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

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.
Hi all,
I tried all the possible solutions Greenify, Format etc. but my battery still drains more than 3% per hour.
Should I go and change the device from service center? I am wondering they will not take this as a replacement.
Do you disable GPS, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi when not using?
The standby drain will persist depending on the 4G signal strength. If you are in a strong coverage area, it should not be more than 1.5%-2%/hr. Also are you on WQHD or FHD? Disabling AOD and being on FHD helps.
Also seeing strong standby drain after the last update, not sure why?

4G signal may be an issue.. I dont have strong network at home and office. but rest of the things like FHD, disabling AOD all the tweaks I have done.

Download 'Network Cell Info" from playstore and check your signal strength. (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wilysis.cellinfo&hl=en). Also here is a ready reference to evaluate 4G LTE signal parameters: http://blog.industrialnetworking.com/2014/04/making-sense-of-signal-strengthsignal.html
Hope this helps!

This. For some reason, the signal at my house is just horrible. Maybe it has to do with the tall trees surrounding the area? I get much worst standby time compare to when I'm at my vacation home.
Yeah this is only the negative I have right now with this phone. I get impressive 6 to 7 hours SOTs before needing recharge but standby times are bad despite no using AOD and keeping all apps at always sleep in settings but I am not rooted yet.
My rooted S5 LTE-A with RR gets impressive 2 and sometimes up to 3 days standby with 3G/LTE but thats with greenify and adaway.
Anyone here with rooted S8 with greenify get more standby time?

How do you get 6-7 hrs SOT when your standby is bad?. My standby is about 2%/hr and I get 4-5 hrs SOT mixed wifi and 4G LTE.

That scenario would be charging the phone to 100%, LTE/3G at full bars, watching youtube podcast videos @ 480p for total of 4+ hours, reading ebook for an hour and some web browsing for remaining time till 5%.
Problem is when I charge 100% and just leave the phone for about 6 hours no use whatsoever, i get 85 - 80 after checking again. That is with good signal as well.

Yes when using continuous it gives 5-6 hours SOT. But when phone is idle it gives me really less SOT

The SOT needs to be ignored. What matters is standby time. If we dont use the phone for a couple of hours and you see the battery drop considerably then something is wrong with your apps/signal. BBS/GSM helps point out the wakelocks for apps, but a bad signal has limited options. Its high time, Google & OEMs should try and address the standby drain issues. This is one area where iOS excels, due to a closed and nuclear approach towards apps.
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...

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.

Very first 1 day, 6 hours of usage after my initial 100% full charge and I'm down to 10% with 7h 12m screen on time so far. And this during a time where I have setup the phone and played extensively around with every function here and there. So far I find it amazing.
Screen on time has been great so far, especially coming from S9+. I got 2 days of usage with 6.5h SOT and 20% battery left while also off screen downloading around 40GB of Tidal data, so SOT could be even higher. The biggest improvement compared to Sammy seems to be cellular data usage. Every Samsung I had, had crazy battery consumption on either 3G or 4G - stand by and SOT drain was 2-3 times higher compared to Wi-Fi. P30 doesn't seem to care whether on Wi-Fi or data and consumes around the same. Oh, and 20 minutes of Asphalt 9 ate 5% and 20 minutes of Wi-Fi Netflix drained 2%. Both on 50% brightness. So far so good.
Not happy with the battery life so far. Screen on time less than 8hours before I need to charge, brightness <50%, saving mode activated and phone only used for Web browsing and whatsapp. Is that normal?

Amazing battery life on this phone from
7+ hrs of SOT minimum every day without fail. the only phone that finally matched the battery life of my Mate 20 Pro, of which I had two and sold the last remaining one two days ago. fare thee well my loyal friend.
Awesome battery life from this little one.
Android 10 emui 10 is better than the 9.1.
With Google Photos setup to work only when I open the be app, location history and background scanning off everything is better them my last phone OnePlus 6T.
I am amazed whit the stability of Emui, even after update without clearing cache. The visual is far better on Android 10. I am very satisfied coming to Huawei from OnePlus.
anyone move to the P30 from P30 Pro? I am thinking of moving to the P30 from my P30 Pro, but I want to make sure it has the same great battery life.
Just got the phone from a friend. First day use and have found it has amazing battery life. Much much better than the oneplus devices which I previously used. Including the 8 pro.
All settings as standard, both WiFi and data on always. No adjustments to battery settings.
8 hr 30 min SOT 9%
Phone age: Between 1 year-2 years
Usage: Browsing, youtube, messenger, medium gaming
Hello all! Recently purchased a OnePlus 7t pro Mclaren 5g from T-Mobile. Everything seems great but the battery life has been terrible. I've even reset the phone to start from scratch with apps but same results. Today, I tried shutting off the 5G and limiting signal to LTE and that has improved the battery life significantly. I see a few people have reported similar issues. My greatest concern is that with waiting for an update from T-Mobile, since it is carrier released, I may get stuck with this phone and 5G is pointless. Thoughts?

Yes. I noticed the same thing. Very odd for a 4000mah battery! I haven't rooted yet, so I haven't messed with anything yet really. However, greenify made a night and day difference. Now it's better. But of course, with root you can get very good battery life. My old phone, for example, is a pixel 2 XL. And I haven't used it much since I got the OnePlus, but even in standby mostly it's at 74% right now. Hasn't been charged since Sunday night.

Also came from the Pixel 2XL. Didn't root that one bc I never felt like I needed to with constant OTAs. Now I am not sure what's up with this phone... I'll try greenify and see.
battery is really bad on this phone. Coming from iPhone XS and Note 9, this phone seems like dead by end of day.
One thing I can't understand is why battery apps are showing 3300mAh. while specs for phone says 4086mAh.
I tried with two battery apps both showing 3300mAh
Definitely noticed a much bigger drain than the 7 Pro I had

Yeah I see the same thing. I checked with a bunch of apps and all of them report 3300mAh. Except for CPU-Z...which reports 3520mAh. And that's still wrong. Hmmmm...maybe the function these apps use to check needs updating.
Hi all, I'm seeing horrible battery life as well. No social media usage just forums and reddit stuff. I'll try to limit it to 4glte and add greenify to see if that helps.

Root your phone's get custom kernel on there, I'm getting about 3½ hours sot at 50% I'm happy with that ??
Took my phone off the charger at 7am this morning. I turned the 5G off last night so I can test a full day with only 4G. The phone lasted much longer but still not great.

I too am getting horrible battery life and the same 3300mAh being reported by battery apps. I manually set the capacity to 4085 and now the app is saying the battery life capacity is at 91%... on a new phone! lol Really hope it's a bug and that it'll be fixed
I've been seeing the same thing on my end.. Keep in mind that when you have the band selection set to 5g (see screenshot) you will see increased battery drain since it's always searching for that battery draining slow ass 5g signal. If you are on 5g, you will also see increased battery drain (think back to when LTE first launched.) Personally, I keep mine on LTE until they increase the signal and tower upgrades/build outs so my phone isn't floating onto 5g for a mile then back on LTE. And before anyone brings up the fact that Tmos 5G is technically a higher band LTE signal, I'm well aware ?
My concern is not my drainage during the day, it's when I had it off the charger last night with WiFi on and it drained about 10-15% over 6 hours . Granted I had it on the higher frequency of my WiFi. So will that frequency drain it fast? Should I switch to 2.4 when sleeping of it's not charging?

No. It doesn't matter what frequency you're on. My pixel 2 XL would be connected to the 5ghz band, and would probably not even lose 1% over 6 hours in standby.
