Battery problem

Hi all,
I'm on ddjp6 rooted.
Battery stand by is good.
But during using internet, fully charged battery expires in just 20 minutes or less...
The phone immediatly shuts down after showing low battery warning. (in 5 seconds)
Is this a rom problem?
Because I think on official eclair , the battery was good.
Can a custom rom solve this?
Please suggest me...
Thanks in advance...
With best regards...
:banghead:

By internet you mean wifi or 3G? I have the same problem, just with mobile data, though. Don't know how to fix it... Anybody has a solution?

How old is your battery ?
This may be indication of battery is about to get worse and die
During stand-by battery doesn't needs much power so it sustains standby.
A new battery should be around 500/599INR. at samsung service center.

My battery is 20 months old, but still lasts for 3-4 days easily.
I'm using Custom OC ROM.
Drain battery to "0" and charge it continuously for 3-4 hours, keeping phone switched off. Do this once a month. This fixes problem.
If u've rooted then do battery calibration...

Hello,
My battery expires in one day with 3G only activate... If you want to use 3G all the time like me,'re trying to install a firewall (avast mobile for example) to choose only the apps that need to communicate on the internet... Thank you for keeping me informed...

[Q] 4.1.2 battery drain

Hi!
So I have updated my unrooted Note 2 to version 4.1.2 and below describes what happened:
1. Battery drain very fast, can't even last 24 hours. The battery details show "Android System" chugging all my battery juices.
2. On 2nd day, I tried "Factory reset" on Settings menu but still my battery drains very fast by "Android System".
3. On 4th day, I installed Kies on my PC and did the "Firmware Upgrade and Initialization". Noticed an improvement in battery life but after 4 hours, I noticed "Android OS" is now taking his turn to chug all my battery juices.
4. On 5th day, woke up and noticed battery drained >20% by "Android OS".
5. 6th day (today), I did another "Firmware Upgrade and Initialization" on Kies and now I noticed "Android System" took over and took over >29% battery usage in under 1 hour.
6. Now, I am running "Firmware Upgrade and Initilization" for the 3rd time and is hoping for the best.
Question:
Should I root my device and downgrade to 4.1.1? Before update to 4.1.2, it can last almost 2 days.
Thanks for your help!!

I had a similar problem and discovered that "gpsd" on my phone was causing the drain. This system also required other systems whiqh together used about 45% of the battery. The "gpsd" is the system samsung uses to track your phone (if you have enabed it). It did not cause this drain on my phone prior to the update.
I hope this helps.

Thanks...

Hey thanks for your input. Would you be able to explain in more details on how to disable this "gpsd" thing you mentioned?
I would like to try it out myself

I disabled all samsung apps, and several others including google now and location services.
Still a massive battery drain.
Very annoying..

it is said 4.12 drain faster than 4.1.1

I hope Samsung fix this issue, and quick! I don't like my phone losing a minimum of 20% overnight.

I have no battery drain issues (yet) on the 4.1.2 could be just the vocal minority experiencing it or idk.

On average I also don't observe a significant overall battery drain. Am currently projecting about 7-8 hours of screen time which is about the same as with before. Also having the same very low overnight drain.
However a few oddities:
Android system is higher on the battery charts than in 4.1.1.
I was playing nfs_mw before and after the update, and there is a significant increase in battery drain in 4.1.2. A full battery used to give over 4 hours of gametime, now gives just over 1 hour.
I've also not seem anyone else mentioning this and I'm not sure if this is related to battery but:
4.1.2 is absolutely perfect butter smooth
Every animation and transition had been completely fluid and going from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 was like upgrading from 50% to 100% project butter.

why is that?

I have downgraded but version 4.1.1 doesn't give me the option to switch to 2G only data mode!! Only 2G/3G/4G or 3G only!
This is essential as where I live my 3G keeps cutting out, and I get frequent loss of service. Is there any way to get this option back???

Roughly about 1% per 7-8hours depending on the current battery level, are you losing more ?

I downgraded to 4.1.1 by downloading the appropriate firmware from sammobile.com and flashing as pda with odin. I then flashed the perseus kernel which has the sudden death bug fix built in. Perseus is not prerooted but it doesn't have to be, at least it protects the phone from sudden death as I had the faulty chip in mine. I got 40 hours standby and 4 hours screen on out of it now, all accounts syncing with Google now and Samsung tracking service. happy to have switched back to 4.1.1, all I miss is the snappier s note from 4.1.2.

Hello guys I have this problem also In my note 2 after updating to 4.1.2 my battery drain like 10% for 20 min in idle
Factory reset dosen't solve the problem
I just wipe data and cache from recovery mode beleive me now its better than before I am using it for 1 day 14 hours I still have 49% on heavy usage with H+ connection

Hope it get fixed soon...
Last night I disabled "Google Location Services". It is under Settings > Accounts > Google > Location Settings
This is what I noticed.
Before I sleep, after I finished charging at 16min my Android Services spiked up almost 50%...
When I woke up, this is what I saw... 9% total drain and Android Services went up to 54%...
Not too bad comparing to a few days ago when I first updated.
So is there anything I can do without needing to root my phone?
Thanks!

I have the same problem like You

Can confirm this issue. Used to get 5-6 hours screen on time on 4.1.1 on a normal day (moderate to heavy usage).
Now I can't even reach 3 hours on 4.1.2. I already did a hard reset. No change.
Can installing a custom ROM solve this?

LG G4 marshmallow poor battery life and performance ?!?!

I am on MM almost three days and i noticed huge battery drains. Tried hard reset and calibrating the battery, but no luck. Im stuck on 2.5h SOT and it makes me angry. On lollipop i was getting almost 4.5-5h SOT on 3g and data always on. I noticed some lags and downgrade in performance. Shame on you LG, please fix this.. G4 is best phone and we need best software for it.

yep, same battery results for me. i went back to LL

went back to LP too till they get MM rooted

I'm not having this problem with my mm
did you do a full wipe cache ?

I meant a full factory reset after upgrading from LP ?

I have same SoT time like LP.
Can't understand what's wrong with others.
2.5hr that's insane....

Me too ... My battery sucks...i niticed that the drain is more visible in mobile data. I don't know if gsam battery make a correct read in mm but it siad that"system logd" eats battery. In WiFi is side by side with android system but on mobile data is double. A bad joke this update. I wait root appears for lg mm and get rid of this . also chrome and Google now use more battery like before. Where is doze...after night usually I lose 5-6% now 12-13%. It's always like this ... I make the same mistake upgrading to lollipop from KitKat with HTC m8 and go worst. Now the same. Goodbye updates from me. I stay with the original software. I love android but here always sucks ... In the meantime for example my battery lost 3% when I wrote that ?

Yep, I factory reset and reinstalled everything, still poor battery

3 h SOT here too but with greenify (donation version) I reach 4 h.
By the way it's ridiculous..

By the way after I make the factory reset I run gsam monitor with no app inside... The same system logd system dbox or something are in line with the screen. So it's not a misbehaving app it's only a bad implementation of mm made by lg. They want to be the first but they become the worst.

are you using V20b or V20a ??

let me tell you something dude
If you want to get a less battery eater screen you have two solutions :
- Go back to fHD screens like Sony Xperia phones
- Go to amoled panel like note 5 with all of it famous weaknesses (SOT = 5.5 - 6 max )
For me a powerbank is the best solution to enjoy this beautiful screen of G4

Hy dude... I was talking about some background process that apear after mm update. even with this doze mode my phone running out of juice faster in stand by. I don't get your opinion ... You think that with lollipop I have a different screen? Before the update I get easily 4 h sot with some coc playing.

I guess we must wait for MM to get some software updates and optimization .. For now the best is to roll back to LP like i did and wait

you guys are doing something very wrong, my H815 battery life is insane, with heavy use, I cannot run down the battery in a 16 hour day! - I go to bed and the phone is still on over 40% - running stock newest marshmallow 20B with a few tweaks

How you do this ? My battery lasts only 2h screen on time

And how do you get v20B ? I am on v20A and it shows me that i dont have update

Why does this phone use so much battery while idle?

The question is very tongue-in-cheek. I really love this phone, but the battery life is nothing like a Moto E that my kids use as a WiFi house phone.
The Moto E will sit mostly idle for an entire week, WiFi on the whole time, an hour and a half-ish of SOT, and battery will be 15%. After 7 days.
My ZF2 can only sit idle/wifi for about 2 days even though its battery is ~1000mah larger. My old LG G2 could do 5 or 6 days.
I've experimented with stock and Cm13 with similar results. I'm not looking for 8 hours SOT, I want to take my phone camping and know I can get calls or make calls when necessary. (Odds are, I'll hijack my kids' phone for the trip - but I shouldn't have to do that!)
I guess I'm wondering if this kind of idle drain is common with ZF2? Is it the Intel SOC? Is it screen/touch drivers? Something just seems real strange...

I wonder the same. My Zf2 uses more juice idling on wifi overnight than my iphone 5 uses idling for a week.

somesay because the processor, Intel SoC(bad).
somesay because asus poorly customise the phone.
somesay because it had poor screen.
the answer is really uknown....

It's because of cache memory getting filled up after a longtime use or frequent rom update. always wipe cache atleast once in a month or after every flash.
Steps: (if u are still in zenfone stock firmware with OTA updates)
1. Turn off you Zenfone 2
2. Press and hold Power button + Volume Up together for few seconds.
3. When the phone is vibrating, release the Power button. You will see Normal boot and Recovery boot options to select.
4. You can select Normal boot or Recovery boot by pressing Volume up/down button. To enter Recovery mode choose Recovery boot.
5. You will see sleeping android robot. Press Power button + Volume Up and release the buttons. You are now in Recovery mode.
6. If the 5th option does not work for you, press and hold Power button, then (while holding power button) quickly press Volume Up and release and then release power button.
Use vol up/down to navigate to wipe cache and select using power button. Wait for 8 - 10 minutes until it is complete.
7. Now, to exist from recovery mode, just select reboot option or press and hold the power button for a few seconds to force it to reboot.
This really works and gives you the Battery life as it was on its new phone.
Hit THANKS if this has helped you.

Seems like pretty much every android phone and tablet ive used.
The longer you own it the worse the standby drain gets...and then the manufacturer gets blamed, software "bloat" gets blamed, everything gets blamed except the one thing that should be blamed...google's services running in the background chewing up battery but giving under "play services". All the nexus devices i've owned have been no different.

Thanks for that hint. I'm new to ZF2 doesn't know till now how to clear cache from recovery caused by the update fail in recovery.
It maybe better to root stock rom just for amplified and grenify with xposed, kept alot more power on my other devices.

I think the problem lies in android lollipop and x86 architecture ..... Arm architecture is still the best (maybe, kyro will be better)
Once we get marshmallow the idle battery drain shall be gone , so shall be the notifications too!!!
Its just that you cannot get moto e like battery but still there are one plus users with custom kernels getting 6+ hour sot and 3 day idle longevity
So there shall be hope for someone to make a new kernel especially for x86
Btw, use echoerom just google "echoe rom zenfone 2" thats a asus stock based rom so you wont miss zen ui too, and has got good performance and battery for some reasons.

Don't know what you're doing wrong but my son's has been on standby for almost 5 days with 25% remaining.

I would blame 5.0, I haven't tested custom roms like CM, but let's hope it goes away in 6.0. My battery standby looses about 10-15% in 8 hours on standby. I use Superzen and I'm on. 139

I don´t know what I´m doing wrong ... the battery life on my zf if good to excelent.

If most phones could be tested out for one month of before buying, most of them wouldn't be bought. this ZF2 has many issues that they still haven't fixed with OTA's. I'll never own another one, I'll go back to Samsung on my next one.

To be honest, I would consider it a big failure if you spend 15% for 8 hours of stand by, especially you're rooted, which means you should have be capable of doing much more than I do...

There is something fishy about this phone. Not all zenfones have good battery life. Some ZF2 has very good battery life, some ZF2 has battery drain like hell. Since the os and the firmware is same, I have doubt that every zenfone 2 has same quality battery (or does every phone has 3000mAh battery actually?)

Horrible Battery Life on Nougat

So Just to announce where I am coming from, I am a Sony fan for the past 4 years, Had the Z2 and was totally blown away by the battery life it offered. Then I got the Z5P and even though the battery performance was nowhere near the Z2 I still got through an entire day with it without issues so I was happy.
Then came the Nougat update and all hell broke loose. I am literally getting just 6 hrs of battery life since the update. And even when it is idle it still drains battery like atleast 2 percent every hour.
Also the charging is very slow. I have a quick charger that used to take the battery life from 0 to 20 in atleast 10 - 15 mins. But now it actually drains the battery if I am using the phone while charging. And yes I have switched off the battery optimization option.
Any help will be appreciated even if it is just a confirmation that I am not the only one having this issue, which will at least let me know that it is not just my phone.

There must be some process with corrupted data after de update which is constantly executing something. I recommend you to do a full wipe, factory reset

Oh did not know this could happen. Will definitely try doing a full wipe and see how things go! Thanks a lot!

I never fully trust OTA updates, because it keeps all the applications data and some special case of your current configuration maybe is not "converted" to the new version and causes the programs to behave weird. Have you looked at the battery usage? Maybe you find the process which a huge % of battery eaten, and just wiping that app data is enough

Thanks for the reply! Yeah I looked at the battery usage stats and no specific app is draining more than 2 percent of the battery over a charge. The only things that have taken most out of the battery are 1. The Screen On Time which is to expected and 2. The Idle Phone which takes around 15% consistently in every charge.

after updating to .372 , i learned from internet that this build has battery draining issues. ( i never faced any )
after updating to .376. , the phone is as steady stable as my other xperias (btw z5p is my 6th xperia )
now there is however a catch.
1. if you updated on OTA , this means the update of 1.2gb via ota only replaced certain files from .305 to make it .372 build (android 6 to 7) --- such OTA updates USUALLY ends up having problems (in general) with battery draining issues. Such problems i personally faced during updating from honeycomb to ics. - in short whenever update is available; always install FRESH
2. if your bootloader is locked then use xperia companion to install fresh after wiping all data. (makebackups)
3. if your phone is not rooted then try disabling all un necessary apps under Apps section.
----
Trivia
You cannot compare Z5p with predecessors like Z3/Z2/Z1 and Z since
1. they were always smaller in screen size / resolution and were not 4k
2. They stops at Android 5 / 6 as their last builds and battery life was awesome w.r.t consumption

after updating to .372 , i learned from internet that this build has battery draining issues. ( i never faced any )
after updating to .376. , the phone is as steady stable as my other xperias (btw z5p is my 6th xperia )
now there is however a catch.
1. if you updated on OTA , this means the update of 1.2gb via ota only replaced certain files from .305 to make it .372 build (android 6 to 7) --- such OTA updates USUALLY ends up having problems (in general) with battery draining issues. Such problems i personally faced during updating from honeycomb to ics. - in short whenever update is available; always install FRESH
2. if your bootloader is locked then use xperia companion to install fresh after wiping all data. (makebackups)
3. if your phone is not rooted then try disabling all un necessary apps under Apps section.

Trivia
You cannot compare Z5p with predecessors like Z3/Z2/Z1 and Z since
1. they were always smaller in screen size / resolution and were not 4k
2. They stops at Android 5 / 6 as their last builds and battery life was awesome w.r.t consumption

however some of friends on XDA agrees that .305 (android 6.0.1) (came out dec2016) is the BEST build ever for z5p. addressed all battery issues and it was the final build for z5p on android 6.0.1
even i am thinking to degrade my phone due to ram consumption of N is very high!
this is why xzp has 4gb ram!

I need to know. If I updated my phone to .376 and it's having this lack of battery life, DO I HAVE TO SELL IT OR DISPOSE OF IT BECAUSE IT'S LITERALLY A LOST CAUSE NOW? (P.S. I immediately did a factory reset after the Nougat install completed.)
Because apparently if you updated to this build, then returned to the last Marshmallow build, THE PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED, and reloading nougat will only make things worse. And if you updated to .378, it not only does this not get fixed, it breaks your headphone jack to boot.
Please help. I am freaking out about this battery life. I lost 60 PERCENT IN 6 HOURS OF BASICALLY PODCASTS. ?

Well, after all my trials I flashed MM back and everything is back to normal. The issue is with 7 so not sure what happened to your handset
EDIT: Re-upgraded once again= battery 8 hour life. Go into About Phone, Status and disable battery optimization. The handset reboots and incredibly this morning it was like the old days .

Maybe I'll try that. The best I was able to do was 21 hours with one bar LTE, 6 hour's sleep, and 3h40m screen on time with several hour's worth of Pocket Casts.

i confirm that on build .33 i lost my battery even on stamina mode one percent every 10 minuets over using wifi , it just keeps the battery when device is screen off -_- its horrible i didnt have this kind of problem with .253 and im wondering revert back to MM
