I just received one unit last December 26.. all is fine except for the battery which easily gets drained. Facebook and messenger apps frequently stops, and recently the Zen UI app is stopping unintendedly. What should be done to fix these problems especially on battery? Thanks!

Had this phone for almost a year, the only issue was it cannot detect a simcard since I throw the unit regularly with slim armor, after watching basketball and the team I'm rooting for didn't win, I throw this phone 11 times with huge power, after the screen blacked out, and the display was all white screen like a map. I thought it was done, then the next day I checked on it, the battery was drain so I charged it, after charging it, I was amused when I opened it, It was functioning well like nothing happened, this was the most durable phone I owned.

Its been more than a year since i am using this phone.. Till now i was quite happy with the phone's performance.. Bt since 3-4 weeks it has started encountering some major problem. Firstly i started hanging like anything because of facebook app. And now, the apps are not installing, not even from play store nor from anywhere else.. What am i suppose to do, i am not able to understand. None of the apps r getting updated. Its not installing means not at all. Please suggest me something.

I am sure most problems mentioned brothers are in the forgetting to clear bin of messages
Yes I did have pop ups to start with but easy fix on ASUS website

Had a Samsung before and it just gave up
For the money you will not beat it

Worst phone I have ever owned. First problem was it did not recognise USB. Then would not recognise SIM card. To fix these took 10 weeks. Latest was that it statics badly and gets very hot. DWI did not fix under warranty - claimed it had been water damaged but it definitively had not been. Not 1 year old, but I am throwing it away and getting something decent like Samsung or Iphone

One of the best phones I have used so far and I have used a lot. The only problem I had with this phone is the in-built BLOATWARE. Had to manually DISABLE a lot of them before things got a lot stable and fast. Those bloatware if enabled will consume a lot of the 2Gb ram and slow down EVERYTHING.
DO NOT update/uninstall any apps with "ASUS" in the name and you should be fine....

Approximately One and a half year of use, and I have never seen a phone so perfect for this price range. Beside, Asus not being part of the top 5 sellers in the phone business, You will enjoy the pleasure of having a unique phone when friends and family still carry "generic" phone trademarks (samsung, apple, etc...)

Hi, fellow peps.
I know, this review is 1 year late. But, there are still people buying this phone so here's my opinion on the lasting capability of this gem on the 2014 market.
As for the start, no issues whatsoever, like literally, no issues. You enjoy the fast performance of the Intel core and also the smooth ride 2GB ram, sounds great right?
Yes it is, and then you realize that you will use this phone longer than 1.5 years, which is the limit to budget phone's healthy life spam. After that you're welcomed with: A. Laggy overall use with FaceBook installed. B. While using Youtube you'll have that annoying lag happening all over the place, not for long though. C. The battery counter will suddenly count battery percentage like a women's mood, up and down and boom, sudden shut down due to no power left. I am not saying this is bad or what but, this is something which will greatly disappoint ASUS users. As for my case I promised to myself never purchase any ASUS phones again. Thanks for reading and have a nice day:).
