    • Hi, Asus Fonepad 7 should work fine to charge if the hardware does not have problem. Usually if the battery totally empty, it will need about 5 or 10 minutes charge time before you can turn it on. You can try to charge 30 minutes, and try to make it On by pressing power button several second.

      If your Asus still can not on, we can try to do this step: Charge your Asus Fonepad about 1 hour or more, after that try to do Option 2 above step to do hard reset or master format Asus Fonepad 7 with hardware key.

      • Hi, basically at normal conditions we can not revert back our Android operating system to lower version, because some data already upgrade and has been change. When doing official upgrade or update at Asus Fonepad 7, the firmware will do the process without need to remove any important data and some installed applications still can be use without need to reinstall again. Maybe we still can downgrade our Android operating system, but this step usually will remove anything, and install from the beginning.

        This is what should you do when Asus Fonepad become problem or not working properly after upgrade to newer Android version. Some applications that we have installed before might not compatible or need to refresh after doing upgrade the firmware. Please try to remove it and reinstall again from Google Play Store. If you still get the same problem, then maybe you should consider to do hard reset or master format to clean up some wrong setting from previous Android version. After hard reset, you should resetting again from beginning.

    • Hi, first you need to make sure is that any specific applications that make your Asus Fonepad screen become problems. If you already detect that applications, try to do uninstall. If you are not sure about which applications, you can try to do hard reset or master format first to make sure this problem come from hardware or software. If after doing hard reset the problem still happen, then the problem comes from hardware, you need to bring your Asus Fonepad to nearest Asus service center.

  • Hi

    • Hi, the upgrading process at Asus Fonepad 7 will be done automatically as far as your Internet data connection does not have problem. Please check you Internet data connection or you can try using different Wifi to do Upgrade to new firmware. If the problem still happen, maybe you may consider to do hard reset first to clean up all wrong setting and delete blocking applications from beginning, after that try to do upgrade process again. But please remember, doing hard reset will make all important data and installed applications wiped or removed from Asus Fonepad 7, that is why you need to do backup first before performing hard reset.

  • hi,

    • Hi, your Asus Fonepad already have 3G data network, so you need to use GSM simcard with Internet data package to use with your Asus Fonepad. You also can use Wifi connection to surf or connect to Internet. Try to find Wifi ready area, and connect using specific key which given from Wifi provider.
