How to open the back cover and change the battery? - Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom Questions & Answers

Has anyone been able to open the back cover the the Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom? My battery is running very well but I am wondering if it is possible to change it later if needed. I do not see any youtube video for this.

Whoa no replies? So this phone cannot be opened at all? >_>

It doesn't seem to be very popular on here. Which makes me suspect the future of one with custom ROMs etc might be nonexistent.
Is it a glass back?

Looking at the ZenFone 2, it looks like a nightmare:

There is a russian disassembly video on youtube for the Zen 3 Zoom. It looks straightforward. I can't seem to embed it for some reason.... it's called 'Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom ZE553KL LCD replacing'
Looks easy enough.

No. It is the Asus 3 Zoom ZE553KL with metal back.

Why should a developer take time building a rom for ICS when it will be obsolete 5 minutes from now?
Just chill and wait for the official JB OTA and you will see plenty of development.

There is a CM10 build that rocks and a stock deodexed/zip aligned ROM out there.

Cm10 is great if you don't mind giving up all s-apps. That is high price to pay for some. The other rom you mentioned is very buggy.

Do any s apps work with cm10? S-notes for instance. Split screen. Mini apps. I dont believe so.

They do not. Check out Papyrus. I like it better than s-notes and lecture notes.

Greetings all,
This is my first time posting at XDA, I was pretty active at AndroidForums.
I did a lot of work with the Galaxy Prevail and I just got a Note 10.1 this week, I'm hoping to apply some of the things I learned from working with Gingerbread on and under-powered device to this new toy

I would think this tablet would get decent attention considering it is hands down the best tablet with a stylus and true multi-tasking abilities.. guess not.. I would think it usually takes an experience dev not too many man hours to convert the build from a 3g N8000 device to a non 3g N8013. My Xoom took literally no time at all.. I hope development will step up. ICS is good but the JB update with project butter and notes 2.0 goodies along with the new multitasking would make this tablet sooo much better.

Led light slightly displaced

The led light-one which blinks on receiving notifications looks slightly displaced on my i9500.
please let me know if others also face the same thing.

It is slightly off centre. That's where it's meant to be. I think it would've looked better a little loWer.

In all honesty, and trying to be nice, but we English-speaking people have no idea what you mean by the above. Please try to explain it better.
"Shoot lightning" could mean how do you take pictures of lightning with a camera, because the word "shoot" often means to take a picture.
"could not be lit" could mean 100 different things.
Although I have a feeling that English is not your first language, you need to take more time to explain things before we can help.

Similarly, I have no idea what YOU said above. It makes no sense; however, seeing that you live in Canada (Mississauga, like me), you should know better. Please speak English.

Sorry thought it was a popular internet meme and most people knew it lol. And another curve ball at you, the meme is what is called "Engrish." Now you know (I'll spare you the arrogant assumption that you should know)

I think you mean there was a power surge due to lightening, and your phone would no longer turn on. Please confirm.

if your right that was a bloody good guess
Or perhaps OP is asking how to turn on the flash? Just hit the gear icon when you have the camera open and switch it to auto flash if necessary.

Camera update 10/2014

Did the camera update yesterday and did some shooting at the Grand Canyon. When the focus/exposure option is selected this thing takes a good picture!
Taken post update. I'm a lucky dude.

Please advise your friends against the use of kratom. Highly addictive and not good with poly drug users. Causes a flood of dopamine

You are welcome. I took a bunch more. Will post some additions.
Grand Canyon South Rim
Taken with the latest update 11/21/2014
HDR seems to be more aggressive
One is kind of a meta picture of my girlfriend taking a picture with a droid turbo, the walkway photo is that picture, for comparison(aw snap, its compressed)
I've always thought that it took decent pictures regardless of the update. they might not be the most accurate of the most sharp, but I personally think the pictures these phones take have more character than other phones I've used.

Post Your Custom Edge Themes

Hello everyone. One of my favorite threads from the Note 3 was the post your home page themes. I would like to see this post grow like the other. Let's see what you have. Be clean!
Here is mine. Some pic I didn't bother cropping. I just line up what I wanted to see on the edge panel.

I need to do some more work on it. I gotta find out how to make it taller but not stretch out the image.
I wish you can change text color tho. It's not displayed on the attachment but it says
