I think only negative you heard was battery , all other things are bull shit. Battery, in fact is also not a big problem, it performs well comparing to its powerful hardware and at this budget price. Some are are giving false or exaggerating comments without any logic. You can buy. Choice is always yours.

1. I faced myself with the same problem but updating firmware resolved all these issues.
2. You don't have to find root file. Root folder mean the "initial" directory. As an example, if you have a "D" partition on your Windows, "D root" means "D:/" directory. If you want to copy a "file.txt" to "D root" it will be placed at "D:/file.txt" outside of any folders "D" could contain.
Good luck!

Mau, 02 Sep 2014Hi Tomazz! Is Greenify also applicable for non-rooted phone? Yes, but some functions only work on rooted phones.

Pankaj, 03 Sep 2014Asus zenfone5...can we replace the battery...or How long this phone's battery will last...plz reply?You can replace battery but you would need to take the whole phone apart.
Currently I can't see any seller, but I am sure they would be offered again given the popularity of the phone. Certainly they won't be cheap.
They should last a 2-3 years of average use.

If nothing happens when you plug it in, maybe the driver on computer is not properly loaded, then try another USB port, or remove the unknown device or whatever it is in device manager for this phone, and plug it in again to reinstall driver.
If you're using a Mac, get Android File Manager.

Anonymous, 03 Sep 2014Guys i m planning to buy this phone bt what is rooting ??Imagine your computer at work. You login as a user, and can do some things, but for example you want to load an application, and you get an error message that this has been prevented by the policy of the administrator.
You are user. You are not the administrator.
Rooting basically gives you the top administrator's rights, so you can do whatever you want, install any apps from anywhere, change whatever you want.
Of course the moment you do that, the warranty from the producer is void, as fiddling with the internal memory or CPU under or overclocking, etc. can cause hardware failures as well.
Therefore this is for those who are familiar with Linux (on which Android is based) and want to tweak the system beyond what manufacturer limited users to.
Rooting is done fairly simply, by running an application which does it for you.

Early firmware and apps, some 2 months ago, were not really ready for prime time, but hardware was done so it launched.
That's why there were several updates released after issues were reported by the users, and those have now been fixed.
Anything reported new is being resolved in the next version of firmware.

Manna, 03 Sep 2014Friends, Please reply me..dose Asus Zenfone 5 has " VIDEO CALLING" facilities or not... moreNo. Like most new phones there's no 3G video call functionality.
Only Skype, Line, Viber, etc. over the wifi or cellular data connection. Apart from connection costs (if any, you could use home wifi for example) such calls are free and quality depends on data network speed.
