how is battery life on the ze550ml?

I read battery life is pretty bas on the higher end models the ZE551ML... but how about battery life on the ZE550ML? I currently have a galaxy S5 and battery life is pretty awesome (3 days on light use and 2 days on moderate use). How does the ZE550ML compares?

Pretty poor battery life on my 550ML. 10-12 hours on moderate / heavy use for me. Wi-Fi, Android OS, and Android System are normally the top consumers, so I have no idea what's really eating the battery.

Seems very good to me. 551ML is not going to get 10-12 hours of heavy use. Check onscreen time and describe your use (SIM data or WiFi, videos, gaming, surfing, display brightness?)
My typical use on 551ML is WiFi, low brightness, surfing, flipping around. Guess get about 5-6 hours onscreen.

No games. Mostly browser use (Dolphin browser). What battery life are you getting? For how much of the time is the screen on, and also how much time spent gaming?

Battery Saving mode not working as expected in stock OxygenOS

Hi,
I got my OnePlus 3 nearly 4 days back from the date of this post and I have been experiencing issues with the "Battery Saver" mode. When enabled, I still get all the notifications and from applications like WhatsApp, Facebook, etc. leading to battery drain issues and poor user experience.
Check attached screenshot for more details. I was in battery saving mode and still got a WhatsApp notification, and with 95% of charge and it shows me 4hrs of standby time.
Please guide me at the earliest if this is a problem with the device(H/W) or the operating system, so that I can ask for replacement if required.
Current OxygenOS version : 3.2.7
P.S. I moved on from Nexus 4 to OnePlus 3

Your OP3 likely is fine. You probably have an app not behaving well. I would try a wakelock detector or some battery savings tips posted in the forums. You could also try greenify and/or the kernel governor profiles listed in the news section. Some members have their device so well optimized they are getting 7-10 hours SOT. I am sure with a little more reading you will come across a solution that works for you.

I also moved from N4 to the OP3 and am loving it. I get 7+ hours of SOT.
You can do a factory reset and check. You can also calibrate the battery once by allowing the phone to reach 0% charge and shut down automatically. Then charge it to 100% while it is off and when fully charged, boot up the phone.
Most probably your issue should be solved.

Thanks for sharing,
I too loved my rooted Nexus 4.
And I think that I am getting a better battery backup on my new OnePlus 3 since past two days after using Greenify and by calibrating phone's battery(I was avoiding Greenify to benchmark this phones performance ).
What's still bugging me, is that after doing some comparison tests on other phones, when the "Battery Saver" mode is ON and I am on "mobile data" I still get application notifications on my device, which is in contrast to how other devices behave.
Behavior was similar when "Battery Saver" mode was ON and I was on "WiFi".
Devices on which I tried were OnePlus X, Moto X Play, Moto E3.
I have checked the battery optimization option, nothing there. I hope I am making sense !

Hi,
Thanks for sharing,
Yeah I am regular follower of XDA and used some nice optimization apps(greenify, wake detecter, leandroid, xposed,etc.) myself earlier on my rooted Nexus 4.
Whereas in my new OnePlus 3, what's bugging me is this :
After doing some comparison tests on other phones, when the "Battery Saver" mode is ON and I am on "mobile data" I still get application notifications on my device, which is in contrast to how other devices behave.
Behavior was similar when "Battery Saver" mode was ON and I was on "WiFi".
Devices on which I tried were OnePlus X, Moto X Play, Moto E3.
I am starting to believe that this should be a software bug and not hardware issue, but wanted to be sure and learn from the community here if they have faced something similar.
I have uninstalled some apps to get a better feel for this devices performance while its still in warranty.
I have also started using Greenify to get a better battery saving experience, which I was avoiding just to benchmark my device's performance.

Standby Drain Problem - can't find the reason

Hey guys,
i recently got a HTC 10 cause Ive dropped my Galaxy S7 in water. (insurance)
Besides that the HTC is noticeable faster, the standby drain drives me crazy.
HTC 10 @ Viper ROM with elementalX Kernel
1) What the hell is "BatteryServiceUpdateStats_3"? in 16 hours, it causes over 600 wakelocks per hour. Maybe this is my draining problem? In the Battery Historian screenshot you can see, that my phone is constantly doing something because of this process.
2) Why is there an "unknown" entry at "Kernel Wakeup Reasons"? 287 per hour... wtf?
3) In GSam you can see, that "Android OS (Kernel)" is (always) the top process...

Thankyou in advance, i can't find more tools to analyze this strange behaviour....
Edit: so i checked Battery Historian with active/inactive WiFi... and what do I see? Yep, much less wakeups from BatteryServiceUpdateStats3 & generally less Wakelock time..... why???

You might have this problem. I have it too and it's infuriating. I've pretty much stopped using WiFi unless I'm charging. Really spoiled my experience with this phone.

Do you have "ok google" hot word detection enabled? That was causing me some serious wakelocks, and I had forgotten I had enabled it to play with, it's usually not something I use or want. I'm still not sold on Google Home being a good thing because google knows everything there is to know about me. I'd rather some devices not know the pitch of my farts or where my girlfriend hides her phone when she has no pockets.
My battery life was still pretty decent though, amazing actually considering it was staying awake and always ready for my next command, but I know with it not running it will be much better.

You could have shown more infos from Battery Historian
If you wanna know what a proper Standby looks like, you can take a look at mine:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc...ark-thread-t3376159/post68929720#post68929720
but yeah.... there are a FEW known issues with HTC10 Standby....
A) 4g might cause more Batterydrain than 3G, but that was an early issue, and mainly on American Carriers.
B) WiFi does have shîtload of wakeups you cannot control. ExKernel has wlan_rx and wlan_ctrl divier options, set both to 8 (maximum) might help.
C) If you have Access to your router, maybe deactivating IPv6 can reduce WiFi Battery Drain.
To your 3 Questions.....
1)Already answered here:
Haldi4803 said:
Power Nap [Xposed Module] also blocks them. But it doesn't matter. Because they do not wake the phone, they happen when the phone gets awaken by something else.
Check this out (With Power Nap enabled and What's app excluded)
As you can see, almost no Userspace Wakelocks:
As always Google Services is the only thing you simply cannot shut up, no matter what
But yeah, the Problem is on the Kernel Level....
You see a Normal Wake due to an UserSpace Wakelock:
And one that's happening due to Kernel:
So as long as you have these Kernel wakes, the BatteryServiceUpdateStats_3 will activate at the same time. Batterylife itself is not really affected.

2) Wish i knew what these Unknown Wakeups are.... Wish i knew!
3) i don't really like GSAM, i prefer BetterBatteryStats.
What does the Battery Historian say about CPU usage by App?

Hi, did you find any solution? same thing is happening in my lenovo k6 power but only when i use jio sim. if i don't use sim there is no battery drain in standby. check my attached screenshot of battery historian.

Hi try to reinstall other kernel, im using CleanSlate v2.2.0 now so far superb. and also install htc bost to sure not eat so much RAM usage.
Last time using elemental kernel but im lazy to configure, therefore battery drain quite fast even in standby mod.

Battery drains fast ( + screenshots)

Hi,
I noticed lately that my battery is draining fast. Like 1 percent for 50 minutes (In the best case) when the phone is on airplane mode and I don't touch it at all.
When I actually use the phone it goes down to like 2-3 minutes to 1 percent of battery.
I don't have root at all but used my PC to gain access for Wakelock Detector and as you can see in the pic I got 30 minutes of malwarebytes (I have the premium version with real time protection)
But usually Whatsapp is the one on the top with the most time on CPU
I have a few screenshots of Wakelock Detector in CPU, Wakeup triggers, and kernel wakelock. And almost a screenshot from AccuBattery app. I hope I can get to the solution with your help
Also I heard about AKT that you can get 7-14 screen time hours with it. Can I use it on my device? (of course after I root it)
Thanks in advance

you should uninstall malwarebytes if you want battery drain to stop. malwarebytes is malware by itself
And then, you may want to tweak whatsapp, it consumes too much power

How can I tweak whatsapp?
Btw I noticed that when I close whatsapp my battery is pretty normal so I think whatsapp is the main cause. I got pretty good battery even when malwarebytes was on and whatsapp always seems to take most of the battery bt AccuBattery app.

So 50 minutes for 1% with apps running isn't bad... And I see you're connected to network with two bars on 4G is that LTE or HSPA variant like TMobile does? 2 bars is going to drain your battery because your modem is going to keep trying to get better signal.. none of your screen shots show you in airplane mode as well

I said that I tried to put the phone in airplane mode and even closed all no-system apps with greenify but even then the battery went down 1 percent every 50 minutes.
Btw can resetting the device can work?
If I will choose reset it I will unlock the bootloader and root the phone too
And I still don't know if I can use AKM on my phone with snapdragon 845 after & after the phone is rooted)

Of course no, if you'll continue to use watsapp.
How to tweak it must be described in general android discussions, I bet there's plenty of advices

Lol I accidentaly commented from another device so it's a different account. Anyway, do you think the problem appears because it's Whatsapp Plus (which has a kind of malware in it which stoles data, but still I decided to keep it because of the features) or it's like that in normal whatsapp too?
If I will root my phone I will be able to find an alternative for the Whatsapp Plus features while using the normal whatsapp from the playstore so just wanted to know if whatsapp has this wakelock problem globaly (Don't know if this is the place, tell me where I can open a thread on it if this isn't the place ?)

Why is it better than MiuiVN or Xiaomi.eu if you can explain?
thanks

I have now had the EU as well as VN on it. For me, One has the best battery consumption.
Explain? The question of the creator was: Best MIUI based ROM for battery life?
For me it is OneOs
The consumption at night, for example, is always very gladly taken by me, since everything is always set the same and the use also. So the value reflects very well the consumption. With One 1%. EU min 2-4% and VN also

yeah you are right
should've added "besides battery life" in there, also what about SOT on oneos, how much did you get on it?
thanks again

Take every claim of "best battery life on ABC ROM" with a grain of salt.
Everyone has different usage. Different apps. Different enabled features.
I use Xiaomi.eu Custom ROM weekly. I'm happy. I use Always-On-Display (in permanent mode), Bluetooth always enabled for my Fitness-Band. Google Fit, Maps and Play Services Background Location enabled.
