i earnestly thank you for your helpful guidence tomazz, I have followed your steps of hard reset and I got my battery backup back. But I did Hard factory reset after installing the battery fix. Please follow tomazz's procedure of hard factory reset. and you will get your battery backup back. there are several videos on youtube about how to do hard factory reset. Go through those videos and follow only tomazz's method. I am writing this review after using the phone for two days.

Regards,
Nik(India)

I also notice the display app is the highest user in my batt apps list... any way to minimize it... also the media even when im not using it. Android should have shut off switch that works... even when I use stop under settings I can still see the app in my list...

                      I have been using this phone for 5 weeks. Overall, im satisfied with the phone.

                      The camera is great except the pinkish pic.
                      the sound is okay, it is quite low sound but doesnt bother me much.
                      the batery is fine, i use it from 8 am till 10pm with normal use.
                      i really like the ZenUI.
                      sometimes has heating problem. Just for awhile. But it doesnt bother its performance.
                      no langging so far. Im using 2gb ram one.
                      no wifi connection problem or any other stated problem.
                      I love the keypad and bumper view.
                      no lagging in playing games.

                      btw, u cant compare this phone with other high price phone. But for a phone with this price range, this is the best phone u can get in market.

                                      Asus Zenfone is a nice phone but needs to be honest about its battery because I used Lenovo with same battery and screen but would last longer than my zenfone :( just sad I don't know what they where thinking, battery is very important

                                        I'm asking you for HELP because I lost hope how to fix my problem with my new Asus Zenfone 5 on my own. I bought phone from China - Spemall.com (good and safe website). Phone is brilliant and very well made all is perfect except one thing - it was no play store installed. All other phones and tablets from them had play store installed this is first time when I had device without it.
