State of the Ally (#5) - BIOS 330 is Here! Who Needs a Change Log Anyway? Mod
Notice Hey everyone, we're back once again for #5 of State of the ALLY! BIOS 330
has landed for the ROG ALLY and after the first day or so, we are seeing mixed
reports on the Subreddit and Discord regarding performance improvements/losses.
Please use this post as an opportunity to share with the community your
experiences with the new update so far, will you be upgrading to 330? Have you
done so already? Or will you be staying on 323 or maybe even a lower version?
This will be helpful to all of us in the community due to the limited
information right now as to what the changes are with this new BIOS update and
together we can shine a light on any gains/issues to determine what will benefit
us the most! There are still a number of issues that we are tracking, as always
we have listed these below and will amend as necessary. If you haven't already,
please join the r/ROGALLY Discord server at the following link -
https://discord.gg/rogally to talk with the incredible and helpful community, we
have many channels and are the Number 1 resource for information surrounding the
ROG ALLY. Known issues that require a update from ASUS - SD Card Reader. (issue
since 06-22-2023)
 - After an unknown amount of usage, the ally becomes unresponsive until the SD
 card is removed - In rare cases the SD card is damaged, but normally a
 reformat will repair the logical corruption - RMA devices since August seem to
 be fully working
- XG Mobile/amoury crate se bugs. (Issues since 07-05-2023/ Updates 9/27) -
 (Most issue seems to be affecting the XG 6850m XT the most) -
 Activation/deactivation issue is still present even after fully updating ACSE,
 reinstalling driver or doing cloud recovery. - 30W CPU TDP is bugged with XG
 6850M XT when AMD Adrenaline is installed and offer poorer performance than
 20W - False driver ''Update'' upon cold boot. - XG Mobile not properly
 connected visual prompt upon physically connecting the XG mobile. -
 Deactivating the XG mobile sometime does nothing and stay connected (Require a
 2nd deactivation for it to deactivate) - Upon cold boot with XG connected,
 image is sent to ally instead of monitor unless physically reconnecting the
 HDMI cable. - Sometimes clicking the XG Mobile icon in AC to
 activate/deactivate doesn't do anything - AC does not go full screen unless
 you use display scaling of 150% (8/7/2023)
- Vibration Noises (8/7/2023) - Strange rattling noises - Issue is semi resolved
 by turning vibration motors to 50% or lower - Vibration lock that happens
 where the vibrators remain on locked at whatever vibration strength was active
 when the bug triggers. They remain on even if you do a Windows restart. Only
 stops if you do a full shutdown.
- RMA delays, Additional Damage on Return (8/23/2023) - In some regions RMAs are
 taking a Month+ - Devices sent in for SD issues came back with broken sticks -
 Some RMAs are just offered Refunds instead any repairs
- Fix Command Center Keyboard Shortcut back to ctl+alt+c - Mouse Bug (9/29/2023)
 - After clicking, the mouse is immediately moved in a single direction and
 will stop taking inputs. This affects drag and dropping the most.
- Highly requested - Gyro Support in ACSE - Manual profiles Fan curves to be
 fully adjustable (or at least lower mins). - TDP slider in command center
 5w-30w (no boost slider) - Actual sub 15W modes, the boost sliders min is 15W
- Other Requests - Allow for DPAD drivers to be initialized from Power On to aid
 Dual Boot Loaders when selecting OS - Fixing time display in Command Center
 when using 24h format - Theming of AC like playnight - Real Time Monitor
 Customization - Allow the user to change the power plan associated with an
 ACSE power profile - Battery Saver in Armoury crate with ranges from 80% to
 90% for bypass charging - Option to turn off "White LEDS" next to the power
 button when the device is hibernating/sleeping. - Driver & Bios updates
 through Armoury Crate SE
