It will do that when you enter a tunnel or something (and thus the overall ambient light is decreased), Or put your finger on the brightness sensor while the navigation is on (try it) You either have a ROM that has an issue with brightness sensors, Or the brightness sensor on your phone is messed up/Covered up by something.
Tbh i really like the look of the inverted maps xD

I think he means the direction is wrong...
like it faces on the screen the opposite way than you're actually going
You have to allow the compass to recalibrate itself. Go outside, turn on maps with GPS, and wave it around in figure 8s for a while.

A friend have the direction problem with his S-II, Someone have an idea forma a solution? I'm not sure will be related to the compass because it happen only when si in navigation mode, not when he use maps...
Edit: solution found for him, simply removed the battery...
generally i'm using Endomondo Pro for tracking my sports activity (jogging), but with the P6 it seems nearly impossible to get good and correct tracking :crying:
I tried it now several times with several different ROMS and Tools , but the tracked GPS data is really awful...
With my last two smartphones (HTC HD2 , RAZR XT910) the tracking was much much better ...
Does anybody uses this phone also for GPS tracking with better experience (or does this phone have an ****ty GPS :crying: ) ??
When yes please tell me which ROM and which Tools..
thanks in advance ! m

Sorry to tell you this, but i've had the same problems since I bought the phone in August... Tried a lot of ROMs and GPS tools with no luck. Apparently some people's P6 has a perfectly working GPS, but some of us didn't have that luck. No idea where the problem comes from, I wish I knew.
Here a track from my p6. Saved with locus pro and firmware b507. I think it is perfect.

Yes tracking works fine sometimes. The problem is that sometimes you wont get a lock in a one hour run. I have several 0km ~30min bike rides saved with sports tracker along with a larger stack of incomplete tracks. Samsung galaxy s and had no problems what so ever for a couple of years - and i didnt even fix the ****ty antenna on it.
Factory reset helps for a while, so i think its a software related issue. Gps just wont wake up when the app needs it.

Ahh, GPS wont wake up and no icon in statusbar? This issue have any people. I think this is a hardware problem. On my P6 GPS is all time viable when i need it.
Here one tip, but it only help it is a software problem:
-copy attached apk to \system\priv-app\
-set rights to 644
-reboot
-set "location mode" to "High Accuracy"
I use this gps.conf file from the LG flex and it works just fine...replace this gps.conf with the one in system/etc/ ... If you can't replace the file, use RootExplorer with root permission :cyclops:
Well, I used to have problems with GPS all the time. Since I've sent the phone back to the repair centre it works much way better...

Yes. It's a software issue. No matter what RM you have, the problem is there.
Anybody else finding apps that are incompatible with this phone? So far on my CN model, I have had issues with a few video streaming apps:

My big problem is MixCloud.
It will play for between 5 -20 minutes, then it will crash. Sometimes the phone re-starts (full reboot), other times the phone will freeze, and only respond to a long hold of the power button to restart it, other times the app just closes, and sometimes the music just stops and can be restarted by hitting play.
These things only happen to my phone when MixCloud is running.

Well, at the end I was able to find a copy of WPS Office 7.x.apk in one of my backups of another device. I could install easily this version on my Zenfone 2 550ML with firmware 2.19.40.13.
So the bug is on WPS Office v. 8.0.

Sorry for bumping the post, but 酷我音乐 (a Chinese music app) isn't working well. It does work, but using very high cpu load. Whenever it's running in the background, not even playing songs, two cores are locked at max frequency. When downloading, all cores are at max with around 60% cpu load. Compared to the older Galaxy Note 2, there are no such issue on the Note 2.
Snapchat too, once I launch it, all cpu on max until I remove it from recent apps then turns back to normal

After updating from 2.14 to 2.19, Xfinity to go and Watch TNT work. Haven't tried the Fox or ABC apps yet.
wow thanks for posting. these are pretty vital apps
My question is WHY do this apps fail? Is it because of the Intel processor, graphics chipset, missing application or handler for the video, or is it just something stupid.
Mortal Kombat X fails. All of my other apps work fine so far.

I'd love to know that as well. This is my main reason for ebaying my ZF2 and considering going with a LG G2 instead of a US ZF2. I really love the phone (coming from a Nexus 4 who wouldn't?) but while not having LTE is not a deal breaker not having my streaming apps properly working is.
Can someone confirm the working of Modern Combat 4... Modern combat 5 works well...

G2 has its issues as well, I have one for a work phone... The lollipop update cut my battery life in half, even after a factory reset, and the GPS is pathetic, if I can get better than 30 meter accuracy its a great day, my Nexus 4 would do 3 meter accuracy in seconds, and the lock screen flat out infuriates me.

Damn, that's disappointing. Most people seem to love the G2. I'm sure LG will fix that faster than Asus will fix any ZF2 issues though, or I'm hoping so. If the video streaming apps I regularly use worked I would have kept the phone, or would be swooping in on the US version now. Maybe it's time to look at the $315 GS5 although I'm not sure that I want to. Having the ZF2 for only two or three weeks, it's not easy going back to the screen size of the N4. Even my wife's GS4 feels small. I know the G2 is still smaller than the ZF2... but compared to the N4 only marginally so.

Thanks for checking in! Wifi and signal strength were both strong. I've tried these listed apps after several updates and after rooting a few times. Could have been a one-off issue with my particular phone?
Rhapsody doesnt work. I have 2 Taiwanese WW versions. Boots up, but once I sign in (or anyone else), it just crashes. I stream all day at work, so its a necessity. Anyone with the North America version have a different outcome? Thanks.

Does anyone know of a setting or anything that would keep the compass from working? I've tried doing a hard reset twice now and it still won't work. I may try returning it and getting another watch if I can't get it to work.

Hi folks. Just got my Watch to use with my Note 9 and exploring it.
One thing I can't do is see on the Watch what its GPS position is.
Is there a way to readout the lat/long?
On the watch natively no, but you can download the quick GPS position app from the store and it will show you. It's free.
