That is the price of having high capacity processor on a small gadget. The battery suffers for the large amount of power it consume. The heating is also caused by the high capacity processor just as it does with laptops.

    I am using Zenfone 5 16 gb version for more than a month by now. As is already mentioned by most of the users my phone is also experiencing the quick battery drain issue. But as of now a more serious issue had came. Its not charging!!!. I tried factory reset but still the same issue. Till now I wasn't able to get an ASUS service centre.

          AnonD-309040, 18 Sep 2014Hello Guys.. I have bought my ASUS machine two days back. Its really impressive in lot of aspe... morei suggest you to buy a simple cover because the phone uses the proximity sensor with a magnetic flip cover wich drains more battery.for the kitkat..still no precise release date.

                Hello Guys.. I have bought my ASUS machine two days back. Its really impressive in lot of aspects like size, clarity, camera, speed etc..,

                On using it for the last two days I have some queries and i hope you guys will help me come out:
                1) How can i attach a contact into the text message?
                2) My speaker volume is too low. Any suggestions to increase the volume?
                3) Normally every smart phone comes with the mobile test code( like *#06*# for samsung). Same way is there any test codes for ASUS?
                4) My phone is getting hot at times even if i use a very light application like whatsapp. Any solutions to resolve?
                5)Battery is draining so fast. Any softwares which can help me increase my battery duration?
                6) when Will i get the kitkat update formodel?
                7) Any suggestions for Mobile case? It will be better if any of u can attach the links?

                                      I am using this Ausus Zeonfone 5 since last one week and the perfomance is good except the battery draining problem. I have to recharge the battery 2 times daily due to continuous use of 3G. Camara quality is good in outdoors, but indoors, it is average. Overall performance of this phone is good at the price it is being offered in Flipkart.
