Asus Zenfone 5 white or I here. So far have been pleased with it a lot. Battery is so so, but it's a new device. Lots of installing and the battery is "breaking" in still. So time will tell. Second best RM500++ spent!

Also how to update to latest FW? OTA or only manual? Wasn't clear from the conversation here haha.

If Nokia Here's APK can be installed, I would have done it in a heartbeat.

But then... there isn't much properly made free offline maps for Malaysia.

QFT. waze is okay for the traffic, as gmaps, but they don't have lane guidance. Considering how crappy KL highways are with stupid amount of flyover getting the lane right is very important. Nokia Maps have it. Wish Nokia port their Here maps soon.

What's the latest proven method for root zf4?

I found this: http://www.asus-zenfone.com/2014/06/how-to...-zenfone-4.html

but according to the filename it's for 4.2.0, not 4.3.11...
*
On XDA (yes there's a thread for zenfone rooting there), it's using the apk method. Not sure if zf4 okay or not, because it's tested to work for zf5/6

Stock earphone not good.
But i use this.

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
I disagree. Stock earphone very good sound quality for included set. Not done side by side comparison with my collection of earphones and headphones yet, but it's not a bassy mess or anything. On par with apple ori earpods.

If you plugged in headphone actually sounds very good. I plug in even my cheap RM10 headphone and actually quite surprise sounds nice - wonder how is it if used a good headphone set.

Built in speaker quite weak and not so good tho.
*
Can confirm. Plug in good headphones, like >RM500 ones, and it can drive it fully and sound damn good.

The speaker is weak though so when in noisy place beware missing some calls and notification. But the speaker is fairly good even if weak volume, but don't expect miracles la. tongue.gif
----------------

Where to get the zenview case? Anyone that have is there any problem using it? Kind of remember that someone cannot turn on the screen back or something...

IIRC KK even breaks a few functions of the SD card, so not sure why everyone wants it so bad. Not much left behind considering we're on 4.3. Hopefully Asus keeps. their promise and update is to L.

I bought mine for RM35 from Lelong. It's very useful. Bare in mind that it will replace your old casing as it's not the usual casing that you just pop on top of the original casing.

Edit : Idiot-proof way to conserve battery while still using your internet

- Use 2G network :v

I got a knockoff one from DD. Sad that I can't use the zen preview thing because it has plastic window. The original one is just a hole right?
