AnonD-308768, 23 Sep 2014If there will be any update for firmware in future. ..hos will i get all? ...please help me in... moreKitKat will be full system overwrite anyway. If you don't want to download 1.4 GB over your cellular connection, I would recommend you choose not to download it, and instead use your computer to connect to Asus website, phones, Zenfone 5, support, drivers and downloads, Android - and download complete update file.
I will place the file onto my server as a mirror as well, in case Asus site is busy.
As for the charger - it's fine. Anything is fine between 0.5 and 2.5 A, 5V USB. Only difference is the time it takes to charge the battery full, and the heat that charging causes - if you are charging on 35C ambient temperature or warmer, do not exceed 2.1A.

Ringer (spea... moreAgree about speaker, it should be a lot louder. It's not clear whether it's amplifier problem, or the system problem. The 1.15 has increased the volume, but if you skipped that update, you are still on original volume, which was pathetic.
But in traffic you should use vibration anyway.
As for the camera quality, maybe your phone is broken if the back camera is worse than front one.
I have added some more examples to mega-networks.asia/ZenCam/
If your photos are much worse than these, your phone might have bad sensor or lens.
Note on night lowlight photos - that was taken from rotating platform, so LL mode was really the only option. Oppo Find 7 and Sony Xperia Z2 produced completely smudged photos, and Samsung S5's ones were a blurry mess.

AnonD-289214, 23 Sep 2014One of my friends says that his asus zenfone 5 doesn't Read/Write SD Card.
Is it true ?
Shou... moreMicroSD cards from reputable brands in sizes up to 64 GB are supported.
Noname crap cards may not be. Like cameras, or computers' card readers need to get tested for specific cards, so do the phones, and some lousy ones may not be supported.
Another thing is that they need to be formatted in FAT32.

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)

AnonD-308768, 23 Sep 2014Dear tomaaz ....
i did the same way :((update ) . I dont have major issues like sim card not ... moreWhile it could be fault of the phone's charge regulator chip, it is just as possible that you have a problem with the phone's charger or cable.
Using Samsung Galaxy Note II charger (2.5A) and a belt cable, the phone should charge from 0 to 100% in under 3 hours.
Obviously 0.5A charger would need 5x longer… and if there was anything wrong with cable, it could take forever.
So try to check these 2 first…
And until you find out that cable has no problems, please don't copy any firmware updates into the phone through that cable.

And it said 1.18.40 was available…
If you did that, then unfortunately there's not much we can do until the next firmware comes out.
At that time load complete firmware, not only FOTA update.
But with SIM slots not working either, your issues could be deeper.
Contact the seller or Asus service center.

amit jain , 22 Sep 2014Dear touch is better than iphone.Iphone touch 76 ms whereas asus zenfone 5 touch response 60ms... moreI'm not looking at it from pure miliseconds of response time.
What I am looking at is how many times I felt that the phone is lagging, and when it registered the wrong taps, like when I just wanted to scroll but it opened the app instead.
I can't remember any of that happening on the Zen.
On others though - happened a lot. So there's absolutely nothing wrong with the touch function on the screen. It's actually one of the most perfected touch systems out there.
