Why in the world is my zenfone max pro m1 battery drain is like a leaking bucket..

I had it.. what is this some kind of joke..? I can't use my phone for even 2 hrs now. A phone which lasted the entire day with full usage.. I used to watch 3-4 films in one single charge.
It shows 5 hrs left but it won't last even for 2 hours. Even if it does for 5 hrs is that all this phone had..? For 80% it gave more than 24 hrs of standby.
I don't know if asus has some kind of broken dictionary or something.. !!! the word UPDATE means to make improvements.. not to make it worse.. really if you can't do it right don't do it.. I mean no one is asking you to..! Everyime u bring out a new update patche something gets worse.. instead of bringing some new features u take away the things which was already there.. it's good to see asus still has a sense of humour.!!
This was a good phone.. one of the best I had.. the battery performance was the highlight.. and u ruined it.. thanku.. really helpful.. now I can't leave my home for more than 2-3 hours because the battery drains without any usage..
Either fix it or give me my refund.. you guys are the one who said about the great battery life. And I am not getting any now.. there nothing wrong with the battery.. it's just your useless updates.. so technically u destroyed the phone...

Can you do a battery calibration by following the instructions below
See if this have improved the situation or not.
It didn't do anything.. this update was the worse.. now the speaker is not working properly.. the battery drain is horrible.. just watching it will make u cringe.. hundreds of people have the same issue.. then why can't asus make a patch to fix this issue and calibrate along with it.. this is too much.. I have to worry about the battery always.. see the battery management.. 2 hrs.. without any use.. phone on idle..!!
I didn't see this much drain on any post.
Only 1 hour 51 minutes backup remaining while phone is on 96% charge!
That's horrible.
The things which you should do, are
1. Install Avast Cleanup. Give it it's full permission. And batch stop every app. It shall force stop every possible app.
2. Change the charging place. I.e. to plug the adapter to another wall socket.
3. Reboot to safe mode. And again reboot. Or charge the mobile in safe mode.
4. Reboot 5-6 times.
And the last, Factory reset. Which I wouldn't suggest....
Better I would suggest to DM AsusIndia via Instagram. They shall reply. I'm not an engineer neithera computer expert. But can assure you, they shall reply to you if you DM THEM. Atleast in my case, they did.
Yes bro, My mobile also draining quickly. I'm also using same " asus max pro m1". Worst phone I have used ever. Night 40 % battery there next day morning my phone switch off, it's draining like a leaking bucket. Front camera worst ,back camera ok performance. Selfie camera is worst.
Yes battery is draining quickly after 87 update
I also updated my phone to 086 version and then the battery drain occured. Within 24 hours i reverted back to 082 version and now my phone is working perfectly fine. I would suggest you guys to roll back to the previous build. There is one irratating thing though. The new fota update will stay in the notification bar unless you want to update it. And finally don't trust on asus and don't update any fota updates in the future. Better go for custom roms.
No gaming, used at morning and then at 4
(Well I do play PUBG but it's deleted after the ban)
Asus sure knows how to sabotage their own brand. It's unbelievable that an update with such a critical bug is released. Countless phones would have been permanently damaged due to this one update. Though as I can see now, Asus has been releasing very buggy updates since way back.
This experience has been so frustrating, I'm going to cringe every time I see an Asus phone anywhere.
Me too facing this same issue after last update..so do you fix it on Android 10 update and sound problem too...and when we got the Android 10 beta update..? Answer us...
Go and burst out your frustrations to Asusindia on insta. DM them. 😂
Anyways I'm also a Zenfone Max Pro M1 user since 2 years. But after the 600Mb (approx) update. I didn't face the issue till now.
But might get. Let's see. But I can suggest the only one - Avast Cleanup
Yup... It's very very bad.. the thing is this phone was like a long range electric vehicle.. I could go out for 2 days with only necessary usage on a single charge.. and now without even opening the phone the battery is gone just like shuuuuuuuuuuuuu..... Have to charge every 3 hrs..!!
I mean it was fine.. and because of their legendary update it ruined the phone and became a headache for us now.. and now the are asking us to fix it by calibrating it.. reallyy..?? We should fix what they destroyed..? I don't see how that is my job... If I ruined it then fine.. well here I didn't.. their update of the millennium did..!!
By the by.. the calibration didn't worked.. I did what they told me and it didn't work.. I don't know that if it is because I don't have a diploma in electronics or something...
I tried.. it didn't work.. it didn't do anything..
Wait.. how did u do that.. downgrade..?
Oh I am definitely planning to burst something somewhere..!!!
Just look at time... Hmmm... but it seems the app usage is showing the correct data. But what the actual battery drain is entirely different..
Mera Max Pro m1 me bhi same yahi problam hai yar pareshan ho gaye Phone charge kar kar k.....heat bhi ho jata hai ekdum lagta hai jaise battery blast ho jayege...
@Titan_ASUS you know u should try to respond.. alleast try..
Hi, we suggest you to please visit the nearest ASUS service center for better assistance. Locate here : https://www.asus.com/in/support/Service-Center/India
Brother, I don't think it's just because of the recent update maybe your battery need replacement.
Look at my battery stats
