> In reply to Jaya @ 2013-02-05 07:43 from vwHh - click to readI got it from Hong kong and it had JB 4.1.1 out of the box. But as soon as I connected it to Wi fi I got 2 firmware updates. So if update is available for ur phone u should get it automatically when u r connected to a network or u can go to setting -> about padfone-> system Firmware Upgrade and check if any update is available

I find the padphone2 to be very fragile and the casing that Asus provide does not provide much protection.
I had my padphone charging with the casing and it drop from table high, and must have landed on one of the corner and the whole screen crack. Not only that, but it also stop responding.
My personal experience with other tablet and casing, this padphone 2 is fragile and i regret buying it.

Does Anybody know if this works well in Melbourne(Australia), with a Kogan mobile sim?

I want to buy one but I am unsure if it will work properly.

Also if you loose your phone all your contacts are still there in gmail ready for your next android phone

Hello, I purchased Padfone 2 and I have problems with importing phone book. more specifically, I import it either from mail account or from a file saved in the device's memory.
at a certain time automatically disappears.
few times I try to recharge it fails.

Also, when importing it i get a message that the agenda is loaded on clipboard. I guess this would be the problem, but I managed to find a setting to change this.

can anyone help me with a solution in this regard please?

thank you,

> In reply to ken @ 2013-02-02 08:44 from IWH9 - click to readare you using that power saver mode?

if yes, i think it disables your data while on sleep mode.

try this ~> settings-> power management -> power saver -> power saving by scenario -> tap the list icon next to it -> on the list, scroll down to the bottom -> Uncheck IM & other apps using push notification.

Once done, restart the phone to be safe.

Let it go to sleep mode for 10 mins or so, ask your friend to whatsapp you.

Lemme know if it works! In my case, it did ;)
