(Max Pro M1) Horrible SOT after beta update 438

[r4m4n_g44]

Down 50% and all i've got so far is 2.5 hrs (with battery saver on all the time) Pathetic even by beta standards

Mine is about 8 to 10 hour depending on use, when i got it brand new i usually got 12, guess battery degraded with time but i also think 438 has bad battery optimization.

438 have much better battery backup than latest pie 087 version.

Its almost 2.5 years old.
I have restricted almost all apps that are not high priority for me. That will vary from person to person.

The day I posted the screenshot, I was in my home itself for 90 % of the time. That was the reason why I got such a good SOT. Else I would have only got 7 to 7.5hours/ 8 hours of SOT. But, considering its a 2.5 year old device, the SOT is great.

Hi, Please follow the below steps may improve battery backup:      
1. Close apps that are not used (Bluetooth, WiFi, GPS, etc.)
2. Adjust sleep time and brightness (Settings > Display)
3. Boost memory when you see memory consumption is high with no app running,
4. check for background running applications, stop/disable unwanted apps, you can manage apps from auto-start manager. 
5. Check the following article for more information: https://www.asus.com/in/support/article/604/
6. If still you face the issue factory reset your phone after taking
a full backup: https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1006346/
7. Last option would be to visit the service center to have a
check. Locate here: https://www.asus.com/in/support/Service-Center/India
