      Komal, 27 Aug 2014Hi, Zenfone 5 Users. I need more confirmations. Is there anyone who is facing this issue... moreMaybe I did not do the same as you, as it works for me.

      Is it possible for you to somehow take video (or series of screenshots) and upload them somewhere, so we can understand exactly what is happening to do identical test?

      I have created 50 phone call records. Call out, call myself from other phones.

      Then started deleting from last one to the first one, one by one - Delete Record (NOT delete all records from this caller).

      They all deleted immediately.

      So just wonder if I have done the right thing, and if not, either describe it or provide a video/series of pics of your test, so we can run the same test.

      Thank you.

                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.

                                        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.
