I recently bought this battery: http://amzn.com/B002MRA8FQ
However, it doesn't seem to last longer at all compared to the stock battery. I thought that maybe I needed to drain it fully and then recharge it the whole way before it would work properly, but I noticed that it was reporting 1% life left for a good hour or so before I gave up trying to drain it. Is it possible that the battery life isn't being detected properly since its not the stock battery or is there something else going on that it lasts exactly as long as the stock battery?
as i read the article, it doesnt apear to be an original LG battery...did u ever thought that batteries are not all about XXXXmAh? More is not always better
Think of cars... an american car(ex Ford Mustang) has an 4000cm3 engine producing 200Hp . Subaru has an 2400cm3 engine producing 300hp
But i could be wrong
Cheers !
You can try wiping battery stats
How do I go about wiping the battery stats? I'm using the stock rom BTW
You need a custom recovery (root your phone first)
You can gohere if you are unfamiliar with these terms
You can do it without custom recovery if you are rooted. Use either Battery Calibration app or Root Toolbox app. Both available in the market.

ye market has a few tools to calibrate your battery for you
calibrated
So I've rooted and calibrated the battery... but it seems that it hasn't changed anything. It is weird that an extended battery twice the size of the original lasts exactly as long (or less) than the original battery
Charge your battery to full, 100%, then wipe battery stats, and allow your battery to DIE. Then your problem should be fixed. i went through the same problem, i bought a special battery with better battery life and my Optimus t, running at 806/480 on smartass governor can run for about 4 days without dying, and thats with constant use

Can you post a link to where you've got this battery from?
Thanks.

mah DOES matter!
Battery life is dictated by the mah and how you use your phone. It sounds like the battery you received is defective which happens when you buy them from sites like ebay or amazon. Is there a return policy or warranty on the battery? You should definitely get more talk time and standby time with an extended battery.
It is a common misconception that you have to let the battery drain all the way. These are li-ion batteries which prefer a shallow discharge. Meaning, they prefer to be charged when they are at about 25% capacity.
Best of luck to you!

So true. The closer they remain to fully charged the longer they last.
So I have just flashed the CM7 ICS Themed BETA, wiping everything.
I then charged to 100 percent, and used Battery Calibration app.
I have just setup some apps, and I have lost 10% battery life in 40 minutes
Display is using 85% battery life apparently.
Please help?
It can take up to a week to fully calibrate the battery. Since the battery doesn't have memory the phone has to get a feel for how much juice it actually has. Try it for a few days running the battery down and then charging it to full without unplugging. If that doesn't work you might want to try charging all the way then reflashing and immediately do a calibration.

Yeah, I'd calibrate the battery - wouldn't hurt.
Ideally always flash on a 100 % full battery to avoid problems like yours..

Cheers guys I've taken this all on board.
I'm on 13hrs on battery, its showing 16pc. Battery calibration app shows 3609mv however. This doesn't seem right to me. Am I correct in assuming the phones battery power is the mv listed and no battery is more like 100mv??
Could anyone explain the 'mv' term to me?
Is 0mv when it powers down? Is this indicative of power?
Thanks.
Lithium ion batteries never fully discharge. If they did the battery would not recharge again.

mv referers to mV, as in Milivolt. Most li-ion batteries are rated at 3.7V or 3700mV. A nominal full charge should be around 4.2V or 4200mV.

That's 35 minutes of active use. 10% isn't outside the realm of the possible.
I usually can go a full day on 60% battery, but this morning Facebook, the interwebs and text messaging put me from 100% to 77% in the course of 30 minutes. Draining 10% in 45 minutes does not seem out of the realm of possibility
I get mine to last around 20-26 hrs on a single charge, of course depending on use. but i hardly leave the house and dont use it a whole lot. One thing to make sure of is setting up profiles on SetCPU and/or undervolting. i just posted my setup on another thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20284361&postcount=28
so after you clicked the battery calibration button and it said calibration successful, you're wondering why the battery is dropping so fast under use right away?
Easy answer my friend, when you first use the battery calibration app, the first cycle (when phone is being used) will always drain a lot faster than the 2nd and 3rd time around.
The battery calibration app, wipes the battery stats, and makes a new one, however that does take at least 1 - 2 times of a full charge/discharge of the battery. There is a battery tread in the atrix general forum i believe for cailbration steps, etc to go about successfully doing a complete calibration when flashing from rom to rom.
Hope this helped
Hmm, maybe I am just upset that I have to charge every night.
Coming from a BlackBerry 9780 I could go 2 days with semi-heavy use.
I am now using the official Motorola cable, and only charging from very low to full.
Thank you for the advice.

Try getting one of these:
4800mah extended battery
1900mah extended battery
Problem Solved.
Bluetooth radio was killing my battery. WiFi is fine leaving it on as it disables in stand by, but bluetooth was absolutely draining everything.
thanks for the update
I agree, 10% loss in 40 minutes of active usage is not bad. If the OP had better battery life before he flashed to new ICS themed CM7 beta rom, maybe the new rom is to blame??? I'd OC/UV, possibly with the latest faux123 kernel.

I'm wondering if my battery is defective or battery monitor is reporting the wrong mah of the battery. Battery Monitor is reporting 1590mah.
Thanks in advance.

1620mAh is the rating printed on the back of your battery, 1590 is probably a calculated value from what the App is probing, which is why it's a bit off.
Calculated values from kernel data may be a little off from printed ratings. It's < 2% off.
Battery Monitor Widget has reported everything from 334mAh to 4200mAh. It is an estimation.
Thanks for the clarification. I was still not satisfied with the battery life, So I went into verizon last night. The guy there tested the battery and said it was bad and ordered me a new battery. I'm skeptical on that the battery is bad. He told me the voltage was measuring 4.2v. The battery was charged about 71% and that time. Does that indicate the battery is bad or can the battery voltage vary from the 3.7-3.8v recommended voltage at times?
I just got the rezound and purchased the laza zcell 3240 with it.... Put 4.2.2 ROM on it and drained the battery down.... It won't calibrate. Is there some unknown way to calibrate it

What do you mean "calibrate it"... all you can do with "calibration" is delete/wipe the battery stats file and let the OS rebuild it, it doesn't have anything to do with actually draining the battery, just how it is displayed to you and how run-times are calculated. We have known for some time this really does nothing. http://www.androidcentral.com/wiping-battery-stats-doesnt-improve-battery-life-says-google-engineer
If something is draining the battery, you have a rouge app that is holding the wakelock or a defective battery or device... install GSAM, BetterBatteryStats, or Wakelock Detector and figure out what it is.

Thanks for the response... i just realized after a few charges that it would drain from 100 to about 20% then things would go haywire it would drain so fast after that. I always monitor voltages with the solo battery widget. it would so how a steady drain down to about 3600mv then it would drop to 3400mv very rapidly... I had a droid bionic that would say it was dead at 3900mv then stay charged for many hours after the opposite is happening with this phone.
When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Can you Please share the usage Graph of your Device ?
Mine drains around 5-6% at night in standby! Its more than average considering the large 5000mah battery
Greenify / Freezing / disabling Google play services, or going nogapps improves battery life x10 times. In other cases, frustrate the app by denying it all permissions, so that it force closes every time it launches automatically (wakelock and drain prevented). Its an analogy to tying a runners shoelaces.....can't run, can't consume battery.
There are how many updates come till now for this phone? Please someone confirms it.
Draining issue is high.
Drained 29% last night..
Seems like software issue

That's true .my phone droped 20% charge last night.
It shows that the battery is consumed by android system is very high. I think it is a software issue
Same problem here after update
Battery drains overnight

Use your phone till it becomes 0% and let it shut down Now press power button for 30 secs and make sure no battery is left to reboot the phone
Charge your phone till 100% with phone turned on/off (but don't use the phone while charging)
After 100% remove from charging and start normal usage till it becomes 0% again and now repeat same procedure 3-4times
Contact Asus CC they might provide better solution for your device after checking device details

Yeah, custom roms are highly optimized though it's unofficial right now I didn't think it would be this good. Well I'm on stock rom still and use greenify which does help a bit, the drain was 4% in 8 and a half hour.
the problem is on the apps that consumes power and data like facebook, instagram and some other similiar apps.
possible fix is disable them. and use fb instag by chrome. it makes the ram usage a bit less because the app wont use ram but "move" the ram usage to chrome.
ideal drain is more, after update and a bug also found Sim 1 hd capable.
I've noticed that my used ram is always above 2.0 gb. I wonder what's running in background consuming this much ram ?, this also might be the root cause of ideal drain I guess.
