[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCHIPSS:
Anyone here used the Asus Zenfone 2 Laser ZE551K? What is your opinion on it? Is it good value for what you paid? Or is it full of problems and not worth the trouble? :)
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trotter516:
It is a good phone but the ZE551ML is better. The ZE551KL is currently 229 at B&H Photo but the 4GB/64GB ZE551ML is just 249. If you go with the gray or red versions you get a ZenPower battery pack and a ZenFlash for free; the black one comes with a free ZenPower pack.

I am currently using a ZE551KL while my ZE551ML is off on RMA so I speak from experience. The ZE551KL does not measure up to the ZE551ML: no fast charge, no NFC, less storage, less RAM, worse battery life, slower CPU. I am not saying the ZE551KL is not a good phone by any means, just that for 30 more you can have a much better one.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nujaxx:
Hold off for the zenfone 3. I'm using a 551kl right now running unofficial cyanogen 13. And it's pretty smooth. With the right apps installed. But the new line of zenfones are far beyond these ones. They should be on the market soon.

But really...for the money you can't get much better than either variants of the zenfone 2. They're solid units.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] argblah:
Yes, the ZE551ML is slightly faster, but the ZE551KL is often 199 at Amazon and other places.

Some minor ZE551KL advantages over ZE551ML:

- The camera module on the ZE551KL is the same as the ZE551ML, except the ZE551KL focuses much faster because of the laser autofocus.

- Gorilla Glass 4 as opposed to 3. (although, that probably doesn't matter much as both phones will readily shatter if they land face down and take a hit near the edge of the glass)

- The battery on the ZE551KL is replaceable

- If you drop the phone and need to replace the glass and display module (~30 dollars on ebay) the process is easier on the ZE551KL due to the user removable battery and single mainboard architecture

Just my personal opinion, but I think the ZE551KL will also get Marshmallow sooner. A model identical except for the RAM already got the update. Since they are dealing with Intel hardware on the ZE551ML, I presume that will give them the most trouble. They even saw fit to change the release date from "Q2 2016" to "starting Q2 2016".
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trotter516:
I would not say slightly faster. There is a big difference in performance between the phones. I think it is a shame that Intel has dropped out of the mobile CPU business as their chips are real powerhouses.

- I have not found the ZE551KL to focus any faster in my experience. I seem to get more blurred shots with it than my ZE551ML.

- You are correct. I use tempered glass screen protectors on any phone I have so it is not a big matter to me. Any version of GG is better than none.

- I do like the removable battery but it is not an issue to me. If I seldom stay with a phone long enough for the battery to become an issue.

- I can see that one. My ZE551ML was RMAed due to the glass/display module developing a silver outline from the glue separating/leaking. Had I been smart I would have replaced it myself or had it done locally; after a month without my phone and me emailing and raising some hell Asus has finally offered to give me a replacement as they said they were having trouble getting the parts for mine.

Hold off buying Asus phones in general. Slow to nothing software development from Asus.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LuK1337:
This is trashdroid, phones get slow or no software updates unless it's Nexus but then you're going to pay much more and lose features like msim or SDcard slot.

Tbh for $200 you can't get better device ( unless it's some xiaomi from China lol ) also if you don't care about warranty you can just go for CM which works rather well on this phone.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danannn:
I agree with the slow to no software development from Asus. And I have to disagree on the CM alternative: it's only nightlies and some crucial phone functionality are either a hit or miss (e.g. I gave up on it bc my mic wouldnt work properly when using loud speaker).

So, in software terms, it's very bad. But you can live with stock if you root or with CM if you dont need stability.

Hardware wise, it's a good bang for the buck.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LuK1337:
> I gave up on it bc my mic wouldnt work properly when using loud speaker

If you meant low volume then I fixed that some time ago.

[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quicksilver53:
I'm sure she will be happy with it. I'm using one as well as my ZE551ML and I think it is a pretty good device for $280.00 Canadian. Not quite as fast, but pretty darn good for the value.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danannn:
Oh well, just as I posted that MM update was released.

Great! I'll give it another shot soon.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCHIPSS:
Does this phone actually support a 256GB micro SD (as per GSMArena)? Or should her buy a smaller size SD card? =)
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LuK1337:
I don't think you'll find many people who tried 256G sdcard on this device.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OfficerJimLahey:
This phone supports SDXC (like any phone above the 32GB limit SD card size), thus can handle capacities up to 2TB, as long as it is formatted exFAT (for example, at least not FAT32). 256GB is the limit only so far as it is reasonable to barely find 256GB cards out there this year, as 128GB was the limit for the ZE551ML last year. They are just using sizes that would be accessible to consumers.

I wouldn't worry about getting the highest capacity card, unless there is a use case for it. 256GB is a lot of media. I use 64GB MicroSD, and for day-to-day use (not storing TWRP backups), it is plenty.

FWIW, I have both the 551ML (2GB RAM/16GB ROM version) and the 551KL (3/16), although is a tad slower than the former, the latter makes up for it in battery life (which is mostly just a symptom of a "fresh phone", since the 5551ML would have worn down a bit in the past year), although in their prime either could get three days of charge (551KL still seems to edge out, in that the battery is easily replaceable).

BTW, just got the 6.0.1 update. :D

:crying:

Hello, I've got an issue, that is not SW related, but rather HW related.

Well, here's the story. I went to beach, took a photo, sent it via whatsapp to my friend. Everything was fine.

Then I put my phone in bag. 30 mins later, I took it out and wanted to take a picture. But the picture was blurry, it's like all the time blurry. Tried to reboot, did even a factory reset. The issue still persists. It looks like some dirt got behind my camera lens and that's why it's not focusing anymore on objects that are more than 30cm away.

In this picture(DSC_00002) you can see how the focus works, if the phone is like 30 cm away from the glass.

And this(DSC_00003) is a close up shot, a lot better. You can get clear photos, with excellent detail.

Another detail I can add, that when I try to focus objects that are more far away, the camera somehow focuses on the middle only. Like a circle in the middle, just like a bubble effect. I can't even show how weird it is. 0_o

Updated. I added a picture of the lens. You can see at the bottom on the lens, inside, there's a little white dot right next to the reflection of light. I think that may be the cause? How can something like that get even behind the lens cover?

Anyone could tell me, if my lens are damaged or it could be a tiny piece of dirt behind my camera lens? Because when you look at the lens in sunlight, you can see a little particle over the lens. And that may be the problem, why the focus is broken. I just don't get it... The phone was supposed to be dust proof. And it was supposed to be sealed in all ways. It was once taken to a repair shop, to change the LCD, because it had USB burn marks and so on. And there it might be not sealed tightly enough. But that's the front screen, which got replaced, not the back of my phone. The phone even doesn't qualify for the waterproof test. It just shows that it's not waterproof. Even if I tested the pressure levels in my phone. Should I take it back to repair shop.

Thank you in advance.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] CorruptedSanity:
Ok I want to syncronise my TyTN II with 2 computers. My computer at work and my laptop at home. I dont want to syncronise contacts on any PC. I do want to sync calendar items in the work computer only.

Now when I open Tools > Options and then settings on ActiveSync on the computer, I see 3 computers

- Microsoft Exchange

- ADMA PC (adma is the company I work at)

- Windows PC

Now my question is, where is my home PC? What is Microsoft Exchange?

Even when I connect my TyTN II to my home laptop, I don't see the name of my laptop.

How do I know which one im connected to?

Also, when the screen is open and tilted and im in phone menu (ready to dial a number) the Windows key (on hard keyboard) doesnt work!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] unwired4:
In would guess windows pc is the laptop. If you connect it, then open active sync on the device and it will tell you which pc you are connected to.

Did you try to set up a push email account with an exchange server?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] CorruptedSanity:
How do I know which one im connected to? Its not highlighted or has a tick sign for me to know. Im also guessing the laptop is the windows pc, but why didnt it pick up the computer name?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] unwired4:
It will say " connected" when you are.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] CorruptedSanity:
It says connected on the main screen, but connected to what? Microsoft Exchange? ADMA PC? or Windows PC?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] unwired4:
The Main Screen? If you mean the pc screen, then please read m post above:

Open Activesync on your device, and it will tell you which machine you are connected to.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] CorruptedSanity:
ahhh I see! Open ActiveSync on my device, I thought you meant device as in laptop/desktop.

Sony Latest Home Launcher + Custom Icon Pack
[Other SmartWatches] Tornator:
Hi,

I got a Ulefone GW01 watch and i was unhappy that it is not possible to have custom watch faces.

So i flashed my GW01 with a NO.1 G3 firmware and now i can add own watch faces easily by creating the "clock" folder in "mass storage" mode.

Here is what i did:

1. Install Windows 10 MKT VCOM USB Drivers 32 or 64 bit:

tehnotone.com/windows-10-mtk-vcom-usb-drivers-for-32-64-bit-drivers-installation-tutorial

used file: Windows_10_MTK_VCOM_USB_Preloader_Drivers_tehnotone.com.zip

I need to use this driver, as i run WIN10 PRO and the driver included to the flash tool did not worked.

2. Get the latest No.1 G3 firmware:

en.001phone.cn/download-44.html

Download the version depending on your language needs.

I used version B: goo.gl/ixzX0j

filename: R02S-G3_NO1_PLUS_128_T5_L2_G10_B_160304.rar

Extract the archive and check the firmware update docu inside.

There are also drivers included, which did not worked for me on win 10 PRO.

FYI: Ensure not to connect the watch with USB starting the flash tool.

! Ensure that the watch is switched off when you connect it ! (long press button) !

Follow the steps and finally start "download" in the flash tool. Then connect the watch via USB. Otherwise it will not find the watch and you wait forever...

3. Start the watch again and create the folder "clock" in "mass storage" mode on your watch and place your custom watchfaces.

-->done

Some remarks:

Unfornatly I did not backed up the original firmware, so it is lost. I was to lazy to check how to do a backup.

As the NO.1 G3 has a SIM slot, you will get a IMEI error message if you check the quick settings (move finger from top to bottom, not availabe in original firmware). I guess this is not relevant.

I had a bug in the original firmware that the "height" was not stored properly in the Pedometer. This works now with the new firmware.

I only use the "Mediatek SmartDevice" app to connect to the phone.

Everything seems to work fine.

Regards,

Tornator
[Other SmartWatches] adempozhari:
Yes, height does not work properly on the gw01 firmware. Thanks for sharing
[Other SmartWatches] winderic:
Nice. Beside able to custom watch faces and fix the height issues. Any other new features compare original? Or is G3 firmware much better?
[Other SmartWatches] Tornator:
Hi,

There is a "torchlight" app which only shows a white screen.

See: http://xdaforums.com/smartwatch/oth...oming-soon-t3304683/post66665260#post66665260

If you press then the button, the clock is shown as "always on".

Nice. But don't expect a long runtime.

Unfortunatly i broke the glass of my clock, so i cannot play with it anymore, but i guess with "always on" you get max 5 h runtime.

Hi [MENTION=7551956]Tornator[/MENTION],

Very good news.

Thanks for the informacion.

I want make this mod too, but I have the following doubts:

[IMG="Flashtools"]https://s31.postimg.org/9hw9budq3/Flashtools_GW01.jpg[/IMG]

In flashtools have program to have the risks in the options according to the image?

Then just press Download and expect to complete the cycle (100%)?

The scatter file is KCT02A_WT_11C_BB.cfg?

You spoke of the possibility of making a backup.

It is possible to Flashtools? I can do it and send you, you just have to give me the steps to do so.

Regards,

Jorge
[Other SmartWatches] Tornator:
Hi Jorge,

yes the scatter file is KCT02A_WT_11C_BB.cfg .

I have no idea how to do a backup.

I have also no idea about risks when flashing does not work properly. I guess it is bricked then.

But no risk - no fun.

When you installed the driver before, you now can switch off the watch (log press button) and do NOT connect it yet.

Then press "download", wait a second for the "try to connect" message and then you can connect the watch.

It took 1-2 minutes to see the "green ring" = ok.

FYI: My watch is not working anymore, as i tried to open it and by this the display broke.

I ordered a new one, but this will take some days.

If someone tries to open it, too: There are 4 screws on the back. Remove them and you can open it easily. Do not press !

Inside there are 2 other screws. If you remove them, you can separate the electronic from the watch body.

Good luck,

Tornator
[Other SmartWatches] winderic:

Very tempted to do it. Just wondering does the g3 have clock face show steps and batt life? Cause I quite like the one on gw01.

---------- Post added at 01:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:30 PM ----------

No worries. Just realised the firmware come with flash tool and that's what you guys use. I didn't see any port on watch guess you guys connect thru charging dock? Haven have time to try on pc.
[Other SmartWatches] Tornator:
- you need to use the charging dock to connect with the PC.

- I remember that there were 6 watch faces. Some show steps and battery. One shows additionally the current heart rate (if enabled to run continuously, otherwise the last measure).

- Additional custom watch faces cannot show steps, battery, heartbeat. Only the time with custom clock hands and background.

- I would try to do a backup first. In case you don't like the new watch faces and you want to have the original back.

Regards, Tornator
[Other SmartWatches] winderic:
Managed to flash the watch now to G3. Didnt like the watch face but i didn't do a backup cause i tried to follow the steps but just can't seem to work.

Anyway, beside the watch face, i quite like you can swap down for quick access on the bluetooth and volume. The firmware also fix the height issues.

Hopefully there will be updated firmware coming soon and able to customize the watch face to include steps, heartbeat and battery life...etc
[Other SmartWatches] winderic:
anyone know how do you determine if you can flash the watch to another firmware? I was thinking if there is any other firmware we can flash it. Thanks
