Sorry I quoted the entire thing.

I'm using an Asus Z008D 1.8Ghz version with XOSP custom ROM, but the screen colours are kinda dull compared to th stock ROM's vivid mode which I've grown accustomed to.

I tired flashing some custom kernels but none of them had a screen setting options.

Is there any other kernel you can recommend for this ormaybe even another way?

LiveDisplay just doesn't give the same gamma and saturations.

Thanks in advance :)

Those who own a cheaper ZE550ML model, does your phone have a NFC chip like ZE551ml?

In general apart from the chipset and 720p screen and plastic back cover, what does the cheaper ZE550ML lacks?

How is your reception? Strength wise?
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Overandout:
I live in a major capital city, so signal reception is not really a problem for me, the graphic always shows full strength and call quality has been perfectly acceptable so far, in fact I hadn't even given it a thought.

Next week I'll be travelling round a bit, so I may have more complete view after being in more rural areas.

Wi-fi connection is stronger than on my last phone (which was a Dual SIM Samsung GT7582).

Considering that the 550ML cost me the equivalent of 55€ / 60$ more than the old Samsung did, it's an amazing phone for the money.

please help :(

here is my problem :

i got a new asus zenfone 2 ze511ml 4gb ram/32gb. then i used it. i didn't charge it in the first time and i got the phone dies when battery stats show about 30% or more. then i charge it. it shows the battery still at around 30% and charging. not showing that the battery is at 1% or 0%

then after the phone said the battery is about 70%, suddenly the battery stats go to 100%. thats what makes me confuse

then i charge it until full, i used it again but i got my phone dies again when battery stats show about 30%

i did the factory reset, i still got the same.

charge it over night, still no change

I got my zf2 2 weeks ago, already flash to ww and no root.

I realise that my mobile internet is so slow, download around 36-45kbs and the (H) is always on. I contacted my mobile operator and they made all necessary test with my phone and a samsung.

Still the same but on the samsung it download around 5.6mbps with H+. I try to test from another operator to check if its really with my phone but got around 1.5mbps with (H) on my zf2.

Really don't know why with my operator it didn't work as they said that it maybe the sim voltage that not compatible.

My device is an Asus zenfone 2 Z008. I rooted it, and was wiping data and cache (using CWM recovery) so I could flash a new ROM. This process took a long time, and due to low battery, my phone switched off in the middle. Now, it is stuck in bootloop. When i enter fastboot mode and choose recovery, it reboots to fastboot mode. In fastboot mode, when I plug it into a PC, it is being detected, but it cannot be seen (ie, the usb device detected sound is heard, but the device is not seen).

Device Won't Start ,USB LOGO ISSUE

Hello there ,

few days ago i was restarting my phone while it was in charge and the battery is 9 percent because the phone was going slow and heavy

it turned off but when it turned on back again a USB logo appeared and that was it , no matter how I try i can't get over this USB logo when i turn it on

recovery mode didn't work by clicking volume up + power button it leads me to the USB logo just like I'm turning it on normally ,download mode didn't work

I tried volume up + volume down together then power button and kept pressing them for over a min while the phone is on charger and it didn't work as well

So I went to the other option which is disconnecting the battery ,I did that and still no use

could you guys help me please ? I don't want to replace the mother board as the Asus customer service offers as a solution because they don't fix this as they claim !

Option to Safely Remove Zenfone 2 from windows?

Hello, noob to Zenfone 2. I am wondering if there is a way to safely remove the Zenfone 2 when connected to windows via USB. I have never seen the option, either in the icons at the bottom right or by right clicking my device in file explorer. I am guessing the Zenfone 2 is not treated by windows as a regular storage device and therefore doesn't need to be ejected?

Any help is appreciated!

Updater process ended with ERROR: 7 from July CM13 Zenfone Selfie/Laser 1080 - SOLVED

Hi Chaistrin,

Good news: There a solution, an easy one! I just fiund out and I'm pleased to help someone else out. First of all you have to download a file:

http://sh.st/JSLls

Hope you have adb+fastboot installed. Go to c:/adb folder, from inside it shift+click dx and choose "open command prompt here"

If you need ADB+FASTBOOT too get them here:

http://sh.st/JSL9v

You'll have a command prompt window opening, in which you, with your phone connected with usb debugging on, you'll type:

adb devices

you probably would read s"starting Deamon server...bla bla..." and finally:

C:\adb>adb devices
List of devices attached
B9ADSJOPAXXXX device

C:\adb>

If aside your device no. you read "unautorized" just go to your mobile and give permanent autorization to host pc.

Type:

adb reboot bootloader

(if you got the "unautorized msg but no prompt for permission on the mobile type the above mentioned command and check the mobile again.

Mobile should reboot and show on top a light blue sign saying:

FASTBOOT!

Put

the last

twrp img for your device inside c:/adb folder and rename it as: twrp.img

Then type:

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

It should take seconds to install successfully. When done type:

fastboot reboot

At this point you'll have your brand new recovery.

Log into it

, button combo if needed is: vol- +power

In your extSD you have previously prepared:

- the file/s downloaded earlier on mega

-latest cm13 rom

-latest Gapps (arm-64 OpenGapps - not other ones!)

Reboot to recovery, make a

FULL WIPE

, for a clean install go to advanced wipe and wipe:

-/System

-/Data (if you want /Data can be formatted into F2FS, seems to be faster read/write than EXT4)

-/Cache

-/Dalvik/ART cache

-/ASDF

and, if you can (don't care or have a back-up) wipe also

-/Internal storage

Than go to INSTALL, look for your

Z00T-WW

file downloaded from mega and

flash it

. You should see it flashes your bootloader, modem ext....

when finished go ahead with flashing the latest cm13 and finally your arm64 opengapps choosen package.

Wipe cache and dalvik

and reboot with finger crossed and touch wood!!! :cowboy:

In case of need Skype me: WebWiller

If helped a Thanks button pressed is nice. I personally have an issue with phisical buttons after July updates and had to turn on virtual ones. Apparently I'm the only one...but if you spot this or another issue please report it to me, we'll try n make some noise 'bout it!

Hi folks!

I messed around with different roms, just to try them out and also tried to downgrade to stock rom cause I'm maybe selling my device and want to get hands on with the whole procedure. It did work while trying out cm13, cm RR. When I got to install stock recovery and stock MM for Asus Zenfone Selfie (Z00T) I managed to flash recovery via adb. Than installing Stock Rom.zip from update from zip in recovery the installation got stuck into verifying install. I managed to revert back to TWRP 3.0.2-4. I than wiped /sytem /data /cache /ART Dalvik /internal storage and /asdf. Then flashed back cm13+the right gapps, ALL PROCEDURE [/succeed!].

:eek: BUT... :crying:

when it comes to rebooting...it reboots in recovery only. :confused: :confused: :confused:

Tried fixing each & every filesystem

Tried re-installing again and again and again CM13+gapps (and before the new WW-Z00T.zip file needed after 15th June update for Tz comparisong that used to fail - dunno understand anything about this, I just understood I had to flash this zip before flashing rom+gapps, so I did).

Tried with and without this WW-Z00T.zip. Wiping cache & dalvik inbetween and only at last and even never: same resul: boot to recovery even tho ALL flashing succeeded.

Obv I always made a clean install, fixing filesystems of all partitions.

The issue is... I don't get any error!!! It goes all fine, but it reboots always and only in recovery. :silly:

So, I'm relatively of new to this entire Android thing and with it comes the wonders of rooting and getting a custom ROM for my device.

As any of you might have guessed my battery situation is dire. Hell, saying it's dire doesn't do it justice. My battery is on its way to ****sville on a one way speeding train as it is going.

By all my accounts of people using this ROM (or any CyanogenMod based ones for that matter) battery life improved, not the exact opposite. Is there any solution for my ****ty battery life? Is the ROM causing this in any way?? I'd really appreciate the help.

Oh, and just to contextualize: when I was using the stock Asus ROM (which is a bloatware nightmare) my battery life used to clock in at about 9 hours in every day use (be it music, YouTube, social networks and such), now it barely gets to half of that (according to the "battery" setting in the menu
