Well there is a batch way - i did not try this yet.. cause i do not see the point at the moment...

well maybe i'm lucky but as for now i do not see any battery problem, it works same or even better than with jb.

Downgrading firmware is not so simple thing, if You think batch root is hard way that downgrading is much much "harder"... but if You manage to downgrade you can just use app to root, that simple :")
[Zenfone 5 General] rht_sg:
:D you are right, downgrading will be even harder.

i will wait for a few days and see if the battery usage settles down. or Asus finds a fix !!:cool:

but i think u might be one of a few who think battery life increased from JB to KK !! good for u ! :good:

most people, at least on this thread, seem to think it has worsened
[Zenfone 5 General] petepaul1228:
Me also, i think the battery is a little better after the kitkat update. You can also improve the battery if you root it and install greenify.

firmware dont exist

Hi guys, i bought a zenfone 5 like a month ago, and i noticed a problem with the camera, in low light it recods in low fps (like 12fps), so i contacted ASUS and they told me to update my firmware, i have 4.4.2 but im not sure wich firmware is installed, i checked and it says 2.99.40.6, but acording to the site, this dont exist.

So my issue is, how can i update my firmware if i dont even know wich one is installed atm, i tried the usual way, extracting copy to internal memory and restart, it feels like the notification will show up, but it just goes away, i mean it blinks once and disapears, so dunno if it even is about the update.

bit of help?

its ww version, allready came like that
[Zenfone 5 General] Malakhay:
heh the main reason that kept me from upgrading to kk was posts on forums and entire internet that aside many bugs some ppl could not get even 6 h of cell life...

but i tried and in my case it's all positive. Since this morning with over 40 minutes of talk, few sms, few games and lots of emails its 82% battery left..

I must say that i have EU version of this phone and it is with only 1 sim slot - maybe that makes a difference.

there is no 2.99 version of firmware of any kind so it should be impossible for you to have one... i don't know how the LTE version in numbered..

Camera Problem New Zenfone 6

Hi guys and gals I have just received my new zenfone 6 today but there is a problem with the camera. I pressed the icon and every time it goes into camera mode but the background is blank and don't show any visuals from the camera and after 5 seconds it shuts down to the home screen and displays 'No Camera Is Found'. It was like this straight out of the box. Also in trying to solve this issue I have been attempting to update the firmware. I tried the 2 latest WW versions which will start to install themselves but then will say error due to the SKU of the update is WW while the device is CN. I did buy this from ali express and when I check the build number it says WW. I have because of this tried the CN version of the update but it will not start to boot itself. Also I tried changing the letters from WW to CN but that is not recognised then.

Any help or insight anybody could offer me would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

double tap feature for asus zenphones

Guys, U might have come around a feature called double tap to sleep and to wake up the phone for android. its basically a default feature for one plus one and also for LG devices. if you double tap the screen anywhere , you wake up the screen to unlock the lockscreen, and also if you tap the widget on home screen , it locks the screen, no use of physical button here.

Is there any way to add this to our zenphone 5? any app for this? or do i have to root ?
[Zenfone 5 General] Eduardomb:
some of 3d mark tests score 3000....other 6000..what test did u make ? Also you don't need root for disabling cpu rendering.
[Zenfone 5 General] zdad:
If I am not mistaken, double tap to wake have something to do with kernel tweaking. CMIIW.

If you want another option to turn the screen on, you can try app like gravity screen etc.

As for turning off with button tap, a lot of app have this feature. Even greenify have widget to sleep+turn screen off.

hi guys, I'm kind new in asus zenfone 6. I just wan't to ask for people who rooted his zen 6. Did you notice some performance decreasing after rooting ? Thanks :D
[Zenfone 5 General] Eduardomb:
I have zen 5 and the perfomance is the same. I rooted to try solving the battery drain.
[Zenfone 5 General] hutjeflut:
there are apps in the play store that claim they can do this on rooted devices however i am convinced they will help drain your battery as the sensors need to stay active at all time for them to register that double tap.

Now on another note for the people with battery display% issues. i yesterday opened up my Phone at 35% after all other options failed and puled my battery (did not shut down first just pulled it when on).

a few min later i closed the Phone up again and to my surprise my battery showed 59% and took forever to drain to 1% (about 12 min per %) after which it instantly shut down unlike the usual hours stuck on 1%.

I also noticed my whatsapp had a problem as it lost all time and date settings which is funny as on my other Phone i could pull the battery whenever i wanted to without it losing time so thats some food for thought aswell.

Then i went to the file ive discussed a few times nog and to my surprise the value in this file was also changed. sadly for the owrse its at 2028 now. but im considering charging with screen off then booting upp and pulling the battery again to see what that does.

So no real fix but some interesting things that happened by just pulling the battery.

Did u have 4.3 before and OTA to 4.4 ? If so do u think ur battery usage worsened due to 4.4 ? or no significant difference

"cell standby" seems to be taking a high percentage of battery, thats why i worried whether the 2nd sim was related to this,

i think i read somewhere that not all modules of xposed will work since this has Intel processor, maybe thats why ur phone became unstable after it.

they just introduced Zenfone 2 at CES yesterday I think and it has Android 5 Lollipop based ZenUI,

so yes they have it, but since many people say battery drain is a problem after updating to 4.4 :( , i wonder how things will be even if they release the A5 version firmware in April.

i would take my time before updating to it !!

[Zenfone 5 General] Eduardomb:
My phone comes with 4.4.2 so I don't know how was the battery before.

The standby really takes lots of battery that is why I used greenify (tried to solve it). I think asus will not be that stupid, like sim2 not there and consumes power, maybe I'm wrong (I use both sims). Some modules really doesn't work @ zenphone. Maybe I can give a try to xposed later but since it isn't compatible with Lolipop I will not waste my time with it now.

On an older dual-sim Nokia keypad phone using two simcards reduced the standbye time a lot, like from 2 full weeks to about 10 days. I would not know why this would be much different for the dualcard Zenfones.
