Another question... after removing weather widget and putting it back, it now has a black background. Anyone know how to get it back the way it should be?

It's like the zenfone 4 here http://images.fonearena.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/zenfone-4-5-6-size-comparison-2.jpg

Unplug phone (zf6) from charger at 8:00 this morning, there is still 25% left now (23:00). Moderate usage during the day.
[Zenfone 5 General] spix123:
The problem doesn't happen every night, but seems to happen regularly enough to be a bit abnormal. Phone was charged to 100% and left all night. After 11 hours it was on 10%, 80% of battery used by Android System and kept awake 9.5 hours. Not the first time this has happened

I don't have tint enabled and its just on the widget. The widget background was completely clear like the zenfone 5 + 6 in the picture but after removing and adding it again its now like the zenfone 4

Help!

Hi guys.

I have a problem. My firmware NOW is 1.14.40.50 WW.

I'm trying to upgrade to 1.17 WW but it always fails, writes that the "SKU is TW".

But I can install the version 1.14.40.50 WW, without having this error.

But, if I try to install an higher firmware, example 1.16 WW, it gives me error "SKU=device TW" "OTA=WW"

I tried to change WW with TW, but nothing! always error.

Can you help me!?
[Zenfone 5 General] spix123:
What update method are you trying
[Zenfone 5 General] TheGodDevil:
I trying with standard method( put file in phone,turn off Wi-Fi and data, push on "upgrade") and ADB sideload.

I can't upgrade.

With standard method, phone give me error.

With ADB sideload method, phone give me SKU error

I don't understand, I have 1.14.40.50WW, why don't change SKU when I install it?

I can reinstall firmware 1.14.40.50WW, ADB sideload install.it.

But with other firmware, example 1.15 WW, phone give me SKU device TW.

Why?
[Zenfone 5 General] Sisqo:
You tried flashing firmware.zip via fastboot?
[Zenfone 5 General] spix123:
Is TW the original SKU of your phone?

Why turn off wifi+data for standard method? What error does it give you here and when does it happen?
[Zenfone 5 General] TheGodDevil:
My original SKU was CUCC.

I change CUCC with WW. But now, my phone have SKU TW. Don't ask me why, I don't know XD.

Standard method give me "status 8" error with other line of error.
[Zenfone 5 General] spix123:
I have no idea, I think your phone is confused ! Is there any chance the file you updated to 1.14.40.50 with was TW renamed to WW? Maybe someone else who knows more than me will help :)

I'm not sure on the differences between TW and WW, I think they are minimal... both should have playstore etc. Perhaps you could try the TW update file without renaming?
[Zenfone 5 General] TheGodDevil:
I tried to change WW in TW, but give me an error.

But if I tried to change TW in WW the phone install TW firmware. I need Google gapps.

With TW firmware I can't use play store and.other Google apps.
[Zenfone 5 General] spix123:
I'm going to assume TW is Taiwan. If yes, then you will have google apps. I don't know what the difference is between TW and WW though, it might be something very minor.
[Zenfone 5 General] DiegoEnzo:
Keep last CUCC version and install google services.

I need Google gapps.

GodDevil did you get my msg about keeping last cucc version and installing google services? Fully stable, all working. No chineese apps.
[Zenfone 5 General] spix123:
Here's the widget problem. On left side is how they should be. On right you can see there is background added to weather, and extra border around What's next. This happens when you delete then put them back.

[IMG="zenwidget"]http://i62.tinypic.com/2aglzxe.jpg[/IMG]
[Zenfone 5 General] TheGodDevil:
If i update at TW 1.17, i have GAPPS?

With CN firmware I haven't it!
[Zenfone 5 General] spix123:
That's because Google is banned in China but its not in Taiwan.

There still must be some difference between the TW and WW, its up to you if you want to risk it. Maybe afterwards your phone will think its WW ... since it thinks its TW now :/
[Zenfone 5 General] Sisqo:
edit build.prop and change ro.build.asus.sku to WW (you need root) or delete the line "assert(getprop("ro.build.asus.sku") == "WW");" from META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script and try again.
[Zenfone 5 General] TheGodDevil:
Thanks for interesting!

But I'm going crazy XD

Asus hasn't even corrected the battery drain issue on 4.4, I would take a long long time before I decide to upgrade to 5 !!

Officially its supposed to come in April, I think.

Are there any owners of the Zenfone 5 LTE version here? (Snapdragon processor and single sim)

did they also see battery drain issue after upgrading to 4.4 ?

i hate to see my battery fall of 10-20% overnight, just while idling !! :mad: :(

V2.21.40.30

Firmware: V2.21.40.30 back to Asus Support Page but only for TW SKU.

Maybe fixed and re-upload?

There's hope the will do the same with WW
[Zenfone 5 General] Eduardomb:
If they fixed why the same number? Dunno...I think nothing have been fixed.
[Zenfone 5 General] piotrekcrash:
@ Eduardomb so why they remove newest version from Support?

I think they fixed some embarrassing bugs and re-upload with the same version to hide this. But it's only my idea:P
[Zenfone 5 General] Eduardomb:
Well..I didn't get any ota update...they removed maybe cause of problems @ asus server. Dunno. But hide what? Ppl can't look and search if they are different. I think this is complete bull****

Thank you for a good advice. But where exactly we need to change those value? I see Multimedia.Headset and Multimedia.IHF and also others. I've changed value in Multimedia.IHF from 24 24 to 35 35 and i got a lot of louder sound for a ringtone.

I also changed a value in Multimedia.Heaspdset from 31 31 to 35 35 but still not be able to confirm if my speaker is really louder.

What i need is just to have a louder sound when i listen music and watch movie/youtube from a speaker.

Thank you.
[Zenfone 5 General] maratagreenchouters:
Change all value at maximum 39 and you can see the sound and then reduce.

If you find a good programmer you can write to the file many more options to customize and control .The options that are not available on your device to other ASUS and vice versa.

[Zenfone 5 General] peter-k:
The versions with Snapdragon certainly have better power economy. These CPUs are optimized for best economy with acceptable performance.

Try adjusting your Atom down to a similar performance - it's around 17,000 Antutu points - and you may be getting also similar economy. In the end law of physics apply to everyone.

However a battery drain of 10 -20 % over night is not acceptable for both JB and KK. What are the conditions, radio on, wifi, 2. sim card on, etc? Mine is JB, typically I get 3 % in 7 h deep sleep.

Zenfone bootloop

Seems like there has been no solution on my problems with boot loop yet. To make things clear here are the problems:

Cannot stay on fastboot mod for a very long time at first I thought it was because of the usb whenever I plug it in, but regardless it still freezes and restarts after 30 seconds or so....

Phone can get to recovery mode and do adb update but here is what happens:

adb devices>>>>>01234567890ABCDEFG

adb usb >>>>>>>>error: closed

adb sideload xxxxx.zip >>>>>>>>>> stops around 20 to 30% and shows failed to write data "protocol fault (no status)

I hope somebody can come up with a solution I would really appreciate it.

Hello guys, 1st message here but i check on you often :)

xda helped me a lot in the past but now i have one problem that seems to insist and i can t get rid of it..

in zenfone 5 with z2560 a501cg, those chinese shops put that weird version 1.98.40 ww with release date 11/2019 but the phone is cn not ww. I managed easily to change 2 of them to 1.14 ww but the 3rd refuses to do so. tried to drop the file renamed and unplag the usb,errors.. tried via adb,same error, this goes like "assert failed get promp greater than int (ro.build.date)"

As i was searching around i saw that maybe it could get away of it if i would delete the line in the code in meta inf/com/google/android/update-script , that didn't work either. I got error, "failed signature verification" etc. Tried to use xposed to bypass the verification, same problem.

Meanwhile, i did everything rooted and nonrooted, did it after double wipe and factory reset, still nothing..

I understand that it pops this error cause official roms release dates are 2014-2015 but i dont understand why it worked in the other 2 zenfones couple of months ago and plenty more as i saw searching around the net.

Any help appreciated as the phone is a friend's wife and we really don't know what to do more.

Sorry for bad english, i hope u get the point.

Thanks for this. I'll try to fork your device tree to build TWRP. Were you able to fix the ""remote:flash_cmds error" in your initial build? I had a user test my initial TWRP build—using shakalaca's device tree—and fastboot throws this error too. Not really sure if the error is related to the bootloader or the img file itself.

ofc this is not a ideal situation but i dont mind s i leave it at home anyway hehe.

you can try disabling it and downloading a different lochscreen from the playstore.

its also not a full reboot its a partial reboot as you dont have to unlock the sum after one of these reboots.

My Zenfone 5 issues solved

Guys it seems I got around my problem. My phone is working perfectly now. What I did was

1) Uninstall/ REinstall all drivers

2) Did a very fast fastboot flash boot/fastboot

3) Did fastboot recovery cwm_philz.img

4) From philz recovery sideload zip file(tried and download all firmware at ASUS website but WW_1.18.40.10 seemed to be the only one to work)

5) Reboot then it loads ASUS logo continously.

By the way thank you guys for your help.

I haven't rooted my phone yet will it have problems with Philz recovery in the future??
[Zenfone 5 General] arulsyah89:
Which firmware do you want to install actually? I just did the "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" then go to adb sideload. All three steps you do is for the old firmware I guess.

There is no problem with the serial number. Its show like that too for me.

About your question

The battery shows the entire battery

The battery by apps, show only APPS...no android OS..so u can see which apps is causing the drain...

The only thing weird is that go launcher only shows at du monitor..pretty weird..it should show @ apps at asus battery stuff

And about the wake with the screen off..yes...it can occur...it is pretty comum...e-mail, facebook, whatsapp, some widget, weather stuff, even de system itself..

You can check the wakelock with wakelock dectetor

I guess this is pretty awesome battery life.
