[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00192:
Im a new owner and I regret getting this phone. Battery life is terrible, camera is mediocre, many weird bugs, screen brightness is a joke, reminds me of my 2011 HTC. Oh and still no Android 5.1 and its probably never coming to this phone apparently and probably same story for Android marshmallow.

Avoid this phone at all cost. You can get a better phone for less IMO. Mine is going on Craig's list if the next big patch doesn't fix the battery life.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bublz654:
I don't care about android version [emoji14] can easily root it anyway and flash ROM. ROMS can easily fix battery life issue
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00192:
nope, none of the ROM currently available can give this phone a good battery life.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ione2380:
It has better battery life than lg g4 and galaxy s6(had both), so what's your point? If you personally have a bad experience with your unit, that doesn't make this a phone to "avoid at all cost".
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrseife:
>> screen brightness is a joke

Asus did that probably on purpose to limit battery drain. The screen is the culprit (older, cheaper model that has higher drain; they had so save somewhere, right?)...anyway, you can easily override the max brightness set by Asus using apps such as "Brightness Adjuster" available on the Play Store (no root required).

The point is this is a great phone for the price it is offered, imho.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
nope it doesnt have a better battery life than those 2 phones. Stop spreading your ignorance or false informations.

Only con i find is, there is no backlight to capacitive keys but you'll get use to it. Screen brightness is on par with my m8. Camera is the best you can find on this price range. Slowmotion video is a joke compared to my iPhone 6, but who uses that anyway? ?

yup called someone a troll when he disagree with you and when he is obviously right.

People like you are part of the problem when spreading your ignorance over this board. People need to know what they are going to get before making their decision instead of reading unrealistic lies.

That phone at that price is far from being the best choice, wake up.

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glock24:
Pros: dual SIM, 4GB RAM (some models have 2GB), SD Slot you can use even with two SIMs installed (in many newer phones you either have 2 SIMs and no SD or 1 SIM and SD), very fast CPU, decent GPU, wireless 802.11AC (most phones in the price rage only have 2.4GHz N wireless), has quick charge technology, NFC (only on ZE551ML), ZenUI is pretty light and very user friendly (unlike Touchwiz), has a growing developer community.

Cons: a bit on the heavy side, no backlit navigation buttons, speaker not very loud, you need a case or risk a broken screen (I recommend Asus' own bumper case), camera's low light performance could be better.

I come from a BLU Life Play (quad core A7 1.2GHz, 1GB RAM, SGX544MP GPU, 4.7" 720P IPS, Dual SIM), which was better is some areas than a Moto G, and was satisfied with it, just wished it had more RAM. The ZenFone is light years ahead in every area, it even has a bit better battery life under moderate use. You won't find anything this good in the same price range.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Caebron:
Frankly I think it is not so much the screen brightness itself but the screen glare that can make it challenging to read the screen in direct sunlight conditions. The screen brightness is fine, but for direct sunlight a anti-glare screen protector should do the trick.

The bottomline is, for the price this is a kickass phone! Of course you should play it smart and not go for the 64GB model, but for the 4GB/16GB model and then add a ~ $20 64GB SD card like the Samsung Evo which is currently on sale. That brings the price down to 250 for a 4GB/ 16GB +64GB version. Less even if you go with an open box item. I got an open box, but untouched phone for $20 off on amazon.

EDIT: I will concede there are bugs in the Asus version of Lollipop as there are bugs in the stock Google version. I will further add that many custom ROMs have bugs, and the Asus ROM is not worse than any other custom ROM I have used over the years. Overall Asus has improved upon stock Lollipop and added many useful features such as you would expect from a custom ROM found in any of the threads here on XDA.

It's all about putting things into perspective. Like I said, for the price this phone is unbeatable. If you are here on XDA already, I will assume that you are already aware that you can easily root your phone and install a custom ROM thus making any arguments against this phone invalid.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
awesome reviews on this phone. I'm going to but the 64 GB version because why not, gotta treat myself :D

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TC93:
The last update (well actually I think the update before the last update) improved greatly the idle battery life for me. Before I was getting 2% idle drain per hour and now its down to 0.2 to 0.5% per hour idle (no screen on, with gmail syncing off)).

At first the update made it worse, but then I did a reset of the phone which fixed that.

The main thing I don't care much for is that the phone is a little on the heavy side. I also don't like that the battery is not user removable on my model of this phone.

I do however actually like the stock software on the phone, unlike complaints from some people about the software.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ansebovi:
My opinion on this phone..

Best for price but user should be gud at using android phone (root, apps) otherwise will start whining. ..

Pros :

price,

built design (curved back is great for grip, ofc u need somewhat medium size hand),

lagless,

Asus inbuilt apps (some are very awesome like splendid, one hand mode, pc link, etc)

dual sim dual active

touch response is so great than others (Atleast which i personally tested like mi4, one plus one, mi4i,moto g2, zr and many budget range phones)

Fast charging

Cons :

there is sort off ram leak (2gb ram can definitely feel this, 4gb can when you don't reboot for weeks),

brightness (screen brightness is limited by Asus, use app to get max bright then no problem in outdoor),

Battery (due to ram leak i guess, and android os drain is there, idle drain is too much and that's y most whining about battery but the screen on time is gud, root or use custom roms.. Then battery is great)

Camera : really this camera is great but sad thing the auto optimisation makes pic grainy.. . Better use manual or use camera fv5,and play with settings,you will see price worth camera and no 4k,slo mo is joke, video recording not great for price

Asus Software team, really they are so slow in major android version, adding new bugs while fixing old bugs in each update,.. Better use custom roms if you want updates to latest android version.,with minor bugs...

phone design (slim edge gives more impact to screen when falling i guess)

Lot of users complained about screen got damaged and most didn't have any protection on phone, so better use tempered glass and back cover (my choice would be nillkin tempered glass and nillkin frosted shield back cover)

No Mhl support sadly

second sim can't use data connection

Go with it, get tempered glass, back cover, unlock bootloader, use custom roms, enjoy awesomeness of zenfone 2

And if you don't care much about battery life, then get moto x style (aka pure) which is 400usd only
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MATTHEWLONG:
All in all its a great phone. I love mine!
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TC93:
I may have been mistaken with my previous comment about the idle drain being fixed. I had my sim card out of the phone during that time, but now I see it has a much higher idle drain with the sim card in it.

I'll have to test it some more to make sure though.

[Nexus 6P General] Zorachus:
This is shaping up to be a pretty sweet Nexus. Maybe the best Android phone of the year, right next to the Note 5.

3,450mAh battery on the 6P, and with Android 6.0 "Doze" feature that's supposed extend standby time, and then with some tweaked kernel and good ROM, this beast could get 7h Screen On time.

My rooted and ROM'd tweaked T-Mobile Note 5 is giving me 6h Screen On time, and it only has a 3,000mAh battery.

Now, is the 6P worth getting rid of my ROM'd Note 5 ?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] innocentone1:
I am curious if this has been happening to anyone else. I am using the ROM Galaxy Note 5 OGD Deodexed Stock Rom using Xposed Framework and Wanam Xposed. My kernel is the BeastMode Kernel with the new TWRP that supports our phone and everything runs smoothly on my phone and when I restart it sometimes it reboots flawlessly..... and sometimes when it reboots it hangs at the Sprint Spark screen forever. I go into my recovery and wipe the Dalvik Cache and normal cache and reboot it a couple times until it eventually gets passed the sprint spark screen and begins to optimize my apps. Is there a reason why sometimes when I reboot everything just stops working and other times everything is working flawlessly I am not changing around anything in the Xposed framework or modifying any settings. It is just sometimes hit or miss on my reboots and I don't know why. If there is something I missed that the community here has announced about this issue I apologize I just feel really confused and cant find any talk about this anywhere.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] bosswick:
This happened to me on my Note 4 when I dirty flashed a ROM. My recommendation would be to do wipe and clean install of the ROM you are using, unfortunately. I missed my alarm (luckily my SO's went off) and nearly missed work due to my phone restarting and hanging on the Spark screen. But usually if I soft reset (power+vol down - or battery pull in my case on the N4), it would get past the spark screen. I haven't ROM'd my N5, but that was my recently past experience.

I've updated the driver, tried Kies (it says connecting but never does) It buzzes when I connect it to the pc so I know it recognises it. I've tried 3 leads so know it isn't that and USBDebugging is ticked in the phone itself. But for some reason I cannot get the PC to see it. I want tp out some music on the watch but I can't

Yea, alright, i know, there hv been many threads abt which the best ROM is in ur opinion, but none of them hv really continued and provided some usefull opinion, so Im creatin a poll ova here, and post your opinions abt different ROMS and why you like them and why you use them and pros and cons.... if you don have so much time, or u think its better to read their description or try em out, atleast vote in the poll, its not a really tough thing im asking you to do...

EDIT: Anyone wanting to vote for a version previous to ones listed plz do, in the same option, eg: AX3L or LVSW's and if you like a ROM not listed here, plz do mention it.

There's no stoppin' you hey AK?

You've obviously read the other threads - seen what others (the majority) think - seen that this type of thread has been created so many times - and you've even seen that

but you figured that your poll would be different - that everyone would vote and comment and that something useful would come of it.

OK fairy play to you - I encourage anyone who feels the same to boycott this thread. Sorry AK - no offense meant - but creating 5 threads for the same thing - I just can't see the point. Your last post was in another thread created today on the same topic.???????

Is it me or what?

wow, dude, yea, everyone has their own opinions and I created this thread for the benifit of those ppl who are new here, and want to knw which is the best ROM to suit their needs, and yea it is funny that ppl have voted for ingigo's full version, but its because of their trust on mUn, or they already knw it gonna be good, because the FULL edition is just the lite edition plus more apps.

And yea, I posted in another thread created for the same reason, because it wasnt goin anywhere and it didnt have a poll.

And yea, everyone has their own opinion so I respect those ppl who find this thread useless, but till then, the ppl who think otherwise can continue voting and utilize this thread...
[P3600 ROM Development] Arilexed:
How about adding "Shipped ROM" to the poll?
[P3600 ROM Development] nealed:
What about PDAVIET ROMs why can I not express my preference for those ROMs? Also - my favourite AX3L ROM is 2.0.5 - why can't I vote for it.

What about Lasagna, Dopod, Spanish, Faman, Bepe's ROM ENG and GER, FLY ROM, UdK's ROM, Ausdim's ROM etc etc.

Even if you wanted just to look and English language ROMs - there are far more than you indicate. even though I really disagree with this thread on several points, if you insist on doing something- at least do it fairly? If this sort of thing can be done fairly.
[P3600 ROM Development] AkshayGenius:
well alright, although Im pretty sure your favourite ROM IS NOT A3XL 2.0.5, you have a point, so if anyone wants to vote for AX3L ROM 2.0.08 or earlier they can do that in the same option... I was not aware of the other ROMs, so if anyone has a choice not listed, they can very well mention it here. (although, ROMs of other languages are mostly based on the ROMs listed here)

Well, I tried to be fair, if I wasn't, I apologize, and if you anything else left to say, plz do....

Again : same useless question :(

Should we open a thread asking which is better, P3600 or Trinity?

Or Opel or Vauxhal?

You are free to open as many threads as you want, but when you think 1 minute about the real use of this thread, i think that you will hit your head in the wall and call yourself names.

So you think that making a poll will make life easier for the users that want to choose a new ROM? You think that its not easier to read the threads about each of them and then pick the one that has better support for your device/likings?

Or that by doing this you are actually hurting the community by making people actually choose a ROM and make the cookers of the other ROMs leave the scene?

Everybody deserves the right to freedom, but there is a difference between freedom and stupidity and i guess that you are mixing it somehow.

Just my 10 cents... Feel free to disagree
[P3600 ROM Development] mikhe69:
To all SENIOR members, I know that for you this is just 1 more topic about the same old question, but for example for me it's a good information topic, at least to decide what will be my first WM6 ROM!!

I know very well, that 1 ROM could be the better to someone but for another person it can be the worst!

But if we have some kind of information about the pros and cons of the various ROM's then it's easier to decide wich one we will install!

And maybe later when we have more experience we start to try all of them and then we can decide by ourself's.

Maybe this can go STICKY and then no more questions about this :rolleyes:

to Mikhe69 and all the others that think this thread is useful...

If you really want to help anybody choosing their ROM then you can make something more helpful. Read all the threads about the available WM6 ROM's, write down their pro's and con's and present this information to the community. When you do this, i am sure that many people will actually thank you and almost for sure that the thread would be a sticky. But this is the hard way, the easy way i think you already know about it...

This is not a question of who it senior or who is junior, its just a question of being lazy.
