    what else can u expect from a phone with good specs at a low price receiving pie


    the screen brightness has decreased . in oreo the screen was bright enough at even 10%

    i have moto g5 plus even at 6% the screen has excellent brightness in a room

    its not asus fault, pie itself is not as good as oreo, oreo is not as good as nougat
    but still i hope they fix all the bugs ASAP in coming updates

        Anonymous, 13 Apr 2019I got pie update yesterday. It's more like beta version. Tbh, android pie itself is not well polished. I saw the android pie on Pixel phone as well it look the same in most part. The only differences is Max Pro M1 have a little bit less feature because its not a flagship. I don't like android pie generally. The gesture control is not as smooth as I thought it would be. The iphone implementation is still better. Doing split screen now require more steps compare to Oreo. Icons now too colourful in settings and everything is enlarged. Look cartoonish. The top part of notification bar is black out when you pulls it down. This is due to android pie optimized for notch phone but not for regular phone. The only things I like is dark mode, digital wellbeing and screenshot shortcut using power key only. The rest still feel like it need a lot of improvement. If you coming from android oreo the visual changes will make you feel like it has become busier.

            Update is good. You can go for it. Everything is smooth as usual on 6gb model of ASUS. Recommended to Wipe Cache Partition.

                    Just a notice to Max Pro M1 users, your phone is upgradable to stable android Pie now. It is rolling slowly so be patient.

                      10-04-2019 - MAJOR ANDROID OS UPDATE!!

                      A new and major FOTA update has been rolling out to Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 (both ZB601KL and ZB602KL) on 10/04/2019. The complete changelog (provided by Asus) is given below :

                      Build No. : 16.2017.1903.050
                      Update Size : 1552.1 MB (From Oreo) & 392.54 MB (From Pie Beta)

                      Changelog :
                      1. Upgrade Android version to Android 9.0 Pie.
                      2. Update Google security patch to March 2019.

                      Since the server pushes update notice to different serial numbers by batches, it may take some days for you to receive the FOTA notice. In the meantime, you may tap “System update” in [Settings] >>[System] to check if there is new firmware available. Or, you can also try to manually update the firmware by referring to the following link :
                      https://www.asus.com/zentalk/thread-1158-1-1.html

                      Asus ZenTalk Forum Link : TBA

                      Since it is a major Android OS version upgrade, a full backup and reset is suggested after updation. Everyone please provide the feedback of the update after installing - if it is a useful update☺️ or if it introduced new set of bugs😡..

                        emp, 08 Apr 2019Hi Vinz, may I know the exact LTE problem you are facing. T... moreNot only the LTE but also the signal of this phone is weak. Or maybe the network in here?
                        try this *#*#4636#*#* ther you can see that when every time i chose the LTE only.
                        Option it does not locked on LTE ONLY.
                        I think i just to have to research some more or maybe the latest update of this phone will fix this.
                        Sorry for my Grammar.

And try to add maybe 2-3 fingerprints. So when it does not recognize your pointy finger maybe you can use the others. Also. There's a 3 way to access your phone security. 1.) Buy providing password or a pattern, 2.) The fingerprint scanner. 3.) Face unlock. Restarting your smartphone is required even once a week. So just bear rebooting your phone every week. I hope it helps

                                      I am facing issue with finger print scanner on my Asus zenfone max pro m1 from the day I purchased. After using around 3 to 4 days, the finger print scanner stops working and then I only have option to restart the phone and after restart, finger print scanner again starts working but then same issue occurs after 3/4 days again. So other also observing same issue or I am the only one having this issue?
