I got my Zen 5 today. Havent opened the parcel yet. I'm excited about getting my hands on the new gadget as well as worried that it might be a faulty one...

Can some one please tell me which is the most stable upgrade version of jelly bean and what is the procedure of installing the updates through sideload?

Also,is it possible to use anti shock tempered glass screen guard along with a flip cover?

Awaiting answers eagerly.
Thank you.

            Everything about this phone is great except for one crucial thing - the battery life. The battery life for it given on this site is wrong. It only lasts about HALF a day. Not a full day. No way.

            I can't use this as a travel phone with such a short battery life. It depletes about the same rate as it charges which is ridiculous. The sales rep never told me that of course. Now I'll have to buy another phone.

                                  Nice phone but battery life to short, everything fine in this phone but can't provide tracking service and insurance.

                                        1)Where to find the Face unlock in this?? some people are saying that it is there. But i can't find it.

                                        2) In calling screen numbers are showing very small after updating to kitkat. How to increase its size??
