Both slots are 3G enabled but at any one time only one sim will be 3G and the other 2G at dual sim standby.

SIM1: 3G SIM2: 2G
SIM1: 2G SIM2: 3G

for the dualsim, is it both also 3G or only 1 of the slot is 3G?

Did anyone encounter on errors on the dual sim zf5, when either 1 of the sim on 3g mode, it will disconnect and reconnect back again?I got this error lots of times already, changed both sim card from telco already still the same.

actually i'll say only 1 SIM will have the data enabled... so effectively i wouldn't say that the other SIM is 2G... since 2G naturally would refer to the data speed..

so both SIMs are 3G enabled... which ever SIM u set as the data carrier will be operating at 3G speeds... no need to physically swap out the card...

Well there is quite a number of zf5 user here which don't encounter such problem. Jump boat might solve the problem but if unlucky either encounter same problem or worse.

ask u...is the zenfone root apk still working to root this phone ?
or it depends on what SW and android version u have ?
i am thinking of getting either this dual sim version or its LTE version.
but very few links about rooting the LTE version.
also saw somewhere got "official" rooting app from Asus !? true or not ?

Just realsied tat i can't send voice msg via WeChat on my ZF5 (non-LTE). Hold the talk button and talk but then it just won't send the msg (no error whatsoever).
BTW, I can record my voice on the phone using other app no problem, so doesn't look like microphone faulty.
Anyone has the same problem?

Last time it was ok. Have not been using wechat for quite a while so it's only recently i realised the problem... strange.
