Asus Zenfone 5 A500CG (2014) - user opinions and reviews

I have upgraded my Zenfone 5 to Android 4.4.2, 10 days back. Before upgrading the phone's performance was good. After upgrading, the following problems have started.

1) Everytime I hang up after a call, the phone displays a black screen. Then I have to Restart my phone to use it. If the party at the other end hangs up, then this does not happen.

2) The battery drains much much faster than before.

3) The phone starts heating up for no reason.

Can i be guided to revert back to the previous version of android?

dear readers,

greetings to all of you.. I am currently using this Zenfone 5 and really amazed how it works and how user friendly this mobile phone.
but one thing I discovered just now is, when the system upgrade was completed and reboot completed, I couldn't see the "keyboard" afterwards.
anyone can advice?

thanks to all the users

After kit Kat update I have to swipe the lock screen even if it is a pattern or any other lock. It's like having two locks. And there are some Bluetooth issues too.
Any help would be grateful

AnonD-315353, 17 Oct 2014international version means..One that comes with WWE-ANDROID and has WW-3G modem printed at the back of the box.

If the back of the box is written in Chinese, and has CU-ANDROID in it, then you might get some headache when using it as it does not support all the different languages, and comes with more Chinese-centric apps.

If you buy one from official distributor in your country, and you don't live in China, Taiwan, Macau or Hong Kong, you'll be getting international version.
