  10. Please, check if the APN configuration works using the data SIM in the slot 2 of the phone, not in the slot 1. In my Zenfone 6 it worked. It let me access to the APN config menu and add the APN parameters. Now it is working fine. I think it is possible that data transfer is only possible through the SIM2 slot

  16. After upgrading my Zen5 ROM from 1.18.40.9 to 1.18.40.10 and then to 2.19.40.6 which is the new KitKat update, WiFi and hotspot tethering became unusable!
    When I turn on WiFi it persist on searching for WiFi networks but can not find any devices.... and when I turn on WiFi hotspot it will began to turn on and off continuously and wont stop till I turn it off myself!
    I tried to downgrade to previous version of ROM (1.18.40.10) but couldn''t.
    It seems that official bootloader unlocker is not working on this KitKat version.
    The problem is too annoying.
    What should I do?
