| + | |
− | ''' Bugs for v11.8.4.6 '''
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | -> Be very careful with this release - it may overwrite your SKU with the WWE one as I have a HK SKU which was overwritten by the WWE SKU by OTA.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Issues which appear to be resolved by this release (according to Asus's website) are :
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | 1. Fix tearing while scrolling the photos or articles
| + | |
− | 2. Fix the sound to become smaller occasionally after inserting headphones
| + | |
− | 3. Fix image quality issue while taking a photo in the dark place
| + | |
− | 4. Fix photo with green stripes occasionally while recording and then taking a snap shot
| + | |
− | 5. Fix ringtone to be displayed "none" while the default alarm tone was set (Deep)
| + | |
− | 6. Add Polaris Office
| + | |
− | 7. Add PC Link
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Personally I never experienced any of these issues, and within installing 5 minutes of installing the 11.8.4.6 update I received my first crash :(
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | On the plus side the battery does not get very warm anymore when the phone is switched off.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | ''' v11.8.3.3 released for pretty much all SKUs - this release encompasses ZenUI and Android 4.4 !! '''
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | ''' Bugs for v11.8.3.3 '''
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | So far Android 4.4 has been very stable - much more so than Jellybean, however the following bugs have been noticed :
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | a) After switching the phone off the phone seems to continue to charge - it becomes very warm - much more so than with the old version of Android
| + | |
− | b) When using the speakerphone, if you bring them OFF the speakerphone you can no longer hear the caller through the phone itself
