[ZenFone 2 General] quicksilver53:
Got it for my Galaxy S5 3 weeks ago. Also got it on my brothers LG G3 2 weeks ago. I don't mind waiting until it is tested and out of Beta. Running Beta MM on my ZE551 ML, so I am content right now. Patience is a virtue.
[ZenFone 2 General] ChiDi9901:
So, it's 1st July already and Q2 is officially over. No update anywhere to be seen and this shows that Asus has failed. How's that? Well, they promised that they will release it at the end of Q2 and they have to brake the promise. That shows that we can't trust anything in Asus anymore. Of course, they shouldn't have made that promise if they know that they would have needed more time for the development. But it looks like that Asus itself don't even know when they are going to release it. To all the fanboys/fangirls here, you can defend Asus as much as you want, but you need to realise that not everything is perfect with Asus' mobile section. And you should also accept critics even though I know you hate to read or see it. You are the consumer and you have your rights too. Don't let Asus play with you around and tell them that you can not accept this kind of behaviour. Fanboy-ish behaviour is annoying and not helpful at all. You cannot ignore mistakes forever and pretend that nothing has happened.

We should remind ourselves that Asus has called the ZF2 a flagship device in 2015, and not just some midrange device that are for beginners. Now, look, the official software as of today is 5.0. Pretty much just one version above Android KitKat which is see by the Android community as an outdated operating system. Ok, Asus did some security patches in between which is a fine thing, but why would they refuse to update to let's say 5.1.1 at least, which is Android Lollipops major bugfix by Google. So, basically, Asus tried to fix the problems itself instead of taking over the patch from Google. The ZF2 is an Android device, and not only Asus should tinker around with the software, pretending the OS as only their work. Now, many older flagships has reached ar least 5.1.1 for sure (exept maybe carrier controlled phones, but that's another problem) and the Zenfone 2 is still nowhere near more up-to-date software. Perhaps Asus is just too busy playing around with their own user interface and launcher, not caring enough about the base Android version. Even more surprising is that it looks like that a MM update will bring not much new. The only positive thing I could see is that that they start debloating the firmware. But, as some kind of some bad joke, they throw in some kind of Dr. Whatever bull**** anti virus app which an Android operating system doesn't need at all.

Here we are, the beta has rolled out, the official release has been delayed and people here are still being too optimistic, or more likely, being delusional thinking that everything is OK and normal. A company can only improve their strategy when they see their own mistakes. If we don't tell them that something isn't right, they will just go on doing the same mistakes like now. Remember, a company needs consumers, that means our words ate very important and can have some effect on things.

Asus, you're going into the wrong direction.
[ZenFone 2 General] kenbo111:
OK, my problem is not really that you are complaining. It's that you are complaining HERE. This is a developers forum not an Asus forum. If you want to tell them your grievances go to asus talk and do it there. Doing it here just makes you sound like a whiner, because there's nothing XDA or any of us can do about it.
[ZenFone 2 General] ChiDi9901:
Well, that's strange if you say that. Because this thread has also nothing much to do with development in its sense. Nobody can do much about the delay. And I didn't expect help from anybody, why do you think so? Aren't we discussing here?

Asus missed the Q2 deadline for the ZE55xML's. Not the end of the world. Verizon customers wait way longer for updates if they even get any.

My backup phone, a ZE551KL, got MM this morning. Nothing special other than it setting a crap load of stuff back to default settings.
[ZenFone 2 General] qoghnus:
What I expect from ASUs in MM is

Better Battery Life and Power management...

Better Ram management...

Nothing more
[ZenFone 2 General] ElmirBuljubasic:
Yes but they also give a timeline, if i multi millionaire company can't keep it up i don't think they are even worth it. Also OEM =/= verizon
[ZenFone 2 General] vadim6385:
Wow, this is the second time that the manufacturer of my phone promises an update, than backs out of their promise.

First it was with Samsung Note 2 and the Lollipop update, when Samsung teased us for over six months with hints and suggestions that Note 2 will be updated to L, then I got fed up with them when instead of the L update, they released another 4.4.2 version, which made the N2 slow to the point of borderline unusable, and told that N2 isn't going to be updated to L (although there are still some poor souls in Samsung N2 section, that are searching for hints about the update on various Samsung twitter accounts), and switched to Zenfone 2.

Now it's the same story all over again with ASUS. I think that the only way to get M for me is to wait until my warranty's over, root my phone, and continue my Search For The Incredible with a custom AOSP rom.
[ZenFone 2 General] quicksilver53:
Just install the MM Beta and you will be set until it arrives. I did, and I have had no problems so far.[emoji2]

[ZenFone 2 General] kenbo111:
Because my opinion is different than yours I'm looking for trouble? I'm sorry if it comes off that way to you. But, I'm just expressing my opinion just like everyone else here.
[ZenFone 2 General] hasan217:
They're just wasting time. I expected that by this time we would have had not only marshmallow but also root, Xposed and an unlocked bootloader with it.

I just saw their latest beta update.. They are adding Facebook, Facebook messenger and Instagram as default system apps. If you have already installed it'll convert it to system apps.

Its like going backwards with this OEM.

First give a bootloader unlocking tool and then locking it again with an update.

Removing bloat-ware on lollipop and then adding it back on marshmallow..
[ZenFone 2 General] mibses:
Lovely. Lots of little privacy-killers and battery-killers, now as system apps! Just f'ing lovely.

Thank goodness for the fine folks here working on CM. It saves my sanity.
[ZenFone 2 General] VastoBrian:
Zenfone Zoom just got official marshmallow http://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone-Zoom-ZX551ML/HelpDesk_Download/. First intel device to get it so its definitely coming soon.
[ZenFone 2 General] bitfed:
We are allowed to complain here. I've taken enough abuse over time from those who take any slight against ASUS personally to want to just say told you so.

I'm not mad, I'm patient. I said before they would break their promise. Many of your argued, and you're back here to continue arguing with people who state the truth: ASUS really has given us many reasons to be distrustful of their marketing.

Whether that is expressed with frustration or patience doesn't matter, it's still true.

I too am very thankful that even if/when ASUS lets us down in the future we still have the developers on these forums. We're it not for them I'd be very angry with ASUS.

ASUS should just turn source over to XDA devs, it would save them money and us a lot of time and frustration.
[ZenFone 2 General] VastoBrian:
New deadline again, apparently set for the end of this month. God damn it Asus. Thank God the devs are hard at work, cm13 is such a joy to use. http://www.optimaitalia.com/blog/2016/07/02/nuovo-termine-massimo-per-laggiornamento-marshmallow-su-asus-zenfone-2-dichiarazioni-ufficiali/327615
[ZenFone 2 General] Frankenberrie:
If you cannot wait then install the beta and deal with the bugs. As for me I know it's coming and prefer to wait for a firmware that has been ironed clean. I run my own business so understand when sometimes time frames cannot be met. I stand by if you think you can do a better job.... maybe Asus has openings for complainers
[ZenFone 2 General] bitfed:
I don't see anywhere in their text where they said they couldn't wait. If we've demonstrated anything is that waiting is one of our abilities as ASUS customers.

Our issue is the history of claims and promises that ultimately guided us towards buying, perhaps, the wrong "flagship" device. If I'd known this would be the lowest priority device for their devs, I'd have bought something else, possibly even a different ASUS device at a higher price point.

But even then, I'm happy with my device still. And happier still learning not to believe anything ASUS says.

People have a perfectly valid right to come here and express their experiences. Get a job at ASUS or get a life if you need to spend your time here telling people how they should feel about being let down by ASUS.

Or at least offer valid advice like "If you can't wait, sell your device 6 months ago when it still had value, instead of waiting for ASUS to fulfill their obligations to their customers."
[ZenFone 2 General] MikeyLee:
Who gives a crap? It's no different from lollipop. Its not faster. Battery isn't any better and its more difficult to root. So quit crying about it cause you're not missing anything. Oh and the term "promise" was never mentioned by ASUS with regard to firmware updates.
[ZenFone 2 General] Mister_Simon:
I really hope you're joking/trolling. As someone who runs a business I'd expect you, more than anyone else to understand what a commitment means.

I couldnt sympathize with members who were complaining BEFORE the Q2 deadline. It should have been met fairly easily by the ASUS team.

Noone wants a buggy release. This isn't about meeting a compromise.

I expected a clean, bug-free release by end of Q2.

The beta program is there so they can test their builds weeks in advance to anticipate any changes and not on their end of self-appointed timeline.
[ZenFone 2 General] faddyie:
all the update lovers will never buy asus device atleast i am not gonna
[ZenFone 2 General] krasCGQ:
Then you should go to Nexus/Sony devices... :silly:
[ZenFone 2 General] Acca85:
Well they did make an official announcement.. that's the promise.

I personally want MM just for the permission system, and tbh I'm contemplating the idea of not updating at all and give the CM guys the time to solve their bugs (I think the MM source will be of help) and update to CM 13 from rooted stock 5.0.

The fact that it is harder to root is not necessarily a bad thing; the majority of the users are normal people that don't know that much about technology, if you give them a safer phone it will be more unlikely that their phone will be affected by some malware that gains root access, installs itself as system app and steals data or shows adds; you'll be surprised to know haw many people every day pay good money to have their phone "cleaned".

The fact that Facebook is now a system app demonstrates this, the phone is good to go as it is out of the box for them.

The Facebook app is a malware that steals your information and shows you ads, and it's also draining your battery :p.
[ZenFone 2 General] krasCGQ:
Could you explain this? :p
[ZenFone 2 General] BobboVilla:
I don't know. Maybe you browsed to a site that has a Facebook ad or something? What do you want me to explain?
[ZenFone 2 General] krasCGQ:
I said that because you 'mentioned' that Facebook app is malware. If it's true, then we all should stop using Facebook :p
[ZenFone 2 General] BobboVilla:

Yes, you should. Malware or not, but this is a resource guzzling app which demand permissions to nearly everything you have, probably including an arm, a leg, and selling your firstborn to slavery (didn't read all the list, just tapped Cancel).
[ZenFone 2 General] Dan_Jacques:
Firstborn to slavery? Hunger games or Game of Thrones?

Yeah. Facebook apps have some strange permissions.
[ZenFone 2 General] Acca85:
Economics is based on the exchange of goods and services and Facebook is selling a service, if you are not giving them money then what are you giving? You are giving them yourself, you are the good you are exchanging, they show you ads they KNOW you like, for a profit.

Combine that knowledge with the fact that some people like me couldn't care less of where someone they used to know is or is doing or what he thinks and there you have it, for us Facebook is a malware.

I'm not selling myself for this; but most people are ok with this and they drive the market and so Asus puts the app they like in the rom.

I'm better browsing Facebook using mobile browser instead. I even do cleanup on my Facebook profile to get rid most of these privacy issues (but not eliminating them). Microsoft and even Google do the same (but in different way, though)...

Facebook's ad marketing strategy doesn't work well here, because most of Indonesian Facebook users are trolling the ad instead :silly:

Note:

Some apps especially that popular here (360 Security, etc) have some unrelated permissions (like access to Microphone, Contacts, and Messages) which proof them as 'dangerous' app...

well. you brought asus that is why, they promise to deliver but it will always be late. from all my past asus devices (padfone to transformer to zenfone) they always deliver the patch..... before warrenty end. you can't run pokemon go on this device either, i'm switching phone next year since the dual sim (2g) function will crease working in my country to make capacity for 3/4G
[ZenFone 2 General] jayesh:
Every last device i have of any manufacturer, made in the last two years is now on MM. Every last one of them except the asus flagship.

What a crock. Wish i could sell it, but it has the resale value of a half eaten meal.

Good at least i opted for the 128 gb edition. it will serve me well as a music player
[ZenFone 2 General] jman0:
"Sarcasm mode on"

Anyway, besides the delays and all that buzz, I guess your phones are not working at all, since they look broken until MM update arrives.

"Sarcasm mode off"

Keep your hopes real. MM is not such a big leap as KK was in the past, so don't come complaining when you see little performance increase after the update.
[ZenFone 2 General] kidnova:
Well, my Galaxy Note 4 is still on 5.1.1, so it's not on every phone released in the last two years, but ASUS does need to get this released already.
[ZenFone 2 General] phyniks:
Does MM really make that difference...esp regarding battery,does it really make a hit in that aspect,?
[ZenFone 2 General] jayesh:
I am sorry to say, but that's just your carrier or something. The international model and most others have had it for months now. In this case Samsung has specifically rolled it out ages ago and is not 'beta testing' it months later. Hell my old note 4, currently functioning as a remote, is right up to the June patches on 6.01.

Asus deserves no defense in this matter. They have had enough time.
[ZenFone 2 General] kenbo111:
Well, when we finally do get it, it will be the only x86 phone to have MM on it. Which, I believe, is the reason for the delay anyway.

Hi/Hello everyone!

I own a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (GT-N8000) which I got as a "hand-me-down" from my Aunt, so I really don't know where she buy or get. It works fine then suddenly it hangs and reboots itself and got stuck in the "Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1" Logo/Screen.

-as far as I know its still on its stock ROM and stock recovery

-charging doesn't do anything. won't charge.

[IMG="battery not charging"]https://gyazo.com/cb1a451c8159066fa630c19269890c2e[/IMG]

-I can access download mode

[IMG="download mode"]https://gyazo.com/3a4a71eb99254407a27e210046d2e935[/IMG]

-I can't access recovery mode. When I press Power button and Volume + button "Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1" appears, then a black screen for a couple of seconds, then again "Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1" appears a black screen and it will go on as long as I don't release the buttons.

-I also tried to press Power and Volume + buttons then releasing the power button when the "Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1" appears but to no avail.

- and since I can access download mode, I already tried flashing stock rom, from my country and also tried one from Netherland (coz I read somewhere that when he flashed that Netherlands firmware he saved his device) but also it did nothing. All of my flashing was successful in Odin but won't do anything on my device.

- I also removed the battery for some minutes and put it back hoping that it can fix some problems but still no luck.

I've tried all the solutions on this thread.. http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-10-1/general/n8000-stuck-samsung-logo-t3212923/page5 won't do anything..

I hope someone will enlighten me and help me, i would really appreciate it.

and can someone tell if there's still a fix on this problem without replacing hardware? or is it the only possible fix? Thank you.

and by the way I am no expert when it comes to this, so please bear with me :)

Thank you in advance and cheers XDA Forums
