I'm comparing the two phones and am leaning strongly toward the zenfone.

My personal tick sheet has each with two major advantages and two minor ones.

For the ZF2:

Price (major)

Availability (major)

NFC (minor)

Quick Charge (minor)

For the OP2:

Camera (major)

Better Native Android Skin (major)

Band 12 (minor)

Better Finish (minor)

Only thing holding me back is CM12.1 (which I assume I'll use over the native UI on the ZF). Namely I need to be comfortable that CM plays nice with both SIMs, both cameras, and the GPS.

anyway, I'd really like to hear everyone's thoughts comparing the two phones. It'll help me solidify my thoughts.
[ZenFone 2 General] markwebb:
For the price it is a good option. Your tic points are good. Downside is average but capable camera (pics are inconsistent and tend to be overexposed) and battery life is not very good. Phone is a tad heavier than others.
[ZenFone 2 General] cmendonc2:
My thoughts:

Camera of OP2 is definitely better.

ZF2 now has CM12.1 so the skin is irrelevent.

ZF2 actually does have Band 12 support (as shown by screenshots of people in CA)

OP2 finish is to die for :good: :D

This is where I'm getting my info: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91av8wCH7CI
[ZenFone 2 General] IW4N93:
zenfone 2 will be as good as OP2 if asus bring android 5.1.1 as soon as possible before OP2 available in the market or CM 12.1 become stable and official, but if zenfone 2 too late to do that i'm sure many people will sell their zenfone 2 and replace it with definitely better OP2

No SD card and no quick charge are a major issue. Otherwise great phone!.
[ZenFone 2 General] ElmirBuljubasic:
Yup, zf2 is my first phone with quick charging, i'll never buy a phone without this feature

[ZenFone 2 General] cas8180:
Agreed bow that I am used to quick charging it would be very hard to go without it. Unless the phone just had insane battery life so charging was never really an issue. But a botched ota can change all that in an instant.
[ZenFone 2 General] Mononon:
I'm with other people here. The quick charging has really changed how I charge my phone. I can't imagine a phone without it anymore.
[ZenFone 2 General] Sammaul:
Love my ZenFone 2.... but frankly I think Moto X seriously deserves mention. Frankly I think it is a better phone overall than either the ZenFone or One Plus Two. And for $399 USD.... wow.

---------- Post added at 03:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:54 PM ----------

Should mention I base this on spec sheet and Moto's reputation for stock Android and quick updates. I'm sure the X will get M before everyone else.
[ZenFone 2 General] Hudrator:
Just to complete the list:

OPO 2 is announced with 4 GB LPDDR4 RAM against LPDDR3 in our ZF2

Dealbreacker for me is SD810. As long as OPO hasn't shown that they are the first to deal with the enormous heat.
[ZenFone 2 General] glock24:
You should note the OP2 has no microSD slot, so the 16GB version might not cut it.
[ZenFone 2 General] Buk-Lau:
I think your biggest concern should be availability and customer service. spec wise, it's a give and take on both sides, while the 1+2 is definitely winning, you might wanna consider when you can get it and how long you are gonna use it for. 1+2 isn't available for sale until 2 weeks later, and you never know when you can get an invite or so. the zenfone 2 on the other end is available anytime you want. in the long run, if you experience any issues, chances are asus will probably provide you better and quicker support whereas oneplus can take quite some time. it's your choice, and I'm simply here to advise you that you look broader, beyond the simple price/perf ratio.
[ZenFone 2 General] filterxg:
I've just ordered a zf2. I do want dual sim, and finding out it is compatible with band 12 put it over the top.
[ZenFone 2 General] devsk:
Its more like ZF2 vs. OP2 vs Moto X Pure Edition

I am holding out for Moto X Pure Edition, mostly because I am not convinced of the Asus build and its battery life. Things I lose out on are 3GB vs 4GB RAM in ZF2 and 16GB vs 64GB built in storage, but I gain front facing stereo speakers.

Moto phones are always built stronger than every other manufacturer out there. I have dropped my moto G many times and it keeps going, while my Samsung S4 shattered all over the place with one fall. So, I am paying extra for that.

Things which might have an issue for Moto X Pure Edition are small battery (3000mah is last generation) and higher resolution (1440p) screen. Both of these things don't bode well for battery longevity, but we will see. Hopefully, it can still last a day!

On paper, the camera on Moto X is definitely a BIG step up from ZF2, with a bigger sensor and larger aperture.

Exciting times...we will know more when the Moto X is actually in the hands of some folks.
[ZenFone 2 General] pato2015:
I will go towards motorala x too....:)..im not saying zenfone 2 bad..but when you accidentally drop this..you will really gonna cry :) regarding support..i dont there good too..look at there beta program..no ones manning it...thats a simple case yet they totally forgot...
[ZenFone 2 General] Induced_Apathy:
Band 12 on ZF2? WW firmware has it already or band unlocker?
[ZenFone 2 General] glock24:
I've dropped mine from like 5 or 6 times from various heights already, no damage done at all, even after landing on the corner. I have it with Asus' bumper case though.
[ZenFone 2 General] godgib:
what band 12 is everyone taking about T-mo 700Mhz band 12.. Or did someone get confused with band 17 (700MHZ). I'm in Tampa and have t-mo phones that are getting band 12... My ZF2 doen't have band 12. It's got to be some kind of unlocker/

[ZenFone 2 General] AkiroX:
They're on different price brackets, they shouldn't be compared.

But if you think the better camera and metal edges are worth 89$ then by all means buy it.

I think the Moto X 2015 is a better choice though. Great specs, 21mp camera, NFC, 1440p screen and front facing speakers.

Yes it's original Asus. Got it from B&H Photo. It fits really nice, most people that see the phone don't realize it's got a case and think it's part of the phone.

I have only seen all the articles where it says it doesn't. Can you enlighten us to where you have seen it does. No NFC as well, while no issue to me, it will be a big issue to a lot of people.
[ZenFone 2 General] cliffr39:
The OnePlus 2 is very similar to the ZTE Axon Pro (just about the same size and weight and both 4gb, Snapdragon 810, and 5.5" screens). Of those two I like the ZTE - easier to get your hands on and has fast charging. So, with that I'm trying to decide between the ZTE and the ZenFone 2
[ZenFone 2 General] mrcamp:
Yeah. I have that case as well, and got it from B&H photo. It fits perfectly.
[ZenFone 2 General] Capataz:
Quick Charge is not a minor thing, in my opinion.

If OP2 has no Quick Charge then it's ZF2 all the way.
[ZenFone 2 General] AKman1984:
Zenfone 2 all the way :p
[ZenFone 2 General] gontie:
Quick charge is so destroying your battery that i don't think it is so important...
[ZenFone 2 General] cliffr39:
Why do you think k it is destroying? I think it puts it a bit more in line with laptop charging speeds. These are small batteries compared and really shouldn't take several hours.
[ZenFone 2 General] Capataz:
Ah yeah, and smartphones emit enough radiation to mutate your DNA, right?
[ZenFone 2 General] glock24:
Now that the oppo2 is out and some reviews were published, I can say with certainty that the ZF2 is superior, better features and even better battery life.

[Moto X General] gvayl:
Hi,

I have read several threads on rooting and downgrading. I guess I just want to know if I understand the correctly.

Issue: Did OTA update and now the phone drops calls and spontaneously restarts.

Goal: Fix the problem, maybe by downgrading back to 5.02 maybe?

Research: Downgrading not an option because of the firmware has been updated with v5.1 and going back to 5.02 may brick the phone.

Questions:

1. Is downgrading still not an option?

2. What can I do to resolve some of my issues? Try factory reset? Wipe phone and start from scratch?

3. I'm trying to help a friend out, they are with AT&T. I have usually dealt with T-Mobile and SIM cards with my Nexus 5 which has served me wonderfully. What nuances with re-configuring the phone once I either downgrade(if that becomes an option) or do a factory reset will I potentially run into.

Thanks in advance!
[Moto X General] KidJoe:
Because of the risks, I advise to NOT Downgrade. There is a thread link in my signature that FULLY explains why.. Its is a good read, especially since I'm sure you're going to get some posts here saying "its safe to downgrade"

If you are having issues, best to factory reset and erase cache. DO NOT restore apps/data. Manually configure the phone.

NOTE: keep in mind a factory reset will wipe the phone's /sdcard contents so you'll lose pix, music, downloads, etc.

Hi all,

I am not able to enter in recovery mode after a mistaken deletion from partitions /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 and /dev/block/mmcblk0p26 which I belive in Optimus G is persist (since I lost my wifi and network signal) and tombstones partitions. Neither my sdcard mount.

I already tried to restore through odin , lg software tool but it does not recognize my phone when I connect on PC even thought all usb drivers installed and I am able to acess adb tools and shell recognizing my device when I plug into pc. Now I am stuck on a system without recovery mode, internet, sdcard, signal and when I try to flash a new ROM or recovery with adb it does not recognize the recovery partition and when I tried to create the persist partition it says that the device (/dev/block/mmcblk0p25) does not exist. Does anybody knows if I am able to mount recovery again or how to solve this? Any guesses?

It was never my intention to waste your time and I am sorry if you felt that way.

Last day I was able to enter in advance recovery method! I do not know exactly how it happened once I had tried the same combination of buttons several times but a curious thing was that it happened when I was trying to use kingoroot check it. Maybe it installed some drivers automatic when identify the phone , I don't know =/

but next time I tried to started the phone in recovery mode it was not a black screen and since I entered in this mode I used lg flash tool to flash a kdz file!

Flash the recovery Backup you made before flashing 5.1.1 and use another backup tool.

[XDA Assist] SlipMat:
Hi All

I hope this is the right forum, but am now at my wits end...

I have a UK Galaxy S4 (GT-i9505)... it was factory unlocked and I tested this by trying an EE SIM and a Tesco's SIM (O2) before buying and all seemed good and I made outbound calls on both networks.

Anyway I upgraded via Kies to the current Lollipop ROM (5.0.1) and immediately couldn't always make calls on EE - so as it worked sometimes and not others I suspected that the SIM tray was failing (especially as I was getting 'No SIM card' error ocassionally). So I ordered a new SIM tray and replaced the old one last night - but still have the same error.

Last night it was working on Tesco (O2) and not on EE... then after a reboot it was suddenly all working and so I assumed it was a glitch, but I have played about with it a bit more today and sometimes both SIMs work and sometimes only the Tesco (O2) one works. When I put the EE SIM in it doesnt ask me for a network pin - it usually says "not activated on network". The only consistent thing is the O2 SIM seems to work all the time. When the EE SIM is inserted, the "No SIM Card" message does disappear - so I am sure it is seeing the EE SIM OK. Also - the EE SIM is my main carrier and is working with no problems in my EE locked Galaxy S4 running KitKat - so I am happy that the SIM is OK!

I have checked the IMEI number on Swappa and it shows as not blacklisted and indeed describes the handset as an unlocked S4.

Can anyone help? I cant be 100% sure but I think that when I had KitKat ROM loaded it did on one or two ocassions give a SIM error but this just supported my thought that the SIM tray was faulty. It is only now that I am at a loss :(

Just for info, here is the other info about the handset;

BB - I9505XXUHOD5

Kernel - 3.4.0-3996895 / dpi@SWDD5610#1 / Wed Apr 15 20:54:31 2015

Build - LRX22C.I9505XXUKOD5

First things first... I've never had root or flashed. I've done research but can't seem to take all the information in correctly and scared of bricking. I've found guides but second guess myself on if it's the right way for this particular phone. I've read about flashing with odin and also read you can flash without a computer. I actually could care less about flashing but the only reason I want to isnbecause I bought my girlfriend a tmo s4 and updated the software to 4.4.4 and now the MHL and hotspot don't work. Now I just want to flash back to a previous android version that mhl and hotspot work on. No custom ROM just 100% stock android. I've read about custom recovery to do this also. Unless theirs a stock lollipop out for this phone I can flash to with working mhl and hotspot I'll do that. Can someone please help or guide me to the right direction? I'm not computer or phone newb just a newb to all the rooting and flashing. I'm just the type of person who needs good assistance on things like this. Thanks

Maybe I should have detailed things more. When I bought the phone it was not on 4.4.4 and not sure what it was on but it had already been factory reset and everything worked fine.
