Bluetooth of the phone should be made on only when phone is ringing!!!- I mean if the bluetooth is already on (before the phone strats ringing or made it on once the call is connected- may not make a problem)- So if the Bluetooth to be made on when phone is ringing,we should be using a program like Tasker or AUtoConnectBluetooth as when the the phone is ringing ,we don't have any window accessible as only Accept or Deny is there!!!
Also not sure does it make sense to comment on ZenUI launcher on Playstore cause I always use ADW launcher (for the purpose of widget resizing ,maximum screen coverage etc..).So I doubt it something to do with the radio firmware of the phone than the ZenUI
Again:Appreciate you are taking time to spend effort on it

Thankx for your effort.

So it's easier to go to buy another…
After retest I will let you know.
But yes, I did test during the ringing, not during the call. Bluetooth was on, and connected to a bluetooth iPhone dock bluetooth receiver - but call did not drop, nor did any error message show up.
Might still be an idea to go to PlayStore, locate ZenUI, and drop that in the comments - the team there does respond and might contact you directly for more information.

luke, 04 Sep 2014Tomaz i read in the review that SD card will not work prope... moreThat has to do with the Kitkat limitations.
The applications will only be able to write in their OWN folder, and not touch any folders that were not created by itself.
The SU applications, like those that were part of the firmware, will still be able to read and write to any folder on internal or external memory space.
But applications you install by yourself, will only be able to write to its own folder.
This would mostly affect programs that deal with media like pictures, or music/video players (who might create previews or save statistics or…) and of course any kind of file managers, who would no longer be able to write anything.
Hard to say how you would be affected, as I don't know what software you're using.
But yes, some people considered KitKat changes as "ruining their SD card".
Now note that Google never allowed app developers to access files that were not in their own folder, simply didn't enforce this rule on OS level. Now it does. So it is really up to app developers to stick to the rules.
Of course it is clear that you can't make a usable file manager with such limitations.
Another side-note - if you root your phone and get SU access, you can override these rules and make KitKat work the same way as JellyBean.

Thankx for your effort.
It's not happening "during the call" ,issue is happening when Phone is ringing or while call gets cut while bluetooth was on(not connected).
OKAY use case scenario is ,is to enable the blue tooth only when there is incoming/outgoing call.Usually if your headset is already switched on and Phone bluetooth is switched on the phone,it automatically gets connected to the last connected device.

Want to check one thing with you.From the releases 1.14 to 1.18 I am facing a issue with Bluetooth .
What happens is using Tasker (or you can use Auto connect Bluetooth) ,if you enable bluetooth while Phone is ringing ,I get 1 out of 4 time as "Unfortunately Bluetooth share stopped".
By any chance will you be be able to confirm this?

Upgrading to Kikat from Jellybean is possible but as you know many features of the phone will not function in the latest version so best suggestion is to follow and use the older one.

If you bought it from legal importer to your country, please take it to Asus service centre. Else contact them and let them know your IMEI, so they can give you further instructions on who to contact for service.
Phone comes with local 1 year warranty, in some territories 2 years (mostly EU countries). It does not have international warranty, though.
