    Zenfone 3 Laser now available in US and Canada

    I googled that phone, was seriously considering buying it for that price (that you quoted at $105 USD). In Canada, only place I can get this phone is amazon.ca for $378.45CAD, wheras the ZenFone 3 Laser on amazon.ca is $299.98CAD. Where did you get it for $105?? Even with exchange rate it would...

    ZenFone 3 Laser - blue dot

    I'm the OP. Just wanted to specify that the blue dot showed up when facing a bright light source, like the sun, light bulbs, etc. I returned the phone (Best Buy) and didn't get a replacement. Will wait to see if it's a one-off or production line issue.

    The "Tap to Speak" screen keeps freezing up on me

    This forum's topic is about the "Tap to Speak" issue... you seem to be talking about a different issue altogether ("any time messaging is opened and a message is sent...").

    The "Tap to Speak" screen keeps freezing up on me

    I have to admit, I'm a bit surprised that it's taking this long, Google usually is quick at releasing bug fixes, are they not?

    The "Tap to Speak" screen keeps freezing up on me

    Just chiming in that I've been experiencing the same issue on my ASUS ZenFone 2 since last week. Decided today to Google the issue, glad I'm not the only one dealing with this. Uninstalled all updates to the Google app, unchecked the auto update for now. Tested, voice dictation still working...

    Disabling bloatware.

    Oh man thanks for this post, even if it's a month old. I bought my ZenFone 2 the day it was available and tried to uninstall all that ASUS stuff right away. I never bothered trying again. Now I did and removed almost all of them.

    What are you doing with all 64GB?

    What I'm doing with all 64GB? Not worrying about how much storage I'm using is what I'm doing. ;-) Seriously, I use Google Play and download a lot of music locally for offline listening.

    Not too sure how to go about that, I've shorten .wav files before but I'll check it out, thanks.

    Personal ringtone issue?

    So if I pick a stock ringtone, when the phone rings, the normal behavior is the ringtone will ring twice then pause and then ring twice again and pause, and so on and so on. With my personalized ringtone file, it rings nonstop without pausing and it's quite annoying. Has anyone else experienced...

    My Impressions of the Asus Zenfone 2

    I thought I would have issues with having the buttons at the back as well. As it turns out, it is the best placement for them I really enjoy not accidentally pushing the buttons while holding my phone.

    Battery Glitch?

    Had the weirdest thing happen last night with the battery. It was charged at about 85 percent, and I plugged in the power cable. About an hour later, I came back to check the phone, and the battery had actually gone down to about 75 percent. I let it go, and when I went to bed, it was down to 73...

    ASUS Zenfone 2 : Camera Pictures

    For each of these pictures, the top one is all automatic settings, the middle one is with optimization turned off, and the bottom one is HDR. I'm running firmware 2.17.40 (received this morning). This one is much better with HDR. Between Optimization auto/off, the top one seems better to me...
