AMIT TAAK, 23 Aug 2014I have buy it today... Some Heating in Battery. Please suggest.The battery gets warm while charging… most do.
If this is not during charging, and the heat is coming from just below camera, that's the Atom CPU that's heating up. It will get warm when doing anything CPU intensive.
Android JellyBean OS does not have any optimisations for the Atom CPU, hence the power management and throttling is done quite badly. This should vastly improve once KitKat update is released.
You can try to use power saver apps or battery saver option in the Power settings of the phone, which clock the CPU down a bit, lowering the heat emitted.

all those with network issue
call on this code
*#*#4636#*#*
here u can set what type of network u want
set WCDMA ONLY if u want to use 3g internet, then ur speed will will never drop to 2g (from H+ to Edge E )
after ur 3g use just set it to
GSM ONLY or WCDMA PREFERRED to get best calling network in India. as 2g calling is better than 3g in India in most places.
n it takes only 3-4 seconds to do these settings , so do not think it is complicated.
enjoy 3g speed on ur zenfone 5

A note to those who upgrade to firmware 1.17.40:
This might not be true for everyone, but in my case at least it automatically ticked "Use only 2G networks"… You need to untick it, and reboot the phone to connect to 3G network.
Just in case anyone suffered lousy speeds and saw E instead of H/H+ next to signal meter.

raaj, 23 Aug 2014my phone not connect my computer If you're using a Mac, use Android File Transfer program. On Windows 7/8 it should show in your computer as a connected device, and in it internal memory (and SD card, if you have any) as separate drives.
If you want to use PC Link, you need to download it for PC as well (from Asus website) and start program on both phone and PC. You will need to enable USB debugging for it to work.
If it does not detect it still, try another cable or another USB port.
Possibly a device started getting installed then something went wrong - maybe you need to uninstall driver on your computer (delete device in Device Manager if Windows) and plug it in again.
Hope this helps.

ash, 23 Aug 2014Hi,
I had purchased Zenphone5 16Gb. but this is worst celphone!
Problems in cell phone:
1... moreI think every smartphone will suck on battery life when compared to Nokia 1110 which seems is what you were using until now.
And most phones take 3-4 hours (or even more, depending on battery capacity and charger current) to charge the battery full. There is apart from Oppo Find7/7A with VOOC charger no other smartphone phone that can charge battery full in around an hour.
We went through, countless times, that the modem in this phone can do same speed connection on 3G as very high end 4G phones can.
So please don't blame your crappy phone network on the phone.
It seems you're not really ready for a smartphone. Your priorities are elsewhere.
Last note: this phone does not support cellular video calls.
