Tried couple of different roms kernel combos and even when I remove sim card and using only WiFi I can see the battery percentage drop by the minute. If screen on its when battery really suffer. I already changed battery and still same ****
What can I do or try ... Must of the time I use a g nex but I like the rezound camera better and of course beats audio battery last ne around 4-5 hours. Ridiculous.

you have a phone with an slcd 720p 4.3 inch screen. of course screen on is going to kill battery dude, it's a big high definition screen!
I get 10 tp 17 hours out of mine, and i use it all the time.

I'm satisfied with the extended battery. It impresses me daily and I never have to worry about 15000 tasker rules to try and save battery. I just leave everything on all the time.
I never used the stock battery.
There is plenty of conflicting information about battery stats, but I've found bump charging and clearing battery stats to be helpful on other phones, even if that's just a perception thing.

I have crappy battery life on stock with minimal use, bought the extended battery and it was much better. Only issue.. i bought an otterbox defender lol.. so had to go back to stock so just frequent recharging.
I think the answer is because the battery just sucks. Its way undersized for this phone. It's hard to get a real handle on it though because everyone thinks of their usage has normal or heavy, so the accounts you read are tottaly irrelevant to how you use it.
I normally am screen on and 3G for 45-60 each morning for some news and slacking before getting to work. That will eat half my battery, which is completely unacceptable IMO. On a weekend when I pick it up a couple times an hour for a this or that, I still only get like 10-12 hours.
Our only hope is that the next phone that takes the place of the rezound has a higher capacity battery that will work for us like the deal with the thunderbolt. Otherwise, ill continue to haul around adapters and my New Trent battery whenever I'm going to be away from home for more than a few hours.
Incredible. And I hates extended battery unless they low profile like the g nex one! Anyway. Gonna try wipe battery in cwm ...thanks

My phone stock was lasting around 4 hours moderate use. Unlocked and flashed CleanRom and now I consistently get around 24 hours. I can't imagine trying to use the phone as it comes all the time...it would drive me nuts charging that much!

You try managing the simple things ? Like disabling auto sync, brightness down and wifi not looking for network constantly ? And if your done with an app close it, i mean honestly battery on rezound sucks. But those tips help a bit .

Exactly! Turned sync off and always shutoff things I don't need at the time...like wifi and mobile data. Some days are less than 24 if I play games, but it will always make through the day

CWM has always had issues wiping battery stats. I really doubt the resound version will do all that well at it either.
Use Amon ra or one of the utilities to wipe battery stats from the market or even better delete it yourself manually.

Wiping battery stats does nothing. Google even said it doesn't help.

This. There is really no reason to have the screen brightness set to over 20% When I was turning LTE off I would normally get around 20 hours on CleanROM. That's with 2 hours of screen on time and moderate use throughout the day. Been leaving LTE on and getting 14 to 16.

maybe in a pitch black room set the brightness down that low.
I use auto, but I also have 2 extended batteries and gave up on power mgmt a long time ago.
Hopefully, htc will take a page from moto and make phones with 3000mah+ nonremovable batteries. I would be ok with that.

Run my screen that low constantly unless I'm in the bright sun. Auto is a battery killer. Have no desire to use an extended battery. If they started using fixed batteries they would be driving away a lot of customers. Motorola is the last manufacturer anyone needs to emulate!

really? I am intrigued by the razr maxx simply because of the 3300mah battery. Not to mention, everyone raves about the new software moto phones have that allow you to set profiles.
I just don't like the pentile screens.
And I don't think a 3300mah battery would drive away many people. That battery would last 99% of the smartphone users over 24 hours.
The 3300 mah sounds great. The fact of not being removable is a modder's nightmare. Moto's encrypted bootloaders and god awful motoblur are major turn offs. Not to mention that all their handsets since the DX have a terrible feel.
The extended battery is nice, but I only use it when I know I'll need it because it destroys the contours of the device and makes it even more of a brick than it already is.

When I first got the phone (on release day) I was pulling 25 hours with the stock battery. I'd have the brightness on auto and use wifi whenever possible. While I was sleeping I would put it in airplane mode so I could use it as an alarm clock and not have anything else wake me up.

That made me laugh, that's like having a gorgeous car but never taking it out of the garage. You have a beautiful screen but at a brightness that low you can't appreciate it. With the extended battery I leave mine at full brightness or 75%, with the standard battery I keep it 60% or less.
i remembered there was a flashable zip to make the battery life better, but I can't seem to find it.
anyways what i've done so far is put the brightness to low, turn off gps , put the animations to .5 , sync emails every 2 hours , only have one widget running , installed the latest faux kernel .
It helped a bit , but nothing too noticeable. Any more things i can do to make it better? any tweaks or anything?
which rom are you usingg?? turn off auto sync, disable check for update.. also your battery can wear out over time, can purchase new battery... most people recommend anker battery,

i always felt like JuiceDefender killed the battery more than conserving it. Along with everything else thats been stated, I usually use System Tuner to lower the clock speed when the screen is off, helps save battery when idle.

It did not seem to work with my HD2, and I did not use it originally with my Ruby. But now it seems to work fine. I mostly use it to turn off the mobile modem (seems to be my biggest battery drain) except when the screen is off and once per hour to sync my various programs. Using this configuration I can last all day, even with my cheaper replacement batteries.
But nothing is going to make the device go if one is keeping the screen on (like gaming). 3-4 hours max in that setting, and I still carry two spare batteries for those times my son gets his hands on the device.

I don't know what you are talking about but I get crazy good battery life... Here are my stats from 2 days ago I took a screen shot of... And I don't use juice defender and I am using teamvipers sense 4.1 rom and i have around 180 user apps installed on my phone. I just don't use data but my wifi is on all the time (don't have a data plan) and I play temple run and empire defense a lot hence high screen on time. Major thing about the rom I'm using is that it's very efficient when idle. I also keep my capacitative button lights off permanently as I think that also helps my battery life. Only downside is that I don't have working bluetooth in this rom

Well, yours is unique. Most people have pretty poor battery life. I've had 3 Amazes and all of them really drained the battery when the screen was on. However, as I said, my GSM modem is what really drains the device as well. If you live near a cell tower or in a downtown area with good T-Mobile, the modem won't "hunt" and will deliver better life.
Also, the stock battery is the best, in my experience.

2g doesn't really drain too much battery, but it's still always a good idea to turn data off when you don't need it. The rest depends on the rom you are using but again there is no set number... From what I have read I am an odd ball with the battery life (and am not complaining). I assume you live in karachi? It's not even worth it to pay for 2g...I read somewhere that 3g will finally be rolling out to mobile networks in Pakistan in 2013...but we'll see...

1. Turn down screen brightness, screen kills the battery on the amaze more than anything else
2. Turn off automatic sync, this is very helpful
3. If you're on a JB ROM then turn off google now, this will stretch your battery life significantly.
Hello
I know many wants to know about the battery time of the galaxy alpha!
For me it has always lasted throughout the day.
I do not play any games on my phone and use it mostky for browsing and texting/calling.
I have more screen on time than the average user (i think)
Well, here's a screenshot
Whats ur normal Sot?
Maybe 3 hours on days I watch videos.
About 2 when I only text and browse and 9gag ofc!

It is the one with the exynos
Impress with the battery so far. Power saving mode is on 90% of the time tho.. But consumption of Android system is not impressive
But not bad Alpha, not bad..
Heres another ss
It's so much better than my s3, I use power save when I'm at work and it will drop by 10% at most leaving me with 80% at 5pm. That's with checking Facebook, texting my girlfriend and reading some articles through the day.
So everyone is using the power saving mode to get the battery to last?? That's crazy! It cripples the performance badly.
What results will you get for SOT and longevity without any power saving on? That's what I would like to know......
I agree, you should not pay 550 euro to have the same functionality as my Nokia 3310 from 15 years old. (with powersaving on)
You want all functions on, at their max speed during at least one day.

Zero lemon
I emailed Zerolemon last week and asked them if they will going to have battery for the alpha and this is their response.
"Yes, our design team is working on Galaxy alpha battery now. Hopefully it will come out in around Christmas time. We will announce of Facebook"
Im just not sure if its the 5580 mah battery or just the regular 1860.
Can anybody email them as well? so that they can rush the process of selling the battery lol. Because Ive been looking and looking in ebay and amazon and found only the oem one, and theyre too expensive atm

Nobody said everybody is using it. There are two power save modes on the phone, Power Save and Ultra Power Saving. So what's so crazy about the phone being in regular power save mode, when it's not being used?
Would I rather the phone be running at 100% CPU power throughout my 8 hour work day to leave me with less battery life? No I don't! I use it get the most out of my battery so I don't have to worry about charging it. While it's on during my day, I only text and read some articles when I'm on break. Why would I need to run at 100% to do these simple tasks? I don't. Simple. I can understand if you're trying to play a game or something very CPU intensive, but I do what makes the best sense for how I use the phone and I was just sharing I get phenomenal battery life by using the regular power save mode when the phone is going to sit idle most of the time.

I bought the external charging station, so always equipped with a second battery. we can change it!!
Much more convenient as an external battery extender...

Since this phone don't have LED indicator, I used AOD as replacement for notification. Actually, it's consume not much battery. With average usage I can get around 1 ~ 1.5 days of with SOT around 7 hour, with AOD automatically enable between 7am to 10pm.
The problem is, with AOD enable if I put it in dark room I can see a noticeable low visible light coming from the display panel. Even tho it's not hurt battery so much, it's not pleasant to the eye. With AMOLED, black background should be true black.
I have 2 unit of Galaxy J7 pro, both have the same issue. That is why I'm asking if you or other owner is having the same problem. Could be caused by Samsung's AOD implementation...

How are people finding this huge 5000mah battery?
In all honesty, I was expecting a little better performance. Perhaps it's still too early to tell but I'm on my 3rd battery cycle, have "balanced" battery mode active, power saving feature applied to most apps other than essentials, don't have Facebook installed etc. Have rooted and also Universal Doze for magisk installed.
I'm currently on 10% with 5hr30min SOT. Granted, I have been listening to Spotify today but over WiFi.
Just doesn't seem to be blowing me away and not feeling like my battery is 25% bigger than my previous Xperia 1 ii, with the exact same setup/general usage. If anything feels the same size, maybe even less?!
Used BetterBatteryStats and nothing seems out of place there.
Will continue to monitor. Still extremely happy with this phone.
Hmm so quick update, I had Dual WiFi (blend of 2g/5ghz network) enabled previously however today it's now disabled.
I'm currently on 45 mins SOT and still at 97% battery!!
Anyone else any experience with this? I haven't changed any apps but seems this setting may have been the cause of high drain for me....
Will continue to monitor....
My battery life has been pretty good after a few cycles
Not bad. I keep it on mobile data most of the time. And i charge it only to 90% with a 500mAh charger. And i do have Facebook app, a Garmin smart watch and many synced accounts that run in the background
Not bad at all IMO. Received the phone today and it was at around 40 percent. Haven't charged yet. Refresh rate is on auto.

Overall, yeah I'm very happy with this phone.
Comparing the two:
- the speakers were better on the Xperia, front facing always wins as avoids you accidentally covering the bottom firing one up on the Zenfone plus the top earpiece one isn't great. But, it's still good enough and they sound decent to keep me happy
- the less wider feel on the Xperia was also very nice but I really don't mind the feel of the zenfonr
- the camera on the Xperia was very good, but I just didn't feel like I was amazed by the point and click usage. Which I know it was really aimed for Pro users, but still....
- for the Zenfone I love the feel of it. A very fast phone, great camera, I'm a big fan of the flip camera, very good selfies (more concerned about video calls as the Xperia has a horrible smoothening effect which they didn't fix)
-the led on the Xperia was very nice whereas there's not as many colours on the Zenfone
Ultimately one of the biggest factors for me is rom and gcam development. It was virtually non existent for the Xperia but I enjoy it too much to sacrifice it. Already there is a decent gcam for zenfone and havoc & omnirom are being worked on
So I guess it boils down to what matters the most to you. Both very good options to be honest!
My first cycle from 100% down to 0% (won't be doing this often). Auto refresh, mainly on wifi (95%), AOD off, balanced profile. Not bad > 7 hour SOT.
Edit: don't know why PNG screenies aren't working with attachments :/

Auto refresh rate as I said.
I'm gonna try turning wifi off and see how long the SOT is from 100%-0% using just 4G (5G is off as my carrier doesn't support it).
Might try forcing 90Hz on a separate occasion too.
5 hr 53 min SOT ON dual sim 4G only.
battery life is good. not as good as zen 6. However its a all day phone. Charges really fast. Fastest charge so far.
90Hz is noticeable.. Keep your NFC , Bluetooth and especially Location off to save allot more battery..
Overal the phone is a winner .. only major peoblem.. I cant seem find ANY info to get 4g or even 5g here in USA> I thin this phone is NOT compatible for USA cell bands.. I even brought it to att store and they couldnt ge it to work past 3g.
This battery could be better, Asus need optimize better the kernel. I have bad performance on game Genshin impact (drop frames) and bad standby, 6h it goes 3,5%, on my motorola edge plus it goes 1% with the same condition.
I had pretty bad standby at first but then I disabled all battery optimizations and got great standby. I think "Optiflex" was the cause of it. Just turn it off.

Are you on Balanced profile still? And is Adaptive Battery enabled or disabled? Optiflex is meant to "saves battery on standby" too lol

The only battery saving setting I still have enabled is "hibernate apps" under battery settings. Optiflex, adaptive battery, detect battery-draining apps all off. Using balanced power settings but I'm mostly on 90Hz.

How much you feel the stand by battery conservation ?

From using about 1% per hour to about 2% in 8 hours sleep. Check your APN also, I've seen some mention the phone does not use the right one automatically.
Going from the Zenfone 6 to this Zenfone 7, there is certainly a slight drop in battery endurance. The better chipset/hardware etc I don't feel explains the difference but it won't put me off the phone.
Just wish phone batteries would massively improve!
