Basically does anyone think this is a bit odd? (Image)

I've been using my phone a lot today but for only 8 hours of use down to 14% is not good, can anyone suggest a reason why? It says the screen is using 60% but surely it can't use that much

I see no image.

--edit--

Well, it seems the image just doesnt work, but it at least tried.

--edit 2--

Had to click the jumbled letters n shit that were in the image name for it to load.

Is the screen coming on every now and then by itself or something?

Nope, never turns on by itself. 

 

Try turning your screen brightness down - if it's set to the maximum value, it can easily eat that much battery.

 

As for the brightness, yes it is up to maximum but it still goes down a decent amount even when the screen isn't on

Do you know what screen technology your phone uses? some are more power hungry than others.

Ryzen 7 3700X

Aorus GTX 1080ti

G.Skill TridentZ 3200MHz 2x8GB

Corsair SFX 750W

Phanteks Evolve Shift Air (glass front)

2x Corsair Force GS 120GB SSD (RAID 0)

Try turning the brightness down, or enabling automatic brightness adjustment. If you tap on "Screen" under the battery overview page, what does it say for screen on time?

I don't have this issue with my phone. Usually get 2 days out of mine. I usually keep the brightness quite low.

 

Maybe try turning on stamina mode.

Its a Z1C, think it uses a LCD?

Hi,

can you tap on the graph? It should give you a more detailed view, take a screenshot of that and post it here, I may be able to help you.

Here is a screenshot of it

Hopefully it'll help

Well what I see from that is, your phone is sometimes awake when the screen is off, meaning some app is eating CPU while screen off. Also can you confirm that the screen on time is accurate?

 

I'm not sure what could be doing that, I use a 3rd party launcher, keyboard and messaging app but that's only Google's keyboard & launcher and Textra messaging, could they be using the CPU?

It could possibly be that I have a wearable? Razer Nabu X

3h 20min of SOT sounds about right for a Z1C especially if you do some more battery draining activities like browsing on LTE and playing games.

That's normal. Just cause screen is off doesn't mean that it will always go right into deep sleep. As long as there isn't a wakelock (device is awake all the time) then awake time shouldn't be that much of an issue.

I'm not sure what could be turning the screen on, It may just be that the apps for my wearable are draining the battery more than I would like
