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%.

Close apps from recents menu when you go to sleep.

Check WiFi settings where it does not keep looking for signals.
My standby drain over 8 hours is 1%, sometimes barely touching 2...

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.

I'm quite happy with the battery life on this device, constantly getting over 7h SOT with everything on [emoji108]
Sent from my ASUS_Z01RD using Tapatalk
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.

i should i said "anybody that owns a Nexus One:How is the battery life? "
I got mine with about 30%, took about 3 hours to kill it completely, I didn't put it down the whole time, I was on Gtalk, web, handcent and downloaded about 80 apps, my brightness is set to 50%, had GPS and WiFi off, 3G on. Seems alright so far, I'm charging it now that I let it die completely, so I feel like I'll get real results after that, but if it only takes 10% an hour to use it like I have been it will be more than fine for me in daily use.
I got 8 hours on mine on 3G with 1 hour of gps
Very, very preliminary:
Got mine at 11:00 this morning, charged it (turned off) to 95% by 13:30, have been playing with it for about 20-30 minutes per hour all day (so probably about 3 total hours of "use"). No phone calls, but lots of 3G. It's now 17:15, and the battery is at 56%. Screen is on next-to-lowest brightness, reception is good in my area.
Seems on-par-with or slightly-better-than my Dream.

Blows the G1 out of the water by far. I used navigation (gps) for 4.5 hrs straight on battery and still had enough juice left over to make it through the evening.
I've also made it 48 hrs on a single charge with fairly light usage. Even on days when I hardly put the thing down I don't run out of juice before I go to bed.

Yes sir you are right, I installed over 85 apps and I didn't even lose a quarter of my battery life. On g1 i would be down at least 50%.
+1 to the above 2 posters
Fully charged with Wi Fi on, my phone lasted just over the 12 hours of my shift. So just good enough in my book.
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

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.

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.

But for honor 10 the sot for webbrowsing also states 12h but seems more liie 6-7 indeed. (maybe its cause my battery is not calibrated yet, im still on first charge) , i hope it gets 10h on wifi.

my app (accubattery) seems to display 8 hours of SOT while browsing on wifi atm.
and not sure if its because i have turned on battery saving but past 2 days i get 9-10 hours browsing on wifi.
that seems right for a 3400 battery for it specs.

Got about 7 + hours of SOT ..
What is approximately the SOT when using i) mobile data and ii) two SIM cards?
Sent from my Huawei Mate S using Tapatalk
I'm getting a bit more, but mostly over WiFi, ralely on data (4G), sometimes I charge the phone at night before going to sleep (10:30pm), go to sleep with my phone near to me and check it several times during the night, and it reaches 4pm with 30% of battery, so I feel like in normal situation more than 14 hours of charge and around 8 hours of use.
installed a new app for battery measurement called 3c battery widget.
according to this thing i probably get around 8 hours of sot as well. (wifi browsing brightness set not too high)
I can get max 3-4 hours SOT. 4G active all the time except when I sleep ~8 hours. GPS allowed. No wifi, not playing games at all. Using Facebook, messenger, 9gag and sometimes navigation.
Record is 2.3 hours SOT at 54% battery so with same usage I could get about 5 hours. Usually 1 SOT hour = 25% battery for me.

I am getting 9-10hours SOT consistently on the P30 Pro, mine is the 256GB 8GB RAM version, and I have been thoroughly enjoying the camera and battery life.
8 but i have another 20% battery so i can make it 10.
I am definitively not getting that much.
Right now I have 29% battery left with 4,5 h of SOT and 1,5 hours of calls, couple of pictures taken yesterday. BT was on the whole time connected to my watch GT, Wifi on, 4G on.
I just updated yesterday afternoon to version 124. Maybe it improves over time.
What's the best way to drain less battery? Keep WiFi on or Mobile Data on or both at the same time?
With a normal use (from 5:45 to 17:45) with
auto brightness, 2 wearable connected, 4h of music via BT, GPS always on, 1h of voice call... I made 9h of SOT within 48 hours (with a single charge)
I have a problem. The battery menu can not be more than 6h SOT. I do not know where I'm wrong. can he help?
I have the same problem. I think since the update the battery drain is insanely fast.. No rogue apps, just fb, messenger, and mostly of them are put to manual mode.. What is going on, pls help. Also it can barely go through 24h without charging, mostly 5h on screen time max..
Coming from moto z play battery on p30 pro is a sad joke. 6-7h SOT charged on the morning, empty at the evening, with screen dimmed as much as i can, either by app that lowers auto brightness by 50%, or lowering it manualy. I have read reviews that stated great battery life, so either they were misleading or maybe i should turn it to the service. 124 software, but it wasn't any better before the update.

Sounds like a faulty device. You should be getting 8 hours and over for SOT
Good
11 hours SoT. Auto brightness. Pretty goood. :good:
But was auto brightness at the minimum value, possible only in darkness?
How the hell do you get 11h on screen time with one charge????
Either with screen dimmed so it's visible only in total darkness + wifi internet... or in fact some people have outstanding battery and other got horrible.
I always end my day with 50-60% left and 4-5hrs of sot. Auto brightness and mobile data.

The brightness was average 50%. It has to be mentioned that the battery is hugly affected which apps that are used. As you can see from my post i used reddit and youtube a lot when i got 11 hours SoT.
I have experienced 6-11 hours SoT. So 7 hours is not bad... It all depends on which apps that are used.
I have charged it this morning, now It has past 2h and 45 min since the charging, screen on time 52 min and 88% left. It says only 20h are left before the battery runs out.
