MM MEC23U - Asus ZenWatch 2

I just got my ZW2 a couple of days ago, is it a good idea to uprgrade from LCB51 to MM? I am concerned about problems and battery life. Any one regret MM?

My zenwatch actually, and honestly performs better since the update. Plus the speaker is a neat albeit useless feature unless you like to talk to people using your watch. But my battery does last longer then before.

The speaker is pretty bad, but it does work in a pinch - like when you are driving and left your phone in your pants pocket.
As for the update, yes. It is a significant improvement in every way.

I do not care for using the watch for phone calls any ways, can it be turned off. Another thing I did not like about MM on my Sony SW3, is it was easy to accidentally put the phone and watch in blocking mode, it never happened with LL? Does accidental blocking mode MM happen on the ZW2?
Thanks

Yes, this happened on my ZW2 after the update. I had to turn off gestures to stop it.

So the upgrades went well. I am getting close to 60 hours of battery out of the watch, I am now at M6E69N.
Thanks for the replies

Major lagging and freezing up issues

I've had the device a little less than a week and while I love the buid of the device the lags, screen sensitivity issues and freezes are driving me crazy. Are others experiencing the issues? Thus one is definitely going back.
Occasional freeze when trying to unlock the screen. No lag issues though.

The occasional "freeze" when trying to unlock the screen is not a freeze, it's the touchscreen not responding to touches.
Just had it off for a little bit more than a week (holidays and illness) and just hooked it up to a charger and turned it on. Wow, it was unusable. Took me like 20 times to enter my pattern and then the touchscreen was not responding what so ever. This is insane. After 10mins i managed to get to the ota screen to check if there is an update, sadly i'm already on the latest, is there a way to "fix" the touchscreen respond?
Did you already do a factory reset?
If that doesn't help, return it.
I must be lucky, since I don't those touch problems which so many in here seems to experience. That is, except during the very first time I set it up. It was really bad, but never showed since. My guess was/is that some storage/update/cloud initialization had been going on in the background.

Did it work OK when it wasn't on the charger?
I've had various phones which disliked certain USB chargers - if I was charging with those chargers, the screen was unusable.

Mine is showing no touch issues nor any lag.
I've had two Asus device, I had the Nexus 10 before this, and this tablet is by far the smoothest and most responsive I've ever had.

I'm seeing last issues as well. After initial boot, I set up multiple profiles and immediately saw performance drops. Closing apps in other accounts doesn't remedy the problem.

Thanks, no i did not root it yet, have it quiet new and though i waste watching the free movie offered by sony first before i root it.
Also i figured i'll wait till there is a clean rom out, without the sony stuff. But probably gonna root it over the weekend, to freeze some apps etc. :good:
I'm probably going to return it and wait until the bugs have been fixed or until CyanogenMod picks it up. Super disappointed that Sony just can't seem to get their act together.

I have been struggling with the same decision. I really like the device, but the screen freezes are pissing me off, especially in comparison to my N10, with no screen freezes. After contacting Sony, I used the PC Software Companion to wipe the tablet clean and reset everything, but the tablet performs only marginally better, and I don't even use the Stamina Mode. I really want to wait for Sony to send out a software update to make this device zoom.

Try swiping left and right if your device freezes. With my Z2 (third defect LTE one in a row), this quite often solves the problem for a while.
Switching off the screen for a second, then back on also helps in many situations.

Honestly, what bothers me more than anything is the fact that they couldn't get it working flawless on day 1 considering they took 6 months to release it stateside. Coupled with the fact that this is the wifi version and has zero carrier specific apps that could slow it down, this just leaves me confused and as you said, pissed. CyanogenMod needs to pick this up.
Last night I decided that I was going to send my Z2 back to Sony and request a refund. Any screen freezes on a new device that is as expensive as this was getting to me. This morning I decide to play a few rounds of Dead Trigger 2 on my Nexus 10. I never had a problem with gameplay on the N10, that is until today after being accustomed to my Z10. They're not even close in performance or color saturation. Now, as fare as the speakers are concerned, the N10 is better, hands down.
I guess I can live with the screen issues which really are not that bad. I will be keeping my Z2, at least until the LG G Pad 10.1 is available. Hopefully the freeze issues are fixed soon.

Has anyone rooted their non-LTE version yet?
I updated mine(SGP511) to 17.1.1.A.0.402 and it solved the touch screen lag problems for me wifi only version US.
It does require installing the companion app on a computer to do the update, if you haven't received anything OTA.

Question about Vibration Strength

Hey everyone,
How is the vibration strength for notifications on the new Moto 360?
I've got an Huawei Watch and I love it, but the vibration strength is pretty weak IMO. A lot of times, I hear the vibration rather than feel it.
If it's stronger on the new Moto360, I may switch.
Thanks!

Hello there,
I got mine yesterday, I am loving so far. The vibration was one of my worries, and I am glad to say it is ok, not great but ok. I have not tried the Huawei but I have heard the exact same comments over and over that you could actually hear it but not feel the vibration. I can assure you that this is not the case with the new Moto 360. I have tried deferent notifications, and I clearly felt them with a subtle noise, I have tried it in my pocket as well and felt them too!
it would have been nice if you can control the intensity, but may be for the next update.
Thanks.

Thanks for the answer - I had been wondering about this too. Can you also comment on the mic sensitivity - how close do you have to hold it to your mouth for it to pick you up? Does it consistently pick you up correctly? I'm trying to decide between the Moto 360 42mm and the Huawei and have heard that the Huawei mic is a bit hit and miss. For example, Lisa from MobileTechReview had difficulty getting it to pick her up in her review - see it here: https://youtu.be/H_ISBzY96M0?t=5m43s
EDIT: Also curious how long charging from empty or almost empty to 100% takes on the wireless charger.

From my initial test yesterday, it is indeed a hit or miss. I had to repeat couple of times to get it right. It was always confusing breath with Breeze or What's up with Whatsapp where I was trying to send a whatsapp message with voice command. But honestly that was within my expectation, especially with 'tricky' words or commands.
I will do another test tonight and see, I will also check wither I have to hold it closely to my mouth, it was natural to get it closer every time I used it!

Will test that too. The watch had around 70% when I opened it. it took a while to fully charge but it was going through the initial setup.

It took almost 2 hours to charge from dead to 100%! way much more than expected. The good news is that it charged almost 50% in the 1st half hour. Anyway, i will be charging it overnight from now on, so its no biggy.
i currently have both watches and the moto vibrator is stronger. and i keep my watches relatively tight so they dont slide around and the huawei is definitely weaker. i can see how people who keep it loose may not feel it.

Thanks - is there any way to turn off the display, or the entire watch, while charging? Just thinking this might speed up the process, and reduce heat build-up. I seem to remember reading that there is a setting in the developer options in Android Wear for this.
Thanks for the feedback, everyone. I'm still on the fence on this one because I really like the Huawei. I'm going to go to Best Buy and check out the Moto in person.

I'm in the same position as you, but I don't have anywhere local to go and see these watches. I had actually settled on the Huawei and made my decision, but with reading over the past few days, watching video reviews and asking some questions on forums I've now swung in completely the opposite direction and am back to buying a Moto 360 42mm again!
I decided to stick with the Huawei. I just like the look of it better especially the ambient screen. My issue was small and really hasn't proven to be a big deal. Thanks again everyone for your feedback!

I was curious about the vibration strength as well.. I think my V20 has a weaker vibration motor so I seem to miss a lot of SMS messages and calls... my hope was if I get a watch, i'll be able to easily feel the vibration on my wrist... I read a few people saying the vibration was weak.. but seems to be on here most say its decent. Thanks!

Interesting note about lag with always on screen..

So as many of you noticed, our 360 2nd gen lags like crazy and is not fluid when always on screen is on.
what i've noticed is that it did this a lot when my note 4 was on 5.0.1...but then i downgraded to 4.4.4 kitkat, and it stopped. for like a full week of always on screen, my 360 never lagged when it was on. it was always just as fluid with that nice 60fps animation style.
then i put 5.0.1 back, and bam, lag city. now i just got the 5.1.1 update for it, so i'll see if it lags, but yeah, it's very interesting that the android version was what was causing lag for me anyway.
anyone else's thoughts?
Mine lags regardless.
I am quite disappointed with my moto 360 because of the lag. I chose the 360 over the Gear S2 because of Android wear figuring that there would be more apps and watch faces available for android wear. But now im starting to wish I had gone with the Gear. Next to other smart watches my Moto looks very jerky. Ive seen 1st generation smart watches with a lot less lag. Really hope Moto can fix this soon or I'm gonna sell it and get a Gear
so, mine isn't lagging on always on screen on 5.1.1. it did for like an hour. then after doing theatre mode a few times, it stopped. now it's as smooth as always with always on screen. weird.

dude, I felt the same way last year. last January android wear didn't seem too refined so i went with the gear 2. it was great, but tizen wasn't that smooth either. it worked well though. then I flashed wear to it and liked it a lot so i got the 360. I don't use the gear as much anymore.

Reports like this make me still stay away from the M360 even though I really like how it looks and the basic idea of it.
Seems like Smartwatches are still in kindergarden. Either looking like horrible shoeboxes or are lagging like crazy.
Thought I'd really like the idea of developing a kernel for it and see if it could be improved or not.

there has to be, because it's a problem where it's a power saving mode that's kicked in 100% of the time with always on screen, but turning theatre mode on and off will fix it. for example, i can go forever without lagging with always on screen, but it seems if i disconnect from phone, like i walk away, then come back, and i get a notification, that might send it into that lag mode. then i have to turn theater mode on then off for it to be fine again. it's really weird. certain things trigger it.
Im finding that even doing the theatre mode toggle isn't fixing it now. Gonna have to try a factory reset, really not happy with my m360 2015

I totally agree with Chap on Reddit. After unistalling MotoBody from the pone and disabling Motobody on watch as well, then rebooting. Watch's behavior is completely different. Now is faster tan before, zero lags and everything work fine.
Thanks Chap
I'm gonna try to disable it and enable google fit.. just sucks you need fit on watch and phone to get heart rate working.. whereas you don't need body on phone for it to work.

I don't think that it's a memory leak. It should be a bug in the power saving routine in the kernel, because it totally makes sense to lower the refresh rate on ambient mode. It looks like it sometimes doesn't ramp up the refresh rate again when the screen goes on. We just can hope that it's fixed with the marshmallow ota or we are doomed as Moto (Lenovo) doesn't care.

Great find. :good: So they cared and have just not responded with the correct answer: "It will be fixed with an upcoming update". They should work at their communication with their customers

Future z5c owner with a question

Hello all,
I've used a z5c for a short time a while ago and my experience with it was downright terrible. It was overheating, getting annoyingly warm while doing basic tasks, whenever I got under 15% there was an annoying red light in my face, there was an orange light always on in the night when it was charging, and then the screen shattered from the tiniest drop. The battery life was also poor, despite it being great on paper. Anyway,
Did the (marshmallow) system updates fix the terrible heating situation?
Is there a rom out there that fixes the heating issues?
Is it in anyway possible to disable those lights?
I'm planning on buying a new one (with tempered glass protectors) if these things are possible.
Thanks in advance for answering!

The .224 update brought new life to the z5c but it still has all of its usual flaws. Overheating is still an issue, I regularly see temps in the 140*f range but it is a major improvement over the 170+ from lollipop. The battery lights are all able to be disabled so long as your rooted, I don't see how they're an issue though, every phone I've ever had has had them and I prefer them. Battery life is improved drastically. I used to not make it 4 hours before going dead on lollipop,now I can make it through a whole workday.
Also note that I've never tried the official build of marshmallow or the kernel. I went from lollipop straight to xpower ROM and androplus kernel.
I am currently on Marshmallow, there is still overheating issues. In fact, I'm just on facebook and its getting a little warm. If you're in hot countries too it can be quite a problem, I live in England so it isn't as bad, everything is always cold so I can literally just place my phone on something cold like a desk and it will just be back to normal temp, but then obviously increase again lol.
Yes lights can be disabled with root.
Cyanogenmod13 actually disabled unnecessary stuff, and actually stopped it from overheating multiple times. However, cons of CM13 is that the camera doesnt work etc..
Im on marshmallow and the phone got alot better but **** these sony phones bro. Think you might be better of with a other brand because this z5c will be my last sony for a loooooong time.

Question ZF9 - I love it so far, but...

First time I got a phone right after launch. My OnePlus 3T, whom I still dearly love, has started to give up on crucial tasks so I had to look around for a new phone after 5+ years.
After pinning the OnePlus 10 Pro against the Pixel 6 Pro and spending way too much time debating whose weaknesses would be more tolerable, I discovered the Zenfone 9.
Been using it for a few days now and loving it so far. Cameras are Pixel-like (haven't tried any GCams yet, that should make them even better), battery life is amazing, software is clean (RIP OxygenOS), speakers are quite good, charging speed is decent enough. I thought I'd lost the three-finger snapshot and double power tap for opening apps, but both are present in this phone as well.
Only the double tap on the back to open an app is wildly inconsistent and frustrating to use. Is that just me?
Besides that, everything's looking swell so far. Excited to see what the community will come up with for this one, especially after two years when the software updates are supposed to stop coming.
Cheers!

Yeah, I've also noticed the inconsistent back double-tap feature. It seems to register more often when the phone is unlocked, perhaps due to power-saving features. You could instead use the double-click on the power button to open the app you want it to.
Also, does anyone have a loose volume rocker? Mine rattles when shaking the phone around or when it vibrates on the table.

Oh damn. Didn't notice until you mentioned it. Hopefully it won't become an issue further down the line.
I think the double tap on the back is intentionally set to only register when the phone is unlocked. Otherwise there'd be too many accidental triggers.
You're lucky, I'm still waiting for my order

I would not call it loose, it moves a bit but no rattle.
Very distinct press so no issue for me.
The slight movement is needed for function.

Did you guys get the global or UK edition? I'm in the UK and just ordered the 16/256 version in black. But people are selling the global edition which comes with various ram amounts in 8-12-16 which gives people the option. Is the global made elsewhere to the UK version, does anyone know?
I have the swedish edition, not sure where its made
How's the battery? How long the phone works after 100% charged?
Battery life is very good, best i ever had in a smaller phone. Getting 10 hours screen on
How are the haptic feedbacks? Good quality? Sharp?

Been using it for a few days now and loving it so far. Cameras are Pixel-like (haven't tried any GCams yet, that should make them even better), battery life is amazing, software is clean (RIP OxygenOS), speakers are quite good, charging speed is decent enough. I thought I'd lost the three-finger snapshot and double power tap for opening apps, but both are present in this phone as well.
Cheers!

Have you noticed any overheating issues while charging, video recording etc...?
How is the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 performance overall? Geekbench 5 score?
Thanks!
