The updates are cosmetic bull...., there has not been a significant update in more than 6 months, and I stand by my statement the ZenFone will never get the M update till at least a year after N is released, the last 4 updates errr ridiculous in scope and added nothing to generational effectiveness of the phone. I was entirely ready to go 100% ASUS, but my experience with the support on this phone has guaranteed ASUS will never realize another from me for any equipment, I am likely to switch all my future phone purchases to LG or just go straight Nexus from this point forward. Just my humble opinion.
[ZenFone 2 General] Ritik17:
Well, ASUS is not going to take that much of time to release MM for our device. It might be release next month or after they'll launch Zenfone 3.
[ZenFone 2 General] jimchee:
Your dreamin, they are just starting beta testing and that'll take them 6 months to a year or more, he'll they haven't even mastered 5.1 to this point so figuring out 6 is likely beyond their skill level, but hey you can dream..... good luck with that.
[ZenFone 2 General] android lover 2000:
Well hope the best and wait for MM update to be bug - free or else with new,better insipred(from CM,Miui) features

I do not want any gimmicks all i want is aome smart and innovative stuff , like taking screenshot on pressing recent key is innovative af (i think even cm does not has that option in long press, i used only cm12 in s3 , so i have not used it much)

I love asus for what they are doing and i do not care for upgrades if some one has made a stock based awesome rom(echoe rom)

Asus is love, intel is what i do not love(for gpu, development, no image enhancement and no battery effeciency)(820 is best this year)
[ZenFone 2 General] android lover 2000:
You should understand it's not easy to make roms and being new to it , it takes times to adjust , they are giving their best to give us the best MM update and with ironed out bugs too , hopefully it will happen , but i doubt intel for its efficiency and without using good kernels its far to get good battery and awesome performance together (you have to loose one generally but not in good kernels)

Its not about mastering 5.1 also , its about developing good base for future updates and with poor planing and development it will be hard , they should divide their team and do kick-ass development.

Do not be a jerk , by *****ing them for their only flaw, slow updates.

Intel is good except for weak gpu , lack of elements like enhanced imaging , battery or even sound quality ,these all are found in QC and MTK but often priced higher than intel
[ZenFone 2 General] Gabagabby:
From kitkat to lollipop, yes what most people know it was only cosmetic. Not for me tough. But from 32 to 64 bit? Not really. Itll optimize zenfone 2 and might unlock the power within it. I cant say much about asus wouldnt release android M, well.. the beta is out on march. Lookin at the history, when asus releases beta, itll be followed with the actual thing. Its just a matter of time really. Asus isnt the fastest in rolling update, but it is a definite that update will come. You are the fast - update kinda person i suppose. Well if its what u want, you are right. You better stick with nexus.

Lol. Just lol. I actually feel lucky that asus skip 5.1.1. That firmware is very buggy. Look at other reviews.

---------- Post added at 07:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:46 AM ----------

I agree tough. Expensive smartphones doesnt always guarantee its quality nowadays.
[ZenFone 2 General] sxcs1991:
Relax bro, even the Note 5 hasnt got the MM yet.
[ZenFone 2 General] Ritik17:
x86 architechture is just a little worse with Android. If devs can figure out something for x86 and make a badass kernel then what's better than that? Or if all the applications and Android itself could be complile for both arm and x86 then x86 doesn't require arm code translator(libhoudini) which lacks performance.
[ZenFone 2 General] jimchee:
Relax yourself bro, who mentioned Samsung at all that would be my absolute last choice in a cell phone overpriced, underdeveloped and so regionalized it's sickening, one day some one in the cellphone business is going to realize catering to cell providers and not the customers is what's going to ruin the business model, but hey what do I know I am just an old man who's lived 5 lifetimes already.
[ZenFone 2 General] aytex:
It has been announced for april-june

so make that 2-4 months :p
[ZenFone 2 General] jimchee:
Good luck with that, add a year to that estimate, and by then most of us will have new phones.
[ZenFone 2 General] nishuksd:
Yes their skills are weak, but you're skilled right.., y dont you make Android M for us?

Fed up seeing such d**k heads in all the forums....
[ZenFone 2 General] muhammad_fatah:
Just stock lollipop ROM with an edited build.prop.
[ZenFone 2 General] XirT-D:
What is this Echoe rom you guys are talking about?
[ZenFone 2 General] kanagawaben:
Don't think so. It had the new memory tab in the settings menu. That is a Marshmallow feature. In Lollipop it is buried under the apps tab.
[ZenFone 2 General] Leftrand:
Trueeeeeeee

I'm ready to welcoming mi5 :D

Don't give a shhiitttt asus release M or not
[ZenFone 2 General] jimchee:
Well June is ending and no MM for the flagship device, and no I don't count a leaked Beta as being a release, the support of this company is just plain S..., since when does every other product take precedence over "the flagship" it's a total farce, I'll predict right now that you'll likely never see MM on the ZenFone 2... it's a real shame s device with so much promise has been so neglected in the support department.
[ZenFone 2 General] xpen.xda:

When it comes to agility in updates, ASUS is the biggest loser ever.

[ZenFone 2 General] xpen.xda:
Well, I'm glad I've installed the beta 6.0.1 then [emoji2]
[ZenFone 2 General] ChiDi9901:
I will be not surprised if there is a delay for the MM update. I guess that they are just not interested in continuing the support of their old "flagship" device. They are more focused on their new flagship devices. At least in the mobile section (tablet as well as phone), I am not going to buy anything from them again. At least it was fun to try out the first 4GB RAM device in mobile history. Anyways, I realised that for me less than 4GB is enough.
[ZenFone 2 General] quicksilver53:
You should install the beta update. I just did and I am very pleased with it.
[ZenFone 2 General] jrzanolini:
I did it , but after updating the light sensor, gyro and proximity stopped working and even a hard reset solved the problem.
[ZenFone 2 General] quicksilver53:
Just checked mine. The proximity sensor works fine on mine. Very happy with it overall. UI is faster.
[ZenFone 2 General] timbernot:
All's great here too .

I think renaming user zip with UL at the beginning rather than sideload via Mofdsdupdate method gives us hassle free installation ;)
[ZenFone 2 General] kenbo111:
Why have you been such a troll over this whole thing? If your such an expert on this, you develop a mm rom on an x86 device with no help from Intel.
[ZenFone 2 General] pecholino:
Installed the beta update yesterday.

So far, so good. I've encoutered no bugs yet.

If the final release will be even better, we're gonna have a great device.
[ZenFone 2 General] jimchee:
Look I am not a developer never claimed to be, and even if I was developing for the flagship is not my job nor my responsibility, I have tried all the current Roma out there and for me, frankly they just don't do the job, I like many of the things that stock rom affords us that so far custom roms do not, and my complaint is not development here but the responsibilities of the company that have my money to support THEIR product, that is not my responsibility but I will certainly hold the company that got MY hard earned money responsible, you may have money to throw away with a company that refuses to support their products but I certainly do not!
[ZenFone 2 General] kenbo111:
But how can you say they don't support their device? When I bought this phone there were updates coming out every couple of weeks! The 2 previous phones I owned never got even security updates much less bug fixes. Then to see you going on about how there's no support is completely ridiculous. There is nothing that says these companies have to do any kind of updating to these phones. They could just as well leave them just as they are when you bought them.
[ZenFone 2 General] jimchee:
Cosmetic bull... is all those updates are, lollipop came out over 2 years ago and this phone is still on 5.0 which we all know is buggy and no effort was made to upgrade beyond that, support to me is keeping my device at least current with the updates in base OS and at that ASUS has woefully failed, and if you believe that a company has obligation to support a device after I buy it then you have no understanding of the marketplace, I went to a great deal of trouble and extra expense to get this device to me and with that I have expectations that the company I bought it keep it's end of the bargain, ASUS has absolutely not held up their end of the bargain. As I have also stated previously it's a one and done for me, from now on I will stick with pure Android and buy my devices from Google
[ZenFone 2 General] xpen.xda:
That's always a good policy... voting with one's wallet.

I can somehow understand your frustration, to a point, but ASUS hasn't discontinued support for this device - they're just a bit late, that's it. (and not late on all models, by the way, just on some of them)

These days people are really getting angry if they don't get what they want when they want it... bad times ahead...
[ZenFone 2 General] jimchee:
Okay so the 1st month of quarter three is over and of course no official MM but actually I figure it will be probably be many more months before ASUS announces it will actually never release an official update, of course by then I'll have had a nexus for about a year, good luck ya'll
[ZenFone 2 General] kenbo111:
You realize when he said this he meant any of the models. Now there's only one more to go and the beta for that one has been out for a few weeks.
[ZenFone 2 General] jimchee:
The only model i ever talked about was the 551 could care less about the others kenbo and you know that

[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daveyp187:
Hi guys, couldn't find an answer to my question.

why is my bootloader locked on my z5 while other people can unlock theirs?

is it to do with network branding or something??

cheers
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zippy01:
Yup you pay monthly so you get a phone at a discount usually free. You then don't own the phone. Some networks like mine don't allow modified software on their networks so Sony lock the bootloaders as part of their contract
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricodredd:
To be clearer, everyone's bootloader comes locked out of the box. The difference is that some are unlockable and some are not. Is this what you mean? Just because yours is locked doesn't mean it can't be unlocked.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daveyp187:
when testing it says it cannot be unlocked, even if i turn oem unlock on, it still says it cannot be unlocked.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gavster26:
Sony lock the bootloader to protect drm keys which are the security keys for there media apps and software like bionz track id x-reality clearphase ect which are lost when you unlock the bootloader. A branded device (network locked) has an extra lock for the network carrier to protect the sim lock certificate that is why thpse device cannot be unlocked. FYI a quick Google search would have told you this.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VorlonKosh:
why do we have XDA forums, if a "quick" google search is the versatile answer? no offence, but beginners and people who arent into programming mostly dont know all those special terms and their relations etc... im interferring here because your answer isnt pretty clear, at least to me. i bought a branded (vodafone) z5, no simlock though, and according to service menu the bootloader is locked but able to unlock.

meanwhile i unbranded it using flashtool. but when excactly is a bootloader unlockable? when it comes to branded AND simlock?
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zippy01:
Bootloader unlocking has nothing to do with sim lock, unbranding or anything else. As said all Sony bootloaders are locked the ability to unlock depends on the service provider and Sony's contract with them. They want the providers to accept their phones on their network so if the service provider wants to limit the use then Sony will do that at factory level.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrbubba999:
So if I get EE to unlock my phone, does that mean I can then unlock the bootloader? And yes I have used Google
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zippy01:
Nope as I said it's nothing to do with sim lock at all its done at factory level
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ben36:
There's not any good reason to unlock the bootloader currently tho anyway so why worry?
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrbubba999:
Not yet I suppose. I'll wait and see if MM is any good, but can see myself going back to a nexus device
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ben36:
If only they'd make a waterproof nexus with an awesome camera and the moto x force screen! That'd be soooo gooooood

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] lungothrin:
I just wanted to know that should i wait for 8925 or get a TyTN II now?

do you think that the current bugs that people mention that TyTN II has, will be fixed for 8925 or not!?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] MikeChannon:
My view - If you wait for an 8925 it will not change any of the "bugs" (IMHO small ones - but it depends what is important to you). Also if you get a branded version it may suffer the usual "bloat" that comes with that.

A better reason to wait might be price, but then that could take quite a while to drop substantially.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ziddey:
I'm still doing my research on this too, so this probably already has an answer. But when updates come out (if there's not already one, or a dump/cook?), 8925 users could go unbranded pretty easily. I'm just wondering if the 8925 will use the same general scheme for simlocks as 8525, and if so, if the 8525 unlocker could work, or be easily adapted. I'm intending on using the 8925 with tmousa, even though in my area it's only got gprs :(. Figure for $550, I could cancel my att and save a lot just keeping tmousa, and hopefully it'll have edge buildout or something by next year. On a side note, I wonder why they got rid of irda. I was hoping to be able to use my phone as a remote control (if they even can.. i remember my old nokia s60)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] austinsnyc:
T-Mobile is coming out with the Kaiser also but when we have no idea.. Also T-mobile is going to be using the 1700Mhz for there 3G so pretty soon we will all have the Kaiser with every carrior!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ziddey:
Cool. The thing is that I'm kind of stuck at the moment and not sure what to do. I've been selling phones during the summer months and going to school during the rest. For the first summer, I sold a lot of phones and was in good terms with the tmo indirect guy. He told me he'd let me keep my dealer line even though I went on hiatus until the next summer. However, when next summer rolled around, I heard that the guy got promoted somewhere else in tmo. I never met the new guy who was supposed to visit our kiosk. Same went for the third summer. Now, I'm back at school again. Still on the smartaccess since I was only 18 with no history when I first got the dealer line.

I'm not sure exactly what my internet includes, since it seems to be on and off what I'm allowed to do. But in any case, out here in ithaca, ny, they seem to have pulled away from the market. I was originally debating a parttime here during the year, but they're gone now. Currently, on my 6682 that I'm using with tmo, I'm only seeing gprs.

I'm a little afraid of calling into tmo since it's a dealer line, and the site I worked at has changed dealer codes since my line was activated, so I'm afraid it'll run into trouble. Anyone have any insight?
[Google Chromecast 2015] justwondering:
Hi , I am struggling to find some definitive information with regards to the Chromecast 2015 edition , basically the main function I require , is to be able to stream media / videos (all types of format) from my phone to my Non Smart Plasma TV , I have a few devices , one by a LG G4 , A Asus Z580c tablet and a Lenovo Windows Tablet type device.

Does anyone have any experience with this ? I would like 720 and 1080 video to stream from my SD card with no need to worry about Lip Sync and video stutters.

The main devices to be used will be my LG G4 and the Asus Z580c.

Advice please , my finger is hovering over the buy button......But I appear to be unable to push the button due to a lack of peace of mind that the ChromeCast 2015 model will do exactly what I need it to do !!!

Is there a way to stop the watch from downloading the update?

Hello to all and to all .

I'm the proud owner of a mate 8 NXT al10 Chinese version so if I'm not mistaken in 128 GB.

You must excuse me I do not speak any English so I use Google.

being French and not speaking Chinese while the only thing I have a problem with what I use very often with my phone is voice control.

My question is the following "" "Is it easily possible to place a file in the phone that will allow us to use voice commands in multiple languages" ""?

I hope I well expressed and especially as Google is my friend get me well translated.

Thank you to all
[Mate 8 Themes and Apps] jbmc83:
what u can do is install the google app from play store and set it as your assistance and voice control app: settings/apps/advanced/default app settings/assistance & voice input

set assist app to google app, that should do it. .
[Mate 8 Themes and Apps] Phil28:
First of all thank you for responding so quickly.

But this solution does not solve anything at all and made some applications malfunction I would say it conflicts with the Huawei applications.

Actually what I want it is a file that can be installed on the phone to turn the Chinese into English French German Italian I think it would help a lot of people.
[Mate 8 Themes and Apps] jbmc83:
as far as i know the chinese hivoice control is only available in chinese, thats why i suggested switching to google app... try and disable the chinese voice control when using google app, maybe thatll help with the described conflicts. what exactly did go wrong, in what apps?
