Look at his charts more in detail. His phone was mostly idle.

---------- Post added at 09:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:17 AM ----------

20 - 24 h with 4.5 h - 5 h screen-on time seems pretty normal for ZF5, if the device is actually used and not kept for decoration. ZF5 is in actual life not that much different from other lower to medium ranges phones. But it comes with a much better performance as compared to any other phone of it's price, at least which I know of.
[Zenfone 5 General] rht_sg:
ur English is pretty fine btw :good:

i think what u said explains a lot - since it shows only apps, thats why Android OS/System or cell standby are not shown there.

for Go launcher, in the power management, it is shown that it wakes up the device a lot, but for some reason, does not take much battery.

i have the wakelock detector, but i haven't rooted yet, so cant use it. but am not sure if i can find time specific information on which app kept the cpu awake at a particular time?

i think WD just gives overall information

ur battery backup seems good,

but if u do get 5 hrs or more of screen on, do tell us (with some screenshots :D )

u r right, i am using the phone more as a media/video player than a smartphone !! :p

which is why it can last one day easily, but i was expecting it to last 2 days with this.

but just the big high res screen takes a lot of energy to run
[Zenfone 5 General] peter-k:
PS: Sorry, I can not attach pics at the moment. Total usage time was 1 d 3 h and total screen-on time was 5 h.

That's at 933 MHz, Antutu performance is 17,700. This number is on the better side of many Snapdragon equipped low - medium range devices. In practical usage ZF5 @ 933 is not a too smooth show in all situations, but easily do-able.

Main usage was internet via mixed mobile data or wifi connection. Data or wifi connection was enabled may be abt 40 - 50 % of the time. Viber, Skype and other communication apps where used a number of times. One app was installed, and the device rebooted. I also listened to some music (for an h or so) over the speaker. So the phone was pretty well used.

Earlier I found I thread where they mentioned how to root the zenfone 5 by installing an app "root zenfone". I installed the app but when I used it the app it failed to root my phone. Is the rooting for jelly bean or KitKat because I upgraded my phone to KitKat.

Is there any other method to do the rooting??

Thanks ?

when doing this, do u backup the stock SystemUI.apk? if no then: 1) ask someone to send you the stock SystemUI.apk to update via adb then reboot the phone 2) later, remember to backup it any time you make mod on the system

Been trying different methods, but still not successful. It only displays USB.

Whenever I flash from fastboot it shows "remote: flash cmd errors"

Whenever I sideload it says "Failed to write protocol (no status)"

I just bought a Zenfone 6 and want to upgrade its firmware... this is the build number:

Replace internal memory with a 64GB card????

Hi

Is there away to replace the 8Gb internal memory? Most phones just have an micro SD installed inside them, could you take the phone apart and replace it with a bigger micro SD?

I have looked at some videos on the internals of the phone on youtube but can not see where the internal memory is housed.

Any ideas?
[Zenfone 5 General] espanyola:
U could update via system update...
[Zenfone 5 General] Eduardomb:
why don't u just buy a 64gb micro sd and use it ?
[Zenfone 5 General] olliesmith6121:
I have one but not all apps can be moved to it and its an £60 Samsung card which I am guessing read/writes a lot faster than what ever is in there now.

it seems you made something wrong between your recovery and rom. to fix this you should unzip the rom to get the recovery.img then flash it under droidboot with below command:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

then doing sideload again exactly the related rom zip file.

hope this helps.

[Zenfone 5 General] dboypipes:
So I found out how to install updates from asus website on my zenfone w/o using a pc, done right from my phone not using the ota. Here's how I did it:

1. install es file manager from play store

2. Download the update zip files that pertain to your build #, IE. Ww, cn, etc. (Download to your external sdcard)

3. Using es file manager select the update to be installed, click the menu icon and then select extract to, and extract it to your main internal sd card. You should then see a zip file on your internal memory.

4. Reboot phone. Then phone should recognize the update n prompt you to install it. Then just follow the on screen instructions after phone reboots it self update is done. Wala... :)
[Zenfone 5 General] peter-k:
You can as well do the 1. extraction step on your PC, and then move the resulting .zip to your internal SD. The system should detect the ready waiting update. If not try rebooting.

PS: If we remove system apk's we care not allowed to OTA. I don't care anyway, I don't need the "latest" and "greatest", I need stabil and battery saving.

For those who want to get rid of ZenUI, you might be wrong, buddy. Do you ever use a Nexus phone before this?

After 1 week with my Zenfone 5, I think this is the best UI for Android. I sell my Nexus 4 and replaced it with Zenfone 5 because I get boring with stock Android UI. IMO, ZenUI is intuitive, well designed, and practical. I think the dev team at Asus has done a pretty good job here. I don't want to go back to stock Android UI.

But for sure, I need to get rid some of its bundled (bloated) apps with Titanium Backup. After that, I just went fine with this phone. And you know what? The camera is even way better than my Nexus 4 camera.

I have used several Sony phones with AOSP based ROMs, which is close to raw Android. I like the better flexibility and options to modify things as well as the smaller system footprint.

Having said that, again, I didn't say the Asus UI being bad. May be we talk again after you used the phone for a number of months, when you are more familiar with the UI's limitations.

---------- Post added at 09:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:52 AM ----------

Well not everywhere in the world, but still ...

I'm puzzled too. Or ... may be we should not?

Unfortunately for me asuszenfoneblog is blocked in China, my current location.

Cross-post from another conversation:

+ 1. Although I like some aspects of the Asus UI.

I de-installed some of the Asus apps, such as messenger, email, calendar, and replaced them by 3. party apps. Mind you, I returned within a few days. I found the Aus apps being more functional and teething together. I felt I was somewhat deceived bcs of the boring colour schemes used by Asus.

It does have it's limitations, however. Like installing a 3. part launcher is not practical.

So, +1 for a trimmed down, +odexed+, Viper4A + TWRP integrated (not CWM, it's not as reliable). Nothing else.

[Zenfone 5 General] zen_green:
Hello

The factory reset does make your phone as it was ourt of the box.

You can perform this by boot into bootloader, then choose factory reset.

Shut down the phone

Press volume up + on button, until the phone boot.

The phone will boot into bootloader

Then choose factory reset. The phone will reboot, perform the reset, and then reboot.

Here you are, your phone is clear as you just take it out of the box (all data stored in the internal memory will be deleted).

First off it will never restore to the stock firmware version but clean out the latest installed version.

Secondly i did it so many times and have seen that i kept root once have seen that i kept my downclocked cpu settings.

And it still fails to restore the one file i need to be restores (the one stating battery MAH total capacity as thsts currently

locked on 2044 mah out of 3300 hence my battery displayis broken.

The only way to fully get factory settings is to flash the bootloader and then flash the full rom but that will still nog fix
