QUOTE(hassan1990 @ Oct 28 2015, 12:18 AM) Well i usually have no issues streaming 480p videos smoothly on my laptop even after considering my slow internet. The same cannot be said about my phone. This is why I'm wondering if there are hardware and software limitations inherent in the phone itself that leads to this scenario. Hardware on your Phone. No. your phone support WiFi AC, if your router does too? Software on your Phone? Yes. Could be Asus ZenUI ROM problem. bad handling cache... Another issues is the Apps itself. YouTube Apps bad handling backward or forward...

QUOTE(swgiant @ Nov 15 2015, 03:53 PM) I am interested in Zuk Z1, due to cheap and good specs but only have to flash a custom rom. I found the links, https://xq55.app.box.com/ZUKZ1ROMs ,can someone explain to me the differences between ZUK Z1 ROMs Cyanogen ZIP and OTA ? But then under ZIP, it has fastboot, signed and debugable again, inside fastboot folder, it has a lot of files, cm-12.1-YOG4PASxxx-ham-signed-fastboot.zip again. Really appreciate if someone can guide me. OTA mean Over The Air, usually is a Zip file downloaded into your devices and update via your Recovery. Fastboot mean you only can flash using Command Prompt way on your PC.

QUOTE(lantohsay @ Dec 3 2015, 08:39 AM) screenshots? how? sorry smartphone illiterate... (FYI, after disabling suspected virus and rebooting, I get extra 140mb free space back. BTW, someone told me to reformat - what is that in s/phone?) further info: phone = lenovo, suspect virus because battery drained very fast when data connection on. TY. Those are bloatware we usually said... disable them at all costs.

QUOTE(lantohsay @ Dec 3 2015, 01:07 PM) hi NightFelix, some 'apps,plugin' under apps - their disable buttons are already dimmed - cannot disable (or enabled either). Some like ConfigUpdater, Basic Daydreams, GooglePartnerSetup, KeyChain, MagicSmokeWallpapers, Omacp, PhaseBeam, PicasaUploader, VCalender, VoiceCommand, VpnDialog- unsure whether will disable important programs. Some like WorldClock, VoiceUnlock, FusedLocation, EngineerMode - their Disabled and ForceStop button are already dimmed - cannot disabled. you advised to disable them - will virus continue operate after disable? Factory reset - will reset kill the virus at root vs erase data only? ???!!! I would appreciate if you could screen shots all of them.. Because some system apps can't disable by users, it require root to do that..

QUOTE(nujikabane @ Dec 12 2015, 11:56 PM) What about flashing ROM, will it remove my data / apps ? Flashing ROM technically won't wipe your data / apps. BUT!!! If you flash a new ROM, the requirement in order to booting into a new ROM, you are compulsory to wipe your data (aka factory reset). Their steps usually "ALMOST" the same. 1. Backup Nandroid (in case go wrong) 2. Wipe your Data 3. Flash ROM 4. Flash Gapps 5. Reboot PS. We call it CLEAN FLASH. Clean Flash mean, wipe data and flash a new ROM. Dirty Flash mean, flash a ROM without wiping.This post has been edited by NightFelix: Dec 13 2015, 12:05 AM

QUOTE(nujikabane @ Dec 13 2015, 01:36 AM) ^ Thanks for the clarification. Btw, I have just root my smartphone. [What I meant by rooting was to install the KingUser app in my pc, and then plugged my smartphone to root] I am not sure what the fad about rooting is all about. [1] There are no noticeable increase in my Internal storage. [2] Still unable to uninstall many bloatwares [it shows as 'unremovable' in the KingUser list of apps] However, on the positive side, I noticed that the Interface changed a bit, but that's about it. Maybe is not fully rooted. Try install supersu by chain fire from playstore. Use that one as your primary supersu apps to control root capability. And then install another apps call system apps remover. Then try grant it supersu right and uninstall those bloatware.

QUOTE(dp82 @ Jan 4 2016, 12:33 AM) Yupe. i can read my sd card. 1. Can view only photos at gallery. 2. If go to "my files or explorer"', can view photos, VIDEO etc. somehow, the videos r not populated in Gallery. Tried google the issues, still cant fix it... Try install 3rd party apps like "QuickPic" to fix this problem. Stock Gallery could be could not be able to read those Video in your MicroSDCard.

I have manually click check for updates but it just said no updates available and there are a few more versions already after the current version of the device. What is your version?

QUOTE(imationyj @ Jan 20 2016, 02:55 PM) Currently on Cyanogen 12.1 YOG4PAP1CG. Will there be OTA update for it? Since it's a preview version. Not sure if it's the original Zuk CyanogenOS or it's a CyanogenMod.  The software build is from Aug if not wrong. Latest version is below. QUOTE Cyanogen OS 12.1 (5.1.1) YOG4PAS3OH which you can be found at here https://cyngn.com/supportif you are on stock recovery, you can download the second one cm-12.1-YOG4PAS3OH-ham-signed.zip flash the whole new rom.

QUOTE(imationyj @ Jan 20 2016, 03:28 PM) Stock recovery is showing Cyanogen word on top one right? Is there anyway to check if my device has been rooted the unroot before and bootloader is unlocked? I tried to load the bootloader and the screen is showing a linux penguin icon in middle of screen. Is that a lock or unlock bootloader?  Command to check bootloader status: fastboot oem device-info
U need a PC to check that.

QUOTE(imationyj @ Jan 20 2016, 07:26 PM) Tried it and it just stuck on waiting for device. adb devices can see the device though but not fastboot device. The screen shows a penguin icon which i think is linux logo? Is that the fastboot mode? uhm... then could be your phone lack of drivers to detect in fastboot mode. 1. Go Google search for latest Universal Naked Driver / Samsung ADB Driver 2. Make sure you enable debug mode in developer settings, no sure how, google how to enable debug mode in developer setting 3. Try another USB port / USB Cable. Penguin = fastboot mode? I'm not sure... each OEM show different icon. so that penguin could be fastboot mode.
