When i get open these apps the system says every time this messege: "Viber tries read contacts", "Whatsapp tries read contacts" or read locations or read sms. Every time. And when its appears, says deny or allow. PLZ HEPL MEEEEEE!!!!!!!

    Karan, 20 Sep 2014Hello Gys i wanted to knw Any budy mistakly drop this device.is this really not a shatter prof... moreMy zenfone dropped 3 times. I was very careless. First drop 3 feet i think. Then 2nd drop shoulder height. 3rd is when i went out of my car, it slips from my pocket, and got wet by the pouring rain. Good thing is the screen didn't broke, my problem is the metal plating can easily get scratches. If you don't want it to get scratches, buy it a jellycase and screen protector.

            Charge via the charger and not with usb cable.
            Charging from charger is 3 times faster than usb cable

                I have noticed the screen is not scratch proof. Accidentally put a key ring in the same pocket with the phone. Now it has very fine scratches.
