Ash, 19 Oct 2014I just updated it to kitkat and now the red light is not shown while charging. Is that common?No, that's not common. Is it only not showing during charge or not at all?
There's a Motorola LED widget that I'm using since notification light was broken in JB, so I am not sure how it works without it but I assume it should, as there is now even option in settings to turn it off or on.
You don't have it turned off in settings by any chance?

AnonD-321728, 20 Oct 2014guys, I'm facing problem with charging. Occasionally it stuck while it's not fully charge and ... moreThat is not normal and may be a hardware issue. I would recommend you contact Asus.
Looking at what could be causing this, the charging regulator might not work properly or get overheated, hence cutting the power to protect battery, or the battery itself could be overheating. But it's just as possible the USB charger or cable could have issues.
I am fairly confident that this is hardware related.

AnonD-317624, 20 Oct 2014guys? is it possible if i just update my firmware instead of updating also from jb to kitkat? ... moreYou can only update to full 1.18.40.9 firmware, which is last JB.
1.18.40.10 is preparation for KitKat, which replaces recovery partition from JB to KK, so while you can install it, that won't make any changes in phone's operations as there are no fixes in it.

it best phone ever in jellybean,despite so many warnings why are you people upgrading to kitkat.
asus co is highly responsive and helped me out to downgrade from kitkat to jellybean.And phone is working fine again.
if ur in india and ur jellybean out of box version is 1.14, than do manual update only for 1.18.9 from ww version of asus india website it is 600 mb file approx.
you all are so much excited about kitkat as if your world will change.kitkat has lots of problems in various phones i have read in various reviews.
my phone battery lasts for 6-8 hours after moderate 3G and gaming use.It is not a pc but small phone and tell me which phone life is better than this be it android/apple smartphones.I have used samsung with 2.3 gingerbread & sony xperia 4.0 having same battery time with single sim and lesser screen size.
for asus- before giving any update please first try on ur developers phones rather than getting a bad name

time and again i have warned not to update to kitkat.With jellybean this is the best phone ever.
go to service center and get your phone downgraded to jelly bean 4.3 with software version 1.14 than manually update from asus india site update ww version of 1.18.which is 676 mb file and has atrributes of 1.15,1.16 and 1.17.
it is best phone ever @10,000 even apple faced problems after ios8 update.Asus is responsive company it helped in quick resolution of same kitkat problem i faced by downgrading to jellybean.
again phone has become very fine as before.People were so excited for kitkat update as if the world will change for them from jellybean to kitkat.
my battery life is 6-8 hrs on 3G use and gaming and can anyone tell me which other android or apple phone can give better than this
