alan sykes, 02 Aug 2016Since you flash to kitkat 18. did you check if you are able to use the PlayTo (miracast/DLNA) ... moreNo, I didn't. I didn't use Miracast or DLNA, so I don't know about this. And I would like to tell that I never try Miracast or DLNA for all smartphones I have ever used so far.

    Eva, 03 Aug 2016Is it a worth buy? Planning to gift it to hubby.. plz suggestdepends. what kind of cellphone does your husband used before? there are type of people who use certain phone brands (e.g.: samsung, sony, HTC,etc...). if they want to have latest phone, they just buy the same brand (because they feel comfortable with the brand), if your husband prefer functionality than brand, it worth the buy.

            Previously i did comment about heating issue compared to my wife 2yearold galaxy s3. Now i dont think i have the heating issue. I dont know why. I just love this phone even its screen cracked already. This phone charging fast. i think 2.5 hours fully charge the battery. No lagging issue for now. Transfer files between internal to external no problemo.

                Now buying the Padfone S Plus 64GB, 3GB RAM version, together with it's tablet station and Padfone X bluetooth keyboard(which is fully compatible and able to hold the tablet station)

                Yes, outlook wise, this is some of the most outdated phone, tablet and netbook.
                But functionality wise, this is the most versatile hybrid device, which is a 5" phone, a 9" tablet, and also a netbook with keyboard. Ok, quality wise, overall setup is very buicky and heavy, tablet speaker is not ok, tablet station cannot access OTG, all plasticky built, front camera is old school 2M, no fingerprint scanner, no IR port, but still remain the NFC.

                All in all, with overall price cut that is more than half from it's original release for 64GB version (including price cut for original accessory), this is the truly all in one device that is not breaking the bank, but still remain high performance with SD801 processor and 3GB RAM.

                This comment is typed with Padfone S in netbook mode.

                                      Again I post. About double tap to wake, now I suggest KnockOn by Jawomo, till small app works very good in my Padfone S. Double tap to off works 99%, while double tap to wake works 90%. Not perfect, but it's OK to be use for daily use.

I gave 1 star at Play Store, very bad app. I disable the knock code by setting 'nothing' on knock section. What was the result? Afer the screen of my Padfone S turn off, when I press power button, it show knock lock, I tried many code, from default 1234 to whatever code, nothing work, and I can't get rid of the knock code, except I restart my phone.
