AnonD-303138, 07 Oct 2014Any advantage on battery life if I root my zenfone ? Anyone... moreRooting alone won't do anything.

But it will allow you to tweak the CPU and kill off the Google apps, which are draining the battery, by that significantly extending battery time in IDLE.

However if you are a gamer, the high graphic games will either burn the same amount of power, or if you downclock CPU burn less but that would affect the performance of games as well.

    AnonD-313233, 07 Oct 2014Tomaz, should I upgrade to kitkat now?If your JB is working properly, don't.

    If JB isn't fast enough for you, then you can upgrade.

                What is difference between ZenFone 5 (A500CG) and ZenFone 5 (A501CG)'s phone ?

                Asus Official website shows A500CG's specifications but other place and flipcart sell A501CG.

                Please suggest...

                      Hi.

                      I need help because my zenfone battery does not increase though I've charged it for a whole night. it only increased from 6% to 39%. this happen after I upgraded to kitkat 4.4.

                      I thought maybe it will turns back normal after factory data reset. but it stays the same. Can I just downgrade to JB 4.3?

                        5200 and 10400 mAh Mi power bank. how do you think each would last with a middle type user? if ever asus won't able to fix the issue, i think i should go for this option.

                              Can asus or google still improve this battery issue? Overall it is awesome but the downside is the battery. I want to still hope that there would be a fix and they still working for it.

                                  Kitkat update just ruined the phone completely... Superb battery consumption and lots of crashes here and there... Hope Asus fixes this as early as possible...

Copy your own MP3 or AAC files to these folders to make them available in selections for sound settings.
