[Zenfone 5 General] k0m3n9:
I dont know if this ok or not.. what do u think & pls let me know..

As u can see i've tried to keep the screen on by continously using the phone as normal daily usage..

not 100% screen on tho.. (well i still need to take a bath and need to pee too :p )

After done clearing cache at around 15% then charged till full & again clear cache.. this is mine..

Btw i dont think it's totally results from clearing cache itself.. coz mine running greenify, unbounce (xposed module) and YAAB (Yet another auto brightness).. with 3rd party dialer and contact which run in dark theme.. also holo theme (xposed module) which helped me to change most ui into dark holo..

Owh.. forgot to mention that i've also made long phone call (maybe more than half an hour).. probably during the screen off in the screenshot.

Zenfone 5 Wifi Fix??

Hi there! Have you found fix to your wifi? I just realize today that I was also having the same problem with my phone. Wifi goes off at random times. But mine got updated accidentally to "1.18" so I never got the chance to check if it has the same problems on the previous firmware. I thought it was our ISP provider but everything's working fine on my Samsung NOTE and laptop.
[Zenfone 5 General] hristcroixqwerty:
Didn't work.. I don't want to perform factory reset just for this problem haha.

Re-lock bootloader

.asus-zenfone.com/2014/09/how-to-re-lock-asus-zenfone-bootloader.html
[Zenfone 5 General] dilz8u:
Nope It still isnt fixed, the good thing is that my zenfone 6 will connect with other routers fine, its just my router which it has compatibility problems with. I tried to downgrade again but this time to 1.17, again its impossible.

The problem still persists but now its a bit better because I wiped cache & partition, done a factory data reset from the recovery menu.

When I done a normal factory data reset using the phone it didnt fix the problem but for some reason if you do a factory data reset and wipe cache & partition from the recovery menu it makes the wifi a little bit better.

I'm just waiting for kitkat hoping that it sorts the problem out but if kitkat doesnt then I will buy a new router.

If someone can help me with this question, I'll appreciate it.

Do we have to install all updates one by one so that all the bug fixes can take place? or do all the bug fixes in between take place if we update from 1.12 to 1.18?

Zenfone 6 Battery

Hi guys,

Looking forward to buy Zenfone 6...can anyone tell me about battery life? some of the reviews I've read and seen on youtube suggest good battery, but over here, I'm seeing some concerns...are these limited concerns or is it a widespread issue which might be bad luck with the hardware...

Would really appreciate the feedback of the users.

Second question is about wifi issues I've read above, is this widespread or limited?

Many Thanks!

zenfone kitkat update due for nextweek how true is this?
[Zenfone 5 General] billy.bong:
For anyone who can't downgrade firmware, maybe can do this

You can downgrade your firmware version but with another custom recovery, not with stock recovery.

All you need is:

Download the full stock rom image with firmware version you want. The file size around 600MB++ for stock 1.14. After download finished, open the .zip file. If inside the file there's other .zip file, extract it because we will use it. Otherwise just keep use that file without extract it.

After downloaded the rom image file, you need to download cwm recovery installer. You can grab it form asus-zenfone.com

Root your phone

After that, install CWM recovery. I prefer CWM because it can do adb sideload, but can't read file from SD card. TWRP can't do that on my phone but can read file from SD card.

Reboot your phone for 2 times.

After that turn off your phone.

Next, boot into cwm recovery by turning on your phone, when the phone vibrated, release the power button and press&hold volume down button.

Your phone will boot into cwm. Then select adb sideload.

Finally, sideload the stock rom image file from step 1.

You can use TWRP but you need to put the rom image to your sd card and flash it. I didn't tried with TWRP but it maybe work.

Let me know if that step work for you. Idk but we can't downgrade our firmware since 1.18, maybe there's some security fixed in 1.18.

Hope this can help you, and don't forget press the thanks button haha :D

[Zenfone 5 General] dilz8u:
Thank you very much, really appreciate it. I would've done what you said but after the reset my connection is a bit more stable so I'll just wait for kitkat.

---------- Post added at 02:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:13 PM ----------

The battery life on the zenfone 6 is absolutely amazing. I have no apps which save battery or anything like that, I just use the power saver mode (optimized mode). I get over 7hours on screen time every time!! I read books on it for about 3hours a day, the other 4 hours I spend either playing games, watching movies, listening to music (Via bluetooth earphones), texting etc. My wifi is switched on for about 5 hours. I will try to upload a screenshot later on about my usage. I use the GSAM battery monitor which shows on screentime etc and other usage really well. I would definitely recommend it to people looking for a phone that can last the whole day easy!

I am on FW 1.18 (btw there was a significant improvement in battery on v1.18 from v1.12)

the wifi is not a widespread issue its just a compatibility issue I think. it occurred after I updated from version 1.12 to 1.18. My wifi was fine with version 1.12 worked flawlessly, then I upgraded to 1.18 and had problems like constant disconnects etc. I checked with a different router and my wifi was fine so i assumed it was a compatibility issue with my router. This is a problem with other androids aswell not just the zenfone 6, if you browse through a few forums you'll find many phones seem to have the same problem and there are alot of fixes out there. I tried a few fixes but to no avail, my router is locked so I couldnt change a few of the settings which i think might have solved the problem for me but with other routers it works fine so if the problem isnt fixed with kitkat I will buy another router.

But all in all I am absolutely loving the phone, only had it for a week and have no complaints really just eagerly waiting for the belated kitkat.

seems credible.

they already updated the kernel source code page about 11 days back.

well, am not askin' for custom rom :D
[Zenfone 5 General] mdfzhi:
i've looked into the zenfone 5 latest kernel source, dated 2014.09.12. its not complete. can't be used to compile full bootable kernel.

btw unlocking bootloader using the official unlock app, asus will know your bootloader is unlocked. the apk will connect to asus server and probably register the phone serial and imei. got unofficial unlock method without using the official apk thus asus wont know the phone is unlocked so anyone doing it can still retain warranty. can also relock back.

Problem with Tasker

Whenever I try to import some profile from Tasker an error message comes_

Error_failed to import profile data

I have attached a screen shot if the same

I have searched online but am yet to find a solution . Any workrounds

Thanks
[Zenfone 5 General] sgsI9003:
It seems the profiles were made in older version of tasker & now you have newer version of tasker which is why you cant import the profiles.

Make a new profile then back it up

Then delete it from tasker now import the backup profile it will work bcoz its made in newer version.

I have zen6 with the latest firmware, but I experienced a rather disappointing battery life. It goes from 100% to 75% in just 1,5 hours of about 5 minutes calling, 5 minutes of video, 2 sim standby, HSDPA+ network, no wifi, no gaming, around 15 minutes total of screen time. Optimized power saver scheme is used. Bad battery batch? OS still 'settling down' perhaps, as I have just upgraded to latest firmware about 12 hours ago?

when i am using the asus zen ui launcher then the status bar is transparent but with all other launchers the status bar is black , i tried nova prime and apex and what not but they all show transparency option not for this version of android though the zenfone 5 has android 4.3 ,, whats wrong ? :(
[Zenfone 5 General] dilz8u:
Oh wow that's bad! I found out on another forum that a lot of people were having battery problems like quick draining etc just like yours. There doesn't seem to be a proper fix out there, someone did mention though that if you follow the instructions in the manual which comes with the phone your battery should be great.

The only thing the manual said was that you should charge the zenfone for 8hours switched off before first use.

I read on another couple of forums that when you first get a phone charge it to 100% and let the phone completely drain to 0% until it switches off and then charge it again to 100% (switched off), after you repeat these cycles a couple of times the battery should be at its best.

I have been doing this for over a week and I have to say my battery is amazing. I have attached a few screenshots of my battery stats and just recently I got over 8Hours on screen time! As I mentioned before I have not been using any battery saving app and I havent disabled any app, I let all the bloatware run free! (even though I shouldn't really) Lol

Just repeat the cycles and that should sort the problem out but if that doesnt then you probably have a bad battery although I doubt that. I think its just everybody else charging their phones sporadically and expecting the battery to perform, I do this with all my phones and even with phones with 2000mah I can get over 5hours on screen time.
[Zenfone 5 General] dilz8u:
Screenshot of battery stats. A total of 27hours.
[Zenfone 5 General] feryshad:
please tell your setting ...
[Zenfone 5 General] anarchian:
Your battery life is not just amazing.. it's magical! :good:

Today I maxed out at 16 hours with 4 and a half hours of screen time, still with 10% left. I could go to 5 hours of screen time if I let it go all the way to 0% perhaps. And you're right, 5 hours of screen time is usually reserved for 2000mAh-ish battery.

Okay, mine just being unboxed 2 days now, but off course I can't repeat that 'charge the zenfone for 8hours switched off before first use' thing, because well.. It's now used already and those who really follow that guide must be a rather 'unexcited' with their new phones :D I literally have to wait more than 3 months to finally being able to purchase zen6, so the excitement is unbearable I must say..my bad my bad I know..haha

So, I'm going to try the 100% to 0% and charging. I believe that could trigger the 'battery calibration'. I might actually try a hard reset/wipe, so here goes, fingers crossed :cool:

Z5 batt is only 2110 mah (dont know for Z4 & Z6). Less hours in standby+normal usage for device that comes with performance cpu/gpu should be normal. I've done change the default governor (interactive -> ondemand) tho i'm not so sure if this will help batt lasts a bit longer.

To me, batt consumption is so-so in average.... UNLESS.. if Asus in near future could provide us with batt upgrade services... err perhaps 3000 mah :p

I have the Zenfone 6, I keep it at optimized mode. I set the brightness to auto. Thats all the changes I made really.

Lol I was also very excited but I was able to control myself :angel: Charged it for the recommended 8hours!

I think doing hard reset/wipe might help but since it hasn't been very long you've got the phone I would strongly recommend the charge cycles I spoke of earlier.

Good Luck, let us know of the results.

[Zenfone 5 General] anarchian:
Done 100%>0% drain and charge to 100% again but no real change to my last max record (around 5 hours screen time).

Tried re-flashing the latest firmware and clean wipe, no real change.

Well, I suppose I have really reached my max batt endurance. It's rather disappointing, especially knowing your ultimate record :D At first I thought that's because I'm using two sim cards simultaneously -one for always on HSDPA internet (never use wifi) and the other for calling+texting. I suppose that takes toll on the battery, but than I see that you're also using two sims :laugh:

So now I'm going the 'desperate' way: underclocking :D

I found a review that gives a similar battery life here

Move game data to sd card without root

Hi can anyone tell me is there any way to move all game data to sd card without rooting?
[Zenfone 5 General] Tom G Alex:
I believe, there is no way to move all apps to SD without rooting ! Even with rooting, I feel that some apps are best left to phone memory :)
[Zenfone 5 General] anarchian:
Okay, after doing 'desperate measures', I'm beginning to hit a record time in screen on time and battery life of my zen6.

I use dual standby, one sim for HSDPA connection and the other is my phone and text number. Never use wifi. My typical use is always-on social media apps, BBM, heavy news browsing, taking some photos, watching two-three video clips, 5-10 minutes of calling and those sort of things, but not gaming.

From 100% to 75% battery I'm getting about 2 hours of screen on, and that's 5 hours of battery since I plugged out the charger. So my goal is not entirely about battery life, but the screen on time. Now if the phone continue to be on this rate, I should be getting something like 20 hours of battery life with 8 hours of screen time, which is good -or probably there's a twist and I ended up getting 15 hours of battery life, but with 10 hours of screen time, which is great :D Well at least it's way better than my previous 100% to 75% battery in just 1,5 hours with just 15 minutes of screen time.

Anyway, those 'desperate measures' are:

-Permanently deleting all unneeded system apps

-Underclocking to 1333MHz

-Greenfy

-Unbounce

[Zenfone 5 General] quyvinh:
Why do I choose Zenfone as the main phone? I am living is USA, where GSM is limited to 2 provider: AT&T and T-Mobile. And I need a DUAL SIM Android phone. The reason for that is I will use 1 SIM for talk and text, while the other for data. The talking I prefer to use Lycamobile PAYG (2c/min, 4c/text), and the data depends on where you live, pick the one best 4G HSDPA/UMTS.

--- So, in order to have best 4G, the phone frequency must be HSDPA 850/1900 for ATT and 1900 for re-farmed T-Mobile (not everywhere, the best for T-Mobile is AWS 1700/2100.) Plus the phone must be not too weak, strong enough to handle multitasks (no need game), and very important, price around $200.

--- The only 2 I found so far is Asus Zenfone (4,5,6) and MotoG XT-1033. From, these phone, I pick Zen5 / 2G Ram / 16G Rom. Compared to MotoG XT-1033, My picked Zen5 has 2G Ram, bigger screen (Zen6 too big), and even only 2 cores, it run faster.

--- Who can find me better phone than these 2 brands? Remember, dual sim, data support at least 4G HSDPA/UMTS 850/1900 (best if HSDPA/UMTS 850/1700/1900/2100), at least 2GB Ram, and screen no less than 4.5".

I have a zenfone 5 that was flashed from CN to WW 1.12 when purchased. Have just successfully updated from 1.12 -> WW 1.14 by downloading the WW file off Asus site. The only change that was needed is to replace the T00F with T00J in folder name after extraction if you have the 8gb model otherwise your phone won't recognise the file. Just place the file into your main Asus directory after plugging into usb and update notification will pop up. Installed with no problems in a couple of seconds so phone must have WW SKU.
