Maybe an issue with FOTA system coz if i said it's a beta, trust me it's a beta :) (you need a draw to understand ? :p)
[ZenFone 2 General] onesky:
i got also the OTA updated and i am not a beta tester
[ZenFone 2 General] gontie:
Me too, the issue about the battery drain "seems to be fixed" by removing again all systems apps, i kept two applications, the one for the pictures edition (photocollage) et movie maker of Asus.

We will see, i does still see currently only Android OS in the battery use...

What a famous bug in the Asus people if they release a beta version to production people....
[ZenFone 2 General] ElmirBuljubasic:
No, where do you see thats beta or public?
[ZenFone 2 General] stefanthehuman:
Does anyone actually have proof that we are getting 5.1.1 in August?

Sorry not to go off topic..

But on topic maybe they are pushing some fixes out before the 5.1.1 hits to prep the users?
[ZenFone 2 General] jaysus145:
Yes, I do.

Maybe this build is a recently approved beta?
[ZenFone 2 General] gipikay:
If they made public a beta, that's a very big screw up ( the new version number seems odd )

Holding the update until we get more info, but people on ZenTalk are complaining about heating screens or speaker... that's new
[ZenFone 2 General] ppllpp:
I have the heating screen and speaker problem since i got it.
[ZenFone 2 General] atahanali_57:
Is anyone tried to disable stock asus apps?
[ZenFone 2 General] Level99:
Fairly certain this is public. I'm not enrolled in any beta program whatsoever and I was able to grab the update. Applying it now.
[ZenFone 2 General] ilos:
take a look at my group on Zentalk forum ( same nickname ) and you will understand...

I think FOTA server is screw up...it's not an approved Beta...

So again, take care using it...
[ZenFone 2 General] alex.o:
I disabled a lot of the stock apps and went to run a new antutu benchmark to see if there is a difference. Mine usually gets 478xx. The phone reminded me to switch to performance mode when the antutu app launched. I didn't realize I had switched away from it in the battery settings. I didn't disable zen UI as mentioned earlier in the thread, but I do want to know what happens if it is disabled.

My Antutu scores weren't any different from before. I thought it may improve some with so many apps disabled and more ram available.
[ZenFone 2 General] Level99:
So it looks like this specific update also does some recategorizing of apps in the battery area. I too only see Android OS as the single entry in the battery stats. (Well, I'll give ASUS credit: that's one way to mask the problem).

Not having any screen or speaker warmth outside of normal operating conditions during the previous update.
[ZenFone 2 General] Fed4Lyfe:
Is anyone having difficulties with low call volume? I would have hoped that 5.1.1 update would fix it, but it isn't here yet. errrr
[ZenFone 2 General] Level99:
Aha, read this post to see specific app battery usage details:

http://www.asus.com/zentalk/forum.php?mod=redirect&goto=findpost&ptid=26111&pid=156817

While it does show stat bars, the percents are all zeroed out. Not sure what's going on there.
[ZenFone 2 General] tiffanyburb:
I believe this update was pushed because it thankfully patches the Stagefright vulnerability.
[ZenFone 2 General] dakunclear:
battery life hasn't changed for me but ram management seems better
[ZenFone 2 General] Akashami03:
Yeah, how to install that OTA.zip.. I rooted, unlocked, Twrp installed, in stock right now 2.19.40.22...... Should I flash normally in twrp, or something different like sideload......please help me, am new to tjis,......Thankyou
[ZenFone 2 General] oxydius7:
Stagefright isn't fixed with that latest update. See for yourself with Stagefright Detector App on the Play store.
[ZenFone 2 General] jmp24:
First unroot, push recovery stock, and install update for any Method.

Xposed uninstall if you have.
[ZenFone 2 General] tiffanyburb:
I have checked. Stagefright Detector by Lookout Mobile Security shows no vulnerability after update.

Stagefright Detector by Zimperium detects a vulnerability, however, it also detects a vulnerability on the latest google stock (LMY48I).

Something is amiss.

Edit: Zimperium has been updated--seems Asus has not in fact patched all attack vectors for stagefright.
[ZenFone 2 General] Delgadovsky:
Well,i also got the update... My questions are:

I have root with click root tool and in 'Asus Zenfone 2 | Resources all in one thread' are written that "

If you root via METHOD 3 you CAN UPDATE VIA OTA/NO BOOTLOOPS AND UN-ROOTING BEFORE APPLYING ANY OTA IS NOT NECESSARY

. However,many of users in this threat are saying that is necessary unroot first and unfreeze app. So, should i unroot first and unfreeze app or not need? And if i update with root, it will remain? Many thanks
[ZenFone 2 General] kanagawaben:
Very interested in what happens if you disable ZenUI (but who is brave enough to try it?) :)
[ZenFone 2 General] jamehthebunneh:
I also used the Method 3 to root and it specifically said unrooting not necessary for OTA. So has anyone tried the OTA without unrooting first after using Method 3? Curious if I should bother unrooting first. :confused:
[ZenFone 2 General] skoolkaholic:
I've done it (I thought it was zenlauncher) lol. no bootloop, just it became very laggy in zenlauncher
[ZenFone 2 General] Buk-Lau:
I wonder what happens if you just disable everything zenui, like zenUI services, zenUI launcher and more zenUI related crap
[ZenFone 2 General] Capataz:
For rooted phones, you have to do all this just so you could OTA?
[ZenFone 2 General] tso4ev:
I don't unroot just put the stock recovery and update I didn't have exposed ..
[ZenFone 2 General] Ratedzelaya:
I flashed stock reovery, uninstalled busybox, unrooted flashed the update but didn't boot, i forgot to uninstall xposed. Did exposed prevent it from booting. Going back to .22 with fastboot
[ZenFone 2 General] tso4ev:
yes I think so
[ZenFone 2 General] harpreet.s:
I had root/xposed installed. I removed xposed and other apps which make changes in system directory like busybox. Kept root and freezed apps as it is , sideloaded update without any issues.

Anyone?
[ZenFone 2 General] pyroshroom:
My phone is rooted using Method 3, and I successfully updated through the OTA update without unrooting (On the stock recovery, my bootloader is unlocked as well). Root was maintained after the update.

Autostart manager being set to deny everything was annoying though, but I reset everything to allowed again.
[ZenFone 2 General] Ratedzelaya:
went back to .22 but don't get .58 update anymore. Also does method 3 no need to unroot work if you don't unroot.
[ZenFone 2 General] harpreet.s:
Yes. But I had some issues with Button saviour app. It will get root access but back button didn't worked. So i reinstalled root.

Is Android OS still consuming so much battery ?
[ZenFone 2 General] mickey36736:
Download file. Change name to MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip

Move into MicroSD card. (external storage)

Reboot to recovery and it will automatically start install new firmware.

OR

Download file from PC. Change name to UL-Z00A-WW-2.20.40.58-user.zip (ze551ml)

UL-Z008-WW-2.20.40.40-user.zip (ze550ml)

Put file into your phone in internal storage.

Unplug usb cable and your phone should have notification say System update file detect.

Tap and update it.

Yeah, so many ways to manual update firmware.

Same here, error with both methods while trying to update through stock recovery. Before I was accidentially trying to update through twrp which obviously failed. Now, I can't seem to update anymore. Has anyone discovered a solution to this specific problem?
[ZenFone 2 General] stephtban:
Here is what i did:

0- have correct drivers installed on computer

1- download ota zip

2- open a command prompt where the file was downloaded

3- in cmd window: adb reboot recovery

3-1- if you see a robot with "error" on your phone, hold power and hit volume up ... now you see stock recovery menu

4- choose "apply update from adb"

5- In cmd: adb sidload "name of ota zip" without quotes and with the exact name of the file you downloaded

6- wait for the update to apply

7- reboot

7-1-eventually wipe cache if you have new problems or force closes

are you on asus beta? i wonder if non beta user got ota for version 2.20.40.5818.ww 550ml model...because this update is for beta user only .....just wondering ty :)

---------- Post added at 02:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:16 PM ----------

i notice no need to write mof update....i just the downloaded update file on internal drive....and went to recovery ..it just detected it.... :)
[ZenFone 2 General] Level99:
Ok. Seriously. What is with all these people coming in saying that this OTA is "Beta only"? The evidence is right in front of you: people who've never enrolled in the Beta program are getting this OTA. 550 and 551. It's not something we can't talk about. It may be something YOU can't talk about if you're in the Beta program and they're also issuing this version, but maybe your version is different from this one OR they released it to public without telling you all.

Quit it with saying we can't talk about an update that we got in the public realm.

Actual info on my experience so far: Battery life seems slightly better on the whole. Considerably better on standby, marginally improved SoT. Signal seems improved a tiny bit in my area.
[ZenFone 2 General] GalaxyFan88:
Thanks for your instructions. I tried your method, unfortunately the recovery log tells me, while verifying the build.prop file, that there is something wrong with it - and aborts the installation.

Thanks for letting me know. I took the plunge this morning, (was rooted with Method 3, stock recovery, no Xposed, stock bootloader untouched) and the OTA update went fine (initiated from the system's update notification, no sideloading). Retained root, no boot loops or anything, everything's working smoothly afterwards!

Can't comment on any improvements in battery or performance yet, only time will tell. :fingers-crossed:

I accidentally chose "no" in ASUS system update notification after i checked for update. Then i check it again but i could find any update. after i chose NO, i cant download update via ota.

For all those who have rooted and installed xposed framework on their stock zenui rom and want to apply the latest ota, just complete unroot from supersu, reboot and then double click removexposedframework.bat from xposedinstallation folder in pc , wait for reboot and then uninstall xposed installer.apk normally.

They may have pulled the update. Supposedly it was the beta version and not a regular public release version. Who knows. I downloaded the .zip and installed it manually.

My BT is better also. Before I was getting crackling noise like the old days of BT 2.0. Now it's more clear on headsets and my car.
[ZenFone 2 General] smokinjoe2122:
I didn't have any issues either with being rooted, busybox, adaway, and kernel adiutor. I did notice how the AutoStart manager turned all my apps off that I currently had starting (For a reason), but that was simple enough to tweak back to my wanted settings.

Anyone else noticed the added brightness? The slider on the quick settings menu is to full, but if you go to Settings->Display->Brightness, you can increase it a bit more....

[ZenFone 2 General] knowledge@heart:
They are undervolting / underclocking the processor to get better battery life.

The marginally better battery life we see, has come at the cost of sacrificing performance.:crying:

Asus should have atleast given 5.1.1 to beta testers by now.

This is unwanted delay. They are trying to fix something that is damaged beyond repair.

[ZenFone 2 General] threi_:
1. Apparently the frequency is NOT locked to 1.8GHz max on the higher end models, that seems to be a bug/faulty app/related to Power Saver. Several people have confirmed that after a reboot and/or setting the mode to performance, it shows up as full 2.3GHz in apps like CPU-Z and Antutu, which do real-time tracking of the CPU speed.

2. You people are really underestimating how much of the battery drain is on Google's part, not ASUS'. Having owned several nexus devices, I can tell you that idle drain from google's services kill batteries on any android device. I personally have an issue with ASUS (almost everything i buy from them breaks on me in some way or another, i foolishly took another chance on this phone because of the bang for buck ratio) but they are not the ones to blame here. Android 5.1 won't magically fix battery issues like you are hoping it will, as Cyanogenmod has already shown. This is primarily the fault of Google. OEMs can only do so much.

That being said ASUS reeeeealy should be getting on getting 5.1 on this device.

I got 20.40.40 on my 550ML and Iḿ pretty pleased. Before this update I had a big issue with Ext SD reading error and my phone had got really laggy.

Both problems have no gone, phone was much quicker after the update, and since I found out here that you can disable inbuilt aps (and I have disabled a few) uts now even faster.

RAM use was also better after update, and even better npw after disabling aps.

This update is the best yet (for me anyway)....
[ZenFone 2 General] Buk-Lau:
uh my first gen moto X is like 2 years old and it still has longer standby time than my zf2, and you are blaming all of this on google? I agree with you that 5.1 is not gonna magically fix the battery problem, but I think people has mostly agreed with enough evidence that the problem lies more on asus's side. the android OS draining issue is mostly caused by the SoC being reluctant to go into deep sleep state and the SOT problem as identified by anandtech is because of inefficient display. so yes Asus should step up their game and get 5.1 asap, but they are way more responsible for the battery issues than google is.
[ZenFone 2 General] damenc:
Correct me if I'm wrong, and I'm no hardware genius but isn't comparing a less power consumption device that's 2 years old with slower cpu, smaller screen a bit unfair? the Moto X was also running a OLED display which uses less power. I assume that a more powerful, faster bigger screen device burns more power.
