Please check the image. I. Bet you can say at what point i installed the update. And also you will notice that from that point my battery goes draining like crazy
Anyone also experiencing this too? Any solution?

Ive got New screenshots Please take a look at them. As you can see the drainage is still awefull. I have only used it for checking my screen and battery so just small screen time.
What does your percentages for usage look like? Does anything stand out as a cause? It would be good if I could see your percentages
most likely just the power drop while the phone was flashing the update, after a couple of charges you will be fine.
John.
check the new screenshots
Sorry i only read English and bad English
As i said, you will be fine after a couple of charges.

It could be becasue they still have not addressed the issue of the NvCPLSvc.apk power management thing.
It says so in the change log.
Cheers.
I'm getting similar stats to you..
I only got my One X today and updated it straight away to 1.28, from a full charge i've dropped to 60% after 1 hour 15 mins screen on time! About 1 hour 30 mins since i unplugged it..
Should let it improve over a few charge cycles to see improvement.
Let the phone and the battery settle.
U`ll find improvement after 2 charges.

I hope you are right , about an hours browsing on the 1.28 update on a standard unlocked phone and I am down from full to 20% !!
Here's hoping the battery "beds in " a bit better
Can't understand why they didn't change the Nvidia.apk thing... Is it that hard ?!
I'm according to the fact that after 2-3 charges it will get better (not perfect, but better) good luck
Hi guys im wondering who else have a really really battery life, it drops so quick :S
i have brightness low,and seems its draining fast. i tried stock for a little and seems it drops not so fast but still fast, i compare with my old evo and wow was a beast it can last tooo long before drop 1% and htc one X its giving me so much issues i tried insert one coin, and im now on leedroid (seems better) i have to get juice defender ( i never have to use) using hard my old phone (EVO 3D) drops like 50% in 4 hours of Hard use, 2.5 hours bluetooth headsetplaying music, some browsing, whatsapp, twitter and facebook. sometimnes drop 60% its not so bad, perhaps yesterday in almost the same time and doing a lot less drop from 70% to 0% idk what happening or if this is normal because screen? anyone has this issue?
or maybe we can do a "test" maybe playing a video for 30 min or something wifi on, just to test.
Maybe could be my radio? im using HK htc one X in mexico, the 3G works great perhaps could drain more battery?
Any help i will apreciate thanks a lot, i love the phone but this sucks

How long have you using HOX. I am getting 1 day of battery life after heavy use.
Have you tried battery test, or safe mode?
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
i have +/- 40 hours, average use,
its like my sensation, with 1730mAh battery (well in my sensation with bricked kernel i have +/- 50 hours)
wow make me feel like my battery its faulty (hope no)
well i have been using for 1 day i hope last well the next days LOL my warranty its void due unlocked bootloader xD damn i hope works well i will try charge when the phone its off, i should try make a "battery tester" i mean maybe some benchmarks? like doing some stuff and see how much battery drops, decoding and so on maybe for one hour and compare between phones to see if you have issues or something, no one has done something like that?
Thanks a lot i really like the phone i hope its just something to get fixed soon

Drain the battery completely and then charge for at least 8 or more hours, use the phone as normal and let it drain completely again and then charge for a minimum of 3 hours, after a couple of days it should last longer and if you can or need to upgrade to the latest OTA then do so.

well that is not really helping him is it. no point you telling him you getting that kinda of use of out the battery..it is like rubbing it in his face
but anyway 3g does drain battery specially if the signal is low and it is trying to find the best possible signal for you. only use it when you need it. same goes for wifi. for wifi i would have it to sleep when screen is off.
have a look in the battery stats thread and few people give tips in there on how to extend the battery life mate.

maybe coincidence idk maybe has something to do, any Radio to flash? or firmware? (safe and tested one please xD)

if i was you i would not let it drain completely..let it die down to say 5% i would then fully charge it like overnight. then go here install that apk and once you have fully charged let the battery drain again. once it drains to say 15% check what wakelocks you have. that will help you see where the issue lies and the battery gets drained..better explanation on the thread i gave you the link of mate

if your carrier still shows that you have updates then i would say do that as well mate. radio as far as i know we can not flash just as yet as we need s-off to do that so your best bet is the OTA if you are not on the latest firmware
Wait & see what the battery lasts like after a couple of days of charge & discharge, mine was poor on the first day.
I always try to charge mine up over night & my battery lasts on average 40 - 48 hours now.
The other day i had wi fi on & gps on read some of a book, 3 or 4 calls 5 messages & used a gps app for a while had just over 2 hours of screen on time & after 14 hours still had 60% battery left.
There is no reason why your phone wont get that after a couple of days, hope it is the case for you
Estoy orgulloso que tenemos mexicanos que tienen un One X
Hopefully as updates come, battery life will improve
I´ve been using the HOX for 5 days and it does get better after you run some cycles, but I still find it´s not as good as the battery life on the GS2 I used to have (I was running the Illusion rom).
With the GS2 I would leave the brightness at full blast, I would watch about 1 hour of video, I would use the calendar a lot, I would make a couple of calls and by 19h when I got home my battery would be around 80%. I do the exact same things on the HOX and I get a little less than 70% at the end of the day.

Have you tried running BetterBatteryStats?

It may give you some idea of where the power drain is occurring. I've found it invaluable in the past where I've had battery drain and I couldn't see what was causing it.

Is this possible on phones with clockwork recovery? My phone turns on automatically when it's got some charge
I might receive my new Seidio 3500mah extended battery today for the Galaxy Nexus, and I'm not sure if I need to do certain things before installing it, to those with experience.. do I simply install/power up the phone/start charging? or do I need to keep my phone off and start charging? does it make any difference having the phone On or Off the first time you install an extended battery? I read on Seidio's website that they recommend to keep it charging for at least 3-4 hours after it's 100% charged, would that be the procedure with every charge..?
And do I need to Wipe Battery Stats before installing it? it's things like these that came to my mind, I just wanna make sure I'd do the right thing the first time I have it on.
Thanks everyone. :good:
IMO, I just install the new battery and turn it on and charge it to 100 then use it as normal. The very first time it might go down fast but after a few cycles it should improve.

Is "Wipe Battery Stats" needed? and do you need to charge it 3-4 hours every time it hits 100%?
Thanks.

Not sure if it's necessary but I would leave a new, extended battery on the charger for at least an extra hour after it says "Full". Other than that, don't worry about wiping battery stats, that has become an unnecessary procedure these days. Only very rarely does it seem to help anything and even then it is debatable.

If the phone says it has a full charge you can take it off the charger. Every time you plug the phone into the charger it wipes it own battery stats to make new ones for that new cycle.

No, just the first time. I do it as more of a "superstition"-type thing, not really based in science or fact. :silly: But, I have always had good battery life with new phones/batteries (fingers crossed) so I don't plan on stopping anytime soon. Other than that, you should be fine. My phone has taken well to my extended battery without having to do anything at all.

Thanks a lot man, my battery for some reason didn't arrive yesterday , hope I'd receive it today or so, I'll call them up later today when I get back from work.
Appreciate your responses everyone.
hi. i just got my new phone E980. its the AT&T model. the batter is so ambiguous man... like i got the phone just yesterday, started checking out the phone and the battery was like 23%.
after LITERALLY like 10 mins the battery went to like 12%... i was like WOOOOT.....
i discharged the phone completely and then took out the battery and discharged any remaining power from phone as its recommended.
then i charged the phone to full and started using again like paystore apps downloading.
as i checked the battery from setting the idle was using like 3rd most battery in the list after screen and android OS.
what is this man??? isnt it supposed to be a phablet? is it ok for my phone to be this worst at battery. this is first ever non-Samsung phone and i m used to good battery life where idle does not take freaking 3rd most of the battery... WTF... im kinda disappointed
also can someone tell me and pls like me here any good roms and how to root this phone and also tell me which roms provide good battery life?
i will be so thankful for these links...
smiler what happened to me :\
now i need to wait for new battery to arrive
EDIT:
small tip
its might help the sudden restarting if changing the processor speed to 1ghz max
I've solve the same Issue by using an Ipad Charger because the 3140Mah battery need a 2 Ampere charger.
First day my F240L drain full battery in 3 hours, the 100% charge was fake by charging with Galaxy S3 charger (I got Phone Used without Charger), the phone show 100% charge but the value was fake.
Try a charger with 2 Ampere Output.
This metod is working with ipad charger and Galaxy Tab 3 charger.
I hope that my Hint work for you.
Now my battery works very well. yesterday i disconnect phone at 8.30 am and at the 23.30 the charge was 47%, with mid-heavy use and wifi turned on all the day.
Plus 1!

Sorry that's all I got but you will see in the first screen shot during the 3 days the phone was powered on and off charge, the screen used 35% of the battery. I have had 2 previous phones, TMO GS2 and ATT Note1 and never had the battery last longer than around 24-26 hours on any ROM under similar circumstances. That is with notifications enabled and data and Wifi active but Bluetooth off.
2nd screenshot shows phone was sleeping (offline) 95% of the time so if my calculation is correct, on screen time would calculate out at 4394 minutes * (100-95.4) % = 202 minutes or around 3.3 hours during the 3 days I was using it (little more than 1 hour a day). Assuming the screen was on whenever the phone was online.
You just need to press Screen to see screen time

Hello !
I've a question for those who have the Zenfone 5Z 6GB RAM !
I get it since 3 days, but battery life isn't so good ! The first time i've had 5h02 SOT and yesterday 4H49 ! When i see review ou forum people can reach more than 7h SOT ! I'm surfing normaly, don't abuse of snapchat and use "auto brigtness" .
I just update today the new version "WW_80.11.37.79" i'll see if the battery goes better with this update ..
And sometime battery decrease from 2% in 1 second...
And an other question, today i've charge my phone but i see than the phone is charging fast ! I'm using the orginal charger from Asus.

The charger have Quick Charge ? And there is a way to disable this ? Fast charge kill the battery
Am I that person who gets +7h? :laugh:
Yes, that charger is a fast charger. 18W so it's really fast. You can use QC3.0 chargers with this phone. Btw I've never heard that fast charging kills the battery, where'd you read it? I'm just asking. But using phone while charging kills the battery.
I couldn't find a setting to turn off qc.
About battery drain: did you play games? If yes, battery drain is normal but if not maybe they solve it with updates
Note: One + means you are using qc2.0, two + means that you're using qc3.0

Bro I am facing the exact same issue!! Even I was wondering that if I got a defective battery.
Initially on the first 2 days I wasn't even able to reach 4Hr SoT mark. But after update it seems to have "improved" a bit I'd say but not by a largr extent. Now I manage to get just about 4.5 to 5 Hours of SoT.
I still find it strange that how all the reviewers are able to get 6-7 hours of SoT even with their "heavy" usage for the review purposes and I am struggling to cross 5 hrs with just about moderate usage.
*Note- I use 2 sims and data (volte) is turned on most of the time on one sim, throughout the day. I also keep my location on and keep the brightness at auto settings.
If anyone else is facing the same issue and/or has a solution for this Please let us know!!
Thank you! Appreciate it!!
There is no way you can take 7+ hours SOT from Zenfone 5Z. With my Zenfone 5, i always get 5-5:10 hours SoT, IF i'm not listening to radio or Spotify too much. On a normal day, with data, sync, bt and stuff always enabled, i get 5 hours. One day that i was using it all day for youtube and netflix i almost got 6 hours, but never more than that.
I'm not complaining of course, 5 hours SoT out of a 3300mAh battery is good enough for me, but you'll propably never see 7 hours.
Hi !
I'm always getting max 4h SOT with normal use (FB, browser,..) no photos, music or video.. I'm on the last update. Don't know how others people can reach more than 6h .. Maybe a battery problem or me .. Let see if next update will increase battery life but for me not crazy.. Same as my S7E !

Hi !
I'm always getting max 4h SOT with normal use (FB, browser,..) no photos, music or video.. I'm on the last update. Don't know how others people can reach more than 6h .. Maybe a battery problem or me .. Let see if next update will increase battery life but for me not crazy.. Same as my S7E !

Like I said I was having the same issue. I was getting just about 4 Hrs of Screen-On time with very light usage, to the point that I thought that it was me who got a defective product and got in touch with the e-commerce seller (Flipkart from India) from which I made the purchase about getting it replaced. Following which the Technical support team told me to do the following..... Factory reset the phone. Then when you start up again, DO NOT back up the settings from previous phone, instead do SET UP AS NEW DEVICE. Then when you are done setting it up, you need to update all your pre-installed applications to the latest versions and also make sure that you have the latest system update running. Then you need to restart your device one last time before installing any other applications and continue with your regular usage.
I followed these steps and implemented them day before yesterday and it did actually improve my battery life from hardly 4 Hrs of Screen-On to exactly 7 Hours before my phone died (100-0) with my mixed slightly heavy usage with 4g data/wifi always on along with gaming, music streaming to speakers and a good amount of YouTube too.
Try the above stuff maybe it will solve your problem.
Hope this helps!! Peace
use this setup surely u will get good battery backup, ya the quick charging kill the battery backup but if u use this mode then surely get good backup...

I have my schedule set to 10.30 pm -6 am but the phone still charges to a hundred within its usual time(an hour or so if i plug it in at 11pm). How exactly is it supposed to work?Does it just hold it at 100 then for the rest of the night? Just wanted some clarification if its even doing anything at all

For me night time drain is 4-5%. The duration is ~ 7 hours. Regarding battery backup I can confirm it will increase with time. Small advice is that dont let the battery fall below 40%. And dont charge south of 90%. I follow these steps.. I easily get 6 hours screen time with good 18-25% remaining. I use GPS in high accuracy. I have no complaints regarding battery.
Edit - if you have bought it new, then for the purpose of calibration you can drain it to 0 and charge it till 100 once. For me this worked. On the second day I did this and after that battery backup increased.
Night drain is approx 5% here.
Moreover I am getting 7 hours SOT on it
Btw I am using AI charging.

Just followed these steps after the latest update (though it`s a little bit time-consuming project....... ) and hope it`ll help to increase the overall battery life.
I'm on latest update (5 June 2018 Security patch).
My screen on time is over 8hrs (With constant Wifi connectivity) everyday .

How and what is your formula on getting the 8hrs SOT? Can you please enlighten me on what is the magic behind it? I never really hit 5hrs SOT..

I use phone on Power saving mode (not super saving) You will not find any big difference in performance between normal and Power saving, I also Keep the phone on Auto Brightness . Since i got the phone i never used AI charging just for the info if it makes any difference .
Also I'm confident if i don't play PUBG or any other game daily, Phone can easiy go 9-10hrs even when it stays connected to Wifi all day .
Also I never charge my phone during night cause I've faced battery draining issues with my old android phones by doing that often (or even too many ) times .
