    AnonD-308768, 23 Oct 2014Now it is not booting by pressing up volume + power of volume done + power .. Battery is wa... moreWhat exactly have you done and what exactly happens when you power on the phone?

    Pressing power+volume down should always bring you into boot menu, as that's hardware function of the phone, regardless of what's loaded on it.

    But you must power off the phone, and press both buttons at the same time, then continue holding them until logo shows. Then use volume up/down to move between menu options, and power button to confirm.

                  That's assuming there's no problem in the software.

                  I didn't notice much if any difference between the phone with, and the other without this updated OS. However I have not seen release notes so I wasn't really looking for any differences...

                    I would estimate the drain to 1% in 5-6 minutes on 3G in my configuration, with very strong signal and relatively dim screen (set to auto, slider to 50% but due to reflection on iMac's screen I need to keep the curtains closed to prevent headache).

                            I am loving my Zenfone 5. I work online so I needed a phone that supports at least 3G (HSPA+). I am subscribed to 2 network providers for business continuity. And Zenfone 5 is that answer to the solution I need. Thank you ASUS.

                                Dont know why are you people so excited about kitkat.Kitkat update was a huge problem and i got downgraded to jellybean by service centre.
                                I am using jellybean 4.3 with 1.18.9.40 version with full manual update and as before my phone is running superb excellent.i am very very impressed with zenfone 5,my battery lasts 6-7 hours after 3G use.
                                Check ur network signals,decrease ur brightness,clear all background apps ur battery will also be fine like mine,set location access only to network disable wifi.
                                I have 125 apps and games installed on my phone.
