Thanks for the reply amitkk,
i went for the update. But there was no difference after the update.
Incomming call quality is rly bad... its not clear. Most of the time i am not able to understand what the other person is saying.
Andmy wifi too is not connecting. It got connected yesterday in the morning once. But not after that.
I give up on this piece. Its faulty I'm sure.
Going for an exchange.
Had a very bad experience with asus.

Hello buddies, I just want to check how's app ops starter working to you guys. It seems it does nothing on battery even blocking permissions seems to be null. For example, disabling messenger's permission to access camera, I can still use the camera. Google play services is still running on background as I checked the app and power statistics. And I went to google play store, for app ops' feedback, they said that the function of app ops' was disabled by google on 4.4.2.

m.k, 12 Nov 2014They keypad not working properly not even displaying to type anything aft KitKat update pl help....I've also encountered that issue before after upgrading from Jellybean to kitkat. You can download a third party app like swiftkey...that's what I did before and it worked.

Yesterday I received a new update from Asus via OTA, and my phone is now running on WW_user_2.20.40.13. The new update that I installed fixed the 'lost keyboard' issue. Once you received the newest update from Asus, you just need to go to Setting>Language & Input>Choose Asus Keyboard and set it as your default keyboard.

I just also found out earlier that my issue with USSD/mmi has been fixed after installing the new update that I received from Asus (WW_user_2.20.40.13).

The only problem that I have now after receiving the new update from Asus are:
1. Battery still draining relatively fast compared to my other phones
2. Weak rear speaker even with audio wizard turned ON and set to Music mode....still weak if I will compare it to my previous phones.
