AnonD-299390, 28 Aug 2014DO NOT buy this phone on Amazon. They are selling the shitty Chinese ones. My firmware says it... moreI am not sure if this is limited to Amazon, but I did warn people to make sure they get WW and not CN, CHT or TW models, as those not only have limited languages installed, but may even come with different modems and wifi standards.
Sorry to hear you got tricked into buying CN version of the phone. Officially it will not be possible to upload WW firmware into it, and I am afraid you might have trouble if you get it somehow forced on, as the hardware ID for modem and wifi module could be different, so driver in firmware might not work with it.
If there's an option to get the thing returned, and get another one with WW configuration, go for it.

DO NOT buy this phone on Amazon. They are selling the shitty Chinese ones. My firmware says its 1.94 with date 2019. Of course, this firmware doesn't exist anywhere. Asus support is baffled and they are ignoring me for 2 days now. My privacy settings can't be adjusted so I can't use any app that needs to sync (especially Whatsapp). Buy the official WW from ASUS store. Check if it is a worldwide model first. The pathetic chinese models have Intel stickers on its back side.

Tap on the icon of a man at the top (second one; after one representing keypad).
Scroll to the contact you want to copy from SIM card.
Long-tap on the contact and from a menu that appears choose Copy Contact.
Another menu will appear, in which tap on Device.
That will copy contact from SIM to device.

Open Settings.
Under Wireless & Networks, tap on More…
In it, tap on last entry, Mobile networks.
Locate Network Mode and tap on it.
You will see 2 "tabs" at the top, one for each of your SIM.
To use 2G, tick "Use only 2G networks", to use 3G, clear this setting.

AnonD-298283, 28 Aug 2014does asus is really going to relese kitkat for this zenfone 5,then when?????????????/It is very near.
Some other devices from Asus were just released with KitKat, and have similar configuration so it could be very soon. ZenUI has already been readied for it, so were most of other apps.
