[ZenFone 2 General] Siddk007:
When you invest on something and it doesn't give the required result, it really feels terrible. Right now, this is the situation with ZF2 users. But still, I have hope on ASUS that they will give 5.1.1 update soon. Hope for the Best!
[ZenFone 2 General] vegasdiceshooter:
Asus released zenfone max today 5000 milli amp battery, I am afraid this is their answer to battery usage, not 5.1.1
[ZenFone 2 General] Capataz:
I wonder what all people, who complain about SOT in ZF2, do when they're screen is on.

But our mileage varies, I guess. Never had a problem with battery life with the ZF2.
[ZenFone 2 General] obscuresword:
Just looked at it and I'm disappointed Asus put a Snapdragon 410 in the thing.
[ZenFone 2 General] Sammaul:
I'm holding out hope for 5.1.1....but if we don't get it by September, mid to late, I'm going to take the hit, sell this, and get the Moto X Pure edition. Can't fault Asus with their continuous firmware updates, good on them for continuing to try. But with the constant news of major vulnerabilities in the various Android versions, I must have a device I know will be supported for a good long while, and Moto is now proving to be king with that regard.
[ZenFone 2 General] Ginuz:
Why people thinks is bad? now is summertime, in winter will not battery drain. If you work in cool place you will never expect battery issue...

Two day is not enough for a smart phone? How had to be supposed battery life? You say me that other smartphone is too long then zf2? Maybe 3 dayz?
[ZenFone 2 General] kanagawaben:
Think people get a bit hung up on the battery life partly because of the way it is reporting it as android OS using a lot, rather than it actually being particularly bad. It certainly isn't fantastic battery life, and is quite variable depending how you use it, but I generally get through a day without recharging and get around 4 to 6 hours SOT. That's on performance mode with Max brightness too. Good enough, certainly better than my old iPhone 5 which used less juice when sleeping but drained fast when screen was on, especially texting, Facebook and camera. So I am OK with the zenfone (Mine is the 550 though). I also think general performance is satisfactory and the camera is passable. Considering the price, I don't think I can have any major complaints. I am still happily enjoying my zenfone everyday :)
[ZenFone 2 General] blazzer12:
And 720x1280 resolution, Adreno 306 to save battery... Can't have it all!
[ZenFone 2 General] obscuresword:
You can if manufactures are thinking lol. Seriously, they could have used the Snapdragon 615 and kept the resolution the same for performance :D. Oh well at least it offers a better value (IMO) compared to the Moto G since it cost like $160.
[ZenFone 2 General] Devhux:
Everyone is entitled to their choice, and I certainly won't fault you for your decision to leave the Zenfone 2 behind.

I'm not a fan of Windows Phone myself, but I will agree it's more efficient than Android, and runs smoother on lower-end hardware. For me though, it just doesn't have the selection of apps I prefer, nor the customization of Android.

Either way, your concerns with the Zenfone 2 are justified, and I can understand why you are getting rid of it. I personally love it, but then again I can live with the battery
[ZenFone 2 General] heviejob:
Personally I share the same sentiments on the ZenFone 2. I came from an Xperia T2 ultra Dual. 6 inch 720p display kitkat and 3000mAH battery and I have to say ZenFone 2 sucks in the battery life department but is flawless operation just rocks. I would get 2 days of battery on a single charge on the T2 ultra with light usage but the phone froze once in a while. Now with the ZenFone 2 551 2gb 16gb, with a 3000 mAH battery i hardly get 8hrs of life on 1 charge. Am forced to look for quick charge 2.0 car charger and travel charger. I left home at 12pm with a full battery and made 3 calls of 10minutes max, replied to this forum and about 30 mins of browsing and 2 and half hrs later it's at 59% WTF!

If it were the Xperia i would have been at 95-90 % on battery.

On a positive side the ZenFone is a performer minus the battery life issue.
[ZenFone 2 General] mnt27:
Maybe I don't understand.... You can run win7 on ZF2??? I'd be interested in that, could you give a link?

Never heard about someone succeeding to do it... Just lot of people willing to... The only solution I've heard about is chrooting linux distros... kinda dirty way to run an OS, in my opinion...
[ZenFone 2 General] dmc888:
Not sure about anyone else but I've had no issues with mine either with battery or beat-up of lollipop (knock on wood). I've had tons of android phones and my last was the galaxy s5, this zf2 has exceeded all my expectations and the battery life is about the same as my s5. For the price, this phone packs a punch, if anyone wants the perfect phone then you'll probably be spending twice or three times the price and I'm sure you'll pick something wrong with that phone also but now it's an 800 dollar phone instead of 299 ?

I'm Rooted, So I can't update via System Update on my phone...

I tried Samsung kies 3 and even it's up to date software It's still saying that my firmware is the latest...

but I don't think It's latest because many of us had recent update on 4.4.4 and sammobile upload some updates for 4.4.4 recently.

I don't know how to update it manually using Odin and I don't know where I could find my specific file to update my phone...

here's my screenshot of my "About Device", I think this could help to track my firmware on sammobile though I don't know how to read it and search for the file...

Please help... I want an update at least for 4.4.4 and It might be a little help for my phone to run smoothly than before...

Test your camera, see if it still works. Seems like the back camera is the weakest link to the phone so if that's still working, chances are it is fine.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spark91:
Like most people on here, I use CM12.1, But I have an unrooted official OF5 nandroid. I always nandroid back to do PRL and Profile updates and then do a clean install of CM12.1

What I saw was a bunch of "/!" Triangle errors when I connected to wifi and my google. Screenies are in attachments.

What error is this and should I be worried, first time EVER I've gotten this and it has never happened before when doing a nandroid to update PRL and Profile.

Doing some research most RPC:X-X:AEC-X errors points to google having the problems. But when I switched back to CM12.1, all is fine so I don't think Google is the problem.

Idea's?

Hello.

I just got a new phone and I'm trying to import my Facebook Contacts into other programs, GoSms being one of them.

I've looked around on this forum and Google, but I haven't found a way to get this accomplished.

I've also tried various Apps from Google Store, but nothing has worked.

My phone is an Alcatel Onetouch Idol 3, and my Android version is 5.0.2.

Is there a way to get this done? Or am I stuck?

I haven't rooted yet, mainly because I've never attempted it and kinda gun shy about trying it.

Thanks for any help.

A2DP works great when playing mp3 files with WMP. However when playing m4a files the phone switches automatically back to the phone speaker. :confused: Once an mp3 file is played again, it will switch back to the BT headset. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Also, is there a plugin for WMP to recognize the id tags of m4a files?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jskit:
are you using windows media player to play the m4a?

it happened to me back to wm5 time while i was using the windows media player

,it just act like yours.

if you use 3rd party program such as tcpmp. it will play m4a via A2DP just fine. it's a problem of pocket media player.

Yes, I am using WMP. I've used tcpmp but is is pretty cumbersome to select files when you have to many. It does not have the options to select by artist, abum, etc...
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Squalll13:
Hi folks,

I've read an article on AFTVnews about Factory Resetting the Fire TV and I have been meaning to do that for some time now (An app I love, Mobdro, just force closes on me for some reason since last month and the devs can't help me at all) but the drawbacks (disabling ADB, turning OTA updates back on again) is scaring me a bit.

Is there any other way to completely wipe my FireTV of all data/cache/system files/ etc but keep my OS, ADB enabled, rooted, and OTA updates disabled (can't block from router, using pm.disable currently). Also, is there any other complications that may arise if I wipe it out. Like for example, busybox and towelroot will get removed.

My FireTV has the latest pre-rooted rom, it has recovery installed and I think the bootloader is partially unlocked

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kimnatalie:
So I bought a phone with a cracked screen, replaced the digitizer and screen. Then unlocked it and rooted, flashed a rom, etc. It's a Verizon phone and wanted to put it on Pageplus. Somewhere along the way... I've screwed it up by flashing the wrong ROM. The phone is a SCH-i605v. I've flashed international version of GT-N7100 on it. I did try to go the support route... thinking the broadband and imei were just wiped out somehow. The professional online service told me it was trashed. Well... considering they also said they have never seen a phone that still boots wiped out this bad... I'm not doing too bad. I just have a Tablet with no phone functions at this point. Now... I'm thinking there is always a way... it's just finding the one person who has the knowledge to fix it. Anyone out there like a challenge?

I would really appreciate any insight into this. I'm perfectly willing to take it to Samsung if that's required... but it's an hour drive away so I'm dragging my feet on it since the girl put me on hold and never came back. For some reason that just pisses me off... they need to hire better phone people.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antonioeram:
Hello all

Since two days ago I have an enormous problem with the Note 4 (SM-N910C, 5.0.1, baseband N910CXXU1BOC3, KERNEL 3.10.9-4456638)

1. it started to lose mobile data connectivity. Jumping to 4G to no data and back. As today, it stopped to do this (after the hard reset)

2. phone is constantly at 50 C temperature. and getting hotter if I use it for calling or internet . Because of this the battery is discharging at a very high rate ~10% every 1/2 hour without using the phone. I am using 2 batteries with the same result (so is not a battery issue)

3. When making regular calls, using mobile network (NOT VoIP, WhatsApp, etc.) I have to

- call the number like 3 - 4 times to get the connection

- I can hear the party I call, but they are telling me they cannot hear anything from me or strange noises.

- connection drops after 10 seconds

I have made a hard reset and changed the SIM card.

There are NO apps installed over stock.

All this started suddenly.

What should I do. Is there are reason this happens. I will take it to Samsung service of course, but I was looking for a second opinion,

Thank you

You Bought Local Variant that's Available in your Country or Import From Other Regions???

Some Time The Other Region Model Does Not Perform Well for Some Carriers Due To the Change in Band Frequencies....

If You Still Not Rooted & Your Knox Counter is 0x0 than You Should Contact with Samsung Service...

If You Tripped Knox than Try To Flash Different Official Firmware ..Obviously If you Import than Firmware Must be for Your Local Region Where You are Now...

There are Also Some Thread Available Which Have Knox 0x0 While To Flash Other Stock Rom...

After HBO updated their Now app to have Chromecast support, I took the plunge and signed up... only to find out that the app does not work on rooted devices. Are there any ways to hide root status that don't involve using xposed? I'm guessing not, but I figured I might as well ask. I was hoping that there'd be a general "cast" button in the app, and that I could just shoot video to my Nexus Player that way, subverting the attempt to play the video on my phone/ tablet (and thus, not being blocked due to being rooted), but I see no casting button anywhere in the app, so I assume it can only be done once the video has started playback. Which I can't do, because of being rooted... @_@

I fear that by dropping my phone too many times I may have dislodged the WiFi antenna somehow. The WiFi reception on it has gotten steadily worse over the last few months and eventually got to the point where I have to more or less be about 10-20 feet away from the AP in order to be sure it will work. Updating to WM6 seems to have made this worse, so I think it's some confluence of software and hardware issues, but I want to make sure I can fix the hardware issues at least.

How can I get this fixed? Are there good Hermes (Cingular 8525) hardware disassembly/reassembly instructions somewhere? Does anyone else have this problem with WiFi reception?
