I just wanna ask what is the version of the last update on jellybean.

Based on the comments, I think I'll wait for the stable kitkat update. So, I would like to know what is the latest jellybean update.

I'd also want to ask if you can update your phone from the first update to your desired update version(for me that's jellybean's last update) all at once. I heard that the updates greatly improve battery back-up, that's why I'm interested.

I still doesn't have the device until tomorrow, but if someone will answer my questions, I'll deeply appreciate it. It will also be my first android device so I kinda don't know the basics. Thanks!

                                HI Tomazz,

                                When you people going to fix the speaker lower sound problem.

                                Not only me its with all the users whos using this Zenfone 5. The speaker volume is very very low. When you put your voice call on speaker or when you want to listen songs and movies you have to put the phone near by your ear to listen it clearly.

                                Please update when you going to fix this issue . Otherwise I will go to sell this Mobile and will buy Micromax Knight, as its have a great sound speaker and have the same configuration.
