Official ASUS PadFone S Thread

Try to slide the sim all the way in, until you hear or feel it click. It actually locks into place like the micro SD. I also thought the sim can't be detected because I was afraid to slide the sim all the way. Later I realized there's a mechanism that locks the sim card inside.

Tried it. read the manual and followed it also.
Tried with 2 microsim and one nanosim.
Really disappointed.unboxed it last night and send it to repair center at today 11+ am.
Hopefully they don't charge me or somehow deem that i spoiled the sim card slot...

Charging is actually pretty quick in the wireless charger, I got from 40% to 99% in about 1.5 hours. For some reason, charging wirelessly only goes up to 99%. I had it in the charger for 2 hours more but it never went up to 100%. I had to connect to the micro usb charger before it charged up to 100%. Could it be a bug? or a built in feature to prevent overcharging?

I read from the xda forum that the charging should show a constant yellow light.
Blinking light seems to indicate some error. My charger blinks when I place my phone in the dock. Perhaps mine has the bug so it doesn't charge fully to 100%.

Anyway, charging up to 99% is still fine. I still get good battery life out from my phone.

Ok. Looks like you got a bad unit. Hope they fix it soon.

My wireless dock have been working well. Tried for quite awhile the other day after increasing the height of the backplate. Thanks for the heads up to increase the height.

Is your dock able to charge your phone up to 100%? Mine always stop charging at 99% (orange light doesn't change to green).

 

[slashiroth]

Nope it doesn't charge up to 100% too.

I been using the phone for two weeks...So far so good..no auto reboot issue...battery life much better than my previous samsung

 

[mikeymesina]

No problems for mine as well. Maybe an app you downloaded is causing the reboot?

 

[slashiroth]

It is happening on my gf's unit. Not much app downloaded. We have almost about the same apps. I did a factory reset but phone still randomly reboots. Did a Google and found out that some other users overseas are experiencing this with their ZenFone.
Thanks a lot anyway.

Maybe send to service centre for them to troubleshoot, while you still have warranty?

Yeap, will get her to bring down for them to troubleshoot to see what the problem is.

 

[Skyeagle]

How's the battery life for this phone?

 

[slashiroth]

I brought the phone to service centre. Was told they will send the phone back for one week and I need to pay $30 for it. Has anyone who been to the service centre for their phone problem been asked to pay?

 

[slashiroth]

Updates, apparently the 2 set I bought through from the Asus web store via the CNY sale, one reflects an overseas warranty and another Singapore warranty.

[ah_cleo]

[slashiroth]

Yeah I showed them the invoice on the Asus account. Went to the one at Somerset. Didn't know there was another one handling PadFone S at taiseng. Will probably head down taiseng.
