    AnonD-279813, 24 Sep 2014A bit lame test, but… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjkwaLvnKjE Second one is a bit bet... morethe second video is more convincing about scratch resistance, he's doing worse than my friend did. in the first link, yes it's lame, haha, they should had shown a drop test onto the concrete instead on the wood. but still, all in all, excellent phone, satisfying for me except for the battery but still hoping kitkat will spare for it. and thank to the transmitter thing you've shared. i don't get it much but i got an idea to find mor in google. Thanks

But the Swype has the voice and drawing buttons, which can be switched off.

                  Swype has more layouts and dictionaries than stock keyboard, but both of them are performing well.

                  Prefer them over the Samsung and Sony ones. Oppo comes with Swype as default anyway, and HTC is in the same class anyway.

                    When you start nearing that figure, it'll start warning you that you're about to run out.

                    If your internet is unlimited, you can disable that.

The general rule still applies, if it heats up, let it cool down. It will also help to kill running applications as they tend to cause the CPU to overwork. As for the KitKat update, the Philippine ASUS page has confirmed just today that the KitKat update is coming very, very soon.

                            Hi, Gian. We actually have the same name, LOL. To fix that issue, please go to Settings > Data Usage. It will show you a graph of your consumed amount of data. On the graph, you will see an orange horizontal bar indicating the data cap. The bar is adjustable. Just drag it higher and that should fix it.

                                      sreeedhar, 24 Sep 2014sir please tell me the correct version of latest update for my asus zenfone 5 a501cg (WW).as u... moreLast version for WWE-Android is 1.18.40.

                                      http://www.mega-networks.asia/ZenFone/ZenFone5_WW_Firmware/UL_ASUS_T00F_WW_1_18_40_9.zip
                                      This is complete firmware file which requires no previous updates, it's all-in-one. However you can only install it if you do not already have 1.18 installed.

                                      To install it over previous 1.18 you'd need to root your phone to make it accept this file, which is not recommended.

                                      The next version of firmware (Asus promised KitKat in the last week of September) will overwrite whole JellyBean anyway, so there's your chance to upgrade if you're already on incomplete 1.18 without the will to root.

                                        Hi Tomazz,
                                        Please make confirm if Intel processor does support all older android apps as well ?

                                        I have some apps which is there since pre ICS version of android & some non-play store apps so I am worried if it won't support or start crashing frequently, that's why there is hesitation in my mind to switch over to Intel processes(zenfone 5)
