Incompatible Apps? - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anybody else finding apps that are incompatible with this phone? So far on my CN model, I have had issues with a few video streaming apps:

My big problem is MixCloud.
It will play for between 5 -20 minutes, then it will crash. Sometimes the phone re-starts (full reboot), other times the phone will freeze, and only respond to a long hold of the power button to restart it, other times the app just closes, and sometimes the music just stops and can be restarted by hitting play.
These things only happen to my phone when MixCloud is running.

Well, at the end I was able to find a copy of WPS Office 7.x.apk in one of my backups of another device. I could install easily this version on my Zenfone 2 550ML with firmware 2.19.40.13.
So the bug is on WPS Office v. 8.0.

Sorry for bumping the post, but 酷我音乐 (a Chinese music app) isn't working well. It does work, but using very high cpu load. Whenever it's running in the background, not even playing songs, two cores are locked at max frequency. When downloading, all cores are at max with around 60% cpu load. Compared to the older Galaxy Note 2, there are no such issue on the Note 2.
Snapchat too, once I launch it, all cpu on max until I remove it from recent apps then turns back to normal

Anybody else try these apps so far, and if so what were your findings?
Maybe we can also keep a running list on this thread as well to keep clutter to a minimum? I will try to update this first post as often as I can to try to keep a running record that you won't have to scroll through multiple posts.
Thanks all for any other feedback.
After updating from 2.14 to 2.19, Xfinity to go and Watch TNT work. Haven't tried the Fox or ABC apps yet.

wow thanks for posting. these are pretty vital apps

My question is WHY do this apps fail? Is it because of the Intel processor, graphics chipset, missing application or handler for the video, or is it just something stupid.

Mortal Kombat X fails. All of my other apps work fine so far.

I'd love to know that as well. This is my main reason for ebaying my ZF2 and considering going with a LG G2 instead of a US ZF2. I really love the phone (coming from a Nexus 4 who wouldn't?) but while not having LTE is not a deal breaker not having my streaming apps properly working is.

Can someone confirm the working of Modern Combat 4... Modern combat 5 works well...

G2 has its issues as well, I have one for a work phone... The lollipop update cut my battery life in half, even after a factory reset, and the GPS is pathetic, if I can get better than 30 meter accuracy its a great day, my Nexus 4 would do 3 meter accuracy in seconds, and the lock screen flat out infuriates me.

Damn, that's disappointing. Most people seem to love the G2. I'm sure LG will fix that faster than Asus will fix any ZF2 issues though, or I'm hoping so. If the video streaming apps I regularly use worked I would have kept the phone, or would be swooping in on the US version now. Maybe it's time to look at the $315 GS5 although I'm not sure that I want to. Having the ZF2 for only two or three weeks, it's not easy going back to the screen size of the N4. Even my wife's GS4 feels small. I know the G2 is still smaller than the ZF2... but compared to the N4 only marginally so.

Thanks for checking in! Wifi and signal strength were both strong. I've tried these listed apps after several updates and after rooting a few times. Could have been a one-off issue with my particular phone?

Rhapsody doesnt work. I have 2 Taiwanese WW versions. Boots up, but once I sign in (or anyone else), it just crashes. I stream all day at work, so its a necessity. Anyone with the North America version have a different outcome? Thanks.

Motorola touchless control APK

Here's a link to check it out. Not sure if it works. If anybody wants to test out the APK, please report back with your results.
Thanks but the app is only installable on the ULTRA, MAXX, Mini, and Moto X.
it installs without problems, but doesn't appear in appdrawer, and playstore says it's incompatible with the One
I have installed the .apk, but can't start it, as it isn't present as an actual app. I think, we also need the settings app directly from the Moto X/Droid Series, in order to be able to set up the actual touchless cotrols app.
Application installed just fine on my Telus Galaxy S3 with CM10.2. Added the activities shortcut through Nova Launcher. Tried to launch each activity but it just crashed.
Rebooted and continuous errors.
There's something unique in Motorola's framework similar to TouchWiz/Sense etc. I know this is the HTC One forums, but I felt like trying it out
lol i like how the OP post an apk wants people to test but it too scared to test it himself
wont work...but
why not try something that really works (touchless gesture that is)

i've got the air gestures half working (screen on, scroll through browser etc) gonna try and get the rest working later on...
as for motorola touchless control apk it will never work without the motorola chip inside
Touchless controls is going to require a Motorola Phone. It requires a specific low-core processor that allows the phone to be constantly listening, if we kept the mic in our phones on 24/7 without Motorola's specific hardware, our battery would die in 1 hour.

Talking of Tom Cruise, he's like Sense 5. Remember the sense on our desire? Sense 5 looks just like that. I wonder how mimi Rogers looks like standing next to him today.

I was at work and couldn't download it and play with it. I have since tried it (it failed for me too), and have done some more digging. Apparently, the Moto X has a core in it's processor made to do just this. We do not have that core. Looks like this is a lost cause...
Stop saying core! It's a DSP, noting 'core' about that. .
But yes, this is useless without that chip. There is a app on play store that does the same thing and you can even set the wake phrase ('Jarvis!'). Haven't tried it so I cannot comment on battery, but I'm sure it uses quite a bit.

Nexus 5
Is this going to be able to work with the nexus 5 because is has the same snapdragon 800 or will it still struggle? So disappointed the nexus 5 doesn't feature some of the moto x impressive features like touchless control and amazing battery. Otherwise it is a great phone!

Didn't anybody tell you? We're obliged to mess around with our phones, edit build.props, you know, stuff that could render our devices as, well.....paperweights really, just so the op can laugh at our expense.
How about OP, you install on your device, if it doesn't work....bad times, if it does work, post a solution. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it!

Battlefield 4 Commander App broken?

I can't get it to load into any servers on my new 8.4. The app will load and I can select a server but then it just hangs at a black screen forever. I've tried letting it pick servers and I've selected a server through Battlelog and get the same result either way. I've tried on different wifi networks too so it isn't a network issue. Anyone else run into this or am I the only loser wasting time playing Commander at work lol

It doesn't work for me either, it's a tablet specific issue for us, as it works just fine on my Nexus 5.
I sit at the black screen too, I think it may be a resolution issue but I'm not 100%, the thread with the apk on here explains a bit more on how to fix the black screen issue but it's for phones running, but I assume it would work for our tablet as well but I'm not running a rom so no Xposed framework to edit the obb.

Resolution To High For GPU

I've just purchased this phone and overall I like it. One thing I think is holding this beast back is the resolution. The GPU seems to seriously struggle - it's even noticeable when switching apps, navigating the settings, etc. It just seems like it doesn't have quite enough grunt.
Is anyone else experiencing a similar thing?
I was using an Xperia Z2 earlier today and everything seemed far more fluid and smooth. I'm honestly considering selling my 2 day old G3 and switching to a Z2.

I agree, and never freeze anything that you don't know the function of. It can happen accidentally, but I've learned from my mistakes.

Multi touch issues with 8.1 in FPS games

Is anyone else having multitouch issues with FPS games. I have tested this on Guns of Boom and Dead trigger 2 the multitouch responses will randomly go crazy and I cannot control the aim especially in guns of boom, it's not as bad in Dead trigger 2 but still there. This was not present in 8.0.
Google is aware of the issue and there are also multiple reports with the latest 8.1 release.
https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/68724748
Google is aware.
Deleted duplicate post.
Any update on this ,
Bump nevertheless
Seriously , no one bothered to reply back,
Nothing seems to be happening on that issue tracker page as well . Should this be raised in Google product forums ,
Why is this thing not being taken seriously , if one goes to the issue tracker page , then one will know that all pixel 2 devices suffer from it
https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/68724748
Please star this more recent report. The one listed here is for the developer preview and they "deferred it to a future release".
https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/70344455
Google appears to have drivers for 8.0 that should fix the issue but I am not sure how to install. https://developers.google.com/android/drivers
A custom 8.1 ROM may do the trick.
One reason I bought this phone was to not run a custom ROM, yet still get frequent updates. Google needs to fix this, quick!

I'm back on 8.0 as well. I wish they'd hurry up and fix this. Shouldn't have to run an older release on a brand new phone for it to function properly.
Issue touching other devices too... I'm on Android 8.1 custom ROM for OnePlus 3 and I have this problem too.
This is disappointing from Google, so much big games have been released, these are the main reason to buy a powerful phone so it would be cool to got them working.
I just noticed the touchscreen bug this week. I'm on 8.1 with the Jan. update and I just started gaming on my p2 xl. Primarily angry birds 2 and online shooters. For AB2 it's flawless.
But for ALL of the shooters I play ( modern combat versus, unkilled, guns of boom, deadheads, and Bullet Force) the multi-gesturing (one thumb swiping left while the other simultaneously swipes right or up) can often cause disoriented /inaccurate movement registration.
It's my 1st major gripe with this phone. The p2 xl is fantastic otherwise. And............ on an unrelated note - if you want to play an impressive online shooter that can run 2k /60 frames a second AND do so with ALL the settings set to ULTRA.... try playing Bullet Force! The game runs like a dream on the pixel 2! Apart from the Oreo 8.1 multi-gesture anomalies.... but that's not the game's fault..... it's Google's

Question Fast swiping/scrolling issue in games

Has anyone experience any issues when swiping or scrolling in games ?
I have posted some information and videos on it on reddit... https://www.reddit.com/user/Stanleyjello
Swiping/scrolling fast in apps (non-games) works fine, also using a s-pen in games works fine -but when you use your finger then that when things go weird (swiping slowly works -but not when you do it fast).
(note: swiping and scrolling fast works fine on my other Samsung devices -but is very noticeable on the Fold 3 and does affect gameplay). This is my second device now as the first had these issues as well.
I have also contacted Samsung (but I am still waiting to hear from them).
Would anyone here be able to confirm they are experiencing these issues as well ?
Cheers
anyone ?
Please could someone help me test by downloading either GolfBlitz or FruitNinja2 to see if they are getting the same issues like I was in the videos.

I tested fruit ninja 2 and seems every thing is fine.
I have some others touch problem, sometimes the screen touch freeze for milliseconds, for example when i am typing quickly some words ignored....
I think the lack of response here has convinced me to return this device.
I have had touch issues with games off and on and what solved 90% of the issues that I had was to go into the Labs and for each game with issues, turn the Aspect Ratio to App Default.
Every game (in particular PokemonGo) that I changes to App Default has, for the most part, resolved the issues with touch.
Hope this helps!
Yes, I tried that (and so many other things).
Would you mind trying out Golf Blitz ?
I have tried everything (different forums, stores, samsung support, etc) to try and get someone to help me test this.

Ok, so I thought my next meeting was at the top of the hour, it is, just not this hour.
SO, I installed it and did some tests with playing. Fast and Slow swipes and did not have any issues with playing the game and even getting some really nice shots in!
The ball meter is at the center of the screen which I thought might cause some issues and it worked without any issues at all. Just make sure I got all the test points in, here is what I did:
1. Went through the tutorial to learn and make shots. Couple parts were a little confusing, but after getting the hang of it, not issues.
2. Played a few holes with others and won them without issue. I used power-ups and some shots without and still no touch issues presented themselved.
3. I played around and did normal swings and quick swings and still no issues.
Let me know if there is anything else you want me to mess with.
Thanks!
Ah ok, could you try swiping quickly through the list of Teams and Players in the 'Leaders' area

In the video where I am scrolling through the Teams and Players, I am only swiping upwards (down the list). This happens whilst playing the game as well -but is more difficult to show.

Looks good for me. I am not having any issues at all with the scrolling.
wow ok so I might have a faulty device then.
And you could scroll fast through the list without it stuttering or bouncing ? (like in the video)
Would it be possible to post a video of the scrolling?
Also do you have the latest update (Oct 1st Security patch) ?

I sometimes notice the slow scrolling in random apps in portrait. If I turn the phone to landscape then its quick. Go back to portrait and its quick again. Seems to be very random but usually fixes it for me.
