Can anyone tell me how to watch flash through website?

There are a few ways, including root, (jailbreak) ..
just do a simple google search / youtube search ...

But if you are non-geek / expert IT ... and want a easy way out ...

I will suggest that you download this app instead
Puffin Web Browser

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cloudmosa.puffin

I have been using this app for a long time and it really works for "FLASH website" , but the downside is that you need to pay for it ...

Bluetooth Connectivity Issue - Any advice?

Do u have problem with Bluetooth tethering? My iPad can't get data despite connected via Bluetooth with my zenfone 5.

Hi Guys,

Not sure if this is affecting my ZF5 only or others are facing the same issue as well.

I can't seem to "syn"/"Link up" my Bluetooth headphone devices to my ZF5.

I have three different BT devices (Creative, Sony, one random american OEM), all cannot BT to my ZF5. These three BT devices can BT to my WP, Nexus 7, no issue. I have "clear the memony" of the BT devices, still cannot.

Surprising ZF5 can BT, or locate my Windows Phone, Nexus Tablet ... just cannot find the BT headphones ...

So this BT issue is really puzzling to me ...

Hope this is just a Asus software issue and the Third Asus update will resolve it ...

Just curious and throwing it out there ... does any ZF5 owners have any issues with BT devices (headphones, headsets)

Cheeers!

Never encountered any BT issue with ZF5 since the first firmware update. It pairs well with my Sony SBH20 and SBH80 BT stereo headsets. Music streaming works along with the full playback and call taking functions.

Maybe Rick's issues is specific to his 1gb ram version?

Just checked with the Telcoms that ZenFone 5 is available in all 3 colors in all M1 and StarHub shops, not sure the stocks status for individual shop though. But then there's no news for Singtel, guessing they might not be bringing in.

Anyone planning to sign a plan or recontract your plan with it?

I have been using Asus zenfone 5 for a week. Facebook version 11 can't run, so downgrade to version 10 then ok. It's battery after full charge can't last a day. It's cover quite difficult to open for those without finger nail. Speed and performance wise is acceptable as I was a iPhone user. It's default browser can't view video or streaming online, I resorted to use Chrome instead. Overall rating 7 / 10.
