Thread under construction​

Thanks, I will be watching this thread.
I am thinking about getting the 3GB ROM version for 'future proofing' but wondering about support for it and if there is a way to get other ROM's for it, like Lollipop.
I've also read that the ZP998 suffered from GPS issues.

Hi,
Sorry but at this time i do not have the original firmware...

Does anyone have this phone yet and what do you think about it? I'm interested in the GPS quality and the Camera- is the GPS still losing signal as with the ZP998? I read that this model uses the new MTK 6595M chip with the big.LIttle arc and am wondering if it's faster than the MTK 6592 octa with 1.7

I'm wqiting for 999 in next 2 weeks (I hope). My 998 was obviously a very good phone, except GPS, that's why I decided to go to 999, hoping that ZOPO will take experience of 998 and correct all bugs from 998. If YES, 999, will be an ideal phone (4G / 2 SIMs / SDCARD/...). let's wait for it. As soon as I will have it, I will post my opinion...

Thanks I'll be looking forward to your review. I'm about to uprgrade from a SGS2 and can't decide between 998 and 999. Read the entire thread on the 998 and the GPS and audio in the headphones seem to be the only problems. If the 999 still has them( I hope not) then I'll
probably go with the 998, but let's hope that the folks from ZOPO have corrected their mistakes with the Lion heart

I also have this phone on order, and will hopefully receive it in the next week or two.
There is a YouTube video demonstrating the GPS which looks quite promising.
This is my first Chinese phone (currently the orig Samsung Galaxy Note ). I was interested in the MTK6595 chip, and as you've said, it ticks all the boxes for things like SD card, dual SIM, removable battery etc.
Will post impressions/video if anyone is interested.

I hope so I bought two Phones the mail order said the packet goes out on 19 november!!

So, Zopo have announced a different model called the Zopo 3X. It seems to be identical to the ZP999, except for having 16Gb storage rather than 32gb. Also, the price is $299 rather than $399.
This seems a very big price difference if the only difference is the storage. I'm a bit annoyed, as I would have gone for the 3X if I had known about it a couple of weeks earlier.
Has anyone else heard anything about this? Is the only difference really the storage? If the ZP999 had some other advantage - e.g. better battery, screen, or used the MTK6595 (not M) then I'd be ok with the price difference.

[GENERAL HELP] Post Your Questions Here Instead of Making a New Thread

Many people are joining xda on daily basis. Some of them join the forum to get custom ROMs while some join in order to get some of their problem that they are facing with their phones solved.
There are dedicated threads for ROMs but what about HELP/QUESTIONS??
People generally straight away start a new thread to get their doubts solved. But this can lead to chaos in the forum.
I'm creating this thread as an alternative to *New Threads* that aim to resolve a question.
Not only this, this thread can also become a Database kind of place where people can look if their question is already solved or not...
I request all members of the ASUS ZENFONE 2 sub-forum to help and answer some questions posted here if they can.
I hope you guys get the idea behind this thread...

From where you got the info about the prices? Or is just a guess? I also think that the high specs version would have the price of 299.
Anyone knows how are these processors with the battery life.?

To my understanding atom processors are nowhere near the performance of current generation ARM.. Has anything changed? Is this cpu comparable to anything released in the last year?

Benchmarks report the higher end one in zenphone 2 is comparable to snap Dragon 805. Not sure about battery efficiency.

In terms of real world performance, the Intel CPUs are very satisfying. I have a very old CloverTrail CPU in my Venue 8 tablet, and it feels just as snappy as the Snapdragon 800 in my phone, even though the 800 blows it away in benchmarks.
The big question is how is the ROM and dev support going to be for this phone.

That's good to hear! I'm excited about this phone assuming 1) unlocked bootloader + source release and 2) Dev support

So since I am new here and found this thread I had to ask..
I am intrigued by the Zenfone 2 but I like the Oneplus One as well..
I am an iOS user (got really tired of it.. ) and I am going to switch to Android.
The advice I've been given is to search if there are going to be custom ROMs and support before buying a phone!
Is there a reason to wait for the Zenfone 2 over the Oneplus One?
(Planning on using a custom ROM so it will have "pure" android (propably CM, dunno still searching) )
Thnx in advance

Considering the specs on the ZenFone 2 are basically the same as all these 7-10" Windows tablets, how long before you think before we see full Windows 8.1/10 on the ZenFone 2?

Having owned the OnePlus One and a Note 3 with CM11, they are both very nice. I have a good feeling about the ZenFone 2 though. More "open" hardware. You may also look at the Lenovo P90 (much bigger battery). The #1 advantage of the ZF2 or the P90 is that they both run 64bit processors, so they are ready for 64bit Android.

Is the Zenfone2 gonna work on Verizon Network?

With the 720p model, it'll be a 5 inch phone, right?

Go for ASUS you wont regret it!
If the price is acceptable,this one definitely will be a hot item.Asus is very committed in costumer satisfaction.their is extremely fast in software upgrading. Asus strategies in marketing have fortunes both side.for example,after zenfone 5 Lte out with kitkat ,month later(l believed its take a month just because its had a different cpu vendor) all previous Zenfone series also received same upgrading and all leftover stock in market becomes high demanded until need to refill. Now zenfone 5 is conquer over 4 Asean country and the funny things is I,the early owner of zenfone 5 still use jb because its alredy bugless in last jb version(finally usb OTG support) .In my country,zenfone 5 is one of hot items and now I'm very proud to shows off my fone to my friends cause its so popular. Now zenfone its definitely on theirs list.Thank you Asus for my dignity

WHAT about GPL compliance of ASUS.... was there any word about device tree and source code???
how did xda opened a thread for zenfone 2????

Hello everyone
I intend to buy a new phone but with dual card. I wanted to buy Xiaomi MI Note, but the cost is huge so I gave up. I stumbled upon a phone AusuZenfon2. As I watched some clips on YT seems that his camera much good. In Xioamia Mi Note camera is even better than the iPhone 6 Plus. I hope and Zenfonu 2 will be good camera.
What interests me is:
1. How satisfied are you with you thus far zenfonom users in general?
2. Procesor which is located in the Zenfone2 (64-bit Intel Atom 3560/3580 Quad Core Processor (Running at 1.8 / 2.3GHz) PowerVR Series 6 - G6430, with OpenGL 3.0 support), so I interesujeu which rank this processor in compared to the Snapdragon family? 800, 801 or maybe 805?
3. Does really feature HDR blacklight gives such good pictures in low light or is just marketing trick?
4. Will it will be 4K recording and slowmotion 240fps in zenfonu 2?
5. Zenfone 2 will have two models, one of 2GB and the other 4GB Ram. Is the difference only in RAM or a even a change?
Advance very grateful
PS I see the comments someone goes dead motherboard. How is this happening? And if this is a common problem with this phone?
P.S2 .. I looked at photos Zenfon 5 :crying:and unfortunately photos are bad phone that I now have a Xioami Mi3 and captures a lot of good pictures. Will Zenfone 2 have a better camera than Zenfona 5?

Unfortunately not. Verizon works on CDMA network which is not supported by Zenfone 2 and is not supported by a lot of other phones. Verizon also uses LTE network and it is currently the broader LTE network in the USA. You can check the coverage here: http://www.verizonwireless.com/. The Verizon LTE network bands will be supported by some models of Zenfone 2. You could theoretically use Zenfone 2 on Verizon, but then you have to use voip instead of standard calling and depend fully on the LTE in general.

Nobody uses the Zenfone 2 because it's not on the market yet. I have Asus tablet based on (an older) Intel SoC and I'll try to answer to your questions on the base of that experience:
1. I'm really satisfied with the tablet. It is fast, stable and modest in energy consumption.
2. Intel 3580 is generally considered better SoC than any of Snapdragons you mentioned and has better Antutu Results. Besides only the newest of Snapdragons 805 (and 810) is 64-bit, but both are 28nm, so they are likely less energy efficiently than Intel Atom 3560/3580, which are 22nm thick.
3. It's not a market trick. You can get live tests of camera performance.
4. yes.
5. It's not known yet, but I assume that Asus plans to offer entry level model with Intel 3560, 2GB RAM and lower resolution and high end with Intel 3580, 4GB RAM and higher resolution. Starting price for the first model is supposed to be $199 and for the second one $299. Additional ROM will probably increase the price. And there are still modifications which are not sorted out yet regarding LTE antennas regarding selling territory and 5 inch model which is currently still a big mystery.

Wakelock / Deep Sleep Bug HT3 PRO
Hi there
Just received my Homtom HT3 PRO and found out that this device has the same battery wakelock bug as the HT7 PRO.
Once the LED goes on, the deivce would never go into deep sleep mode.
I could disable the LED notifivation with the "Notification Light Widget" from Chris Tattersall on Playstore.
Checking the state time with CPU Spy v0.4.0, shows that the deep sleep time is now much higher and the battery life is now acceptable therefore.
However once the device is connected to the charger, the LED goes on again - the deep sleep mode would not be activated until the device will be rebooted.
Official HomTom Support answer is that they working on a update (25 July 2016).
Did someone have a better solution or found a way to solve it by custom ROM?

I apologize to the moderators for the external link.
http://www.needrom.com/category/doogee/homtom/t3-pro/

There is only one solution that worked for me....root it and delete all unnecesary bloatware that comes with factory ROM,install Xposed framework then some nice and helpfull modules as XGEL,GravityBox,Amplify etc....i warmly recommend to follow that link Cleopatra provided since here is no support for our phone in any form.

3G+32G has the most performance/price ratio, IMO

Yes..with hybrid slot usage, we are good to expand the memory as well. And 3gb is very good for multitasking..even if i open all the alllowed apps at thr same time, i still have 1+ gb free memory...on boot it gives 1.9-2 gb free and with some consumption, it goes upto 1.2-1.3 gb free memory.

Today arrived mine and there is NFC

That's interesting finding. Looks like EU version is different what HUAWEI sold in China.

Specsheets from a hardware info app.
Maybe some additional useful info. Seems to list more sensors.
Use a html viewer.

Will it be Dual Sim compatible ?
Or like Honor 7 and 8 they will remove the Dual SIM compatibility for India ??

Seems hybrid but lets wait for the Indian version.

And does it have infrared? The EU version I mean. Thnks.

Here is a nfc screenshot

And a giro test screenshot

And a phone info screen

And no infrared.............. :victory:

But camera 2 api (manual camera) compatible

And these are all the sensors

Thanks a lot !!!
I will be disappointed if the North america version doesn't have gyro or nfc but EU does.... Otherwise I'm liking this phone

For me NFC isn't essential at all but i must admite that this phone has awesome specs for is price. Huawei is doing this the right way

Motorolla G 5G Plus Updates and Support Questions

hello .. i am really interested with this phone as its currently on sale for 375USD ~ 1399 SAR (including VAT 15% and fees) wherr i am right now ( Moto G 5G Plus 128GB 8GB ram ) and i have some questions regarding this phone :
as i have been using android since 2010 ( Samsung S2 - Samsung Note - Samsung Note 2 - Innjoo - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 - LG V20 - Poco F1 - Mi Max 3 - Mi Max 2 ) i would like to know about these particular points :
1. how does Motorola deliver software updates compared to Xiaomi, Samsung and LG for example ,,, Xiaomi for getting the most out of it with 3 to 4 security and bugs updates and a big android version change annually While LG might get the one or two update to security patches only with no android version update ????
This is still not answered, we received the September 2020 patch on android 10 for now RETMEA channel .... phone code name is nairo
2. Screen on time Expectations; and let me know if this is single or dual 5g / 4g standby mode .. this is important because it heavily affects the standby time ...
Can this phone use both sims and sd card with an adapter ? i would love to know if any of you have tried that
Answer : dual 4g standby and 4g+/5g on the active data sim when it supports it , hybrid adapter works and getting about a day and a half of life with this phone now ... Still on my second cycle and so far i am getting about 8 hrs sot
Update : battery usage is getting better ... 1.5 days of backup with 9 hrs SOT
3. is this phone easily rooted like requesting the unlock and then using a recovery from fastboot with magisk flash ? or its hard like doing LG v20 wizardry and dirty cow exploits with terminals and flashing ? ( i did both ways before on my older phones but i am just getting the sense of this phone
Answer : its not easily rooted due to lack of developers support and rooting will void all warranty which is absurd, plus you get an intrusive badge on your phone once you unlocked boot loader ... Xiaomi is far better in that case because you can re-lock it and the unlocked sign is not like a nuclear disaster sign .. this remind me of samsung and LG which is not appropriate
Rooted by patching the boot.img file with magisk app inside the phone then flashing it from fast boot, its a manual thing and the TWRP recovery is not working well on this Variant so far so you cannot rely on it (cannot access internal storage or sd card while it request codes or passwords)
4. how does this phone compare to the poco x3 nfc ? in terms of daily usage and smoothness ? is the internal memory fast like UFS ?
Answer : it is faster than poco x3 ... 276k poco vs 309k Antutu v8.4.3 ... Ufs 2.1 as gsm arena mentioned
5. does this phone support USB on the go function ? Are the ringer and notification volumes separable in the software ?
Answer : usb otg and charging other devices is supported, ringer and notification volumes cannot be separated (big bummer)? in settings but i am trying Volume Butler for now and so far i can say it sometimes work and sometimes not due to the fact i am using "island" which has applied a personal and a work profile inside the phone
6. does the phone speaker sound pack some bass like the lg v20 for example ? or its tinny like the poco F1 ?
Answer : closer to poco f1 less bass mono speaker, but its loud enough for media consumption for me atleast
7. will motorola support this phone even further with newer features like stereo speakers like what happened for the mi max 2 as an example ? or we will probably rely on other developers for a magisk module ?
Answer not clear yet
8. best cases for this phone ( links on amazon or aliexpress are appreciated if mods approve )
i bought lots of them from aliexpress and i am trying them now ... so far i like this one
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001600406047.html
for stickers i went installing the Hydrogel one yesterday and with the cover the whole phone experience went from ( a very slim phone that i am afraid to crush and break ) to ( this is a good phone that can deal with my daily usage )
9. the device has no notification LED and instead you get a pesky feature called ( display peek ) that keeps the phone turning the screen on for each move and vibration , plus the notifications cannot be seen if you have the hide notification mode on .... simply a bummer for a person who just wants to double tap to wake and unlock only as this called feature consume lots of battery for nothing ! ... motorola if you can see this please fix it
these are some of the detailed issues that i would like keep exploring solutions for as i am very eager to see your answer

Update : added some answers from my experience as i got the phone on 26-10-2020
No notification led light and the phone keeps lighting up the screen if you use moto gestures which is a pain .. already disabled
Google assistant button is useless
No double tap to wake
Nord VPN app notworking properly cannot login or use the vpn (Updated app now works fine)... Other vpn provider ultrasurf worked fine
No full screen recorder
21:9 screen is very long and only well suited for portrait use
Phone got security patch update September 2020

moto g 5g plus varient specs and antutu score
Some screen shots showing the current device specs and antutu score

I have had it for 2 weeks now, feels quite sluggish especially when switching apps but this is the 4gb ram version. Is the 8gb ram one any better?
This is an android one device which Google says should receive os updates for 2 years (android 11 and 12) and security updates for 3 but no word on the moto g 5g plus specifically

Glad to hear that it will be supported for 2 more years
Ram usage here is higher than 4gb everyday so yeah its smooth and working well so far ... Can you do the antutu on your varient and check the score to compare ?
Ps : dont forget to turn on adaptive performance it really makes it smoother after a couple of days depending on your usage

thanks
thanks for the advice about adaptive performance, i have turned that on and the difference is significant. i do have my reservations about downloading antutu, just because of all the stuff cheetah mobile has been accused of, but i have done some geekbench tests which I screenshotted but I don't knkow how to upload them here,
so the multi core scores averaged at 1838 and
the single threaded at 592 after running 3 tests

Hi ludio22,
I'm going to buy the 4gb version too. How is it going after these two months? Is 4gb really a limit for everyday use?

The phone can be rooted very easily, with the standard Magisk procedure.
