Anonymous, 03 Oct 2014plzz anyone tell me how and where can i buy this phone.
I am from India.Flipkart, Asus India.
If you have any friends visiting Thailand, I can share you some information where they can pick it up here.
It's about 1500 cheaper than in India here, but comes without Indian warranty.

Check under Security, Set up PIN, for both of the SIM cards, whether any of them has PIN lock enabled.

AnonD-314791, 03 Oct 2014Umm. My doubt was.. in the link that u provided.. The fw of T00F was given..so my question is ... moreTOOF and TOOJ use same firmware but might have different SKUs.
So TOOF or TOOJ, you need to make sure that the SKU matches. TW to TW, CN to CN, WW to WW…
But TOOF/TOOJ have identical hardware and the firmware is for both.

Tomazz, i got a problem after the kitkat update, about the lock screen. before, my lock was pattern alone, but after the update, it locks into two types, swipe (i don't know why did it was enabled, i didn't change anything in the settings yet) and my chosen lock, pattern. i want to use 1 pattern alone like before.

Note that ZenFone supports 3G only on SIM1, while SIM2 is only 2G. If you tried to set the second SIM to 3G there could be an error.
BTW: in my case all the phones only detect my phone number on SIM1 but not on SIM2. No matter what SIM I stick in it… Complained about it but apparently nobody else has...

AnonD-313233, 03 Oct 2014I had 1.18.40.9 and then I upgrade to 1.18.40.10 from my phone. Should I upgrade to 2.19.40.6 ... moreIf you can wait that couple of days, installing full KitKat, followed by a factory reset would be the best way forward.
After file is available, download it.
Unzip the file, and place it somewhere on desktop.
Open phone's settings, and tap Storage. In top right corner tap on USB logo, and make sure MTP is selected.
Plug phone into the computer's USB port, and wait until it appears under Computer/My Computer.
Double click to open it, then open Internal Storage (or whatever it's called in your language).
Place the unzipped file from desktop to this root folder of the internal storage.
Wait for it to complete copying, then unplug the cable.
You should notice notification at the top that new update is available. Install it.
Once it's done, either do a full recovery from the recovery mode, or do a full reset from inside Settings.

[deleted post]Do a complete factory reset.
Sometimes the specific settings done earlier interfere with the incremental updates.
Kind of like if you upgraded Windows 7 into Windows 8… some old stuff loaded started acting up. It's far better to backup your files, format the hard disk and install it clean.
Well here you can either do that, or, what is more common, upgrade first, then do a factory reset, which restores to default stock OS and removes all custom settings and apps.
Those you can then redo and reload.
