i said there is no mm for zenfone 2. mm for zf2 laser variants.

asus's flagship model : zenfone 2 Z00AD ??????
[ZenFone 2 General] alboz83:
Yes Android 6.0 is out for zenfone laser, incredible i have ZE551ML, and there is no news for MM. Very bad work Asus, i never buy Asus smartphone

[ZenFone 2 General] kanagawaben:
This news is pretty bloody annoying. Rolling out M on the cheaper iteration Laser model, but apparently not even reached beta test stage on the original "flagship" ZF2? Not that I am that desperate to get M - apart from abysmal RAM management issues that cause slow downs on my 2GB model, the stock 5.0 firmware works fine and is getting security patches. But it's more the principal of the thing.
[ZenFone 2 General] dan8541:
I assume the reason is that the laser doesn't have an Intel processor.
[ZenFone 2 General] bitfed:
I see your point. I cannot wait to get 6 on my Asus. It's going to run like a dream. Marshmallow on my other devices has given them a second wind.

Though let's give some credit... There are people on these forums working for free who put out higher standard releases than the company that we paid.
[ZenFone 2 General] Level99:
This, more likely than any other reasoning. I remember that Intel was pretty slow at releasing the libs necessary for anyone using x86 Android to update to 5.1 (which may be the reason ZF2 main line was never done so, they just decided to skip it due to how long it had been). However, with the recent statement that Intel is no longer doing work in the mobile area, do we even know when/if those libs, which ASUS is probably waiting on, will ever come out? I mean, surely they could release something on 6 but it wouldn't be as polished without the latest.
[ZenFone 2 General] TheSSJ:
If nexus player (fugu) with Intel SOC got MM you can tell that it will also come for our ZF2, just be a little patient
[ZenFone 2 General] Boosted_01 R:
We'll probably get it at the very end of Q2.... I hope the removal of a ton of bloatware will apply to the Zenfone 2 as well... Asus needs to stick with hardware and leave software to Google....
[ZenFone 2 General] kenbo111:
And just how many non asus owners are coming here to the zenfone XDA forums? Not very helpful.
[ZenFone 2 General] mc2mc2:
Prospective buyers do (sometimes) check out the forums... you have many question from people interested in ZF2 about it!
[ZenFone 2 General] pharatlil:
when i decide to buy a new device , i look at the xda and other forum about that device.

---------- Post added at 09:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:47 AM ----------

think about that; samsung announces flagship s7 and they gives next android build android 7.0 upgrade to galaxy j7 ???

every customer will complain about it.

then if i will buy a ASUS device i musnt buy flagship. because there is no speciality about flagship device. lower devices support better than flagships for ASUS ??
[ZenFone 2 General] pharatlil:
actually i m waiting ASUS for uptaded driver for camera. toshiba sensor supports many options but we cant have it now. i want better video options which sensor supporting. i dont want anything else.
[ZenFone 2 General] fred_gaou:
Marshmallow for all zenfone 2 are regularly confirmed for Q2 by mods in Zentalk forum. They always refer to ASUS Android M Update Timeline as an official statement that is still true.

But I'm sure when it will be there, the same people will keep complaining for other reasons.
[ZenFone 2 General] Ambarish630:
I got Android M update but installation error occured

Can anyone please help. Not able to install the Android M update even after complete download.

I got FOTA service error, please help, as i dont have any idea what this error is.

Thanks

[ZenFone 2 General] bluviper:
so guys, have any of you received a notification for update?

I still dont have one. i got ZE500KL (Manila, Philippines)

Sorry, nothing to see here.
[ZenFone 2 General] holymoz:
stupid question, I am rooted and debloated, unlocked with twrp, how can i install new update?
[ZenFone 2 General] Kona67:
By flashing full firmware via adb or twrp.
[ZenFone 2 General] holymoz:
thanks, other questions, flashing stock firmware overwrites recovery? and after flashing stock I should remain unlocked right? and be unlocked can harm stock updates?
[ZenFone 2 General] kenbo111:
In order no, yes, no
[ZenFone 2 General] holymoz:
thanks :good:
[ZenFone 2 General] Capataz:
Legends say that people are still waiting for Android M for the ZF2.
[ZenFone 2 General] gipikay:
So... after this fiasco we can safelly assume that ZF2 will not even get 2 year software updates, and Android N is out of the question.

Crappy "flagship" this turned up to be from Asus, even if it was looking so promising.

I'm not looking to start a flame war, just expressing my dissapointment
[ZenFone 2 General] BigBrosMo:
What are you talking about? What fiasco?
[ZenFone 2 General] khams927:

[ZenFone 2 General] holymoz:

[ZenFone 2 General] xpen.xda:
Well that's in fact the end of Q2...

Look at it another way, it's about five weeks from now [emoji57]
[ZenFone 2 General] holymoz:
This is it?? I was thinking some cancelled update, waiting some week doesn't bother me at all.
[ZenFone 2 General] GuptaRohan02:
I have a Asus Zenfone 2 Laser ZE550KL ( Snapdragon 615, 3GB RAM) variant... But still haven't got the update..
[ZenFone 2 General] Riffen87:
I bougt my phone with a custom ww rom (from china, living in europe) will i be able to update the phone? (It wont ota)

Or do i have to flash it?
[ZenFone 2 General] gipikay:
The Intel powered ZF2 was supposed to be the flagship, not the S615 ZF2. And by fiasco, I mean the promise-then-scrapping of 5.1, and the delay of 6.0. When there's a new release of Android, a current flagship must be your priority and not your last thought, instead they were selling god knows how many variants ( I lost count) and prepearing next ZF3, but guess what? ZF3 has not been released yet, but the (official) support for Intel ZF2 is a cluster****.

Thank god for custom ROMs, and let's hope Asus release each and every piece of dirver to keep this phone supported as long as possible. Yes, I'm mad, I've been an Asus supporter in PC, and did not think twice to purchase their phone when I could, but was sorely dissapointed cuz I was thinking they were going to avoid the usual crap other manufacturers do in their smartphones.

EDIT: And now, if we believe their word (again), 5-6 more weeks until update. Let's hope they deliver
[ZenFone 2 General] xpen.xda:
End of June
[ZenFone 2 General] juraci:
They will launch Android M, when N will be released.
[ZenFone 2 General] bitfed:
Same thing happened with the T100 netbook series. When fixes to very serious issues came, they were months or years late and often with poorly/improperly translated documentation.

One time a firmware update actually bricked my netbook and they said it wasn't covered under their warranty. I'm not making this up. Pretty sure they lied to me.

This is my 4th ASUS product and what you describe has been my experience with every single one of them.
[ZenFone 2 General] dakunclear:
As for owning motherboards and what not from them, the only thing I have owned was the TF101 transformer android tablet where they were awesome for updating it
[ZenFone 2 General] gipikay:
Well, except for the ZF2, my experience with Asus was flawless as the owner of many mobos, an Asus T100 (love that bastard to the death, I use it daily as my secondary machine always in my backpack) and had to sell my X202E even if I loved it dearly
[ZenFone 2 General] jayesh:
What an awful experience from Asus, that's about it. Oh well waiting another few weeks hardly matters.
[ZenFone 2 General] GroveStreetHomie:
What do you guys think, when the official Marshmallow update arrives, will Cyanogenmod 13 become more stable and will be finally pushed into the Stable or at least Snapshot channel?

That's if Asus ever releases it.
[ZenFone 2 General] holymoz:
I've tried many custom roms on various phones in the past and I can say that custom roms is synonym of bugs, bugs everywhere.

better an acceptable stock rom than "wonder" custom and unstable, so good come this stock mm.
[ZenFone 2 General] kanagawaben:
If M ever comes it will be a pleasant surprise, but I have basically given up on it now. I love the smoothness of CM13, but every time I flash it I end up going back to stock after a couple of days due to network issues and battery life. So now I have got the stock 5.0 firmware set up to my satisfaction with my core set of apps and ZenUI also how I like it (I have grown to prefer it over the stock Android of CM), I am really not that bothered about getting the M update. Of course the delays/failure to deliver 5.1 & 6 have given me a pretty dim view of ASUS and make me unlikely to buy ASUS phones again, but I think that regarding the ZF2 I can live with it for another year or so as it is now.
[ZenFone 2 General] DucPT:
I thought this phone is a great value but with a life span less than a year (OS), I was wrong. I should have chosen Xiaomi instead.
[ZenFone 2 General] pecholino:
Source of the screenshot?
[ZenFone 2 General] timbernot:

[ZenFone 2 General] pecholino:
So I guess he's got MM on his ZF2?

Beta, official? :)

[ZenFone 2 General] troy5890:
Most likely is legitimate
[ZenFone 2 General] kenbo111:
The thing that makes me wonder is that it's a screenshot of a screenshot.
[ZenFone 2 General] t0per666:
how did he get it??? and the security patch is june 1 but its not june yet? maybe he edited it??
[ZenFone 2 General] troy5890:
He must've been with the beta program in order to receive it. I'm not sure if he edited it, but by the looks of it it is unlikely
[ZenFone 2 General] t0per666:
but asus didnt post about beta MM build for z00ad yet only the zen ui. how?? im confused! lol
[ZenFone 2 General] troy5890:
Don't worry, I'm a little confused too about it, but now that this screenshot is out, I can tell you that it is unlikely to be fake.
[ZenFone 2 General] kenbo111:
I say fake
[ZenFone 2 General] Delgadovsky:
Don't forget that many smartphones receive May security patch in last week of April... So, probably this may be true. Only beta testers can confirm (but they cannot say anything) lolol
[ZenFone 2 General] GaBuzz:
Its fake, I am a beta tester and have received no MM update as of yet...

[ZenFone 2 General] gREENNNNN:
I'm beta tester and it's fake.

Maybe its an internal test MM version, but its not avaliable for beta testers.
[ZenFone 2 General] Delgadovsky:
And you, beta testers, don't even have a answer about MM release??? God, i see that we have to wait.... longer :silly:
[ZenFone 2 General] Megamanat:

[ZenFone 2 General] dakunclear:
I will once again say this for the 80th time Asus said quarter 2 of this year which ends at the end of what month......dun dun dun June
[ZenFone 2 General] kenbo111:
Some people are just really really impatient. I've never seen such an impatient and quick to judge group of people.
[ZenFone 2 General] kanagawaben:
Hi

Yes, it's really hard to understand why people waiting well over a year for some kind of version upgrade to the already outdated and flawed software their device was released with could possibly get impatient, especially when they see later, cheaper iterations of the device receive an upgrade before theirs and while they are told that there is no evidence of so much as a beta test for their model. They should just shut up, right??
[ZenFone 2 General] dakunclear:
Look around though, you can't blame just Asus. Think of the fact that Intel has discontinued all their mobile chips, which means they have very little to zero support for the processor. Which means Asus isn't getting any driver updates which they need to continue. So rather then hate on them, hate on Intel!
[ZenFone 2 General] kanagawaben:
Marshmallow has been public almost 8 months. Intel cancelled their next gen mobile chips just a week or two ago. They should have got whatever they needed from intel months ago.
[ZenFone 2 General] Twotems:
I'm a beta tester and gave up on MM a long time ago. Still love my Zenfone 2 but can't be bothered to even check the forums any more. Using my Redmi Note 3 pro more these days. If MM comes then great but the newer more, efficient SD650 soc and 4000mah battery in the Xiaomi destroys the ZF2. My point is that I'd rather get a ZF3 with the newer soc and bugs ironed out if the price is right.
[ZenFone 2 General] bitfed:
I don't understand this logic. Some people feel misled or let down by ASUS's prioritization. Some of us, imo rightly so, feel the devices best user experience will be best realized in MM.

I don't understand why someone would deflect responsibility away from ASUS in this particular case.

People are expressing their experiences. ASUS makes great devices, but they could learn lessons from the feelings expressed here and be a better company for it. Let's give them that chance and stop attacking each other over our somewhat subjective feelings over this.
[ZenFone 2 General] pecholino:
Let's wait four more weeks. Then we'll know if ZF2 will get MM or not.

ASUS said Q2. If they don't deliver, then we can complain.
[ZenFone 2 General] DonMigs85:
I really wonder if the Intel chipset is what's giving them difficulties. It's kinda shameful they just announced the ZenFone 3 line and we still don't have the update
[ZenFone 2 General] Leftrand:
I dont give a shiit wheiter M come or not for z2,gonna get one z3 deluxe next month
[ZenFone 2 General] GroveStreetHomie:
That Snapdragon 820 + 6 GB RAM will last you a long time. Let's just hope Asus will supply updates for as long as it lives. *cough ZF2* *cough Still on 5.0*
[ZenFone 2 General] buge boyo:
If you want Android M you best bet is to sell off your zenfone 2 or throw it away and get the zenfone 3, I threw mine in the bin and got myself a Nexus 6. Asus is never going to update the zenfone 2 because they're probably having problems with the Intel chipset the new zenfone line up do not have Intel.
[ZenFone 2 General] smokinjoe2122:
Sure the Zenfone 3 is a spec whore, but would you really trust Asus? Android O will arrive and this phone will still be on Marshmallow. They had their chance to win me over, and I gave up.
[ZenFone 2 General] dakunclear:
Did you get the 6 or the 6p I ended up giving my Zenfone to my wife since she wrecked her phone and I got a LG G4 which the battery is crap slightly worse then the Zenfone but the camera is pretty amazing compared to the Zenfone :) and they started rolling out mm about December and hit Canada by February which for LG to beat Samsung to the updates is pretty impressive
[ZenFone 2 General] MatteXperiaU:
if i can sell my ze550ml, sure i will not buy any device from asus, even with 26 gb of ram.

i will use my money wisely this time.
[ZenFone 2 General] dan8541:
I will be pretty surprised if we get Marhmellow by the end of June, especially since it appears beta testers have yet to see the beta.
[ZenFone 2 General] gREENNNNN:
Don't be so surprise.. We beta testers usually test a firmware just a few days b4 official release.. and TBH, most of the times we just get the newest firmwares at same time than non beta testers..

What i want to say its that ASUS beta testing program is complete bull****.
[ZenFone 2 General] DonMigs85:
If Asus does a good job keeping the ZenFone 3 Deluxe updated, then I might consider getting a ZenFone 4 perhaps.
[ZenFone 2 General] buge boyo:
I got the 6 the amoled screen is gorgeous and battery life I get 6hrs screen on time with 2 days usage and it's very cheap, I'm never buying a non Nexus device again I can't stand bloatware and lack of updates.
[ZenFone 2 General] GroveStreetHomie:
I'm not sure what Asus will name their next ZenFone, cause all the numbers seem to be taken, ZenFone 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

ZenFone 7? eh?
[ZenFone 2 General] krasCGQ:
Maybe A1, or whatever begins with a letter. If they named ZenFone 3, it would be a confusion for the next generation.

ZenFone 4 (4'), ZenFone 4S(4'5"), ZenFone 5 (5'), ZenFone 6 (6') were already taken. All of them were first generation phones.
[ZenFone 2 General] ruimoura:
You guys need to chill out. Asus said they would release Android 6 for Zenfone 2 untill end of June, it's not even June ... relax.
[ZenFone 2 General] holymoz:
Don't understand all the hate, asus said end of june, so wait.

If not released

Will be rightful shame on asus.

Up to all z2 is a very good phone, intel cpu is fast and doesn't heat up a lot, ram is good, screen is not incredible but can pass, updates are frequent apart from 5.1.1, for me is a decent phone considering I come from s4 mini stuck on kitkat for 3 years.
[ZenFone 2 General] MikeyLee:
They actually said 1st quarter of 2016 which would be end of March
[ZenFone 2 General] therealankit:
No, they said 2nd Quarter of 2016, which ends on June 30th. Let's wait till that date before we start expressing our anger.
[ZenFone 2 General] stconquer:
they said wait for computex too. and they said they'll give 5.1.1 too. Frankly, i dont care what asus said earlier.
[ZenFone 2 General] alose:
Honestly, at this point I don't really care. I have CM and that is working fine for me. In a few months when the next Nexus is released, I might pick that up and switch to Google Fi, or not. It will depend on how good the phone is and the price. I am done with Asus phones at this point.

Please at least look through the thread before posting. Old news. You got our hopes up.
[ZenFone 2 General] Sayan44:
Thread title should be "Android M for ZenFone 2 is where?"
[ZenFone 2 General] james_bombed:
It's fake bro! None of us beta testers have yet got it.

We need to have patience and wait.

The latest news is that Android M for ZE551ML won't carry ZenUI 3.0 with it. This is a bad news for me!!

refer link here: ZenTalk
[ZenFone 2 General] C-Ph87:
I'm Beta too - also no update yet.

Read about this non-coming ZenUI 3.0 today.

Realy disapointing and huge deal-breaker.

If that is really final, guess my next phone wont be Asus at all.
[ZenFone 2 General] Delgadovsky:
Ok. MM is still on the date (till the end of the month) but ASUS already confirm that Zen UI 3.0 will not be implemented in the MM update and there is no plan to implement in ZF2. That's not good news
[ZenFone 2 General] Floken:
asus never again, from now on, only nexus.
[ZenFone 2 General] Suhas_JS:
I've already switched to Nexus 6P
[ZenFone 2 General] TheSSJ:
Regarding ZenUI 3.0, honestly I don't understand the confusion I read over at zentalk, not even Asus knows what the exact changes vs ZUI2 are :D

http://www.asus.com/zentalk/in/forum.php?mod=redirect&goto=findpost&ptid=77874&pid=383422

Anyways, I think some skilled themer/app-changer will port the UI to our Zenfones once it's clear what changes from v2 to v3
[ZenFone 2 General] micuzzo77:
i'm a litle warried about no update for betatester. if asus release mm update to beta tester today, they only have 24 days to test the update, find bugs, send bugs to asus and asus fix it before end of Q2. Or people claiming themselfs betatester are fake or asus will deliver us a buggy version for mm
[ZenFone 2 General] holymoz:
What's Zenui? is the launcher? I think there are alot of launchers out there, I use nova for years, no problem if asus doesn't update it, but will be mad if mm never come or come buggy.
[ZenFone 2 General] t0per666:
Sold mine already and bought old budget phone MOTO X 2ND GEN PURE for 8,000 PHP.
[ZenFone 2 General] quicksilver53:
Zen UI is the user interface or skin that is on top of Stock Android. HTC uses Sense UI and Samsung uses Touch Whiz.
[ZenFone 2 General] ChiDi9901:
I am still hoping that a friend of mine will buy my ZF2. Since he isn't a "nerd" like us he won't worry about software updates and whatever is considered important for us. He just needed a phone with a bit better performance and bigger storage, that's all he cares. My ZF2 currently just sits around at home with little to none usage. I currently use a phone that is one year old already but its user experience didn't get worse at all unlike the ZF2. What a shame. Life lesson; you get what you pay for (unless it's discounted).
