Mate 8 Battery Life Thread - Mate 8 General

How's everyone doing as far as battery life? I didn't charge my phone last night after using it moderately during the day and night. I used it moderately-heavy today. I got 7 hours 57 minutes of screen on time. When I use the phone during the day I leave it on 100% screen brightness. When I lay down in bed I put the brightness at around 25%. I always leave the phone on Performance. I'm sure I can do better, but let's have a contest here to see who can squeeze the most battery life out of this device. This battery lasts a long time in the Mate 8, i'm loving it.

2 days on mobileb data and wifi
SOT : 7 hr. 54 min 40 s.
7% before I am charging

i usually get anywhere between 10-12h SOT
screen is on auto, energy mode is optimized, manually switched cpu governor to powersave via trickster mod. worst case scenario is 10h SOT when playing games, best case around 12h without gaming

Can you screen shot of "manually switched cpu governor to powersave via trickster mod" to me ?
trickster mod is working in our device and kernel. Is it stable after reboot ?

It is difference between wifi and mobile data.On wifi we can on many SOT than mobile data.

I know, that is why I asked only wifi or flight mode. I think in normal usage like 60:40 or 70:30 mobile data wifi, I can't believe, we can reach this sot with mixed usage and gaming.

haha sure, ill provide screenies next time my battery goes near empty

First charge after a clean flash, 46h on battery with bt, wifi and 4g always on.
~ 10h music, sd, bluetooth
~ 1:30h hd video, sd, bluetooth
~ 7h flight mode
~ 5h connected to wifi with light usage all the rest 4g
Normal usage with Facebook (now deleted, to try Slim social in terms of battery life) Whatsapp, Tapatalk, gReader, google app, play store and some others stuff. With my previous note 3 and 4 never reached this time. Love this beast

Down to 4% with 8:52h sot

9-10 hours SOT is common for me without any gaming. If I switch fully to wifi I could get up to 12 hours. I am very happy with the battery life

with 1h and a half of games

I wanted to have at least a weeks worth of testing, with cell data activated, in order to give my perspective.
Hands down, this is the best performing and battery saving device I have ever used. It's really no contest. According to GSAM Battery Monitor Pro, my averages are 1.5 days screen on time and 2 days total battery life per full charge! Only thing that I've been doing, at night, that I'm planning on testing otherwise, is turning on Ultra Power Saver mode, before going to sleep.
I am running on Performance battery mode during the day, while accomplishing the above stats. I'll see how it does tonight, when I don't turn on ultra power saving, but I'd imagine I could still make it 24 hours easily, without needing a full recharge.

i leave it on smart mode but turn on airplane mode, that way im only using anywhere between 0-3% overnight so with ultra mode it should be in the range of 0-1%

It seems that enabling double tap to wake drains significantly more battery. My Android System usage after enabling it was at 25% today and I only have 4 hours of screen on time and my battery is down to 22%. I was also getting random black screens when trying to unlock until I disabled it. This is why Huawei didn't enable it on the Mate 8. The same issue happened with my Mediapad X2 and it took about 5 updates to get it working properly. I'm sure in the future it will be enabled and working well.

On my ex Huawei Honor 6 Plus 5.5" w/ Lollipop the DTW doesn't use any significant battery power, and that phone has a Kirin 925 processor, so there is no apparent reasons why on Mate 8 it should use more power.
I too hope that the currently observed battery drain was caused by a not yet complete and correct implementation of this functionality...

I might try Smart mode tonight. Ultra battery mode, while the device barely drains between 0-1% for me, it does seem to undo some of the defaults I have set, like taking Messenger off as my default text messaging app.

Please help me!
My battery is drain and I don't know how to fix it.
The problem is caused by Android System and SO Android.
Yesterday I had wipe data, wipe partition, clean all Android Services cache but thw proble continues.
Please help [emoji17]

In reading the first part of your statement, I thought there was a double tap to wake funciton that I didn't see anywhere and might have overlooked. But after reading thoroughly through, I actually love the fingerprint sensor on the Mate 8, which wakes the phone. What I did/do, and it's similar to what I've done in my devices for the past 4 years, is use Widgetlocker in addition to the fingerprint sensor. That way, when I wake the phone with my fingerprint, there's still a lockscreen that prevents unnecessary touches, prior for me needing to do whatever I have to do on my phone. Only quirk of using Widgetlocker on the Mate 8 is that I can seem to figure out how to fix the settings, so it will allow me to edit my lockscreen. My workaround has been to create/edit the lockscreen on one of my phones, and then use Pushbullet to send over the backup.
Anyhow, just wanted to share my 2 cents, although it would be really nice to have the double tap to wake. I do have double tap for "screen lock", courtesy of Nova Launcher. I linked the double-tap function (gesture in Nova Launcher settings) to the "screen off" app. I'm not sure if that is a stock Huawei app or if it's a stock Marshmallow function, but it was pre-loaded on my Mate 8 and it works perfectly! Only down side is that it only works on the homescreens (which, I think is the same way it works on LG phones), but it is awesome to not have to hit the power button to put the phone in standby.

Battry
My phone's battery consumption on Android system. Consumption is always at the top. Night from 12 pm to 6 am about 6 percent of consumption. Mate 7 nights before I was 1%. I feel like Mate 7 is not strong consumption and high phone battery, update firmware, I still was not 185 b103. Excuse my English is not good.
ایرانی های عزیز اگه هستند کمک کنن

At my phone the bigger consumption is from android system on which the app with the most milliamps is the settings... LOL wtf? Second consumption is on hardware phone calls and then SOT... How is that even possible?

Poor Battery Life on my ZTE Axon 7.

I have very poor Battery Life on my new phone. Last night I factory reset the phone and at 11pm I fully charged the phone and left it in airplane mode. This morning it reported 58% by 7am this morning.
It's much worse in daytime light usage. It's flat after about 4hours.
I have noticed that the WiFi and AWAKE history graphs in battery section show WiFi always on and phone is always awake. Even when the WiFi is switched off it is always ON according to the graph. The phone is constantly warm all the time. I have contacted the UK supplier. Awaiting response.

I see no such option on the Axon 7.
This probably depends on phone manufacturer, try find menu or more in Wi-Fi options, most of Android 4/5 usually have this option, sorry I'm only potential buyer of A7
---------- Post added at 14:18 ---------- Previous post was at 13:56 ----------
Sorry, ZTE Axon 7 doesn't have option "Scanning always available"(User Manual page 57), Older ZTE Axon it has (User Manual page 53).
There is an option to turn Wi-Fi off when asleep in the Wi-Fi advanced options menu. Might be worth trying.

Sounds like this is a settings issue, not zte or the phone.
This battery drain is obviously the result of a wakelock. Adjusting WiFi settings will not solve your problem.
Have you checked the 'fast battery drain apps' in power manager. Mines not liking Amazon music and the Android central app.

The wake lock issue is most likely this scenario in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=68001359
I've improved my awake stats and battery range since following the reboot after unplugging advice in that thread.
I'm still researching the always on WiFi graph under settings >battery.

Download the Battery Monitor Widget App. It can monitor everything about your battery very accurately. Even your SOT stats.
Fully charged up my UK axon 7 phone this morning. I powered it up at 7.35am it was totally flat by 12midday. I had factory reset phone and not installed any apps. I only had data switched on via sim. GPS, WiFi and low power mode on. Used it very sparingly and it went flat.

I think that is an issue, however I am still not getting the battery life reviews have been getting....
The first few reviews talked about amazing battery life with SOT of 6+ hrs on this phone but in my opinion it is worse than the OnePlus 3 I used for a few days. Yesterday I got just under 4 hrs of screen on time, taking my phone off the charger at 6:30am and plugging it in at 11pm with about 4% battery left. I am using GSAM Battery Monitor and Phone Radio is taking a solid 37% of my battery, is that normal? The phone does show it has a weaker signal than any of my last phones in all familiar locations but I haven't actually noticed a difference in internet speed (actually getting 40mb pretty regularly) or call quality/reception. Today I am at 63% battery with the phone being unplugged 10 hrs 47 min and only 1hr and 16 minutes of SOT. No apps stand out as using a lot of the battery with App Usage being at 1%.

What those 6+ hrs SOT stories don't tell you is that they gimp the phone ie turn off most if not all background processes such as: location, push emails, anything that has a hook to the web.
I mean I can always get 5+hour turning off all my smartphone services and just having my screen on to flipping around looking at locally stored stuff.
An average best for me is usually going to bed with 4+ hrs of SOT by midnight. @15% remaining and that was before the wake lock I mentioned above.

Yeah I was right at 4 hours SOT at 1am with the phone unplugged since 6:30am that morning and still 22% battery left, that is fine for me. I had everything on, including GPS, Bluetooth and Wifi

That setting is here:
Settings > Location > (menu - three dots in upper right corner) > Scanning
From here you can disable Wi-Fi Scanning and Bluetooth Scanning.
I do not know if this helps battery life though - I just now tried it myself.
Yeah I get horrible battery life too and it doesn't show any apps using alot ): , if I'm lucky I get 4hr sot

How is 4 hours horrible? 4 to 5 hours is really good battery and is a standard for any flagship device.
I don't get people that want 6 hours of screen time. Don't y'all have anything to do through the day? Spending 6 hours a day staring at a screen cant be good for anyone.

I guess I got spoiled with battery life on my old Huawei mate 8 and other phones with amazing battery.
I've been getting over 5 hours SOT pretty consistently for the past week. The battery life is way more consistent than my Nexus 6p was, and seems to last noticeably longer. I also don't worry about topping up when I get home from work if I really need to (or if I watch YouTube for 3 hours after I get home) because of how fast it charges, even if you use while charging. I'm very pleased with battery life overall.

Debloated S8 battery life

How much battery you get when you debloat S8?
Manage open apps
Start up apps
Black Theme
Blackish Wallpaper
etc etc
basic advance user battery settings
I want to buy S8 but 2 things hold me back.
Drop it (with a good case) and brake the screen.
Battery life after debloating with all the advance user battery tweaks.
I usually charge my phone when it gets to about 40% but the few times I did get down to 15% I was around 6.5 hours to 7 hours SOT; that's with Bluetooth, GPS, quad HD, AOD on at all times. Sync, wifi is off.
This phone is fragile. I have a very protective case on it but no case will protect the phone if you're not cognizant with your phone. Don't drop it.

No it's not. My S8 keeps up with my 3t. My note 4 had terrible battery life with 3 hours SoT. If you need more, you need another category of phones. All flagships get you between 5 and 8 hours of screen time. How long this is in total useage depends on you. I get two solid days out of my s8.
Much better after debloats.
In Idle (aod off): 3hrs/1%
Idle Aod on: 45min/1%
Facebook/web browseing: about 7min/1%
Screen on but not heavy load: 13min/1%
Easy to pass 8hrs or 9hrs (may be 10) Sot on daily use, this phone battery is really incredible
Ps: I used dual sim so phone radio drain battery little more than normal

Im sorry but 9-10 hours SOT is impossible unless you have samsung s8+ version. With regular this is impossible. 10% per hour with wifi on is almost impossible. How the hell did u managed that - i could get 7 hours maybe 8 tops with movie playback mostly with no internet connection and minimum brightness. and i dont have drains i already disabled thoes bloats

Still i just tested video movie. Wifi, bluettooth off - only cell reception 2 bars .
Brightness set on 20-25% , powersaving middle ON- it took 7-8 minutes for 1 % of battery. This means ONLY under sthoes conditions, screen on time would give 10-11 hours - meaning turn wifi on, brightness on little higher level u get 8 hours then. BUT if you start surfing the web and mixed use, u get 5-6 hours tops!!!!
If you looked under batterylife of thoes screenshots who had 8 hours or so - they didnt use phone much in browsing or video playback - they prolly just had screen on too test and brag about batterylife.!!! Unless they are lying about having regular s8 instead of s8+ wich does have little longer battery life then s8 , despite bigger screen
I debloated most stuff with Package DIsabler.
I get 5 hours SOT... Just as I did prior to debloating.
All things on, nothing important turned off (such as location)

All things I did is browsing mate, facebook. Plus 15mins of videos calling by Line everyday(and Line eat battery so badly ^^). So it is true, daily uses, wifi is always on, brightness is auto. I love AOD feature, this is why I tried so many Roms/kernel to make it longer

Also after u disabled this, how much system ram u have available in background AFTER u close all aplications in multitab.
U said 5 hours SOT - i do get more then that when not using wifi much and more of video playback - i did notest also that if you disable a lotmof bloatware, dosent improved battery life much.
But Dkido guy above, i guess you did managed too get this cause of you using DIFFERENT ROM. maybe this is the case here?!

Yah, it will a little more time to consider all. Maybe in next morning I will write more. But as fast review I findout a little bit. For example you want to disable Samsung location, you should disable 4 package:
+ app/slocation
+ priv-app/radiolocationservice
+ priv-app/radiolocationmanager
+ priv-app/samsunglocationsdk (sorry if i dont remember exactly the name)

Screen on time

It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the Nokia 8 before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
6 hours SOT from under 100% to 20% on first full charge WOW!
Thankfully battery on Oreo seems on par
Can't complain about that. Twice what my HTC 10 would usually manage. :good:
It just keeps getting better and better. Release Oreo already
thanks all for posting the results .. i might get one
Basing off accubattery app in playstore, sot is at 6hr 55m. For a 3090 mha batt, its remarkable already.
I get around 8 hours on 7.1.1, nearly as good as my Moto G5 Plus (which has a slightly smaller battery)
LTE on Location on sync on
Very good performance

Got 7:22 at 20%, this was all on wifi at home but with LTE on. Lots of installing/configuring apps, a bit of GPS/ingress, lots of twitter/web browsing/etc.
I'm getting about 4- 4 1/2 hours on LTE.
WIFI on, but not connected,
Bluetooth connected to hands free.
About 30-45 minutes of calls.
Skype, whatsapp, hangouts running in background.
Playing some games.
Loads of driving, so signal changes all the time.
Edit:it looks like SoT is getting better after few more day.
Now I'm getting over 6 hours in exactly the same conditions.
These are my best numbers. I noticed that phone calls and camera are the most draining apps. Usually I don't play games, sometimes async multiplayer games like Scrabble or similar.
Wifi ON if a network is avaliable
Bluetooth always ON (FitBit)
LTE enabled

I'm getting a maximum of 4 hours SOT with 8.1 beta. Sometimes I get less. However, it doesn't appear to be the display that's the problem. Hopefully 8.1 stable arrives soon and resolves the issue.
This yesterday, after two day. Obviously Android 8.1 beta

This is mine. I hope the battery isn't faulty.
Edit: System used 27%. Wake locks?

Screen on time

It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the Huawei P20 before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
3 days in and getting an average of around 6-7 SOT.
Same as my Pixel 2 ?
If u have the p20 than can u tell me does it supports HDR videos? Thanks

Pretty much the same as with my Huawei P9, it lasts a day, maybe a day and a half. And on average the screen on time is about 4 hours... Wifi is on when I'm home, and mobile data is on when i'm out. Screen brightness always on auto.

About the same here. Battery life is decent, not great.
5-6 hours SoT here
I get an average of 4hours. Cpu is more power hungry than a snaodragon 835 with a 3000mah battery having the same usage pattern.
4 hours screen on time with 5% left on the end of a day
LTE always on, wi-fi always on, nfc always on
battery not great but phone should last to the end of a day. hope huawei is now adding better batteries than it did in nexus 6p where batteries were destroyed after a one year of usage.
Weird. I'm getting a regular 6 hours SOT. Turn off auto brightness, i watched a review saying it consumes a lot of power.

Yeah, I kind of expected better SOT, but I can get by with the around 4h I currently get. Wouldn't mind having 6h, though. I'll switch auto brightness OFF and see how that affects things.
Between 7-8 hours sot plus about 2 hours of music streaming over Bluetooth with screen off for me with over 2 days usage. One of the best phones I ever had. Bluetooth on and connected to Garmin. WiFi and data always on. Automatic screen brightness activated. Few settings adjustments in order to increase sot but nothing really aggressive. I'm on B120 C782 model.

Google play store turned off automatic updates. I just check every few days if updates are available. Turned off remotely find my device under Google settings/ security. This causing a lot off wakelocks. This is completely useless option. In the case of device being stolen, bypass frp lock and flash new software is so easy just now so I think it's really pointless to keep it on. Google chrome/ data saver on. ....and under developers options all animations, windows transitions are off. Theme changed for theme from mate 10 Porsche edition. IThat's it. The rest is completely stock. Facebook and messenger apps installed. .... I don't play any games if that's makes any difference.
I get just around 5 or 6 SOT. I was hoping for more. It was the first discharge from 100%. Do you guys think is gonna improve or should I give it a factory reset?
By the way. I managed to get up to 47C cpu temp while playing games
5hrs SOT on avg. have had it for less than a week so going to monitor some more before I conclude on its efficiency.
Can anyone Pls report about screen on time? The device got updates, is it possible to get an average time of about 5-6 hours? Some reviews says the battery is bad, some say the battery is excellence...
Thanks and regards
Nobody any experience about average screen one time?
3-6h SOT on stock b164, rooted, depending on usage.
I get about 4 hours sot. Was hoping for more...im a little bit disappointed. Should I do a factory reset after updating to newest firmware 164? I'm not sure if since updating to 164 battery life has been getting more worse.

s10 plus Battery draining

Ehy everyone, for some reason it feels to me that my battery life on my s10 plus sucks.
I got it 2 weeks ago.
I did a test and charged up to 100%, went to sleep with 100% and woke up with 93% battery..
In addition to that, my previous phone Galaxy a7 2017, could hold on 100% like 5 minutes even when using the phone, my s10 plus goes from 100 to 96 in like few mintues..
I added a screenshot from my battery usage
And cpu usage
Oh and btw, ive read about the Voip battery drain but i dont do any whatsapp calls or such..
Any help?
I put mine on airplane mode at 50% before bed wake up its 49% , I've found I get better battery life from quick hrs or so charge rather than charging through the night , also it learns your charging habits apparently , but that's a big drain poss a app is root cause do you put on airplane mode at night ?

Did you do a restore your data from a backup?
There are users reporting that restoring from SmartSwitch or Google backup can affect battery life, there is a really nice thread called battery optimisation guide you should give it a look

My phone used to be the same way, I disabled the auto optimization, that seemed to do the trick. Go to device care and hit the three settings buttons and turn it off. Huge difference.

Guys please follow this guide

Your phone should work like a charm, those devices should behave a certain way, either it is a bug or something you might be doing wrong or an app setting coming from a backup restoration.
It is a voip call, google a little. I had deep sleep for 7 days, yesterday i made a call, and since then phone didnt go to deep sleepz so i restarted it and now it is as before... It is fixed in march update. Buying a phone that costs 1000+ $ and turning 50% of options off is ridiculous.

Thats what i thought, how can i pay so much money for a phone ans turn everything off because it consumes the battery..
Hope it will get fixed
I did return my unit because of idle battery drain, for 1k price, no thanks...

Mine was poor but after 5 days did pick up. Had to change some settings. However, I can't put a picture on as says this feature has been disabled by your administrator. Xda app

The latest firmware update solve the VoIP CPU-lock issue. But i am still experiencing mild battery drain, when i sleep with 100% batt, i closed all apps and cleared them from the ram and still get 93% when i wake up after 8hours of idle time. No idea how to solve this, checked the CPU its on "sleep/idle" mode the entire 8hours but somehow -7% battery.
I turned off VoIP, location and put the phone to medium power saving mode. It got better.
Edit: I am not having any performance issues with medium battery saving. %70 brightness, limited CPU, FHD screen resolution.
