Oh. How sad :( . is there any way that i can use aurora? How can i upgrade to b619?:)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] dzigns:
So I'm coming from the Galaxy S5 (had the S4 & S3 before that). I'm starting to wish I had my S5 back. Can someone help me fix these issues or hopefully show me how to activate them on the S6 so I don't lose my mind?

1) Bluetooth button on call screen - on my S5 & S4 there was a 'Bluetooth' button so I could switch on and off of bluetooth during a call - I cannot seem to find it on the Galaxy S6 and I hate turning my bluetooth headset completely off when I'm on the train & someone can't hear me. :/

2) Floating contact 'head' - on the S5 when on a phone call I could click the home screen and be using something else, with the call 'bubble-head' style floating above - this allowed me quick access back to the call if I needed to take it off bluetooth or press a key on the dialpad. I cannot find this option for the S6 anywhere.

3) HD voice calling SUCKS! Unfortunately it's SUPER loud and has a weird hiss - anyway to disable the HD without breaking the ability to talk and surf the internet at the same time?

I am starting to feel like this is a very expensive downgrade from the S5. :/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] dzigns:
So I figured out the answer to my first question just now on a call (isn't that the way it goes - you finally get the nerve to ask a question and you figure out the answer yourself!)

To switch between your bluetooth headset click on 'More' and then 'Switch to phone' & it switches off the bluetooth. To switch back, click on 'More' and then 'Switch to headset'. While this is certainly not as intuitive as the 'Bluetooth' button, it will suffice.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Kenpachi 91:
VoLTE has been bad for me. I've turned it off to get better call quality, but that prevents me from using the internet at the same time.

[Networking] josep54:
Does anyone know if it is possible (and if so, how?) to connect to a bluetooth PAN from an XDA mini 2?

It is so my girlfriends XDA on o2 could connect to the internet over my Compact 3 T-mobile gprs connection. I can get my laptop to connect over it fine, but can't find a way to get the XDA to connect.

When i try to connect a new modem connection using bluetooth it lists my phone fine, but under services either only "Serial Port" (when I am sharing bluetooth folder) or nothing listed. I would have expected "PAN" to be listed as a service?

Ah well, thanks if anyone can help.

[ZenFone 2 General] aj7400:
Lets compare zenfone 2 with one plus one ...

Does zenfone2 oustands oneplus one? ( the 2014 flagship killer)

Or still lags behind the oneplus one which the older 32 bit hardware.
[ZenFone 2 General] Neo_N5:
They're both as powerful but ZenFone 2 as ZenUI. And this make the difference for me.

However, if I had to judge the company, OnePlus will be far away ahead of Asus.

Because, let's face it, OnePlus has built an awesome phone wich is still a year later a flagship killer, whereas Asus, for the same price, build a phone that has the same specs and an Intel processor... They failed, and I don't think they will sell as many Zenfone 2 ZE551ML as Oneplus sold OnePlus One
[ZenFone 2 General] lyeith:
well to each his own haha.. personally i prefer the intel chip for its better web performance.. not to mention the zf2 is cheaper than the OPO

the thing im missing here is the lack of CM and custom roms.. but hopefully its just a matter of time :)
[ZenFone 2 General] aj7400:
Well asus is a trusted brand and oneplus is new

Asus has a good support here in india just like samsung...

Oneplus has the poorest service in india
[ZenFone 2 General] rlaw:
I sold my OPO... Very happy with Zf2!
[ZenFone 2 General] aj7400:
Intel is good and fast and as relaible as qualcomm

The missing thing is core managent .. As all cores are always online .. .

And yess custom roms should not be much away. .

But the doubt arises when we look at the previous models like zf5 or zf6 which do not have a xda forum as well...

I hope there is developmnt ... Bcoz i cant live with zenui all the time :D ...

I lovee tweaking the romz :D
[ZenFone 2 General] Neo_N5:
Intel is fine but has a x86 architecture which makes it harder to have custom ROMS. And ZF5 and 6 were not as powerful as the ZenFone 2

---------- Post added at 09:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:58 AM ----------

Yes of course but first, I really love the Never Settle mind from OnePlus whereas Asus is just a company like others...

And then in France, ZenFone 2 was announced on March 31th, and it was immediately available for sale. However, shipments really started on April 20th and only in Silver and Red. Black and Gold ZF2 have been delayed.

So I bought on April 12th a black ZenFone 2 on the Asus eShop

1) It was written at this time "shipped before May 6th"

2) Asus Shop didn't give me any information. All I got was coming from French Asus CM on Twitter, and very often, his informations were wrong and incomplete

3) Finally, after more than 1 month waiting, on May 18th, they send me an email telling me that they were unable to send me the black ZE551ML and that they will give my money back. The solution they gave me was to buy a new one in Silver and they gave me an indemnification which was a View FlipCover Deluxe that I already have.

4)I asked them for an another indemnification and they told me Sorry not possible. But they could have known it because I ordred the cover at their store.

5) Finally, I ordered the new one on May 20th, on May 21st I received an email to tell me that the Black so the first one was shipped. So what do I do ? Should I cancel my order ? Then I will loose the poor indemnification...

6)For each email that I send them, it need 1-2 working days to get an answer, and their phone number is charged !

So, with all that stuff, I think that I can say that Asus and particularly their eShop is just incompetent, and I think that if I ordered a OnePlus One I would have already received it.

Moreover, my previous phone was a Nexus 5 and Google support was great.
[ZenFone 2 General] aj7400:
Bro u dont know how bad the service of oneplus one is in india ...

A minor defect needs 3 months at service centre ...

And a broken screen costs more than 70% of amount of oneplus one ..

So i think going with asus is a better option for people in india :D

And soon i think devs will start developing roms for zf2 and it could do wonders ..

More over samsung in one of its tablets to be released in futured has used a high end. Intel chipset... :D
[ZenFone 2 General] Neo_N5:
Indeed I hope that we will receive developpers attention, maybe CM !!! :fingers-crossed:
[ZenFone 2 General] AceHa92:
I would like to add that when the OPO was launched, it was nearly impossible to get one. Just few people managed to get invitations and buy one. And it makes only one month since we can buy it without an invitation.

The Zenfone 2 had some problems to be launched because of the big demand, but all people who pre-ordered it before 10 april (day of the official launch) received it one month after their order. But It was a way easier to get than the OPO.

Moreover i'd like to point out that according to rumors about the OnePlus 2, the Asus Zenfone 2 is quite the same product, because (again according to rumors) the OP2 is the same as the OPO except the processor.

In my opinion, the Zenfone 2 is a way better product than the OnePlus One.
[ZenFone 2 General] aatjitra:
I came from OnePlus... and I don't regret my decision...
[ZenFone 2 General] coolmaster121:
OnePlus has the worst customer service department.
[ZenFone 2 General] aj7400:
Yes thats what i mentioned earlier ...

Thats the only thing that stopped me to buy oneplus 2 months back
[ZenFone 2 General] Chinaphonearena:
OnePlus was great with marketing and built a powerful phone, but that's it. It took forever for it to actually be available.

Zenfone 2 will smoke OnePlus One in sales. It won't even be close as Asus is available retail internationally and actually have the clout, presence nd wherewithal to supply the demand.

As to custom ROMs etc... These will come. Zenfone 2 is barely out the gate.
[ZenFone 2 General] rlaw:
ASUS announced at the 5/19 that sales were at 10MM. OPO sold about a million as of a few months ago.

I had touchscreen problem with OPO since the day I got the phone and their customer service is beyond horrible so IMO Zf2 is already miles ahead of OnePlus.
[ZenFone 2 General] Harfainx:
I've had both since before either launch... And I can say that honestly it's a matter of preference.

They both perform really well, and they're both great phones.

There's no way to say that one flat-out beats the other. Specs are great and all, but the user experience is different, but can be changed based on which ROM/launcher is used.
[ZenFone 2 General] rlaw:
As long as you get an OPO without lemon touchscreen, the experience is largely comparable.

Battery life and performance are extremely similar.

OPO Pros:

- capacitive keys light up

- better power button placement

- much better developer support

- better display

- louder speakers

- better brightness range

Zf2 pros:

- DSDA

- cheaper

- Quick charging

- Better accessories

- expandable storage

- extra gig of RAM

- better digitizer

The camera quality is a wash. They're quite similar and OPO technically has the better quality sensor but the overall camera software and experience is probably Zf2.

Performance and hardware... Again, largely a wash. The Zf2 technically has the slightly better and faster hardware and more RAM but in practice I imagine the greater ARM optimization due to familiarity levels things.

The quality of the display is better in the OPO and the brightness range is greater but the digitizer tech on that phone completely blows. Very outdated, one crack renders the whole panel useless.

The OPO dual speaker (but still mono) setup gets appreciably louder than Zf2 but since both speakers face the same direction, a holding hand can muffle the sound somewhat more easily than Zf2 back facing speaker.

The capacitive buttons on OPO light up, which is very useful. And the developer support is the best available on Android outside of Nexus devices.

I'm not sure why but the Zf2 is more comfortable to hold in hand than the OPO. I can easily use both one handed but for some reason the slightly shorter (yet slightly thicker and wider) Zf2 is more comfortable than OPO in hand.

OPO feels slightly more premium to me (faux aluminum band I s'pose). Both lack barometers and wireless charging. Zf2 charges a helluva lot faster.

In practice, I've found the Zf2 a better daily driver simply because it's more reliable from a hardware standpoint (I had so many problems with touch recognition on my OPO and typing was a pain) and its thermal performance is much, much, much better. OPO would heat up and throttle often. Zf2 performs in the summer temp and sun much better, throttling far less.

Unless the software experience of open device like OPO is must have, I would definitely recommend Zf2 over it ten times out of ten.
[ZenFone 2 General] flappjaxxx:
I have both devices.

Zenfone 2 is nice. Love the screen. 4GB of RAM is alright with me!

64GB of storage is plenty for my needs and the price is right at $299 USD.

So far as far as performance they both seem to be about neck and neck.

Camera in my humble "opinion" seems better on the Zenfone 2.

Custom ROMs/bleeding edge ROMs on the OPO is nice and seems to have a nice amount of development.

ZenUI is just OK to me. Google Now launcher went on my Zenfone 2 right away.

Either phone is a great deal for their respective prices.

Win + Win = Win

Customer service from OnePlus has proven a challenge in the past but seems to be getting better daily.

I really don't think either phone is any better than the other. It really is just a matter of taste. For $50 more for the OPO I wouldn't feel hurt spending that over the Zenfone 2 it is still a great phone and has been my daily driver since last July.

I'm still "test driving" the Zenfone 2 and I am impressed with it so far. Only trivial complaint I have is the Asus software/bloat included. It isn't offensive since the phone is easily rooted and Titanium Backup freezes stuff just fine!

Edit:

Don't believe the hype about 5.5" screen on a 5" frame.... This 5.5" phone is actually a little bit bigger than the OnePlus One although you wouldn't notice it unless holding them side by side
[ZenFone 2 General] flappjaxxx:
OnePlus One battery life totally wins hands down.. No matter what ROM I use, stock, custom etc. Battery life is fairly weak on the Zenfone 2 considering the size of the battery. Thank god for speedy charging
[ZenFone 2 General] scottharris4:
The Zf2 has NFC but lacks wireless charging?
[ZenFone 2 General] rlaw:
This is correct.
[ZenFone 2 General] arrosen:
Still Deciding

My OPO is the best phone I have ever had, except for the digitizer. Whenever mine gets hot, it dies. No touches are recognized. I loaded a ROM that fixes it, but it kills the battery life, and today, when I left my phone in the sun, it was rendered totally useless again. I just ordered the ZF2, and I hope I made the right decision.
[ZenFone 2 General] cas8180:
I currently own the opo and ordered the idol 3 hoping for some hardware upgrades other than the processor. However I have been following the zenfone 2 for some time now. I have to admit I am quite drawn to it and definitely thinking about grabbing the 199 model just to play with it. In all the video reviews I have seen people stated that the performance difference between the 4gb and 2gb model for the most part weren't even noticeable even when doing heavy multi tasking. So it might be worth it for me just to get the cheaper model and throw an SD card in it. I wish the camera didn't have such bipolar reviews I was hoping for an upgrade from the OPO.

---------- Post added at 10:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:10 AM ----------

What's your take on the camera comparison? Also the front cam's?
[ZenFone 2 General] aatjitra:
well... Camera in CM is disappointing for me... but other people may have different opinion...

ZF2 with the latest firmware (2.17) can produce a pretty good results.. huge improvement from previous version (2.15)... but unfortunately this new firmware has another annoying bug... Asus has confirmed this bug and they have escalated to the department in charge... hopefully they will fix it in the new release...

For front camera, I didn't really notice it as I very seldom taking picture with front camera...
[ZenFone 2 General] flappjaxxx:
Edit: I was wrong. The bluetooth issue was with the paired device not the phone. Confirmed with OPO and ZF2
[ZenFone 2 General] squall2099:
Totally true. Touch screen issues with opo. Horrible customer service. Can't use it outside in the sun, starts having touch screen issues within minutes. I crack my screen, a very small crack the whole screen is useless now. My biggest problems are there customer service team and the touch screen issues.

I am using ZE551ML 2gb version, seriously multitasking is so hard after a day or two.. . Ram management combined with lollipop memory leak.. Leave users to have only around 300 to 500mb.. With that you can't do multitasking ... If you want to enjoy multitasking then zf2 4gb is the only one you can look into,, but in my zf2 2gb, I never seen lag.. It really do wonders in high graphics game, almost same performance of zf2 4gb but only if you compare foreground app,..
[ZenFone 2 General] John Laurinaitis:
Loving the 4g ram ZE551ML

Edit: this is with bloat removed
[ZenFone 2 General] flappjaxxx:
After a week with the ZF2 I am back on my OnePlus One.

I tried to like the ZF2

These are the things that made me dislike it

Asus bloat apps and services. Holy crap thats a lot

Poor battery life

Crappy design choice to not have the capacitive buttons backlit.

The size of the phone especially with a case is too big

Zenui experience overall isn't bad but the added bloat apps and services was really a big disappointment. I know I can root and freeze apps etc

My OPO is just better for me. My preference.
[ZenFone 2 General] marleyfan61:
The ZF2 is too big but the Oneplus isn't? Aside from the ZF being a little thicker the two phones are essentially the same size.
[ZenFone 2 General] flappjaxxx:
Its huge with the case. It is a little wider and thicker without the case as well. And in the hand it is considerably thicker. I didn't read the initial size specs but their false claim of a 5.5" screen in 5" sized phone is complete BS.
[ZenFone 2 General] rlaw:
OnePlus made the same claim when first teasing the OPO and the dimensions are almost the exact same. Zf2 is slightly shorter, slightly thicker and slightly wider.

I actually find the Zf2 more comfortable in hand for whatever reason.

And for what it's worth, OPO/Zf2 are close in dimensions to 5" G2 while packing a bigger display. They're noticeable taller by about 2 centimeters but very similar otherwise.
[ZenFone 2 General] kensheen:
Dual sim, 64bit, zf2 is newer than opo so more support year. These were the factor for buying zf2 against opo for me
[ZenFone 2 General] ansebovi:
i would say dual sim,x64bit,more internal 20k,SD,more ram[will be used in future a lot]
[ZenFone 2 General] goolac:
Coming from a Galaxy S5 (At&t) with a custom ROM, I wanted something newer. For me it was a dead heat between the OPO and the ZF2.

I saw the red variant 2.3/4/64 on newegg with a free powerpack, and I pulled the trigger. I have had the ZF2 for nearly 2 weeks now. I have to admit. I really love it.

The battery life is nearly identical to my S5. The ZenUI is actually very well done. The bloatware by ASUS is expected and does not get in the way.

The build quality is nearly identical to my S5. BUT the performance is off the chain! I have been very happy with it. OnePlus has announced the Two and it is expected to be released later this year. THAT will be the phone to compare the ZF2 to.

Who knows? The OP2 my be that much better and at that time I may switch but for now the ZF2 has been a solid phone for $300.
[ZenFone 2 General] scottharris4:
Now that the OnePlus One is on sale, is the Zenfone 2 still the better value?
[ZenFone 2 General] jwinckelmann:
In Europe the LTE band 20 is very widely used, the OPO doesn't have it, the ZF2 does. Easy choice...
[ZenFone 2 General] flappjaxxx:
The few negative things I listed still don't make me feel bad about my purchase of the ZF2. The ZF2 is an awesome deal for the money. An unlocked phone with dual sims, nice specs and small price tag is a no brainer. I prefer a more closer to Google experience just didn't want the 6" Nexus. There are some things I don't care for on the OPO. The camera is crap, fortunately I'm not snapping off pics and selfies left and right. I found the ZF2 camera a little less noisy but still not great but better.

---------- Post added at 10:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:13 PM ----------

For me no. For someone with an older phone ready to upgrade, it's a helluva deal. That OPO price drop should generate some sales :D
[ZenFone 2 General] Sammaul:
For me....yes. I think there are some things the OPO does better, but overall I think the ZF2 still wins. Especially as OPO still has yellow display issues that they have never ironed out, and customer support. I know ASUS does not have the best reputation for customer support, but they are still light years ahead of OnePlus. Frankly, if I have an issue with my phone in the first year, I do not want to wait months for a reply or replacement.
[ZenFone 2 General] rlaw:
I think Zf2 is still the better hardware value. More powerful SoC. Faster charging. Better thermal management. Better digitizer. DSDA. Better accessories.

Software wise... The dev scene of OPO rivals Nexus/Galaxy devices and spanks Zf2 every day and twice on Sundays.

Reliability wise ASUS customer support, QA and vendor sourcing are still better than OnePlus'. ASUS is not close to the gold standard in those categories so that should tell you how bad OnePlus is by comparison.
[ZenFone 2 General] glock24:
I have a two year old Blu Life Play (MT6589 quad core A7, 1 GB RAM, 1280x800 4.7" IPS) that has served me well, but it's showing it's age already, so I'm looking at a replacement. I considered the OnePlus One, but I need dual SIM functionality. LTE support is a non-issue, as there is no LTE network currently in my country. Size was a concern, but I bought my wife a Zenfone 5 some time ago and the size is similar to ZF2, it'll get some time to get used to, but it's really not a problem. Anyway, I already ordered my ZF2, it should arrive by the end of the week. I chose it over the OnePlus because of better specs, better performance and dual SIM, on top of that it was cheaper.
[ZenFone 2 General] dan8541:
I think the quick charging on the Asus is a huge advantage.
[ZenFone 2 General] Twotems:
Glad to see you gave it a chance. I've had mine for two months and once I sorted the battery issues it's been superb. I came from the Nubia Z7 and Lenovo K910, both excellent phones but this is a step above.

Comparing it to the One Plus is not Apples to Apples. Dual-sim, SD slot, 4GB 32-128GB phones don't exist. Only the Asus. With worldwide LTE and 3G for $300-400 there's no comparison to anything on the market. People may quibble about certain aspects of any phone but the hardware and functionality of this one is superb.

I have the Nillkin Nature TPU Clear case and it's like having no case at all. You'll find it even more impressive. I bought several types and if you're in the US I'll send you one for free. Anyone who's interested just PM me.
