Maybe because of the padfone infinity.. I compared the price of padfone 2 and infinity on their initial release and padfone infinity is cheaper than padfone 2 that's only if you buy the unit in Taiwan.

5G Wifi missing

Hi,

I just got my Padfone Infinity 64GB /w station a week or so ago, and to my surprise, it does not seem to support 5G / DualBand wifi ?

Can someone confirm / deny ?

Thank you!

I'm trying to stop the battery drain.
In my search through all the settings, I found the "Smart mode (Power saving)" option in the sync options of the stock email app.
Does anybody know what this "Smart mode" exactly does and what the frequency is of syncing my mail?

Padfone and Paranoid Android

Hey guys, is there anyone out there capable of porting the paranoid android ROM for Padfone 2 or Padfone Infinity? Don't really know where else to post.

This is international version, it's for Europe, we have these frequencies here. For US there will be different version as the frequencies are different.

would you know how i could get this padfone 2 model with hsdpa 850 support so i could use it in canada?

---------- Post added at 03:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:43 PM ----------

I picked mine up when I was in Hong Kong - price for my 64 Gb with docking station was $6,998 HKD (c£560 GBP / c$775 USD) - without the dock you'd pay $5,298 HKD (which is around £423 GBP / $680 USD) - best bet is trying to find a retailer in HK or TW who will export to US as eBay prices are pretty eye watering! LOL!

not sure what frequency the AT&T network operate on as I'm based in the UK - but the Padfone 2 is compatible with:

GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
HSDPA 850 / 900 / 2100
LTE 800 / 1800 / 2600

Hope this helps! :)

would you know how i could get this padfone 2 model with hsdpa 850mhz support so i could use it in canada? thanx much :)

I doubt there's an American version.
I see nothing on asus.com us site.

Thus I assume there is only the one version mentioned above. And i wouldn't buy it for use in North America. If it only supports 850 MHz, you won't have optimal coverage.

ya i seen that,im just wondering why i could not find it anywhere what so ever :/ !!

Coz each region has different radios. Asus didn't release a US region padfone most padfone are only released in Europe and Asia.. So padfone are only compatible with those supported countries.. Just wait for Samsung to release their own dockable phone, a patent in US has already been submitted.

They're not stupid.. Asus just didn't give them a unit to tweak on.. Modaco has and he bought it .since it doesn't have much users and supporters he only provide basic tools,like the easy way to root the phone. But the custom ROM it self.. There is NONE. So stop whining..

GPS Coverage Issues

I've been struggling for quite sometime with GPS stability. The phone gets a lock in average time but looses the lock and jump between near points a lot :confused: It's as bad as I can not have a continuous turn by navigation

I have tried different ROMS (Stock, Stock deodexed, Guerilla) I'm currently using a stock deodexed ROM, latest version. Any thoughts here?

    Just a quick heads up that i'm in the process of creating one of my 'Superboot' auto-root images for the Padfone 2 (it's already working!), then i'll do a tweaked ROM. I'll be posting them both here and in the new MoDaCo Padfone 2 forum.

    HDMI

    i talked to asus sweden on facebook, they told me that microHDMI to TV should not be any problems. They told me that the microHDMI cable is the problem.

    Because of the design of the phone the HDMI cable is not getting to the bottom of the microHDMI hole, so hey said i could try to cut away a little of plastic from the microHDMI cable so it get longer into the connector on the padfone.

    can anyone confirm this?

    im getting my padfone tonight :D so i'll try it then if i manage to get a microHDMI to HDMI cable.

    i dont know hot deep the connector input on the phone is, but im guessing is should be enough to cut away 2-3mm of the plastic around the cable so the connector get the whole way in :p

    It's like trying to get to wonderland with only putting the key to the door halfway in.

    Hi,

    I just modify a way to root Padfone 4.0.4 without lost data.

    You need download 3 firmware file (1 full firmware CHT-PadFone-9.18.8.41_CHT and 2 OTA firmware Firmware 9.18.8.41 to 9.20.1.22(CHT), Firmware 9.20.1.22 to 9.20.2.14(CHT)).

    Take it here: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/Mobile_Phone/PadFone/CHT_PadFoneuser9_18_8_41UpdateLauncher.zip (this file must be extract and copy zip file under ASUS folder)
    AND OTA firmware: http://www.padfoneclub.com/pl/content/content.php?content.15

    Copy 3 zip file to a SD Card, put SD Card to your phone.

    Enable setting first:
    "Settings > Applications > Unknown Sources"
    "Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging"
    OR
    "Settings > Security > Unknown Sources"
    "Settings > Developer Options > USB Debugging"

    Go to recovery and install CHT-PadFone-9.18.8.41_CHT then boot, while your phone booting put your phone to pc usb and run RootDebugfs.bat and chose steep Root. When you receive mes "Keep here, install 2 OTA Firmware at recovery. Once 2 OTA Firmware install completed and your devices has finished restarting".

    Keep it here and keep usb pc connected padfone. Go to recovery and install 2 OTA (install at one Firmware 9.18.8.41 to 9.20.1.22(CHT) first, then Firmware 9.20.1.22 to 9.20.2.14(CHT), don't need reboot). After install completed, reboot and complete step at root cmd on your PC.

    All done!

    If got error on root chmod script, try it by your self: Run CMD, type "adb shell" enter, then type list command bellow:

    su
    mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p21 /system
    chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
    rm /data/local/tmp
    mv /data/local/tmp.bak /data/local/tmp
    rm /data/local/su
    rm /data/local/debugfs
    rm /data/local/debugfsinput
    exit
    exit
