ASUS Zenfone 2

[yusoffb01]

Just got the phone today. Tried to check for system updates, but the phone just pops up a dialog showing "checking.." and then closes by itself after a while. Is it supposed to be this way, or is it supposed to show something like "phone is up to date"?

Obviously not supposed to close

seen it sometimes but I assumed the screen was adjusting to current room brightness, from the different level when it was last used.

This is call cabc display tech. Can google it.

is it me or is it that the phone doesnt adjust brightness automatically?
have already set to auto brightness but it seems the same everywhere.

April 2017 lah! By that time, if your zenfone 2 is still in pristine condition or your hand not itchy enough to already have changed to another phone... then you start to worry lah...

That's why I say that it was a bad move by Asus to only have sim2 2G.

Those waiting to get the Asus Zenfone 2 should wait for the Snapdragon version.

M1, Singtel and Starhub will stop all 2G services in Singapore with effect from 1 April 2017.*
This includes all 2G voice, messaging and data services.

I just got my zenfone2 about 1 week ago. My sim card slot1 is faulty(v loose). Any idea if I take to service centre how long will it take for the repair? Or if repair at hp shop roughly how much will it be

call up service certain & ask? Since it's still under warranty, save your $.... go back to Asus service center lah. The one in Somerset service is quite okay.

The person told me service center is in tai seng, that's why lazy to go over. If Somerset will be good. I will check it out, thanks for the advice

Not to be a downer but think the Snapdragon version might not be at this price range. Intel definitely subsidized Asus quite a bit for this series of Zenfone 2.

The one in Tai Seng repairs all sorts of Asus products... the one in Somerset specifically for mobile pdts... Sim card slot loose doesn't seem to be a big problem and since the location is so convenient, just go to the Somerset service center and check it out.

Anyone know whether we will get lollipop 5.1? Or are we stuck with 5.0. Still feel the battery is unpredictable with the charge.

no exact date as of now. Asus personnel did say they are planning for it but didn't state when will be the release. Hopefully soon because the 5.0 have ram drain issue and so do battery.

Now that OnePlus 2 is coming out,

the OnePlus 2 will be using the overheating/super throttled snapdragon 810..
you're probably better off getting a samsung s6 or past generation flagship if you dont want the zenfone

 

[sabanuah]

Had a super good experience with colleagues zf2 4gb ram . Going to buy one soon. Saw one seller with a 64gb set from local telco.

Quite keen but dont know will the lust for asus stays

 

[amelia80]

hi guys,…do u all have this problem, with the phone?

i have this problem, like when i try to make a phone call, it will be totally black screen and no sound, i have to press the power button to hear the other person but during this time, the screen is still totally black.

very very odd. it feels overall very unstable
