"33. Battery-Add Battery charging ready reminder feature: User could set battery level under charging to receive the reminder."
seems they have given up on fixing the issue therefore just adding an alarm to recharge the battery... not good!
I saw the update but they deleted it on their download support page for now.

I am optimistic about the development department of Zenfone, atleast they are working deep enough about their flagship. The battery drainage is an issue for almost every Android L(5.0) user. I hope this issue will be fixed after we get update for 5.1.1 .
Asus is also expending their QA inspection team this will help for the end user to have stable releases afterwards.
Thumbs up Asus for the efforts.
I just received my phone this morning. it's a CN model. I charged it to 100%. Played a bit with it at work when I had the chance. I've spent the rest of the evening setting it up. The latest update is sitting waiting for download but I won't take it until tomorrow. I want to see how it goes overnight.
Even given the short time I've had it I'm pretty sure the battery stats are simply misreported and the poor battery life that some people are experiencing are down to individual setups or faulty devices. I've done nothing yet to conserve battery other than turning off the stupid ASUS battery saver, deleting some Chinese bloat and setting Wi-Fi to switch off when screen is off. From what I can see battery is comparable to my G2 which I was very happy with. As you can see from the screen shots it's pretty good.

so does this mean your device is running on CN firmware? so maybe the biggest culprit for battery drain in WW is google playstore and other gapps, because CN firmware didnt preinstalled with gapps..

Trust me. The battery life is aweful and is not just down to user error. I've used many, many android devices set up using similar parameters. Wether android 5.0 is to blame or something else, it is not my user error causing my excessive battery drain.

Um, what issue are you talking about and why are you jumping to conclusions? Don't jump to conclusions. You literally have no idea what ASUS' intent is and why would you complain when our phone has received an update every 2wks so far?

Um, even with Android OS battery usage at 21% and screen at 12%, according to batt stats screen, I still managed around 5.25hrs SoT.... With 32% battery left.
Granted this is just from last night to this morning and is mainly just Web browsing and playing some music (was up late couldn't sleep!). WiFi/Bluetooth/GPS/autosync on.I've frozen/disabled most pre-installed apps and services.
Glad to see updates with Google Voice, I've had some issues with outgoing calls not using voice.
I am not jumping to conclusions... Merely stating the obvious statement made by Asus... Secondly.. I believe in Asus and their commitment to this device .. But building up another wakelock is not the way to go IMO..

Yes, that's why I'm running with CN for a while. I don't have to have google apps as system apps. Once I have a setup I'm happy with I'll back up and test it for a while with them moved to system to see if there is any difference. I'll then switch to WW and compare that. (I'll also pick up my google drive offer at that stage.)
It has lost about 3% overnight so it's heading for about 6 - 7 hours SOT. I'm guessing that that will drop to about 5 hours in normal use given other people's reports.
I've already ruled out the android OS in battery stats as causing any real drain. I've encountered this before with a previous device. All the manufacturer did was adjust the way battery stats was reported. There was no underlying bug to fix.
I'm taking things slowly and methodically with setup so if I do run into any real battery issues I should be able to easily identify the culprit(s).
I'll take the OTA some time in the next day or so and see how it compares. I'll feed back in this thread but I guess the WW update will be out by then.

It says implement, I am not sure myself.
Same here, Stagefright Detector still shows vulnerable.
Under battery I don't see screen and other stuff, it only shows android OS, I need to charge it full I guess?
I can't update (noone of 3 methods works for me, and i don't know why).. is there a way to make update ota with root?
For everyone who's having troubles updating, or worries about updating with root:
Remove root & exposed, restore the stock recovery, and make sure your system image is kept in a stock-like state. Anyone having issues updating with any modifications is taking a risk; a risk that is acknowledged whenever you modify your system beyond the factory configuration. There are too many permutations to consider as to why things are failing or broken after attempting to update if your device with root, exposed, bootloader unlock, and so on.
So before asking how to update, do us and yourselves a favor and remove everything you've done that breaks warranty. Restore the factory image if you must, but if you're worried about updating and refuse to undo your tinkering, just wait and see what people say in here.
It's hard enough to nail the actual bugs and issues in an update without false positives from people who break stuff by improperly applying an update. We want to make sure that ASUS knows what to focus on for legitimate issues

My experience with 59 has been positive so far. Battery life seems the same or slightly, slightly improved. The ability to disable built-in ASUS apps seems to still be intact for me as well (I came from 58 to 59). No excess heat, boot locks, lags, etc. Will have more experience within 24 hours.

Same as x..40.58 ??? Witch difference ?
Well, it makes sense to be very similar to .58 since this is only one digit off with .59 most likely a quick patch for install problems I would guess.

When is a stable build for this phone going to be launched?

As of update 15.2016.1805.311, we still have a majority of bugs not fixed. I want to ask if anyone knows when is a STABLE version of the OS is going to be released? Android P maybe? Or at least ASUS should fix the trivial issues that very apparently exist on this phone? I will list some of these issues:
1. Multi touch issue while playing games like PUBG or Dead Trigger (I know this issue is related to all phones running oreo but maybe asus can do something with their next build?)
2. Lock screen at times does not automatically go off after 10 seconds and waits for the whole duration (5 minutes in my case) as set in settings>display>advanced sleep. Lock screen should not use this setting as this setting is for homescreen, by default lockscreen should go off after 10 seconds of inactivity (Looks like some background apps are keeping it awake)(has reduced but still exists as of .311)
3. Snapdragon audio + equalizer vanished completely from play music and other third party music apps after .309 update (each update seems to do more harm than good)PLEASE BRING IT BACK !!!
4. Support for apps like google camera (ASUS, you have promised stock android experience and this goes against that). This will bring a huge improvement in front and back camera performance. Or else, ASUS can develop a better camera app
Its already stable i am getting 12h sot easily for 2 days usage since 309 update.
1 multitoch is oreo bug and will be fixed in June patch
2 lock screen working fine for me
3 you can install manually equaliser
4 camera will not be activated in future updates
The firmware is pretty stable to me. It's more like general android usage issue and this happens to most other android phones.
1) Multitouch is oreo bug but I do feel that phone companies should fix the problem themselves since they are customizing their own rom.
2) Lock screen no issue for me
3) Equaliser I don't use. Not a bug nor something that causes "stability" issue.
4) Camera is working (though not the best quality) and not having it support google camera is not a "stability" issue. They have the rights to not enable cameraapi.

Do you have any idea when is the June patch or the next update is going to be released?
If I may add, ZenMotion gesture doesn't work on me after the phone restart. Needs to turn off and on again in setting to fix it. Normally this should work once enabled even after phone restart.
Other bug is that the screen temperature changer keep revert back to default for unknown reason after several restart (even an unstable custom ROM is better on handling these)
I'm on 311 build too. Still waiting for latest security patch...

Realme 2 pro new update issues

The new update has 2 bugs I have discovered i.e. front camera and wifi.
The lights in front camera is reflecting very much
the wifi connection is not stable and disconnects for a few seconds all the time
Let me know if you have faced any bugs
I have not updated so I have not found that error, but if other users they update but the error like so how to do? Một vài cảm nhận về Realme 2, 2 Pro và C1 sau một ngày dùng thử
Accessibility notification
Realme has not fixed the problem with that annoying notification flash for enabling accessibility services for apps even there is notification for saying that developer option is enabled. This was also one of the most anticipated update fixes for me. Any one other having same issue?
Smart Assistant Force Closes sometimes. This also came with new update

Yes, I faced the wi-fi isue. Download speed(Ethernet speed 60 Mbps) & Stability is so much lower than Honor 6x on same router at same distance(5 feet).
While Honor is able to give output of around 56Mbps, Realme 2 pro is giving 30 to 42 Mbps(Same server). I have checked several times with different apps.

Android Pie Bugs

As promised by Nokia, all the Nokia 6.1 Plus users got the Android Pie Update at the end of October. I feel like the update was rushed and even though they had the Beta Labs for the Android Pie, it still consists of many bugs. Not sure if there are any other bugs other than the ones I'm listing but here are the major ones:
Battery drainage is comparatively more
The fast charging is not working. It takes 3 full hours for full charge. Also it no longer charges upto 50% in 30 minutes.
There are issues with the WiFi where it won't connect to any network until you restart the device.
Bluetooth switches on its own, randomly.
Fingerprint recognition is significantly slower.
The launcher (Quickstep) freezes or even crashes if you uninstall an app from the home screen. Also it freezes occasionally when you use the navigation to switch between apps.
Please list down other bugs that you've had, if any, down below. Also if anyone knows when is Nokia most likely to push an update for fixing these bugs, do let me know since the November security update already came without any fixes.
UPDATE:
Nokia pushed a new update last night. I'm hoping it contains fixes to the numerous bugs.
Frame rate drop on WhatsApp video calls . Don't see frame rate dropping on duo , Skype or any other app . Now I don't know who should be fixing this nokia / Google or whatsapp.
Fingerprints is not working in third party apps like AppLock.Casting is also not working. When I playing games touch is not working properly.So,these are the bugs after updating with pie.
Drainage of battery is also very fast..
Launcher3 crash when you don't have it as a default launcher and try to tap on recent apps. Scrolling left and right works, but as soon as you choose an app or try to click on Clear All, it crashes and takes you back to home screen.
For the battery drainage, with Adaptive Battery turned on, mine is almost equal to that on Oreo.
It does tell that it's fast charging, though it takes around 1 hour and 45 minutes charge fully, compared to 1 hour 30 minutes on Oreo.
Wi-Fi works fine for me, no issues.
I have my Bluetooth always turned on for my band, and it works just fine.
For Fingerprint Recognition, yeah, it feels slow. My Mi A1 is much faster at that.
I had some other issues with the device's lock screen acting super weird. I've set up Google's Face Unlock, and the built-in fingerprint, with a pattern. Sometimes it doesn't actually lock with power button press, and the lock sound comes much later. At that time, it would not unlock either with face or fingerprint, and even the pattern won't work. It occurs rarely, though.
I'm having some issues during calls, I don't know if it's hardware or software, but my mic doesn't work on calls sometimes. I have read on other forums that this is happening for many users of this phone.
Lock the phone and scan the fingerprint, repeat this continuously for 3-4 times. The phone gets hanged.
Also, sometimes, the screen starts flashing randomly and erroneously. Haven't been able to find out the exact reason for this.
Hi
Bro same are problems with my device.
But not with my friend's device
I want to ask whether it is the inbuilt problem of WiFi or software bugs?
I was so annoyed that I had planned to sell this phone .

Better request service centre to revert back to Oreo.....i visit there yesterday & successfully revert back to Oreo. Now my 6.1 plus is working flowless.
Bluetooth HD audio AAC doesn't seem to work, judging by the developer options.
Although admittedly, I've never used this on oreo and I know my headphones supports AAC because it worked with another device before.
Is it possible to revert back to Oreo?
When I'm on a call, and if a notification is received, the notification sound is of the battery charging sound. Very weird

You can using ost with bl unlocked
pie bugs
1. watsapp video call lags
2. battery draining too fast
3. phone slow down the performance when battery below 10%
4. phone lags usually
5.charging slowly
6. hiding notch not covering full notch
7. wifi issue
Pie Bugs for me:
--WIFI connecting but no internet. Restarting the device everytime is not a good solution. To make sure that WiFi works fine thereafter I do not toggle the WiFi OFF ever.
--"Ok Google" voice activation not working. Neither able to retrain my voice.
--Battery drain is atleast 10% higher over a period of 8 hours in idle mode.
--Fingerprint unlock has become extremely slow.
--Random freeze while trying to unlock using fingerprint scanner. The screen refuses to turn on even when power button is pressed. This happens for almost 5 to 10 minutes till finally the screen turns on.

I ordered one phone for my wife and now I start regretting reading about all these problems after Pie update (the phone is not here yet). I was planning to stop updating it from Oreo, any way to do it or once it gets set and WIFI on it will start updating itself ? Interesting that in your case it works, do you think that they changed OTA so new updates gets a newer fixed version ?
