[ZenFone 2 General] citysid:
This phone is awesome. I switched from an S5 and to this phone love it. I would recommend getting the 4 gig version, it an handle pretty much anything. I can definitely say this phone is worth getting

How is the performance? Smooth? performs amazingly, no lags and very smooth.

How is the speaker(s)? Will my ringtones sound nice or like a $20 walmart phone? I have had no issues with the sound. It is loud and audible. I listen to YouTube all the time

How is the DAC? (Digital to Analog Converter) Not sure on this

How is the battery life? I tend to need at least 5 hours of SOT over a 20 hour peroid. (Roughly) This depends on usage but I usually charge mine every other day

Is the phone pretty simple to get root and such? Or do I need a supernatural act to unlock and root it? Root is super easy to obtain. It took me less than 10 minutes

How is the screen? Bright? Dim? Colorful? I prefer IPS to AMOLED, so as long as it is a good IPS we are good. lol The screen is great. It's vivid. the brightness is good outside

How is the dev support? I see a lot in the forums, but I'm just curius if it is all still being supported. As far as I know it is still being supported.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Colinmb:
I've been using Ghostrace with a Polar H7 and Jaybird Bluebud X headphones. While running and listening to offline Google Play music, about 30-40 minutes into my run, the songs start to get cut short and a new one starts, then, eventually, everything freezes and I have to reset by holding the button. My ghostrace logs are recovered and I am able to get all my stats, but they are broken and not very useful. Also, doing this 3-4 times during a long run is REALLY counter productive. My songs, even from the beginning of a run, seem to not finish completely before it moves on to the next one. It is rather annoying when you are expecting your song to continue and it just stops mid way and a new one starts.

I've done a factory reset and re-downloaded all my music and it still seems to be happening. A

Any suggestions?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Colinmb:
Getting worse now. Can only run about 10-15 minutes and it starts to happen and then freezes. Factory reset watch. Cleared cache on phone and redownloaded and installed everything. Still happening.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] cjkiller:
Hi, just trying to figure out whats causing this bug, though yours sounds different in that you have to reset. I've seen other reports of it just resetting on its own.

Anyway, what version of Ghostracer do you have? You can see on the watch, on the 3rd page down. Just wanting to find out if its a new problem I've created or if its something to do with the google play update the last month.

Cheers

Craig

0.9.2

Don't really have a problem with Ghostracer. It seems to work fine. It appears to be a bluetooth issue (leaning this way since I started experiencing issues transferring files from my phone occasionally) or google play music issue since many times I haven't been using Ghostracer when the issue occurs.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] JavaGP:
Is it possible that sweat is the culprit? I have heard of people having problems with sweat during their runs messing up their SW3 - that's because although the SW3 is water-resistant, that applies to fresh water only, not salt-water like sweat. Try running with a sweat band under your watch and see if that solves the problem.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] cjkiller:
Thanks for your info Colinmb, I was going crazy thinking I had broken something in the latest beta. So it looks like its a bluetooth problem created in the last update of the wear app/google play update, which came out around the 7th of November I think. Might make a post on the Sony site, see if anyone cares.

Android 6.0 soon so call me crazy but this will be amazing upgrade for any slower cards or even for people without SD-CARD on 16gb models for example.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] hbar98:
I have this exact card in my phone right now. You may be a bit disappointed because the phone doesn't reach those numbers. I did a couple of benchmarks with my SD card in the phone and it got about 60 read and a bit less than 30 write.

This is in contrast to what the internal memory scored: 142 read, 50 write.

I will still stand by the adage that you should buy the fastest card you can afford and, of course, don't buy the cheap stuff. This is your personal data we are talking about. Spring for the good stuff.

[X Style (Pure) Accessories] hbar98:
It'll be interesting to see how much difference there is between the PRO and the PRO+ in the phone. The PRO is rated at 90MB/s read, but that depends on the hardware reading it. In my computer, the PRO reads much faster than it does in my phone.

[X Style (Pure) Accessories] hbar98:
If you've searched that long and haven't found anything, then I'd bet that the phone doesn't support that spec. You'd think that something like that would be listed somewhere.

The best way you could probably tell would be to shine a light into the sd card slot and see if you see an extra set of pins. I looked on iFixit to see if they had a teardown guide, but didn't see anything.

So you are probably out of luck.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] hbar98:
Alrighty, so I decided to benchmark the card in my laptop, to see if there was any difference. Using CrystalDiskMark 5, 64 bit portable version in my laptop, a Lenovo Y500 with Windows 10, this is what I got:

Seq Write: 68

Random Read: 8

Random Write: 3

In my phone, the same card gave me:

Random Write - 28.01 MB/s

Samsung 64GB PRO+

Random Read - 14.35 MB/s

Certainly not as fast as the stated specs, but pretty darn fast IMO. The tests were run straight from the phone with the app, I am sure results would vary (maybe faster) if ran on a PC.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] smokarz:
I believe where the PRO+ thrive is the Sequential write speed.

Not many cards on the market currently that surpasses 60MB/s write.

[X Style (Pure) Accessories] kent1146:
Sequential write is more important.

But I wouldn't worry about it. SD Card speed ratings (Class 10, UHS 1, etc) are standards for measuring minimum sequential write speeds, to certify that those SD cards can handle specific data write workloads such as 1080p60 video.

Just about any decent microSD card you buy these days will exceed the minimum sequential write rates required for recording video from a Moto X Pure, so you'll be fine there.

The rest of the discussion(s) in this thread are around read/write speeds of

computer-data

based data transfers, and not camera / camcorder-based video transfers. So this discussion is really about how fast you can read/write to the SD card simply for convenience or performance purposes, and not to ensure that you meet a minimum write speed for capturing video

---------- Post added at 10:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:12 AM ----------

60MBps sequential write speeds are fantastic. If you put that card into a computer, you will get faster read/write speeds. Much closer to the 90 read / 90 write speeds advertised, when using large sequential files.

The Sandisk Pro and Pro+ ares pretty much the fastest microSD cards you can buy.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] max1001:
I order mine from Samsung doing BF and it's back order. Those are pretty much the same result as Pro Plus which is 2x the price of Evo Plus.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] newHere:):
according to this thread, with pro plus:

Seq Write - 71.14 MB/s

And with evo plus

Seq Write - 22.36 MB/s

so i won't say it is the same...
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] max1001:
I only care about random IO. Other than app install process, random write doesn't really affect the performance on a phone that much.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] newHere:):
for taking 4k videos isn't the seq write matters?
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] @rbiter:
Yes. If you're serious about 4k videos I'd definitely stick to Samsung and sandisk cards.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] smokarz:
Two very different cards. The PRO+ is 3x the performance in seq write. It's up to you to determine if that justifies the cost.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] max1001:
It does but Evo+ more than fast enough. Pro+ is def better but I am paying 2x the price for it.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] frankrocks:
Just picked up the Sandisk Extreme Plus, 64gb. Prob should've gotten the EVO+ 128gb for the same price if not cheaper :\

Seq Read - 86.62 MB/s

Seq Write - 66.74 MB/s

Random Read - 13.3 MB/s

Random Write - 3.47 MB/s
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] max1001:
Nah. you can do a lot better than Evo+ in seq write. 66 vs 22.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] staplerz:
Could you explain? I am getting my MOTO X Pure in a few days. What 128GB+ card do you recommend?

EDIT: I would love a fast read/write card for future linux distros to come =D
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] max1001:
I would wait on 128 gb card. For some reason, they seen to be slower than the 64 bit counter part. Maybe not enough cache to hold a partition table for 128gb.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] quietx1guy:
Are you sure that's not the SanDisk Extreme Pro? The Extreme Pro is rated up to 90 MB/s write. The SanDisk Extreme Plus is only rated up to 50 MB/s write. According to their website.

Right. I will use it, thanks for the tip. As you have to downgrade to KitKat in order to install custom recoveries and the like, I already did so. And I discovered something new, which wasn't on Lollipop. KitKat's battery stats show that 39% of the phone's battery is used up by the screen, even though I barely use it and it is on the lowest brightness possible. Other than that, another culprit is the mobile signal, which shows a high usage of battery.

One thing I have noticed is that even though the ROM has much bettery battery management than the stock rom, it feels somehow slower. In developer options, the "Force GPU rendering for 2D" option is enabled. I disabled it and weirdly, the phone seems to be faster and smoother, like it was before. The opposite of this should be happening, as I've read that it instead makes the phone smoother than having it ticked off

Three days ago the battery started draining like before, with high usage of the process "Android System", approximately 30%.

I also learned how to properly use BetterBatteryStats, and it reports that the device has 100% no or unknown signal. The phone also is doing weird beep sounds around the camera area. I've factory reset the device, but it didn't do anything. In fact, it is worse now. Battery drain is approximately 3% an hour. And that is with WiFi, Mobile Data and almost everything else off. I also don't have any apps installed. The same happens with Android Kitkat. A lot of apps are also disabled.

Hi, Followed all the amazing walk through like normal. Not sure what 4.x.x.x I was on, never really check to be honest.

First time this phone has been rooted. (I rooted because I was having problems with the phone, last phone I rooted and was able to fix the problems).

1. Used the download file and instructions by qking...

2. Same with TWRP

3. It rebooted, somehow it screwed up MicroSD card, would no longer read it. Then it rebooted again..

4. Stuck on Sprint screen for last couple hours.

I tried to get back into TWRP and do a factory clean and reset, when it rebooted it, sat at the Sprint Screen for hour or so. Then I searched and a few other people just had to use odin and redo it again and worked fine.

So I did odin again relfashed the file and at reboot it is stuck on Yellow Sprint screen..

That is where im stuck at now is Sprint Screen, thanks in advance!
