[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJR96:
Bear in mind that the fast charger will only kick in when battery is below 68% charged, and I thinks slows down when charge gets up to that amount too. At least that's my understanding of it.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedisturbedone:
It's only logical I think that the 4GB version has higher battery usage. Android loves to fill up the RAM unlike Windows (which loves to free us the RAM). So maintaining more cache would definitely require more RAM. I made the mistake of buying the 4GB. I hope the battery optimisations in 5.1 will help reduce the issue.

I am no expert but these are just my thoughts.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lyeith:
i suspect the issue with the 4GB ram model is the higher boost clock of the processor (more voltage and battery drain)..

if anything, the ram should be helping to keep power consumption in check since you dont need to keep reloading apps over and over.. unless of course theres a misbehaving app

try the usual tweaks such as "disable wifi scanning even when off" and the startup manager.. should help with you mileage somewhat.

if you're willing to root, you can freeze/uninstall many asus apps like dr safety as well
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedisturbedone:
Oh im all rooted and greenified. But yes the higher clock speed can definitely be a culprit. And yes as you say.. RAM should help. But coupled with the known memory leaks of lollipop and stuff, I think the RAM might also to be blamed. Anyway waiting for a sfotware fix soon.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psommerfeld:
Do you guys have latest software? I think I just got an update a day or two ago, version 2.17.40.6 for my phone. I'm finally starting to see reasonable battery drain now. 12 hours, with screen active 5 hours during that time.

Also disable lots of useless apps from starting with Auto-Start Manager.

What are the top 5 draining apps?

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaityas:
Hi, just got the asus zenfone2 2gb a couple of days ago, and I have the same problem. Charging takes 8 hours at least for a full charge and battery drains from 100 to 20 in only a couple of hours. When I bought it, the problem was already there at the first boot. It took at least 20 minutes to get it from dead to have it finally go on. I took the phone from the box and it was dead. I don't know about asus, but I am sure that every phone that I have ever bought had at least a little bit of power when first taken out of box, but this phone was different. Was it a factory defect or am I just charging wrong?
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ione2380:
Make sure the cable is inserted in the charger all the way. Or try another charger or cable.

Ha ha ha my 10/2/15 post...

... updated info...

yes, 4gb version. 64GB ram (32 GB memory card)

yes, even did (I bet this screwed it up worse) an update earlier this week.

before that I was able to get device booted or at least saw a cable.

I have tried at least 6 different USB micro charging cables, and several power sources..

(portable battery, direct ac power, ASUS supplied charger, and 3-4 other chargers (cube/hi power, etc)

...STILL wont get power..

yeah right.

I) I hate the non-removable battery.

2) device (in past) has just dropped dead, and t00k 3-5 hrs before it had a charge sufficient to boot phone

3) upgraded OTA updates, last one early this week.

3) current status:

Phone dead, wont charge:

(have a usb cable that turns from blue (nothing attached or full

battery) to Red (connected or charging)

it is solid blue...

also tried the charger that came with device, as well as a hardwired ac (USA) charger, and some fast chargers I have (4a/5v)

The blue light on the USB cable is telling me that:

* the cable is getting power from the source

* The device is not recognizing the cable or power source .

ALL in all, I liked this device (except for battery), and now I am frustrated
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Common usef:
I figured out that the fast charge didn't work when any power saver was on. Just put it on normal and then try. That should solve the problem.

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xeslaroi:
Don't forget to switch of all Google apps , in Lollipop Google is a battery killer.

And, this helped me, read the faq's in Asus Support on you're phone.

I bought this phone for the increased battery life (3000mAh and Asus claims over 12hrs battery life) compared with my Zenfone 5.

Very disappointing so far.

After tuning the apps the battery lives for 10hrs but only in standby. In case of gaming or making phone calls the battery life is horrible.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baldriksen:
The "3000mAh" don't really means something, because each phone consumes more or less power. And what Asus claims is claimed by Asus, the manufacturer so it might be faked a bit.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobby2005:
Hi guys,

I also have a problem with battery draining.

I bought phone 5 days ago from Aliexpress dealer. First that I mentioned is that after first charge battery disgarges 10% per hour.

At first I update the phone to last WW version xxx.xxx.xx.97

After that I disabled most of google services of apps that I am not using.

At least I fully disgarge battery and charge it again to 100% and also use battery calibration sofware - nothing helped till now.

According to battery information 70% of battery capacity goes for Android operating system and I can't stop this :(

I will apriciate any advice how to solve this problem

On the other hand battery charge is really fast - it's need less than one hour for fully charge from 15%. The production date of battery is 04/15 which I think is OK.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahnarek:
Problems with charging

I am a fun of ASUS, but my ASUS zenfone 2 deluxe indeed makes me upset. The phone does nor charge normally and dries very fast. The first cable that came with the phone stopped working after 5 months and since then I have to buy a cable every month.

Hi,

Is there any other information which can help to protect our device battery? This issue is common for all Zenfone 2. I have recently bought same device and facing the same problem as everyone complains. Battery issue is the major problem of this device. There is no latest system updates found in middle east reason.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJFIVEOH:
First off I'd like to say thanks for this great forum. I've used it many times over the years but just recently registered. I've never really had anything substantial to add (still don't). In the past I've had a Photon and HTC One M7, both from Sprint. I never really had the urge to mess with them at all. I recently bought a Note 4 and I decided to root it. I'm more of a computer person, building and customizing but never got into messing with phones.

With that said I'm in need of some help so I decided to register. Not sure if I have much to add at this point to become a contributing member so if anybody is hesitant to help I completely understand. I've been a noob on many other forums, and have also seen noobs come and go. So if anybody can help, that's great and I thank you ahead of time. If not, that's OK too.

I was completely torn between the new LG, an HTC One M9 and the Note 4........ I even considered the Nexus. The audio quality of the M7 that I had was and still is better than any other non-HTC phone on the market and it was really tough to convince myself to get something different. I wanted a big screen with great hardware. The Note 4 had all that except for the audio. The audio, speakers and headphone quality absolutely suck. I am terribly disappointed. I was going to see if HTC was going to release a version with a bigger display, I saw that it is a toned down version. If HTC made a 5.5-5.7" maxed out version like the smaller M9 I would have gotten it.

Now, I've rooted this phone and I've gone through all the steps of installing V4A and no matter what I do it does not function at all. The problem I see is that my phone upgraded to Lollipop. In order to properly install V4A the SELinux mode needs to be set to permissive. There was an app (I forget the name of it offhand) that could change the mode, unfortunately it is not compatible with Lollipop. Without changing the mode to permissive I cannot properly install V4A.

I've searched through this forum a couple times over and can't seem to find what I'm looking for. Is there another way to change this mode? What about recommendations for one of the custom ROM's that has V4A in it? I'm really open to any suggestions. I'm really fed up with this phone telling me what volume level is enough. I use this phone for music all the time and the stock equalizer automatically cuts the volume down to the highest equalizer setting. I can hear the difference, when using Spotify if I skip to the next song the stock equalizer (SoundAlive) takes a split second to kick in and you can hear how it should sound without SoundAlive. For all this Note 4 has, I'm really starting to regret getting this over the M9. It would be a great phone if I can get some volume back as well as some decent sound quality.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KLPFL:
You need custom kernel to set mode from enforced to permissive... or google there is away to enable V4A to work with stock kernel that involve romtool.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patrick_1:
This phone imo is top notch in all areas but I agree with you on the audio quality, stock music player that is. I use PowerAmp and all of that changes, even through the phones tiny speaker. My suggestion is to revert to stock and simply install the app if you're just looking to improve audio quality. Just my 2 cents.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJFIVEOH:
I've heard many good things about PowerAmp but as far as I know that's only applicable to downloaded songs. It doesn't work with Spotify.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patrick_1:
Yeah that's true. Sorry
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenjesse:
I'd suggest using the Emotion r14 kernel. That will get you permissive and a much snappier phone as well as having tweaks specific to sound. It supports Faux 123 sound on top of everything else. You should find a link to the kernel in the original android development area.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJFIVEOH:
Thank you for the recommendation. I'll check it out. If I can get the permissive setting I shouldn't have any issues getting V4A installed. Everything else that comes with that kernel is an added bonus.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJFIVEOH:
OK, that kernel worked great! I was able to install V4A almost flawlessly. No disrespect to any of the equalizer apps out there but V4A is by far the best audio control I've used. I've been banging my head against the wall trying to get this installed. That kernel did make the phone a little "snappier" as you put it. I haven't had a chance to mess with Synapse, I might just leave well enough alone as it's now working he way I want. Thanks again.

I am a beginner to Android, and I am wondering if someone can introduce me to how to make my Galaxy S4 into a Google Play Edition with Lollipop. Can someone walk me through this?

Please help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CoMtnMan:
Likely this will not be possible for you.

Samsung and Verizon have kept the GS4 Bootloader locked and unless you have the "MDK" version of the bootloader there are no options to change your ROM to "Google Play Edition with Lollipop". Furthermore, depending on your current bootloader, you may not even be able to root your phone.

Go to the Baseband section under settings/more/about device and look for the baseband version. The last 3 letters/numbers are the ones you will see referred to in these posts. Up to NK4 was KitKat, OC1 is Lollipop.

If your last 3 are MDK you may be able to use an exploit called Loki which will allow you to root and change roms - (search MDK and Loki on these forums). Unfortunately if your last 3 are OC1 then you are on Lollipop and out of luck for root/custom roms at the moment.

Once you find those letters/numbers you will know your options. For Kitkat versions you can root with Towelroot and install the Safestrap app/recovery and use that to flash custom Kitkat Touchwiz Roms only. There are a few methods for upgrading to Lollipop from NK4 and retaining root but you must root the phone first before upgrading.

With very few exceptions, once you upgrade your bootloader/baseband version you cannot downgrade, so if you are already on OC1, the only option is to wait for a new root exploit to be found.

Hope this helps a little.
