What Kind of Battery Life are You Seeing? - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Long story short, I just won a Zenfone 2 and it will be here in a few days. Checking out all the specs and reviews, I feel pretty sure I am gonna use it over my current phone which is an LG G3. The main reason I am switching is because the battery life on the G3 has been awful. Like 100% at 7am when I get up and down to 30% by lunch. I even have a Pebble watch so I don't even pull my phone out of my pocket most of the time. So I wanted to know what kind of battery life the ZF2 seems to get. I can't imagine it would be any worse, but thought I'd ask before I go through the trouble of swapping everything over.
Thanks in advance,
Karl

Dude, thats awesome! Thanks! Way better than my G3.

With my 550 I generally get about 4 to 6 hours SOT depending on what I am doing with it.

thought this was worth a plug here.
as if my rom didn't have max brightness tweaked already..
if your brightness isn't low enough on those latenight face in your phone sessions..
saves my eyes, and without any official testing, i would have to say that it dramatically increases battery drainage for a heavy user like me.
with that said, i got this thing on at all times ..

Try Screen Filter. Same thing. Free. Should save battery on an OLED screen.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.haxor#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDIxMiwiY29tLmhheG9yIl0.
Both of you should try RootDim. It uses super user rights to take brightness below android defaults.
As a new user I can't link to it.

Pics don't work.
It is probably a rogue app.
Download a free app from market

If your looking for applications to see if apps are taking cpu cycles there is an android info app in the market that can show you all processes and cpu cycles...looking for something that stays near the top and thats probably the issue. Also make sure that you have google now disabled, NFC, and geolocation if you dont check in everywhere. These are built in "very nice" features but they constantly pull your phone out of deep sleep on the move...and god knows we all want 2 hours screen time :highfive:

Is my battery Normal?

Just picked up the E4GT, loving the phone. I flashed CM10 on it, and I'm getting very poor battery life. Because the phone was refurbished, I'm wondering if the battery might be old, or damaged. Attached is the relevant information, all taken at the same time. This is the latest build of Wild for The Night CM10.1.

Pull the battery and spin it on either the face or the back. If it spins like a top replace the battery. Your stats dont look right to me.

Screen a disappointment

When I view light images, like the list of threads in tapatalk, the bottom of the screen has a different tint than the top. This isn't my first amoled device, and I know that whites aren't usually as good as an lcd, but this seems really bad to me. It's much more noticeable in low light when the screen isn't as bright. I don't have a way of taking a picture now, maybe I can take one tomorrow.
Not sure what I want to do, but maybe I'll wait a little while and then do a warranty exchange to get one from a different batch compared to this one.

I have owned almost every high end phone out there and this phones screen still impresses me every single time I turn it on
You can sort of see the difference in color on the bottom of the screen compared to the top.

Switch it out with at&t... this screen is flawless. Anything less is a defect.
I got a new one. It's much better, plus my bluetooth works better

What is the upper right dial on the classic face for?

Does anyone know what the top right dial is supposed to tell and how to read it? I've been trying to figure out how to read it but have no idea. Haha I'm guessing it has something to do with northern and southern hemispheres and day and night in each hemisphere but what are the numbers around the dial?

Looks like the Monthly Moon phases from the two different Hemispheres...
But what do the numbers signify? And why is one of them 29.5?

Looks like they are averaging out 30 days around a month...

Hmm doesn't make sense to me since the numbers haven't changed in a couple days both N and South are pointing to 5 at the moment. Also according the the moon phases it should be a half moon tonight.. But both dials are showing more than half.. Looks like 3/4. I really want to find out how to read this dial.. Lol

I believe it's your battery indicator.
