lamyai3 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Yes me too, had to download the Google keyboard again. I think also the haptic feedback setting is a bit less fine tuned than before, especially on the SwiftKey keyboard I sometimes use... before I could set the level of vibration very low indeed. That's probably an issue with the app though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeekgarcia Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Can you use the Zenfone 5 as a hotspot or to get internet to a wifi tablet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draftvader Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Can you use the Zenfone 5 as a hotspot or to get internet to a wifi tablet? It is an Android phone with Wifi and 3G (or 4G for LTE versions) so "yes". It is an exceptionally well priced phone, not a gimmick. The first attempts to shoe-horn a Cyanogenmod ROM (don't get excited yet, just a couple of bored geeks) have happened so I expect to see somebody starting to offer a Zenfone 5 or 6 custom ROM release very soon.

dddave Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 After several months of use, my only complaint with the Asus Zenphone-5 (2GB/16GB) is the battery endurance. If my day starts at 8 am, with moderate usage, I'm down to 40% battery remaining by 6 pm and need to top-up if I plan on being out to a late hour. Not really an issue when I'm staying in Bangkok but I'll be concerned when I need to fly to the US or Europe. I'll be bringing along a portable battery unit for sure. I really can not understand why Asus insisted on using a non-removable battery. Does anybody have any insight into why so many manufacturers only use permanent batteries?

Have they run out of electricity in the west? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
