Anyone has issues with their keyboard on their ZenFone 5? Lately I have been getting this pop-up message "Unfortunately, Google Keyboard has stopped". Any solutions?

Got it when Google updated the Google Keyboard app. I notice it only happen if the keyboard stays up for somtime.

Anyone tried connecting your Zenfone 5 to TV yet? does it work?

Wanted to try but my tv and laptop dont have Miracast support. Anyone tested on their latest model tv or laptop yet?

using adb sideload to flash the rom btw. to flashing the rom from the sdcard.
first download the rom, extract the zip file u will get "UL-ASUS_T00G-WW-1.14.40.50-user.zip.secure" remane thats zip as "UL-ASUS_T00G-CN-1.14.40.50-user.zip" conect your zen6 to the PC copy paste into root of sdcard. disconecting your phone, u will get notification about system update on your phone. tap on it and follow the instruction from your phone.
if your phone haven't notice the update try to rename the zip with "UL-ASUS_T00G-CN-08.07.2014.65432-user.zip" and copy to your root of sdcard.
still failed?
try using adb sideload to do that, you need to download
1.intel usb driver > to recognize your phone (ADB)
2.adb fastboot tools
3.lastest firmware with WW version

here the step
1. install intel usb driver
2.extract adb fastboot and place where ever directory you want "example D:\ASUS T00G
3.extract the firmware to D:\ASUS T00G u will get UL-ASUS_T00G-CN-1.14.40.50-user.zip.secure remane into update.zip
4.put your phone into recovery mode (shutdown your phone > press vol + and power botton > choice reboot recovery) if you have not the option to reboot recovery (root your phone, install terminal emulator from Playstore, open TE type "su" and then grant the permission. next type reboot recovery and press enter. your phone will shut down and boot into recovery mode)
5.do factory reset and cache if you want lastest choice option "adb sideload" conect your phone with desktop
6.back to desktop, shift + right click on D:\ASUS T00G directory >open comand windows here / double click start.cmd
7.on CMD screen type "adb device" next "adb devices" (u will see your phone conected "1234567890abcdfg sideload"
8.ok here the point, type adb sideload "nameoffirmware.zip"
9.wait until the adb finishing transfer the firmware into your phone, u will see the progress in your desk screen.
10.after that your phone will automatic flash the rom, wait until your phone turning on

THANK YOU !!!!! You are Awesome ! I just rename the file and did it!

 

[tas1020]

Can you report if the link provided by 'sickmailer' works?

Can you try with older fw and see if ota works with v625 ww firmware.

I renamed WW625 with the name of CN626 and it and works OK Thank you very much !

 

[sickmailer]

It is confirmed 3G models of Zenfone 4,5 & 6 can be rooted & one can update CN to WW firmware.

I love Asus but I hate them upgrading the specs of new batches of laptops and phones of same the model. Shortchanging those who got the earlier batches.

Asus is known for its international warranty right?

 

[ah_cleo]

for mobile strictly local warranty only

 

[sickmailer]

Just buy a new local zenfone if so. Anyway imported stuff usually have no warranty.

 

[knightshaz]

When you all decide to purchase electronics overseas, the lack of warranty should already be included during your consideration of the products in the first place anyway.

 

[tas1020]

I also using nillkin flip cover and the s-view function doesn't work as what it advertise I thought is my proximity sensor problem but I tried phone call no issue at all

there is an option at settings -view flip cover- have you activated it? I am using the original ASUS flip cover and it works OK

Considered but does no harm if it can be registered.

Yup, I enable both view flip cover and glove mode also nothing happen when I close the cover, worse of all it won't go to sleep and wake up mode when the flip is either open or close

Even I restart or power down and power up still cannot

 

[AstroB2M]

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.
