Battery drains very quickly

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Wait bro, your firmware version is outdated, latest Lollipop firmware is 2.20.40.184, but yours is still running 2.20.40.90, update your firmware first then compare your battery stats from your previous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.

Load up 6.0.1 beta or waiting for the official one.

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.

You mean 1% for the whole night? That's great!

Turns out it was 2 AM when I removed the charger, so it was about 4 hours and a half.

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

The Real Solution Of Short Life Battery (Battery Drain) 100% Working !!!

Redmi Note 2 Is good mobile with low price ??? Everthing from Good to Excellent Except battery bad Why ?????????
After Several Trials For Days I Found The Main Cause
1 - Bad Calibrated Battery Or Bad Battery Sensor
Solution : Leave the Mobile connected to the charger one or two hours after complete charge
2 - Miui rom not optimized
Solution : Update to miui 8 or better use custom rom like aurora rom or any cm based rom
now from 1.5 SOT to more than 5 SOT !!!

Hasn't worked for me... I keep the ROM updated with xiaomi.eu's developer version, and always leave the phone charging during night, still only 2.5 to 3 hours sot.

the same with me. The new Thread in the Miui Forum let me hope, that theey will fix this problem. I buyed too a Redmi Note 3 Battery and will try, to hack it, that I can use it in RN 2

Pay attention while playing with batteries!

to my opinion it depends most of the rom... i use rom builder from http://mi-globe.com/ and its working good:good:

Install govtuner from xda, ir works

If you stick a small quartz crystal to the back of your phone, centered on the battery. it will resonate in harmony with the battery and the available energy will magnified 10 fold.
If you still need more, install at least 3 battery saver apps to get around 10hrs SOT.:laugh::laugh::laugh:

More Details
I use :-
Auroa Rom
Brightness 10-15% most of the time
Disabled all startup programs except whatsup and truecaller (no face , no twitter .....etc)
no gps no bluetooth
if wifi on ... mobile data is off and vice versa
first sim is 2g and shift it to 3g when mobile data is needed
----------------
After all that
zero battery loss during standby (125 Hours Standby)
5 hours SOT (Browsing and whatsup no games)

ScreenShot Of battery !!! Amazing !!!

Is it a joke? This is an English forum. From those squiggles can not read anything.

Does that language date back to the stone age?

battery issues..

I have a j5f model of 2015.. I rooted my phone. I tried a lot of roms and got back to stock one. But the battery is not calibrated properly.. it hangs on some good percentage and drops to nil. Then I have to charge it up to boot. Plz help me fix this issue.

Same as me! But the battery is on 100% then 1 minute it's already gone down to 2% even with bloatware/system apps removed

just buy a new battery, is not that expensive.
and try to not kill it with voLTE and 4G data always on and do not recharge more than 1 or 2 per day!!!

Try to reduce the wakelocks of Google Play Services. Take a look at following links:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-0-0-hour-idle-battery-drain-stock-t2973588
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...hare-myandroidtools-guide-to-disable-t2869119

http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-extreme-battery-life-t3095884
Or try an Open Source replacement for Google Play Services called microG (you find it in my signature). It use about 5-10 MB ram and it doesn't drain battery

I did that but I was hoping to find a kernel for this issue

Confused about battery life

Is battery life is good according to this ?I am liitle bit of confused that if it is the time for replacing battery or not.
I was 20 min on 2g and rest is on 3g without turning off data for a moment. I was playing and browsing and downloading (2 or 3 little things ) most of the time.
I know ..the graph is showing little good (not best) statistics. But when observing the battery consumption from indicator ,I am horrified.Some time 2% reducing within 2 min.
Is screen on time is really a good measurement for battery?

It's good, no need to change, redmi 2 can make a max of 3hrs and 30minutes of continue use

Thanx for the confirmation.

Actually its pretty good. i have an almost new battery, a month and a half of use, only chatting/opening some minor apps with wifi and only 2 cores running and still cant have more than 3~3:30 h of SoT, but you managed 50% for 2 hours with 3g on and gaming.
May i ask you which rom are you using and kernel(if you flashed another kernel)?

Go as per you need.
If u go for all performance tweak then.....battery drain will be little faster.
If u go for all battery tweak then....performance will be much slower.
I only go for wifi sleep and Google play service battery drain fix and no performance tweak.

Horrible battery life even with new battery

Hi !
To make it short , i even downgraded to kitkat , and got my self a new battery , it's a taiwanese battery, couldn't find authentic battery anywhere.
The best sot i could get is like 5-6h ( video playback). Normal usage would get me 2:30h or 3h top
Share your usage please . Im hating this phone

Please delete this. There are numerous threads here about battery life. We don't need more.
The phone is not from yesterday !

d no restart for 1week

My battery life significantly improved when I flashed Lollipop with full data wipe (totally clean fresh install).
There might be certain apps draining your battery.

I'm seeing several issues...
1, Facebook is running.
2. Whatever that Ludo King app is, it is using the majority of your battery.
3. unofficial, non-big brand batteries are always worse.
Try Greenify. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify
(If you're in the Netherlands, https://www.gsmpunt.nl/ still sells official batteries.)

Ludo King seems to be killing your battery big time.
Try Greenify app. It works amazingly well.
How can you say you cannot find the authentic battery ... ?
You can find the original battery from many ebay vendors
Also in amazon

Im at 64% with 1h sot
It would be nice if you share yours guys

I am on 51% with 4 and a Half hours SOT. I am running Resurrection Remix Nougat V5.8.3, i am using my brand new Note 3 Powerbear Battery from Amazon. I use greenify to hibernate applications running in the background including system apps. I also tweaked my LMK and kernel settings with Kernel Auditor.
