[Asus ZenFone Zoom] hankbizzo5:
No hdmi,or ir deal breaker in my book.. The specs are off the chart why slack on the essentials..
[Asus ZenFone Zoom] mazroui:
very interesting from ASUS, loving both zenphone2 and the zoom(more towards the zoom for the juicy cam it got)...

screen looks good enough

speakers well... look traditional which is very boring.. expecting tiny low sound from them

cpu is new and thats fresh.. hope its not a battery hog when pushed hard enough

i have never dealt with the company in any way...

any users out there wanna give a few pointers as to how they operate in regards to their smartphones and firmware?

coming from a dead lg g2, currently on a sony Z3 and hating it to the fullest (except for its 3000mAh batt and SOT)

plans were to wait for the lg g4 but this is intriguing.. price is right, need to test 1 before confirming anything but the launch is a bit late for the competition
[Asus ZenFone Zoom] SecretSauce:
Sorry for off topic but can you elaborate on the Z3 hating? I was thinking about getting one of those.
[Asus ZenFone Zoom] mazroui:
well TBH... its working good and nothing bad really with the factory rom.

some signal issues where its having a hard time staying on 4g-LTE compared to LG-g2 and galaxy s5.. even on 3g it would drop to 2g when those 2 would have a strong 3g connection

connection speed is good when it feels like it but feels like its being throttled when you have a few apps using the internet at the same time.. for example i have 2 bbm apps running at the same time, whatsapp, instagram, snapchat...

instagram wouldnt load as fast as it should be and same goes for snapchat... it just feels slower compared to the other two phones i mentioned..

loud speaker on calls only uses the 1 of the 2 speakers, which makes it completly useless, but theres a mod to fix that without boosting the max volume value

i always had better luck with cm-aosp but things are moving painfully slow in the development section, cm12 is in nightly stages with an 80% complete build with a few bugs still not ironed out so that ruins it for being a daily driver.

managed to root the phone without unlocking the bootloader which is great but feel like im missing on a lot working with the factory rom

depending on how cool the phone is, 4k video is time limited due to over heating of the phone. yes you do get a message about that from the factory rom when u switch on 4k video camera . so if u were using the phone prior to taking that video time is slashed to 3-5 mins before it stops..

videos taken on 4k or 1080/60 fps sometimes look like slow motion videos not running as fluid as they are supposed to...

never had a phone with so many things id comment about or couldnt help fix with the community but i guess theres a first time for everything...

anyways this has been my first sony mobile and being the latest android phone on the market, it only made sense to drop my broken lg g2 for it but i guess i was wrong

guess i could of been happier with the lg g3 but might as well keep the sony till either the lg g4 comes out or try those new Asus

Very nice phone zenfone zoom

It's a very nice phone with good camera. I really want to have this one. But i'm still saving money to buy this.
[Asus ZenFone Zoom] LordBel:
Folks, any news when Zoom will be released? As i could not find any hint on that. Besides, i also was able to find info that Zoom might get Z3590 CPU instead of more slow Z3580. But in any case, that's only unofficial info.
[Asus ZenFone Zoom] snuffelkees:
Got my Zenfone Zoom (Z3580 model 64GB) for a few days now. So far pretty nice phone, fast and good UI. Only downside is the battery going fast. Have to find out what is causing that. Not lasting a whole day so far.
[Asus ZenFone Zoom] gavinfabl:
Got mine too - First Impressions up plus camera samples. Part 2 live tomorrow with camera shootout with iPhone 6S Plus

My post below also lists the correct specs. Some errors on first post. Any questions , just ask away :)

http://gavinsgadgets.com/2016/01/14...impressions-and-camera-samples-review-part-1/
[Asus ZenFone Zoom] snuffelkees:
Which errors?

You have the Z3590 model, there's 2 models in which the CPU varies. Z3580 & Z3590.

Also there are 3 different localized versions: WW (worldwide), CN (China) & TW (Taiwan).

Mine didn't come with a headset tho. (WW Z5380 4GB / 64GB)
[Asus ZenFone Zoom] gavinfabl:
Ah ok. I thought they were all 4gb and either 64/128gb only.

Anyway. Asus Zenfone Zoom vs iPhone 6S Plus

Looks like a great idea. One suggestion, though. How about a second setting for ambient mode? So that way we have the regular display on for X amount of time (maybe 5 minutes) then it switches to ambient display and that remains on for the selected duration. In any event, thanks!

android version: 4.3 official

model number: c1904

As i have very less internal storage i cant play hd games,it needs root access and i am outdated with android platform. It is good to prefer cm12 or android 5 among others.

i need bug free rooting

help me!!!
[XDA Assist] Perseus:

[LG G2 Mini] bombaglad:
hi everyone

i've been using the d620r version for half a year now and there is a problem i see with the ram managment. the phone just can't keep a few tasks running at once. when i listen to music, or chat with chatheads (fb messenger) and open another app, for example maps, browser, or any game, the system simply closes the music and messenger apps running in the background. and i don't even want to mention the homescreen which reloads everytime i open the simplest app...

i am rooted, and this is what i've tried to do to solve my problems:

deleted lg the bloatware (like lg sync etc)

deleted google bloatware (google search, play games, play music, etc)

played around with auto memory manager (setting really low values so apps would not get killed)

tried to force ongoing notifications using the xposed module app settings

tweaked around with gl tools, to decrease graphics so apps would be lighter

decreased screen resolution using resolution changer pro (this helped but it made the phone and message apps to forceclose)

i even flashed another rom, the crystal PA 8 available here on xda.. this actually helped, there was much less closing, BUT the rom is too unstable and buggy for everyday use...

is there anything else i could do?

thanks a lot
[LG G2 Mini] jfpsb:
I don't know about any other users but root takes something from performance, at least here (D618). What I suggest is: flash back stock, full wipe (KDZ), root but don't heavily use apps that require root, don't use a lot of xposed modules and etc. Hope it helps.
[LG G2 Mini] sebatox:
make swap in cache partition because its so dumb to have that much free memory

and thats why apps are being killed
[LG G2 Mini] bombaglad:
thanks for your opinion. actually, this problem occured even before i rooted the phone. right now, i'm back to stock. i hoped that maybe i could expand my ram using rohesoft swap expander but our kernel is not supported and i couldn't find any custom ones...
[LG G2 Mini] bombaglad:
kernel doesn't support swap
[LG G2 Mini] bombaglad:
oooh i was sooo wrong... the cache swap file works perfectly, the phone is much much smoother now

if anyone is experiencing the same issue, just download ram expander, choose the swap file location to cache and enjoy :)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daisuke23:
Hi guys..I need help with flashing my Xperia X8.

I made some mistake in flashing the rom..and now my phone is bricked and stuck at Sony Ericson logo.

I've tried flashing my Phone with PCC and Flashtool since SEUS cant be used now..But nothing works.

FlashTool

1)Insert Xperia x8 default firmware in Flashtool/Firmware

2)After I choose My firmware I insert USB cable to my CPU,(Phone Turned Off)Press Back Button and then insert the usb cable.

3)It does not enter flash mode.No Green Light No nothing.It only entered to Sony Ericsson logo and stuck there doing nothing.Pull back the battery

and insert back and press the Back button,Insert the USB Cable to phone the problem still occur!

4)Tried all sorts of combination still the same..

PC Companion

1)Same problem with flashing since It need to press Back Button(Phone turned off)..

*The problem occur after I install GingerJHV5 rom and Wipe/Reset Factory during XRecovery*
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bio Max:
Hi guys

Is there a way of putting the phone on silent without having to 'open' the phone and then use the volume keys?

I'm coming from an iphone and in meetings I just used to slide a switch. I know the Z3 doesn't have that of course - but is there a way of doing it without waking the phone?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hanime:
Yeah, iPhones have that dedicated hardware switch for that. Unfortunately, the Z3 does not have that as far as I know.

EDIT: Actually, you can push the power button once, then push and hold it again to open up a menu, then press the silent button. It's not a single switch, but it doesn't have to unlock the phone.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dashrink:
Yea.

The sound toggle menu works from the Lockscreen. The IPhone does have the hw switch, but its not switching to silent, hence the vibration is active. With android you can choose between sound, silent or vibrate. I prefer this over the IPhone way.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tweker:
There is a setting wherein all you have to do is turn the phone face down. It's in Personalization, Motion. Haven't used it nor have I tested it on multiple calls.

I find it interesting that the alice homepage includes links for a newer version of the rom (Alice Reborn v8.0) or for a custom cyanogenmod.

Under Download > Cyanogen Mod 11 > P780, there is the corresponding link for the custom cyanogenmod.

some issues that i stumbled upon in 9.1.2 is

settings frequently forced closed

some option like date format, am / pm clock, etc is unusable (i can tap on it, but nothing happen)

no app icon appear on notif tray (usually bbm icon always appear on notif)

if you pull down the notif tray, looks like it does not start on top of the screen, but down by some pixel (i can see the top of battery icon)

line is always forced close

home button is not working as well, either long press or short press

anyone can face the same issue?

i then 'rollback' to the 8.4 by reinstalling 8.0>8.1>8.2>8.3.1>.8.4 , but then the notification still display no app and i can't access the quick setting as well. so now i flashing alice from scratch again

Hello all

I seem to have a spot of bother, I had two notifications on my device.

I Long Pressed the notification until the screen changes, Giving you a option to Snooze or press the little "i" button.

When you press Snooze, how the hell do you get your notification back?

I use Rotation to force all into Landscape.

I done the Snooze on the apps notification, and i cannot get it to re-appear, I use the notification as a quick toggle to change from Force to Auto

I also done it on ShareKM

and i cannot get neither of them Back.

Even when i go to:

Settings / Sound & Notification / App Notifications

WHen i configure to allow Heads up etc, Still nothing.

Not even after a reboot.

Its obviously not a Snooze button, its more of a Here hide this notification FOREVER!!!

Anyway has anyone got a little more experience with how this works?

http://www.androidauthority.com/snail-obox-gaming-console-android-578430/

This one look like a worthy successor of the Xperia Play. Doesn't seem like the software is promising, and it's using a MediaTek which means it's single core performance is not very good, which will effect emulation, which is what I want something like this for. Doesn't matter because it's still faster than the Play. I'm not sure how you can keep the phone in your pocket and not accidentally press all those buttons though. If they have a cheap non-3D display version, I might be interested in getting one.
