Still loving the phone, finding new things and really like the OS.

Has anyone found any asus software for your PC, other than PC Link?

Also any guides out there on what bloatware can safely be removed, specifically regarding the battery usage, not so much the memory as the phone is blazing fast!

Also I need a decent car cradle that will take the phone with flip cover open and folded back and a fast car charger, be grateful for any recommendations please.

Thank you

[ZenFone 2 General] PJBXDA:
Thanks Chubby. I'm looking more for a guide of what the apps are, memory and battery usage etc.

As I said I really like the OS as is, but just want the unnecassary bloatware removed. For example I don't need reminding of the weather every few hours, I can look out the window!

My update went straight through fine. Also does anyone have any idea when we'll be getting 5.1?
[ZenFone 2 General] bulat42:
11
[ZenFone 2 General] chubby65:
Os is much better than most

Can't really tell you about the bloatware because I've deleted most of it

As for 5.1 can't see it being too long with the amount of updates Asus keeps rolling out

After using the phone for the last week still can't believe how buttery smooth it is

Just like to see better battery life but loving the quick charge
[ZenFone 2 General] PJBXDA:
Thanks again chubby, so even after rooting and removing the bloatware you are still suffering battery issues. Mine seems OK but could be better. Been using the dual SIM so needed the odd top up during the day but overall I think the phone is excellent. Of course everyone says that about their new phone but normally after a week or so that depletes, not with this phone for me!
[ZenFone 2 General] chubby65:
Not really makes much difference without the bloatware

I'VE been using both sim slots too and give it a top up about teatime but i used to do that with the oneplus

Normally i start getting bored with a new phone after a week but this one still keeps throwing out nice surprises

[ZenFone 2 General] base_band5:
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I purchased my ZF2 from eBay via a Hong Kong reseller. Now the phone has issues ie. everytime I receive a phone call, the screen freezes. It doesn't register my screen touches. Looks like a hardware issue. My question is how do I raise a support issue with Asus? I've looked on Asus UK and they want an Invoice which I don't have. So what do I do? I've registered my ZF2 through Asus World rather than Asus UK. I still don't think Asus UK sell the product in the UK, so no chance of them having a look at it!
[ZenFone 2 General] gsmyth:
How long ago did you buy it? Have you tried making contact with the ebay seller/reseller to request a copy of your invoice?
[ZenFone 2 General] base_band5:
Bought it in May 2015, seller doesn't reply. I did register with Zenfone Worldwide with the serial number. I know what the answer will be from Asus UK - as it's a grey import they won't support it even with the invoice but will ask them anyway.
[ZenFone 2 General] gsmyth:
Thats a shame man, I'm guessing you've tried all the usual stuff like wiping and reflashing factory images?
[ZenFone 2 General] base_band5:
:( yep tried all that - set it back to factory settings after reflashing Stock fw, still no joy. Expensive device that doesn't do what it says on the packet! May be Trading Standards could suggest something but as it's a grey import not sure if there's any comeback on Asus UK!

I do not find smartphones to be as efficient as they could be. I hate typing on glass for one. And keyboard devices get treated with horrid internals.

But my Blackberry Classic propels forward. I go to use my note 4 and cringe. It's rich in all areas but input, Can't use swipe unless you have predictive text on and it constantly "auto" corrects my words and misspell and swipe is better but still not ideal.

either way I'm getting to a point I don't even want a "smart phone" anymore. If you disable predictive text you lose ability to swype......pathetic! I said **** not duck! Or is not on.

If you want to say **** instead of duck save it to the keyboard's dictionary.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xanmato:
Try Swiftkey. The prediction is very accurate, the only times it misses for me is when I mess up, overshooting or sloppy swiping. It's a learning prediction engine, so any 'mistakes' you believe it makes will quickly be fixed. I have used it so much that Swiftkey can pretty much predict entire sentences, with variations. Most of the time I just type the starting word, and Swiftkey magically gives 3 suggestions for the next word, which one of them is the correct one 95% of the time.

For 'custom' words that get changed to 'duck', all you have to do is set spacebar completion mode to 'always insert a space' (In advanced options). Once that is on, if you find a word that Swiftkey autocorrects incorrectly, all you have to do is manually type the word twice, completing the words with the spacebar. Swiftkey will learn the word and swiping will correctly use that word from then on, and even use it in suggestions.

Also, predictive text is kind of required in order to use swiping, otherwise I am sure you would quickly realize a lot of words would be hard to type, such as 'apple'.

Hi Mokum020,

It looks amazing. But (theres always a but :)

The path to the templates is sdcard/zooperwidget/templates

Zooper is really, really slow (not sure if thats normal)

When I unpack your zip (with es file explorer) I get file corrupted in zooper, it does load the widget though

I cant get it to scale correctly (thats prolly my fault I think?) See picture.

When I force it to scale to 100 it only shows a part of the widget

Did I mention the fact that zooper is really slow already?

Cheers,

Micha

Hi guys,

Just got an Ameo (love it to bits already!) and couldnt find messenger on it anywhwere. I duly called T-Mobile customer service who told me it had to be downloaded. Wierdly you cant actually download it - just use the rather ropey web based beta! So me being me I decided to hunt the 'windows' diretcory, and lo and behold it was there.. so I created a shortcut on the start menu and voila! Of course the server for live messenger seems to have gone down so I cant try it (doesnt work on my exec so it isnt theh Ameo version at least!).
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Calavaro:
Or you could have navigated to "Pocket MSN" on your device and made the selection from there ;)

Seems like T-Mobile needs a tutorial on this device. The quality of support seems to be getting worse and worse.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Anton.Valleyman:
My experience is that, with the exception of GPRS / MMS settings, no company know anything about how XDA phones work. Which I suppose in some ways is to be expected, they are a niche market - or were until recently, at least.

Other than ringing T-Mob about my MMS settings, I've never rung them - or O2 for my Xda, Xda2, Xda2i or XDA Exec. It's just a waste of a phone call for the most part. Best stick to Xda-Dev and the other few places where the real knowledge resides.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SanttV:
Anyone noticed something similar?

Sometimes when unlocking phone with the unlock button or by double tapping it wakes up but is unresponsive to touch, the brightness alters with random intervals, wallpaper flickers. The phone becomes usable again after a few locks and unlocks with the button , although very rarely but still sometimes it automatically locks itself after unlocking.

Factory reset didn't help and before that I was using all the latest updates.

Is this a problem on the hardware side?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr. Bogenbroom:
Pretty sure mine is. It started with similar issues and has only gotten worse. Flexing the phone a bit makes the screen go all wonky and it's the only way I can get it to come on/become responsive. I will more than likely have to send it in to Sony. Ugh.

Idk wth all that means.

Hopefully it doesn't happen again.
[Moto 360] Faspaiso:
Hi

I slept with the watch on for 9 hours. It was at 86% when I feel asleep and 66% when I woke up.

Flightmode - On

Ambient Screen - Off

Wake when lifting arm - On

Is this normal? It just seems a lot for me, when the watch is doing 'nothing'. My Samsung Gear 2, barely lose a percentage over a night.

Thanks in advance
[Moto 360] kgeissler:
I say yes... I loose about 3-4% an hour for normal use
[Moto 360] nijom:
happens.

if I leave my watch ON throughout the night, there will be 10-15% drop by morning.

so I started to charge it fully and turn it OFF before going to bed
[Moto 360] chaco81:
so, a watch with 320mah battery lost 20% in 9 hrs.....

so the watch consumed about 2.2% an hour, or about 7.1mah draw an hr.....

thats not bad... consider that 7mah draw is almost nothing since most devices today (phone, tablets, etc) at full speed can easily use about 700-1200mah an hr....
[Moto 360] Faspaiso:
They always have way more to use battery on.

When my watch is idle, it should ONLY remember time. It was even on flight mode, so no BT searchign.

My Gear 2 have a 300 mah battery and I can easily use it 3-4 days in a row, if not more. As I only use it to check notifications. There is so much on the Moto 360 that is using the battery, that you do not need. There are 3 (most used) ways to wake the screen. Touch, button or lifting arm.

I would be happy to disable the touch, as it uses more battery, as the screen always need to be ready to get touched. Also heard users complain about the HRM going on and off even with Moto and Google fit disabled.

Whoever posted that really has no idea about how the Hermes works, the ROM has no bearing on reception....the radio stack is responsible for coverage issues. Black Shadow is far superior to dymond as it is very stable and supports the latest SDHC cards as a bonus.

Try updating your radio stack first, give 1.43.00.00 a try.

Found it here is what you do This is a permanent fix for Samsung Galaxy S5 firmware locked by Rent-A-Center . Should also fix S5 phones locked by computrance absolute software .

This does not unlock your network carrier.

1. PLEASE READ ALL THE STEPS FIRST and ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU ARE NOT CLEAR.

2. Download Odin3_v3.09

3. Download TWRP or any other custom recovery of your choice.

4. Run Odin and flash TWRP or any other custom recovery of your choice to your phone. This will set KNOX security flag to 1, meaning no more warranty for the phone if you send it to Samsung to repair something else. Follow this http://www.droidviews.com/install-twrp-recovery-samsung-galaxy-s5/ or watch this

5. Boot into custom recovery ( with phone off, press and hold Volume Up and Home keys while turning on the phone ) and Wipe -> Advanced wipe -> Wipe System, Dalvik, Cache and Data. This will erase everything on the phone. No need to do ROM back up as we have Stock ROM available for this model to go back if needed. Your choice.

6. Go to Advanced -> Terminal Command -> hit "Select"

7. Type in these 2 commands:

8. mke2fs /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/persdata

9. dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/persdata

10. Go back to the Home screen of the custom recovery. Wipe -> Factory reset.

11. Reboot

12. You can flash stock software for SM-G900T back into the phone. Please be aware that if the original software of the phone is 4.4 , you can flash any software newer than 4.4 . If it is 5.0 , you can only flash any software newer than 5.0
