Just updated my phone to firmware 316. Done re-root and cam2api.

I have to say the camera has improved slightly but Gcam still produces better picture by a hair margin. In terms of depth effects, Asus do a better job cause Gcams uses only 1 lens to achieve the bokeh effects.

Will test tonight to see if have the deep sleep hang issue.

Update: Multi-touch issue seems to be resolved. Will need test later tonight to be conclusive.

You go to KFC everyday?

This issue exist in all Android 8.1, so Asus fixed it which is good and shows their commitment to making the phone better. Does RN5 have this issue still or already fixed by Xiaomi?

2-3 days for normal usage.

No such things at best of the best. It all depends on what you want with your phone. Price, performance, camera, design, android, gps and so on.

For now, no. This year? Definitely no. Mi Max 2 is coming with 5500mAH battery. There are other phone like Umidigi or other unknown brand that comes with 9000mAH battery.

Do you have a screenshot of the apps that uses the 5hr ouf your SOT?

Build No. : 15.2016.1805.318
Update Size : 66.8 MB

Changelog :
1. Strengthen system stability.
2. Enhance camera stability.

A2 lite is using SD625. Xiaomi just want to get rid of their massive stocks of SD625. Performance of SD625 is half of SD636. I won't recommend anyone to go for SD625 now unless they really do not care about performance.

Go claim for warranty. Sounds like lemon unit.

50% brightness is kinda bright yo?

I always turn off auto-brightness and my brightness is almost set at minimum. Probably like 5% brightness. That is already plenty bright for me. LOL...

My latest battery usage.



More than 70% are gaming.

ZF 5z is a very good alternative to OnePlus 6. While it is still a bit lacking compared to OnePlus 6, it is still a very good phone for it's price.

I am back from trip! Used this phone as main driver during the trip. Really a good phone with large battery. No need to carry powerbank. I have like 50% left at the end of the day. Done a lot of google maps and grab and browsing.

No problem with GPS. No problem with cell signal. Nice!

Mate 10 have a 4000mAH battery which is find to last for 1 day of usage. Your friend's phone is either having battery degraded issue or some apps running in the background that suck the juice.

Are you sure it is not some sort of malware running in the background?

Try to provide screenshot if possible. Also, check the apps running in the background. Install Gsam battery monitor. Looks for the AppSucker screen. It will show background running apps.

The Mi A2 officially is selling at RM1199 for the 6gb/128gb model which is really a good deal. However, I will still stick to this phone because 3gb/32gb is good enough for my usage.

After using this phone for a month, I would say overall I give it 7/10. I don't think you can buy any phone that is better than M1 at RM599.

This is Asus's pure android. Feature wise, it is like Pixel with almost no extra stuffs. All the extra features can be installed from play store. If you prefer all these modded android like MIUI, Touchwiz, ColorOS and so on then M1 (or pure android) is not for you. Having said that. Secure folder feature can get app like secure folder or folder lock or so on.

Why don't you install the toaster app to detect which app is causing the message? Once done, you can remove the toaster app if you want.

I got something similar that arrive just 2 days ago!! Everything look the same except mine have edge bump to protect against drops.

Got it in aliexpress for RM7. Waited 1 month for it to arrive.
