New Update Tonight August 12... 2.20.40.59 - ZenFone 2 General

Received a new update tonight, wonder what changed, good to see Asus keeping up with the updates. Not sure what changed but will see tomorrow after running it for a bit.

Wonder if you can still disable system apps like we can with the update from a few days ago (.x..40.58)

Is there a need to re-enable disabled asus apps before updating
I disabled the apps from settings - apps

I did not re-enable anything and it updated.

Can we disable all the asus apps or just few of them

See for any improvements in performance ... cuz i have seen it stutter often in .58 the ui was laggy and games were choppy in balanced mode

Should I uninstall xposed framework and unroot before applying this ota?

Reply to myself on this one - turned off the xposed modules I was using then uninstalled xposed framework. Didn't bother unrooting as had used method three. OTA worked just fine.

system apps

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.

Android Lollipop 5.0.2 Bugs / Troubles / Grievances / Features

So Official Rollout Start Hope Eeveryone is now on Lollipop 5.0.2 :highfive:​
It's a Request Guys Please Post Bugs Here.​​
Some Common Bugs List/New Features/More:
1.Swipe down from status bar
Click on users icon... And click more settings... Enjoy the lag...
2. Open app drawer (newer google now launcher)
Click on home button
Enjoy microstutters...
3. Go to settings
Click on any title..
The animation that seems to come from lower part of screen towards center also lags for the first time...
4. One of the major hits was that switching data on now requires at least 4 touches...yes i know aosp has it like this but...Moto being an oem could have made it simpler... For someone like me who toggles data several times a day, this is hectic.
One thing again moto failed to do was to remove the drop down quick setting when a secured lock screen is used. How the hell it is secure when any one can swtich off the data and swtich on air plane mode or even use my phone as a wifi hotspot..
5. wifi battery drain is present wid build 5.0.2. Battery is draining even when all the wifi toggles are off (including scanning while sleep) .. Have seen this on my nexus 5 too.... U can thank google for this and motorola for not patching it..
6. net is switched on and working but it is not accompanied by E/H icon near the signal icon ... This bug is random and just showed up on my device.
7. When I put adaptive brightness at its lowest then screen start flickering.
8. Lag in dialer specially while seeing recent call logs/call history.
9. Animation & UI Lag
Credit: @doctor_droid
Is dialler lag still here on final lollipop for xt1033 users? http://youtu.be/cZfSrRihrUk
You copied and pasted this from @doctor_droid's post, with no credit to him.
Battery Drain fast and UI is laggy.
Apart from the ones listed, the widget bug is a problem of the google app update and not the whole system update.
The guest mode lags a lot.
Under data usage stats, 2010 and other system apps come up without names.
Smooth but a little slow.
I'm facing these bugs on my XT1033 :
1. When I put adaptive brightness at its lowest then screen start flickering.
2. Lag in dialer specially while seeing recent call logs/call history.
3. Some common bugs which every lollipop user is facing like even after clearing recent apps some random apps start appearing there e. g. android system
but I'm not facing any bug as mentioned above expect power toggles on secure lock screen and that 6th bug.
Now if I talk about Improvements then
1st : Improved battery life, about 1 hour of extra screen on time earlier on kitkat 4.4.4 I was getting 3 Hours and 30 minutes of screen on time with full 24 h (screen on time+stand by time) of usage.
2nd : improved ram management about 400+ mb of ram are always free earlier on kitkat 4.4.4 it was 200-300 mb.
3rd: UI is now more fluid and smooth it's faster than ever and even more improved multitasking.
I updated my phone manually.
Thanks
and one more thing my English is not that good so you may find some bugs there too
After update there is a notification which says update google play services but when i try to update it on playstore it says no update.what to do?

All these bugs you mentioned are not present in my phone and 3 other Moto G that was updated to Lollipop recently.
Wi-Fi usage is not even showing up on the battery list and its always on. There is no such Wi-Fi battery drain here on 4 Moto G devices.
E and H icons are always visible in the status bar. It seems a very limited random bug on few devices.
---------- Post added at 01:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:54 PM ----------
People cried for Lollipop since Motorola announced it for Moto G and now they are crying for potential bugs. Priceless!!!​
i have issue with battery doctore widget in 5.0.2. previous versions works fine with this widget. when i turn on data it is not actually turned data connection for mobile networks. Every time i have to go data usuage and turn on data connection.
How many of you factory reset and wiped cache after the update? If you haven't done it try it. Then post bugs.....

Oh, this. I thought nobody else noticed the animation stuttering (also happening in the GPE).
Lollipop animations are cool, but not when they lag/stutter.
I hope there's a solution for this.

animations are lagging sometimes in 4.4.4 too. I think it's just the device cpu is a bit slow.
battery
charging takes more time than normal.
animations are snappy in cm12 but not in stock lollipop.
screen on times have increased but...standby has decreased....
guys, if you are having problems using wireless hotspot on moto G,
1.Use it without a password
2. Get it to connect with PC
3. after it connects, try it out (should work)
4. Disconnect
5. create password for the hotspot - IMPORTANT - The password must be at least 10 characters and must be a combination of letters and numbers
6. try it out.
When I created the hotspot using passwords that did not have letters and numbers, it wouldn't connect.
try it out and give out responses because I heard some people could not use wireless hotspot.
one of the requirements for WPA S2 password is the letter and number combo.
------------------
I flashed the flashable stock 5.0.2 rom and have been getting awesome battery life and performance. Maybe its because the bloat's gone.
You guys should try it out
I found bug..
when I try to activated battery saving, the color of status bar and navigation bar, become orange .. although I set it when it reach 15% left , while my battery still 80% left

This is so annoying, I thought it was my charger. Glad to see it's fixed.

FreeMy experience with Nougat!

EDIT: (!) WiFi and mobile network periodically die!?! ... Oh dear .... AND poor Wifi reception!! Keeps disconnecting me.
Performance; Same as before, if not better.
Camera; New manual settings (shutter speed, focus etc) are awesome
Xloud; definitely makes the audio louder
Battery; remains to be seen
Multitasking; it's works and is cool, can be a bit glitchy
Other thoughts;
- I don't like how you don't have direct access in quick settings to enable / disable wifi or mobile data. You have to go through a second menu to access the toggle switch.
- I don't like that there is no built in night mode
- I wish there wasn't a constant data saver icon
+ I like that there is a move apps option in the transfer to SD card section.
+ More free storage !!
+ VoLTE works (for me at least)
+ Redesigned system apps look good
+ Sliding down the notification shade is no longer difficult (due to disabled animations) in stamina mode
+ May security patch

My battery life is way better than before. I sometimes don't even charge it overnight when I didn't use my phone a lot (in other words: stand by time significantly improved for me). Average cycle indicated by gsam is 1d10h .
XLoud is good to have, although I think it makes the sound quality worse and the lowest volume level way too loud.
About night mode, I think it is built-in but just hidden. In other words, I think you need to use an app just to access the settings, but the actual implementation is built in.
On the subject of wifi quick settings: I works in two steps now. First a small bar is drawn, in which you can toggle, then the full quick settings which give access to the more complex wifi menu and other quick settings. I'm not really a fan either, but I guess that'll change once I trained myself to use the small bar for quick toggling.

Oh thanks. Didn't realise you could toggle WiFi in the small bar. Does your phone randomly completely freeze after Nougat and even holding the power button does nothing?

Mine has the May patch, as for the night mode, I think there are apps on the playstore that can enable it.
I've noticed that Swiftkey now cannot even be disabled and Bravia engine is gone, the setting is now called Image Enhancement. They gave us xLoud but took away Bravia Engine.
What is Sony thinking by replacing all their good apps with commercial versions.

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...

and the album app laggs when deleting photo
*No WPS connection in WiFi.
*Many crashes in Bluetooth setting.
*Removed list of devices in toogle WiFi /Bluetooth.
It only remains to wait for Sony to solve it and it will repaired.
with this pie update (I updated by Xperia Companion) I got problems with the volume up button. In most cases, I can't increase the volume because the button doesn't activate the panel. With Android 8, all worked like a charm..

That's a pie thing, Google removed WPS support but plans to add it back in a future release (either 9.1 or 10): https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/79404939#comment10
Although WPS should stay removed as it's pretty unsecure.
-Xperia backup not working properly, doesn't backup to SD, stays at 0% and can't connect to online ac****. Google's backup works though.
-The navbar, the style is inconsistent, it should always be like it is in Album app, almost transparent, it looks very nice there. But sometimes its white, sometimes black.
I did flash the FW with flashtool and the 47.2 fsc a user provided here, because the newflasher method didn't seem to fully wipe and format my phone, all the app permissions stayed the same and some system settings, even before restoring the backup. And some tests in Service menu didn't work properly, they're fine now.
navbar

After the update, the notification sound starts before the ringtone when I receive a call. Someone could tell me if it's a setting I could'n find or a bug?
For me after update
1:Bluetooth auto connecting disconnecting after some time.
2:bettery care didn't work any more.
3:bettery drains faster then Orio.

I had the same problem. I can't remember what app was it but I will try to say it. When call comes don't answer it. Swipe down notification center and you will see something I think smart call or like this. I can't remember the name of app. Hold finger on it and option to turn notification off will appear. Turn it off.
Not only in waze, I'm having the same issue with different app, and is orribile when u use a dark mode or night mode.. And some trouble with smart backlight stop working... Version .306

I gotta say, I'm not having any of these issues.
Mines a g8142. Originally flashed to G8141 au firmware but discovered lower right speaker issue of low volume.
Flashed back to ce1 g8142. Everything working without a glitch. Just no VOLTE.
Are people doing a software repair via xperia companion after flashing? I find if I don't do it, I get issues.

I found temporary solution here:
talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Z2/Transparent-or-semi-transparent-navigation-bar-ALL-apps-in/td-p/1000244#gref
"The app is named on the Google Play Store as GMD Full Screen Immersive Mode and its works very fine (tested personally). "
now I can hide navbar whenever without root
Received the OTA 47.2.A.2.33
The problem of the navbar seams solved

Falshtool automatically can download and flash the entire firmware with no modification. I did that. you can select all areas to erase and it works perfectly and also tells u which areas it didn't erase. And Next step once switched on - u can redo the RESET option in phone OR REPAIR option of Xperia COmpanion to make sure everything is installed and erased perfectly. Works.
Backup I havent tried, as I have all files stored on SD card or cloud.

Bluetooth no issues at all - I am on UK .33 ROM.
It connects in my CAR and to my Audio system all the time automatically and plays songs and calls uninterrupted. It also connects auto to my GPS.
In Oreo I had a problem with Bluetooth - on apple music whenever I hit play while connected to home audio system play used to stop immediately. I had to change the BIT rate in Developer menu. With Pie - no more of any issue. works all the time with no changes.
