                          I bought this phone (ASUS ZENFONE 5 A501CG) a week from now and I would say that the performance is good but one thing is the battery consumption. If I'm going to use a mobile data or even Wifi it last for only 4 hours so I tried to root my phone and decided to underclocked it using "SetCPU for root users" from 1600 mhz to 1333 mhz of maximum with a minimum of 800 mhz CPU frequency. Now! I could say the battery is more better than before and it takes 8-9 hours when I'm using a Wifi or mobile data and also it prevent overheating when browsing internet. hehehe Love it.

                          Just click on the link below and follow the step:

                          For those ZENPhone who have a version of 2.20.40.13 use this toolkit: "root-zenfone5-en" can be found on the link below.

                          Process is the same but the different is that instead of using "root-zenfone5-ww you will use the above toolkit in which can be found on the link below.
