[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greyhulk:
Let me preface this by saying that this is in no way a device comparison thread.

Now that that's out of the way, I want to talk about the RAM. We have 4GB. I have noticed that if I have a web page open in the browser I can go back to it at any time without it having to reload. This is killer!. I have been wanting that for so long. My Nexus 6 can do that up to a point, but even it will start refreshing after a while. I have yet to see the Zenfone 2 do it once. The frustrating thing is, I have a GS6 also and it will do that after only a few apps are opened. It's one of the things I really hate about that phone and which makes it irritating to use.

Here's the thing: Both the GS6 and Asus are running earlier versions of Lollipop, before the memory issues were supposedly fixed. I'm pretty sure that Samsung just has some super aggressive memory management going on. But why doesn't the Zenfone 2 suffer from the memory leak? Why is it not having the same RAM issues that the Nexus 6 had on 5.0? I suppose Zen UI could have something to do with it, but none of the other OEMs have been able to fix the RAM issues with their overlays. Is it just the sheer amount of RAM that makes it less noticeable?

Sound off. Either way, I'm thrilled with the performance of this phone.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nathan118:
My zenfone 2 is getting delivered today. I'm VERY much looking forward to Android 5.1 on it. When my Nexus 5 went from 5 to 5.1, it was sooo much better. I'm expecting the zenfone 2, s6, etc, to see similar improvements.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greyhulk:
5.1 Made my Nexus 6 a totally different phone. But the Zenfone 2 is really solid right now. While I'm sure that 5.1 will only make it better (especially the "all cores at once" change), I have zero complaints about performance with this phone.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harfainx:
Combination of Clean Boost thing, as well as a massive amount of RAM.

When I'm idle, I hang around 1.3GB RAM used. I can leave a ton of stuff open in the background for immediate opening and I still only hit around 2.5GB RAM usage. I imagine playing huge games will eat up the rest. The management along with the amount is what makes it so smooth and easy to multitask.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mrinal Roy:
Zenfone 2 will soon get a 5.1 upgrade with a 64 bit os which will make the device a god :D Eagerly waiting for the 5.1 upgrade. The only thing i wish for is to see some Aosp roms like cm, pa on this device.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlaw:
Where has ASUS said 5.1 upgrade will bring 64bit OS?

Razr-i has a CM (port) rom out.. Only thing I've done with it so far is pull a few apks (ex: calculator) and binaries (ex: htop) off of it
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattDGTL:
I can totally notice the ram leak, my ZF2 ram idles around about 2+gb out of the box. Because it has so much ram you will not notice it.. my nexus 6 with the ram leak patch idles at 1.3gb.. I can only imagine the beast of a fine this will really be.. But I cannot complain, my ZF2 was free thanks the North America launch event asus gave away the 64gb model. :)
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deathmaker06:
It is possible they included a patch for the memory leak prior to release of their phone. Either that or it some how doesn't apply to the intel atom processor and how it may handle ram.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dustbuster:
Strange... I'm on the 2 GB version, and I have constant problems with apps getting closed, presumably due to swapping. Sometimes it gets so bad that even opening Chrome will close out every other app. Normally, I can't seem to keep more than a couple apps open before they start getting swapped out - maybe Hangouts and my podcast app. Is anyone else seeing similar behavior, and/or have a workaround? The "boost" function doesn't seem to do much to help.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] by4x5:
Are you rooted? I got rid of all the bloatware, installed greenify, disabled a bunch of non essential apps from starting using auto-start, and I'm not having any issues at all. I have the 2 GB version as well.

With messaging, books, and email open...stock. There is still a memory leak issue, the only thing is with the 4 gig version you have so much available most cannot tell a difference.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ziddey:
Kernel has KSM support, and init scripts reference a missing init.ksm.rc.

Per https://source.android.com/devices/tech/ram/low-ram.html, the normal settings are:

write /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/pages_to_scan 100

write /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/sleep_millisecs 500

write /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/run 1

Personally, I don't have any complaints about battery life on the zf2, so ymmv with drain from ksm.

Normally saves around 100-150MB, a few times upwards of 300MB. But regardless, this bandaid will not help if you're still barely afloat even after discounting cache.

Can either unpack boot.img and modify the ramdisk (now that bootloader can be unlocked) or use an app / init.d script.

Hey,

I bought my Honor 6 plus in China and set it in English. But some apps (Stock Browser, Huawei apps) still in Chinese, and also some features (Magazine unlock, the country name displayed in dialer).

Anyone can send me the english stock apk?

About the features, is there a way to change this, WITHOUT root or a custom rom?

Tks

[XDA Assist] XDA Visitor:
Out of a sudden, a black thin vertical line appeared on my phone. Originally, it disappeared but then it appeared again. Restarted my phone, took the battery out blah blah, it did not really work.

I have my phone since late October, so it is not that new , but not too old to start getting problems like that! Never dropped water or anything, it wears a screen protector and is in a case all the time!

Help please! I really cannot afford a new phone at the moment!
[XDA Assist] jd1639:
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. You're not going to like this, but it's most likely a hardware issue. But you never gave any information on what device you have. Flashing the stock firmware might help you and if I had your device info I could point you in the right direction to try that.
[XDA Assist] DonaJuanita:
Hi there!

My device is Doogee Dagger DG550 and it came pre-installed with Android KK 4.4.2 (I have rooted it and installed many things since then).

Is it gonna get worse? Can the stock firmware fix it? :(((((((
[XDA Assist] jd1639:
There is not a lot of information about your device on XDA. But maybe someone in this thread can help you, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2712333&page=47
[XDA Assist] DonaJuanita:
The point is that it is a rather screen problem than a Doogee problem (I think).

So any solutions for getting rid of a black line on screens would help (from Samsung users, HTC users, any users).
[XDA Assist] jd1639:
It's most likely a hardware issue and stock firmware is not going to help. But I'd a least try flashing the stock firmware. See the link I gave you to see if anyone there knows how to do that on your device. Because I can't find anything on XDA which will tell you how help you. Most likely you are going to have to get the screen replaced.

I was trying to install twrp on my white D801, and apparently alot of people are bricking there white version.

I have a black one, and it does the twrp fine.

What works:

-Turns on, boot logo

-Blinking led

-Has a COM# on my computer

What does not work:

-ADB

-fastboot

What I tried:

-LGflashtool using COM41 (using tot)

-LG flash tool 2014 using kdz

-Board diag, getting flash dload programmer error
[T-Mobile LG G2] aquatarkus:
I had this happen with a black D801 when I accidentally flashed a version of TWRP on it that was meant for a D800 (doh!). I was able to break it out of the mode you describe here, by opening up the back of the phone and flipping up the battery connector (with a charged battery). I then inserted the USB jack and held down the volume up button, while reconnecting the battery connector. This put the phone into Download mode and I was able to reinstall the stock firmward kdz file via the LG flash tool, as shown in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2432476

My Parrot Zik headphones have their own EQ on their android app.

I highly recommend getting a pair of Parrot Zik headphones off Ebay or wherever. They come with their own android app which has multiple kinds of 7 band eq's (even allows you to create/customize your own) within it. Since the new 2.0 Zik's have come out, you can pick up the 1.0's at a great price, now. They've been referred to as the Ferrari of over-the-ear bluetooth headphones.

Does this work with bluetooth? I've found that bluetooth sound quality on my G4 doesn't sound anywhere near as good as my M8 did.

Edit: well I just installed it and it does have a bluetooth option! I guess it's worth a shot. I'll try it in my car tomorrow and see how it goes!

Edit2: Just played with it on speaker mode - and the EQ definitely works with spotify - but the treble/base circles at the bottom do nothing. Either way - the EQ works great, and music *definitely* sounds better already. :) Thanks for this!

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxhsu:
Does anyone know if TMobile brand Sony Xperia Z able to flash the other ROMs. I know it's BL and will lose TMO Wifi call function. But TMO stop at 4.3, and I cant see any hope for 4.4, 5.0. Is possible to flash other ROMs? Thank you.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muhammadahmadmujtaba:
Yes, you can.

WIFI calling function will not work ofcourse but if you are not satisfied you can flash stock firmware anyday using XPERIA FLASH TOOL. You need to unlock the bootloader using official Sony Method. If you can unlock the BL which I was able to.

Then you can download and install Cyanogenmod 13,12,11,10. (C6603) - Yes, it has issues, so I switched to.

SlimKat 4.4.4 - YUGA (C6606) - NO BUGS AT ALL.

Also do remember to flash SGAPPS from their repository no the opengapp.org gapps.

Big difference I found is that Stock OS on new flash takes around 500-700MBs of RAM where SlimKAT takes only 350MB w/o GAPPS and 500MBs GAPPS.

Good luck! I will show you screenshots

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HulianMango:
Hello all, thanks for taking the time to look at my thread.

Last night I put my M7 on the charger and when I woke up it would not turn on. Also the indicator LED was not on, neither orange or green. I tried several cables, wall warts, car chargers to no avail. After a bit of googling I came across an issue where the device shows up in Windows device manager as QHSUSB_DLOAD, and this is exactly my case. I am in the process of trying a fix that uses Ubuntu, but I would like some input, or any ideas I could also try to resurrect my phone.

It was rooted and running ViperRom, on their last version of KitKat. I have not flashed anything to it since that update came out. Also it had the stock kernel to that Rom.

The phone has not responded to any button press combinations, nor the bright lights on the sensor.

Finally I did notice that my PC, as well as my aftermarket car stereo, were able to connect to the phone but were unable to interact with it.

Please if anyone has any input I am open to all suggestions, also if you need more info/details about the situation I will answer any question as best I can.

Thanks again!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
QHSUSB_DLOAD issue happens for 2 reasons

Hardware failure (most likely the motherboard)

Bad firmware flash

Cause #2 can be fixed using the unbrick project with ubuntu.

Cause #1 requires a motherboard replacement.

Since you didn't flashed anything that directly resulted with a qhsusb_dload brick then its #1.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HulianMango:
i was afraid of that, thanks for your reply!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Loafmanuk:
Hi guys, my first post on here, sorry it has to be a request for help.. I've read through a mountain of threads about M7 issues, but none seem to match my issue, so I figure I can only ask.

Oh, by the way, I am very much a novice at this, so I may need things to be explained in a little more detail than some. I'm not a total noob as I have modded a few other phones in the past.

I have an HTC One M7 and decided I wanted to flash a different ROM. I went to HTCDEV and went through the process to unlock the bootloader. This went flawlessly.

I then installed TWRP 2.6.3.3 in fastboot. Again no problems.

I have an OTG cable (with external power).

I made a backup with TWRP which went ahead without error.

I then did a test flash of ViperOne 6.2.0 which went without issue, but ultimately I wanted to flash ARHD 91.1 (Lollipop 5.0.2).

My problem is that after ViperOne 6.2.0 I can no longer install ANY ROM at all. It says installing but then TWRP returns to the main menu with no error mentioned. I'm sure it's something I've done, just don't know what. After a few failed flashes I did format various partitions, and I suspect I flumped something at this point!?!

It's like the all the partitions on the phone are locked. And everytime I exit TWRP it says you have no OS installed and also says I'm not rooted and do I want to install SuperSU. I say yes everytime, but it will ask the next time still.

It's got to the point that I've ran out of ideas, so I hope there is someone that may have an idea.

So to summarise,

I have an unlocked bootloader.

I am still S-ON as I have HBOOT 1.57 and Rumrunner wont work.

I have no ROM installed, so cannot boot the phone into anything but fastboot and recovery (I can still flash different recovery environments from fastboot)

Hopefully someone may have an idea. Thanks very much in advance.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
ok first of all, you need to use TWRP latest for Lollipop custom roms, 2.6.3.3 is too old, use 2.8.6.0, also, expect problems with Lollipop roms whilst your still on KitKat firmware (hboot 1.57), you really need to be on Lollipop firmware to use Lollipop custom roms.

People using the latest Lollipop custom roms on KK firmware are reporting no wifi, Bluetooth issues etc.
