hii i have an old BA whose screen is gone...lost my stylus..and even the battery is dead. i live in Kolkata in India..Can Any of you guys help me on this issue...i got to make it run.
screen is gone?
what do you mean?
is it busted/cracked?
white screen?
bootloader screen? "e.g Serial/USB etc."
tri-color screen?
what exactly do you have at the moment?
(items that are necessary to check if it can be revived)
pc? (given that you posted this)
working battery?
battery charger?
usb cable/cradle?
i know what you think... i've produced more questions rather than answer.
but i think your post isnt getting any point.
if you can provide more descriptive words, we can help you. (as much)
SilverSamurai is right, please provide more detailed explaination
if you have faulty batery you may not be able to turn on your device and the red flash light will be turned on
hii
hii samurai...my ba has a swollen battery... i think ill have to buy a new one....and i have a screen where i think my touch screen is ok....but the lcd is gone....
you need to buy these things in order for you to make it or test it if it works
1. battery
2. usb cable (cradle)
you need these two to check if your unit is still operational and i know there's something in the forum how to interface with your BA remotely without the LCD.
3. LCD *** you need to buy a replacement for this. it's the most important part of your BA.
BAAAAA
i know samurai...the problem is the BA is very old now and i dont find some good mechanics here in my city...and all the guys here say that the replacements heve to be bought from china...i stay in india.....it seems illogical...hehe...thinking abt it man
hmm...
then, it's sorry to say that without those two
1. battery and
2. usb cable/charger
you cant deteremine if your unit is still working
or is it turning on...
and without the
3. LCD
you cant use it or determine if it has an OS installed,
and will never know where to start fixing...
until you got those requirement i said above, it will be NO GO for that unit.
I've posted a suggestion on the Microsoft forums:
"Can the January update please include the ability to multi-task unconditionally when on mains power? I think that this solves the majority of issues since when you are at work or driving you would be able to keep the phone on charge and do what you like with it without affecting the battery. It's pretty much the ideal solution in my opinion."
I would appreciate it if anyone who agrees with me could show their support on that thread and also here, since it might be against the rules to suggest discussing things elsewhere.

Thanks
Use push notifications when on mains power, but turn it off when on battery power
Also:
"Can the next update also include an option to use push notifications when on mains power, but turn it off when on battery power?
In addition it would be nice to have a way to update everything manually with one action, including emails, people hub, and selected apps such as RSS feeds."

Sorry to say that,
but that is completely, totally idiotic idea.
It should multitask, without any dependance on battery charging!
Do you imagine people running around with chargers looking for electricity
to make the phone multitask?!
Lol that is unbelievable.
Just cannot believe it.
I think we should ask MS to disable long calls when NOT charging
because THAT eats battery!!!

You can get banned for talking in that tone, but that aside, it's not an idiotic idea. When would you ever need to multitask on the go? Dual tasking, yes; but not multi-tasking. The main times I want multitasking are when I'm in one place, like work or the car. If lots of apps were running all the time then I'd run out of power quickly, so I like the idea of not being able to run more than two apps when on a battery, but I don't see why the same restriction should apply when power isn't an issue. There's simply no reason for it.
And calls hardly take any power, especially on GSM, so do your research before pretending to know what you're talking about next time.
I'd imagine they'll probably go the same route as Apple and use specific cooperative multitasking. That allows the appearance of multitasking for those apps that request it while allowing the system to stay responsive, in complete control and keeps the CPU time low compared to full pre-emptive multitasking. The iPhone demonstrates that these devices don't need pre-emptive "like a computer" multitasking to be useful and WinMo demonstrated that the hardware (yes, even the Snapdragon...remember that mess LG tried to sell last year?) isn't up to the task anyway. That is the only solution that really makes any sense to me.
Hello, I would like to start off by saying I'm new here AND in Android culture. I was an iPhone user, but decided to swith to something different. Since I live in Europe (in Lithuania, to be exact) I figured that it wouldn't mean anything here if I bough a blacklisted T-mobile Note 3 4G LTE phone. Now to the main point - I got the phone yesterday and noticed something suspicious. Firstly, it came with aftermarket charger and usb cable (not usb 3.0, just a simple micro-usb to usb 2.0). My first problem is that when I am charging Note while it's on, it almost doesn't charge at all. Only when I turn off the phone I can expect the phone to charge to 80-90 percent in 8 HOURS! That's insane! Needless to say, I WILL be getting original samsung charger... Now other complaint is that the area around camera gets hot even when changing settings. Not really sure what causes that, so I did 4 factory resets yesterday.... Today it gets warm, but nothing suspicous. Disabled KNOX and other crappy programs. Not sure if it's the chargers fault, but battery life sucks. Phone drains the battery like crazy, the percentage drops about 1 in minute or so. When I use the power saving, reduce the brightness, use airplane mode, it's better, but even If i charge it and use my phone at the same time, the battery percentage still keeps going down
Now, the biggest wtf moment is when the phone is not plugged to charge, if i press the sleep button, the display turns black and after a few second the phone shuts itself off. No sounds, no vibration or notifications, it just silently goes to sleep. I can only turn it on again. I could even successfuly unlock the phone to use with a sim card, the phone is also making fun of me! Not really sure what's happening with my note that i bought off ebay and spent quite the amount of money, but I am starting to get into depression...
Please, if anyone has ANY idea what the hell is happening (apart the stupid charger), i would really appreciate any answers. And sorry for the long post and my english, as it is not my native language!

Could be a counterfeit - Check the serial with Samsung and make sure it has all the crazy samsung sensor, the counterfeits usually don't
Make sure the power button isn't sticking, I had an iphone 4s that did the same thing and it was due to power button hardware problem.
For the charger just get a cheap one off ebay with the right power ratings(find them for your country on samsung.com) and I find Toshiba sells replacement USB3 cables for their hard drives really cheap - That can save you 30$
Blacklisted IMEI phones are a gamble, if you can prove it's a counterfeit then ebay should refund you but it might also be a phone some bad man/woman/other stole and might have been abused. If it's the latter then that's a shame that he ended up stealing from two people...

Thank you for your answer
Well, the power button isn't sticking, I can clearly feel and heal it click when I am pressing it. The IMEI under the battery matches the IMEI in android system settings. I checked my IMEI on swappa and it says that phone was reported stolen (yay..). On imei.info site it says a different model (n9005 instead of n900t), but whatever.
Thank you for the info about toshiba usb 3.0 cables, might as well buy one right away
To be honest, I feel like it's a faulty item (even though seller assured my that the phone is working like new and that he replaced the battery). The battery life, as I said, is terrible, it doesn't hold a charge, the vibration motor seems very cheap (it's too strong, it sounds very strange), speaker seems to be not-ok too (distorted sound not even on full volume), screen-capture with palm doesn't even seem to work properly, I can't choose various music eq's (it says that this eq is not supported with speaker), I can't get my sim to work with this phone. Well, according to the ebay ad, phone should be working properly without any problems. The fact that the battery or charging mechanism sucks determined that was a lie...
Now I'm wondering if this info would be enough for paypal to refund me, because the phone is almost unsable (with self shutting of while it's not charging) and sad battery life...
Sorry for double post, but I noticed something very strange...
Well, turns out, that when the airplane mode is off, the phone gets very hot around the camera and battery is draining like mad. BUT, when I turn on the airplane mode, note cools off, battery still keeps draining, but it seems that not as much... Anyways, is it possible that the cellular module or something like that could be a cause of all my problems? (and to keep in mind that I haven't been able to use any sim with it, as it keeps saying "searching")
Sim won't work unless it's unlocked.
My suggestions are to:
1. Stock restore and then root the device.
2. Just sign in to phone using WiFi and download chain fires region lock away. Roughly $3 US.
3. Then try out Sim card, see if you can get signal.
If you can get that far, it will tell us what other kind of problems the phone is having on its own. Sounds to me at the moment it is trying very hard to find the signal and causing battery drain issues. The random shut downs could be due to the phone over heading and shutting down as a fail safe.

I did everything exactly as mentioned in the thread that you've posted the link to. First of all, booting logo changed, then my phone became unlocked (when I inserted the SIM, it didn't ask for unlock code). However, even with apn settings, it still says "searching" and gets quite hot in the upper-left side of the phone (when screen is facing towards me). I was really hoping this would help, but it didn't do much, as it seems... Anyways, I appreciate your good deed trying to help me I'm really desperate to make this phone work with my phone, but can't seem to manage to do that, which is very sad...
Hey,
Everyday,i use my phone for 5-8 hours.The battery is so depressed.Then i want to buy power bank for smartphone .Can someone recommend some high good quality power bank for me?And i don't know the price for it. Can someone help me?
Good day everyone.
i just bought my zenfone 2 551 2gb 16 variant at Lazada PH. i've been using if for like a week now. the problem is when the battery goes to completely 0% i can't turn on the device during charging. my other device can be turned on from the moment i plug it in. this device have to be connected from about 15 minutes before it can be turned on... any idea what the problem is?
That's normal with all the zenfone 2 devices, it needs a certain amount of power before it can turn back on properly
Usually waiting for 2-5 minutes of charging while off will provide enough power to turn on the device.
thank you for responding.
well if that's the case then i'm relived.
but initially i email the support team of ASUS and got this response from them:

Dear SquallDNA,
Actually this is normal for Zenfone 2. When 0% charge you will need to charge for a longer period before being able to turn back on. Also ZenFone 2 Intel 1.8GHz 2GB DDR3 16GB does not come equipped with 18w Boostmaster adapter and will require longer charge. Only the 2.3GHz 4GB DDR3 64GB comes with 18w Boostmaster adapter: http://www.asus.com/us/support/Sear...5-480F-AADA-FE49EDD81C01/?keyword=boostmaster

Thank you for responding. but it just seem abnormal. cause i have a cheap device that doesn't do this same issue. from battery empty stat, once i plug it in, even with a usb port, it immediately turns on with no problem... i guess you can actually fix this with a firmware upgrade by fooling the device from completely turning off the unit even before 0%.. this could be a life saving matter. i hope you understand what im saying. as of writing this reply, my phone went from totally empty at 6:13am. charged it. still can't turn it on by 6:30. somebody could have robbed and killed me in my room. i could've called 911 already..
finally, it turned on at 6:40am.
please consider my suggestion about firmware upgrade. im not a programmer but i know this could be done..
thank you so much.

No offense but wouldn't it just be easier to put ur phone the charge before it reaches 0%?.. I mean the same effort to escape murder could simply be put into plugging in ur charger at 1% instead.. it's that simple..
The scenario seems more of an excuse for being lazy IMO
To each his own i guess..

no offense taken. but in the instance that i forgot to charge the device, extended travel, or usb port is not available. that happens right? and then emergency came knocking your door.it's not an excuse for laziness, it could be for negligence but not laziness. again things like this happens. and besides c'mon, it's ASUS. not any cheap chinese low quality device(no offense). almost 30 mins of not being able to use your phone.
FYI , it happens exactly with Iphone phones.

wow really? that's ridiculous then. sony xperia, PIPO tabs, and myphone brands doesn't do that, based on my personal experience. well i guess nothin's perfect.
It is really not good to discharge your battery to zero on a regular basis. Never let it get below 10%.
Pls post screenshots of battery usage nd screen on time of zenfone 2
