Just did ota update, will only feel any difference when I use the phone tmr.

One of the updates is the LED lamp function from the zenview cover, slide up to activate, and press once to deactivate.

After using both zf6 and zf5, i decided that im sticking w my 5 and selling my 6 as the screen is not as crisp as 5. Its a deal-breaker, welk, at least for me. I could totally keep my note 3 dual-sim jus becos its screen is crisp but too bad, not both sim 3G..

Both are 720p but one is stretched to 6 inch, of course there will be some compromise.

Another thing, my zf5 color is very saturated as opposed to other samsung phones. Its very yellowish. Scramble w friends red icons appears yellowish instead of redish, pics after shooting presents no hint of red, but after whatsapping to other phones, can see the red-ness. Anyone having this prob?

Try moving a magnet around the back button of your Zen phone , see if its working
Most probably is the magnet on your flip cover out of position--poor QC.

I have tried but still the same problem

same. in a way its good that its better for your eyes. my temp fix is to use Splendid to change it to "colder" tone and it looks pretty ok now

 

[glorygoh]

Wats Splendid? An app in play store? Cant find it though..

Try with a slightly stonger magnet on your phone, moving the magnet above the"BACK" button area of ZF5 to activate power saver screen mode.
I believed maybe the magnet you tested is too weak just like someone mentioned before.
If another stronger magnet also cannot activate the power saver screen mode then your ZF5 could be defective! Which i doubt so.

It's a pre-installed app in yr phone. Go check yr Apps page.

Ok, I will give it a try again if I manage to get a stronger magnet

i got a question, those who already using the zenfone 5, is the lack of backlight on the home, back and recent buttons a problem?

Cos the first RedMi i find that it is a problem. Sometimes I can't find the buttons... LOL~

 

[knightshaz]

No problems. Once you can accept to live without it.

Not a problem at all.
