Ze551ml overnight charging issue

I have a ZE551ML running WW-ASUS_Z00A-2.20-40.97-20150917_1572 and I am experiencing a bizarre charging problem.

About a week ago, I unplugged my phone after charging all night and found it was only at about 39% power. "Oh wow", I figured, "Guess it's time to toss that wall wart I've been using for five years or so (it was an OEM Blackberry charger)". This is the same charger I've used with the Zenfone for about six months with never a hiccup.

That night I fished a new wall wart out of a drawer and plugged it in. The "charge" indicator came on, so I thought, "All is well" and went to sleep. The next morning I woke up, same problem. Phone was nowhere near charged. Next night I plugged it in, used it for a while, put it down, and then checked it a couple of times before going to sleep, the charging indicator never went off. Next morning, about 50% charge. Same thing every night since.

One other strange indication: I have a Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 device that I use in the evenings and on weekends, and once or twice when I plugged it in, I noticed that the phone said "Unsupported Charger" or something similar, a message I'd never seen before. But it charged without issue. It also charges without problem in my car, at my office (through my PC's USB port as well as a generic wall wart) and pretty much everywhere else. So it seems to be a problem that only occurs when the phone is charging overnight.

Nothing has changed with the phone recently. Google Play is not set to auto-update. I update some Asus apps manually, but I haven't updated the firmware itself for months.

Any ideas? Please don't suggest a factory reset unless it is in response to a known issue. I'd rather buy a new phone than have to go through that nonsense more than once.

Thanks! Carl

Nice description of your problem...

Since your phone battery charges well in car/ office so your battery is all well, no hiccups there.

As for the charger, unsupported charger warning normally occurs when either the pin has become loose, or if the voltage rating isn't same as the phone requires,different brands keep different ratings, almost same but there may be a chamge, I recommend using a ASUS OFFICIAL CHARGER, or borrow it from someone and give a try.

Thanks :)

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ConnCarl:
Thanks for the prompt and spot-on reply!

Anyway, problem's resolved. Pulled out an old multi-port charger and a new USB cable and it charged to 100% with no issues.

Not sure what happened to the first charger since I tossed it out, but I suspect it must have gone bad. Turns out the second one was a charger from a Bluetooth headset with a very low charge rate. I suspect the "Unsupported Charger" message was the result of a really cheap charging cable...I always use Anker or Aukey cables which I find to be decent quality, but I bought a cheap cable off of eBay because I wanted a bright red one to remind me which port was QC 2.0 compatible.

Im planning to buy this one.

In this moment, Im torn to choose between zenfones the ze551ml and ze550ml variants. Upon researching, I thought that the difference between the two was the storage and chipset but I saw that ze551ml runs on 1080p and ze550ml runs on 720p.

Now heres the question does the ze551ml also has 16gb Rom/2gb ram variant?

NEW ZE551ML won't enter recovery

I have been reading threads for over 12 hours, I am exhausted and now have to work. I have been installing custom ROMs on my Androids for several years and have never encountered such a headache.

1. Used ZE551ML I verified that it was not rooted, i tried to enter recovery and it took me to what appeared to be Asus recovery mode.

2. firmware: LRX21V.WW-ASUS_Z00A-2.15.40.13_20150506_3876_USER

3. Attempted to update firmware by renaming 2.19.40.20-user.zip file to MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip

attempt to flash failed. Showed unplugged icon.

4. Tried to load using ADB with tehtered then untethered instructions. It fails after a few seconds says "Device not found". tried fresh reboot, wipe cache, etc.

5. Now phone will not enter into recovery mode at all. It boots into Android os and seems to work fine. i used an app to verify it is not rooted, no busy box, nothing.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone know how double tap to wake works? as in what sensors are used etc? I dropped my phone a month ago, ever since the double tap to wake has stopped working. I replaced my screen as it had shattered and figured it would fix it but it still has not fixed it.

Was wondering if it could be the actual screen or something else.

The proximity sensor is doing funny things but still working. I do a test and the readings are either all on or all off, no in between.

I do a calc .12345+= test and I can get everything to pass.

Before you ask, yes the settings are turned on.

Thanks all.

Also double tap to turn off works, and gestures do not.

Double tap to wake works with help of proximity sensor

So if you cover the sensor and try double tap, it wont work(telling by xperience)

So probably ur sensor is damaged,or does your screen guard/tempered glass covers up the sensor?

Help with Flash CM12.1

Hi Guys,

I know that probably many of my questions and doubts have already been answered somewhere in the threads, but I have researched a lot in the forum and google it, but not found a consistent response in which I could get the desired result. Well, this is what is happening with my Z00AD 4GB of Ram and 32GB Rom.

I root the device but from what I could see, to give root, does not necessarily need to unlock the bootloader (not sure if this is correct, it used a downloaded application here that has a .bat called "cai_dat_CWM.bat" to take root on the device, and apparently it worked)

After that, I tried to unlock the phone's bootloader following the tutorial that tells the adb shell access via super User and use a code to unlock the bootloader and then change the splashscreen to the default image (according to this link here )

As explained above staff, I could not even make TWRP or any other type of recovery open on device, I tried to use the CWM appearing on root process to flash roms and the device becomes a paperweight and does nothing and I have to give flash stock and start all over again.

I am currently in Stock 2.20.40.164, there is possibility to do this procedure in this version? or I will have to downgrade? if you have to downgrade, only just flash? or have any specific procedure?

I need help to get out of Stock because I hate ZenUI persoanlization. I don't know if it's because Asus is located in a region where colorful things are attractive to the public in the region, but I don't like one bit and miss customize my device.

Well, I apologize for poor english and would like your help solve this issue.

Questions

Hi guys I'm new here with my Z00AD(4 gb ram).

I read other threads but I have questions. Simple yes-no or names would suffice.

I liked this phone very much and unlike many others I quite liked even ZenUI. Only thing I hate is battery. It sucks. Like everyone culprit is OS in mine too so I want to flash a Custom ROM. Here my questions:

1-) I heard there aren't any methods for relocking bootloader. Can I use my warranty by flashing Stock ROM back?

2-) There are two methods for unlocking: official and unofficial. I heard with official one Asus will know you unlocked the device but they can't track you with unofficial one. So which one should I use?

3-) And most important question: Like I said, I have battery issues and I want to know which Custom ROM is best for battery(how much better than Stock ROM?) and stability. I heard CyanogenMod has bugs so others which use it also have them. Are there any major bugs? Some recommend CM while others say RR, BlissPop, Echoe Zen... So I don't know which one to choose and I don't have time to try them all but I prefer android 6 if both versions stable.

4-) Another important question: I quite liked ZenUI and I want to use it with ROM if it's possible. So if i install ZenUI Launcher will it change whole interface to ZenUI or setting and some other thing will look same with Custom ROM?

Thanks in advance!

I've been fighting with the Power Saver notifications on my Zenfone 2 since I got it in July. I only use it for calls & texting, I'm not one of those people who buries their face in their phone every second of every day so my battery drain is very optimal but every morning I wake up with one or sometimes two notifications from Power Saver reminding me to turn it on.

I DON'T WANT TO.

Reflashing the full stock firmware from sd card will not wipe your data. You will however loose root access if your phone is rooted. But it's just a matter of running quickroot again and SuperSU settings retain, so all apps requiring root work normally.
