Yesterday I bought a zenfone2 z00a and flashed it with cm13 but the battery life is extremely poor. The phone went from 100% to 0 in two hours(on the 3g network, no bluetooth active and such). Then i flashed resurrection remix, the battery life improved but it's still poor compared to my last phone(Gionee elife s plus).
Anyone else has this kind of problem?

For a phone to loose 3000 mAh in 2 hours it will be very hot. If it is hot, something is likely keeping the processor running, or the network is keeping the phone busy.
First thing to do is a clean flash, and not reinstall a backup.
A Zenfone 2 typically has a screen-on-time of about 4 hours. That means you can use it actively for half a day. Keeping it in your pocket should keep it usable for a day or 2.
If the fone is not notably warm, you may have a faulty battery.
Normally, the fone will switch off with warnings before reaching 0%. If it switches off early, like at 20%, you need to replace the battery. (that may be warranty, but you then need to revert back to stock first)

O, I forgot to mention that battery statistics only work right after a few complete cycles, and are reset every clean flash of a different rom.
Flashing a rom on the zenfone2 uses up to 25% of battery, mainly optimising the apps (compiling the ART-cache) running all kernels on full speed.

Try to install custom kernel, buddy. If u still on that custom rom, use FlareM kernel

Hi guys. Thursday last week I got a Note II, wonderful device. I see people stating that it eats 1% battery in 10-15 minutes, but for me, it eats 1% in 1-3 minutes, when in use. I am running MonxIfied Sent and RedPill 0.10 kernel with stock speed. It consumes very little battery when sleeping, but it is in use that is the problem. I will add some pics of battery usage. What's wrong?

To be honest it seems quite normal. Keep in mind it's a big screen plus if you have mobile data or wifi on then the phone is likely to be doing stuff in the background when the device is awake.
What does the partial wakelocks in better battery stats look like?
EDIT: Eh, never mind, if it consumes very little battery when sleeping it's probably not a wakelock...
There's a pretty steep drop there in the third screenshot, looks strange. Wonder what happened there!

The OP is asking about battery drain when the screen is ON.
Partial wakelocks should be of no concern really, unless his battery was draining fast when screen is off.
EDIT: Haha, just saw you realised

Wifi seems to go off at the point, so possibly phone searching for a mobile data connection?
That's a wild guess though
Yeah these are the problems ive been getting..returning my phone with warranty if they give me a new battery or something..but i get average battery life on screen stand by sucks alot.

From the other thread, your problems do sound a bit different mate
I'm having a little theory. I have also had an iPhone 4, which also had high battery drain. Could the problem be my wifi/router?

Interesting theory. Can't say I know for sure but I guess it's plausable if it has poor signal or drops out often.
Have you tired chaning the channel on it? I do that for my Xbox 360 sometimes if signal is crap.
You could also try flashing a different modem on your Note 2 to see if that improves things. I remember on my old HTC Hero and Desire HD changing the radio (modem) could often improve wifi / mobile data reception and as a result improve battery consumption.
Again, I'm not expert on this so just guessing!
72% with one hour screen on
13% drop when you used recovery
=> after 1 hour screen on 85 percent
=> after 6 hours screen on, 10% battery
=> your phone doesn't have a problem

Haha nice, glad you're happy with it now!
I was going to try Wanam today actually. Been on Omega since v6.0 and fancy a change
I have been running cleanrom ace 4.6.1 for a few days now with no problem. I flashed the latest saber kernal today and now I am noticing in my Gsam battery stats that my phone radio is basically on all the time and using up battery.
I am sorry I can't give you any facts about how much battery since I just noticed it but I don't see any reason why this would be on. I haven't made any adjustments to the cpu speed or voltage or anything in regards to the new kernal.
I have searched the internet and come up empty handed. I don't recall my phone radio being on most of the time before and I have good signal.
Thanks for any help
Hey go down one to clean rom ace 4.5 and flash the kernel and battery life is amazing even with a little over clocking mine lasts 2days and is at 10% on the second day with pretty heavy use so yea give it a try and I have no radio problems

10% at the end of the second day.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
okay, thanks for the reply. I might just do that after screwing around with the new kernel I flashed earlier today. I am trying a few things out.
I have to do some research to figure out what file I need that would be the kernel file. I haven't attempted to look it up yet, but I will.
hi all,
I recently switched from stock rom with root, to pure nexus rom and ElementalX kernel.
the reason i changed the stock rom is because of battery drain while phone is asleep.
the wakelock detector showed that the play store and google services kept it awake.
now the awake percentage is much better, but it seem like the battery runs out faster when i'm using the phone.
the battery can loose 1% an hour asleep, but it seem like every time a touch the phone it looses its power really fast.
does it make any sense?
should i just admit that the 5x battery just isn't enough for me?
i'll be happy to hear you advice,
thanks
I agree phone does drain fast whilst using the phone I can't get a full day of use with this compared to the iPhone 6 I had

Maybe you guys need to look at some of the apps you run? Facebook and messenger are known to cause these issues, there are alternatives but it may be worth a try.
I have no issues with my phones battery and last a day no problems.
I can use my phone all day at like 85% brightness and then not charge it overnight, wake up the next day and still have enough battery. Usage differences aside, the things you should be looking at are the kinds of apps you're using and the way you have your kernel configured. As suggested previously, apps like Facebook and Facebook Messenger are widely known battery killers (Metal is a good alternative). Make sure you have adaptive brightness on, the screen is, by far, the biggest battery drain. Lastly, but more importantly, configuring your kernel and cpu governor would really help. I know you said you're running the ElementalX kernel, which is a fantastic kernel. I'd recommend getting the ElementalX Kernel Manager app from the play store and using that to tweak the kernel to your liking. Specifically disabling Touchboost and trying some of the tweaks in this thread. Touchboost is a battery killer as well and rarely effects the fluidity of the phone. The tweaks / profiles in the post I linked are an easy way to apply different values to the tuneable parts of a CPU governor. These values effect things like what frequency the CPU is at under a particular load, the input boost frequency (the frequency the CPU jumps to when you interact with the screen), and generally how the CPU behaves. In most cases, users have reported a nice bump in battery life AND performance. Some people are reported achieving over 6 hours of Screen On Time on a single charge. If that doesn't get you through the day, then idk what will.
The battery in the N5X isn't huge, but it isn't tiny by any means. It really depends how you use your phone; everyone's different. I highly recommend doing what I said above, it'll make a huge difference in your device, I promise.

Would highly recommend AT LEAST getting a different kernel and following the same recommendations I made above. A different ROM that's optimized with UberTC helps with overall responsiveness and battery life slightly as well.
Hi thanks for the advice much appreciated I don't run apps like Facebook and Twitter not a fan however I will try a custom kernel and see if that makes any difference
Thanks again
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
thanks,
i an using messenger and Facebook, but i blocked their active wakelocks.. it think it does the trick. this is the problem with those apps, right?
when i'm not using the phone the battery consumption is OK, my problem is with the time i'm using the phone, so i think tweaking with the kernel setting may be useful... i'm trying to use free apps only, but i may consider downloading the ElementalX app if it turns out useful.
Regarding the screen - is auto brightness is a battery saver?
thanks for the help

The EXKM app has a number of good CPU governor profiles Built in.
I think it's really worth the couple of bucks.
Also if you're indoors mostly you can probably keep the brightness at 10-20% instead of auto which really helps with battery life.
I bought the elemental app last night and installed the elemental kernel before my phone used to say 8 hrs of battery remaining after installing the kernel it now says 2 days remaining what a difference I've kept auto brightness on disabled touchboost and I'm using the butterfly profile
Thanks for all the advice people
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
bought it too
so,
when you say use butterfly,
you mean you enter to cpu->governor options,
you load the profile for both large and big cluster,
and makes it "apply on boot"
thank you all again

oneplus themselves have pulled the open beta 5 from being downloaded due to battery drain issues - i recommend that you do a factory reset and downgrade back onto open beta 4 or even onto official 5.0.4

That was an inaccurate report:
"A representative for OnePlus said the links were removed because the company was switching from oneplus.net to oneplus.com, as we covered here. The builds were not pulled intentionally, and the they will be restored soon."

I'd need to see way more than that to say for sure, but I will say I find my phone (well, all phones, really) are most affected by radio/wifi signal. If I'm in a bad area, I could see my 5T draining that quickly. If I'm somewhere with good coverage, I'd get like 5-7 hours instead.
try the new beta 6 and with Stock Kernel, i am getting avg of 5-6 hours everyday with stock kernel with maximum usage i can lol. Stock kernel is making me satisfied.
What Pie OS are you using and why? I'm looking for something stable and with decent-good battery, like 5-6h screen-on time. There are lot of roms but I want to hear from users. Thanks for any suggestion!

I'm using Mokee ROM. The performance and accu is very smooth and good, stable and without any issues and lags. But SElinux isn't active.
Actually im using CaF Pixel Experience and i can said this is the best rom. SoT 5h very smooth, 0 freezes or random resets. Mokee have 2 minuses, no SeLinux and battery suck so much i get maximally 3h SoT.

i optimized my settings in battery, trust and deactivated any reciver some apps, i use a dark- or blackmode in ui, apps, board etc. many other configs... i use my mi6 since 2 years so i foundet more and more things to do for better and longer battery- and sot... it's hard to say all things... but what can i say is that other PieROM have probs with active SElinux and no good battery and sot... so Mokee is actually for me the best for me... linage 16 is to unperfect and other have to many not good configs and settings
