Asus is rubbish, every updates they pushed out, something gets broke. Focus, charging, Bluetooth, volte, what else can they break now?

                Come on Asus, I've waited 10 months before my Zenfone Max got Marshmallow update and it barely brought anything new. I need the split screen multitasking already

Why would Search Giant allow using assistant for other people when they want to have business as well? Also, you *can* enable assistant on your phone but you need root. There are some ways like installing pixel launcher and/or changing model name and/or build name through build.prop file which will allow downloading pixel launcher from Google play and use assistant features.

                        I rather wait and have a stable version rather than have one full of bugs... Asus take your time and please rollout a stable version, please don't ruin the experience....

                        Thank you

                              Maybe they should've been working on 7.1.1 instead of 7.0... That would explain why everyone that released Nougat recalled it 2 days after the initial rollout.

                                What is going on with all these companies stopping their Nougat updates? It must be something serious, otherwise, they could have probably fixed it with a light patch.... The question is why didn't they discover it in the extensive beta/soak tests?? Something seems fishy here...... -_-

                                    Everybody stops their nougat update, HTC also did before. But if apple stops an update, apple is doomed by the medias.

                                      Herodroid, 18 Jan 2017lol, a lot of OEM's suspends nougat update without telling ... moreHmm... Maybe and it could be other areas but it has a hight possibility of being the notification thing. It could have been easier if they had toned down their customisation to the notification center (i am not against customisation but i don't like manufacturers trying to make it look like Ios).

                                        lol, a lot of OEM's suspends nougat update without telling bugs... I know the reason... It is probably because these companies refused to use googles notification system. Now as they 'suspend update because of bugs' in reality, they are going to implement notification system as Google forced all OEM's to use it.
