I will post the first real Padfone Infinity Problem: :rolleyes:

Phone is OK, everything works like a charm, but for two days time all my calls go directly to voice mail. The caller is being said that the phone is turned off (and it isn't) and the call goes to voicemail.

Unfortunately I do not know why this is happening. I have changed the Nano Sim but no luck, either.

But the internet connection is stable, no problem there, and SMS works. You call me, you go to voice mail. You text me (internet or SMS) and I receive it.

And also when I wanna call somebody I wait a little bit more before I hear the ringing sound.

Please advise as I am very sad to have problems with a 1200 euros phone.

Thank you!

Will be waiting for your advices.

Kind regards!
[Android General] tedbacc:
Hmm, well every time I've come across a case like this it's never been the phone at fault, sometimes its your provider(since number of rings before goto voicemail is in their service configuration) sometimes its because your phone's ringtone is corrupt and doesn't play or just hangs the phone.

I'd suggest you start by looking at Settings->Sound->Phone Ringtone, if you then touch your existing ringtone you should hear it play. If yes, skip to next paragraph - If it doesn't then that's where the problem is. Do any other ringtones play? If not, then check your Volumes right above that. all should be maxed to the right. If they still don't the phone memory is likely corrupted, and I doubt there's anything you can do other than a Backup & Reset/Factory wipe from the Settings menu. .but you will lose all your settings. However, phone should be back to normal.

- If it does play, the only real test is to borrow another sim card (maybe a friends?) for 5 minutes and see if it rings with that one. If yes, reinstall your sim and call your provider and scream at them as they messed something up on your service. If Not, then you may have an issue with the phone, and might need some help making sure the entire configuration is correct-which probably means you need to do a factory Wipe from the Backup & Reset option in that same Settings menu. You will lose all your settings of course, but its the only way to prove that its the provider and not your phone.

If that full reset still doesn't fix the problem, then I'd guess its time to dig out the warranty....:crying:
[Android General] SAman1:
Your " divert all calls" is most likely active. Go to Network Provider settings and put it off.

problem update

Hello!

Thank you for your feedback.

More updates regarding the problem: been into the "cell standby" option and it said:

40% out of the day with no signal.

I have not encountered this problem until two days ago.

I have been continuously calling myself from my other phone while driving. Phone has been "off" and call went to voice mail until I got out of the neighbourhood. My guess is that there is some kind of a problem with the voice service, as the internet and SMS is working fine. Internet is in 4G always.

I would like to know if is it possible to receive internet signal but no voice signal? as they are in different bands of MHz?

After I got out of the area I live in the phone never missed a call. Not once has in been "off".

Do you think it's Vodafone's who is having issues?

Am really nervous to try another SIM from a friend who has the service at a different carrier.

Any opinions?

thank you!

Kind regards!
[Android General] dvhttn:
Ring them and find out!!!!!!!

Why are you nervous? Just change the SIMs over and test the phone out.

What do you think will happen? At the worst you'll find that your phone is locked and his SIM won't work.
[Android General] SAman1:
Using a sim from another carrier can't cause any harm. Worst case it just won't work with the other sim. But unless you got your phone from a local carrier, it won't be network locked and should work with any carrier.

Did you check that your network mode (under network settings) is set to GSM/WCDMA mode? This is usually the most compatible mode. 4G/LTE coverage may not be as widespread yet.
[Android General] tedbacc:
Exactly my point.... wouldn't be the first time a cell tower went bad. I had same problem in one location recently. Took them 3 weeks to repair it - I changed networks. Another good reason to buy a phone and not a contract :p

So if phone receives calls fine outside your neighbourhood, that's probably the cause- best way to confirm is try calling someone else on same network in your neighborhood from a landline-you should get same result..... then call and yell at your carrier.

Hello everyone

I have been using this phone for a month now and everything was fine until the latest update which is RU-10.6-29-0. After the phone updated i docked it into station but the station didn't worked. I tried everything expect rooting (charging both to full, wipe data, factory reset) but the station is still unusable. Also when docked the phone is still running ( i can see the phone's screen still running) and when i try to push power button on tablet for a long time the red light blinks but nothing happens. Any idea how to solve this or should i just go for the warranty?

And i wonder if i download the original rom from the asus website (by the way the RU version link is broken) and try to install it would it work because it says the downgrade is not possible and i think somehow the tablet dock is bricked.

Thanks
[Android General] JMM2009:
Try to power down the phone while docked by holding the power button on the station. then boot the phone again while docked, it worked for me when I had the same problem

While docked Sent from my PadFone Infinity using xda premium
[Android General] denizerdi:
I tried but noting happens. Also when the phone is closed and docked the phone responds and opens itself but not the dock again. I think i should just go to service. The bad thing is i live in a country where i cant properly speak its language:(
[Android General] NZtechfreak:
In relation to the earlier question about 4G and voice calling connection: yes, it is possible to have one and not the other. In New Zealand on Vodafone all calls fall back to 3G, voice over 4G is not yet available (no idea if this is universally true of all networks), so if there is little 3G coverage in your area you could quite happily have lovely 4G data speeds and failing voice calling.
[Android General] bl0wf1sh:
Updating on my own problem with GoSMS not popping up... I added it to the "keep alive" list of applications under Asus custom settings, now it works fine :)

Also: framaroot roots the next-to-latest update on WW. Kept root during the last minor update to root back-up & temp un-root via rootkeeper.

No issues for me. Able to read my 1TB 2.5" USB3.0 Hitachi Touro external hdd ( formatted in NTFS ) via some cheap USB OTG cable.
[Android General] SAman1:
That's good news, thanks for confirming. I'll reformat one of my drives and try again. Meanwhile my touchscreen problem is getting worse. It randomly starts activating things by itself as if I'm touching the screen although I'm not. I frequently have to push the power button to switch the display off and on inorder to stop it acting up. I just hope its not a hardware problem with the digitiser, seems like only 2 of us here have this problem.
[Android General] FuNKySoULyBrO:
Sorry to break this news to u, but ur "phantom" touches problem could indeed be a hardware issue on the digitiser. There's a few users that had this issue as well, as reported in this thread - http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/android-user-group-323/asus-padfone-infinity-4223291-11.html

While I believe this PFI does have a good concept on the tablet cum phone 2in1, Asus really needs to buck up on the QC problems...... I myself encountered a lemon set right out of the box.... A faulty earjack whereby right channel is defective...... Fortunately, in Singapore, there's an official Asus service center which we can bring it to to get it fixed ( normally within a day ).

But of course, I'll still prefer to not even need a trip down to the service center though, if they can buck up on such QC issues....

Nevertheless, I currently don't find any major issues on my "fixed" PFI.... only a minor qualm that the speaker of the phone is much softer than my previous phones....
[Android General] SAman1:
I checked out the thread on H/W Zone, thanks. It doesn't seem like the problem is proved with any certainty to be hardware based, so I'm still hopeful it will be resolved by a firmware upgrade. I bought it in HK, becauses it will in all likelyhood not be released in my country so the possibility of me returning it for warranty repair are extremely slim :crying:

I'm also wondering if a screen protector may perhaps solve the problem, by removing static which I suspect is causing the phantom touch. I've ordered some covers incl screen protectors, but it may take upto 6 weeks to arrive. Will wait and see, but hopefully that latest OTA upgrade arrives sooner.

Padfone BIG problems

Hello again guys! With sad sad news I write you back.

My 1 month old Padfone Infinity is broken. Don't get me wrong, I did not break it. It broke by itself.

The phone started selecting by itself things depending in which app you are in. If you are in FB it selects the notifications button or it fast scrolls up, in gallery it zooms, in whatsapp it opens notification settings, etc. Depending on the app the phone thinks it is touched when in fact it isn't/

Please now that no harm has been done to this phone: not dropped, has not made contact with liquids, very very well treated, etc.

The conclusion is that (I think) the touch screen has a problem and it thinks it is being touched in the upper side of the screen and reacts accordingly.

The phone is UNUSABLE.

Kindly ask for your advise as the phone has been bought from eBay Taiwan and the after contacting the seller I have been told to send it back to him and he will service it at Asus. But the think is that I will have to remain without a phone, and will have to pay import taxes again when the phone returns without the shipping fees in question. And the import taxes were 200 euros the first time I got it.

Please advise as it has been the most expensive phone I have every bought and it is by far the biggest disappointment. :crying:
[Android General] SAman1:
Don't despair, I have/had the same problem but managed to stabilise the touchscreen as follows:

-Power the phone down, then hold the power button and volume down buttons in to boot into recovery.

-select clear cache, followed by calibrate touchscreen (it will autocalibrate)

- reboot (no need to factory reset!)

The phantom key press problem should be gone. Mine had been stable for 48hrs now ;)
