I was there. Not sure if anyone saw/recognized me (I doubt it). I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of stuff we got, so I can't complain. Loving the phone so far. :good:

Dude.. I didn't know you were going to be there! we could have finally met in person!
[ZenFone 2 General] Tuanies:
Thanks for the summary. I'll pass it onto my team when I compile my reports.

Also everyone else that came from XDA, can you please post a quick review so I can compile a report just for XDA feedback?

As for the boot loader, we are aware and I am doing my best to push for it - I've had a GNEX, Nexus 5, One M7, OG Droid and an HTC TyTN before the ZenFone 2 so I understand the need for it and excited for the potential things XDA members might come up with . I'll post news when I hear something. But I am making progress.
[ZenFone 2 General] Harfainx:
I was there with [MENTION=1373751]thoughtlesskyle[/MENTION]. He was in the blue shirt and commented to you about your xda shirt while we were upstairs before the event started.

I didn't recognize you or else I would have said something. :confused:
[ZenFone 2 General] graffixnyc:
I hope that M7 was GPE converted :P

I think the device is great especially for the price point. I had posted some picture comparison shots with my Edge in another thread here.

The UI is super fluid and fast. I normally put animations to .5 on devices and I don't feel like I need to on this device. The screen is gorgeous and had no backlight bleeding or anything (something every single one of my ASUS tablets has had and I've owned every model pretty much). Being able to adjust the screen warmth is awesome and will eliminate people saying "my screen is too warm" or "my screen is too cool"

I was really doubting if the intel chip would perform well but after seeing how fluid and fast it is that doubt is gone.

The camera is amazing again, especially for the price point. It goes toe to toe with my edge and is better than my M9 camera.

The only thing i have noticed is when I'm playing music with spotify and I go to open an app or press one of the cap buttons the music will stutter for a nano second as you touch the app icon you're opening or button you're pressing.

Build quality is solid. Can you tell it's not a $700-800 flagship device? yes, but when you look at it and think it's a $299 device off contract it's pretty amazing. The amount you get for the price is just mind boggling. OnePlus shook things with their price point but the ZenFone 2 is even a better value.

Battery life seems pretty great but I need more time for it to settle. I (I'm only on my 2nd charge from after the event.) I did notice mine died even though it had like 10% battery left so maybe the battery percentage is not being reported/displayed correctly.

As for the UI itself I'm more of a fan of stock Android. I'm not really a fan of the Zen UI but that's just my tastes. What would be awesome is if Asus released a stock build or provided us with the binaries to build a stock build :P

Overall I'm super impressed with the device. Keep us updated about the bootloader. I'm sure more than a few of us would be willing to test an unlocking tool ;)
[ZenFone 2 General] Tuanies:
I've always ran CM or AOKP so I understand the need for a pure device

Battery life is pretty good for me. While it doesn't last as long as my Note 4 did, that was only my personal device. I have my work and personal SIMs in it and a bunch of push notifications enabled and can still make it last the entire day unless I start Candy Crushing a lot.
[ZenFone 2 General] Tuanies:
That's good feedback. Can you please screen shot the grammar and spelling errors? That is unacceptable and I'll have them fixed.

We had an issue with 5 GHz Wi-Fi networks causing spontaneous reboots that have since been fixed but otherwise the current software is pretty solid.
[ZenFone 2 General] Harfainx:
My last (only) charge was at 10pm last night. Pretty heavy usage today since about 10am. Plugged into a laptop long enough to push files to root.

Battery is at 51% right now. This battery is rock solid so far. Of course we'll have to see how things go as I load it up with apps and start using it normally.
[ZenFone 2 General] rlaw:
http://imgur.com/a/fa3j0

Here's a link to an imgur album with some example screenshots. Again, the minor grammatical errors don't impede understanding they just don't look as professional as the translation should. A lot of "no work" errors in the ASUS support app, "power not increase", "when you wearing the gloves"... Just small grammatical errors.

These are just a few that I caught, I'm pretty sure I remember seeing more throughout the ASUS apps. Many of the errors are in the support/trouble shooting section of the apps and the ASUS Support app itself.
[ZenFone 2 General] graffixnyc:
nice, What root method did you use?
[ZenFone 2 General] Harfainx:
Pre rooted image flashed over the OTA I took Monday at the event.
[ZenFone 2 General] Reviewers:
Baby steps, first we have root!

Next hopefully soon we have an unlocked bootloader.

I can't wait to install something like stock lollipop or CM on this device and see the true speed and power.
[ZenFone 2 General] thoughtlesskyle:
Thoughts on the phone.

The Good

1. Battery life is really impressive. I haven't gotten this good battery life on a phone since my G2. I pulled 4 hours of screen on time with my first charge (91% to 3%)

2. I haven't been able to get this to lag even switching back and forth with everything i do on a daily basis. (something i do get and notice on other devices with other processors quad and octacore and a little less ram)

3. Even with how much i enjoy rooting phones, I haven't really felt the need to root this one.

4. While the phone is heavy on the preinstalled software between uninstalling, disabling, and hiding the others i've got it where i like it.

5. Several of the app icons themselves are live tiles kind of like iOS. (IE, powersaver shows your battery percent, weather shows the temp ect.)

6. It charges really fast.

7. the display is everything i have come to expect from a 1080p IPS panel, and it's temp doesn't feel too warm or cold.

The not as good (that can't change)

1. the housing when taking off the back plate is really soft plastic mine has a few knicks in it just from taking it off the few times that i have.

2. Power button is in the weirdest spot ever.

3. the keys not being backlit is pretty annoying.

4. the single back firing speaker with a giant grill.

5. the body feels nice in hand but it feels a little thick and clunky for a phone in 2015 ( for the price it's really a knitpick, but it'll say it anyway)

The not as good (but can be fixed with some work)

1. Give me an option for onscreen nav keys- they show up when using one handed mode and it would solve the lack of backlit keys issue for me.

2. The UI looks really thrown together, when it comes to skins they always feel like several separate design teams worked on them without coming together with a cohesive vision, and the SystemUI theme is rather bright with some odd color choices.

3. icon packs from the market make launcher folder backgrounds white with white text (reported this bug already)

4. the themes are fairly gaudy and I haven't seen anywhere to be able to create my own (like HTC, and CM do) even though the apks install through the market anyway.

5. Battery quick settings shortcut for easy access to the battery menu and a percentage without having to enable on status bar, it's not something thats make or break but it seems like something i would use in my QS instead of all the other stuff i have no interest in needing but have to have a minimum amount of.

6. Some sort of easy way to unlock the bootloader, whether its a web based tool like HTC and Motorola or just letting fastboot commands work for it, let them happened. It's good cheap hardware on a development site. Let it happen and let a loyalty grow.

I will edit this if i think of more

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djranbhir:
Hi Everyone posting here after a very long time

So i was recently on sammobiles website to check for any latest stock firmware for my belowed NOTE 2 GT-N7100 and found that i am running an older version and a new update is currently available with following details

Stock Indian firmware + rooted

PDA : N7100XXFUNL1

CSC : N7100ODDFNI1

and i am currently running

PDA : N7100XXUFND3

CSC : N7100ODDFND2

So can someone tell me after flashing how can i get root access back and essentials like recovery and busybox:confused:

Also if there exist a pre-rooted and deodexed stock rom with the same updated firmware please can someone provide a link :)

P.S. If there exist such a thread which would help me please point me out as i do not wish to spam and i did search but couldnt find the latest firmware i mentioned above :o
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yaro666:
there a prerooted stock roms, but you can do it quickly by flashing new rom, then flash recovery, root and that's it.

Use Odin and it will take no longer than 10min
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djranbhir:
Thanks for the zippy reply but i would really appreciate any links for the same as i am unable to locate this firmware anywhere i am currently downloading the new firmware so dont want to loose root after flashing :D

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YayNote:
Loaned my case out to my girlfriend as she just got her Note 3 and hers was ruined as a result of an accident...while working on a car today my phone slipped out of my pocket (While i was bearing weight on it and my hip) and my phone now has three 1/2 inch long gouges in the screen. The colors are okay and it still responds to touch in these areas..

My Note is still under warranty but I know this isn't a manufacturer defect. I have Asurion-they want $150 to replace my Note (which actually gets a good signal and doesn't drop calls) with a refurb -.-

I'm pricing how much a shop might want to replace the screen on this, but this literally happened 20 minutes ago so I haven't had a moment to look. Has anyone paid for their screen to be replaced? How much?

Should I roll the dice on a refurb or just get my screen replaced? I really don't want to wind up with some P.O.S that only acquires LTE when you're standing ontop of a tower.

Most shops want $120-200 to replace the digitizer, NONE will just replace the glass despite the fact that the touch/colors are ok

My Insurance company will give me a refurb for $150
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nagi_007pk:
Screen replacement

I just stumbled upon your thread and let me tell my experience about getting the screen fixed on my old phone. It wasn't the Note 3 but the Nexus S back when these phone started coming in.

So the glass broke as usual (fell off a table after my foot jammed into the charging wire) and the screen was responsive in that area later. I got the screen replaced for about a 100$ back then and the phone crapped out after a while since the guy had not fixed it properly or I don't know. The average price of a screen is somewhere around a 180 USD to 200 on ebay roughly. A fair deal would be to get the refurb otherwise I guess going for a screen you're better off moving to a better phone.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YayNote:
Moving off to a better phone isn't an option unfortunately. I have one and half years left on contract and the sub $200 phones on eBay don't even match my note 3s specs

On the upside, I called Asurion. They said I had "grandfathered in" and my deductible was $99..so I ordered one. I'm expecting it to basically receive 1x only and broken wifi.

The repair guys wanted $130 and nobody would just do the glass :/

It'd be nice if I got one on NC4, doubt it tho.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YayNote:
Got my replacement. It doesn't connect to LTE, or 3g for that matter. Permenantly says 1X. Pos. I hate asurion.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Morningstar:
That sucks. Next time something like that happens, you'd be better off replacing it yourself, especially if it's just the screen and not the digitizer as well. Replacement screens can be purchased for well under $10, and aren't difficult to install.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FrostyWolf359:
Hi All

I know there are a lot of older threads based around the gpsd battery drain issue, and I apoligise if I'm repeating the discussion, but I could not find a solution to the issue I'm having. I am not an android developer, but I have some experience in C and Java etc. I have messed around with the android sdk but only really for interest's sake.

The last two weeks I've been having an issue with battery drain on my Galaxy S6. I know other people in my area have been having the same issue, on the same mobile network as me. My dad also has an S6, and a friend of mine has the Galaxy S4 and we are all experiencing the same issue. I'm trying to understand this problem, as the networks are not being cooperative about this.

Connecting my device to adb and looking at logcat, i see the following two lines repeated like mad (319 times in the last 10 minutes)

Please let me know what i can do to stop this, or find the app that is causing this?

If you guys need more info just ask.

AT&T Galaxy Note 4 Light De-bloat + Root_OC4​

NOTE:

This ROM is available only in the eventuality that we get permanent root (Which is a requirement for flashing process)

You MUST follow all directions to successfully flash this ROM,

Features

Light debloat (ONLY AT&T Components removed)

Rooted with SuperSU 2.49

Based on N910AUCU1COC4

Any DEV who wants to use this as a base is more than welcome just remember to give credit for the source.

Instructions

You MUST be on KitKat 4.4.4 (either NIE or NK3)

Root your device by any prescribed method (Permanent ROOT is a requirement)

Go here Chainfire's Flashfire Beta preview

and follow all directions to install flashfire.

Copy this ROM to your SD Card (or Internal storage)

Open Flashfire and follow the instructions to flash (instructions on use are in the same thread as listed above)

Make sure to include the Additional files from post #2 in your FlashFire Sequence

Notice:

I am semi-retired from development and place this here as an initial starting point for others to work off of, unfortunately I do not have time

to create the full Unity/KoolKit ROM's that were so popular for the S5 crowd, I hope that permanent ROOT is obtained so that this will be

a value to many DEVs out there that i know are capable of producing the best available experience for your device.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] drivel2787:
I would assume this is only for the developer edition?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] thanitos:
No, it's a de-bloated pre rooted, with supersu, rom for developers to take and add to. The op basically did some cleaning and added su in so devs can just take it and theme it, add apks and tweak it and publish it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] drivel2787:
Sure but at this point it can't be used by AT&T devices because of the locked bootloader.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] cstayton:
OK, I'll clear this up for everyone. LOCKED BOOTLOADER does not preclude using this ROM. the only portion that the Locked BL is effected by is flashing the custom kernel. What is preventing this from being used is the lack of permanent ROOT, once we have permanent ROOT this ROM can be flashed using Chainfires FlashFire or the multirom (Which is a replacement for SafeStrap).

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] cstayton:
you can try, no guarantees and it may brick your device, if it boots you'll probably need to change your apn settings

only flash the rom itself

DO NOT

flash any of the extras or the kernel

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MixXx2005:
Hello, resiliently I bought refurbished LG G2 that claimed to be a D802 version.

After a few days I noticed that very often GSM network signal drops with no reason and 3G Internet is very slow eater.

So I decided to update its original KitKat with LGMobile Support Tool to Lollipop in hope, that this will fix my GSM and 3G problems.

After the update phones touchscreen is unusable and it do not read my SIM card, after a quick search I found that this usually happens to refurbished phones because they are not D802. So I disassemble my phone and find out that inside is D800 motherboard.

I found that solution for this is http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=58536078&postcount=75

So , where can I get stock D802 lollipop and stock D800 kernel?

And can someone provide me with treads about flashing LG's G2?

when i listen to music on my zenfone ,maximum volume is very low also music lags when using other applications,tried reflashing the firmware and other headphones but that didnt work any one got any idea?
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Overandout:
two ways to get higher music volume on ZF2:

1) Turn off the equalizer in Music, that seems to help.

2) Get some different earphones, the Asus bundled items are significantly quieter than any others that I have tried. **Sorry, I see that you have tried others, but keep trying, I use Skullcandy and Jays, and both are much better**

With regards to the sound lag (its not just Musisc, it happens with calls and other apps too) when multi-tasking, Asus has been made aware of this (see the "Audio Issues" thread on Zentalk forum), and may, or may not be working on a fix....

Some people say that turning off System Sounds in settings reduces the sound lag, but I can't say that it has helped me. This is the single bug that most annoys me with this phone.
