After some more random attempt, it seems like PFI only allow certain apps to be marked as "Pad Only" hence I could not find the "Pad Only" section on the top right corner to drag the app icon to. Will contact Asus support when I got the time to see what they have to explain.

After 2 weeks of casual use, I would like to share my personal thoughts on PFI.

Build quality
The build quality is good, I like the aluminium build on the phone. No complain on the station too, but it could be better for the price I paid. The aluminium joints does not fit as perfectly as my bro's iPhone 4/4S. You can see more apparent gap and you can feel the joint with your finger.

When you press firmly on the top right corner, you can hear and feel creaking. This both "reduce" the premium feel I have when I compare to my bro's dated iPhone 4/4S.

Display
I only have my Samsung Galaxy Note 1 and HTC One X that I previously owned to compare with. Probably it's due to the 1080p display, I feel that the display is way better that HOX. Don't get me wrong, I also like the HOX's display. The brightness is also ways higher HOX. I don't like very bright screens, while I have my HOX brightness in between 20% - 30% in most indoor situations, I have my PFI in between 0% - 20%.

I used to use my SGN1 most of the time because of the larger screen and much much better battery life compared to HOX. Now I think PFI blows these 2 away.

Battery life
I'd say I'm between casual and power user (e.g. web browsing, Flipboard, YouTube, rarely on games). I'd say 2,400mAh is still good. With SGN1 I usually had around 50% juice at around 10:00 p.m. With HOX 15% at 10:00 p.m. (Only pick up a less than 5 phone calls and nothing else) to the need to charge as early as 5:00 p.m. (with casual use).

With PFI I still have around 40% at 10:00 p.m. with casual use, possible to get 60% balance.

I have 2 main issues with PFI.

1st is YouTube. When you have it in landscape view, you will get the bottom 1/4 of the screen black whenever you return back to the video listing. The contents are still there, just that it's been censored by a black strip. This affects my viewing experience and forces me to use YouTube in portrait view. I've seen this case reported in Google YouTube forum from a PadFone 1 user with no solution or fix posted.

2nd is the WiFi receive signal when PFI phone is docked to the station. With the station not docked I can still somewhat open web pages in my room or behind the house in the kitchen. Once you dock it, you are forced to H/H+ signal. This is also a issue commonly reported by other users. Even with the station docked, the reception is not stable. I can even stream YouTube from my SGN1 and HOX is these locations. Will contact Asus when I got the time to ask for explanation.

Update 2013/10/14 : PFI Station WiFi Fix
After a few days of testing, I can confirm that PFI station WiFi issue has been fixed.

Solution : I've noticed that the pin on one of the two connector rods beside the mini USB on the PFI station is bent after my purchase but did not bothered with it since I can dock the phone fine. Later on I recalled that someone mentioned somewhere that the station has its own antenna so I used a needle to align the middle pin back to the middle of the rode. And the conclusion... Now the WiFi reception is pretty good, no different than when the phone is not docked.

Overall I'm still satisfied with my purchase. Hope this will help those who are considering to purchase PFI.

Did anyone able to run junction view in Malaysia map?

Hi guys,

I'll be visiting malaysia around september and i'm planning to grab a padfone infinity a86, is it available in lowyat?

Hard to find shop with available stocks since the demands are not high for its high price but if u insist, u can booked it 1st from some seller here in lowyat.net
Current price is rm2499 but im not sure if the set comes with snapdragon 600 or 800.btw where are you come from?

I'm from Mauritius, butt i studied in Malaysia (MMU) i usually come visit friends in malaysia every two years, i should be visiting around end of september, but for a few days only, i hope i can find one when i'm in malaysia, or else i'll have to use ebay

by the time u arrived here the price probably going to be cheaper and perhaps padfone infinity lite already available

Hopefully,

I'll check back a few weeks before my trip, maybe i can find it online on malaysian sites.

just wanna ask if this phone really worth to buy or not? coz there's a lot of people saying that asus padfone is not good and so on.. Can anyone justify this? Tq

Urgently nd a answer,does anyone having poor line reception on ur phone. It has been a long timw tat i found out tat my phone is having poor reception,but nt on other brand of phone. It is is a common problem or tis problem only happen on my phone?

Restart the phone and see how everytime the reception is wierd. I set to auto, and sometimes when move from 1 place to another, the signal sometimes is either no data or show signal but noone can call me. Restart the phone seems to solve it (for every incident).
On/Off flight mode will not solve this.

4.4.2 firmware installed fine, but found the below troublesome/problems:-

1) Default launcher cannot be set to others, ZEN UI only. That means cannot use other UI
2) Swap from top screen to bottom sometimes bring out the Quick setting screen rather than notification screen. really annoying. Correct way to swap out notification screen is press on the notification bar and swap down. so troublesome.
3) Long press home screen no longer bring out the so-useful-to-me programs shortcuts.
4) Some programs works in earlier firmware no longer work in 4.4.2
5) Developer option is by default disable. There are many guidelines on how to enable it.
6) yet to find out.

now can buy just the fon pack without tablet for ori..

Can some one just teach me on how to upgrade to kitkat.. Im kinda sux with updating manually

Bought the Asus Padfone Infinity A86 at Cheras for RM 659.00. So far so good, but the CPU tends to get hot sometimes. Does anyone know where I can get a casing for this phone?

Thank you.

thats cheap.. brand new? phone only without pad station?

Yes that cheap! I thought it was a typo in Mudah.my.

Even Directd is selling the phone for RM699. I went to Satu Gadget shop at Menara PGRM.

Just phone only. Not interested to the docking pad.

nice.. its a bargain for a phone with Snapdragon 800 proc, full HD display, and nicely built too.. will be a perfect spare phone

Anyone knows how to update their Asus Padfone Infinity to Kit Kat Zen UI? I have downloaded the firmware update from Asus Website. I have transferred the file into the phone but still it does not update automatically.

Thank you.

Hi guys,

Anyone here knows whats the current price of the A86 with the tablet docking?
Tried searching around but the only ones i see are just phone only..
