AnonD-279813, 27 Oct 2014That's the problem. You probably did not get the phone with 1.18.40.9 to get that OTA update.
... moreHi Tomazz,
First of all, thank you a lot for reply.
Ohhh...no...
I can recall what was the version out of the box.
Ok....I havent updated to Kitkat..thats good I think then if stable update is coming soon.
So will this stable kitkat update solve the issues which were solved by updates between 1.14 and 1.18
Do you suggest that I downgrade to 1.14 from 1.18 and then incrementally update to 1.18.40.9.
If yes, I think I need to do that manually as OTA will update me to latest version directly.

App ops starter is really awesome app suggested by tomazz.
It helped me a lot.
My zenfone 5 was suffering from battery drain issue before 15 days then I followed tomazz opinion of hard reset.
And then my phone worked properly for 15 days.
then I installed "App ops starter" before 5 days.
Suddenly battery drain problem started from yesterday's night.
In morning I came to about the problem.
Then I gone through my "app ops starter" and came to know that camera app was running continuously even after using "force stop" option which was eating my 6% per hour.
then I disabled all permissions of camera app from "app ops starter" and restarted the phone.
Now my phone is working fine(back to normal eating 1% per hour on standby).
"app ops starter" shows you which apps are running.
Apps running on top are continuously running apps.
Once you clicks on any app , you can see which parts of apps are running(eg. location , read contacts, keep awake ) .
thanks a lot tomazz

AnonD-317366, 27 Oct 2014Thankx for your comments.As you said when you have correct files avaialble,wy to take risk.
B... moreCorrect, it is not detected as an update as it's not released software and as such not properly signed.
That's why so many warnings in that previous message.

AnonD-324442, 27 Oct 2014Hey Tomazz,
I have always done a clean factory reset n wipe before and after a full update,... moreThe only issue that I still have is that once or twice a day, the SD card seems to be unmounted and remounted.
I don't know when or why this happens, but I noticed it because there was SD card logo in notifications, telling me that SD card has just been inserted. Obviously I didn't touch it.
However apart from seeing notification it never happened during taking photos or recording videos, which is what I use SD for. Or during watching video or listening to music.
So I'm not sure what causes that. I am not the only one with this issue and it has been reported.
Apart from that - no issues.

AnonD-322648, 27 Oct 2014Hi Tomazz,
First of all thank you for your lots of suggestions and feedbacks.Those are really... moreThat's the problem. You probably did not get the phone with 1.18.40.9 to get that OTA update.
It likely came with 1.14 which means that the update you received, missed out all the other updates, which fixed camera, speaker, LED indicator, flash, Wifi, ...
I blame Asus for screwing up updating system, which should have installed every update available after your current version, not only the last one.
KitKat with battery patch should not have worse battery life than 1.18.40.10, if any, better.
I do recommend you do look into clipping the wings of some of the software that loves sucking the battery, like Facebook messenger, Blackberry messenger, Skype...
You also have an option of waiting another 3 weeks until full next KitKat firmware is planned for release.
