I find the ZF6 pretty good and smooth with hardly any lags. However, the cons are :
1) Poor GPS. Slow to get a lock in my car and loses signal easily. 2l Slow camera. Takes a second or so before another pic can be taken in non turbo mode. 3) Video recording is choppy I have upgraded to Kitkat. |

Of course it is. 3 steps just unlock the phone is cumbersome.
Press the on off button, swipe and then draw pattern... Think Asus made a booboo in this aspect. QUOTE(Crimson_SoulZ @ Oct 17 2014, 01:30 PM) I'm still giggling at how the swipe/slide to unlock and then having to put your pattern is considered as an annoyance. I personally like it as it feels much closer to my old and already gone Iphone 4. In other news, I've been pushing my Zen5 to the limit by handling media group in my college as a photographer last week. I've used my phone as a camera to take pictures of the event, and I am very happy with the quality of the images that I took. Besides the fact that the phone's temperature skyrocketted, it managed to survive 5+ hours of picture taking alone. Oh and the video recording is still rather poop at weird/low lighting condition. Major annoyances still.  |

Yup, the GPS really sucks after updating to KK
 Even worse when using Google Maps. Current location can be way off especially when driving. Horrible ! QUOTE(tsg_7 @ Nov 2 2014, 04:37 PM) Anyone having gps issue after update to kit kat? Zen6 user here |

QUOTE(i1u4ever @ Dec 15 2014, 10:32 PM) almost instant lock if you set to high accuracy. It's terrible with mine when used in a car. Loses signal easily and hard to regain it. |

My Zenfone 6 gets updates from Google Play very often for the native Asus apps. For this I have to commend Asus for their continuous efforts to improve and upgrade !

Just found out that by double clicking the volume button up or down while in standby mode will activate the camera on my ZF 6.

QUOTE(cleaner @ Feb 21 2015, 11:02 AM) Sorry cannot help much...btw i'm using gps test to check my gps I also have a lot of problems with my ZF6's GPS. I think the GPS chip is very weak. It is very difficult to get a lock while in the car but no problems when used outside. It also loses signal very easily and hard to regain lock. Not sure if the type of screen tinting used in the car is the culprit.Have tried GPS Data, GPS Test and other apps to reset the sensors but it doesn't really help. Perhaps mid range phones come with inferior GPS chips unlike high end models. This is the conclusion I come to. This post has been edited by funguss: Feb 21 2015, 11:33 AM |
