Important information.
- After upgrading to Android 4.4, the services linking your social media and cloud storage accounts to ASUS apps will be removed and replaced by the central ASUS ZenUI Service. Thus, after updating, you’ll be asked to allow access from ASUS ZenUI Service to your social media and cloud storage accounts for integration into ASUS Gallery, ASUS Music, ASUS File Manager, ASUS Contacts, and ASUS Calendar.
- After upgrading, please check your face detection and Album sorting settings in ASUS Gallery (both will be reset to defaults)
-
- Although this update will not delete your data, it is strongly recommended to backup all data before attempting to update.
- Due to its size, it’s suggested to download the firmware update through a Wi-Fi connection.
- Should you have any questions regarding the upgrade, please contact your ASUS Service Center:
