is this phone as bad with 3g drain as the epic 4g?
It's bad with battery until you freeze all things verizon.
Did not use car charger once this week since purchasing titanium pro.
good day.
This phone is as good with battery as every other android phone i've ever had (its my 5th). For instance, I can watch a 1hr video on my phone with battery power and it will drop 10-15%. Thats not terrible, really.
no 3g bug?
Maybe you could elaborate on what the 3g bug would be from the epic.
good day.
Usage of 3g data would mean battery be dead much quicker than on wifi im talking bout 12 hrs to 4 or 5
sent from my epic 4g with no 4g
As you use the phone, it burns through battery life, but standby time is astounding. I have Juice defender and juice plotter on and have been testing it. It is actually amazing how long it can prolong your life. I unplugged my phone at 6:30 am and it is 1:03, it is at 78% and with my current usage projected to last an additional 24 hours on this one charge. Impressive indeed.
of course but a certain phone with similar power and screen can efficiently use 3g while epic cant
- I tried removing a lot of thumbnails to combat the mediaserver drain
- I removed a clock-app that constantly used around 4% cpu
- I tried removing facebook and google now or whatever their weather/intelligent widget is called
- I tried using greenify on everything i could think of.
Today i woke up to a phone that had a depleted its battery more or less overnight with just 30% screen on time.
I did experience the phone lasting 2½ days without a charge during my holidays and that was with 2 hrs screentime and 35% left. That's the kind of performance I'd wish for. The phone is rooted, and I'm using solo launcher, but hardly any customization that aside.
I took SCREENSHOTS of everything that might be important. Maybe you can tell me whats wrong. Under cpu states it says 1khz and only that. Isn't that a bit odd?

IMO that's not too bad I have a 7200 mah battery and it last me about that longs with around 4 hours of SOT, but it seems like your phone might be clocking too high, and brightness might be too high for the screen to be the main suspect like that, with only 30 mins of SOT
I think it's linked to the 3g/4g. If I disable that my phone will last significantly longer. I spend roughly 2 hours on transport a day. Conversely during my holidays it stayed in and around a summerhouse for 2½ days on one charge with 3g with long screen time and camera use. That's a hypothesis at least. Also I didn't use google music or any other audio player at that time.
I can get 2 hrs of SoT, but then I have to actively spend all the battery in the first half of the day, because after a full day the battery will be more or less drained regardless of SoT
If you don't ever use your printing features then i would delete those apps also because the printing service are usually turned on by default and searching for something to connect too or make sure its turned off in your ROMs settings so its not constantly searching.
90% of the time that unexplained battery drain occurs it is caused by low signal and the phone constantly trying to lock on or find a better signal. You can try to decrease this drain by using wifi in low signal areas but your phone will still drain your battery if the voice signal is low to. My phone lasts all day and then some when I'm in good signal coverage. When I go to my brother in law's house which is out in the middle of no where my phone will drain the battery in a matter of hours.
7% of battery overnight.
Wifi, 3G, google now and side clock on.
Is this normal?
Standby Cell=2% (5h on time)
Android OS =1% (13m cpu)
Standby Device = 1% (4m cpu, 28m active)
I too loose between 5-7% overnight (8 Hours). Although the battery life of Edge+ is pretty good while in use, I have noticed that standby of the device isn't as impressive as earlier Note variants (Yes, I'm comparing with Note series).
WiFi - ON
Auto Sync - ON
2-3 Apps with Notification ON
Samsung Pay on Screen Off - ON

Your CPU seems to be idle 95% of the time! I never checked mine but yes, mine drops that much too! I don't think that's a rare case with this phone!
Ok so it is good right?
Then why it drains so much overnight?
Depinding on my signal strenght ,i saw -10% overnight ,ok maybe i slept like 10 hrs insted of 7-8 but still . Battery info said that the juice went to Cell signal standby or something like that.

yep, same here... so maybe it depends on the strength and quality of cell signal..
will test in the next days...
I am sure it cannot be any samsung app/service as I have disable 200 of them with package disabler pro
also, location/3g/wifi/sync/googlenow always on is the same setup I had on OnePlus One, that was using barely .5% per hour
it also true that on the OnePlusOne I could also turn off the notification light during night, while with this I cannot so it could happen that the light keeps on flashing for 5 hours, draining battery
also, I have edge clock on at night, still some drining...
I thought the deep sleep or idle drain was caused by lollipop, no? I lose over 10% from a 7hr sleep, even if I turn the WiFi off. WiFi eats up a lot of my battery for some reason, and I know my connection was good too.

It's been 5 nights and I confirm it drains 1% per hour.
This is my usage really bad...
8% in 6h
Night clock on
Wi-Fi on
4G on
Sync on
I received 5 emails so notification light has been blinking for almost 5h
Don't understand, cos stats are not that bad...
Think yourself lucky. I'm losing 50% overnight.
Battery life impressive during the day though

I solved my problem: night watch...
With night watch on I lose 1% per hour at night, with night watch off I lose 2% in 6h
I was consistently losing 2%-3% per hour overnight. But once I found an overactive app (Plume) and changed from instant notifications to 30 minute polling, my battery life has drastically improved. I've also used Package Disabler to disable bloatware on my device.
The past couple days my battery has been around 97% - 98% when I wake up in the morning.
I've had this device for about a week. Every day battery stats are similar tothis: couldn't even get to 3h SOT if I let it drain completely.
Is the medium (yellow) network signal the cause of this? Is anyone getting this bad battery life?

You either have a seriously misbehaving app or something is really wrong. Over Saturday and Sunday I tried to kill the battery and couldn't. It was over 9 hours sot. I had to breakdown and charge it with work tomorrow in driving 1:30 each way to see clients.
I've reached seven hours of SoT even with playing games for six hours or so.
Could even go beyond nine hours without playing (to much).
You probably should let OP replace it.
on average I got over 5 to 6 hours SOT with medium to moderate and even with GPS.
I got 5.5 sot today
Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using XDA-Developers Legacy app
I've got 5h SOT today with dual SIM installed and 4G data always on.
Bad Signal could lead to massive drain. How is you cellular signal? Im coming from and S7 and absolutely love the battery. Can't drain it during an normal day of usage while the S7 always needed a little charging in the evening
My signal is terrible (jumps between 2g 3g and 4g all day long) and would normally expect to get 3 to 4 hours SOT. The best I had was 5.5 hours SOT which was through streaming over 4g. I have this problem on all my devices so I guess it must be signal related.
So far today I'm down to 72% with only 30 minutes SOT! (Took it off charge 7 hours ago)
You could try to switch network mode to 3g only or 3g/2g. A bit disappointing regarding speed but would help. Which country do you live and which carrier?
Regarding the quality of the signal, the second attached picture shows it, it's mostly medium strength. I don't know if that's bad enough for this battery drain.
I will try switching the network mode (I'm from Spain with Orange) and factory resetting the phone before I ask for a replacement.
These days I've been trying the LG G6 because I really liked it and the prize dropped to 410€ (O+5 is 500€ here). However, I'm definitely choosing the Oneplus. Despite the price, design, water resistance and sd card slot being big wins for the G6; using the O+ is much nicer, because of the speed and fluidity and the software.
It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the Asus Zenfone 5V before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
It goes OK for now. I guess I will use it for 2 more hours. AI boost off, gps off, wifi and cellular data on, Bluetooth off, auto brightness.
Wifi always on.
forgot to write: I listened music so much from spotify but not stream, I've downloaded them before.

Is the battery life still good? And on that note, how good is the standby drain (asking here because no one seems to have posted on that topic).
I'm worried about battery life because I'm seriously thinking about getting this over the OP6, but there aren't many reviews out there.

After 12 June update, sot has decreased. Now I get about 6~7 hrs BUT my brother (he uses this phone too) still gets 8 hrs. I'm on 20 June update but there's 22 June update (I didn't understand why ASUS gave this update very early. Also it is 410MB but the others were about 200~300 MB so I'm hopeful about this update) So I can't talk about the latest update (I didn't update)
About standby drain: When I was on 1 June update, only 4% gone whole night (11pm~7am) but I can't say anything about the other updates.
I will test sot and standby drain when I update.
Oh btw I want to write today's sot:
Last full (and last) charge: 16hrs 45 mins ago
Sot: 6 hrs 46 mins
5% left
Edit: I didn't see that my battery is 4% on screenshot. I'm sorry
Edit 2: I updated and not changed much. I got 7h25min max (used till 2%). I still couldn't test standby drain but if you want to know something, I can share my latest battery stats. 5h4min sot 15h23min total (so about 10 hrs idle) and 29% left. I guess I will get 2 more hours sot. According to me standby drain is good enough.

Looks decent. Could've been better, but I guess it's because of that IPS screen. Wish the battery could've been a bit bigger than the standard Zenfone 5.
I'm getting around 5:30 hours (on a Zenfone 5, not 5z), how do you manage to get 7:25?
UPDATE:
6:25 of mostly youtube and chrome browsing, bluetooth is always on paired to my smartwatch, as well as wifi and 4G.
(Zenfone 5 SD636). Overall im happy with that, think i can squeeze even more, i have APKpure taking 5% for some unknown reason.

How about your cellular signal, brightness, gps, Bluetooth and firmware?
About cellular signal: Do you get less than 5? Less signal causes phone to use SO MUCH battery and heat.

Actually the other day i was doing 6:25 SOT, which I'm quite happy with. 4G and WIFI are on all the time, and my phone is constantly connected by BT to my Amazfit Bip watch.
location is also always on, and I'm on the latest firmware (.19).
I am deeply impressed by the battery life of this phone. In first recharge I got close to 7h 43 min SOT, later in second recharge it went up to 8'36". Both cycles took considerable usage of roaming, bluetooth on for at least 4-5 hours, some streaming over bluetooth, wifi was used partially maybe not more than a couple of hours, google maps was used and finally the second recharge includes live streaming WC Final Match too. Both SIMs were occupied with primary on VoLTE and always data on.
Brightness was kept on comfortable 30-40% level except for while watching match, when it was close to 55%.

That's very good. I am getting about 7 hrs SOT. I am losing 8-10% overnight with wifi and data off with single SIM on 4G. Any suggestions how to improve standby drain?

Learn how to use mobile manager.
There stop apps from auto starting.
Close apps from recents menu when you go to sleep.
WiFi/data off.
Check WiFi settings where it does not keep looking for signals.
My standby drain over 8 hours is 1%, sometimes barely touching 2...
Am getting 4+ Hrs SOt only...Device idle has more drain in my mobile ..can any1 help to get more SOT...

Check if your area has constantly signal fluctuation. I remember my friend constantly had signals switching between 3G & 4G on his 3T and his battery drain was worse, but only at his home. Otherwise it was good.
If signal strength is good, it might be something else.

Thanks. Last night I kept it in 2G after taking care of above steps and lost 3% in 7 hrs, which is reasonable. However, on 4G still losing around 7-8%. Not sure if AI is consuming battery.

Around 4.5 hour with 30 minutes of pubg and switching between social media apps
Hope it gets improved in pue update
Initially got 3h43m sot with dual sim in 4G. Switched it to 2G/3G mode and sot increased to 5h45. So guess it was the constant fluctuations from 4G to 3G that was causing the low sot. But the last update a few weeks back and my sot has dropped to 5h, no change in my daily usage. Still in 2G/3G mode. Don’t know why the loss in almost an hour of sot
Hoping for good optimizations on pie.
