mr_anipz, 11 Oct 2014well i read this thread from before i bought my zenfone until now..for me this phone is a grea... moreCan you suggest a video on how to install updates on a rooted phone?i rooted my zenfone coz I was thinking maybe theres just too many apps that's why battery drains fast but I was wrong, battery problem still there but Im unable to update the phone to kitkat, I read some comments that rooted device needs to have manual update so... Im hear to learn :)
Asus Zenfone is a nice phone but needs to be honest about its battery because I used Lenovo with same battery and screen but would last longer than my zenfone :( just sad I don't know what they where thinking, battery is very important

I'm asking you for HELP because I lost hope how to fix my problem with my new Asus Zenfone 5 on my own. I bought phone from China - Spemall.com (good and safe website). Phone is brilliant and very well made all is perfect except one thing - it was no play store installed. All other phones and tablets from them had play store installed this is first time when I had device without it.

khalid, 11 Oct 2014hi guys yesterday i updated to kitkat and i cannot access internet through mobile data when... moreI also faced the same problem. After updated it to kit Kat I did factory reset several times to resolve this issue, but I couldn't. After that I inserted aircel SIM instead of Vodafone SIM in my primary slim slot. Then I found that apn settings was working properly with aircel SIM. Then I did factory reset once more keeping the aircel SIM inside. After that I replaced the aircel SIM with Vodafone, and configured the apn for vodafone. Now everything is working properly.

Download either Battery Doctor or Clean Master.. they both have the ability to tell your temperature and shut down programs to cool it.

Hey Tomazz.. I really appreciate your patience and tech knowledge. Been following your post. I have a small query regarding the battery drain issue. I got this phone 3 months back as soon as it was launched and have done all the updates from Asus till date. My version is V 2.19.40.18 all through OTA. In between I remember there was a small OTA update provided by Asus for phone heating and battery drain issues. I did that and got rid of phone heating issue but the battery drain still persist. After reading thru your posts and also as advised similar by Asus I did a fastboot reset. This helped to plug the battery drain but not to a satisfactory level. The phone lasts for about 8-9 hours with very minimun usage. The standby time is good but if it is used to check emails and other messaging apps it drains almost 1% for 2 minutes of use.
Now the patch suggested by you will help me here or it is the same one that I have already downloaded. Please suggest.
Also suggest if there is any other alternative to plug the battery leak if I have missed some of your comments before.
Thanks for reading this through
