[ZenFone 2 General] i am oblivion:
I was saying the same thing until someone pointed out an obvious oversight on my part - an official Android M stock rom would mean that the much better custom roms based on 6.0.1 could get even better due to the great minds here on XDA getting access to a Marshmallow rom built specifically for the Z00A/Z008. I'd be fine running DU as is but any additional stability would be a welcome bonus for anyone still hanging on to this particular device. It's more of a respect issue imo that I have a problem with on the OEM end and I gave up my hopeful optimism that Asus would follow through at the end of Q2 which was a ridiculously overdue deadline that they then blew off without a second thought. It's not so much about Marshmallow, which is cool, but already available via many custom roms if you're willing to risk it (not something I see as risky assuming one can read and follow instructions but there's always a - 1% chance you do it all flawlessly and the gremlins give you a brick back anyways. Thems the breaks) and clearly many people do. It's more annoying to be lied to, patronized, ignored, kicked to the side and treated like our dollars didn't matter because the zf3 was on the horizon and Asus made a bad call with x86/Intel and sold a tedious little bastard as their second generation flagship then couldn't deliver the basic quality they promised again and again. Not a prudent move for a company seeking to break in on the smartphone market imo. Samsung can afford to occasionally alienate a large chunk of their customer base because they have enough to spare a few million and bounce back with something good enough to regain any lost sales and then some. Asus overestimated their allure and I wouldn't buy a router, tablet, laptop, desktop or stick of gum with their logo on it at this point. I love my ZF2 for all we've gone through and learned in a short 6 months together :highfive: but there's a good 30+ smaller, newer mid-range device manufacturers pushing out cheaper, faster, cooler and feature filled phones I can definitely find a comparable phone at less than what I paid for my z00a without the poor customer satisfaction that will always tarnish this little beast and I think as customers we have a right, even a responsibility to speak up and let Asus know they made a serious error in judgement with the ZF2 crowd and it will cost them big time. I've moved on to something more reliable, already on 6.0.1, a deal to good to pass up just because I'm not the biggest Samsung fanboy ever - the S7 Edge. Seriously though, that T-Mobile BOGO was too good to let pass me by, plus they're tossing in a year of Netflix, Fitbit2 or a 256GB microSDXC card (which I couldn't say no to as I'm lazy and don't watch Netflix because Kodi) - let's see Asus throw in a free accessory of actual use to their customer that retails for over $100 :rolleyes: They won't even honor their warranty repair commitments half the time. SORRY FOR THE RANT, FEEL FREE TO SKIP IT IF YOU CAN'T HANDLE A LITTLE MORE THAN ONE OR TWO POORLY CONSTRUCTED SENTENCES BEFORE YOUR BRAIN BLEEDS. Sometimes someone's gotta say a little something more than "Asus sucks", "when we get Android M" and "Asus sucks" :angel: I still see the ZF2 owners as a sort of family who all got shafted by deadbeat dads and moms but came here to make the most of an undervalued (by Asus) device. You people rock. Don't let Asus think this is a sound business strategy. You paid for a promise and have a right to be pissed at this point. Take it easy y'all :o
