When you flash a new firmware, do you flash wid a full battery charge?.....that makes a difference cos the os considers that battery level to be the Max level at that time.... .. i read bout this in lestats dev page....cheers!

but i am confused......anyone??
It may have to do with cpu scaling also.I installed cpu master and saw that the cpu is always on 667mhz and not down-scaling when not in use

Stock , or custom rooted ? Where can i find ?
Or this is just the modem ?
Im newbie in android....sorry
Villain 1.4 good battery life .
Multiple flashing of roms degrades battery life unless you reset battery stats and give the battery time to readjust + 80 %of battery drain is user apps /rogue aps constantly trying to connect /wake phone .
jje
I reset the bat every time that i do a flash when reach 100 %
Thanks
Villain 1.4 includes de modem ?

No idea if it has a German modem sorry .

WOW.....your device is so hard work, but I would like to know you whether open the auto-sync?! you can download the app for Juicedefender or Green Power to control the data/ Wifi, it can save power.
I use Lite'ning V1.5 and use Juicedefender for my Galaxy S II, it can work for 2 days for one charge
stock KF3 works great for me. You shouldn't need a special ROM to get decent battery time.
What is the display on time when the battery is getting close to empty? That tells a lot how you use the phone.
In the past i got a lot of Screen 65 %
Now android ios is taking 45 %....

Ok...3 years of iphone...
Btw what is your best rom regarding power consuption ?
Must admit the battery on this SGS2 is a bit of a pain.
It takes all day to charge from 20% to FULL then about half a day to drain back to about 20%...
my Iphone 4 I have just sold, would charge up to full in a couple of hours and last all day.
I am doing pretty much the same things

Litening rom 1.5

result for me= after 12 hours with medium usage still 60% left

i will help save you some headache, the SGS2 will never get quite as good battery life as the iphone 4 does. you may be able to improve it, but it will never match the IP4 unfortunately. it sucks i know.

can confirm that
now i am on litening rom 2.1 and i got the felling battery life got a lot better.
im also using tegrak. just search in his thread to get some values that fit your phone.
aditionaly i am using juice defender wich is a great app. i have set it to enable (while in sleep) data every 30 min to sync mails and stuff. when you unlock your phone it always enables data automaticly. thats enough for me and battery lasts way longer. just give it a try...
I have the European version of the phone amd seem to suffer from poor batery life. The phone can barely be used 3 hours continously. I didn't fully charge the battery the first time so is this the cause? If yes how do I fix it? Also I have everything like Wi-fi etc off so that's not the cause.

if you're comfortable rooting/flashing custom roms onto your phone I'd suggest trying that. I get twice as much battery life out of my phone with the omega 28 rom
Give betterbatterystats a go..(free to xda members) and you'll be able to determine what programs etc are draining your battery.
Your screen time of 3 hours mind you is not too far off with what you can pull off with this device.. (4 hours tends to be a good number).. also taking into account the fact the device wasn't fully charged.

I`m on stock rom. I get more than 30 hours on one charge, internet, video, email normal use. Going through a whole day is absolutely no problem.
There must be a crappy app you`ve installed that is draining your battery. You will have to find out which one it is.
Are you playing games? They will drain your battery more quickly. Also, see if any apps are running in the background. After that, un-tick the location services in the settings menu. Change to a static wallpaper. Don't set very low sync times and turn your wifi off when you're not using it.
If you're on stock, you should have around 4 hours of screen time on.
I just want to confirm whether not charging the battery first has any effect on the battery life.

Then why does it say in the manual that you must charge the battery the first time?

Bcos there's a good chance the battery may have fully discharged between the time it's packaged and when it gets to the end user, which in some cases may take months or even over a year.

I will put this in 3 situations:
>>> Wifi or 3g and screen on continuously and web browsing = 9h
>>> Intermitent use with internet on all the time but sleeping when screen off = 24h stand by + 6h screen on
>>> Just on stand by with screen off: 1)With internet on 2% drain \ hour 2)With all internet off = 0,5% drain \ hour ...
There is many variance acording to screen brightness and economy mode on and off, but everybody can get a good fast system and average screen bright with the above result !!!
get juice defender..it is awesome!!

Let me guess... your battery is consumed by cell standby or gpsd process?

It depends on what are you comparing it with? Now if you never had a android phone before then your not going to like battery life on them

Hi there guys!
I just bought an used Note 3 N9005, from Orange, running Lollipop LRX21.
The thing is that.. the battery runs way toooo fast! Last night, around 1 AM, I went to bed.. the phone had 100% battery, and when I woke up, around 9 AM.. the battery was already at 92%
The phone had the wifi on... and that's all..
What should I do ? My last phone was an LG G2... and by the night.. from 100% it went no more than 1% until the morning.
LOL! 1% per hour is nothing at all to worry about mate. Maybe some task/ process is going on background or something, install Better Battery Stats and monitor. You can barely control Android, any background might run at any time, you normally can't control that. Or you can use Xposed and then install Power Nap and Amplify to lower the number of those background processes, but how Xposed is on 5.0 TouchWiz ROMs, well I won't recommend that.

Thank you! I Will install that app. But I find it weird.. to "eat" 1% per hour.. because on my old Nexus 5, and LG G2, both with Lollipop.. it was no more than 1% or 2% per night.. And thinking that the Note 3 has a huge 3200mah battery... that drives me crazy!

Hi all
I noticed that the battery runs out quickly.
It holds only 12 hours in normal use.
While I was at 48 hours with my Huawei mate 8
Is there a solution to this problem?
I have attached the phone version if it can help.
Wait bro, your firmware version is outdated, latest Lollipop firmware is 2.20.40.184, but yours is still running 2.20.40.90, update your firmware first then compare your battery stats from your previous firmware version.
How long is your SoT(Screen on Time)? Well, on a daily usage my Zenfone 2 lasts for up to 6hrs SoT(with wifi browsing, some gaming, 2g/3g texting including standby for almost 12hrs as well) so i think your experiencing average for this kind of handset.
Also note that you've posted on a wrong section, this thread should be posted on the "Q&A, Help, Troubleshooting section".
This phone generally has **** battery life for majority of people, there are every few people who see any decent battery life (like above). There are no solutions for good battery life for this phone.

I wouldn't recommend somebody (even less a new XDA user) to flash a beta firmware. Only the user itself should decide if he /she really wants to try beta software.

Comparing this phone's battery to a Huawei battery is like comparing a Prius to a Tesla. I can go 3 days on my Huawei Ascend Mate 2 but it's a 4000mAh battery and a Snapdragon chip compared to a 3000mAh battery and an Intel chip. The ZF2 battery will never get better unfortunately
I was getting some serious battery drainage on stock rom - I upgraded to the CM13 ROM with Android 6.0.1 - Set it on Root and installed Greenify + Xposed Framework - Smart Booster - Battery Doctor - Configured them all and keep my brightness on low when in doors and automatic when outside. My battery seems to be holding much better now. I haven't used that Stock rom Beta release of 6.0.1 yet so I'm not sure if that'll help. Good luck!
P.S - I only installed the mini version of GApps.

Check for the running apps and disable those that are not of use to you.. There are apps that run in the background, just run those that you think you will be using always.

Disable touch gestures, the ones that let's you double tap to wake it up, I disabled mine and during the night, with wifi on, it only used 1% battery.
Also, disabling LED notifications would help.
To replace the double tap to lock screen I use Greenify's widget, need to find a way to let me wake it up by volume buttons too.
Any other battery saving tips would be great.

But still, that's very good. I probably won't get this low because I have crappy reception at home, but I'll check it anyway.
zenfone 2 is best for performance lag free most of the time .....but battery life sucks.... and about that ferrari and prius thing... my friends sony xperia z series especialy z ultra has awesome battery life it is also quad core processor phone ...it is also a beast phone ...but there stamina mode saves a lot of battery ... 8 to 10 hr SOT is normal for z ultra..... so clearly power managment is very poor for zenfone 2. i am using marshmellow cm 13 .. greenify... .. overnight drop is 3 to 4 %... but as soon as i start using it battery starts to drain quickly..... i have searched whole xda forum.. but everybody is talking about wakelocks, thats fine but during actual use also it is consuming a lot of battery....i am tired of searching
