                  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
