Asus P525/P535 "topics" on the forum

Hello There!
Before to start anything, I would like to say that I know that this site has been created to develop HTC devices, and
my idea problably a waste of time.
Over one and a half year I've been a HTC user. In this time I've had a few devices all of them was HTC. I've learned
everything here, and I'm happy to be a part of this great community.
After I sold my last PDA I'm still browsing the topics, and still upgrading roms to my friends, solving problems using this site.
Now I'm planning to buy an Asus PDA, but I'm afraid because Asus doesn't have that much support what HTC have.
I saw that some topics discusses, and helps peoples who have Asus devices.
So my idea is that we should make separate threads for P525, and P535 to discuss and solve problems there.
Once again: I know that this idea is not the best, but it would be easier to find something related to Asus devices, then
searching, browsing the topics, and hey I love this community.
So if you people like my idea please post here, and if we have a lot of people stands for the idea, we should post it to
the mods/admins
I don't think that there are enough threads about ASUSes these days to create their own specific forum. Still, those pda's can be discussed either in general forum or in Off-topic. As far as I'm concerned I would leave things the way they are right now.
As i own both of them, i would like to have a special forum for Asus devices.
This Forum has a lot of Info, and Asus-Threads drown in the mass of others.

its damn hard to fined a good forum like this .
P525=a piece of crap
i am a personal user of a P525 since last October
my p525 had been using Sorg's WM5 build6 for a long time....
the phone had been having all the common problems...shifted screen...bad audio effect...problem battery...slow response...but i figured since everyone's having the same problem...the warranty center won't fix them even if i send them the phone for warranty repair....(besides i live in vancouver...the warranty center is in HK)....
but about last week, it caught me by surprise that people kept asking me why i didn't answer phone calls....
then i checked my p525, it turned out my p525 could make outgoing phone calls with no problem...but when there was incoming calls, my p525 just wouldn't ring or even log or register the incoming call...
the person who phoned my p525 would misunderstand that my phone rang, but i just wouldn't answer.....
since it was the last day of long weekend....and i seemed to have a little bit more free time than usual at my disposal....i decided to flash my p525 rom back the CHT HK rom....
so after i spent a couple of hours to figure out how to flash my p525 rom back to CHT HK, i thought i might as well update the FIRMWARE for the phone part to V4.6XXX, which was also available for download @ the ASUS website.....
it was just an exe file of 1MB or 2 ...
to my absolute amazement, after i updated the Firmware for the phone...my p525 miraculously rings again!!!....
it turns out my problem was at the firmware for the phone part....at some point in time, the p525 incured problem with the firmware without me knowing....
at this point, i didn't know how i felt...
i felt happy....since my problemed p525 was fixed without sending back for warranty.....
on the other hand...i felt angry....i felt i had wasted HK$5K for a piece of unreliable CRAP....
aside from the common problems of shifted screen...bad audio effect....problemed battery....
i have to reset the phone once a week (ironically ...it has become a routine)...
and i used to have to reflash the rom once 1 month...untill i found sorg's cooked rom...(Thanx, Sorg)...
now this!!!....although i fixed it myself...but it really cost me a lot of time and energy, which i could have spent otherwise....(not to mention the embarrassment of apologizing to people for not having been able to answer the phone)....
more over....as my warranty is getting closer to expiry....i am feeling less and less confident about my p525....
i have second thoughts about whether i should now send my p525 for warranty repair anyway...even just for the common problems or the routine reset ....before the warranty expires.....(my main frustration: reliability)
what do u think?
Whoa, that was hard, i think.
I own a P525 also, and it was my first PDA, after throwing away my Siemens mobile.
The only Problem i have is the Battery drain. It lasts max. 2 days with BT on, mostly in sleep. My Siemens makes 10 days with BT on and without recharging.
All other Problems you mentioned do not appear on mine....
I would like to do an own ROM like sorg, but i have a german device and so it is necessary to do all the changes myself.
But i can not find any Info how Sorg has modified his ROM.
But this is fo comfort only, in normal day use it pretty much does what is expected...
(For those who would ask: I have bought an 525 a few months ago and won the 535 in june. Now i use the 525, which i like more for its Phone-Look, except when in unknown area, where GPS is important )
pillowsun

Opinion & stuff

Hey everybody,
New user here, I'm on the forum for about 3 day now and i reached page 40 on aplications and themes, i have to say there are some cool stuff your posting here.
I'm also a new user of WM with the HD as my starter's kit (yah I like to complicate my life) and I reached the conclusion..it's windows! it's suposed to be lagqy, get stuck and have al sorts of annoying problems to be fix. I was bumed out for a couple of weeks thinking I should have pick the I-phone but when I saw the commercial for I-phoneS (WOW look what does it DOOOO, IT RECORDS VIDEOS WOW!!!!! IT COPY-PASTE's WOOWW!!! ) I changed my mind, and realized that the HD kicks I-Ps's Ass any time . I'm still not happy about the laggy-nes, as I read in some posts if I flush the ROM and get another one it can get even 20 times faster...is it true? Cuz I was looking at Laurentius26's L26_THD V3.55_WWE_Ultimate [Full Rhodium] and I dont know what to do, if i flush the stock OS do i lose my waranty?
Also it took some time to undestand that manila stuff and why some theme work and some dont(or i think i understand), on my device I have manila 2.0(i think ). Oh, I found one time on another site(cant remember witch one) a theme that i liked very much but for HTC TOUCH, it was called Scrap Paper, does anyone have it for HD or know what I'm talking about.
Oh, and I remember, for a 900$ phone (as it is in my country), they didn't finde a small spot for a flash?! And the headphones are very miserable and low buget (my opinion)! Very desapointed about these 2 things!!! wow I shure wrote a lot, hope you can help me with the rom flashing and the scrap paper theme....sorry if i borde you ..won't happen again
hey there.im also quite new to this forum and this is also my first time using wm.ive had my HD for around four months now.its hard for a newbie to find things anyway it was for me.if ur wondering about fashing check out flashing for dummies in rom development http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377 it helped me.and yea u must be prepared to read a lot cos most problems are not new and some one has posted it some where.and if im not wrong the best way is to use the search
10x 4 the tip Sliv
As stated before most issues have been posted before so as long as you search you should be alright. Otherwise PM me and I'll steer you in right direction. Link provided above by sliv for the 'Dummies guide to flashing' is where you shoud post any further queries in flashing.
Try and keep each forum on topic, i.e. this forum is just for themes, applications and software. Any queries on ROM development or rom specific questions/amswers should be posted/found here. If you have a cooked rom on your device you do void warranty, but stock rom can always be flashed back. I suggest you read though thread link provided and the wiki for further info.
Just did a quick search for theme 'scrap paper' and got no results, so not sure its available. However if you ask someone politely who creates themes (lots of theme threads around) they may surprise you and make it . Obviously this depends on who you ask and how nice you ask them...LOL
Hope all this helps

do you mean Zitouns Paper theme ?

[Q]Display question

Hey,sorry for making a new topic just for one question but in the existing one nobody is posting anymore,i've recently bought
a galaxy nexus and when i was looking through the settings i noticed a strange texture coming from the right part but the weird thing
is that this seems to be the only problem,i've seen that other people seem to have similar issues but some say it is a common problem for
this type of pentile display,i started checking the main topic about what's right and what not-nexus screens and i couldn't find any other
problems,it's not bothering me or something but i just wanted to be sure it is normal.
The Pictures yu have posted are not giving a proper meaning of your "Strange Texture" to me at least.
I would recommend you post the Screen Shots instead....

Development

I have noticed that at least 2 developers have stopped or postponed development on the ZL.I see that the rooting, and installation of a recovery is much more challenging than for example the S4 or HTC One. I do not see many roms out for the ZL os opposed to the S4 and HTC One. My concerns are that this is not a phone that is going to receive the same attention from Developers as others. I just got the ZL a few days ago and really like the phone itself, but am concerned with the lack of or less development. Does anyone know the reason why?
It took the ZL a while to have any significant amount of development. Bear in mind that the Z1 is very recent and will be several weeks before it is available everywhere. Had to buy mine from Clove because it is going to be at least another month until the US starts to see them.
Since I started developing Android apps at work (been a C# dev for 10 years but novice to Android and Java) I got my own builds of Cyanogen working last week (for the ZL).
Sony does a great job in providing resources for developers. However, it is way less time consuming to develop apps than deal with ROMs... That may explain why you don't see more people doing it ... Some don't want or can invest the time.
Personally, I am happy with the Sony ROMs and would not benefit much for custom. In fact my tablet Z has been stock since day 1. If I was using a bloated Samsung or HTC... Well...

Shame on you oneplus reviewers!!!

To all you oneplus 3 reviewers out there will you bother to address the bugs and issues being faced by us all the buyers of Oneplus 3 in your videos and articles???
Most of us people are facing multiple issues on our oneplus 3 devices and you reviewers did not mention anything about them.. many of us bought this device after watching your reviews!!!
Numerous Examples of issues can be found on xda forums and Oneplus official forums.

I can paste another hundred links to this list
To add to the misery of some who purchased the phone, the oneplus team is not even bothering and responding if they will be providing a fix to all those issues and bugs being faced on their device
I need all of you to raise your concerns and ask the reviewers to include these issues in their reviews by updating them and forcing oneplus team to fix these issues as soon as possible.

Corrected
A list of mostly minor ROM problems.
Sit down and wait for updates.
How many bugs did S7 have when it was released?
How many bugs did iPhone 6SE/iOS 9 have when it was released?
When was the last time you wrote to Samsung/Apple support and they confirmed anything about fixing a problem you were having?
*******
Why post the same rant in 2 different sections?
Thread reported.
Honestly either have people really bad luck or am i having good luck. Have never experienced any problems with the phone. Its a beast! Love it from the start!
No problems with mine
@gruntyoldbag Great point. I've had way more issues with big brand phones than I have with either the OPO or the OP3.
@Suuugen I must have good luck too. No issues to report on my device at all.
As far as issues go, not every phone is going to perform well. This is why the manufacturers offer RMAs because they know a certain percentage of phones are going to have issues related to hardware/software. Every phone has issues like this, it's not just OnePlus devices.
I would have to say this is a rant myself and thread should be closed. I don't think I have ever bought a phone without doing proper research on my own, and bought based on a review. If I did, if have a sh** ton of phones laying around... LOL.
