My 256 black also shipped, 8/20 estimated arrival. I am poor after buying this phone so no vacation for me!
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] Mrthankuvrymuch:
64GB black just shipped from B&H! It's time
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] Damionix:
Packaged shipped to be delivered Saturday. I think today is the day they picked to ship all packages out :)
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] pedxing:
Bah, talked to b&h about the 128gb black...due to get to them and ship out on 8/26.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] sedp23:
So has anyone received any info about the silver 64gb or higher? I talked to the live chat and they had no idea when they would get it I'll give it another week or 2 before I cancel my preorder and just get a black one or look for silver elsewhere
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] sedp23:
Just spoke with the customer service at BH Photo they still have no idea when the silver is coming they have the black one in stock u could switch my preorder over to the black one and have it shipped out today.

I'm going to wait it out 1 of 2 more weeks if no news by then I'll just get the black one
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] Sirius716:
Yesterday, I had them switch my Silver one to the Black one because I got tired of waiting. It shipped yesterday as well and will be here tomorrow.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] sedp23:
U know I might just do that too we get 30 days with it and if the silver isn't in within 30 days it probably won't be worth it lol might do this tomorrow since I'm off Thursday and Friday
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] Alique01:
was able to get 256gb black for 499 on Amazon with no tax. you would need to sign up for their card though to get the 100 discount. it shipped today and is going to be delivered Friday 8/16
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] Sirius716:
Ok, so I have been using the Zenfone 6 for a few hours now. I remember reading about the Z6 having terrible screen brightness. The screen brightness on the thing is excellent.

Also, does anyone know the details about that issue with the latest update for this phone? I have an update that is ready to install and I'm scared to install it lol
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] sedp23:
.167 was the update giving some people problems. I've also read that they've pulled that update to avoid the problems so I'm not sure

Lucky Man

Mine is supposed to be delivered today and I can't wait to see if it answers some burning questions I have. Does it allow you to make duplicate of any app, or does it have a list of app you can duplicate.

Also, does it have private SMS contacts where the SMS arrives to contacts but are not displayed in the messaging app, except by some code. Lastly, can you lock apps?

Thanks.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] _jis_:
It has a list of app you can duplicate.

It has Google Messages and there isn't such a feature as I know.

You can lock apps.

I don't use these features.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] Damionix:
For Sale

Well, I got mine yesterday and I wasn't disappointed with the phone. It is everything I expected and more. However, there features that I just cannot do without. I have been in the Xiaomi ecosystem for quite sometike, and things like Dual apps for any app or call recording, private SMS, etc are just too good to let go. Plus I just couldn't get push notification to work for Google Voice.

Anyway, all that being said, I have a Brand New Zenfone 6 256GB for sale. I have rooted it however. So if you didn't get it on time or don't want to wait for it to be back in stock. I'm ready to sell mine.

Thanks.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] klinsy:
T mobile, I can confirm no VoLTE just like previous version of zenfone. It's a bummer although may not be a deal breaker.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] sedp23:
There should be twin apps on the Zenfone 6 it was on the 5z
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] Damionix:
There is. However, you can only do for a set of approved apps. Unlike Xiaomi's where you can clone any app. I use it for Mi Home for example where I setup for US servers and China servers as I am deep in the Xiaomi ecosystem.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] neo_lithic3K:
I have the 64GB US version and I already updated to 174 without issue. If I'm not mistaken, the root cause from the previous update was a hardware issue affecting some motherboards. If that's the case, then better know now so you can get a replacement from Asus.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] Damionix:
Anyone Looking to Buy?

I am selling mine. I can still return it but I figure someone here would want it since they are all sold out on all the sites. Comes with 2 brand new cases sealed in the package.

Inbox me if interested. If I don't get any offers, I will return it. No pressure :)
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] Ceruleancerise:
They will accept the return of a rooted phone? You sure about that? :confused:
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] sedp23:
I'll probably be cancelling my order bh photo still has no information on the phone or nothing from Asus as to when they will receive more phones. This is the worst release I've seen
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] Damionix:
I am not sure if they will accept it. I won't mention it of course. But instead of going through that, I figured I sell it here to one of you guys, since most of you will root it anyway.

It is Brand New. I used it for 4 hours (rooting, and checking compatibility and features with Xiaomi services). 256GB. I am not asking for more but the price I paid plus tax and shipping. I will include 1 Free Brand New case.

If not, I will put it on Swappa, before attempting to return it. Whatever the case gents :)

Might try to contact "Mobile Advance", I was able to get my 6/64 from them via Amazon (had $200 gift card money to burn) and it's been a great phone with no issues. Their site shows none in stock but they may have a good ETA, they've been helpful answering my order questions etc.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] x1tymez:
Are they still sold out? Gezzz.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] x86cpu:
And got it today, and back it went. It would not power on, so I could not even anything out even. Even charged it for over an hour and still nothing at all. Not power, DOA. Refund only and none in stock.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] biglydogg:
spoke to Asus today on phone. they are expecting them to be in stock sometime in September. did not specify a date
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] epic4GEE:
That is sad to hear, one with the motherboard issue I assume. If so I was hoping that issue would have been taken care of long before the U.S. release. Hopefully just an isolated issue and also hope you get a proper working one sooner than later.

The NA release has not been a smooth one for asus. I saw the black 8GB/256GB for preorder on amazon and decided to jump on that instead of the 6GB/64GB and was surprised to see it was shipped from chino CA, just a couple days after ordering, so already in the US. Then hearing pretty much no one can get one is a bit odd...maybe due to the motherboard issue, asus had to pull a lot of stock back and refill? Or they grossly underestimated demand for NA? Whatever it is, I hope people start getting their phones soon. Well worth it IMO, everything I expected and then some.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] biglydogg:
So I happened to come across one last Friday on Swappa. Knew I had to buy it quick. Was only $495. Should have it Tuesday. Hope its worth the wait!

So i joined to give an update about this phone.

I spoke to someone yesterday @ B&H and they said that they wont get the shipment in til the end of the month! Which is crazy to me!

Ordered on Aug 5 and have to wait 2 months for a phone is kinda wild!

Will still wait it out thought since ive waited this long - Plus being in Canada - not many options to get it here
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] MisterSavage:
Apparently there may be some units in Canada starting Sept 10. With ASUS you never know and how many units they will bless Canada with. Source: https://www.techaholic.ca/2019/07/buying-a-zenfone-6-in-canada/
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] jahmark420:
Ya I investigated and couldn't find anywhere that was selling this outside of B&H

If anyone can find it that would be appreciated!
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] MisterSavage:
Best Buy Canada had a temporary listing up, but has since been removed for the 6GB/64GB Midnight Black. If they post it up again, you would need to jump on that pretty quick. It was showing as $799 with a $50 discount special offer. I'm thinking their units are likely extremely limited. The good thing is you may not have to wait and it will ship right away.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] jahmark420:
Damn didnt even see that!

But nothing on their site - will keep looking but going away next saturday for vacation so i might just wait.

[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] MisterSavage:
My biggest gripe is that ASUS hasn't been forthright with people. It's a matter of respect. The ASUS US online store is dead, dead, dead and has been for weeks now! No estimates, nothing. Then one retailer only and it's mid September? I do believe that yes, they will reduce the price when it comes back in stock. At least for Canada, not sure about US. I've seen the date pushed in Canada from 9/11 to 9/13 to now unknown. I would wait at this point because there is no way it will still take weeks. Painful yes, but units have to be days out only.

So how many people still looking for this phone. I called Asus they said end of September. Geezz
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] MisterSavage:
I believe some units are shipping out of B&H. Those pre-ordered units of course, the 6GB/64GB. Canada likely to get some available on the 18th. Amazon.ca had about 4 units that sold out pretty fast. Depending on who you talked to from ASUS? I wouldn't trust a thing they have to say, unless you have connections up the food chain. Obtuse and dense is how I would describe the people you come across on that first level of communication. Even when you get a supervisor involved, the level of obtuse is still prevalent. Aside from that ASUS support is great.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] sedp23:
B&H just tweeted me this

View attachment 4820974
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] MisterSavage:
ASUS is keeping their information so close to their vest, would a support agent have access to those details? For all you know that person is referencing the Twilight Silver version. I can confirm that 6GB/64GB units have been shipped out to fulfill orders by B&H this week. If Canada is set to get inventory on Sept 18th then I don't see how the posted info in that tweet should be considered reliable. The release is a farce, I'm not defending ASUS on that. I am saying that it's not wise to believe dates that are being thrown around by customer service agents.

Get actual Samsung Edge Lighting Notifications with any app while your screen is off!​

Since we all know Samsung only did half the job with this feature, this app will enable you to trigger Edge Lighting (the real one !) when your screen is off. It works with any app by reading the app notification creating a new temporary notification that triggers edge lighting (you won't notice it in your notification list).

You can set custom color filters for your apps, based on their names.

Real Samsung Edge Lighting

Extremely minimal battery drain

No fake AOD Screen

Works with ANY app (including Messenger!)

Initial setup is a bit tedious, but that's mostly Samsung's fault.

Any suggestion to improve the app is -of course- welcome!

Does this app only notify once when you get a notification or does it also make the Edge Lighting come on at intervals until you check the notifications?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zunderstruck:
No it just works only once like regular Edge Lighting does.

It's a very required feature so I've been thinking about it. But every solution I've tried so far is way too heavy on the battery since I have to wake the phone up every time I wanna trigger edge lighting (which would typically be less than every minute). You don't wan't to get a text 5mn after you go to sleep and have your battery empty by morning (which could make you very late for work).

I think solutions that only use AOD like HoleyLight or AOD notifications are the way to go if you want a reminder for unread notifications.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Cyclops1055:
I wanted continuous reminder with Edge Lighting, like every 30 seconds until I check the notification, I've been using an app called Always On Edge - Edge Lighting and it works very doesn't eat up battery at all, plus when I go to bed my phone goes on the charger and DND is turned on, the Edge lighting doesn't come on. Using on my Note 9.

[Hardware Hacking General] CJSnet:
Hi, I use a Google Nexus 5 smartphone as the hub for my smart home. This means I leave it plugged in all the time. However twice now the battery has expanded and popped the back off the phone.

I don't really need a battery in there at all as the phone is mains powered, but if I remove the battery the phone will no longer boot when connected to the mains.

Is there a way I can hotwire something inside so it will completely bypass the battery but will still boot up? I'm experienced with soldiering & multimeters.

Thanks!
[Hardware Hacking General] MLX:
The most near thing you can do is connect another battery's positive and negative to your phone's battery connectors and then just put a 100k resistance between negative and the other pin (assuming it has 3, if it has 4 just try any of them). Don't try putting USB wires there as they deliver 5v and your phone needs 3.6~4v.

So what I want to do is switch this phone to straight talk but want the att bloatware off this. If I install unlocked firmware and root the device would that make it unlocked? Like not carrier locked. Straight talk said I can already use a Sim despite it being locked but I wanna unlock it myself.

I don't think att will yet and not sure if they will at all. I'm converting my chapter 13 bankruptcy to a 7 on Tuesday and att bill is rolled into it so the phones will be mine once that is discharged but not sure if they will unlock them right after or if it will take months,that's why I'm asking this. I already reinstalled att firmware on this phone because I tried to install a custom room and messed up due to the bootloader issue of it being v5 I think.
