I don't see an improvement on battery as mine was very humble even in the past, but at the same time also not any other problems.

Note that I no longer use flip cover, so I don't know about that.

Choose Android under the operating systems, then you will see the Firmwares at the top of the list that shows up. Why Malaysia? Because it's in English so you guys can read it, and does not redirect to shop like Singapore.

My build is ASUS_TOOJ_WW_user_2.19.40.18_20141003_8008_release-keys-044000307_201407220024

Since this differs from operator to operator, I would suggest you to check their website how to set it up or take it to their shop.

AnonD-313233, 08 Oct 2014What do you mean by previous update OTA and install 700mb update? Where can I get this 700mb u... moreThat's Asus' update fault.

That's why speaker sucks, so does camera flash, there's overheating of CPU, etc.

Because 1.15, 1.16 and 1.17 updates which fix all these issues are skipped.

Anyone with new phone, that hasn't updated anything yet, should go to Asus website, and in support and drivers find the full OS update for 1.18.40.9, and load that.

This full update contains all of the fixes of the previous OTA updates, it is a complete package.

Alternatively, you can download them all from here:

http://www.mega-networks.asia/ZenFone/ZenFone5_WW_Firmware

But please beware this folder only contains updates for WWE-Androis and WW SKU.

If you have a Chinese version, do NOT use these files.

Asus website on the other hand has all versions.

The 2 FOTA updates are incremental. They are not complete firmware and are only to be used if you have loaded full previous version.
