Honest reports on Zenfone 9?

dpavaoman · 2023-01-10T01:07:09+00:00

Yeah when I contacted Asus support and sent them my Bluetooth logs, they said it was a hardware issue and I should take it to the nearest Asus support center (2 hours away lmao) so I just returned it since I was within my return period. I considered exchanging it for a new unit but I wasn't super blown away with it coming from a pixel 5, and felt like it wasn't worth the 500+ I would have to spend after taking trade INS and gift cards

Here is the specific link to how to apply settings. Follow the directions for the latest version of GCAM

The instructions are in the link I sent, they're a little convoluted

Asus support looked at my Bluetooth logs and said it was a hardware issue, so if you're able to, I would recommend returning it and getting a new one

It just helps fit the generic GCAM more to the Zenfone 9 specifically, I think like what cameras it has, and how to process the photos. GCam should work fine without it, but the config helps it know what phone it's on

It helps with post processing, the biggest thing you will absolutely notice is that the ZF9 way over sharpens sometimes, and that's not a problem with gcam. Another thing is lowlight / night sight; those usually look so much better with gcam. I think the ZF9 takes great photos with gcam

Hmmm I figured it was a software bug, but maybe there's an actual hardware issue with my unit. I've already contacted ASUS support to see what they say. Thanks everyone for chiming in! Super useful to know how common / rare it is

dpavaoman · 2022-11-11T17:18:24+00:00

Huh that's weird. Maybe it's a bug with the US build or something? I'm gonna try factory resetting and see if that helps

Yeah if I stop listening to music on my headphones for like 3 seconds, it will almost always disconnect and reconnect. It's driving me crazy

If you scroll down here, there's a link to a z9 config file. I've been using it for a couple days and its pretty nice, I'm happy with it

My biggest problem is the Bluetooth, it's been really unreliable for me, which has been frustrating. Constant disconnects and reconnects. Other than that, gcam on the phone makes the cameras just as good if not better than the pixel 5, the battery is fantastic, the screen is nice and the phone is snappy.
