Did you factory reset after updating to A12?
Yves,twice. Now i have downgradesd to Android 11 via Asus support. And sisetem update poped up via OTA in phone settings. Mi first Android 12 update i did manualy via Asus support but now while im on Android 11 again i see update for Android 12 in phone update software settings.
Sorry, then. For me 12 was a considerable improvement. Battery manager says nothing relevant about what consumed so much power?
How is your battery on Android 12?you updated it on Android 12 over OTA or manualy?Im loosing battery very quickly just by using the phone for tiping or reading some news. Its very inconsistent battery life. 3.5 SOT,sometimes 4 hours SOT. Im on dinamic,and automatic reftesh rate and
Battery management/usage chart is correct from what i can tell but the drain in real time is way bigger then what battery usage shows. My OAD drains 1% per 10 minutes. Also just using stock messeging app for a few minutes drains 3 to 4% of battery. Taking short 1080p videos for 30 to 45 secinds drains 1 % of battery. (i use camera for recording my workout sets)I have tried all battery Modes and all reftesh rate modes and nothing helped. Factory reset 2 times, downgradesd to Android 11 once and then updated via OTA to Android 12 again.(first Android 12 update was done manualy via Asus support)My battery is defective 100%. Im gonna go to store where i bought the phone and ask for new one cause this has faulty battery.I know its defective battery cause i cahanged alot of phones and i see form other phones how batterys should perform. Also i never game on the phone.
Several consecutive manual updates, no OTA so far.
From what you describe, everything suggests a defective battery.
Do you think the store will give me a new phone?its not official Asus store,its a mixed electronic store. Its still under warenty,less than 1 month old phone.

I just update manually from A11 .82 firmware to A12, so far battery has a good improvement, right now my phone from 100% almost reach 2 days without charging, and now it still 13% of juice and the SoT 4 hours 45 minutes. I'm a casual user, social media (instagram, twitter), spending 40 minutes on youtube, spotify, mostly whatsapp and I say this battery life has a great improvement comparing the Android 11 where it will only last a day less.
I did the update to Android 12 manualy also 3 weeks ago,3.6 GB file but yesterday i downgraded to Android 11,also manualy više Asus support site. And when i turned on the phone on Android 11,a systems software update notification poped up and was for last Android 12 build(OTA notification) Ande this time was 1.4 GB so half the size compared to the first manual update to Android 12. And i downloaded the update and im now on Android 12 again. Maybe this new OTA update will fix the battery. Maybe the big manual update was faulty in some way and was drainning the battery. This is my last hope.
Android 12 is just out, fix updates will be released for this
Android 12 is out via OTA?you sure they gonna fix the battery?
Yes its out. Not sure if thats fix the battery but im gonna try it today
Yes,but latter updates will fix the battery drain?
How is your battery?does it last from morning till you go to sleep?whats your SOT?Mine battery is very bad.
Im gonna check tomorrow. But before i have around 4-5 hours SOT. I hope this help getting better batterytime.but now its around 1hour SOT and down 17%. But i have download much apps and updates. I will tell you tomorrow if its works better
Not getting better battery life. Same like before
This is from today,i unplug the phone every day at 10 in the morning
Mine. Unplugd 6 in morning
Way better than mine,i dont know if the battery is defective or the update will fix that. Are you using AOD?
