Review after using for 7 days :-
1.Display:- just awesome.every icon /picture text appears so crisp,im in love with its display.
2.Lag Free:- This phone does not know what is lagging in smartphones. with its 2gb RAM and intel processor with hyper threading tech it runs butter smooth.
3.camera : its 8mp cam is simply great.different modes are interesting like low,light,time rewind,selfie etc.front cam is also v good.
4.Battery :-some reviews are saying less backup, but i was happy that it runs whole day after using it moderately for calling,net,games.
5.OTG Support:- immediately after swing on i received notification for updating. now my PEN Drive is supported.i was MORE THAN HAPPY for this feature.
6.Value for Money : Remember its not a set which cost you 20k(which its worth for) . its only 10k-8gb model.
Every one after seeing this phone guess it to be 15-20k as its a premium looking device.
My advise to those who are thinking to buy is to not think twice.Not listen to the negative reviews. even S5 has lot of negative comments.
ITS a MUST BUY PRODUCT.

I've never experienced any WiFi dropouts (I do a lot of music and video streaming) nor do I experience any GPS issues (I use Waze on a daily basis).
I'm on stock firmware but I don't think those two are firmware related based on the TS steps most people did on the forums here and everywhere else on the web.
My variant is 1.6ghz 16gb internal + 2gb ram.
If you encounter any issues mentioned above, do not try to waste your time troubleshooting as a lot of people did that already had no luck as it is not a firmware problem but a hardware design flaw.
Go to the Asus Service Center and have your phone replaced.

User1, 28 Aug 2014How to transfer files normally to/from PC by usb cable ? Be... moreIn my case, Windows 7 Professional 64bit, it shows as device, but on clicking on it, it opens 2 drives, one for internal memory, and one for SD card, if it is inserted in the phone.
On Mac I use Android File Transfer. At the top it also shows selection between Internal Memory and SD Card.
The MacOS is 10.8.5.

I won't recommend it. I bought one for my girlfriend. She's using it for 3 months or so and not very satisfied. Pictures taken and videos recorded at daylight are not so good. And it constantly lags whenever you use it for fb, browser or anything else. It also heats up very much when you are using it more than 10 minutes. Positives are that night mode on camera is just perfect and the battery is very good. Screen is also great.

The 16 GB versions sold in Thailand are all 1.6 GHz, but in Taiwan they are 2.0 GHz.
I am not sure what the specs are in your country.
If buying in a shop, check what's written on the sticker at the back of the box, if buying from online store, check specifications or ask the seller.

AnonD-296182, 28 Aug 2014can u please update here on this page when the next firmwar... moreI'll let you know when 1.18 is out and I notice it.
At that time I'll also load it to my server. You then have a choice to download it either from Asus site or from my server.
Anyway, you'd download that with your PC.
Then you would unzip the file that you download.
Take USB cable and plug phone into your PC (if it's a Mac, you'll need Android File Transfer app). The device will show in Computer/My Computer.
Double click on it and you'll see a drive of internal memory (and if you have, another for SD card).
Copy the unzipped file to the root of the internal memory and wait for copy to complete. Eject the device, unplug the cable.
Now you should have notification that new system update is available, asking if you want to install it.
Install. Phone reboots, wait for it to complete, it reboots again, done.
All your settings should be preserved on upgrade.
