Noname crap cards may not be. Like cameras, or computers' card readers need to get tested for specific cards, so do the phones, and some lousy ones may not be supported.
Another thing is that they need to be formatted in FAT32.

Please make confirm if Intel processor does support all older android apps as well ?
I have some apps which is there since pre ICS version of android & some non-play store apps so I am worried if it won't support or start crashing frequently, that's why there is hesitation in my mind to switch over to Intel processes(zenfone 5)

One of my friends says that his asus zenfone 5 doesn't Read/Write SD Card.
Is it true ?
Should I rethink before having a new smartphone?

Using Samsung Galaxy Note II charger (2.5A) and a belt cable, the phone should charge from 0 to 100% in under 3 hours.
Obviously 0.5A charger would need 5x longer… and if there was anything wrong with cable, it could take forever.
So try to check these 2 first…
And until you find out that cable has no problems, please don't copy any firmware updates into the phone through that cable.

And it said 1.18.40 was available…
If you did that, then unfortunately there's not much we can do until the next firmware comes out.
At that time load complete firmware, not only FOTA update.
But with SIM slots not working either, your issues could be deeper.
Contact the seller or Asus service center.

What I am looking at is how many times I felt that the phone is lagging, and when it registered the wrong taps, like when I just wanted to scroll but it opened the app instead.
I can't remember any of that happening on the Zen.
On others though - happened a lot. So there's absolutely nothing wrong with the touch function on the screen. It's actually one of the most perfected touch systems out there.

Use the volume down button to 0, it will switch from volume to vibrate. Now press down volume again, and it will disable vibrate.

That is normal and does not pose danger to the phone. The CPU is being monitored and the phone would shut down if temperature exceeds design limits.

AnonD-289600, 22 Sep 2014hi tomazz, how did you manage to last you're battery life u... moreI never stated 3 days, I don't know who did.
My phone lasts 1 day of moderate use, and 2 days of light use.
I use no bluetooth, have auto setting on display brightness, battery optimizer (default power save option - middle), and a very good signal - I'm 5-10 m from the transmitter (great for getting cancer).
There are 2 SIMs, 3G SIM is on 2100 MHz, 2G SIM is 1800 MHz. Wifi is channel 1.
Bluetooth is off, so is flip cover setting and glove mode.
Using Wifi when indoors, 3G ouside.
Charging once every 2 days.

kanna, 21 Sep 2014did asus zenfone 5 has the otg cable connectivity option ???Yes, but it might not support everything plugged into the USB slot. Depends on whether that is supported by OS.
But yes, last couple of firmware revisions support OTG. Original firmware did not.

When you start charging, it should show an empty battery for a moment, and it takes maybe 5 min before you can turn it on again.
Hmmm.. when plugged in, is the little LED next to the camera at the front illuminated in orange?
Or is it green?
If green, try to press power and down volume together to turn the phone on, and use a system restore in the menu.
Or you may press and hold power button for 10 seconds to force reboot if it starts but does not load OS properly...
