About the .217 update situation

[MaceDraconik]

I'm currently checking why people are complaining about the update and i noticed that both idle and on-zentalk wattage is completely fine for me (former being 0.8w, which is not too shabby - latter being screenshotted (see picture). Actually, it got even better this update, but again, in my case. 

Let me know what temps and wattage you all get (check with lyb kernel manager, found in the play store and doesn't need root).

 P.S. I don't know why i'm doing what the moderators (or whatever they're called) should be doing instead of not doing jack s***. Enjoy somewhat unbiased info while i'm still hanging in here and have not lost my mental sanity over absent communication lol

P.P.S. WHERE IS THE BOOTLOADER UNLOCK TOOL AT?????

P.P.P.S. have a great rest of the day/night because why not (it took me a decently long time to write this for whatever reason)

Don't reboot and don't update. The .217 update is a tragedy. I flashed all the way back to .121 update which is the sweet spot. I'm currently on 3 hours SOT with 88% battery remaining (very heavy with high room temperature). If this was the .217 update, I'd be on around 1 hour 45mins SOT, massive difference.

How did you roll back?

Downloaded the ROM which took ages & then used CMD on pc to flash the ROM

Didn't asus remove older versions from their servers? If you downloaded it from another place, could you share the link here? (Maybe encoded in base64 or something)

It'll have to RAW firmwares, choose the one that was uploaded in May. 

From there you can go to .188 if you want
