    AnonD-324442, 14 Nov 2014You have 1.18.40.10 so you can directly jump to 2.20.40.13.... moreHi Ginzon,
    Thanks for reply.

    So there is no need to incrementally update. We can update to latest version directly

    "Remember do a full os load not OTA"
    This means download the full update from Asus website and then update it ..right

      Tomazz,

      I don't have any complaints other than the battery and heating problems.. perhaps the speaker is a bit low and screen is very light.. even though this mobile is really a gud one.. for me app ops starter didn't made any difference is there any other way to save battery?? I used to keep my mob in optimized saving mode and firmware version is WW 2.20.40.13

        Have had the Asus Zenfone 5 for 4 days now... My voice calls keep dropping out after 3 minutes maximum... I'm only using one sim card...

        Never had this problem before... I could talk for hours with the same number on a different phone, an old ZTE. Is this something to do with the Zenfone5?

              I have been using asus zenfone 5 for last one week. Performance of mobile is fine. But battery backup is very worst and getting heat while using and charging mobile. It is not giving battery backup even for one day also for only phone calls.. it doesn't give backup even 4 hrs if we use internet.

                        Why Zenfone are not showing SAR value by pressing *#07#?
                        Seems like cheap companies are hiding high SAR values.

                          It's about making it tougher so it can be thinner and lighter, allowing the manufacturer to make a thinner phone with stronger contrast on the screen.

                          But far from scratch or shatter proof.

                          I use 9H tempered glass protector over all my phones, the 0.3 mm one.

                          Works well, it's a bit of a fingerprint magnet, but at least provides peace of mind.

                          Cost of it is about 15$.

                                It gets worse if phone is in a silicon case and cannot disperse heat.
