suresh, 24 Sep 2014Sir any one help me is the asus zenfone5 has a 3g Videocalling facility:
Im not able to get... moreSorry, Zenfone does not support 3G video calling.
You can only have video calling over Skype, Line, etc. software, which use either cellular data connection or wifi connection. Apart from cost of data (if you are not on unlimited plan), the calls in those bits of software are free, and most have PC/Mac version for computer as well, apart from being multi-platform (iOS/Android/Windows Phone/Blackberry), so getting your contacts to use same program should not be a very big problem.

khushbu, 24 Sep 2014hey can u tell me how is the cammera of asus zenfone five, nd how the works led flash when we ... moreOn original firmware flash was very weak and that was fixed in 1.15 I believe, so if you load all OTA firmware updates one after another, or load full 1.18 update the flash is OK, about the same as others.
Camera samples are in mega-networks.asia/ZenCam
LL is Low Light mode, PN is Panorama, HDR is … well, HDR, DF is fake depth of field, MN is miniature effect.
To see pics, click on their names, and back button in browser to return to the list. I recommend you download the pics and open them in a software that you would normally use.
One of the photos in there (of 2 minidisc players) is taken with the front camera, the rest are with rear camera.

For connection to computer - try another USB slot or different USB cable. Even if cable works for charging it might not work for data - there are 4 cables inside, and 2 are used for power and other 2 for data. So worth to try any other USB cable, especially well-built ones like those of portable hard disks.
Then of course another USB slot is because the driver needs to be installed for each of the USB sockets. I've posted link to USB driver for Windows 7, which you may wish to try to install to replace stock Windows driver.
Then make sure that your phone is in MTP mode - in Storage, tap on USB logo top right and choose MTP, and NOT Camera.
Last but not least, reboot both phone and Windows computer before trying again.
As for the screen - it is of course possible that the phone is having a yellow tinted display, but it is also possible that it is just wrongly calibrated.
Asus includes a "Splendid" app, where you can set colour tone and intensity.
Try that to see if you can get acceptable results.

aulia, 24 Sep 2014dear tomazz, here is my zenfone description
asus_toof (a500cg), ww-3g,d,16gb emmc, intel c... moreWell, CHN-Android is an issue, as that's the Chinese phone and likely has no PlayStore, or any other language than Chinese and English.
A few posts back there's a video link to youtube on how to root the phone and revert it to 1.14 (if you need to), then swap the files inside the packages, to replace Chinese with International version of Android.
But as I see above it seems you've already fixed that :)
That's great to hear, and should you have any other issues, please don't hesitate to ask. There are many people in here willing to help each other as well, generally a much nicer community than some others...

Hey Tomaaz,
I have bought Zenfone 5 (8gb) two days ago with Filpkart.
The Phone is working super fine. But my only concern is Battery life. I have used 3G for 3 hours and the battery drained from 100% to 28%. I am not playing any games or music. Only I am 3G surfing and my battery is draining like anything. I have to give charge three times in a day. I have heard from some of the review that battery is can last for minimum 1 day with heavy uses. But why I am facing this problem is there any problem with particular phone, should I contact flipkart to replace this phone. Please help me as I really liked this phone and want to use it.
Please reply fast as I need return it with 20 days.
Thanks in advance

Just stumbled into this video, how to change SKU from CN/TW into WW.
Basically downgrades through rooting to 1.14, then swaps the files with the WW firmware, and does a full data wipe and factory restore from WW firmware.

Maybe it's of use to any of you that got the wrong version of the phone...

Second one is a bit better:

It is not as scratch-able as Sony XPeria.
