Please tell us some basic information before asking for help:
Model Name: Asus ROG Phone 5 Global
Firmware Version: Latest
Rooted or not: No
Frequency of Occurrence: Regular
APP Name & APP Version (If your issue relates to the app):
In addition to information above, please also provide as much details as you can, e.g., using scenario, what troubleshooting you've already done, screenshot, etc.
========================================
Battery mode: Dynamic
Refresh Rate: Auto
My new 3 days old ROG 5 is showing approx 6 hours of SOT with mixed usage and lasts for about 20 hours. So, I ran the AccuBattery Pro while charging the phone from 5% to 98%, and twice while charging from around 40% to 100%.
And here are the results, even after a total charge of 174%, it didn't charge to the capacity of 6000mAh.
Can anyone in the community perform the same test as well using AccuBattery Pro and see what the battery health and estimated capacity is?
For comparison I ran the same test on my almost 3 years old Oneplus 6T(2nd pic):

The first day after formatting I got 11 hrs of SOT, then 2nd day (this includes Friday and Saturday) with light-mixed usage, and phone standby/idle sucking the most charge, got 10 hrs of SOT.
Lol guys I have another experiment we could try out........ Its crazy, now I am the one with the battery issue I believe.
My battery works perfectly normal otherwise, but only when I use Signal it takes a HUGE nosedive, I made a post about it here: https://zentalk.asus.com/en/discussion/49783/voice-call-on-signal-chugs-battery-life-on-rog-phone-5/... TL;DR - I think the mobile radios are horribly unoptimized, which is what caused this. But this is a one-off situation, I don't think I could replicate it if I were to not use mobile data for heavy amounts of time. Anybody else notice a similar drain when you're using mobile data only?

thejus44I agree some aspects of the OS are quite unoptimized which lead to battery drain.Lol guys I have another experiment we could try out........ Its crazy, now I am the one with the battery issue I believe.

I hope these stats are wrong, but the rate at which my charge is draining I think it might be accurate.
I took the SS at 12:50, now at the time of upload, 12:55, the charge dropped to 97.
Wow..
