You mean my Zen phone back touch button?

Yes.
Most probably it's flip cover magnet location issue.

Nope. About 36hrs. But that's fine. My zenfone 6 is okay. Except for notifications lighting...everything just blinks red...

How are you getting one? Flying to TW?

Just received today but will not flash ww fw yet. Will explore the Hami apps.

Need to have Taiwan credit card and delivery address.

Someone with the above helped but took more than 2 weeks to arrive.

Darn.... was thinking how to get a 32GB set from TW as well.....
Well enjoy your new device and share how the TW set differs from local version.

Initial feel is that Camera of this TW 2GHz is much snappier than the 1.6GHz.

UI seems similar.

by the way it's a CHT SKU so not sure if can change WW SKU FW.

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
taraaa check your build number[/QUOTE]

Once u have converted to WW edition, just need to download WW firmware for future updates. Don't need to rename.

I think I will keep the current TW-CHT FW cos its 1.15.40.35 which is newer than the WW FW which is at 1.14.40.50

Just disabled/uninstall the other apps and its the same.
