[ASUS ZenFone 8] andelf_x:
I have it and the only down side is standby drain. Even after a few system updates my drain is about 50-100% higher than my op6. It's gotten better since the first version, but still not great.

I love it's form factor, GUI fluidity, Asus apps are great.

I haven't played any games so I can't really say anything about thermals.. never felt any temperature build-up.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] TheyCallMeWill:
Does it last at least around 6-8 hours?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Undead_Son:
The screen isn't the best and the battery drains a bit too quick, but I'd say it's worth it. I like the stock ROM. The power button can be customised to perform two different actions, Game Genie shows CPU, GPU, battery, temperature and FPS, Optiflex speeds up apps and reduces battery usage. Also, didn't expect to find system performance modes, dt2w, dt2s or gestures, which, if drawn while the screen is off, launch apps.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] TheyCallMeWill:
How long does the battery last for you?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Kemez:
This opinion is very subjective and quite off.

The screen isn't the best? Maybe there are literally few phones with better screens but it's definitely among the very top. No idea what is wrong with it.

Battery drain? I get easily 6h SOT and whole day use. No issues at all. 8h during night eats me like 5-8 percent. The good is that all my smartwatches and earbuds are very stable and I get no disconnections like on Huawei flagship phones.

I can confirm that coming video in bright sun in 30 Celsius gets the phone hot, very hot. I think that's normal. And it's waterproof so I've just taken it underwater for 5s and it was back to normal.

If you can live with the cut out camera - this phone is brilliant.

I was using LG V30 and Huawei Mate 20 before this and I see no downsides. Everything is better than on those two. I like them all.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] TheyCallMeWill:
Awesome reply! I believe I will be purchasing it to replace my OP9. :)
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Undead_Son:
When I said "not the best" I had two things in mind. First the backlight issue at 60 and 120 Hz. As for the second one, few days ago my Zf8 was on a desk together with my previous phone (Xperia 5 II). I think I had some web pages open on both at the time because the screens were mostly white. When I looked at them while standing and almost at a flat angle, I immediately noticed that the Xperia's screen was white as a sheet of paper, Zenfone's wasn't. I assumed the Xperia's screen can be viewed without distortion at wider angles.

I played one game which is locked at 30 FPS, CPU and GPU usage was 10-30%, temp stayed at 36-37C. Will try something more demanding and see if it can go over 40C during the weekend.

Edit: idle drain 0.5%/h, but Franco Kernel Manager shows 0.28% for some reason
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Pollie81:
Good topic to keep track of.

Right now i have a OnePlus 9 Pro and as i really like it I'm kind of done with big smartphones.

As i had the Pixel 5 before i was thinking about going back and then the ZenFone 8 came to my attention.

It's damn ugly but that's something that can be changed with a case or skin.

I'm in doubt about the camera's compared to the Pixel 5 but the reviews I've seen so far seems quite good, not the best but good and comparable to the OnePlus 9.

I also read that Asus's update policy is not very reliable.

Anyone can give their opinion about this parts?

Everything else about this phone seems really good!
[ASUS ZenFone 8] ExtentedByte:
After using the zenfone 8 and Pixel 5 I went for the Pixel 5 because of the insanely better battery life than on the zenfone 8

Zenfone 8 had a slightly better camera with gcam but overall I was more impressed with the Pixel 5
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Kemez:
It is true that other phones may have better battery, the Mate 20 I have is much better but at the cost of unreliable smart devices connection.

I can't get 2 days of my normal usage out of any phone. If I go hiking and just have the phone with me the Zenfone will also last 2-3 days easily. For me 1 day is the requirement and Zenfone does it easily.

The cameras are really good and with gcam and the right settings in there it gives great, real to life pictures. The super wide camera has the same sensor as Pixel 5. The main and selfie are even better and newer.

And the main thing - here in Poland the Pixel is 290USD more expensive than Asus. At the same price I'd probably buy the Pixel as it is a more established brand and has better support.

People write here that ZF8 can be bad at getting updates but the initial month had 4 updates. Can't see anything wrong here.

If the ZF9 will be the same size and gets the flip camera I will 100% buy it.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Pollie81:
Pixel has a different sensor for the ultra wide. For the others i can't comment on that but it seems they are at least very close to each when it comes to picture quality.

It's so strange that the price difference in the world is so big. Here in the Netherlands the zenfone 8 is more expensive compared to the Pixel 5.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] KaydenMcCurdyTech:
I can't say much on the phone as I've not used one yet, but from my own research and a friend whose ordered one, I can give me opinion. The specs are great, I think it exceeds in every category, but the camera. I don't the camera is as good as it could be, and maybe even the screen. The 120hz is real nice though. It's all personal preference really. I'm a Samsung guy but have been trying other phones because, well, why not. I'm by far not an expert, but I most certainly will share my opinion with you. My friend did mention that his tends to get hot, really hot. Keep that in mind.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Kemez:
The wide camera sensor in ZF8 is the same as main in Pixel. At least I read that.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Undead_Son:
Barely felt any heat so far. When exactly does it get hot for your friend?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] mestermagyar:
We

Anything that runs the CPU/GPU high. You have to enable performance mode (or custom mode for max performance/temp limit) to let it get hot though. Case mitigates its feel to an extent.

And it can get burning hot, try it on any 3d game.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Undead_Son:
Ah that explains it, thanks
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Kemez:
That really riddles me. So there are non gaming phones that do not get hot in similar settings? Especially during summer?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] chivas228:
i noticed today that when i go into Camera Album, my whole system pukes. for the first 2 pictures, it acts normal. i can flick my finger and it'll show the next picture but after that, it hangs to almost freezing point. if i wait it out, it'll eventually move to the next picture but i thought Jesus was going to come back before it did that.

so is there a fix, patch, upgrade to the camera album? i'm still using the OEM one which does the whole 12 picture layout and junk. is there a better upgraded version i can use that won't freeze my system? or is this a video driver issue?

thanks!!
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] VoyagerBG:
Hi. First of all, sorry for my english.

I`v had the same problem before. Try to change the memory card.

Mine was corrupted. After change with a new one everything work flawless.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] chivas228:
negatron. can't afford another 8 gig of microSD just to test this. it's a SanDisk which i've never had a problem with their products before.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] VoyagerBG:
Hi, the mine card was exactly SanDisk - 4 GB HD. Now i have 2 GB Kingston and I haven`t any problems. Just take some memory card - there`s no matters of capacity - just to test the speed in Camera album. You`ll see the diference ;)
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] chivas228:
i *think* i figured out the problem. i made my own directory (DCIM) on the storage card and when i asked the camera to store the pictures on the Micro, i think it was like: OK... wtf, i was to create the DCIM but there's one there so... um... should i use it or not?

conflict which it resolves after doing something but also threw the whole system out of wack. deleted the file and now it runs pretty smooth again.

[POCO M3 Questions & Answers] Jona'san - sama:
But this person tried it out, and he didn't encountered any problems at all.. i dont know if i could trust him or he just trolling.. cause someone said it too, not to flash any custom rom even if they are almost the same..
[POCO M3 Questions & Answers] rotoko:
The man was me, they are xiaomi eu versions ported from Redmi 9T, which is identical to POCO M3, with a few exceptions for which it is not possible to port Redmi 9T firmware directly to POCO M3. Now I use xiaomi eu 12.6.30, and for me it's the best rom for our POCO, of course I have an unlocked botloader etc.
[POCO M3 Questions & Answers] Jona'san - sama:
Thanks bro, for testing and porting it in our devices, I just don't want my phone to be brick if I do it in my self hahaha.. Hope you understand me, love you bro 😘

Its been around 15 days since MIUI 12.0.1.0 is released but I have not received update on my Poco X3 (Indian).

Is it a stable or stable beta update?

Is anyone else facing the issue?

I have unlocked bootloader. and have given my POCO X3 for repair once as it was bricked because of MIUI 12.0.10.0 update.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nicodega:
Hi, I'm new to the forum, and have tried to find a solution searching on it (here and on the web) to my problem, but couldn't find a thing.

Mi problem:

I've got a .NET Form with an embeded Flash 7 player (the activex using a custom AxHost class, etc. not using a browser).

Everything works like a charm.. except for the fact that I don't want the Tap-n-hold menu to pupup, because my application is based on drag and drop, and it's awful when the menu pops'up sometimes.

Has anyone tried to do this before.. and succeded?

Things I've done:

- FlashControl.Menu = false

- Hooking to the Hwnd of the control and handling WM_CONTEXTMENU

- Lots of things like hooking on my form and checking for a WM_NOTIFY

from SHRecognizeGesture or calling SHRecognizeGesture before WM_LBUTTONDOWN is invoked (silly but had to try.. dont blame me :(

I believe the problem is the control uses SHRecognizeGesture on WM_LBUTTONDOWN... is there a way to prevent this?

Perhaps if I could disable completely the feature in my aplication would also be nice :) (I don't use it at all)

Thanks in advance just for reading :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dteunkens:
Tried, but failed

Tried, failed but found a way out! Install "FlashPlayer 6" on the PDA and put a big, transparent button in the Flash application you created. Don't forget to put it in the bottom layer of course...

In FlashPlayer 6, the menu does not appear when you are clicking a flash-button.

Sadly, the FlashPlayer 6 does not support FLV-videos, so I hope you don't need to use those.

You can find FlashPlayer 6 on http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/pocketpc/2002.html . Remove FlashPlayer 7 from your PDA and just run the executable on your PC, with your PDA attached to it.

[Samsung Galaxy Watch] mti_MUI:
Is there any custom ROM for the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 which disables the WiFi component of the Watch, so that you only get access to the internet via the watch if you are connected to a phone? I need this option so that I can sleep in with the Watch without having any distractions while going to sleep and track my sleep as well. I keep my phone locked out in another room during my sleep to prevent getting distracted while sleeping.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Galaxea:
Can't you put your watch and phone into silent mode (or even airplane mode) instead?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] mti_MUI:
Yes, I can but I need to remove the Galaxy store from the watch system so that when I can get the urge to browse the internet on my watch while I am trying to sleep I won't be able to.

[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Crasshbat:
Well, that's why I was looking for adriansiv to share his experience!

I've done this previously with another phone (Samsung galaxy s3 mini) and it worked great, but in 2021 there doesn't seem to be the same need for rooting. I'm running DotOS on my G7 and use Neutron Player and USB Audio Player Pro, and it does the job, however there are still features of the phone that I don't need (Messaging app, Phone app) and I can't disable them. With root I could pare back the phone to its bare bones, but it's not essential.

(By the way, this is nothing to do with the G7's suitability as a phone - I managed to pick up a pre-owned device for £50 so I couldn't refuse!!)
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
You can package disable either will an app that allows real time control or by ADB edited

I like using the package disabler because some apks you might occasionally need so you can easily switch them on/off.

Package Disabler

The only NON-root solution that let’s you disable any unwanted packages that come pre-installed / installed with your phone / tablet.

www.packagedisabler.com

Samsung is also using their SSC bt codec which be useful if you use the Buds+, Live or Pro. SBC be a downgrade from SSC. With Samsung the only other viable HD bt codec option is LDAC.

A rooted phone may be better especially for a music server. If offline the only security risk is bt.

Try stock and see how that works, then modify if/as needed.

Make sure the device has the hardware audio specs you need!!!
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Crasshbat:
I'll check the package disabler out, cheers. I wasn't aware that was possible so it's perfect.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
It not longer disables Google play Services so you'll need to do so in app settings.

It does disable all bloatware and most services unless they are hidden system Administrators like Samsung Pay.

It will run in safe mode too so be caution what you disable. I never boot looped a device with it but don't disable critical apks like the launcher.

If you boot loop the device with it a factory reset will be needed to purge it. Or some fancy ADB commands🤣

to increase speed Manilla2D on BlueAngel

(if you want really need manilla2D work on your BA) :

1. hard reset.

2. install step 1 & 2, don't soft reset.

3. install step 17. M2D-Beta-0.07.cab/0.08/0.09

4. install Manilla2D_NonHTC_Patch.cab, don't soft reset.

5. install manilla2d customizer (M2DC_v0.3.17.cab>include in the package). now soft reset.

i skip step 3 to 16, because i don't need htc audio manager, youTube, htcAlbum, etc.

After restart, run M2DC. uncheck photo widget, music, location, operator & my fav.

i also install wisbarAdvance3.2, to improve speed when access programs & settings. 'cause wa3 can expand (like desktop start menu) program & settings menus, so don't have to open windows standard program & menus, that can slow a respond when manilla2D installed.
