[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Doom Slayer:
I got wierd flickering issue only on custom kernel though.

One moment, is when after a while in album app lower half of screen goes like broken matrix, pink lines and etc.

It can be fixed with a developer option "disable HW overlays".

Another moment is right side of nav bar is flashing on the top of the screen. Developer option doesn't make any difference anymore, only reboot helps.

Anyone has the same issue?

Guess that I will have to live without DT2W :(

Please help
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] raul6:
Yes that's about right. There was a discussion in early days talking about it. Essentially what is considered system files that can't be removed unless rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] allenaero:
Thanks for replying .So 45 GB is fine then. Worried if it contained some of the encrypted files of the previous owner . Please help
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] allenaero:
Thanks just did that and the other storage remains at 45 GB.

Thanks for your replies and time.

I received this phone on 1st July and today, 27th July, it just died on its own. Recently the camera module became wobbly and whenever the phone vibrates it rattles a lot.

Well, an hour ago i sent a whatsapp message to my friend, put the phone down, after a minute i picked it up to check, and lo and behold, it cant turn on anymore. It cant be battery issue because i know it had a more than 50% charge. I tried plugging in the charger and switching it on but it still doesn't work.

Called up Flipkart.com to claim my Mobile phone protection insurance . They will pick it up for repair. Hope all things goes well.

However, i am still unsure about the Swivel camera module. Dont know if it will hold up anymore seeing how it became loose so quickly. I trusted Asus, not anymore....

I made a youtube video showing its wobbly camera.:o

Asus 6z dead

Mine is also dead, it went into a boot-loop. The wobbly camera is not an issue though its common to all devices, even reviewers have addressed this.

Flipkart just declined my request for a replacement, I went to the service center and they have told me that if it is a software issue then they will flash the new software or else they will give me a replacement.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Guides, News, & Discussion] mikael_schiffer:

[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Guides, News, & Discussion] aleksander002:
Your video is unavailable so I can't tell if your camera is rattling more than mine. They should've implemented some kind of a lock when camera is not used and used a rubber coating or something in that camera hole so it would be at least quiet.

[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Guides, News, & Discussion] isthisadagger:
This happened to me too a few times. Fine one minute and the next screen will stay black. Pressing power does not do anything. You can not bott, restart you phone because nothing happens.

I am rooted and use xposed, custom kernel so I will not bother with Asus' service :)

What has worked for me every time is taking out the sim/SD card tray. Then powering on works.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Guides, News, & Discussion] johnmolyneux:
my phone also died

This also happened to my zenfone 6 on the 28th June. Completely unresponsive (and removing the SIM tray didn't change anything). I bought it from Gearbest, who have agreed to replace it, but I'm still waiting, with no ETA so far. I loved the phone while it worked, so I'm a bit disappointed. BTW, if you don't need a selfie cam, a bit of silicone glue solves all the camera issues :)
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Guides, News, & Discussion] _jis_:
It was just an user error (as with many other reported bugs), no device died:

Aren't you just using the Nova Prime Launcher and ASUS gestures instead of classic Navigation Bar? That could be a culprit of strange behaviour.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Guides, News, & Discussion] johnmolyneux:
I was using stock standard software. The phone had been on the charger overnight, and in the morning was dead - no response to pressing any combination of power and volume buttons. I followed a set of recovery instructions from gearbest, nonw of which worked, and then they asked me to return the phone.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Guides, News, & Discussion] jaseman:
I know there are many people waiting for this phone to be released, or shipped, and they're wondering what the holdup is?

I think Asus built themselves a lemon. While it looks cool, and has some decent specs, and many people want one, the fact is that many of those who already received theirs are sending them back because of semi-major issues and even complete failures of the device! So I think the delay in availability is Asus scrambling to get this thing fixed before it becomes a complete flop, assuming it hasn't already! I know that my interest has basically died and I will not even consider this phone until I read that many have the phone in hand and ALL the major bugs have been squashed!

Using a different launcher should not brake the phone.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Guides, News, & Discussion] _jis_:
Sure.

I didn't say it would damage or break the phone, or that the phone would die. It's not even a third-party launcher error, but an ASUS gesture error that, in combination with some changes in developer settings (scaling), can cause the non-standard behavior of the launcher. This can surprise the inexperienced user and he or she may consider the phone broken. Like it was with Animation scale bug a few updates before.

---------- Post added at 11:01 ---------- Previous post was at 10:26 ----------

I regularly attend discussion forums in several European countries about ZF6. I have encountered one case where a child threw a ZF6 into a mother's pool and one user who had one SW problem after another and constantly spammed the forum. But these problems were not device errors, but his ignorance of ZenUI and pure Android. Eventually, he bought a phone from a manufacturer he had been used to for years, and finally there is peace in the forum now.

Here at XDA it is different, most of the pseudo problems are endlessly discussed by those who have never held the ZF6 and fatal problems affect users mostly from an unnamed Asian country. Poor users from the same country most often complained about my previous Xiaomi Mi A1 with Android One about missing MIUI (!) and about slow updates (despite the fact that we have had regular monthly updates). Anyone can make his own conclusion. Most users do not deserve to use a smartphone at all because its complexity often exceeds their capabilities.

Then there are UK users complaining about slow filling of warehouse in stores and USA users who complain that the ZF6 is not on sale in their country yet.

I'm involved in the ZF6 user community in my country, and as far as I know none of them have had any fatal problem yet.

ASUS has only one problem, it did not expect such an interest and does not manage to produce in such quantity.

This is your personal pure and false speculation.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Guides, News, & Discussion] johnmolyneux:
just too popular

I also think the number of actual incidences of broken zenfone 6 reports are very few, say less than 10, which is about par for the course in a new phone, and I think I've just been unlucky. The real problem here is that the phone is almost exactly what everyone has been wanting, and so every batch delivered to the retailers almost immediately sells out. Anyway, I'm really looking forward to getting my replacement, which can't come soon enough.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Guides, News, & Discussion] amol khedkar:
Actually, a friend of mine had changed a few settings from the developer options to make the phone faster. I don't remember the exact setting but after that the phone was dead.

But, the service center has fixed that issue and replace the camera also. The service center returned me the phone within 3 days (here at Pune, Maharashtra, India).

I don't think that changing animation scale or forcing GPU rendering could do anything bad. Developer options are there to be used. ADB may be harmful but I doubt this is the case.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Guides, News, & Discussion] _jis_:
It was the case, because a few firmwares ago there was a bug in Animation Scale settings.

But it could be resuscitated without sending device to the service when you know what you are doing. That was my point.

And in the UK, i dont know how reliable and quick the warranty cover is, god forbid i get one 2nd hand and i can no provide proof of purchase and then i am screwed.

I dunno what other phone to get to be honest. I am really contemplating the oppo reno 10x 5g model. Happy to pay extra for a more reliable device.

Hi my Zenfone 6 (8GB RAM version) died few days ago.

I was running stock ROM, and did not tinker with it in any way. No developer options, no root. Always updated and with Bitdefender (no known viruses). It suddenly went in a bootloop (restarting again and again) and then just died. No correlation with anything. It was about 66% battery. It was working flawlessly until it suddenly died.

I will send it to a warranty service but all my data that I didn't backup is gone.

Died I mean there is absolutely no reaction to power button even if it is plugged in to original charger. Even the small LED is not lighting up when charging (but once it actually did light up red after plugging the cable, but when I unplugged it - it stayed red - super wierd). It looks bricked. An expensive paperweight.

i agree the oneplus is a nice phone but i am very adamant into wanting micro sd expansion. I know its a minor thing but i really want it. THe pixel memory is too low for me without no expansion.

Even if it was really a HW problem of those few ZF6 and it wasn't a user error, it could happen to any brand of phone. I remember serious problems that were discussed on the XDA for Samsung, Google Nexus and Pixel, LG, Moto, Xiaomi, ... I had all of them, and it did not spoil my own phone experience in any way.

- with sim card, (both plugged to charger and unplugged)

- with two sim cards (plugged and unplugged)

- with no sim cards or sd inside (plugged and unplugged)

- with sim tray totally taken out (plugged and unplugged)

- with just an sd inside (plugged and unplugged)

I also tried these with holding power button for 20 seconds.

I'm still waiting for mine which is expected to deliver after 23th and i don't want to believe i will get one of those with the issue.

Thats a shame.. Sorry to hear this..

I think i am going to forget this phone and just get the oppo reno x10 zoom 5g phone. I realised that if i am going to pay around 500 pounds for a phone then i might aswell get a 5g one and future proof it. Who knows, my next contract might be 5g.

I wish you the best luck with Gearbest. I don't know how their warranty works but i hope everything will be fine.

However, i don't recommend anyone to buy a device of this value on a chinese website. I had a situation in the past that was the first and last. I bought a THL W100S on Antelife. Everyone talked wonders about the phone. After a couple of days i got the phone, it turned off and never turned on again. All of of a sudden everyone starts complaining about the issue... What is seems to be a very good phone had a critical issue. This reminds me "something", no?

In the end, it was a pain to solve that with Antelife. They tried to avoid the warranty at all costs. The best i was able to get was a partial refund, where i had to pay for the labor work and they sent a new board.

I'm waiting for this Zenfone 6 which i bought on official eShop but i'm already regretting. I wish Amazon had stock...
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Guides, News, & Discussion] snakeman65:

I have to say... again... that I have read about more phone releases than I can ever remember. They ALL have bugs and issues in the first batch that is released to the public. But I have NEVER read about so many major problems on a single phone as I have about this one... bar none! This phone is a disaster! If anyone wants to argue this truth then just do your research. Yes, yes, there are those who say it's wonderful! Maybe some of them are! But there are far too many D.O.A. units before the thing has even been received by the masses. I think everyone has been hoodwinked by the flip up camera! I was enamored with it also. But man, this thing is a turd. You can polish a turd all you want but it still smells like ****.
