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 We are all customers and 
    supporters of the ROG ALLY and want to see the ALLY and its future versions 
    succeed.
