[Q] Cellular Data keeps turning OFF and ON - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello there everybody!
I just recently bought an ASUS ZE551ML 4GB from Taiwan. I came across some small software bugs (that may be fixed in a later version), but what I found pretty "nasty" is a weird interruption of the Cellular Data Connection. The phone uses the new 2.12.40.11 software version (no updates made) & runs inside Europe. Did anyone else come across this issue?
Thanks!
Miron

Me too with 2GB version, hope asus fix this battery draining issue

Get phone repaired in foreign country

Hey folks,
I bought my m9 a couple of months ago from a telstra store in Darwin, Australia but since I'm German I went back to Germany permanently. Now that I'm having trouble with my phone - the vibrator isn't working anymore, seems to be a common issue - I'd like to gather information on how to make use of my warranty here in Germany. Before I left Australia I went to a phone store again asking them about warranty and I was assured that HTC gives one year of global warranty which is independent of the current country.
Is there anyone here who had to deal with a similar situation? I know I could just contact HTC Germany but I'd like to some knowledge before Already.
Cheers Max

Curious

I'm confused, I recently bought the ZenFone 2 ZE551ML and it clearly is the Chinese version as it has CN on the box and the inside plastic cover is written Chinese too. What I do not get is my firmware which is the ww version out of the box. It clearly reads on the packaging ZenFone 2 Z00ADB and ZE551ML which I'm sure is the Chinese version. I have updated to the latest ww firmware which I got off the ASUS website with no problems occurring. I'm just curious as to whether my device may be dodgy or not and was wondering what experienced owners/users think.
Did not see the other q&a thread so delete this one if you need to.
Where did you buy it from? If from a Chinese vendor they often load the ww firmware on the phone before shipping, the only difference is that if in the states or Canada or Mexico you won't get the 4G/LTE bands, there are a number of people here at xda who are trying to resolve that problem.

It was new of eBay. I believe the seller may be Chinese but it was all bought here in the UK and wasn't shipped as it was listed as UK stock. I've got no problems with the device, 4G on my EE SIM works fine. I'm just curious I've not got a dodgy device. It has a ww firmware out of the box and all the packaging is Chinese even that plastic cover around the device which highlights the specs.

Using G981B/DS in the US

Hi. I recently bought a G981B/DS from the UK for use in the US. I really like the S20 5G and needed a dual-sim phone. However, I have run into two problems:
1. 5G does not work in the US on this phone. I believe there is a problem with the bands. Is there a workaround for this problem, or am I screwed?
2. Samsung Pay on the phone appears to be locked to the UK. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling, but it just does not show US-based discounts or offers at all.
Can anybody guide me if any of these two problems can be fixed with software?
Thanks!

Question Problem with fingerprint and carrier service

I have recently purchased a LE2120 (8/256) and found that there are a few things that don't work while using oxygen stock (I have tried last 11 global and europe variants). While getting support from the retailer I really would like to know if there is anything I could do to check/fix these problems. I have tried myself to check using the *#808# menu but I don't really understand the output. Can anybody help?

Question Differences between ROG Phone 6 and ROG Phone 6 Tencent edition?

Hi, I was looking for the ROG Phone 6 in Amazon (US), and came across with 2 versions: Regular and Tencent ed. Between them there is an important price difference ($659 vs $899), and would like to know, what the differences are?.
If any user here owns Tencent version, could you please confirm if it supports Spanish language?. I saw only 1 video about it, and only had Chinese and English.
Thease are the phones:
Tencent: https://www.amazon.com/Phone-AI2201-128GB-Factory-Unlocked/dp/B0B91CS8W8
Regular: https://www.amazon.com/-/es/Teléfon...-desbloqueado-AI2201-16G512G-WH/dp/B0BC5B7XL6
Thanks for your help
I have this version, i.e. AI2201_A. Yes I can enable Spanish with various regional dialects also available. I believe mine has had the model code changed from CN to WW. I can't confirm all suppliers will do this.
I have questions myself and I haven't gotten very far with seller or ASUS.
My main question is, does the AI2201_A have 6GHz Wi-Fi soft or hard disabled? In China, 6GHz has been reserved for cellular use only. So, they would never need 6GHz Wi-Fi. I had hoped that by having the WW ROM on it, this would restore 6GHz... but it seems more like the radio has been disabled at hardware level. I'm hoping someone figures out how to re-enable it if it hasn't been burned off the board or something. From various analysis tools, the SoC is all there and the 6GHz radio should be too.
Otherwise, the differences only seem to be RAM and storage. I actually bought it to be my new DAP. I am not a gamer. I was just interested in aptX Lossless codec.
It will load the full WW ROM from asus.com but I suspect that OTA updates do not work. At least, I was not offered the October update when it shipped with July update. I was however able to manually load the full WW October 2022 downloaded from asus.com.
ASUS Support UK believes that these Global ROM-loaded AI2201_A are not officially provided by ASUS China. I'm not sure what to believe. Regardless, it works as it should. I would just like 6GHz Wi-Fi too but it's no big deal.
