Check all specs on asus Indian website
6. I have heard Zenfones support usb OTG?
Only zenfone4 has OTG support as of now see this video
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54567674&postcount=13
Zenfone5 & 6 do not support as of now on 4.3,
Asus is indeed testing & considering OTG support on 4.4 kitkat but will it be launched or not is not yet known so kindly wait till official announcement about Kitkat 4.4 which is expected in Aug last week or Sept first week 2014
7. How good or bad is the battery backup on zenfones?
Its quite good battery back of 15-17 hrs mix usage. I have used even upto 30 hrs backup. When you receive the phone new charge the battery to 100% before using for the first time then let it discharge to 2-5% & then charge again to 100%
New phones will have battery drain issues but with couple of charges and applying all system update, battery backup will improve dramatically.With average usage battery should last 15 - 17 hours. Battery drain more during 3g usage , camera and heavily while gaming (heavy games) or with background services.
8. Does it have FM radio?
All phone have FM radio but it will not work without the headphones connected as it works as antenna for the radio. You can store upto 6 channels only as of now.
9. How good is sound quality?
Firstly apply all the updates as asus have changed few options to improve quality.
Loud speak sound is quite low even after updates but headphone quality is amazing which good bass using supplied headphones. If you have 3rd part expensive headphones you will be pleasantly surprised by it.
***NOTE*** After system update to 1.15.40.35_2 firmware, please open Audio wizard and enable Music Mode by clicking the power icon on the top right side of the words "Music Mode"
The system update automatically switches Audio wizard off while updating, so please enable it otherwise you will get extremely low volume.
10. How to take screenshots?
Go to settings > Asus customized settings > Key settings
Select Tap and hold to take screenshot.
Now tap and hold the third key (bottom right) on the navigation bar to get screenshots
ALTERNATIVELY
You can take screenshots by pressing Power button + Volume down button simultaneously.
11. I have problem with system update. When I click on update I dont see any new updates. What do I do?
Those who are facing problem while updating the system.
Go to Settings> Apps>All Apps> dmclient
clear cache> force stop>restart your mobile
Then try system update from settings > about>check update
If the above procedure doesn't work, do a factory reset and try system update, if that also fails then you will need manual updating. See point 3a above.
12. Where can I find kernel source code for asus zenfone?
Here are asus zenfone5 & zenfone6 kernel source code on its support site

Rooting guide ONLY for zenfone 5/6
No confirmation if this root works on z4 & z4.5
This rooting is only for jellybeans 4.3 DOES not work on KITKAT 4.4.2
Rooting may void your warranty & can soft brick your phone
DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK only.
*****ROOTING method to follow*****
Download rootzenfone.apk from here
http://www.asus-zenfone.com/2014/09/rootzenfone-144r-apk.html
Install the root app on your phone then follow step 1-6.
Goto Settings > Security >Check the Unknown Sources (Allow installation of apps from unknown sources) box else this apk will not install since its from other source than playstore.
1. turn off data and wifi / airplane mode before rooting (IMPORTANT)
2. press the root button at bottom, after 5 sec when demo mode notification pop up turn off the phone.
3. Start the phone now & let it boot normally it will show you are rooted.
4. enable wifi & Install root check app from play store > open rootchecker app & confirm the rooting. (see screenshot below)
5. Once rooting is confirmed> open the SuperUser app > settings> enable the pro version in settings. (see screenshot below)
6. After you have enabled pro option> in setting enable the > survival mode, now OTA updates can be applied (see screenshot below)
hopefully without problem.
7. Unrooting is simple open the SuperSU app (NOT the rootZenfone app), SuperSU app will show full unroot option> press the button> phone should reboot now & delete the SuperUser app. Open rootchecker app which you downloaded in step 4 & confirm the root permission is Denied (you will see message in RED)
ONCE YOU ARE ROOTED remember not to apply OTA updates from asus without checking the "root survival mode" in your rooting app (it preserves your root during update) This check should be done every time you update.

How to click panorama with asus zenfone
Watch the video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4mc_1tLDd4&list=PLBTfQLF7fs0AwAz7Hq0uCsWOFHftp5ilr&index=12
Like other mobiles you cant shoot partial panorama which is quite an over-site by asus you have to shoot 360°

Although phone is great and all we wont get Android L for it

Different version of the OS don't necessarily make the phone best, the first stock OS gives maximum time to any company to work on. Knowing Asus support system in development you never know we may get L too but they have as of now promised Kitkat which probably will bring usb OTG support to it.

4.3 does support otg.
Sent from my ASUS_T00I using Tapatalk

NO not as of now,
hardware supports otg but there is no kernel level support as yet for z5 & z6
so you cant connect a pendirive & browse data on these.
Asus is indeed working on it.

I am connecting my pendrive and able to browse data.

It happened with me too yesterday, I was thinking of doing factory reset but dint do it,voice search was not working, I was able to hear incoming calls but other side was hearing loud disturbance which indicated me that some recording app is interfering, I uninstalled all such mike apps then restarted the phone without SIM, later inserted the SIM & since then all is working fine.
Try this if it helps, I still dont know which app/s caused this problem.
If this fails then only do factory reset, but since you will loose all data you have to take all data backup contacts/sms/photos.

Oh are you saying that 1st video you shot didn't had sound recorded at all
or does that mean that when you play that video its not playing sound? Try playing that video in computer or another mobile.
If factory reset has not solved the problem It seems you have a actual hardware problem with speaker in that case best solution is to get replaced under warranty.

Switch off problem
When I switch off the phone:
- the display goes dark
- 1 second later the back light goes on, and the display shows the locked screen with the clock on it for a second
- the display goes dark again for a second
- the back light goes on again, and the display shows the locked screen with the clock on it for a second
- the display goes dark and remains dark
It is very strange. I try to do a factory reset, and check this behavior again.

Check that you've turned off syncing of Google account categories, except email, contacts and calendars (if you need them, that is - if not, disable those too). Also disable 3G when not in use, and disable WiFi when on the move, otherwise the WiFi radio is continually searching for signals, therefore battery drain will result.

Led notification not working
After I've updated it seems that led notification light isn't working in any way, I searched for some work around and got motorola led notification toggle widget, still my led notification isn't working. Another issue is that if a 3rd party song has to be set as ringtone it is mandatory that you copy it to the ringtones folder to work. Is there any work around specially for led notification light?
P.S. My pulse notification is turned on!

It seems, that a factory reset helped with this. But I am not sure... maybe also the "Settings/Display/Ambient display" setting has something to do with this.

Hello. Normally I prefer to just lurk deep and find anyone with any similar worries/issues but overall after I installed the update on my moto g i'm very pleased. I have no issues as of yet whatsoever but there's only one thing that worries me. My motog is as far as I know the eu one. Granted I did buy it from eu after all. When it was running on 4.4.4 the build version was the kxb one. I updated from the captured ota that this thread is all about but the only thing that is out of place is that build version now is lxb22.46-28 I just want to know if that would pose any future issues for my phone and if I need to update will I first have to get a stable build from here or will i be able to just go use the normal ota updater. System version is absolutely the same as my kitkat one except for the numbers naturally but the lxb worries me since it was kxb before I updated. I don't feel like rooting this phone so don't intend to unlock bootloader either but I just want to know how I should proceed in the future so I can get out of a possibly messy situation before I enter it in the first place.

Hi, I have 2 problems, when I installed 22.21.28.titan_retaildsds.retaildsdsall.en.03 retla to my xt1068 I now have the second sim card permanently disabled.
I also want to updated to marshmallow but it says that the package was waiting for a different build or something like that.
Thanks!

T-Mobile has Finally released the Android 11 Updgrade for OnePlus 8 5G

The wait is OVER! T-Mobile OnePlus 8 5G Android 11 update has been released (well to select few with issues for sure). This is not official but I can confirm that I do infact have it. No root. Yes I am unlocked and came from Sprint but that played no part in the Update I received.

Go ahead and check now. I was a former Sprint - Tmobile Failed TNX Transfer. After months of being told complete nonsense, they proactively called me, troubleshot and without notice I checked again and there it was. This could be a TS Procedure, however, see attached Screenshots and I believe everyone will see it Feb 2-4th. My experience as one of the initial transfers has been anything but smooth. However, I commend their Customer Service and their Tech SUpport for owning the issue and this may have saved me as a customer. Mind you I will absolutely not buy from them again, however, I will sell this oneplus 8 5g that is unlocked for the 8t/8Pro or 9 Pro unlocked and stick with them for the outstanding customer service!

AOD doesn't have the all day function like global does, modem cant switch from 5g to 4g without a reboot or airplane mode toggle, wifi calling works when if "feels" like it.

@esjames so just to confirm are you saying that you're having issues with the automatic transition from 5G to 4G or vice versa? Cuz that would be a very big problem for me especially since I am 99% of my time on my home Wi-Fi and have been missing calls ever since doing the upgrade. Can you confirm that if I do do a global conversion will that result in error and if so do you happen to have a guide on how to convert from Android 11?
Thank you in advance.

It doesn't appear to have AOD? that's the one feature I wanted. Ugh

I went and got the iphone 12 pro yesterday, and yes "all day" aod isnt there and 4g-5g switching works only sometimes. Got tired of it dropping signal. Global firmware doesnt have stand alone 5g but at least it didnt drop signal.

Missing features aside (it seems several releases back from what I'm seeing in OnePlus' forums, where several devices are on 11.0.3.3 and 11.0.5 is in beta testing) how is it overall? Stability, battery life, Android Auto, etc?

Most says beta 5 is more stable than the stable release. The global release is pretty good. Battery life kinda sucks though

Are you guys having issues with YouTube and twitch mini screen hiding on the bottom of the screen and not appearing on recent apps?

I just updated. I hope I don't regret this

I like with the exemption of YouTube and maps mini floating screen disappearing

I'm not too thrilled with the update. Very laggy and buggy, wiped cashed data and it seems to have helped.... Slightly. Missing some text after a little while I'll get 3-4 all at the same time. I'm going to unlock and throw rhe international version on it very soon.

My first test of Android Auto in the truck was not great. At first everything seemed fine, but it got extremely slow after checking out 3 or 4 apps. I'll clear cache on related apps and see if that helps. The phone itself has been fine so far.

So first real test of Google navigation on AA today, and it wasn't good. When I searched for a place and selected directions, it showed three options, but the routes were not highlighted on the selection screen or while navigating, no matter how many times I closed the app and re-did the search. Finally I gave up and used Waze, which worked fine. I tried Google Maps again partway through, and that time it showed the route, but I cancelled it. When I got where I was going and unplugged the phone, it was very warm and there was a temperature warning - actually it said device temperature was back to the safe range. It's never done that before. Also the phone still had a persistent navigation notification shown that didn't want to go away. I am really disappointed right now. Normally I would also stream music while navigating, but didn't this time, and it still made the phone really warm on top of the other issues.

I don't care for the update either. Has crazy lag with screen transitions. Android Auto works fine for me. Freezes up when phone screen is left on. Turn off phone screen and android auto is responsive again. Did notice the missing navigation route issue once or twice. Forgot how I solved it but it's working now.
Otherwise just got the update yesterday. I will also say I think the maps issue is the actual maps app. Mine did it on android 10 not 11.
Also keyboard has round corners now?

Ever since I've updated there has been a problem with texting and I'm hoping someone might have an answer.
After I updated I noticed I could receive group text but my one on one text don't arrive (and I have timed it 15 20 minutes later.
I tried different texting apps (I use Textra) but nothing changed.
I did a factory reset and nothing changed
I called T Mobile and replaced sim card and after talking to technicians - nothing changed
I've changed settings and texting apps again - nothing changed.
Can anyone help?
I cannot get one on one text or app verification codes quick enough to install certain apps but I can still receive group maeesages quickly.

Am I the only one have trouble connecting in FlashMode? No matter what I've tried, debugging on, debugging off, the "Adb devices" command doesn't see a da** thing. I could've sworn I had connect to this phone with the android 10 version.
BTW, I had to laugh, 'cause it took me a minute to find the Flashmode option in the new Power menu. They sort of hid it.
Just wondering because I've been trying all afternoon. Probably just something stupid I'm doing but I gotta get this going so I can debloat thing. This rom is so loaded with bloatware, it's crazy. After I got finished paring down all the Sprint apps that were on my LG V50 it weighed about 5lb less and this one's is way worse.

February Patch for T-Mobile is out!! Hopefully with AOD and bug fixes.

nope. just february patch with bug fixes.

Still no AOD, pathetic. Who do we complain to - Tmobile or OnePlus?

Things have been better since I cleared the cache from the recovery menu. I don't remember the phone charging at only 1A in the car before. Seems to be the same whether I use Android Auto through the radio's USB port or my car charger. I guess the OnePlus 8 doesn't support Quickcharge?

The official PL2 downloads page that is linked in the post does not include 19.1 builds. I'm just reporting this in case something has been forgotten. Of course, it could also be because the builds are just not ready yet.

It's literally being built right now lol

hello @theimpulson, @npjohnson, I was able to upgrade from official lineageOS 18.1 to official 19.1 successfully, the system represents good stability in general, although I have found these bugs.
======Overall error and performance report=======
-Sometimes the system freezes and restarts when I format the MicroSD as portable storage.
-The error still persists in the installation of applications that exceed 500mb or download of additional content from the playstore in adoptable storage(It starts to corrupt the files and sometimes when you transfer the files to the microSD in the adoptable storage, some of them get corrupted).
-Native screen recorder does not record system audio.
-Sometimes the interface feels a bit slow, but it does not affect daily use.
-The new camera application does not have the option to save the videos or photos to the memory card.
-The native voice recorder does not have the option to save the records on the memory card and its options are not translated into Spanish.
-The native AUDIOFX equalization application sometimes applies the adjustments made from the interface (I think it may be because it has remained in its version 2.2.0 and has not received an improvement in the last 2 years, since android 10 LineageOS 17.1 that is in that version), it would be great if the EQ Reverb option would work on this device .
-The transmission of content over Wi-Fi has unfortunately lost performance compared to the previous version, an approximate loss of 17 to 28% , sound cuts are persistent and this also affects the image but to a lesser extent (In the previous version, the transmission was practically stable at all times).
-occasional slowness in the operating system, from what I see the system moves without difficulty with this device, but sometimes it loses that performance, so I think that optimization in the call of the processes would be lacking to improve its performance.
-The vibrate of the device responds late and this happens on several occasions and can become somewhat annoying .
-There are occasional leaks in the ram memory, generating performance problems and forcing the device to restart.
-Occasional audio cuts when using the microphone of the bluetooth headphones (as an alternative solution when this happens, it is to restart the device with a charge greater than 30%).
-When pressing from the notification bar in do not disturb mode, the device sometimes loses its performance completely, having to restart the device, a somewhat strange error, which did not usually occur in previous versions of LinegeOS.
=======What works well======
-There has been an improvement of approximately 7% in the audio recording by microphone with the WhatsApp application compared to the previous version.
-Good operation of the sound in the speakers of the device with this version of android.
-Despite the drop in performance that the device sometimes suffers, the connection to the bluetooth headset is approximately 5% faster.
-Image effects in all apps are well done and look great on the device .
-The calls are quite stable, I have even improved the recovery of the signal in areas of poor coverage .
-In general the performance of the system is quite good to be the first compilation of this new version.
-Everything else is working correctly so far (I haven't tried all the features of the new android version yet).
I have to congratulate again @theimpulson, @npjohnson for their great effort to bring a new version of android for this Nokia 6.1 device

Does that mean that in order to try out this rom I have to be on LOS18.1?
Because I'm on stock oreo and it feels awkward to install LOS18.1 then LOS19.1.

you can't fast boot boot, you need to flash it and boot to recovery.

What are the steps to install this custom if currently on another custom rom. Plz in detail.

same as from stock - see the wiki install guide.

I successfully flashed the lineage os and it was a stable experience and was great. But to update the rom do i need to manually adb sideload or it will be automatically updated through updater.

Oh ok thanks.
By the way I was wondering can I use that new iOS-to-Android whatsapp transfer feature?
You can read more about it here but basically it allows you to connect an iphone via a usbc-lightning cable and transfers all whatsapp data to the android phone.
It should be present in an android 12 rom but I'm worried that since the rom has no otg support I wouldn't be able to use it so any idea about this?
Thank you in advance and pardon me if my questions don't relate much to the purpose of this thread.

And another piece of info you might find useful, back in the day when I was on the official LOS17.1 (Android 10) that you guys made, I was able to use the otg even though it wasn't supported.
I would first plug in my otg usb (and the phone wouldn't recognize it) and then power off the phone, then unplug the otg and turn my phone on, and when it's done powering on I put the otg back into my phone and it would recognize it normally.
I didn't have any external kernels or twrp or anything back then, just the official los with magisk.
And the trick used to work almost always (about 95% of the time or more) but I don't know which step of it is the important one as there may be steps I did that were unnecessary.
I hope this can help.

======New bug and performance report=======
-The transmission of content over Wi-Fi has unfortunately lost performance compared to the previous version, an approximate loss of 17 to 28% , sound cuts are persistent and this also affects the image but to a lesser extent (In the previous version, the transmission was practically stable at all times).
-occasional slowness in the operating system, from what I see the system moves without difficulty with this device, but sometimes it loses that performance, so I think that optimization in the call of the processes would be lacking to improve its performance.
-The vibrate of the device responds late and this happens on several occasions and can become somewhat annoying .
-There are occasional leaks in the ram memory, generating performance problems and forcing the device to restart.
-Occasional audio cuts when using the microphone of the bluetooth headphones (as an alternative solution when this happens, it is to restart the device with a charge greater than 30%).
-When pressing from the notification bar in do not disturb mode, the device sometimes loses its performance completely, having to restart the device, a somewhat strange error, which did not usually occur in previous versions of LinegeOS.

It is only an approximate, I am guided by the performance that I have experienced in the previous version of android, but it is only an approximate.
but as I mentioned being the first build of this new version, the overall performance is excellent and @npjohnson I have to congratulate him for his hard work and dedication for making the decision to keep bringing this device to life .

Thank you very much for your work! I'm eager to test it
What isn't clear to me from the instructions: Is it necessary to first sideload the 19.1 recovery image or is the 18.1 recovery sufficient?

[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][9.0][chagallwifi] LineageOS 16.0

Hello everyone,
As Android 10 and above seem to be a bit sluggish for this device, I decided to make an Android 9 LineageOS 16.0 build for my soon 9 year old SM-T800 tablet. It seems to be much smoother and stable then Android 10 and even while doing heavy web browsing, watching YouTube in 1080p or using Google Maps navigation in satellite mode, nothing crashed for me. The only issue I found is that the tablet gets a bit hot when actively using it. To sorta mitigate the issue, I recommend rooting the device, installing a kernel manager and limiting the CPU frequency to 1700MHz (where default is 1900MHz). The ROM itself has been very stable to use, only camera video recording and fingerprint scanner are not working as of now.
What works?
Boot
Wi-Fi
Bluetooth
Front and back cameras (photos only)
Video playback
Audio
Sensors
Flash
GPS
Microphone
What doesn't work?
Video recording in camera
Fingerprint scanner
Bluetooth is randomly hanging up when connecting peripherals
Offline charging
You tell me the rest
This build is SELinux Permissive!
Flashing instructions (clean flash):
Ensure you're on the latest Marshmallow firmware for your tablet
Use LATEST OFFICIAL TWRP, or LineageOS recovery (attached with the ROM)
Wipe Data and System partitions from recovery
Flash ROM zip from internal storage, SD Card, USB OTG or ADB sideload
Flash GApps (optional, my recommendation is OpenGApps 9.0 arm pico or nano)
Flash Magisk (optional)
Reboot and voila!
Otherwise, this ROM is good for users who wants better smoothness and stability and doesn't want to downgrade all the way down to Android 7.1.
If anyone wants a build for a model different than chagallwifi, tag me and I can try to build (You'll have to test it yourself!).

For cpu temperatures/speed limits,
Which cpu govenor in the kernel did you use?
You could build a version with the kernel limiting to 1700Mhz so people need to mess around with root.
I recommend upgrading the thermal pads inside the tablet as well

The current governor I used is schedutil, I'll try setting it to interactive and limiting the CPU frequency next build

I currently can't find the cause of the sensor not working. It reaches the fingerprint setup successfully, but holding or sliding my finger on the home button doesn't seem to do anything.

Hi Just a quick question.. my understanding is that android 9 does not support dark mode, that your screenshot almost seem to suggest that it does.
my reason for asking is that I am visually impaired, and really can't read anything on a white background. anyway just wanted clarification before I try out this rom.
Cheers

Hi! Android 9 has a partial dark mode. The built in system apps as well as the system UI is dark, but third party apps do not support this dark theme and are light by the default. Many third party apps can be manually set to dark theme.

thanks, I think I'll give it a crack, i'm using the latest Lineage 20 build from another thread and to be honest it's super buggy lol. If this doesn't work out I can always go back to the 17.1 build which was actually pretty stable, but as you point out it's a bit on the sluggish side. Cheers

Or you might try unofficial LineageOS 18.1 (A11) which perfectly supports dark theme. I'm running it on my SM-T805 without any problems.

The problem I found with A10+ ROMs is that some slightly graphics heavier apps or even Google Maps in the browser can crash itself or even lock up the tablet completely.

For those graphics apps I can't tell. But Google Maps I use a lot and it's absolutely stable.

The app itself works fine, but the Google Maps website will likely crash when it's opened in a browser when starting to navigate around the map. And there are many other websites that do crash the browser as well.

Watching youtube works fine, as that's all i do with this tablet now, other than checking my email. Setting up the e-mail did freeze the tablet a couple of times

hello,
So I tried out this rom and wanted to report back my findings.
I found it to be both stable and fast, but there were a few issues, which has led me back to 17.1 LuisROM which given my particular needs really does seem to be the best option. I have actually tried both18 and 20, but neither of them are as stable as17.1, at least based on the particular set of apps I use.
Anyway, the issues I had were:
1) the partial dark mode support was certainly not bad, but given the fact that apps don't follow the system theme, and I could find no way of setting the Google app to dark mode, it was less than ideal. this is no fault of the build at all It's just a limitation of being Android 9, and I imagine for most people it would not be an issue nor a reason not to use this ROM
2) I had a weird issue when I shut the tablet down and plugged it in to power source. The battery icon showed and and then the tablet froze up, so that if I disconnected it from the power source the battery icon still continued to display and the only way to boot it back up was to press and hold the home key, volume down and power. this would seem to suggest there is an issue with the Kernal/ boot loader.
3) I have the official Samsung case with built-in keyboard, but there appeared to be a problem with bluetooth and I simply could not get it to connect. this was the deciding factor like to go back to 17.1

Hello, I'm sorry for the issues you experienced with the ROM. I checked both of the issues and the offline charging issue seems to be there for me too. As you mentioned, it might be related to kernel, but I sadly can't find the actual cause of it as I'm still pretty new new to the world of Android development and I'm still learning how everything works. The Bluetooth issue is something I have now experienced as well. I tried connecting a pair of BT earbuds and they seem to be stuck at connecting at the Bluetooth page in settings. For now I'll update the known issues with those two bugs and maybe one day I'll find out what causes them. And by the way, since you now installed Android 10 on your tablet, how is it for browsing sites? Do sites crash often? Since this is the main thing I use the tablet for (and occasionally watching YouTube and navigation in the car).

Hey there,
I wouldn't exactly call myself a power user, but I have not suffered a single website crash on the particular build I am using, Which I believe was created by a very knowledge Developer last year. It might be worth noting that I use Samsung Internet browser, Which in my opinion offers by far the best overall experience, Including a flawless dark mode option that seems to work for every website.
One thing I will mention about the spilled is that the developer seems to have gone AWOL and the download link to his builds no longer works. That said, I have a copy of the build on my google drive, download link SM-T800 Lineage 17.1
Give it a spin and see what you think, Overall I'm very happy with its stability and performance. Because of my visual impairment I mostly use audio based apps, such as Google Podcast, Audible, Poweranp Pro, But I also occasionally use Newpipe and VLC player and again, have not had any issues.
PS Good on you for creating your own build, I almost considered trying to do it myself but it's just too much to take on considering I can hardly see the screen lol
