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

[soorajrs22march]

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...

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

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.

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...

Can you do a battery calibration by following the instructions below

1. Discharge your phone fully until it turns itself off.
2. Turn it on again and let it turn itself off.
3. Plug your phone into a charger and, without turning it on, let it charge until the on-screen or LED indicator says 100 percent.
4. Unplug your charger.
5. Turn your phone on.

See if this have improved the situation or not.

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.
