Meanwhile Tomazz replies,
if you are moving from firmware version 1 to 2 to 3 to 4,then these file less than 50Mb are good enugh for the incrimental changes.
But from the firm ware version 1 ,if you want to directly jum to 3 or 4 ,then you have to download the complete 675Mb package for firmware version 3 or 4 and install it....

RAJ, 27 Aug 2014 zenfone 5 and moto g which is the best fone In my opinion, it's zenfone cause the only one adavantage of moto g is its battery backup. If you need good battery backup, you can buy a good powerbank which price will be nearly 1500rs and charge your phone 4to 5 times, but you can't get 1gb extra and 0.4ghz extra processors in 1500 :D

Hi,
Zenfone 5 Users.
I need more confirmations. Is there anyone who is facing this issue? please check and reply....
If i delete any call log till 7, it gets deleted immediately. But if i select any call log after 7th log it doesn't get deleted/still remains there.
Thank you.

RAJ, 27 Aug 2014 zenfone 5 and moto g which is the best fone
None.
They are both budget phones with good and bad sides.
Both are of better value than anything you'll get from the big names.

AnonD-292829, 27 Aug 2014It is hosted in the website fota.asus.com/....Sorry, I did not realise you got it from there.
I thought you got it from the Asus Support downloads site.
Anyway, I've loaded full files for you, and I tried to install only these files in my tests, I did not use any files from fota.
Please wait for next firmware to be released as a full firmware file, and update to that. It should include all previous fixes.
Thank you.

AnonD-291211, 27 Aug 2014When you update from your phone through fota, you will get only the update files not whole firmware.That I know, but the file usually gets deleted after update, so I guess the gentleman copied it out of the phone before installing it.
Actually, without rooting, without installing anything… wait for 1.18 firmware, due out soon, download it from Asus.com (I'll also put it on my server when I notice it), and install that - the full 700 MB file. And it should get it completely updated, then it won't matter what firmware was installed earlier or what was missing as whole OS is getting reinstalled.

As both my SIMs are 3G (although internet is chosen from SIM 1), and when using them a few hours a day, the battery lasts me 2 days.
That's including sync to 3 email accounts, Line, FB, WhatsApp, and sometimes forgetting to logout from Skype… so it stays on. Power setting is on default. Screen is on default.
I use it for reading news, emails, talk on Line usually, making calls, taking photos and sending them via Line, uploading stuff to FB and reading the updates.
I'd say 3-4 hours a day for battery to last from 7 am on day 1 to 10 pm of the next day with 10-30% remaining.

Rahul, 27 Aug 2014Are you sure...??? i mean u are using this phone....?????because all user say battery back up ... more6-7 hours if you use only 3g continuous use. Other wise it's lot better. Use 2g only data for getting notification for mail, facebook,whatsapp, etc and change to 3G when you really need a faster connection if you are on mobile data. This way your battery will last more than a day(24 hours). If you are a heavy user then keep a power bank with you which is same for all smartphones. For me battery back up is fine.
People, don't ask about battery again, It's a history now.
