      Good news!!! for Zenfone 5 owner, if you update your firmware to ASUS_T00F_WW_user_2.19.40.18_20141003_8008 you get battery drain issue fixed, and dont forget to update ZenUI from PlayStore for new experience, well done asus.

                                  In that case heat and short (although not really THAT short) battery life would be expected.
