Thanks for both of your responses. Wather: I was able to install KDE Connect, but can't get it to work properly. First, it didn't want to paid the phone with the computer. Then, wanting to browse the phone's files on the computer, it starts up an app called Cervisia on the computer, which...

Bump. Anyone?

Bump! Anyone?

When I first bought my Zenfone 2, it was a delight. I would unlock and log in. I could tap the microphone (or say OK, Google depending on where I was) and simply say something like "Play Beatles" or whatever group or composer I wanted to hear, and there is was almost immediately. I think it used...

My Zenfone 2 is rather new. I've been able to take photos and video, record voice and so on. So my question is how can I transfer these files to my desktop? I saw one reference to an app that did this, but it was for Windows. My desktop is Linux (specifically Ubuntu). I tried to use the USB...

I think there's success here. I went to the tracfone URL and got the APN settings, put them into the Zenfone. The instructions were a bit ambiguous at points, but I was able to muddle through them. Rebooted and it worked. Now, when Wifi is off and Cellular Data is on, I get a small box with...

Yes, this is triple minutes (60 x 3): 180 minutes for phone, 180 texts and 180 MB data. I actually have >1200 MB data balance. Checked again: 1. Wifi off 2. Cellular Data On below that, under Cellular Networks: Data enabled (allow data usage) is on. Data Roaming is off (does that matter) 3...

It's not working like that. I turned the Wifi off and made sure the Cellular Data button was on. The Wifi bars went away, but nothing to indicate the cell data, i.e., no 4G. But then I thought, let's try to browse, so I pulled up the browser and tried a few basic pages. I get "Webpage not...

I turned the cellular data on (the icon appears in blue when on), but nothing like 3G, 4G or the others appeared. But the Wifi signal is strong and I can easily access web sites. I check the tracfone data usage widget and no data has been used yet.

I meant - for the cellular data - a status indicator on the home page, or perhaps on the top line with the other small icons. There is a 4-bars indicator, but that probably just means the reception is good and not if the cellular data is turned on or off. Again, thank you.

Thanks for your reply. I assume you mean the "Cellular Data" button on the Quick Settings page. nice, but it would be nicer if there was a status indicator on the home page. :) Is there a similar button for phone? When I make phone calls, I get a pop-up screen "Complete action using Phone ...

I just purchased a Zenfone 2 ZE551ML and so far I really like it. I expect to use the phone mostly at home, to augment my landline. Except when I will be traveling out-of-town, I do not expect to use the phone or data when outside. I had the phone for two weeks before I even bought a phone...
