Last edited by a.usenko.09fk on 2019/2/28 16:33 I bought this phone 2 months ago. Since that time there were 3 updates. And still... I have same problems as before. 1. Light detector is working REALLY BAD. Seems that on my phone it is too sensitive. I got tired of going my screen too bright or too dark when i do just 1 move while sitting in the room on the same spot. 2. Fingerprint. Is working BAD. On zenfone 3 it was working faster and better. It wasnt workin only if sensor was super dirty or my hands were super dirty. On zenfone 5z... Phone thinks my hands r super dirty even if i just cleaned them with soap and water. Annoying. Probably this sensor is also on 5z is too sensative, so each micro grain of sand detects as a super dirt. 3. Accelerometr. Is living it's own life. I tried to do something with it. I tryed to pass this detector test 50 times. And each time was a fail. Somehow i manages to finish it good, and everything was fine, but not for a long time. Why do i need it to work properly? Im tired rotate all my pictures manualy. Accelerometr workin BAD and automatically rotates all my pictures just like it wants. I have defective phone or this issues are just bugs of the system?!?!

Yes.. u r right.. I have registered complaints about auto brightness issue since I purchased this phone i.e.from sept 2018.. In my every post I include this issue but no action has been taken by asus.. Asus is not doing anything.. better to avoid buying asus phones

Hi a.usenko.09fk Good day. Are your firmware version currently on the latest WW-90.10.138.181? (1.) The brightness level will have a specific range that depends on the user's usual set-up conditions. This will automatically adjust the toggle brightness level to adapt the light of your environment. So the user can adjust the brightness level manually when you enable " Auto brightness". (2.) Does the fingerprint work well if clearing up the reader? I would also suggest you can remove the stored fingerprints and create a new one. (3.) Please kindly clear storage and cache and reinstall it for a check. Thank you.
