On charge but battery draining?

I have touch HD, stock rom. The past few days I have put my HD on charge, LED light is red to show charging but battery indicator actually shows it has lost power after an hours charge. Any ideas??

Hi Phil,
how is battery usage while using the phone, does it drain quite quickly at all?
Im just thinking that it could be a hardware fault with your battery.
Please try the following:
(1) Charge the battery to 100%.
(2) Disable from running or uninstall any 3rd party applications.
(3) Disable Bluetooth and Wi-Fi,
(4) Enable flight mode
(5) Set backlight to maximum settings.
(6) In the power management settings, uncheck any option that would set the backlight to turn off.
(7) Let phone stay idle for 1 hour and check battery capacity.
(8) If there is a loss of 40% or more, then this means that battery is faulty and needs to be replaced.
Regards.

Location battery drain

Hello,
I have a huge battery drain on my phone because of bad working of location services. I have it "on" with "battery saving but this keep awake the system when the screen is off. If I turn off the location the battery doesn't drain anymore. Why "battery saving" doesn't work properly?

Wouldn't say I've a huge drain on my battery with Location services ('Access to my location' enabled) on battery saving mode, but I have these 2 set to disabled in Settings:
Location services > Menu (≡ at the bottom) > Scan settings > 1. Wi-Fi scanning (disabled), 2. Bluetooth scanning (disabled) - are these enabled/disabled for you?
--------------------------
Also, I often use 'Ultra' battery setting if phone is not in use for more than 10-15 minutes. This saves a lot of battery throughout the day, plus one can still receive & send texts/messages with this enabled.
For quick & easy access to 'Ultra' battery setting, you'll want to edit the drop-down Shortcuts menu to place the 'Ultra battery' shortcut in a better position (please see pic enclosed to view where I've placed it in my drop-down Shortcuts menu).
Exiting this 'Ultra' battery mode is also easily done from the main screen, & it takes only a few seconds to return the phone to full functionality.
To emphasise how good this is, my P8 loses only 1-2% charge overnight with this setting enabled.

My P10 Plus battery life sucks...any clue?

Those with good battery life could you share your settings with me? With SOT 1hours 30minutes my battery reduce 40% which is very bad for me.

- Use battery saving location settings
-Turn off wifi scanning
-close power intensive apps during screen lock
-turn off Wi-fi+ if you don't need it.

Standby drain

When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the Asus Zenfone 5V's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Drains a lot when phone is idle.

yes Zenfone 5 z is drianing almost 15 - 20 percemnty battery in stand by

This is work for me. 8 hours standby take 10% from battery
zenfone-battery-drain.com

If I have an alarm On in the morning, the phone will eat through about 5-6% of battery percentage in about 9 hours. However if there is no alarm the battery drain is somewhat reduced to about 3-4%.
Anyhow, Asus needs to fix the idle battery drain in the Pie update.

Same here. Battery drain when idle.

The battery drain issue for zenfone 5z can be minimized by doing the following:
- Make sure you are not using any Live Wallpapers or any application that can run on background while your phone is idle;
- Turn off Bluetooth, Mobile Data, and/or WiFi since you wont be needing them when your phone is in idle mode;
- Turn off Location Services or atleast set it to Battery Saving Mode if you insist on having it turned on;
- Go to Settings > Sound & Vibration > Vibration intensity, and lower all vibrations or turn them off altogether;
- Go to Battery Settings > Battery optimizations, and check that all your Apps are being optimized;
- Still in Battery Settings, set the phone to Sleep in 1 minute or less when idle;
- In Battery Settings, click PowerMaster > Battery Saving options, enable "Clean up in suspend" and "Auto deny apps from auto-starting";
- Inside PowerMaster, click "Auto Start manager" and disable background apps from auto-starting;
- Go to Settings > Display, Turn off Screen Saver and LED indicator;
- Go to Settings > Security & lock screen, disable Wallpaper animation and Weather animation;
- Go to Settings > Advanced > AI features, and turn off AI ringtone (this makes your phone listen on the background noise of your environment which consumes battery in the background);
- Go to Settings > Advanced , enable Pocket Mode, this helps your device not to accidentally wake up on idle mode;
**You can also use third-party apps like Greenify (dont need root) to help you save battery when you are not using your phone**

Is it possible to switch off screen during charging?

I don't like that, while charging, screen stays with information about battery percent and time to full. Can it go off somehow? On tab s7 plus is not light.
Thanks

I just place it screen down.

Try turn off option "Show charging information"... which is hidden somewhere in "Display" settings...
