    Dear Tomazz ,

    I want to ask you some questions for my curiosity.

    is new update going to be 4.4.3 or 4.4.2 only.

    And if no then are zenfone users going to get 4.4.3 and 4.4.4 update in future OR
    after 4.4.2 we will be directly going to get android L update.

                      AnonD-321150, 29 Oct 2014How's the battery? And the double screen lock? B taeery ,I guess it it's on improvement path- the standby time.
                      Anycase I rooted it do a downclock and I don't think it is correct for me to make any statement on battery now.
                      Sorry ,no idea on double lock.Sole intention of rooting itself was to install Email clients with no PIN policy !!!

                        For those who are having APN problems after the KitKat update, this is what Asus is recommending for the time being.

                        This worked for me.
                        Or else you can downgrade it back to JB.

                              Dear All, would like bring in attention to person who has selected few Anroid mobile and Asus Zenfone5 is one of them. I have been in same phase 1.5 month back and after lots review/ search I have purchased Zenfone5. Its amazing Phone that you can get below 10k of course 8gb phone. Initially I was thinking it has 4.3JB but guys tremendous support and update I am getting from Asus and in one month phone has been updated to 4.4 KK. I am having no trouble in this phone. Battery life is for around 24hrs as I am using so many apps and net surf too - I think its same for all Anroid phones. Guys go for it.

                                      stop updating to kitkat unless you dont know what you are doing. kitkat is not stable at the moment. stop shits of updating for the sake you are on a latest OS. its like a mini computer. if you want it as it is, ignore updates if you dont know well the updates via OTA or service center.
