Actually from the first I am using application called Greenify which is manually aborting all the application running in the backgrounds on that the phone is always keeping it so cool so I think you should be using it so that all the unnecessary application will stop but I think Android Oreo can handle it well because it is well designed to handle this situation so wait for another update as the Asus has promised that it will be resolving this issue very soon
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] Krishnaprasadkk:
Does anyone had given phone to Asus service center and resolved the issue?

Could you post your battery graph, and 'android system' screenshots if its not too much trouble. Thanks.

The android screenshot can be taken by going into settings - battery - tap on the 3 dots on the top right - tap on full device usage - scroll down and go into Android System and take screenshot. It should look like this. Thanks.

Also if its not too much trouble could people post the following screenshot as well. It'll be very helpful.

Please clear your ram and take this screenshot after 30 seconds into the app.

Yeah battery does drain overnight but its minimal and Android System seems to consume most of the juice Idk why.. I even play PUBG but Android System still remains at top lol and tbh battery doesn't feel like a 5000mAh one.. And I feel these issues will be solved by future updates
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] gitssac:
It says 26% and 2400mah! It's a wrong reading. 2400mah is almost 50%.

Like I said the forum is not allowing me to post links. That's why I took off http from the link to mask that it's a link.

Thanks for posting it. I wish the other guy who has a normal battery drain also posts his.

Exactly..it's so screwed up. How much does it exactly drain overnight?
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] Shefeak Seedh:
It drained a freaking 30% overnight for me. This seriously needs a fix
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] Krishnaprasadkk:
Yeah these issues can be fixed by a software update and the issue idle drain can be fixed but the Android system will always remain the top to consume battery because these task(Android system)is the bearbone of any Android device and even if we use any apps still android system consumes battery because it provides a platform for the apps to run.

:(

---------- Post added at 05:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:09 AM ----------

No bro it's the correct stats :laugh:

The stats says 26% of total app usage...That means the total power consumed by the apps in the system is 26% of 2407mah...That is 625 mAh is being used by the apps to run in Android platform(Android system) and rest 1782mah is being used by the system when it is in idle conditions.This issue is a major bug and it causes heavy idle drain.

(PS-Also look at your battery stats.Its like mine and understand the fact)

Are you using xda labs or the normal xda app from playstore or are you using the xda developers website to participate in the forum?

---------- Post added at 05:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:17 AM ----------

Oh it's sad.New FOTA update will be released to fix this issue.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] gitssac:
If that's the case then why is mine saying 8900mah?

See below. My stats got reset after the last charge,so it's not adding from a second charge. See graph.

[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] Krishnaprasadkk:
Oh everything is strange with this bug.Wtf is happening with this Android system bug!!! Asus must release the next FOTA update asap to fix this bug.

How much hours of sot are you getting after full charge?

If you had added https protocol in the links before you can easily post links without any problem.

You are lucky...latest firmware and no bug.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] pranavsree00:
If you have a locked the bootloader and stock recovery just download the firmware from asus site and go to recovery do a factory reset and select update from external storage and flash the zip,it may fix

Wow... 2 1/2 hours of sot and only 17% drain. Thanks.

Please could you tell how much drain you are encountering on idle state overnight? Thanks. screenshots would help.

The same 17% drain for me but......

---------- Post added at 10:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:38 PM ----------

All the above after I Full charged from 0 to 100% in switched off state.

---------- Post added at 10:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:41 PM ----------

No apps in ram or background. Didn't open any apps except calls and Firefox.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] gitssac:
I could get a sot of 7 to 8 hours if say after the battery charged fully and I used it continuously till it reaches zero at 50% brightness. But the problem is if I leave the phone in idle, it discharges rapidly. So the more time the phone is in idle the less sot I get.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] Krishnaprasadkk:
Yeah I could easily get 9.5 hours of sot at different brightness levels after full charge with battery saver mode on and continuous usage.

Man that's what we are discussing and that's what's this thread for "standby drain" and that's everyone's issue after the latest firmware update.

That's also in normal case also-The more the phone is in idle conditions the less sot we get but lot more less battery consumption (That is 1% drain for 9 to 10 hours in idle conditions) but when the standby drain is high or if we are facing any bug on our phone(such as Android system bug) you could loose 15% to 20% charge (or higher % of charge)for 9 to 10 hours in idle conditions.

There is less chance this issue can be fixed by custom flashing the stock ROM. So I am waiting for the next fota update to fix this issue.

[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] rneeld:
I have been facing the same drain issue for a while now. I remember using the phone without any sim card for the first week. It used to last around 4 days with average use time.

Now it barely lasts a whole day. And night time discharge is the biggest worry with system using up all my remaining battery.

I have restricted Android system background activity and I have also installed Greenify. I will post an update about how it goes soon enough.

Also, how to check my firmware version? I don't remember getting ANY update since I got the phone on June 16th!
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] Krishnaprasadkk:
Looks good.

What's the SOT?

---------- Post added at 09:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:47 AM ----------

No change will happen if you restrict the system background activity and by using greenify. Idle drain still occurs.I had already tested it out.It's a major software bug.

To check the firmware version-

Go to settings-system-about phone-Build no

To check whether any update has been released-

Go to settings-system-system update.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] rneeld:
The build no. is a big alpha numeric value, but I don't see 309/311 anywhere in it
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] SumitGupta2442:

[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] Krishnaprasadkk:

[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] rneeld:
Whoops, it does seem that my firmware isn't updated. So now I have a new issue bugging me-why am i not getting the fota updates? I do realize there are separate threads to address this problem now.

ibb.co/fA7apy

Also, would it be recommended to manually get an update or to wait for something more stable (with regards to the battery issue)
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] gitssac:
Which update are you on? Why does it say H in your mobile net?

The latest update was completely useless. Didn't solve anything.

I'm starting to think the worst. In order to increase the fingerprint scanner speed maybe they are making some andriod system process run in the background. And that is draining the battery probably. Since the phone has a 5000mah they are sacrificing battery backup for unlock speed. The average idiot who buys the phone isn't going to complain about battery backup of 2 days, but will complain about a slow scanner. They are thinking in that perspective.

I have opened just Firefox for 10 mins(no other apps in ram) and the phone has heated up like crazy...along with a 4% drop in battery with 30% screen brightness.

Installing the 309 update is one of the biggest mistakes ever. Can I downgrade to 305?

---------- Post added at 11:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 AM ----------

Here is the fun part...as soon as the battery reaches 7% the backup is amazing! The 7% battery will even last 24 hours on idle.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] Krishnaprasadkk:
Yeah that's the problem.It's not a bug. Asus had intentionally created this problem.

I removed the fingerprint scanner data and the idle drain was fixed (1% drain in 7 hours).

Aftab_Khatri had already mentioned it earlier.But I didn't cared about it. Now the idle drain had been fixed.

No.You cannot downgraded to 305 because the firmware file of the 305 version in the Asus website is corrupted.(I had already tried that?)

Please post your battery stats.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] Aftab_khatri:
Charge battery to 100% and drain to 0. Do this 2 to 3 times. You will lose android system drain. Battery percent will reset this way
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] ThejasP:
Did you tried it? Does it work?
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] Aftab_khatri:

[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] gitssac:
Ok Guys I did a bunch of stuff and.. I FINALLY CURED MY PHONE OF THE STUPID ANDROID SYSTEM BATTERY DRAIN BUG!

Follow these steps.. do not skip any of them.

1 ) If you have any THIRD PARTY monitoring apps, simply uninstall them. Some examples of monitoring apps are ones which displays internet connection speed in bytes in the notification bar, or keeps track of your app usage, or keeps track of your net usage, or keeps track of your cpu or ram usage etc etc.

If it monitors your phone just uninstall them. After you have uninstalled then shutdown your phone then Wait for a minute and then boot normally. After you have booted normally, dont do anything for 5 minutes. Then shutdown your phone again then Wait for a minute then Boot in recovery, wipe cache partition, and then reboot. Now when the phone is booting up don't do anything for 5 mins(except enter the lock screen pin/password if you have set up one). Like I said wait for 5 mins to let it load fully. Then start using it normally.

2) Now continue using the phone normally till battery drains to 0% and it shuts off. Now you have to do battery calibration. To do that follow these steps, if you screw up then you screw up the calibration as well.

After the battery reaches zero and shuts off, charge your phone to 100% IN SWITCHED OFF CONDITION. After it reaches 100% and the notification led turns green(indicating trickle charge is complete), wait for another 15 minutes to make sure any residual trickle charge is also fully done, just in case. Now is the important part..you have to turn on the phone when the charger is still on/the phone is still in charge. Then during booting the phone displays asus logo, then the zenfone logo ,then the lockscreen pin/password(for people who have set up the lockscreen security), then the zenfone logo again. Now the details are varying here, as some people recommend to turn off the charger when the asus logo appears. But I turned off the charger 3 seconds into the second zenfone logo appearance after the pin/password screen(for people who have not setup lock screen security, turn off the charger 6-7 seconds into the zenfone logo). I'll leave it to you what you want to follow as to when to turn off the charger. And remember to turn/switch off your charger, not yank the usb cable out when the charger is still on. After you turn off the charger, wait for 30 seconds then take the usb cable out. Then use your phone normally till it reaches 0% again and shuts off. Then repeat the above process charging process. Do this for another 3 times, your battery should be calibrated accurately now.

Don't drain your battery using battery draining apps or over use your battery to drain it quickly. Use it normally like you usually do. Have Patience!

To be on the safer side, before you start uninstalling the monitoring apps, I recommend you remove the finger prints you have set up, then uninstall the third party monitoring apps(if you have any), then wipe cache partition, then battery calibration. After 3-4 times of the batt calibration procedure, setup your fingerprint scanner again.

[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] gitssac:

See the above stats. I got that with the latest 316 ... 414mb update which was released 2 days back.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] gitssac:
Some more screenshots...

1) I got these with 75% of internet video activity on 4g data..rest 25% on WiFi. If I had been on WiFi throughout then I would have gotten more screen on time.

2) Also the screen brightness was on average 50%.(with night light off as reddish tint will require more battery for a given amount of brightness)

3) Used the default "clear all" to clear apps in the background/ram while on standby.

Hello. 0).Sorry, I have an Asus Zenfone Max PLUS, not a PRO, but can I get some help as there's no real dedicated forum section for it?

The battery on my PLUS is also horrible--I have better phones that are over 2 years old and yet lower priced. Anyway,

1). There is an official Asus app to unlock the bootloader for the PLUS (ZB570TL). After unlocking the bootloader, can I root it using any rooting tool because the bootloader is (will be) unlocked, or does someone have to make the root specific to my phone? As in, even if my bootloader is unlocked, can I not root it of say, SuperSU, Kingroot, or Magisk have not been modified to work with my specific phone?

2). Can someone help me root this, please?

3) Can someone help me put a custom ROM (AEX is mentioned here as giving this expensive paperweight the battery life it should have had out of the box).

Thanks :)

pm me if possible
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] Shefeak Seedh:
Try rooting it with kingroot

If that's not possible after unlocking install twrp and install magisk.
