    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

                                      Freinds dont try to update ur zenfone for bcoz this update brings many problems to ur phone. So it'll be Better to wait for another stable kitkat update from Asus. Hoping that asus will release a stable kitkat update without any issues for the Zenfone.

                                        Ok guys I'm on kitkat since the day it was released. I'm facing issues but not all of which guys r reporting here.
                                        I'm facing a few issues like
                                        1) Sd card unmounts n mounts itself back
                                        2) my phone forgets saved wifi passwords sometimes
                                        3) the obvious battery issue. Now with the battery fix update my battery has improved but not by much. Standby has improved a lot.
                                        Hopefully the next update will fix most of our problems.
