Mau, 25 Aug 2014Hi Tomazz! My girlfriend can't find the way on how to add contact photo. Do have any solution?Open phone dialer, and tap on contacts (an icon of a man).

Locate your contact that you want to assign photo to.

Tap on that person and you should see a picture at the top in circle, and some background image, above the "About" button and the phone numbers and other contacts below.

Tap on that circular picture and you'll get a menu with options to choose a photo from gallery or take a photo with camera.

Choose appropriate.

Apply.

Done.

Zenfone 5 User, 25 Aug 2014I noticed in CPU-Z that the processor is at 800 MHz at idle and immediately jumps to 1.6 GHz o... moreHi,
CPU scaling policy used is interactive ,still I guess any CPU will scale up to the peak with in no time if there is load.Do you have different experience I mean did you notice a slow scaling to upper frequencies ?
Also ,to my understanding ,Z5260 Low frequency Unit's highest frequency is 800Mhz.So going down below 800Mhz may not yield power benifits.

It is a great phone .It is better than Samsung S4 mini and Grand 2.Its camera is superb and it is like a professional camera.Only the thing is it has bad battery backup and it gets heated. Apart from this it is a great phone I ever had and everyone can afford it. If liked please buy this phone.

It seems like updating to kitkat will be a big problem. Kitkat doesn't allow user to write on SD card. Is there anything we can do? Is it more advisable not to upgrade to kitkat?

Hi All,

I bought Asus Zenfone 5 ( 16GB) a month ago. It's a pathetic phone,just within one month its display has gone, giving me headaches.Otherwise also its not a good phone, its touch is too sensitive and even after you disconnect the phone gets readilled.

I STRONGLY RECOMMEND NOT TO GO FOR THIS HOPELESS Phone. Taking my phone tomorrow to the service station and will update you my friends

But I ended up buying the... moreI believe many apps will be rewritten, especially those from larger producers. However there will be some apps, like file managers, that simply will not have a way around unless they are installed as part of the system with system permissions.

Let's see how Asus gets around this problem.

Else the members on this forum will become experts in rooting their phone and installing SD-Fix ;)
