What We Want In the Next Update (Feel Free to Add More if I Miss Anything)

Zen Master I
Please tell us some basic information before asking for help:
Model Name: Rog 5 256GB
Firmware Version: .86 Latest
Rooted or not: Never
Frequency of Occurrence: Daily
APP Name & APP Version (If your issue relates to the app):
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.
========================================
After looking at many threads, it's blindingly obvious that the Rog 5 is still facing issue after issue. Every update seems to cause more issues than it fixes & it's very frustrating. This isn't a cheap device, it's a Flagship (Well it was until Asus Randomly released the 5S variant which in my opinion was super unnecessary). Considering the price of this device, software support/after care should be PARAMOUNT for ANY phone company. Anyway, the forthcoming list is what I & I'm sure many others want FIXED in the next update.
1. Speakers. When the Rog 5 was first released the speakers were Excellent. Easily the best in the world. But somewhere along the line they were ruined with a update. Asus did 3 updates to fix the speakers, all of which failed to give the speakers their original quality. Asus, I'm speaking for ALL Rog 5 users when I say this: Can you PLEASE revert the speaker quality back to how it was when you first released the Rog 5.
2. Battey Drain. Android system seems to be eating up the battery life along with Kernel Android OS & Media Storage. This isn't affecting all users but it's affecting a significant amount including myself. Please fix this. The Rog 5 has a 6000MAH battey, it should be performing much better than it is.
3. Refresh Rate. Many users have asked for a 90HZ option. It seems that battery drains super quick on 120HZ & 144HZ. The phone gets hot like crazy on the higher refresh rates too. I've compared it to my Rog 3 & the Rog 3 handles the refresh rates much BETTER. 90HZ would be fantastic! If you can't do 90HZ atleast fix the temperature :thermometer:️ Higher temperature = more battery drain obviously.
4. Temperature. This is a HOT phone. Even simple tasks like web browsing turn it into a handheld oven. If it means you have to lower the CPU speed, just do it. Make some changes to the battery modes which lower the CPU speed to decrease the temperature. If the user wants the CPU speed higher at the cost of temperature, make that option too in battey mode :battery:.
5. WiFi, Hotspot, SIM Tray & Calls not working after .86 update. This issue isn't affecting me but it's affecting others. I'm sure you're looking into this.
If there's anything I've missed, feel free to add at your convenience. If there's any fixes for the above mentioned bugs, please do share them too.

Does this match anyone else's battery life?
If anyone is having issues with battery life please factory reset your phone atleast once. I did that and I could notice an improvement. It's been observed by more people on the forums I believe.

3) already expressed on this virtual ram function, the initial idea is good for entry-level devices and now put forward by stupid manufacturers who act the worst ideas of their marketing department for flagship phones from the top of range and who do not even know how to best manage the 12 and 16 GB of these devices.

or don't want to because you have to get your hands dirty (kernel).

4) as Danishblunt says, the technological limit is reached with the current gravuve, the share already slows down the frequency and you can also put in dynamic or 60fps and ultra durable. another design may lower the temperature for the user by a few ° C but will not change the internal temperature. The only solution is to use a fan, but well designed, not the one from the rog5 unfortunately, look at BLACK SHARK FunCooler 2 Pro if I'm not mistaken.

Now it has lower temperature after new update and it's reduce 5c when I played Mobile Legends compare to before
It's a prove that ASUS can reduce temperature with optimize their software
It's time for ASUS to shine and show the world if they're the best gaming phone
btw, you can do antutu and see the improvement from previous firmware score
