[Q] Padfone 2 problem - battery, software brick or something else? topic

Good Evening,

I have a Padfone 2 wwe running stock firmware and locked boot. Yesterday the phone just stopped charging and wont turn on normally. This is what happens:

• When turning the phone on: Shows the empty battery icon and then immediatly reboots. This leads to an infinite loop. I've had it going through this loop for hours, no help.


• When put the phone in the dock nothing happens. If I try to turn on the phone while in the dock the white spinning circles, usually shown when docking the phone, is shown for a few seconds then it turns off again.


• When unplugged from power source I cant access neither recovery mode(power+vol down) or CSC/fastboot mode (power+vol up).


• When plugged in to power source I get into CSC/fastboot mode. If I connect the phone to a computer I get a ASUS Fastboot loader devide. However ADB don't find the device when I use the ADB devices command. (Tried following the Tutorial: Un-Bricking Padfone 2 (and possibly other android devices): http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...2256977&page=4 guide)


• When plugged in to power source I get to the first menu in recover mode (Recovery/Restart). However if I select Recovery the phone dies and the reboots again.


• I've tried unplugging the battery for 30 seconds and then plugging it back in again, no help.

So my question is if you think a new battery will solve it or if I should try something else?

Thank you all!

[Q] Do you have the official padfone X keyboard clampshell dock? topic

AT&T no longer sells it. The supposed links to the dock on ebay actually lead to other docks.

Would anyone be willing to sell their clampshell adjustable angle official asus padfone x dock?

[Q] Frequency Bands - Padfone S or Unlocked Padfone X? topic

I can't locate any information about the supported frequency bands of the Asus Padfone X, but I did find the Asus Padfone S.

TL;DR - Does anyone know the supported frequencies for Asus Padfone X?
...
Asus Padfone S:

Quote:

3G WCDMA: 900/1900/2100 4G FDD-LTE: 700/800/900/1800/1900/2100/2600*

This list seems a bit incomplete - no 2G standard?


Since I am a T-Mobile customer, I need a phone that supports these:

Quote:

2G GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 850/1900 3G WCDMA/UMTS/HSPA+: 850 (CLR), 1900 (PCS), 1700/2100 (AWS) 4G FDD LTE: 700 (Block A), 1900 (PCS), 1700/2100 (AWS)

Since Asus Padfone S does not support 1700, if I purchase Padfone S then I will have to downgrade from AWS to PCS. The problem this has is that there are no PCS LTE towers in my area since it's a metro area that fully supports AWS. I am in a refarmed area that has HSPA+ on the 1900 band now, so I could at least get that, but if the Asus Padfone X supports 1700 then I'd rather buy one of those and unlock it.

[Q] What is your padfone X's wifi connection speed? topic

I tried all different setting, I can only get a 54M speed, whether connected to a 300M dual band router or the latest 1900AC dual band. Anything wrong?:confused:
