              Hi Z5 users ----

              I have upgraded to kitkat 2.20.40.13 release on november 5th-------battery was a bit concern ------

              I have done factory resetting afteri upgrated my phone to kitkat - and with heavy usage my battery goes from 98% morning 8AM to 3% the next day morning 7 AM ---- we can expect better than this.......
              After upgrading - doing factory resetting will make your mobile as smooth as ever with better battery performance -----buyt you moght lose some data like watsapp history - message history etc......but thats fine

                Go for 730 if you want to feel windows touch and camera of 730 is a top notch - equivalent to 20MP sony cameras......

                If you are determined to buy android - close your eyes and buy Z5 as it is the next best thing available in the market than MI3

                    Can you tell me whether the app can run with the phone switched off? I usually switch off my phone and then charge it.

                              Most smartphones when they say 8GB internal storage or whatever the size is, it is not technically the size shown on the paper. Of course the Android operating system needs to allocate atleast 2GB or so for its system files which is most of the time as read only. So technically when you say 8GB you have to expect that it will be deducted by 1GB or 2GB atleast. That goes for all smartphones even on idevices by Apple.

                              If you are expecting a full 8GB then expect that there will be no Android operating system in it.

                                        1. Root method that worket for me without problem:

                                        http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/root-asus-zenfone-5-kitkat-4-4-2-100-t2947092

                                        2. install Hibernate not Greenify (hibernate=greenify+money)

                                        3. install DisableService and disable the 'location' services on googleplayservices

                                        You would get 50% or more battery time. :-)
