ASUS Zenfone 2

[hyper_megaman]

Think you can find from ebay or Qoo10.

i found some cheaper ones on lazada

take note of warranty though


anyway i've been looking at this phone (ZE551ML) , how is it serving you guys? I've seen a lot of criticism about battery life, but an overall impression? worth the 300+ - 400?

Would say Yes. Battery life can be better. But either the smart saving option to save battery, I can survive a 830 to 1900 work day with 60%.

what exactly does the smart saving option do?

e.g. will it cause any inconvenience for:-
1. when watching videos off a thumbdrive? will lag?
2. chatting on whatsapp? (i think likely not)
3. browsing a mid-low requirement app like 9gag?

You never use smart saving option for any other brands before? Every brand has their own smart saving utility. Turn on smart saving WHEN you are NOT utilizing the phone intensively.

The battery life of this phone is OKAY... not as fantastic as Z3 but beats LG 4 (least for me). Sometimes all the faults of a particular phone is exaggerated.. just like the 810s, yes... it is hotter but not hot until will boil an egg LOL.

Exactly . I face the same on my car charger. Any ways to resolve?

For those who want to root Asus Zenfone 2 and use latest firmware without wiping user data

0. Your phone dont need latest firmware
1. Install Intel USB driver for Android Devices (this is a new version, recently released): https://software.intel.com/en-us/android/articles/intel-usb-driver-for-android-devices
2. Download the latest ADB and unzip everything from it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/general/tool-updated-adb-version-1-0-32-fastboot-t2932160
3. Download the desired pre-rooted firmware from MEGA: https://mega.co.nz/#F!k4MHiAgL!dVuOKeH3eokcwPSNI79ffw
(the folder you choose should be the same as your firmware on phone.
eg ze550ml international version is z008 ww 2 19 40 23
ze551ml is z00a 2 19 40 22

Download 3 files from the folder: boot.img, recovery.img and system image - the system image is split into multiple files through a .zip archive...so extract it after all the parts are downloaded)

4. Copy the boot.img, recovery.img, system.img into the folder where ADB installed its files.
5. On your PC, go to the ADB folder, hold shift and right mouse button and choose "Open command windows here"
6. Plug your phone to your PC via USB cable
7. Type adb reboot fastboot. Phone will restart in fastboot mode
8. Type fastboot devices . You should see your device afterwards in the command window.
9. Type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
10. Type fastboot flash boot boot.img
11. Type fastboot flash system system.img - This takes 140 seconds. Wait till it's done.
12. Disconnect USB cable. then click on Normal Boot button on phone screen

When phone restarts, you notice all your apps / settings are still intact.

13. If new OTA update appear, dont update, it may cause bootloop, just visit the mega link for latest version again

For those who are not aware, you can install Asus PC link and control your phone via wifi or USB. Any videos or audio you play gets channelled to PC speakers, and powerpoint presentation works too
