AnonD-317366, 26 Oct 2014Hi Tomazz,
Just a curiosity question.In the full firmware update from Asus website,if ifwi.zi... moreIn general it should work fine, but there are some models of A500CG that come with different modems. Loading A501CG firmware into A500CG could give you an error, and could render the modem useless, so you'd lose data access, in some cases also calling ability and crash the moment you try to open the phone app.
The other way around this should not happen, but since 501CG is using same hardware as most of the 500CG, and as such should be supported.
But given the code for the 2 models is different, there could be different errors in them which are addressed in updates. This means that applying an update for the other model might not fix the issues your previously installed update had.
I personally prefer to stick to correct files, or combo files, which contain code for both models.

I already knew about the confirmation of Lollipop, but what matters most for now is a more stable Kitkat.

Anonymous, 26 Oct 2014Hi blackskis, How much battery backup you get for the above mentioned usage pattern by you. ... moreIt gives avarage battery back .. i used it myself.after 100% of charge and if you continiously on internet then it will stay 24 hours or more . You can understand the standby time will be good.. battery is not so good but it is not so bad as well

Asus really comes up with a great phone.. there is only one issue with the phone that is the brightnes is not so good as it should be in a 720 x 1280 pixels display and the battery takes time to full charge . Rest of the phone is excellent in respect of performance and everything. I really like the touch of the phone it is damn smooth

AnonD-323984, 25 Oct 2014hey bro do u face any kind of problem after downgrading ur zenfone os to jelly bean ??
and w... moreNo there is no problem after dowmgrade to jellybean,after downgrade updated to 1.18.40.9 from asus website 676 mb file.
Phone is again working superb like before.
Kitkat update was a major flaw.Black screen appeared after hanging the call,phone heated too much,sd card data problem and excessive battery drain.
There is not a big difference between jelly bean and kitkat so i will stay witb jelly bean

Just a curiosity question.In the full firmware update from Asus website,if ifwi.zip contains file *_500cg.bin right ?I mean nothing specific for 501cg.bin.So my impression that 500cg files can be used for 501cg also?
