Does the Zenfone 2 support MHL? I thought I read somewhere it supports MHL TV-out via micro-usb port?

I have an MHL adapter that was working well with both my previous Samsung and LG. But upon plugin it into the Zenfone 2, nothing is displaying on my HDMI monitor. There is no option in SETTINGS about Video/TV out.

Any idea if this phone actually supports MHL? I know this phone is relatively new so not all features are well known and documented.

Drastic always crashes

Hello can anyone help me with this problem please :(

In my previous LG Optimus L9 the Drastic DS Emulator worked flawlessly but now in my ZE551ML Zen2 it always crashes whenever i opened a ROM

IDK whether the problem is because of Lollipop or the x86 architecture

I've tried many versions of the emulator but it just doesn't work

Can someone detect the problem and help me pls :(

Hi everyone,

I have a question about the FM Radio application.

Can audio in FM Radio be routed to a paired Bluetooth device?

Checklist:

- Have plugged a wired headset (bluetooth off), audio is OK

- Switching to the built-in speakers works

- Bluetooth external speaker is paired and music plays fine using other apps such as Poweramp or phone calls.

However:

(Having plugged a wired headset + bluetooth on & paired), no audio goes through the external speaker.

Misc info:

- 2.19.40.18 ww

- rooted ("method 3" 1-click 14/6/15) with xposed

So my zenfone 2 was rooted, and I forgot to unroot before trying system update so I received an error while updating. Restarted my phone and forgot about it until this update came out when I did the same thing. I now unrooted my phone and tried to enter recovery mode in order to update it, but whenever I go into recovery mode it starts the system update on its own and then gives me the Android icon with Error.

I ahve the ZE551ML on 2.18 firmware, it is rooted and I have uninstalled a lot of bloatware. In order to do the OTA all I have to do is UNROOT the device and then apply the OTA, then REROOT the device. Correct? Or am I missing something?

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Imapuckhead:
Couple of questions:

I have have the phone nearly a week and have already rooted it with no issues. I used method 3 from the general thread.

1. I received a notice to update via OTA update and tried to apply the update and it errored when it tried to go into recovery mode. Got the Robot with the error notice above it.

I attempted the fix using the fastbboot command to erase cache but all that came up was waiting on device. Can I just clear cache from the recovery method? (via getting into recovery using the power button volume up trick once getting the robot error screen). If not can someone post more details on how to use that erase cache method? what status should the phone be in etc?

2. Updating firmware. My phone is currently on v2.15 and I tried to side load 2.19 but I got an error stating it expected v 2.18 to be installed. Do I need to update to 2.16, then 2.17, then 2.18 and only then apply 2.19?

Looks like 2.16 does not exist on Asus support page. I have 2.17, 2.18 and 2.19 if I sideload them do I need to boot to the Android OS each time between sideloads?

help on the above is appreciated. :)

Yes, you have to unroot to update with OTA. Otherwise it will bootloop or not allow the update to proceed.

Well i diwloaded 2.19 file manually and perform the update manually via going into recovery.

Download it from a thread where its written ota links .then u have to put that file in root of sd card and internal memory Both after changing the filename to"MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip,

Then go to fastboot mode then via volume keys select recovery mode and then press ok(i.e press power button for select)

It will automatically start updating.and done:)

I will advise u to unroot and dont be on freezed or any deleted bloatware.

Hope i helped .

Hi guys,

I'm having strange screen problem recently.

My upper screen isn't responding to my touch. Mostly happened if I charge my ZF2 but not fully charged, then I discharge it. And also if the power saver is set at "smart saving" and / or "Ultra saving".

The problem isn't only for one application, I just attach the screenshot so it will be easier to understand.

Hereby I attach the screenshot :

I can't access / touch the Google play search bar and the notification bar.

Even if I auto rotate my ZF2, I still can't access / touch the Google play search bar and the notification bar.

So I believe it's not hardware error because the problem still exist in auto rotate.

My workaround is :

Go to setting, change power saver setting to balance or performance mode, restart phone.

But still, it's a very annoying that I have to do that repeatedly.

Does anyone have the same problem?
