I had this for less than a month and suddenly it turned pff and cannot recharge nor open. Brought thos to service center and almost a month now still no reply whatsoever. Their service in our country is bad.
Any idea what happened?
Specs wise this is avery good phone for the price. Performance is great until it suddenly shut down and cannot turn on

Please answer me I beg of you :'(
~LAG PROBLEM~
My Asus has started to lag and it's quite depressing because I really love the smoothness of the OS. What should I do about it? Is something broken or need update?
~CHARGING PROBLEMS~
Furthermore, my Asus Zenfone 5 once took more than 8 hours to charge and it was off and I charged the battery not less than 10%. Could it be because I haven't charged my phone full before the first time I used it? And it takes me so many hours to charge my phone when off but when I charge it with power on, it only takes me an hour and a half. Why is this like this?
~BATTERY PROBLEMS~
Also, I wish to find out the most effective way to enhance my Zenfone 5's battery capacity since for me it is really really poor. Is investing for powerbank advisable or there is another way like a system update? And can this Zenfone battery get repaired when broken?
~SYSTEM UPDATE~
When will the Zenfones be updated to Lollipop OS? And what makes this Lollipop update interesting?
~ROOTING INQUIRY~
Is it okay to root? Won't it damage anything? Can you please give me instructions on how to root or at least give me a link?
I'll be thanking you ahead and hoping to receive my answers any time soon :)

AnonD-291211, 05 Jan 2015sbi freedom worked when i had micromax a110.recommended process is to run factory reset after every android update, run factory reset and check for Apps update after this, definitely will solve your issue if it was working fine previously.

i just bought my Zenfone 5 yesterday..
made an initial battery charge of 6 hours..
installed apps and games.
made minimum settings..
and made my battery settings to ultimate saving mode..
and FINALLY..
I CAN PLAY BRAVE FRONTIER!!!!!..
The thing is that after 12 MINUTES!!..
12 Minutes and from 98% - 87%...
my battery drained!!!..
Playing Brave Frontier in Zenfone 5 is so SMOOTH, no lags and scuh..
its just that the battery is the draw back of this phone..
the battery should just be 5500mAh, 2110 mAh can't handle the powerful chipset...
if they would just adjust the clockspeed or make the battery store more power, that would be better(best)...(with price consideration, this phone would be the best for mobile players and multimedia fans)
i'm not also that qwerty practiced so i hope there would also be other options for pad types.

I love this phone! I love the features and Asus did a grate job in optimizing the speed. I have tried many smartphones but nothing comes close to the experience I had with this phone. Smooth, UI is clean, games (even high-end games) are not lagging. I really recommend this phone. I am an Computer Programmer and I am truly satisfied. It's a low budget phone pack with a lot of amazing features.
