Nope, I'm using crdroid oreo rom... It's really great, feature packed, and battery efficient...

But if you're on some other rom, try singh kernel... It's great for battery, but doesn't come with fast charging (at least not when i was using)
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] [FeaR]ᴬs4500:
Guys I have one thing to say

Get fuq'd m8(sorry couldn't resist)

(That's on a custom ROM BTW)(have fun sherlock)
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] Sujith Ramesh:
Wow super... I'm getting only around 8 hrs ???
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] Diesmiling:
Placebo effect?

I bought this phone a month back and was happy with it. Awesome performance and good battery life (better than whatever I have used before) and was planing to keep it as stock as possible but I wanted the YouTube vanced so unlocked bootloader+twrp (that annoying deencryption procedure too) and magisk. But after these things battery peformance seems (not sure, that's why "seems" ) to have gone down a bit. I know I haven't done anything to tweak the system files. Maybe the battery needs few more cycles to get to normal.

Theeeeen, I found this thread and seeing the insane 10hrs+ SOT blew my mind and made me more conscious about my battery life, checking it again and again and again (maybe that's what's causing the drain? ). Right now I am on 88% with 1hour49min SOT on 4G with min brightness.

I see many people who have normal SOT (6-7 HOURS) like mine but many with the same stock+kernel have more SOT than us.

I don't want to use custom ROM or kernel for a while want to test the stock and reach the "10+ hour SOT" mark.

My question how are people (with same minimal usage and stock ROM+kernel) getting different results in terms of battery performance.

Is my battery going to settle after few more cycles? Do I need greenify+sysconfig+GMS doze+naptime to get those unreal SOT? am i insane? Is all this nonsense?
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] harsh9101:
I just bought m1 pro yesterday so i am fairly new to this so could you please tell me which kernel or custom rom supports quick charging?
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] MPK99:
The screen is already has been damaged, there's no way I can relock smartphone now. I gave to asus service centre as it is.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] Mister Black:
As for kernels supporting fast charging, all except singh kernel...

To pick one, go for darkonah or pbh, they're stable + support fast charging...

For Roms... I've tried almost all 9.0 roms... But i loved pixy os the most, since its stable+smooth+ good battery life even with the Inbuilt kernel. Liquid remix is also great in terms of performance and stability

Sorry for #oot

please help me sir ,, why is my Asus Zenfone max pro M1 screen warm or rather hot at the bottom near the charger port ?? when the screen turns on, but after the screen turns off it becomes cold again ...

do you have the same ?? I try to use lips to find out the heat ..
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] pranavkpr:
Can you compare liquid remix and aex pie...?

Which one gives highest SOT ?

On aex I'm getting 9 hrs sot at max
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] tamal777:
After 337 update. I'm geeting 11 hour and still 36% battery left.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] [FeaR]ᴬs4500:
You can always under clock by 25% safely to get better battery and not notice a performance decrement (as a plus that can reduce heat too) you CAN use greenify (don't use it to kill apps that can get messy) and just set the doze to 5 minutes(trust me you don't want doze to be instant) plus you can set the io scheduler in kernel editor to power save there's so much more you can do just do your homework before getting into this(it isn't anything super complicated but remember that some choices do matter)
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] Diesmiling:
Thank you for the reply!

I have done my fare share of tweaking in my previous two phones (not to a professional level) but I don't want to underclock this device untill there is no other option. And by "don't use it to kill apps" you mean dont force hybernate?, Just let it auto hibernate? And thank you for the doze timing.

I am a noob in terms of kernel tweaking so will save that for later when my device really really needs it.

I am just surprised that people are getting insane SOTs with same conditions like mine.

My SOT is getting better but not to that insane level haha.

And why don't you recommend instant doze?

How is naptime for SOT? And sysconfig or GMS doze?

Thank you again for the reply! Your SOT is in that "insane" level hahah. What ROM and kernel?

Have you also underclock your cpu?
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] [FeaR]ᴬs4500:
I did

Is it ok or average performance?
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] baunthiyal:
I've got more juice left. Plus almost an hour more SOT than in your screenshot.

PixyOS. No other mods.

Pretty happy with this. After Moto G4 Plus, this is a HUGE step up.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] pranavkpr:
Apps usage ss...?
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] baunthiyal:
I don't play games. Only social media.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] pranavkpr:
Thats like 15 hr SOT...how is it even possible....

I'm on Aex pie and I get only 10 hrs sot...I just use whatsapp,chrome and youtube:silly:
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] baunthiyal:
I don't use fingerprint sensor. Asus made a decent phone with a crappy FPS.

Anyway, my phone fell in water so the FPS is inaccurate mostly. :P
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] pranavkpr:
I calibrated the battery and Got 7hrs 53 mins SOT for 50% battery drain

That means 16 hrs SOT in total

(Finally good sot after moving away from stock rom)

Earlier I was getting around 9-10 hrs sot....

If you're facing low sot then try calibrating battery...

I'm not sure if I will get same results for the next charge cycle too...so I'll post any updates

On Aex Pie with darkberry V8 kernel
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] Mr.Ak:
Without any tweaks whatsoever. Coming from Bacon, this is simply amazing.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] lovekeshramawat:
Which method you used for battery calibration bro ?
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] pranavkpr:
Drain to 0% until device shuts down.... Reboot 2-3 times until it cant even boot due to low battery...

Charge for alteast 4 hrs while keeping phn off...

Dont interrupt the charging process..

After charging....turn it on then reboot and charge for 10-20 mins
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] prasanna0007:
M tried using Naptime instead of greenify.

Result are amazing.

See Attached photo.

Just bought this phone this morning,battery was about 65 when I finished the setup process. Then I charged phone until 100 and as soon as it hits 100,I unplugged because I could not wait more to use it lol. And for now it's like a dream already. I've never been a heavy user (naturally I'm still not). Used like %50 brightness, instagram, chrome, youtube videos and some spotify of course. Using greenify with adb commands for aggressive doze. Debloated FM radio and so many apps I probably will not use. Not using fingerprint scanner (it is too slow for me) nor double tap to wake/sleep. It's just ok for me to turn this phone on via typical pin code.%80 and already 4.15h SoT and 5.30h total usage.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] GliderZ:
Stock+ no root + build .339 + greenify with permissions allowed through adb
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] SPeaky:
16 hours SoT 1d 9h total usage :cool::cool:

.339 completely stock 1h pubg 3h chrome 4h spotify 1.5 wp and youtube video. Using greenify. (changed accent colors without root).

This was simply amazing. I dont know what to say..
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] Im_manish4:
Which app is that beo?
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] GliderZ:
Gsam battery monitor
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] Im_manish4:
Thanks. Btw how are you guys getting good and insane bb I only get a 9-10 hr bb on full charge and normal usage not even gaming.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] SPeaky:
I personally don't like to waste battery on phone so using naptime to aggressive doze and greenify-ing some basic idle apps(not the apps which have notification. Social media apps, gmail, Whatsapp for example). Using wifi most of the time and with %50 brightness.Right now it's %60 with 6h 29m SoT and 23h 19m total usage.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] Im_manish4:
Just 40% for 6+ hrs is really insane I only get around 4hrs for the same 40% and I also use greenify for that. I also like to save battery and get extended SOT like yours..
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] SPeaky:
Yes it's really insane.1h 19m of 7h(now)SoT is PUBG btw. I also debloated so many bloatwares with ADB (including FM Radio) which I don't use or don't even know what they are. Maybe you better try that too.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] SPeaky:
Another stellar performance with 1.5h pubg mobile is on the way
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] Mister Black:
What all modules are u using mate?
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] SPeaky:
Modules ? It's totally stock using only greenify with ADB permissions. It has no impact on SoT though, only improves idle time. Using %75 WiFi--%25 Cellular. Gonna share the final results also.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] SPeaky:
Final results over here. This phone has simply insane and unbelievable battery life. 15 hours SoT with 2 and a quarter plus day total usage
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] GliderZ:
Damn!...... That's some nicc bb. Do you always keep the battery saver on?

Heres mine with stock build .339 with greenify having adb permissions enabled. This is probably between my min-moderate use
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] SPeaky:
Yours is ok too imo. And no I dont't use it all the time, only after the battery percentage falls to %25-30.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] largonarco:
Amazing sot, best one uptil now for me.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] TecHno8:

with charge lasting for 2 and half days

stock rom oreo build 340

brightness 5%

most of the time in airplane mode and using wifi only

happy about the battery life :)

but drains very fast if I use hotspot and 4g or 3g together compared to my other phones

does anyone know how to reduce hotspot battery drain?

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!

Drains fast when not un use alsonlooks like 2500 mah battery
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] jaiganeshdon@gmail.com:
Mine drains around 5-6% at night in standby! Its more than average considering the large 5000mah battery
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] Cookie Ninja:
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.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] snghosh:
There are how many updates come till now for this phone? Please someone confirms it.

[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] Jude barretto:
Did they mention when they will release the update to fix this issue of battery calibration ??
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] Padmavathis:
Nothing was told regarding update

In my case solution was to Calibrate the battery

Asus CC will tell the procedure
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] Jude barretto:
Can u please tell how to calibrate the battery ?
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] Padmavathis:
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
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] SumitGupta2442:
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.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] novexyde:
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.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] myapky:
ideal drain is more, after update and a bug also found Sim 1 hd capable.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] SumitGupta2442:
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.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] AdityaPrakash1124:
Just go to settings and then battery usage and click on android system . Restrict its background usage.

After doing this I am getting around 30-40% more battery. Literally 30-40%!!! . My battery dropped 0% at last night and this night with wifi on it hardly dropped 2-3%. I am currently using the same phone and battery usage is showing 10hrs 4mins screen usage including 90mins of high graphics pubg (which consumed 27%) and I still have 5% battery remaining. So if you don't play high graphics game like pubg then expect atleast 12-13hours screen usage on full charge which totally justifies 5000mah battery and best in its range . I would say best battery backup phone ever if you exclude those thick chinese phones with 8000-12000mah battery.

I used Greenify and battery drop on standby is just 2% for 9 hrs . No custom roms, no custom kernels used and also not rooted.

Try aggressive doze in Greenify. It works well.

It was 80% before I went to sleep. Woke up and checked and it showed. 78%
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] RTamas91:
I was planning to buy this phone (quite a good deal in its category, especially with its price tag), but seeing all this trouble with the battery made me really disappointed.

What do you guys think, should I get this model or search for an alternative?

I really dont want to bother with manual updates every second day, just to workaround something that they’ve screwed up last night :(

The specs are really good, battery capacity is really important to me, but seeing all this pain, Im not sure anymore.

Ive gone through all the pages, this finger print reader bug was quite weird, not even planning to use it btw.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] laksh5:
If your not planning to use finger print than its a good to go to buy this mobile. I havent experienced any other bugs apart from this.Battery life is amazing if you not intend to use fingerprint.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] 1emrys1:
It wont be logical to buy a phone when i know in advance that i wont be using fingerprint. Thanks for your help guys.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] rudra.deb.pati:
It will be resolved, team is working on this. This is for testing the stability of the build with the cpu. All max pro M1 stock ROM currently running on performance kernel, which keeps all 8 cores(both performance core+low power core) enable all time. This kernel will be replaced in next subsequent updates with a stable balanced kernel. Where Snapdragon 636 will work at maximum efficiency with efficient power usage. The doze mode will be agressive too. You can expect at least 8x longer battery life, concerning current battery life you're getting.

Got update battrry drain issue resolved great work asus team for prompt resolution

----------------

Old message

There is bug in update 331 october 2018 update with zenfone max pro m1 - 6GB, after update battery is drain too fast even in Idle state, would recommend not to update the firmware those who have not updated yet, also would ask other members why should we stop the background service, before update same background service used to take minimum battery consumption, if any one can guide how to downgrade to older firmware without formatting, as older version does not overwrite the newer version.
