Rog 5 List Of Bugs/Issues

waxy78611
Zen Master I
Please tell us some basic information before asking for help:
Model Name: Rog 5
Firmware Version: WW-18.0840.2103.26
Rooted or not: No
Frequency of Occurrence: Regularly
APP Name & APP Version (If your issue relates to the app): Android system, Android OS Etc
In addition to information above, please also provide as much details as you can, e.g., using scenario, what troubleshooting you've already done, screenshot, etc.
========================================
So it has been almost 1 month since the last update. Many issues have been reported & hopefully the Devs have kept an eye on the threads from multiple users. Just to summarise the issues which are affecting Rog 5 users:
1. Battery drain either through Android OS, Android System, Mobile Network standby or all 3 simultaneously.
2. Excessive Heat from the device even with normal usage. This can definitely be linked to the battery draining apps mentioned above so perhaps if those apps are fixed so will the heating issue.
3. 5G & Volte not working for many users. This seems to be happening predominantly in the UK. Upon checking XDA forums, it's apparent that Volte does work in India, Asia & on some networks in America. However, volte does not work at all on any network in the UK. Same goes for 5g, haven't seen any luck in the UK myself even by trying different carriers and yes I've been in 5g hotspots. However, users in Indian, Asia and America seem to have 5g running perfectly.
4. Standby battery drain due to Android OS, Android System & Mobile network signal or all 3 simultaneously. This again is linked to the first point stated above.
5. Charging issue. Even with slow charging active, the phone still charge very fast as if hyper charge is on. The battery icon displays the hyper charge symbol so it's definitely a software bug.
6. Screen refresh rate. Although the phone doesn't come with a 90hz option, it would be massively appreciated if this could be added (should be possible). This option of 90hz will no doubt be a boost for battery life aswel as phone temps. Also many users have requested this. It's definitely the sweet spot & perfectly balanced.
7. Call issues. I along with other users have noticed an issue when on a call. Voice goes in and out, person on other end says they can't hear us for a brief period and voice goes in and out. Same when phone is on loudspeaker.
8. Ghost touch. This happens mainly when on Ultra Durable mode or with 60hz active. Self explanatory.
If these issues could be addressed that would be good. If I have missed anything or there's a fix for any of the aforementioned issues, please add your own .

I have replied to your message. Thanks.

Also, I too have the issue with speaker volume, it's definitely gone Low since latest update. Don't get me wrong, these speakers are FANTASTIC. So many compliments from people asking what device it is because of these Beast speakers🤠 best speakers on a phone ever.. this is absolutely true..

but the latest update has ruined the volume, it's noticeably lower when playing media & when on loudspeaker during a call... Please fix this

Also, latest update mentions temperature strategy, but the phone is definitely getting warmer than before. So this update has only made the temperature worse. Please fix this too

Yes, phone is a lot hotter with this current firmware. Before I was using. 26, I can play codm and pubg while screen recording and the game is running smoothly without massive fps drip and stuttering, even without x mode plus activated. But now, even with x mode plus, playing while recording is really bad. Even rog 3 can do better, when playing while screen recording these games. Please ASUS, FIX THIS

I have an issue with my Asus ROG Phone 5.... Sometimes out of literally nowhere my phone vibrates and a small black curser appears on my screen, like if I would connect a mouse to the phone which I never do and never did. Does anyone else have this kind of issue? Or is it maybe some function of the phone that I'm triggering by accident? Please help... it annoys me a lot. Especially if I'm laying in my bed trying to sleep and my phone keeps on vibrating every now and then for no reason whatsoever.

Try looking in Accessibility settings and check if you have Large mouse pointer enabled. If so, that's probably your culprit.
