Jeez this is awful. At this point I may just have to bite the bullet on the overpriced Pixel 3a or something. I've got somebody with a near-broken phone waiting 3 weeks now and still no clear date.

It's on Amazon.de since the 10th June, but shipping says between 1-3 months, so it's like they don't know either.

Amazon Germany updated this morning to say 4-6 weeks. I purchased from Amazon, not a 3rd party listing.

There's got to be a problem as to why there is no availability. Given all the delays and lack of updates from Asus I don't think I'd touch a ZenFone 6 with a sh*tty stick now.

Unfortunately we can not send the following article from your Amazon.de order (# XXX-XXXXXXX-XXXXXXX) from 07th June 2019 as intended:

****

**"Asus ZenFone 6 Dual SIM Smartphone (48 + 13 MP Flip Camera, 6, 4 Inch (16 cm) FHD Display, 128 GB Internal Memory, 6 GB RAM, Android 9.0 Pie, 5000 mAh Battery) - Midnight Black"

Holy God this is a nightmare. I've ordered so many cases and screen protectors like I normally do, which is what is making me not cancel my pre-order. But at this rate, I may just have to buy the one plus 7 pro. And take a hit on the Asus accessories.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] regenwurm16:
They seem to have massive trouble with availability in general as the only model buyable currently in their own online shop is the 64GB model. The 128 GB model is "not orderable" additional to all the silver models and the 256 GB model being stated as "coming soon" since the announcement.

It's a real shame as the phone ticks all the right boxes and even though units have been sent to several developers it won't be very useful if nobody else can get hold of the phone.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] hoxley:
No it does not, it's fake as review is.. I was already buying newly released phone there already and it have been sent month or more later. But feel free to order it there ;)

ASUS are giving all the signs of being unable to organise a nunshoot in a nunnery :( I was debating returning my Oneplus 7 Pro in favour of a zenfone 6 when the ghost touch issue arose, but decided to stick with it. Oh boy, am I glad I did.

It's a crying shame because on paper the 8Gig model ticked all my boxes, but this display of total ineptitude has steered me off ASUS completely and leaves me unable to trust a word they say.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] DoubleM101:
Anyone got the phone from Amazon.de?

Amazon.de updated the status from 1 to 3 months to "Temporarily out of stock".

It's still available on the official Asus store on my country but i really want to buy it on Amazon.

I really can't understand why Asus doesn't ship the phones to other resellers.

[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] subhani:

[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] snakeman65:
Another week, another no show. Anyone still think the 20th at the latest responses from last week are likely? I am starting to worry that there is a technical reason behind the delay but I hope not! Laptopoutlet cs are saying they are hopeful for this week but it doesn't sound like they have had anything much from Asus. It would be lovely if Asus would actually respond officially even once! Just a simple, we are sorry for the delays they are on the way type message would be nice instead of the complete silence that we've had so far!

Hadn't seen the new comments. I am the 'annoyed reader' from the article!! :)
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] jaseman:
Well, I wouldn't be too anxious to get one yet. So far I have read that the camera module vibrates/rattles (makes noise) when the cell phone vibration motor is activated. (I'm not talking about the noise the motor makes that moves the camera module.) I have also read that several owners are having screen problems, such as flickering back lights when the screen is turned down to a low setting. And now I just read where someone is having major problems with their camera module not opening or closing properly and the image not flipping over when in selfie mode! All of these issues are in various threads right here on XDA. So then, from my perspective, I am willing to wait until all the beta testers have theirs in hand and can give thorough reviews on just how good, or bad, this phone really is. YMMV
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] hoxley:
black 6/128 is already in stock in shops that have release priority dealt with Asus, mine will be delivered tomorrow or wednesday...

...seems Alza does not have that priority even it's huge eu shop, surprising... shop I bought it from is located in Prague, so no luck for you ;P Unless u go for a trip ;)

And they have stock date for all other models "expecting 28th June" and because they have 6/128 already in stock, I believe them that date for other models is moved again more further... in my opinion it will be in July
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] regenwurm16:
I have contacted the official German Asus eShop because even the black 6/128 GB model isn't available anymore.

They told me that all the black variants should be in stock by end of June but without an exact date.

The release of all the silver variants will be announced by Asus on social media is all they know

I'm surprised that a Czech shop manages to get stock when even Amazon didn't get any.?

I've been reading all the comments on here since my pre-order from Asus UK. I've rang laptopoutlet Ltd daily and have received the same replies as most of you. I guess I'll have to try to be more patient. It's difficult when it's been a while since they took payment.

I cancelled my preorder today, not given up on getting the zenfone yet but I figured I've waited this long I may as well wait a few more weeks and get the 8gb version. By the time that comes out I might know if its worth waiting for the oneplus 7t too :)

[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] Liscon19:
I see Asus has had a large marketing push for the phone within the last couple of days meaning it should now be released fully, hopefully this will also mean that pre-orders should also start to arrive.

Personally I feel like this phone is nowhere near close to being released in the UK and the device itself won't land on these shores till 17th July (I keep seeing this number pop-up). By then it will only be 3 months till Pixel 4 and OP7TPro, and the 1 month till Note 9.

I've got my cash at the ready....I can wait Asus....the ball is in your court

A lot of stores in Portugal already have the 6/128Gb in stock (at least is the indication on the Website). One of them has on pre-order for 447€ which is an amazing price. However still no sign of it on any Amazon or the 6/64Gb model that was what i want.

[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] jeremyet:
Just cancelled my preorder. The people at Asus UK don't really have any idea when the phones will arrive and have no control over delivery.

But more than that, it made me very wary of what might happen should something go wrong with the phone.

Supply chains and retail isn't easy, but these guys made it look much harder than it needs to be.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] DoubleM101:
I don't know what Asus is doing but they are losing a big potential advantage.

Many people are sicking of waiting and are buying other devices like the K20, Mi 9T, OnePlus, etc. I will keep waiting for a while because i really don't like Xiaomi and i prefer LCD over Amoled but soon i will give up and choose any other device. If Xiaomi had stock Android and wasn't full of bugs, i didn't look back twice.

I finally gave up waiting. Family member has been waiting to take my phone to replace their near-broken one and I didn't want them to wait any longer. I also got an iPad Pro 10.5 during the wait so my needs have changed, I ended up going with a less powerful Pixel 3a XL.

If it was available I'd probably still have gone with the Zenfone 6, but oh well.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] smohanv:
Thanks for the link. I checked and also called them to check if I will get the device in few days time. But, unfortunately they have not received the stock either. They expect to get the stock by the end of this month and shipping to UK takes 3 to 5 working days as it is coming from Chez.

The Redmi K20 Pro will be released here as the Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro very soon, and I'm going there now. Shame.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] shadow78:
I'm still not decided. None of the 2 (zenfone 6 or k20 pro aka mi 9t pro) is a perfect phone. Both has drawbacks, and none of them are available immediately from a reliable source with reliable support and warranty.

I probably lean a bit towards the zenfone to buy however if the mi 9t pro become available I will not hesitate. My current device is the poco f1 so miui doesn't bother me much I actually quite like the full screen gestures, I personally think its better then google's one. I deferentially wont buy the k20 pro with global rom. I had a similar device mi max 3 Chinese version which I bought before the global release and I had nothing but issues with it. I seen the k20 pro on ebay sold with a beta miui which I think been modified to the device (I guess will be full of bugs), I also looked around but no rom availability on xiaomi eu either yet. I think its just to early for the k20 pro. This is my personal opinion only but may help for someone to decide.

Thx

What are the drawbacks of the Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro? It seems close to perfect.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] shadow78:
Compare them the Zenfone take better photos, and selfies. Also better on video recording, even the mi 9t pro has 3 cams. Zenfone has a larger battery not a big difference for some but I'm not a power user so it may last 2 even 3 days for me. The fingerprint reader sensor is better then the in screen reader.

If you are interested more in comparing the 2 there are videos on YouTube about it.

I do like both device and as I said if the mi9t pro comes first to be available, it would be my choice too ;).

Latest update
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] hoxley:
Okay guys, I'm having it (Czech online store), it's perfect phone and camera amazed me... It has serious issue with running apps, not even restart helped. U open running apps and when u tap on any running app to pop it into fullscreen, u get everytime error "ASUS launcher keeps stopping" or nothing happens at all and u get back at previous app u had on fullscreen...

So, you basically cannot switch between running apps :/ Didnt try any other launcher yet. EFFING ANNOYING

EDIT: problem solved with Nova launcher I bought year ago, it's fast as stock and gave me more dense icon grid, so in fact it's way better now than ASUS launcher
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] DoubleM101:
For me, the Amoled screen (however is a big advantage for most) and bloated and buggy software (and hardware?).

If Xiaomi's came with clean/better developed Roms i will not look back twice. But i can't see myself using a Xiaomi, no matter what the specs are on the paper.

I always used stock Android and i can't support bloatware. Moreover, i keep reading every single day someone complaining with software bugs or hardware faults on Xiaomi's. If that wasn't the case i already have bought a Pocophone. It seems an amazing device for what it costs but...
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] twistedvegan:
It looks like they won't be releasing tho pro version of the mi 9t in the uk as it'll hurt sales of the mi 9 so along with buggy firmware you'd have to put up with low specs too.

I'm seriously considering the oppo reno now tho the 10 x version is too big for me and the standard one is the perfect size for me but I don't want a phone with lower specs than my oneplus 6 :/

My theory on the asus delay..

A...

They've delayed launch till they fix bugs in the launcher.

B...

They lied about the launch date to try and get people to choose the zenfone over the oneplus 7

[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Ruggerxpunk:
I've been using a Lineage PIE ROM on my OPO for months and the heads up notification toggle was a tile.

Can't find anywhere to disable it on this OP7 Pro.

Is it possible?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] DonKilluminati23:
+1, can't wait to get rid of it
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] dr_rick13:
I actually have been disabling them with adb on my past 3-4 devices. But with the 7 pro, if you disable heads up, you won't receive notifications at all when screen is off (unless there is sound)

Also just discovered this, I had my animations turned off and my horizon light didn't work. Randomly turned them on today and what do you know... Animations off = no horizon light.

Not sure what OP is doing to notifications...
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Tottie:
Okay so I found no tile but if you switch to Do not Disturb Mode you can deactivate them.

Go into settings->do not disturb->notifications->custom

It's not as efficient as the tile but it works. And I guess with the alert slider it's at least manageable since you can switch pretty easily

---------- Post added at 11:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:05 PM ----------

It seems if you do it with the method mentioned above you can have the screen turn on and no pop up for notifications

[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] texasaggie1:
Connect the device via ADB and run the following command from a command prompt on your computer:

adb shell settings put global heads_up_notifications_enabled 0

That disables heads up notifications only
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] rickysidhu_:
I'm not too sure about that actually, haven't really paid attention to ambient display with this setting enabled.

My use case is to disable these notifications only when in certain apps (YouTube, Netflix). As soon as Ieave these kinds of apps, heads up notifications will enable again.

You can try adding a screen state context, so ensure that %SCREEN = on, else enable heads up notifications to ensure ambient display notifications work.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] sponzie:
Just do it in adb. One command and it's off. Still get notifications and dots. And sounds. Just no heads up. Works perfectly...

[LG V40 Questions & Answers] louisd:
So I have a T-Mobile V40 currently active on T-Mobile but is unlocked. I've tried it on AT&T without issue. I was hoping to use it as an LTE only device with Verizon, but can't get it to work at all. As background, I have a Verizon Prepaid SIM that works in my LG G7 ULM, Essential PH-1, and unlocked Note 9. When I put it in the V40 and go to the network selector it can see the Verizon tower, but simply won't connect to it. According to the specs the phone has all the Verizon LTE bands, anyone have any idea why it refuses to connect? I'm about to give up and put it on eBay.

Alternatively, is there a method yet to replace the T-Mobile ROM with the Unlocked one? Would that fix it?
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] raver445:
It's the TMobile ROM that refuses to let the phone connect to the tower because the TMobile ROM also has firmware that has preprogrammed LTE bands for only T-Mobile and for roaming only. You would have to reflash a ROM that's not T-Mobile in order to get to work right. It's the firmware that controls the soc modem And dictates what the phone can and cannot connect to even if the phone is Sim unlocked.
