Rokr, 24 Nov 2015Pathetic Combi of HTC desire eye and also a clear cut mock ... moreThe battery is definitely an issue. I have recently purchased one and am very worried about the way the battery has been behaving. It drains even when in sleep mode when aeroplane mode is turned on. The phone has a plethora of battery management apps including one which prevents apps from auto starting, none of which seem to be working. I found the battery management system similar to in Xperia phones but in the Xperia it works very efficiently.
My question is what is the use of a great phone at a great price if it keeps running out of juice and you cannot use it?

    The battery in the Zenfone Selfie is nothing to write home about. If someone plays continuous music then my guess is about 6hrs of backup max. My phone drains about 10% every hour with minimum use even when on power saving mode, screen brightness on auto and apps denied permission to auto start up. My S3 gave much better backup when it was new. Now both the S3 (3 year old) and my Zenphone Selfie (2 days old) drain battery at almost the same rate. Also it gets a bit warm around the back camera when on wifi for about 15-20 mins. Don't know if that is a general issue or specific to me handset.

                  Wiping partition cache will resolve any conflicts caused by residual cache from the earlier firmware version.Wiping partition cache will not delete your data. However be careful while doing this procedure and do not accidentally select other options that might delete your data. Do not wipe partition cache often.
