I've been lurking around the forum for a while but registered to reply to this comment. Let's get a grip on this!

So, Samsung catching fire was not too bad? How many products have been recalled or have wide spread issues?

ASUS has been aggressive with their firmware updates. Issues? Of course! Check Google and their Nexus/Pixel history. That isn't a joke? Software glitches galore on their updates and wasn't there a lawsuit about their hardware? Hmm.

Oh, so ZenFone 6 is terrible? Get a grip. Crawl out from under that rock. They have a MAJOR issue with a firmware update that just rolled out that is rendering units basically DEAD. They have stated those units can be sent back for a motherboard replacement. I bet ASUS will even pay to have it shipped to them. It sucks to wait for your phone yes. However, the phone isn't causing your car or house to catch on fire. You didn't pay $1,000+ for it.

In closing, give me a break.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Guides, News, & Discussion] snakeman65:
You're not wrong, there clearly are some serious issues. What I will say in it's defense though is that when it was working it was by far the best phone i've ever owned and my loaner phone (oneplus 6) isn't half the phone the zenfone was. Luckily, issues like this are generally covered by some form of warranty either from the manufacturer or the retailer (as in my case). I'll be getting another one because I simply love this phone too much to have anything else now.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Guides, News, & Discussion] mkermali99:
But ASUS refusing to repair the product is terrible customer service. Proof or purchase has been provided and ASUS are expecting to charge customers for their own mistakes.

So have Gearbest decided to provide you a replacement then?
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Guides, News, & Discussion] snakeman65:
Yes, Gearbest came back to me (after a few back and forth troubleshooting steps) with an address in Europe to send the phone to and a choice of a replacement or full refund so I really can't fault them at all.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Guides, News, & Discussion] mkermali99:
Oh ok

That is good of them. Let me know the turnaround process. How much did it cost you to send the phone there?
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Guides, News, & Discussion] MisterSavage:
ASUS refusing to fix their own mistakes? The solution is to change the approach with ASUS support staff. Are the majority of them annoying and obtuse? Yes. Given the magnitude of the current issue, I would put pressure on them big time to take the phone back and get it resolved. I've dealt with ASUS warranty many, many, many, many times. I'm sure more of their support staff are aware of the issue and motherboard replacement and will be a more forgiving and willing to be fair. With ASUS support/warranty I never take no for an answer but I'm nice about it. I know that I wouldn't be paying for shipping on this, that's for sure.

In the bigger picture of this, ASUS has a substantial nightmare on their hands. Nobody knows how many units died from that firmware update. It's bad enough units are slow to get to market. That said, parts? I'm sure they have loose parts galore. Motherboards? They got their motherboards there. The question for them to worry about is can they resolve the issue with a hardware fix for the future batches of phones.

Whatever the case, I have my popcorn. Sweat dripping down their brow. That's what I see and it's a bit funny to me.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Guides, News, & Discussion] johnmolyneux:
My replacement phone from Gearbest arrived today. The replacement process took quite a long time (7 weeks all up) but most of that was Gearbest waiting for stock. Wouldn't it be good if vendors published their returns rate for each item.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Guides, News, & Discussion] snakeman65:
Asus support came back to me to say that my warranty is only valid in Hong Kong, guess I know where Gearbest got my phone then!! I hope I don't have a whole 7 week wait though as mentioned above.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Guides, News, & Discussion] mkermali99:
So how do we know when it is safe to buy?

I see they are selling the 256gb model on EGLOBALCENTRAL and TOBYDEALS but i was looking at the reviews for these websites and they are shockingly bad.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Guides, News, & Discussion] Mmalex11:
Mine also died on the 22th of July , filled a RMA and have send it in . Got it back on the 13th of August. It was in Poland for repairs ( i live in Germany ). Took a pretty long time and you don t get any updates whatsoever only that it arrived and then in my case after 10 days that it was repaired and send back.

Everything seems alright sofar, but still pretty disappointed from Asus. I only had the phone a bit over 1 month when it died so actually they could of send me a new one and sell this one as refurbished.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Guides, News, & Discussion] mkermali99:
Sorry to hear this
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Guides, News, & Discussion] smohanv:
Hi, If you still have issue of unable to boot your phone, my experience here may help you.

I received the device on 11th August. I started customising my device with all the apps that I was using in my old phone and also customised phone settings i.e ring tone, vibration etc. On the second day night I switched off the phone when going to sleep. Next day morning when i pressed power button nothing happened. I kept long pressing power button and it didn't come to life. I wanted to give one last try with combo button. I hold volume up button while pressing power button. It took the device to stock recovery. The first menu in the list was "Reboot system" and I selected this menu and pressed power button. My device booted normally. It happened only one. Now I have rooted my device and also using many rooted tweakings. It works fine.

I started loving this beast for obvious reasons explained in many reviews.

Hope my experience may help many.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Guides, News, & Discussion] Guigui1982:
Don't you void the warranty when rooting the device?
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Guides, News, & Discussion] fracama87:
I've just bought this... from Amazon.

About Asus and warranty:

Legal warranty is from the seller not manufacturer and if you buy from China like Gearbest the Asus warranty may be no valid. This it's actually a rule common for most of brands.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Guides, News, & Discussion] zuuus:
Mine just died, second day of using it. Have the 8/256 model.

It was working perfectly for the last one and a half days, turned off due to low power at 1% battery. Plugged it in to charge and it just bootloops at the "powered by android" screen. Flashes this screen for half a second and reboots. If I try turning it on without the cable in it just shows the low power icon and turns back off. Can get into recovery but starting the boot from there makes no difference. Not even sure if it's charging.

Wasn't rooted or modified in any way.

Edit: Phone is fine. Included cable was faulty, tried a different cable and it started charging fine. Phew!
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Guides, News, & Discussion] SlinkyMalinky:
So how did it end with Gearbest? Did you get a new phone eventually and did it cost you extra to send back to their EU warehouse?

Also can you confirm the network bands on your version? I know Gearbest say it's the global version but just unsure if that means A, B or C.

Did you get just a US charger or an extra adapter?

Thanks!
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Guides, News, & Discussion] snakeman65:
So it took a while but Gearbest came back to me once they had recieved my phone and offered refund or replacement. There was some delay on the replacement and Asus UK had the silver model in stock so I took the refund and ordered it from Asus UK. Arrived next day.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Guides, News, & Discussion] SlinkyMalinky:
That's great you got a refund back and Extremely lucky ASUS UK aka Laptop Outlet had the phone actually in stock at that moment!

Was the Gearbest global version not compatible with UK networks then as the bands listed look fine? I've read your posts about EE and Three.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Guides, News, & Discussion] snakeman65:
I must have just been lucky with the stock that day! It does say that the two black models are in stock though right now. The one I got from Asus UK is the WW model as well. Unfortunately Asus have decided not to invest in getting VoWiFi or VoLTE enabled in the UK at all (and judging by the zentalk forums, india is the only country they have bothered enabling it for) and are refusing to unofficially enable it too. You might have some luck if you rooted the phone and edited the build.prop but I am unable to do that since I got on the 10 beta and there isn't a working unlock tool so if either of those techs are important to you, give the phone a miss, at least for now. I currently have to use Whatsapp if I want to make calls at home. It's such a shame as everything else about the phone is fantastic.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Guides, News, & Discussion] SlinkyMalinky:
It's only the silver one I was after sadly as wanted a change from the black. Gearbest have it in stock for £443 (Inc shipping cover) at the moment plus zero guarantee when it might appear again on ASUS UK website (support have no idea).

I'm fine using whichever app for calls, Telegram I find is better than WhatsApp for that. The main worry was just the 3G/4G bands really.

It's funny it's the same WW version being sold in the UK, though your ASUS UK box must have had the uk power adapter and the Gearbest one didn't.

How long did it take from HK and which carrier delivered it over here? Thanks for all the help as well.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Guides, News, & Discussion] Teeheetee:
Thats why it is made in Indonesia.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Guides, News, & Discussion] SlinkyMalinky:
I might create a separate post but I gave up waiting for asus uk to get the silver 128gb version in stock and ordered via gearbest 29th Oct. Arrived 13th Nov with no extra shipping costs and an extra UK adapter for the standard 2 pin Asus plug. Really happy with it so far. As mentioned by other users it's the international WW version which is what you'd get buying from asus uk anyway.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Guides, News, & Discussion] aleksander002:
It won't be a problem as long as you don't need warranty. Gearbest's phones are usually from Hong Kong. That's the only place where it's valid.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Guides, News, & Discussion] SlinkyMalinky:
If you go back a couple of pages read about snakeman65 and how they treated him. If I'd not read that then I might have not ordered via them. :good:

Plus phone warranties can be a joke. I had a Sony phone 4 years ago and they didn't care at all so ended up paying for repairs. Most companies never honour a warranty, certainly lots of posts about that on many forums here.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Guides, News, & Discussion] amgreenhawk:
Phones from authorized sellers usually do not simply die on it's own. Other than user's errors, it might have have been mishandled during transport. Or, it might be a defective unit out of factory. Usually the factory will test the preliminary functions before boxing them. If it's a defective unit, you shouldn't have any problem returning it and get a new one under warranty.

And don't try rooting without reading all the steps and all the issues others faced.

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] jendrassik:
All of a sudden the lower part of display (about 7 mm) has become unresponsive to touch which means no more gestures (swipe up to get to home screen is not working) e struggle to use the classic navigation buttons.

Sadly I had the same issue in my mi5 but in that case phone had the issue since the unboxing.

I'm starting thinking the xiaomi touchscreen tend to be more fragile than others.

Now I'm waiting for gearbest support.

Anyone has any advice or similar experience?

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] tsongming:
Regarding Xiaomi Quality

While climbing into my truck, I dropped my Mi8 from a height of about 4 ft on accident and it landed flat on its face , on the concrete. Freaked out, I left it laying their for about a minute fearing that the screen had been smashed into a million pieces. However, I picked it up to see that it was fine, and not a single scratch. So I immediately went out and bought the Love Mei 360 case.

Anyway, regarding your touch issue, you should really provide more some information about how this issue came about, what rom were you using, did the phone get wet, etc.

Also, I had an issue with my Mi8 soon after unlocking the bootloader where the top part of the screen would not register my touches, I first tried recalibrating the screen using Miui hidden settings app, the test is called QMMI ( I think) and if I remember correctly there are several menus of testing that also calibrate the screen for me this worked and for good measure I reinstalled a Miui rom and havent had the issue since.

Try it, hopefully that is the only issue. If you are using a AOSP. It's possible that you have a driver issue. So before sending the phone off for service its worth testing.. If you are on stock and still have a locked bootloader, I would try resetting the phone before trying anything else.

Good Luck.

I have the newest TWRP, I downloaded it a few hours ago and my Phone is Unlocked.

I can't even flash a stock ROM. I am sure I am using the right one for my phone and I downloaded it 1,000 times ( just to save time from potential replies) to make sure it's not "corrupted".

I gave up and decided to download a Lineage OS and it worked but I don't like it. I want to go back to where it was.

I get this message all of the times " Zip file Corrupt "

and now I get this all the time " Invalid Zip file format!
