          What is difference between ZenFone 5 (A500CG) and ZenFone 5 (A501CG)'s phone ?

          Asus Official website shows A500CG's specifications but other place and flipcart sell A501CG.

          Please suggest...

                Hi.

                I need help because my zenfone battery does not increase though I've charged it for a whole night. it only increased from 6% to 39%. this happen after I upgraded to kitkat 4.4.

                I thought maybe it will turns back normal after factory data reset. but it stays the same. Can I just downgrade to JB 4.3?

                  5200 and 10400 mAh Mi power bank. how do you think each would last with a middle type user? if ever asus won't able to fix the issue, i think i should go for this option.

                        Can asus or google still improve this battery issue? Overall it is awesome but the downside is the battery. I want to still hope that there would be a fix and they still working for it.

                            Kitkat update just ruined the phone completely... Superb battery consumption and lots of crashes here and there... Hope Asus fixes this as early as possible...

Copy your own MP3 or AAC files to these folders to make them available in selections for sound settings.

                                        I have purchased Asus Zenfone 5 from flipkart. It has hair like scratch/damage on top in corner of right side, which was not noticed initially noticed. When I noticed and contacted to flipkart then they refused to replace the product. They told me, you need to inform about this in 48hrs.

                                        Now, I am facing another problem with this phone related to charging. When I put phone on charging then if it is at 50%... then though I get display of charging but even after 30 min, I find same charging percentage of 50%. Sometime, charging gets reduced even though it is put on charging, like that…40%, 35%..... 20%, 10%...

                                        When I contacted to service center in Delhi then they refuse to avail warranty.

                                        I chased for this phone for more than 1½ months and when it came, then… thus disappointments come.
