          [deleted post]I would take the phone to the service center and say you have a concern about heating and ask them for an advice.

          My opinion is that not everything is OK with your phone.

                  [deleted post]2 ways: wait for phone to download OTA update, and tap that you want to install it.

                  or

                  Download it from Asus website, plug the phone into the computer, unzip file and copy it to the root of internal memory of the phone then unplug cable.

                  You'll be asked if you want to install it - tap yes. Wait for process to complete.

                      Maylyn, 30 Sep 2014Today i bought the azus 5 instead of nokia lumia 630 and huawei p2., i hope i wont regret it.,... moreI only have Lumia 930 and it's a lovely phone. But perfectly honestly I do not like Windows Mobile much. And very much hate the tiles.

                      Just my personal opinion, so despite Google spying on me, I prefer the look of Android.

                      As said, I do not know Nokia 630 so it's hard to comment on it.

                      But I believe that you will like the overall package of Zen.

                                      AnonD-103085, 30 Sep 2014So how is this phone? Great screen? Vivid? Bright? Sunlight Legibility? Camera? Performance? I... moreThe phone is ok. Screen is ok. It can be vivid but not like AMOLED. Sunlight legibility is better than AMOLED and many IPS. Maybe because I use matte film. Camera is OK for the 8 megapixel shooter, with some great effects and modes not available even on high end cameras. Low light is better than most other phones, but noisy. Performance is good.

                                      Speaker volume has been improved somewhat with one of earlier updates, but it's still not as loud as some others. If you want a phone that you can hear from 100m get Oppo Find 7.

                                      Battery backup is not the best.

                                      If updates would fix anything… Well, KitKat is just about to be released, I've just received today but had no time to load it yet. I guess we'll know very soon.

                                      The phone is solidly built toy with reasonable camera, great hand grip and excellent interface. It looks and feels far more expensive than it really is.
