Battery life Zenfone 5 A501cg - Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
What is your typical SOT at the end of the day?
Am hardly getting SOT of 1.5 to 2 hours!

Didn't check the on screen time and can't now because I just flashed the phone.
But I can't get through not even half of the day without a powerbank, even if I only message on facebook, this is ridiculous.
Will try to calibrate the battery now, maybe that'll help.

Managed to get this much, if it's correct, cause I've noticed the value jump around.
But if it is correct, I got so much because I used my phone extremely lightly that day.

Got mine!!

Got it!! this thing is INCREDIBLE!!!
Let us know about your thoughts on the battery life
they gave it to me with 3/4 battery life left. i'm going to burn it all the way down and recharge and go from there. it would be nice if we had a battery meter that would tell life time remaining. i.e. 16hours, 18 minutes. (p.s. i started this thread so everyone could join in the "i've got mine" party. not to brag! )
This thing is F'ing unbelievable! I don't think I've ever been more pleased with a phone & I've had almost all of them. I have no complaints. Can't wait to get home & root this beast! Sprint, HTC & Google just told Apple & the rest of the industry to suck their Evo!!!

Look up BatteryTime Lite in the app market. It will give you a counutdown of how long it should last using various activities. The Evo probably isn't in the options yet, but you can choose other and import your battery mAh
but there's no app that just displays time remaining? I.E. OSX laptops have a countdown in the top right that says how much time you have left

Screen on is 2 and a half hours but I've heard people say they use this phone way more than I use mine and they still get like 14 hours

Something on the phone is causing the CPU to never go to sleep and looks like it is staying at a somewhat high speed as well. When I get a wakelock and am stuck at the lowest speed my phone will drain 50-60% over an 8 hour period, so you must be stuck somewhere in the 500-600MHz range.
I've had my screen on for a while cause of texting also not really any browsing or anything else

Try this app to find out what it truly using up you battery. I found this app so helpful that I bought the Pro Version.
Download cpu spy from the play store, and let it run for a charge cycle (it's a free, good quality app and super easy to use). The majority of the time the cpu should be in either 300mhz or deep sleep. Honestly with that kind of battery life, your phone or battery could be defective.

Nexus 10 - Sudden battery (Drops to 0%)

Hi Guys,
I've seen a few people post about this error on reddit where their Nexus 10 is at anywhere from 30-60% battery and it suddenly drops to 0%, everyone reporting the problem seems to of had their tablet for a year and a half...
Why is this happening, what's the fix and is it the battery needing replacing?
Is this covered by warranty if purchased through the Google Play store?
Anyone able to help/advise?
Bad battery. I had to replace my battery and the problem went away. You will have to buy an aftermarket battery and install it.

Hi,
In my case the battery would drop from 20% to 0%, but after letting it fully discharge and then charge fully while turned off it stopped happening. Don't know why, but randomly it starts again, the same procedure always worked for me.
However in some cases it can be indeed a faulty battery and need replacement.

I contacted Google and apparently they'll fix it as the tablet is in good condition and it's still in it's 2 years warranty.

"Phone" app draining battery.

Hello, this problem all started back when I was getting Google play services wakelock and battery drain on 4.4 CM. This led me to updating to 5.1.1 lollipop CyanogenMod which I switched from because I thought it was a problem with the ROM, so now I am on 5.1.1 PAC man ROM and the problem is still persisting. Here are screenshots of my gsam battery stats and the problem only occurs the phone app is used (I receive a call or place a call) and it doesn't happen everytime for example I can sometimes place 5 calls before the app starts to show up in gsam and it makes my phone ridiculously hot. If I turn the phone off for 10 minutes and turn it back on the problem will go away but no matter what it comes back. I'm hoping you guys can help me find a legitimate fix to this problem because my 7500mah battery is dying faster than the stock one when this problem is occurring.

Use a different ROM, no reason to buy a new phone.

That will be my last resort LOL. Reason why I rooted this thing in the first place. Between the TV my dad bought that broke in 3 years and all the problems unrelated to me this phone has had (USB port broke, screen defect that made the phone unusable, and now this) I will never buy Samsung again. Can't wait to get my lg g4

Note: I haven't charged to a 100% yet. Just got the phone and it had 25%~ battery off the box
So what is the problem?
If you check the screenshots uploaded by other people about their battery life, you'll see that mine is WAY lower.

I'll test it out for a day or two. If the battery remains like this, I'll ask for a replacement.
This thread is so foolish. You got a phone with 25% battery, have probably been playing around with it, syncing everything, having the phone settle in, haven't fully charged it, and you're complaining about battery?
Do you also give 1 star reviews in the play store because an app that clearly says needs root, won't work on your non rooted phone? EVERY phone has to settle in. No phone is going to give you 5 hours screen on time with 25% battery from a fresh out of the box setup. Your expectations are way too high lol.
Give it time before you complain man, come on.
Hey, everyone
I am sorry, I haven't bought a new phone in 4 years. I had forgotten about how to bench phones. I wasn't complaining, I just wanted to know if I should be worried.
Just give it a day or two. It'll come around
