AnonD-299913, 30 Aug 2014Just buy this phone. Just realized normal messaging ( SMS ) not working. Help me anyone. :( Call your telecom and ask for SMSC number. You may well find it on their website or by googling as well.
Open Messaging app, and tap on 3 dots top right of the screen.
Tap on settings.
Locate SMSC settings and enter that phone number.
Test again.

The online manual states the following. Not sure how significantly it affects if not done.
"Your Zenfone comes partially charged but you must charge it fully before using it for the first time"

AnonD-299767, 29 Aug 2014Hi @tomazz,can u tell me about the build quality of the phone..... & thickness of the disp... moreThe phone is built well, but I do not want to compare it with any high-end phones.
It's a budget phone, so there are some compromises.
It is using standard Corning Gorilla Glass 3, which you would find on many other brands of phones.
The phone is not very thin, but it fits nicely in the hand, especially in Nillkin protective case, and the side curve makes it look thinner than it really is.
I personally consider it looking more premium than most of Samsung phones. The back ceramic-like plastic does give HTC One-X kind of a feel, and although it's not unibody, it does not look any worse put together than HTC.
There are a few things you need to know - since cover is removable, the buttons are on the cover, and they must match exactly over contacts on the body, which when assembled wrong, they don't. So you must put the buttons side on first.
The camera is on the body and the back plate has a hole, so even a fraction of mm wrong placement demonstrates badly. This was a bad design decision.
USB cable that comes with some phones is not of very high quality, and some people have problems plugging them in the phone. Since other cables work fine, it seems cable, not phone problem.
That's all I can tell you...

My zenfone 5 keep shutting down everytime i press the power button. This only happen when my battery is 60% and below. Why? Is it bcause of overheating?

This phone screen is so weak that it has cracked due to short fall from half feet high.
Asus service is also worst asking for very very high price
Only for one crack on upper side below camera they are asking Rs 7000 to replace the screen
My phone is one month old and all are working fine
But it has one crack
Now u can think that asus is fooling us by telling gorilla glass 3
And i only want to advice you that.
1. if you had brought this phone please use carefully as it screen in very weak and if its cracks then you have to pay more than its half of the price
2.And if you had not buyed then think about it and then buy
Otherwise this phone is great in this price
