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.

scha, 03 Sep 2014Hi..everything is working well except for messaging (sms). When i touched the messaging icon, ... moreUpdate firmware and apps.
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.

Guru, 01 Sep 2014you are right,at first when i checked it was rs.10000 and not they put it higher for rs.10500,... moreI have canceled that order that i placed for Rs. 10499 :P and bought QTY. 3 again from WS Retail (FlipKart) yesterday for Rs.9999, Hopefully ill get before saturday.
I am gonna root it and remove all useless crAPP and install Greenify, or perhaps ill wait until KitKat update, I heard its on final stage. Anyway i am super excited and same time worried about batter performance and gorilla glass because i drop my device very often.

agree
i have been repeating this
there is no bloody android smartphone under 10000 price bracket that gives more battery back up than this phone.
2100 mah
i go out with 100 at 9 am
play games
use 3g
n come back home at 8pm n still have
15-20%
which i can use for another 1 , 1n half hours.
what else do u need???
u need a phone or a power bank ???
buy gionee m2 or lenovo p780 with 4000mah n enjoy the cheapest hardware of mediatek n amazing lags. and never expect any bloody updates from the company.
or if u have even more problem
buy samsung s4,s5, xperia z series
n do not talk abt this great n awesum budget phone.
yes , budget phone, which means u can't expect everything.
