I also notice the display app is the highest user in my batt apps list... any way to minimize it... also the media even when im not using it. Android should have shut off switch that works... even when I use stop under settings I can still see the app in my list...

I have been using this phone for 5 weeks. Overall, im satisfied with the phone.
The camera is great except the pinkish pic.
the sound is okay, it is quite low sound but doesnt bother me much.
the batery is fine, i use it from 8 am till 10pm with normal use.
i really like the ZenUI.
sometimes has heating problem. Just for awhile. But it doesnt bother its performance.
no langging so far. Im using 2gb ram one.
no wifi connection problem or any other stated problem.
I love the keypad and bumper view.
no lagging in playing games.
btw, u cant compare this phone with other high price phone. But for a phone with this price range, this is the best phone u can get in market.

I use it normally but the battery won't even last more than 8hours. I really got duped from this purchase. I won't look at Asus phones or tabs unless it has bigger battery. 2100mAH? I don't think so

Bharat, 11 Oct 2014Hey Tomazz.. I really appreciate your patience and tech knowledge. Been following your post. ... morehow to do fast boot reset? we just got the phone on thursday. 3 days ago and haven't upgraded to kitkat. our main concern is even we are not using the phone, it drains easily while its on standby mode. we are trying to observe the phone. the main reason we purchased this phone is mainly because of the price and the mAh of the phone thinking that we can use the phone whole day and to get rid of charging the phone all the time.

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.
