                            The only two things that i dont like about this phone are camera and battery ...

                            But thats fine if the camera is not at its best .. i also accept the fact that battery drains fast cause of the intel atom processor but if theres only a way atleast to conserve battery..

                            I dont play games often.. i checked and browse internet once in a while.. i still notice the battery drops from 100 fast even without using it.


                            I tried to stop some services like what i saw on the previous posts but some features or work of some apps will be comprised.. or maybe i just dont know which are the services that can be stopped .. so

                            If is not to much too ask of u guys .. can u please list down all of the service that we could stop as long as everything will still work properly and that will be highly appreciated.. thanks


                            Ps. I dont go on rooting yet, since the phone is still under on 7 days replacement period.. hehe..here inthe philippines..

                              i installed some games like riptide gp2 and asphalt 8 and noticed that they run fine for 1 day but start crashing 2nd day onwards. Read online that its because they are made for arm architecture and zf5 has intel processor so they arnt compatible. any1 else face the same problem or have any solution?

                                    Hey people, why can't I use 3rd party File Managers for editing my data on SD Card... It says something about Kitkat update doesn't allow it... But while using the same File Manager on a Moto G2 and Xperia Z1 (both running 4.4.4), it works... Please help...

                                        Virenh83, 12 Nov 2014Dear Tomazz, This was my query which i had posted yesterday. I think it does not matter which update you go for.

                                        Personally I would download full update. But you could as well download OTA update, then do a full factory reset so it clears any mess left behind by Jelly Bean.

                                        So either way should be OK. Full update or OTA with full reset... Actually - do full reset in any case.
