Hi all I bought the Zenfone 9 when it first came out and about a year and a half in I somehow scratched the fingerprint reader. This basically broke the entire fingerprint sensor so it really kind of ruined the phone for me. I recently bought a refurbished Zenfone 9 with a working fingerprint reader and wanted to see if anyone has ever put a a screen protector type of thing on the fingerprint reader. I kind of feel like you would have to make it custom because I've never seen anything searching for it but just curious.

I got this case two days ago and I really like it for ZenFone 10, also the texture. I wonder if thicker edges really do the job but I'm not planning to test it.

My only issue is uncovered power button, I don't use any other features of it other than simply pressing it so I'd prefer full cover. Is there any case with covered power button at all? Couldn't find any

Long story short:

Zenfone 10 I am on android 13, and the android 14 update got installed, the device asked for a reboot, but because want to stay in Android 13, i forced close the "update"system" application, and erased the data aswell So now apparently the update isn't installed Can i reboot the device or am i screwed?

Can i check anything to know if im safe or...?

Thanks in advance, I don't expect anyone to have gone through this exact scenario, but before I reboot may as well ask here

I've set apps to be able to run in the background, turned off background app management, enabled the "secret" unrestricted setting, and even locked the relevant tasks (whatever that does)

and yet still, apps are consistently reloading.

no idea how to proceed

Good day all. I would like to know if anyone shares the same problem as me. Does your Zenfone 10 happen to unlock when it's in your pocket and just decides to go crazy...opening random apps, calling your contacts, sharing staff and things like that?

So I currently have Google pixel 4a. Love this phone, it is small, fast, fingerprint on the back and everything. Unfortunately google relled out mandatory update in the begining of January 2025 that was supposed to reduce battery capacity and stop fast charging. I put my phone in developer settings, to stop this update, sadly somehow it updated last weekend and my battery is really bad since.

I really dont want to buy huge phone and Asus Zenfone 10 is fairly small and from the reviews it looks like a great phone. What put me of is the software support, since I do want my phone to last. My other option is Google pixel 8, because i like it visually, unlike the pixel 9. Some of you may suggest Samsung galaxy S24 or some other Samsung, but I cannot stand their UI.

Any advice is appreciated.

e.g. youtube getting killed after being in the background (while still playing the video) after a few minutes, and discord in the background getting killed while youre still in call

Hi guys,

Dropped the phone and the sim was no longer detected.

Switched to second slot and it worked.

Dropped it again a few weeks later and now it's not detected even in the second slot.

Opened the phone, cables are still connected to the reader board.

Should I replace the board?

It's not easy to find the 10 reader board where I live, but I can source the 9 reader board.

Anyone know if the 9 sim reader board is compatible with the 10? They look the same...

as the title states, the zenfone 11 has a bug with the headphone jack where the music will randomly stop due to the headphones suddenly disconnecting which would prompt you to unplug the wire and plug it in again to play. ive asked the mods on asus forums to help an they need proof/logs of this. can someone comment in the following link and back up the claim of this bug if possible?

My trusty Zenfone 9 is showing signs of getting old (like being really slow all of a sudden and needing a reboot to work again), so I've just bought a 10. There's virtually no other small phone on the market, so I figure I'd just buy the same but more recent.

I've transfered my data to the new one, I've used Asus Phone Clone app, and... my screen layout and appearance settings didn't transfer ? I get when switching between brands there could be some issus, but it's almost the same phone !

Did anyone solve this ?

Thanks :)

Anyone had any luck with unlocking the bootloader on ZS630KL ? Any news of unofficial unlock tool?

Official apks from ASUS don't work for some reason, checked 3

So my phone is in bad shape. Its WiFi isn't working anymore, and it has a bug with the recording sometimes it destroys videos/audio. I am scared ordering a new one and having same or other issues / there are better cameras today, and I can't think of any other phone, because it is very important for me to monitor my camera as a selfie.

Since upgrading my Zenfone 10 to Android 15, every photo I take with where the focus is more than about 6 feet away is blurry—except for the very left side of the image. This does not affect the wide angle or front cameras. It also doesn't matter if I'm in AF or MF modes.

Has anyone else run into this issue?

The case that came with my Zenfone 10 finally broke. What are some good replacements? I'd like the devil case, but it looks like ASUS doesn't make it anymore

Since a couple of days I have a very annoying issue with my Zenfone 10.

When I get a call, my ringtone works so I know i'm being called but the screen doesn't show anything. So unless I have a bluetooth headset on I can't answer the call. The second after the ringing stops, I see the call being added to my call-history as missed.

Does anyone know what the problem is here and what can be done about it?

I'm quite happy with the phone (i have it since september 24) but before sometimes calls wouldn't come in, however this only happened sometimes. But now I know i'm being called but the phone shows nothing??? And it seems to be consistent everytime i'm being called now.

Is it still available after the update?

I just got a Zenfone 10 and I am getting a request to reboot every single morning because of firmware updates. Is this normal?

Edit: Resolved! Thanks guys. I think I've finally caught up.

After updating my zenfone 10 to android 15, I now get some system notifications in what seems to be Arabic. My phone is set to English, and has been since the day I bought it. I've never changed the language, live in northern Europe so it wouldn't be some location based issue, and don't speak Arabic. Anyone else encountered a similar issue? This is very weird...

EDIT: screenshot in the comments

Hi guys. Since the update, I can't use ADB commands. The command window simply doesn't recognise my phone. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling both ADB and drivers, changing cable, changing port...the computer recognises the phone as I can still transfer data, etc. Just ADB that doesn't.

Any ideas? I was trying to use ADB to remove the floating rotate screen button that was added in the latest update.

EDIT: Solution per u/TheSlowZone: "After plugging in phone, setting 'USB preferences' > 'Use USB for' > 'No data transfer'. ADB immediately saw the device afterwards."

Hello! I just want to ask how's the performance of Zenfone 10 on Android 15. If you could give an in-depth review of Android 15 in terms of:

• camera updates (if there ever were),
• bypass charging (I've seen a post here in reddit and asus community site that bypass charging doesn't work in game genie and/or while gaming),
• battery performance (is it better than Android 14? Just the same? or got worse?),
• UI (ZenUI),
• any bugs that you found that weren't on Android 14?
• others that you'd like to add about Android 15 that you think got better or worse.

Thank you!

Are the speakers on ZF 7/8 better or worse compared to phones like the Sony 1 III? Can any bass (low end frequencies like on iPhones/ROG phones) be heard?

I have had Motorolas all my life and have decided I want something (for a lack of a better term) good. but although I've heard stuff about the DAC will it still have Dolby Atmos like Moto g???

I use a lot background apps, sometimes brave browser, tiktok or others, just to listen to something, so I then lock the phone. Before everything was ok, I was able to disable battery optimization for those specific apps manually. But now, the apps are being closed (tiktok is just closing the background live after few seconds or a minute, brave web apps disconnect etc..)

Am I the only one having these issues? No way to downgrade I guess right? It's a really bad issue for me as I use my phone a lot in the background :-(

Is it possible to unlockbootloader and root asus zenfone 8?
