Tried the steps, but it seems to only change it on the Home Screen or Lock Screen. I had them set to None before and if I set them to Blur and then change it to 0%, after clicking on Apply it gets changed back to None.

Hello, Thank you for the fast reply to the thread. My app tray isn't transparent and I can't find a way to make it transparent. In the older Zen UI, you could go to Preferences and there was an option there to make it transparent. However, I can't find such an option on Zen UI 5.5 on Zenfone...

Hello, Did Asus remove the ability to make the App Menu background transparent in order to see the Home Screen wallpaper? Zenfone 2 and Zenfone 3 Deluxe had this, but I can't find any setting for Zenfone 5z to set the App Menu transparency in order to see the wallpaper even if I'm not on the...

Except for RAM and Storage size, they're basically the same. The Antutu score will indeed increase because it takes in count everything in your device, including how much ram and how much storage, but other than that, there aren't any differences.

Did that, worked :D The update took only like 5 minutes and works like a charm, haven't encountered any bugs in it so far.

Hello, Asus finally released Android O for ZS570KL and I tried to manually update, but after downloading the file and placing it in the root folder, the update notification doesn't appear. It doesn't matter if I restart the phone or just disconnect the USB, the notification still won't appear...

Hello, As the title says, I'm having a problem with notifications when the screen is off. I'm not getting notifications from Yahoo Mail, unless the screen is turned on...and I do get them ONLY if the app is opened. I had Asus Zenfone 2 before this and I'm used to always closing my apps after...

The only thing I had to replace (under warranty) was the battery, never had any other problems. Still using Zenfone 2 after two years and a half because I don't have any issues with it. Will eventually change it too, but I guess that will be when the phone won't keep up with apps and games...

Before buying the Zenfone 2, I was using a HTC Desire 310 and before that a Samsung Galaxy Mini 2 (which was my first smartphone actually). Really like both those phones, but they were budget phones and they quickly started to have performance problems, since they were generally weak devices...

I had a problem similar to this one back in September. It was cause by the battery. Went to the warranty service and they replaced it. In my case, the battery was swollen at the bottom, that's how I knew the battery must be the culprit. And the issue happened more than once, plus even when it...

This version is pretty stable imo. I've encountered only one issue: After I use the GPS, the phone heats up and it starts draining battery. This can be solved by restarting the phone after using GPS stuff (Google Maps etc). I rarely use the GPS so this doesn't bother me. Other than that...

I know there have been people that had problems with the phone, but isn't it the same with all the phones? There's no perfect manufacturer or phone, some will have problems, some won't. I'm still satisfied with my Zenfone 2 and even if it had 1-2 problems with Marshmallow when it was released...

Hello everyone, My cousin has Zenfone 2 ZE551ML (the variant with 1.8Ghz and 4 GB RAM) and he wants to go back to stock MM ROM. My questions are: 1. Is any ROM from Asus website safe to flash with Asus Flash Tool? Or do I need a specific ROM for it to work? If I need a specific ROM, can...

It all depends on what you do with your phone. There are people that have been satisfied with their Zenfone and people that haven't been satisfied and only had complaints. Personally, I love this phone, got it 1 year ago and still works like a charm. It was cheap for what it offered and it...

I've upgraded from LP .198 to MM .184 and I have no issues so far. Performance is good (no factory reset), battery is the same as on LP (I lose 1% at each 2 hours on stand-by), the sound distortion and freeze problems I used to have in games are not there anymore. All sensors work.

I also updated from LP .198 to MM .184 because I heard a lot of problems have been resolved and I am very happy to say that I've had no problems whatsoever. The sound and mini freeze in games problem that I had on MM .134 was solved as well. The battery life is also good. The performance is...

Well it sounds pretty good to me. Sounds like the battery life is normal. I've had my phone since last year and my battery was always draining 1% at each 2 hours on stand-by. A restart can take 0-1%, depending on your charge level, but it seems pretty normal to me as well. As for on-screen...

You can consider a battery as being bad when you see percentages dropping all of a sudden (2% or more at a time), when the phone turns off on an early percetange (for example turning off at 20%) or if the battery starts getting swollen (it becomes "fat" instead of being flat). What you can try...

Hello everyone, As my thread title suggests, I'm looking for a method to revert back to stock rom and recovery on a zenfone 2 (ze551ml) that is currently running CM13 (6.0.1) with TWRP recovery. I would really appreciate if you gave me some information on this.

Bug: https://www.asus.com/zentalk/thread-98693-1-1.html

Overall the update was great for me and most of the things worked fine for me, including the sensors. But I encountered a mini freeze and sound distortion problem in games and since i game on my phone, I had to go back to Lollipop to solve this issue. Tried downgrading back to L and after that...

Hey there peeps, I successfully upgraded to Android M yesterday and everything is working great (including the sensors), except for two things, which are the ones in the title on the thread. After upgrading to Marshmallow I'm experiencing mini freezes and sound distortion in games. The mini...

I just installed Android M from Lollipop .194 (stock,no root) and everything is working fine, even the sensors.

You can find the download link in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/fota-official-mm-z00a-mashmallow-asus-t3451764 plus other additional info :)

It's not useless, it really is out. I can see the update just fine when I go on the asus webpage (the link above)

Anyone tried it yet? On zentalk some people are saying that the phone sensors aren't working after updating to M, can anyone share their experience regarding this?

I've had other phones before this which I used for at least 2 years each and never had this kind of problem. First time it happens to me on an android phone. As for the time since I have it, it's 11 months. Tried anything I could (calibration, charging while the phone is off,factory reset etc)...

As I wrote in the title, my phone battery percentage suddenly dropped like that in a mere 5 seconds or so. This isn't the first time this happened, but it doesn't happen on a daily basis. This happened to me 2 other times in the past month, it once dropped from 11 to 0% and from 8% to 0%. Is the...

I have this phone since August 2016 and it never disappointed me. The processor is pretty good, you can run almost anything without any problems, the 4GB still is and will always be useful, the storage is big (i have the 32GB version, which is a lot for me and i never filled it). Sure, it hasn't...

I might try it but still not sure yet...until then...does anyone have a download link for the update?

Since the release for MM has been delayed, I'm thinking of upgrading to the beta instead. I'm on stock firmware, no root, only a few disabled apps that I never use. What's your suggestion? People that upgraded to MM beta and weren't rooted, what was your experience?

It's off :( And after leaving Wi-Fi on and getting a huge battery drain...and after a while turning it off and the drain stopping, I can confirm that the problem is somehow Wi-Fi related. Screenshots attached. As you can see, when Wi-Fi was on, the battery drained faster, when it was off, it...

Okay so it really seems that Wi-Fi might be the issue. While my phone had Wi-Fi on and 2G, it dropped like crazy again. After i disabled Wi-Fi, I also moved the phone back to 3G and there was only 2% drain in like 6 hours. Now I re-enabled the Wi-Fi and trying again...but it seems that indeed...

I will do so when I'll have the chance, I recharged the phone overnight and I unplugged it 2 hours ago. I tested these days all kind of different networks (2G/3G/4G) and WiFi on and off. I left the phone with Wi-Fi off and only 2G. Now when I checked it after 2 hours, I see that it's at 99%, as...

I'm using WW firmware .184 (the problem started while i was still on .183 though) and I'm still on stock ROM, unrooted (and never rooted it). Everything was working fine until a few days ago...

As my title suggests, the phone was working fine until a few days ago (the battery drops by 1% at every 2 hours normally), when it suddenly started dropping by 4% each hour. I tried everything I could think of: restarted the phone, wiped storage cache, formatted recovery cache, checked for...

Telegram user name : cronosus ; Please add me too :)

My experience so far: flawless. Everything is butter smooth, Zen UI is good looking (before the only UI I liked was Samsung's Touch Wiz). Never had crashes or compatibility problems like I had on other phones. The camera is good enough for a regular person The storage is quite big and the...

As that subject mentions, I was wondering if someone could please provide me with a step by step guide on how to completely re-soft my Asus Memo Pad 7 ME176CX. I'd like to reinstall Lollipop from scratch because after I rooted it long time ago and also messed with some stuff/took out apps,etc. ...

Since 2 days ago, I'm having a screen flicker problem with my Zenfone 2 551ML. At times, the lower part of the screen flickers. It happens when I scroll menus, webpages, basically when I move the screen in some way. This stops if I leave the phone in standby and after that I use it again, but...

nvm, I found how to do it. Updated without issues.

which zip file? the one from asus website or? oh and my phone is WW Sku original,update worked until now...dunno why it doesn't see any update this time

I have 551ML and I'm currently on .139...when I click on "Check for updates", it doesn't find any new update. WW version. Anyone know why? Any suggestion?

Greetings everyone. As the title says, Helium doesn't work on my Zenfone 2 and from what I've read around on the internet, I'm not the only one having this problem. The desktop application recognizes the device, but the device won't recognize the desktop application, it gets stuck on "Waiting...

Please let us know the results, I'm quite disappointed with the current gaming performance as well,half of the reason why I bought this phone was for the good reviews that it had @ gaming. Curious if the firmware is the culprit or not.

Hey peeps, Do the saving modes on Zenfone 2 actually make a difference? It seems to me that Performance mode (runs on 2.3 Ghz) and Normal Mode (runs on 1.8 Ghz) use around the same amount of juice (at least that's how it looks when I look at on screen time) and the last ones (Power Saving and...

My title pretty much sums it up. My Zenfone 2 ze551ml arrived today and after updating it to the latest version, I uninstalled the regular pre-installed apps from it. By regular I mean CleanMaster, Amazon Kindle, Omlet Chat, Trip Advisor, etc. Didn't uninstall any Asus bloatware, only disabled...

Edited the latest update zip with Notepad ++ and when I try to flash it through temp cwm now it says that the asus browser apk has unexpected content. The browser is working fine, I'm using it daily and I didn't modify anything. Any ideas?

Do I need a special script editor or modifying it with Wordpad will do? I tried to edit it because it gave me an error saying that my version is wrong, although it's the correct one and after removing the version check lines and trying to re-flash it using the temporary clockwork method, it gave...

It's a problem that appeared when Lollipop update came out. In my case, I used to have it when doing anything, it just appeared randomly. After a while though, it started happening only when playing games, so I took it back to warranty and they reinstalled KitKat on it. Wanting to try my luck...
