After posts galore glorifying what you see as faults with Leo I cannot help but wonder what your true agenda is for your postings on Leo threads. Sorry for saying that, but a trend seems to be building to an inescapable conclusion that you have made it your crusade to disparage this phone at each and every opportunity. One is almost driven to the point of thinking that such disparaging allows economic gain.
And, that is as I see it now. I will not reply at all to any and all posts on this matter. It is just the way I see it.

I comment on many posts - offering praise, assistance and also some slating of the device. You just choose to concentrate on those posts which show the HD2 in a negative light. The OP is/was complaining about his device. I have an overly loud and distorted speaker, as do others, and I have complained about it before. Why shouldn't I post in a thread relating to speaker faults???

rlydiard meant that you don't need to keep criticizing the device when someone fells in trouble asking for help. Despite the flaws the device has, some workaround may help like Hard reset which is the first thing we ask users to do to overcome a weird behavior. The earpiece is crap I admit but telling that to the OP didn't really help him. My 2 cents.

Audio Booster - what HTC have to say...

Hi,
I contacted HTC recently regarding the Audio Booster issues and here is what they had to say.
Me: Hi, There have been continual complaints on forums regarding the Audio Booster on the HD2 and its inablilty to remain active. I get the feeling that everyone complaining feels that this solution provides the best sound output, but find it very frustrating when it turns off constantly. Are there any plans to address this issue? I have been advised that various non-official iterations of your ROMs have addressed this, so why hasnt it been done officially and 6 months after release? Please advise. Thanks.
HTC: Good morning (my name), Thank you for contacting us it is truly appreciated. In regards to your problem, we can certainly help you with that. We have noted your comments and suggestions. We understand the points that you have made and we are putting these forward to our development and update team. Please keep an eye on our website for any future updates or changes to this in the near future. Please note that we cannot confirm as of yet if we will go ahead with your ideas or not. Thank you We trust that this resolves your query, please do not hesitate to contact us again if and when required as a matter of urgency. Thank you for contacting HTC. Best regards, Mat B. HTC
Me: Hi, thanks for your response. Although it appears to me that my enquiry has not been treated as a known software issue, but more as an enhancement request. This should not be the case. It is a bug, that is as frustrating as former SMS issues, but has yet to be resolved.
Thanks.
What do you all think?

P.S. There is a .cab on XDA that enables audio boost all the time. I think its in "Tips & Tricks"...Tj

Looks like a canned answer to me...

Automated response by the looks of things.

The so-called registry fixes do not work. the only reports of a permanent fix are the cooked roms, which is what I mentioned in my post above. I don't want a cooked ROM, just proper acknowledgement from HTC that its a bug requiring a fix.
Let's see what unfolds....

Thank you for your enquiry about Audio Booster
We are aware of this problem with the handset
We do not have this information available please check back our web site regulary

Thats the latest answer i got when i complained about the Audio Booster (April)
I got this answer when i complained about it the first time (February)
I have looked into this issue further and it would seem it's a present on all HD2 devices so with all likelyhood a built in feature currently. We've forwarded feedback regarding this to our programmers for them to keep in mind with future updates so what I'd suggest is that you keep checking htc.com for the latest updates to your hd2.

[Q] spy on someone's Samsung?

Hello, I am new to this forum and I came here to ask if there is any possibility for me to spy on my man his phone. I've tried Google, but all what I found is very priced spy software. Ive checked several threads before making this thread but I couldn't find answers to my questions. I hope I'm not at the wrong section or forum for this!
Also, please don't think I'm paranoid. I have all the reasons not to trust him because he lied alot to me, though he claims that he has never cheated on me.
I either want to bust him with this or be able to trust him after spying on him and nothing could be found.
I don't know alot about android phones since I have a iPhone and never had a android (my man has a Samsung, not sure which one but I can find this out if necassary, its quite new and has the size of a tablet so I'm guessing it's a note 3?)
His phone is not rooted. I rather not do that. I don't want to mess up his phone and as far as I know you can tell if your phone is rooted by looking at your downloads. Unless he agrees with me rooting his phone this could be an option, but I can't give him any good reasons why. Our computer broke recently, so rooting with a computer is not possible.
And finally I would like to state what features I'd love
Browser history logs
Logs of In and out going calls
Gps tracking
Recording calls*
Recording environment*
Make photo/screenshot*
Acces to images
Whatssap messages*
(*) I think that the ones with * really require a rooted phone, but I can always try, right..? Maybe there is someone here with a solution for me
Also, I'm not familiar with hacking, sorry! But if you are willing to help me with this, try to avoid hacking language please! (I dont know what a rom is or flashing for example, not being English makes it harder for me)
I don't mind donating!
Thank you in advance for replying!

If you've checked similar threads you would also have come across several moderators informing the posters that we do not support these activities.
If you feel you can't trust him, what the hell are you still doing in that relationship? Trust and respect are the very foundations of a healthy relationship. If those are gone, do yourself a favour, get the hell out.

Ohw! I haven't noticed that, I saw developers having threads that were offering these kinds of features. If that is the case then a mod can close my thread.
I agree with you that trust one of the most important things is in a relationship, but ending my relationship with him isn't that easy, we have a kid. I don't mind that he sometimes lies to me for his own good, I just want to find out if he's cheating, because if he is, I'm grabbing my stuff and leave him.

Looks like you should find some time and sit down with him to discuss the relationship issues between you and him... spying on him is one sure fire way to end the relationship.
Anyways thread closed.

New to this scene...desperate for AptX

Hi all,
I've had a 6P for a year...despite some frustrations it's a reliable phone and I had no intentions to move off of it this year because there arent any phones on Verizon which interest me right now.
Anyway, I'm a bit of an audio snob and have been super frustrated about lack of AptX support in this phone. Seems that's no longer the case (?) with Oreo and I am desperate to get it working. I've installed 8.1 OTA, that's it.
Can someone here help me learn how to do this in the easiest, most painless way possible? Does some basic research on TWRP, magisk, etc...but it's all rather foreign to me still. I do have some basic knowledge with rooting...early Androids when I was younger, but for the last 5 years stopped paying attention as I found stock to more than suit my needs. So I'm basically starting from zero.
If there's any scenario that doesn't force me to reset my device, and also will allow me to still accept OTA updates, that'd be amazing. I'd rather not sacrifice security and ease of use.
Thank you so much in advance. Super pumped to join this community.

You might need to do more then you want but here is a thread of people discussing it working.

I saw that thread, thanks! It doesn't really have a blow by blow process for beginners though. Is my question best suited for that thread?

Now what?

Considering that our project that shall not be mentioned was successful, I was wondering about what can be expected in terms of custom roms for this device. I don't know if ASUS released decent sources for the Ze533KL, so can we expect an eventual daily driver release or shall we expect more experimental builds? Of course I'm not asking for ETA, just wondering about what can actually be achieved for this phone.
The thing I really wanted to have with this phone is some kind of burn-in protection (which is implemented in LOS as far as I know). My phone is still under warranty, and I can already see marks of the keyboard and other icons when displaying a white image.
Since the actual thread was closed, maybe this one could be used as a bulletin board for any new unfoldings.
Cheers.

sure thing, I also thought about creating new thread where we can inform each other about our initiative. I believe that McFy is waiting for his unit to arrive. Then there will be LOS hopefully. I'm rooting for him
As far as Lineage OS features I think it is OK to ask a question here and wait for some research and answer about it.
Let's keep our fingers crossed

"Now what?" is a fantastic name for the thread.
Exactly my feeling.
Ironicaly, XDA killed the iniatitive on the day it reached its goal. So, there was no reason at all to do what was done.
About a custom ROM for the device, I have no preferences. Whatever suits the developer is good for me as long as the final product is stable and runs well.

hello everyone,
I bought the device and got it today, I downloaded stock rom, kernel sources and flashed twrp on it, I did a first build for this device but it didn't boot. Don't ask any ETA as I will not be able to tell the amount of work until I get something working. I will share with you the progress but can't give any date.
Regards and thanks for the support

bro pls give an unofficial process to unlock this device because official unlock tool not working it shows "unknown network error".

@McFy any news?

please share a working process of unlock bootloader without asus unlock tool apk....i m waiting for 3 years

I'll be honest - I don't know what any of that says and for the next ten days I'm stuck on mobile (vacation!!) so if you could translate that would be great.

Basically, a dev named Erik will try to contact Mcfly so that they both could work on porting the official Zenfone 3 Lineage to Zenfone 3 Zoom.

Thank you for that.

Oh well, don't wanna jump the gun here, but it seems like the dude took the money and spent on something else, or he's been really busy since then, as he no longer even commented on any xda posts.
In any case, It's a shame. Now we know why XDA doesn't allow group funding for this kind of thing. Not asking for eta is something, but you can't volunteer to develop for a device, take the money and disappear and expect people not to distrust you.
My advice for all others that contributed would be to next time buy a phone with a greater dev community, and never donate if there's no ongoing project.
Really hope I'm wrong here, please @McFy, show up and prove me wrong.

I don't think you're jumping the gun - it's almost three months since @McFy last posted to us that he obtained the phone and even his github project named "android_device_asus_zenfone3_zoom" (which I presume this was for) doesn't appear to have any work done on/to it whatsoever - I don't think it's unreasonable to have gotten some kind of status update within that time, even if it's negative.
Without knowing what happened for certain I will unfortunately have to think the obvious.

Hey guys sorry for not updating you, I don’t want to tell my private life but my gf have health problems and it made me busy driving her/ spend time with her, I definitely didn’t forget you and am in touch with the project, I achieved to boot but lot of stuffs are broken; zenfone 3 have now new trees since it is now official and I am working on it; I went in touch with the dev. Fyi I did buy the device for real as I said, I am someone you can trust and in the case the situation of my gf isn’t getting better I will give that phone to another developer at my fees; I also want to mention It’s not on my habit to share wip builds or push trees change until it’s not on a state I judge nice enough.
Best regards and I hope you will understand. I totally apologize but I went inactive in all dev scene I am on and it’s hard for me as well to come back like this..
If you have any questions I can answer them if they are not personals.
I sincerely hope that you guys won’t get mad at me.

First off, I am sorry to hear of your gf's health problems - and I truly mean that. I hope that she recovers and you don't need to tell us any more information because that is personal.
Next - the heads-up is absolutely appreciated. Thank you! I do hope you can also see from our point of view how it was looking to us and understand that we were getting puzzled. Now we know why.
Thank you again.

That’s me who owe you that and more.
Yes I ofc can see from your point of view and that’s why I went back on the forums, I got emails and more so I realized I got the phone since enough time for you to think I might have forgotten you,
Thanks for your message it’s really appreciated!

So, another month's passed. Any news?

anyone in contact with the developer?

so sad. that money was important to me. now the z3z is kinda past on my life. won't judge others, but by the delay, i guess i can judge myself injuried.
