[Q]Battery Draining 20% in 15minutes

Hey everyone, I've tried posting this in the battery life thread but I've gotten no help in resolving this issue. This morning I unplugged the phone from the charger(I leave it plugged in overnight) and the phone dropped 20 perecent of the battery in under 15 minutes. At this point the only thing i was doing with the phone was checking a text message I had recieved.
I have optimized my phone so that I it only updates email and many other services manually but regardless a 20 percent drop in 15 minutes is not acceptable. I have calibrated my battery using the battery calibration app which hasn't worked. I have rooted my phone and am currently using the stock bell rom. Additionally, I am also using nova launcher on my phone and that is about it. The only strange thing that I've done to my phone is use a blackberry charger to charge my battery but I don't think this is the issue.
At this point I am beyond frustrated with this device need a solution now or I'll have to take it in to get fixed. Does granting root access void my warrenty? Do I need to unroot before I go to bell. I will post images of my phone stats in the next post.
thank you in advance for your help.

Before you send it in or take it somewhere, download" Better Battery Stats" and see if you can target where the drain is coming from. And yes, you will need to return to stock but before you do you will need to run the triangle away app. That will reduce your flash counter to 0. I'm betting you will be able to find out the problem with Better Battery Stats though. Check your PM's. I sent you something helpful that I didn't wanna post on here.

I have better battery stats installed but honestly I can not make any sense of it although I have included some images from it. I haven't seen anything in there that would be a red flag to me.

Where are the images?
*Edit* - Never mind. I see them. Also, what ROM & kernel are you using? Are you using the original charger & cable that came with your phone? I read of a guy having a similar problem & it turned out to be his charger & charging cable.

I don't know what Kernel I'm using but I am using the stock Jellybean rom. I've basically just given myself root access and installed the latest stock firmware. I am using my original charger(plugged into the wall) and last night i left my phone plugged in for over 8 hours so its definitely getting a full charge.
When I was am girlfriends house I used her dads blackberry charger to charge my phone but I don't think that would have wrecked the battery in such a way. I have noticed that the battery seems to draing very rapidly up until about 75% at which point battery consumption returns to normal. I can try charging my phone whilst plugged into my pc if you think that maybe make a difference.

Ok. I gotcha. The charger thing only matters if you use the wrong charger all the time. It doesn't charge it properly. It doesn't do any permanent damage that I know of. I would advise using the Samsung charger whenever possible. Anyways, let your battery drain all the way down to 0 til the phone shuts itself off then charge it all the way back to %100 without taking it off the charger. This should recalibrate your battery. It just got knocked outta wack. It happens sometimes. Let me know if this works. And by the way, you're probably running the stock kernel. You can always get that info by going to settings/about device. Let me know if this helped.

Hi thanks for all the replies. I let my battery drain and then charged it fully and usage seems okay but im at 68% in 5 hours which still seems excessive. Here are the image from better battery stats. I still ended up getting 20 hours out of my last charge but i am concerned with the rapid depletion.

How much screen on time did you have when you were at %68? How bright was your screen? There are a lot of variables to take into consideration. Were you playing games?

I have a friend who had the same problem, he had to get his phone turned in because his motherboard was malfunctioning.
He ended up getting a full phone replacement and hasn't had the problem since.
If you continue to have this issue I'd definitely get it looked at by your providers retail location.
edit: If you root you will want to avoid tripping the flash counter, which from what I've seen lately is very difficult.
Telus flat out told me in the store that they don't even care if it's rommed and have asked me what I like to use for roms etc which is nice, I don't know if Bell is as lenient.
Best of luck.

The previously mentioned %68 after 5 hours is pretty typical of what I get running stock kernel with ParanoidKANGdroid 1.40. That's while I'm at work, so I'm usually connected to WiFi, on silent, with most of my usage during that time being texting, but I do usually play games on my lunch. I have thought that was a bit excessive drain, so yesterday I set up CPU Editor and set my maximum CPU frequency to 702 MHz. I got pretty close to the same drain.
Today so far, I have the stats uploaded, and that seems much better to me so far.

Thanks for posting this thread, I'm having the exact same problem. It's been an interesting go for me.
Some times it does it and other times it doesn't.
I'm using cyanogenmod nightly from 1.3.13 with the latest ktoonez kernel and I've noticed that today, it's sucking battery more than ever. I'll attach a screenshot, but I think there might be something with the charger as mentioned earlier in the thread. When I charge it at night, I'm charging it off an old blackberry micro usb cable with a generic AC to usb plug.
I'm going to let this thing drain out and die and charge it back up to 100% and see if that works for me.

Does kernel make a big difference for battery life? For that matter, what are the main advantages of different kernels?

It definitely helped me. The main advantages that I see with running the kernel that I use is the ability to undervolt & overclock it. This will allow you to run the same frequency that you normally would but at a lower voltage therefore reducing heat & battery consumption. Google it & do some reading & educate yourself on it before you make your decision. I am glad that I decided to do it.

AOKP allows you to change those settings doesn't it? Or only with a custom kernel?

Yes I think AOKP will allow you to change some settings around. It will allow you to set you min/max clock speed & your gov & scheduler. A custom kernel will give you different gov, schedulers, & different min/max speeds. I use Ktoonsez's kernel & it comes packaged with an app called Ktweaker. He advises to use this app to control your kernel settings. I don't think that they will apply properly if you don't. Also you can undervolt with Ktweaker.

What's the top in battery usage? Sounds like you're getting network issues (low/lost signal and such). Should probably make sure your APNs are perfectly matching your carrier's.
Also, what is your usual screen on time?

Try to check your network signals...
Try switching from 4g to 3g or wcdma
Also check wifi signals and that APN which is mentioned earlier,
Then try to hard reset your phone.

How long on screen?
And nothing other than screen is burning it. So it can be 2 things: bad battery or it needs a factory reset.

If it's not system, it's your battery. You could try flashing the stock kdz (it wipes everything, internal memory included so backup)

Hence why I think it's a problem with the battery. But it's possible that it's a system problem that only flashing stock would fix. It's a shot in the dark though.

Not sure what looks weird in there. Battery drain will change depending on what wakelocks you get.

Samsung galaxy S4 mini battery drain!

Hi everybody...I have this phone and I have a problem.When I charge the phone up to 100% battery and then take it from the charger,battery drops to 99 or less without phone usage...And when I go to sleep and then wake up,the phone lost about 10-15 percent...Can somebody plesase help me?

Check what's keeping your phone awake during idle, "wakelock detector" and "better battery stats". Though you need root for these. You've nor given us any details of what your phone is and what ROM?? Try searching for threads on how to calibrate your phone battery.

Ohh sorry...My phone is S4 mini GT-I9195 LTE....I have stock android 4.4.2 kitkat...I have already calibrated battery and bought new battery...But same problem...

Will be an app causing your phone to wake

Not always the case... Depends when and where your phone was made. Could be a faulty kernel or motherboard but it also could be an app or a setting on your phone or an unclean install. Have you always suffered this issue?

I got phone about 3 weeks ago...and the battery was very bad so i bought new one.I also tried CM 12.1 but the phone is heating in unnormal way but the battery there is better...

You have problems with motherboard. Go to service center to replace it on waranty.
Powered by CM12.1

But my phone isnt on waranty...i got it used haha....ahh nvm,i will live with that problem.thanks for help!

Bad luck then. Normal consumption for our device is 0.2 - 0.3 % per hour in stand by.
Powered by CM12.1

How long does yours battery last with some normal usage?

Almost 3 days with moderate usage.

Your best bet seeing as unless you pay for a new motherboard is to try one of the battery drain fix kernels on here. Though I think you may be limited to certain compatible ROMs.

Why are you not staying on cm 12.1? For me it's amazing, i observed at least 100% more battery efficiency than stock (4.2.2). I also observed the same problem with high temp too. But i think we can't have it all. When i play games and the outside temperature is about 35 celsius, i do not expect anything less, because this mobile is not designed for this android version. I think that's reasonable and i finally can use my mobile with a joyful way without having my mind always on the battery stats!

Thanks guys! And i will try CM 12.1 for longer time to see if anything will be better!

ASUS tell us what's going on.

This battery drain issue is really annoying. I have tried absolutely everything to fix it. Except unlocking bootloader and rooting. I shouldn't have to do that to get what the phone is capable of.
I sold my previous phone which was an Alcatel idol 3. Not a bad phone, just a little leggy. The battery in that phone was a 2900mAh, it lasted 2 days easy!!
This ZenFone 2 has better specs and a slightly bigger battery and I can't make it 10 hours, a lot of other users who also bought the phone have the same issues. Android OS battery drain.
I have 5 days before I can return the phone to the store ( I'll get charged a 10% restocking fee, which I should send the bill to ASUS)
Can anyone from ASUS tell me what's going on regarding a fix?? Update??
Would making a video about the issue help. ( I have access to some big name youtubers, phone reviewers) it might not help your sales though.
Thank you,
From a guy who feels himself and many others have wasted there money.

I have a feeling that you have a CN sku with WW rom... Am I correct?

I bought it from a store in Canada, I live in Canada, I know it's a ww Rom, what does the cn stand for

Are you running the latest firmware and are you using Google Fit at all?

Yeah running latest updates I'm not using Google fit

Do you still get a battery drain when you use a different launcher? Ie. Nova launcher?

Do you have SD card inserted? I can't use SD card since before mediascanner finishes (500 songs on SD), all battery is drained or phone crashes and gets stuck in bootloop ... Also the mediascan clogs I/O and phone is so unresponsive that I can't turn screen on once scan starts. Removed SD card and phone works again.

To help improve battery life please ensure to turn off 'Wifi Scanning always available.' To do this go to Apps/Settings/WiFi Settings/Advance Settings(menu in upper right corner)/Scanning always available/ turn Off. Please also see the following information showing 8 ways to extend the ZenFone 2 battery Life. http://www.asus.com/us/support/FAQ/1012981/
Please also see the troubleshooting methods provided in a ZenUI app called ASUS Support/Assistance/Battery/Battery drains fast. If still no improvement with battery then we recommend updating the firmware to the latest version. After firmware is applied we recommend performing a hardware reset including wipe cache partition. For hardware reset/wipe cache partition instructions please see the following: http://www.asus.com/us/support/FAQ/1011956/
Sincerely,

I have the latest software, I'm waiting for the software fix which you guys need to provide.
I've done everything you suggested, already, nothing is working , its clearly a software bug.
What would make things easier, is if you just admitted there is a software bug, so people who have spent there hard earned money on your product would have some hope that a fix is in the works. Be honest and tell us.
My Asus phone is turned off as of today and in the box, I instead am using an Alcatel Idol 3, which is a joy to use, especially 2days battery life, with no Android OS battery drain!!

Not all Zenfone 2 have this issue. The one I am currently using can last for a few days on standby with firmware WW_2.19.40.22.
There was a new firmware released today WW_2.20.40.58

My ZenFone 2 heated up extremely a week ago while sitting on standby on my night stand. It has drained 75% in 7 hours. Since then the battery life is terrible. I am going to perform a radiotherapy and see if that helps. Most of the day I am using my 2 year old M7 which lasts the whole day with moderate to heavy usage. If the reservoirs not improve things I will contact Asus and see the next course of action. My phone is up to date as far as firmware is concerned.

Well, AI brought my phone to work last night and got it back into recovery and wiping status. It took about 45-50 minutes before it shut off. Then I powered it back on which brought it back to wiping. It hung there for a minute and the went to the set up screen. That is the longest I have even seen a phone perform a factory reset. Will go through the setup later. Thanks Frank for your long to how to do this.

It's a shame that you have to flash different software just to be able to get full use of the phone.

New ... I mean the newly made in 2018.
I dont need a new battery urgently, but I would like to buy a new one in a while.
The current battery is good but I would like to buy a new battery over time (I charge up to max cca 85% always, I dont discharge to full discharge etc.).

Well you might be a little bit crazy with the battery thing.
The phone is from Februrary 2016, you might bought it even after that.
The battery life may decreased a little bit over time, but after 2 years not a lot, you might buy one from Ebay:

Well yeah it's from China but should work fine.
If you think you might have big battery drains that could be from the Rom itself, and you may install an custom Kernel like this one to help with that: https://forum.xda-developers.com/k5-plus/development/kernel-t3725978
Or you might change the Rom with one that doesen't drain that much.
