      I have realised that the phone's power consumption system/process is very unstable. With the same amount of usage, sometimes i get 4hrs of onscreen time and sometimes 3-3.5 hrs onscreen time.
      Seems likee latest update has solved a few bugs and produced many others. Not daring to go for the latest one.

      Asus has really screwed up the phone...
      This phone is like a chevrolet cruze with a 10 litre tank..

          Aarya, 19 Dec 2014Can we set a Image for contacts.while phone rings, can we see the image that we set?.?Yes, with exception of SIM contacts.

          Open Phone dialer. Click on image of a guy (list of contacts). Choose contact for who you want to assign photo. Click into the round photo of the figure.

          You will get a menu to choose or take a photo. Choose appropriate, and apply.

                  Battery is not the best after kitkat

                  Batter drops from 100% at 9am to 20% at 9pm. with average usage (1 hr call + 30 min watsapp + 1 hr games)
                  1.) Turn off the auto update in your play store settings
                  2.) Off your location services
                  3.) have your brightness setting done manually - have it munimum and increase as and when you need - turn off auto brightness.
                  4.) By default you will have 12 app shortcuts in your drop down toggle - minimum is 8 and so have only frequently used 8
                  5.) UN-INSTALL Mcafee - crap for mobile eating up ram
                  6.) 360 degree is sufficient to clear ram, clean master is sufficient to clean the junk
                  7.) try keep your lock screen blank
                  8.) clear app frequently
                  9.) do not set alarm in repeat mode
                  10.) If you still see battery as bad - then do a factory reset to your mobile - your mobile will be with kitkat version but your zen ui will be outdated - do not update your zen ui.

                                  Question I am planning to buy a brand new zenfone 5 and update it as soon as I get home till the last jellybean update. Do i have to backup my data and do a full restore? Because the phone is pretty much empty anyway.

                                      If there is user in the name, you should not unzip that file further.
