Zen6 + 0715 firmware + indoor = GPS locked in 9sec.
I no idea how it was under prev firmware coz only just now test.
So maybe firmware update giving boost.?

Does anyone know how to have 2 numbers activated in Telegram app since Zenfone is a dual Sim.?
Currently I installed official Telegram + unofficial Telegram+.

For WhatsApp easy.. Just install OGWhatsApp.
Telegram.. How?

I had same problem - occasionally auto rotation stuck. Needed restart. However, after done manual update, all is gud.
Currently on latest 0715.
Latest 0715 does seems to suck battery a bit compared to prev updates. Not much tho. Gimme a few days and I'll update my Gsam battery readings for a more quantitative diff.

All in all... Zen6 is simply an awesome budget phone. Currently mine have no issue what's so ever.

Zen6 user.
I'm using d auto ON/Off flip cover (non-ori) without experiencing any isu as described. Tis cheap case I bought for only RM35 and function just like ori flip - window icon looks awesome.
So I doubt d flip cover was d caused.
Maybe u could try update firmware, c how.

I can't remember link but hv his number.
Will pm u so u may WhatsApp him.

Regarding Asus test using calculator, just key ".12345+=" from calculator pad to access SMMI Test app.
Tis is a very important for all users or atleast to new buyers to test overall system status before paying.
*** TS should have tis info on 1st page..

To test GSensor, u need shake phone.
C if it works.

Possible hardware problem.
Try pressing pwr button for at least 10sec, c if can turn on.
U should also check / clean the charging port for possible lint accumulation.
If able to turn on then straight away test system using Asus SIMI test app @ calculator > .12345+=

Obviously @ settings > lock screen.
Got ON/Off toggle there.

To also remove clock weather widget,
at lock screen, tab n hold widget > remove.

No bug.
Mine is functioning without issue since bought.

> Zen6/8GB/Ap/firmware latest WWuser 1.16.40.50 + non ori auto On/Off flip cover.

I noticed got a button like tingy concelled on cover which i believe is a magnet to auto On/Off. Maybe urs isn't positioned correctly causing issues.

Zenfone 6 GPS locking very fast even w/o skyview.
Test done inside house and GPS locked within 6-9 seconds after turning GPS on.

Q.. does Xposed framework compatible to Zenfone.?

Btw.. why I choose Zen6 over Zen5.
I started wif Zen4 and was impressed by its looks and overall performance. So cheap but no slouch definitely. Hey, it got 2 sim slots which later made me put aside my HO M7 and start using Zen4 only. Later I started salivating for PixelMaster Nite mode.
Tho earlier I prefer 5in but considering certain issues reported by Zen5 users here especially SOT, so I decided to gamble buy Zen6 instead. No regret after that. Ya, its huge but I'm not tiny either.. so ok lar.

I still believe Zen6 is a better buy compared to Zen5 even if u got small hands. Price wise very marginal.

Zen6 SOT up to 6hrs w/o Pwr Saver activated, screen brightness medium, when I mostly on wifi and browse net for news etc.
On 3G, I get about 5hrs SOT.
I really don't understand why some still complaining regarding it pwr endurance. 5-6hrs SOT not enuff.?

I carry backpack as always.
+ Bluetooth headset.

Men using handbag.? Identity / sexuality crisis.!
Maybe u meant 'Clutch bag'.?

Awesome.!
Thanks for d info.
U r on which Zenfone?

Nak tanya lagi...
U install Xposed via adb sideload or normal xposed install?
Reason 4 asking coz I read somewhere got user softbrick when install xposed but later need install via adb.

Me takut2 coz my Zen6 now ady cun2 set but lack Xposed touch.

Ha.Ha.. I tot u gave me license to blame u even if I smashed my Zen6 to d wall... and u would replace mine wif a new Zen6.

Anyway, thanks for ur time replying n sharing info.
Appreciated.

Regarding heat & batt life...

All phones will definitely heats up when pushed to its limits.. and shorter batt life.. isn't it a rule of thumb ady?

Now, when u say hot, how hot is hot?
To some 40˚C is acceptable and considered as warm. But for me that is Hot ady. Phones with metal body like HO makes it feels warmer than those having plastic ones tho the internal temperature could be otherwise.

For testing batt consumption and monitoring internal temperature, I suggest use GSam Batt monitor (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gsamlabs.bbm).

Must have app.! Must use if u decide to discuss battery life, temperature, or anything related.
