I know that procedure but I have already installed it directly without following procedure so my question is that how can I reinstall it properly ???? I mean will it be ok if I uninstall exposed framework & then again install it properly??
[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nileshwarale:
if you installed it directly as regular app.. just uninstall should be sufficient...

as xposed is not active until all required files are written..

and it only happens when you follow the procedure correctly..

but.. to be sure... make a back-up of all your data before proceeding..

good luck..

****Enable Deep Sleep****

Excellent standby with 1hr 5min only consumed 1% battery

At 15% battery Do wipe partition cache.

Switch off the phone and charge until notification light became green plus 30 mins extra. Switch ON the phone then when it shows 98% again put back on charge this time in ON condition till green lights up, after that use normally.

You will get Great standby time & backup

Also note when green lights up it indicates NORMAL charge only for FULL charge you need that 30 mins extra.

how good is the battery backup on asus zenfone 6?

Asus zenfone 6 has 3300mAh battery giving 43 hrs battery backup after 7 days of battery charge/discharge cycles from 2%-100%, can you beat this???

Battery doctor installed, firewall installed so no app will connect to internet without explicit permission either on wifi or 3g.

All this while no gaming at all, auto brightness ON, wifi,3g,BT ON. The moment I am out of my wifi home or office zone 3g switch automatically ON & in car BT connected automatically giving seamless music streaming. Used whats app, calls, sms, surfed internet, emails checking manually, auto sync off, locations services off. Once I fully automate the background task & I root the phone that will add many more options to save battery & it will increase further.

How to take screenshots on asus zenfone?

Go to settings > Asus customized settings > Key settings

Select the option "Tap and hold to take screenshot"

Now tap and hold the third (right most)key on the navigation bar (bottom right)to get screenshots. Your screenshots are saved in the folder named screenshots on the internal SD card.

ALTERNATIVELY

You can take screenshots by pressing Power button and Volume down button simultaneously. (this may be bit tricky for some users)

Or manually download the updated firmware of your country from asus support site put that zip file on internal sd card, restart the phone it will detect the update then update it from there.

Doubt regarding rooting after OTA update

Dear All ! Greetings - I bought Asus Zenfone 5 Four days back after romancing for a week nearly. I installed an update as soon as I switched on and then rooted it. Yesterday , One more update notification came and I happily updated. After the update I have realised that root is gone. So I went back and downloaded Root APK and tried rooting. First time , it went to usual procedure ( demo mode and then message saying "Root Successful " ) . On reboot , I could not find Super Su. So I tried with root checker and realised that it has not been rooted.

So I again went and tried rooting with Root APK and now it keeps showing checking. I cannot click any button on the app. I cannot figure out what has happened. Has anybody had any similar experience ? Can somebody throw some light ?

For Reference following is what it shows in my build number. - ASUS_T00J_WW_user_1.16.40.50_201_40731_6736 release keys 010175_201401130121

I Bought the phone from India.

Thanks in advance

Solution - Finally

---------------------

I have figured out what to do if this is the case - Only thing to do is install SuperSU from Play store. And Grant root access. And then run root checker and it will show Root Access
[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgsI9003:
Hi Tom

there is a reason why I have not posted the rooting procedure as its bit complex & certain people will get into soft brick.

On a rooted phone NEVER EVER update without checking in option on the rooting app "Preserve root after update" then only proceed to update further else you will loose root access & you cant get to root it again and u will be stuck in the Asus demo mode.

To disable the demo mode loop follow this

http://www.asus-zenfone.com/2014/05/asus-zenfone-demo-mode-deactivation.html

If this fails for some reason then you will have to flash the stock rom all over again but don't worry your phone is going to be back working normally.
[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgsI9003:
So did that work finally?
[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tom G Alex:
Yes it did

Yes. I had found how to disable the demo mode. But in tradeoff, I gained experience and lost data.

And Yes It worked. I am still trying to figure out how it worked that way. May be I already had root and it just didnt show in root checker. Anyway am back with root access.

Yes now I have noticed the option to preserve the root. Will do so in future. Thanks for the help
[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgsI9003:
Good to note that, can you please post that screenshot of the page where it shows the option to "preserve the root" so I can add to the rooting guide since many people will ignore it & face the same problem in future.

Battery life in Zenfone 5

Hello ! I have been using Zenfone 5 for few days now and I have noticed that it takes a very long time to charge the phone to 100 % . Is that normal ? Has anybody else experienced the same ?
[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgsI9003:
It cant take that long unless the current is too low. R u chagrining with laptop usb cable? If not then get the charger checked. I charge 5% to 100% in 3 hours. Check the voltage in your plug if its low then it will go slow, else get the charger & cable checked.

Otherwise you can try calibrating the battery by draining in to 2% then switch off the phone & charge it until green light up then switch ON the phone & keep it charging another 30 mins repeat this for 5-6 times it will give you better battery life & faster charging.

Tell us by showing a screenshot of battery usage,

do u game a lot?

what all apps are u using?

Set to auto brightness 25%

disable auto sync

use ultra power saving mode (this will disable 3g/wifi when screen off)

Charge battery to 100% then add another 30 mins charge time, then drain to 5% on normal usage & fully charge again to 100% without using the phone. Doing this for 5-7 times will improve you battery condition.

How to update asus zenfone manually when OTA fails

Just to confirm are you rooted? (you don't have to root the phone for updating)

you need to copy that file to internal SD card not micro sd card

Many users from India are reporting this problem. It seems most of you are still stuck at 1.15 version. Asus seems to be having some issue with serving of new updates on OTA since last 2 days as most people are reporting inability to update even after clearing cache. Asus need to sort out this problem, its better users who are facing this problem report the matter to asus support so they can sort this out.

As of now you have 2 options either you wait patiently till ota updates are available or you may download updated version of firmware for SKU WW from Asus website and manually update using this YouTube tutorial available.
