Ally Report Card 12/19/2023
Hey everyone, we’re back once again for #6 of State of the ALLY!
Known issues that require a update from Asus
SD Card Reader. (issues 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
- Failure Rates of R8 and newer seem to have greatly reduced
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.
Mouse Bug (9/29/2023)

XG Mobile/amoury crate se bugs. (Issues since 07-05-2023/ Updates 9/27)
Most issue are mainly affecting the XG 6850m XT and there seems to be big issue with the way HDMI communicate with XG mobile
- 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 Adrenaline is installed and offer <= performance than 20W (165W GPU power doesn’t stick right)
- ‘Windows” and “Performance” operating mode deactivate CPU fan #2 while connected to XG mobile
- Leaving the Ally turned on with XG activated and monitor turned off. When turning on the monitor, there is no image and a reboot is required.
- Upon cold boot with XG activated, image is sent to ally instead of monitor unless physically reconnecting the HDMI cable.
- False “driver update” or ”Firmware 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
We are all customers here and want to see the Ally and its future versions succeed.
Have a Merry Christmas and we will see you all in 2024!
