What version are you on now?
In either case I'd recommend flashing phone with newer firmware than current one, a full firmware file (not OTA). If you are on 1.14, then load 1.18.40.9 full firmware (around 700 MB), if you're on 1.18 already, and don't mind moving to KK, then try 2.19.
Do note that in the latter case you will need to do a cache partition wipe and full restore from recovery partition, so it cleans up anything that could be causing troubles.

I) Wat about camera quality and ca... moreProcessor and RAM management are OK, it is better in managing it than Samsung's GUI. As for camera - I just posted some samples a couple of posts back - there's a link to a folder on server, where some photos are uploaded. They are untouched.
The end of the name has a code in capitals, that's Panorama, LowLight, DepthofField, HDR, MiniTure effect. One of the photos (showing 2 minidisc players) is taken with front-cam. The rest with back cam.

MAHI, 06 Nov 2014in zenfone5 8/16gb memory which is good and 8gb contains hw much ram can tell Original models with 8 GB eMMC had 1 GB RAM, those were early A500CG TOOF models. They might still be kicking around, usually with Chinese only Android version.
All WW models, A501CG, with 8 GB eMMC came with 2 GB RAM, and all 16 GB eMMC versions, whether A501CG (3G dual SIM) or A500KL (4G single SIM) come with 2 GB RAM.

hero, 06 Nov 2014how is the camera quality,battry backup, and sound quality..plz reply planning for buy it..Camera samples are on http://www.mega-networks.asia/ZenCam
Battery - totally varies on use, and whether you're willing to kill Google Play Services.
I get 2 days out of it with some to spare. Some get far less than that, but if you read this thread, you'll find tips how to improve that.
Sound quality is OK on headphones, but speaker volume is low.

this phone generally is super cool for its level. reasonable. worth of money. but the bad thing is, i've been using it for just 5 months, and the ASUS memory boost already indicates that the RAM is 80% used. the heck? i have cleared everything that works behind the screen. ada sesiapa yg boleh tolong figure out this problem it would be very helpful. thanks. have a nice day
