Zenfone 2 and Gym/Raids Errors

Hi trainers. Some of you play using Zenfone or other Intel Smartphones?. I got many bugs when try to take down a gym or join a raid. Many times PoGo show "Error" or i beat a pokemon and he still hitting me...some solution?. My builds graphics are bugged too since i started playing (like the image). Thanks.

My Smartphone is a Zenfone 2 ZE551ML.

Don't worry gyms and raids completely bugged for everybody, regardless of cpu. I don't see anything that I don't encounter with my snapdragon.

Some friends are playing normally and with normal graphics too. Look at the buildings at my screen, very strange and since i bought the phone. My old Motorola G2 works fine and is a pretty worse model =(.

Have you tried your old phone after rework? Just checked graphics and it looks fine, but it definitely was bugged after last update. Gyms still bugged, maybe it just became less tolerant to bad connection, and your friends use better network.

Maaan! I've been playing on same model Zenfone2 since the beginning! Buildings have always been like that for me, since july ~1 year ago.

I have the same problems! :( game is way more LAGGY (and crashy) than my friends'.
It used to be like that in the last 2-3 months but it got worse with last update.
When I raid, I start battling 15 seconds after (So 165 seconds, never seen 180...and take hits from the boss too).

I updated to last firmware, and improved a little in other things:
I can now cure/revive pkmn (before I had to restart app often or wait 3 minutes for every revive/max pot)
I can now select way smoother pkmn for raids.

Situation is still tragic for us, TheFocke x(
More than for others.

PS: I'm level 37 and well equipped with every kind of pkmn, BUT I can only solo level 1 raids, because of Lags/bugs...
...and I only got 2 TM of of 24 raid by now (performing badly in raid battles, does it affect rewards?)

I have exactly the same smartphone as you... and I encounter exactly the same problems as you :(

Raid battles are unplayable: yesterday I tried to fight a magikarp, which should be soloable for a lvl 32 player :) I could not modify my team, or at best only one or two mons in 120 seconds, with a lot of 'Network error' messages, then the fight starts and... the magikarp's HP quickly drop to 0... but not for the game, since the battle still goes on, the karp sporadically gets HP back and finally time is out !

Incredibly frustrating. I'm also interested in what you mean by 'recent firmware' ? Are you talking about android version ? Which one is installed on your phone ? Mine is 5.0, maybe an upgrade could lead to a better situation.

Dear TheFocke and Gary, my mates, you can update the firmware and android version from 5 to 6.
Our smartphone does NOT find updates when you check for updates, nor does them automatically, so You'll have to do it manually. I did it it's easy, just check out the versions of your mobile in settings and download the right zip file from Asus official site.

The update will improve just a little (you'll be able to choose your team of attackers in raids, you'll be able to cure your pokemon without waiting 3 minutes every revive or game restart).
Unfortunately Boss fights have not changed in my experience, I still start fight with 12-18 seconds delay....and get few TMs too by now xD

Follow these instructions:

You find the firmware updates here
(Last update was released 16 june 2017):
https://www.asus.com/it/Phone/ZenFone_2_ZE551ML/HelpDesk_Download/

Check your smartphone model here and check out if it has the same code of the download probably: ZZ-->ZZ

It'd be a honour to help, I hope your game will improve.
Though, at some point either Niantic works on improving servers (?) or we'll need a new phone...

Yes you will go up to Android 6.0.1
(from Android L to Android M)
Check if you have the last version of Android L on you phone (from settings, software) before you update to most recent one.

Last version is 2.20.40.198 if you are ZZ

You're welcome :)

Also...guys with Zenfone2...can you solo a level 2 gym??? I succeeded 3 times (I'm lev.37) but failed another 3 times due to lags/bugs:
-starting fight with 15 sec delay
-boss was standing still, not attacking
-then boss was getting energy back
-...timeout!

How does your GPS? Mine teleports sometimes :/

I tried to solo a level 2 boss yesterday (Exeggutor) with sucess. My phone is much better now to play PoGo with Android 6 and clock synchronized (used ClockSync ap).
My GPS teleport sometimes (rarely) but i dont care about it cuz is very useful to hatch eggs while im sleeping haha. Cheers and thanks.
