zf6 battery drain fast. charged 100% put on standby, go to sleep after 7 hours wake battery show 84%. WTF on standby also drain battery.

Seems like you're the first person complaining about ZF6 battery here... which spec you're using? Try installing GSAM battery monitor to see what's going on.

Most likely there's an app that's killing your battery.

Android and kernel at 10-15% is very normal bro.

Guys with Zenfone 6, if there's no big unusual app sucking your battery, you might want to check your syncing options, are your accounts syncing every 30 minutes?

Or are you using the screen continuously for a few hours in one go?

Hi all,

I'm still waiting my zenfone 6 on it's way, according to the website that i buy it shows Z2580 2.0GHZ atom. imported set.
still very afraid they gimme the Z2560 version!
very exciting of it!
a few question to all sifus.
by the way I'm almost long time iOS user since 4.0 before that i'd used symbian s60
rarely touch on android stuff. eventhough i'm a developer.(very paiseh)
1: should i root it?
2: should i update to 4.4 kitkat or stick with existing JB?
if yes for q2 ->3: what's the main reason to update 4.4?
if no  for q2 -> 3: what's the main reason i should update?
4: if i have any .apk files i can straight away install it into that phone by transfering to my microSD?
5: will the ZenUI caused troublesome?
6: is there any possibility to have split windows features?
7: I'm a sales person so what apps that whould be recommended for productivity use?
8: is there a very big different between the 600CG and 601CG for zenfone6 i mean interm of performance, daily usage, battery life and so on, I'm googling but still haven't found any review for the both comparison.

thanks a lot in advance!!!

Answers:
1. Unnecessary, unless you're going to tweak --otherwise, leave it. I think rooting voids your warranty too.
2. Just update, but seeing as some people had some issues here with SD card when they update, suggest you remove your SD card before you update and/or insert it only after you update to Kit Kat.
2.3: Kit Kat is much better OS, overall, smoother, lesser power consumption etc etc. You can google more info on this.
4: You need to enable installing other .apk files in the settings first, under Applications or Storage.
5. ZenUI is okay, some people even find their apps intuitive and productive.
6: You can download 3rd party apps like G Player (for floating videos) and more from the PlayStore.
7: I strongly recommend Google Documents, Quick Office, Google Drive (All from Google).
8: Normal usage, not much difference lah, you might even have better battery life with the slower processor. Nowdays every phone for normal usage is considered thumbup.gif already --don't worry. It's the hardcore gaming thing that's the concern if you're into that unsure.gif

Got more updates regarding the new Zenfone 2nd Series:

http://www.soyacincau.com/2014/12/17/new-a...ced-next-month/


The ones packing Intel will be priced RM1k and above cry.gif shocking.gif sweat.gif

That's a very big departure from the current models ...

They'll also have cheaper (alleged) MediaTek packing ones, but only for China market that's about RM500+


sweat.gif I think if wan save money, better sapu whatever Zenfone now before we pay RM1k lol

Pricing sure do have different ady. Looking on current zenfone mainly is budget and 2 gb ram affordable smartphone

They said there will be two different chipsets:

Intel at USD300
Mediatek (supposedly for only China market) USD150

300=RM1000 lo .. should be slightly lower lah I hope.

If Asus launcher having issues, anyone tried installing other launchers like Nova and Apex launcher to try?

If anyone here try, do share the performance and battery life using other launchers.
