P Smart double touch feature - Huawei P Smart Questions & Answers

Can the double touch feature, to turn screen on or off, cause battery drain?
It is available at smart assistance/motion control/double touch.

In theory (I guess) it should (slightly) - in practice though: over the span of (exactly) an hour (featuring 60 unlocks) I didn't notice any difference in battery drain (compared to 60 unlocks in 1h using the power button only) with a fully charged device.
For the record: fresh booted device (same apps running), just unlocked the device and immediately turned the screen off again with no interaction.

I have it always enable no battery drain here...

Hi, I just bought the P Smart2019 and I can't find the Double Touch in:
Smart Assistance --> Motion Control.
I only have:

Is the advertised battery life correct ... because i cant seem to get anywhere close to the standby stated hours. Is standby mode equal to shutting off your magician [ie. red button on right side]?
Anyways, with the screen on, but the backlight off, i can only get roughly 5-6 according to my battery indicator [battery pack pro]. Its even less if i use the pocket pc to play music
Just wondering if this is the norm, or should I try to get a new battery? Any tips to conserve precious battery life ... aside from dimming backlights?[/quote]
standy times are always absolute BS, no matter what phone they're plastered to :wink:
mine gets about 2 days use with few calls, about an hr of mp3s and perhaps an episode of the chaser's war on everything.

damn, thats awesome.
(1) You just using the main battery? or do you also use the backup internal battery as well?
(2) How frequently are you charging? I mean, do you wait till you battery is low after 2 days to charge? or are you charging it every so often during those 2 days of use?
(3) What kind of battery indicator software or program are you using [if not the one already installed in settings/system/battery]?
(4) Do you leave your screen off or on when you arent using it?
...mine: 9 hrs. wmplayer playing with screen off and 1½ hrs internet browsing; standby? why should i?
Now i bought a 2400 mAh battery instead off 1200 and indeed it's doubled now...
(1) which backup internal battery?
(2) i'm charching as soon as it's below 10%
(3) i use batterymemstatus including overclock
(4) i prefer shutting off the screen especially to prevent touching any button by accident...

1: Just the main battery, the standard 1200mAH that comes with the Mini. btw you can't actually 'use' the internal backup battery - thats just there to prevent the data in your main memory from being wiped out if your main battery goes dry!
2: I usually charge when the battery drops below 20% (ie. the first 'low battery' warning) as if it drops below 10% then certain functions are disabled (accessing your SD card for example )
3: Resco Today Plugin, comes bundled with Resco Explorer. It uses the built-in battery monitor anyway, like most today screen battery monitor plugins.
4: Off. Backlight switches off after 30s of inactivity, screen off after 3 minutes, but I usually press the power button before I slip it back into my pocket.
I use PocketMusic for mp3s, which switches the screen off automatically after 30s (but still keeps playing!), and TCPMP for video - my videos are all encoded in XviD, which requires significantly less processing power than WMV (in TCPMP anyway) while keeping a good compression ratio, meaning less battery drain.
By the way! Make sure that in Settings > Connections > Beam that your PPC isn't set to recieve incoming beams... that can have a noticeable effect on battery life.
This weekend, when my battery got below the 25% mark after a long time of keeping it always between 40 and 100%, I noticed that my device suddenly went black while playing Sudoku.
After 1 minute I could switch it back on, presenting the boot screen. No data was lost. However, as soon as it gets to log on to the cell network, it would shut off again. I had to charge it to at least 30% to be able to get a cell connection again.
Would this be a sign of a dying battery?
Unfortunately yes, it's the start of the death spiral. :?
Mine was worst; my Mini would shut off suddenly at around the 40% level. Upon closer examination of the battery it appears a little bloated in the centre, so I guess all that accumulated heat from charging did kill my battery eventually.
I changed a new battery a few months back and could now go as low as 3% before the device shuts off.

Hey Krinkiespijer,
Where did you get hold of the 2400 mAh battery? Are they expensive?
Cheers,
James
I would bet ebay. ebay.com.au used to be swarming with 2400mAH batteries but they seem to have disappeared .
They are a bit pricey, but I still see a couple of them in ebay. But remember that they're quite large and your Magician wont fit into the stock case.
Also, try tools such as Pocket Hack Master which allow you to underclock the CPU, consuming less power. You can also use em to set CPU speed based on process usage.

WM 6.1, SPB mobile shell and battery drain !

Hi to all of you,
I am using the SPB mobile shell 2.0 (http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/mobileshell/?en) on my official WM6 HTC touch cruise and see a hughe battery drain problem !
Can anyone tell me if this battery drain also occurs using WM 6.1 rom?
Thanks a lot for your help!
Dag
No battery problem on my Cruise (bepe 0.58, SPB Mobile Shell 2.0, 3G).
how long last your battery please?
mine last 2days max is it normal or not?
thx
2 days is pretty much OK under normal use of the phone with some calls, 20 min WiFi and 10 min GPS. Also depends on how much you play around with the phone. The display sucks a lot of power
With a clean fresh install (hard reset) my battery goes to 0% WITHOUT USING THE PHONE in 48 hours !!
DO you find it normal as well?
With SPB mobile shell installed it is even quicker (about 36 hours) !
Dag
Try to use "Advanced Configuration Tool" to enable:
- SD Memory power managment
- AsyncMac1 power managment
- PPTP1 power managment
- L2TP1 power managment
Alo problems may be usage of 3G connection or Push Email
I use WM6.1 bepe .58 and Mobile Shell 2 and have no battery drain problem.

Your TC possibly is defective ..... ( or your battery ) ..
With Black Widow Skinny wm6.1 & SPB mob. Shell v2 my TC lasts for 2.5 days.
(medium use of phone, wifi & radio) ....
im also noticed power drain increased.im using battery status and monitoring cpu and power all the time. before installing spb ms 2.0 normal drain was 37-40 mah(light off),cpu 0-2, after install everything was ok,but next day power drain become around 90! nothing else changed. Uninstalled this nice thinny and back to normal.

I have done the same test using battery status and my measurements where: lights off 31-48 mA (avg: 33 mA) and with full lights on: 120-135mA. I use spb shell 2 on WM6.1 for a week now and had no problems.. The battery usage depends on many factors. But two days while phone is in suspend mode is not good.

Dear Uni, 33mA means that your battery lasts for 1350/33 = 40.91 Hours.
Less than 2 days.....
With 120 mA current flow your battery lasts for 1350 / 120 = 11.25 Hours ...
If your cell provider has no good signal in your area, then
current flow is about 60 - 70 mA . Your battery lasts for 1360 / 65 = 20.76 Hours ...
So you realize that power consumption depends on many factors ....

40.91 hours while mobile is continuously is on (with backlight turned off) I think it’s pretty good! Also the reception is less that 50%...
Do you mean 60-70mA while device is in suspend mode? or with display on without backlight?

60-70 mA while display is on & backlight at level 4/10 .... mobile reception 0-1/4 bars.
I'd like to say that power consumption depends on many factors ....
My experience with mobile shell would suggest that you look at the weather options, particularly at the download of weather maps. These maps are large downloads which keep the HSDPA engaged and busy. If you are seeing the 'H' symbol connected then your TC is actively downloading. I found the battery drain to be corrected by not selecting the option to automatically download weather maps. (perhaps this applies to your experience)
Well, i'm getting about 4-5 days worth. In these days: 20mins calls, some sms'ing, WiFi 15mins, GPS 10mins, e-book reading 20mins.
Display at setting 2 (1-4: no BL to full BL), WiFi at medium performance and only switched on when i use it, hsdpa and BT switched off.
Are you guys having the same issue with the cooked 6.1 rom ???
Does 6.1 consume less power or is there no change between wm6 and wm6.1??
Dag
Hello,
I am using MossiROM V2.1 GER, also tried Touch V4.01 WM6.1 editions. My battery lasts only 1.5 days. I talk about 30 min, 15min WIFI daily. I also use SPB Shell 2.0.
I dunno but the battery seems to last better when I was using WM6.0.
But while in standby battery cunsomption seems to be 21mAH.
I using Bepe 0.66 ROM and have 75mA with 4/10 backlight, full GSM bar and nothing in background.
When I used GPS, calls and other stuff my device lived over 1 day from 100 to 4-5.
Just measured with BatteryStatus:
1. Standby (no light, power off) - 5 mA
2. Power On (light on 4/10, no BT, no WiFi, nothing) - 77 mA
3. Power On (the same but light off) - 65 mA
4. Call (full bar of GSM net) - 200-220 mA
5. GPS on (light, GPStest) - 200mA
UPDT.
On original O2 ROM I have follow result:
1. Standby (no light, power off) - 5 mA
2. Power On (light on 4/10, no BT, no WiFi, nothing) - 51-62 mA
3. Power On (the same but light off) - 33 mA
4. Call (full bar of GSM net) - 180-190 mA
4.1 Call (light off) - 163 mA
4.2 Call (light 0ff, sound) - 202 mA
4.3 Call (screen off, sound) - 140 mA
5. GPS on (light, GPStest) - 190mA
It mean, ROM from Bepe more suck battery.
UPDT2.
Test result of BlackWidow show the same result as original ROM.

Well, On a fresh install, all programs going (save for spb mobile shell (tried both 2.0 and 2.1)) i was getting about 40 hours. with spb mobile shell i was gettin 11-12. that's huge. i noticed shell32.exe is constantly running-doing what, i don't know. but i see a definite battery drain.
Take notice that when you are using any HTC device with SPB Mobile 2.0 or 2.1 and you are roaming the battery drain in fast Lasts only 6 or 7 hours with very low phone use.

[Guide] Radio power saving

Here is how I have set up my radios to save power .
First u need llama and secure settings app from play store both are free apps
Basically there is 2 parts. Refer to the screenshots
1) HTC Power Saver. This mode is under power saver not to be co fused with deep sleep mode .
The Power saver terminates data connection after the screen goes off for 15 minutes . Now we want this to immediately go off instead of waiting 15 minutes .
So this is how I have set it up
Open llama create a new event condition screen off action run a local plugin - secure settings - custom Rom actions - HTC Modes . Make sure it is enabled , press save and back to llama , save llama event
2) extreme power saver mode .
This is new mode in sense 6 roms
However this only works when the battery reaches a low percentage or u have to manually turn it on. Now we want this to turn on by itself after xxx minutes . In this case I have set it to 40 minutes .
So i have created another thread as this
For this pls refer here for the steps :

I have seen that Extreme power saver mode consumes more battery than normal mode. HTC have made a mess of extreme power saver mode in last update.

Hmm why do u say that.....
Which update and Rom are u talking about
Stock ROM Sense 6.0 4.4.2.
If I keep the phone in normal mode overnight battery drain is 0.6%/hour. Roughly it looses 4-5% overnight. I enabled extreme power saver mode couple of times before going to bed and both times I have seen my phone lost 10-11%.

I guess try app state disabled

**touchless sleep/wake control!! (app - gravity screen)**

Waking up a device involves the hassle of picking up our device, reaching for the power button, and then pressing it to turn the screen on.
However, using the gyrometer and proximity sensors, gravity screen wakes your device up right as you pick it up, or hover your finger over the proximity sensor!! Neat!
Pros :
Small and light-weight
Doesn't hog up on RAM
No appreciable effect on battery life!
Various options to tune the settings to your liking!
Helpful for devices with broken power buttons
Cons :
None. You say?
This app has been around for a while, and it works seamlessly with our device.
All credits to the developer Plexnor. It is his work. Be generous, and buy him a beer if you may.
Play store link :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.plexnor.gravityscreenofffree&hl=en
Here's a video on the same : :laugh::laugh:
https://youtu.be/NJ6kgaDIwCU
[APP][2.2+] Gravity Screen > Turn Screen On/Off Automatically - Keep Screen On
It doesn't seem to show up on the stock battery consumption screen but on BBS and Gsam, GravityScreen was consuming almost 7 to 12% battery per day.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I even turned off the wake by motion and all other accelerometer related services and kept only Proximity Screen On and Proximity Screen Off options ON.
Any suggestions?

same here...i have done all suggested tips...
[4] Q: I'm experiencing high battery usage, why?
A: The app should use about 6 percent extra energy per day if you are not using too much the Turn Screen On by Motion feature. If you frequently lay your phone face up on a table and the Turn Screen On by Motion Timeout is too long, the battery consumption can be much higher. Because the CPU has to be constantly analyzing the data of to acceleration sensor to catch the movement when you lift up the device. Thus if you want to reduce the battery usage it's recommended to keep your phone often lying face down when it's on a table. Because in this situation the proximity sensor is responsible for turning the screen back on which uses much less energy. Moreover, please, keep in mind that the android en-built battery consumption measurement can show much higher results, because it shows the battery usage relatively to another apps. If the phone was not in use or the measurement period was short, it looks like my app uses too much energy however there was not too much energy used all together.
Yes I frequently lay the phone face up for see the notification led....

Auto power saving in Nougat?

I can't find an automatic power saving option on my S7 Edge on Nougat for when the battery drops below a certain persentage (eg. 15% or 5%).
All I can find is just a notification (for 30%, 40% and 50%) that prompts me to "tap there" to enable power saving which then opens another window with power saving options, I need to tap one, it takes a dozen seconds for it to change the power profile.. it's a drag.
So I'm wondering if there's anything automatic for power saving (like in all Android phones since lollipop) or maybe I somehow turned it off?
My phone was on 13% battery and still didn't switch to power saving (just the notification to tap there to turn it on).
Same here. I also can not find the automatic power save setting on Galaxy S7 / Nougat. How lame if Samsung took default Android feature out.
I see power saving mode on mine just fine.

Quite rude when people are trying to help.
So here's is a partial answer to my question: there is automatic power saving, it kicks in at 5% battery.
Anybody found an option to raise that 5% to 15% or 20%?
I checked everything battery and power saving related in settings and couldn't find it...
Device Maintenance> Battery.>App power monitor. There you can choose the apps you want to set power saving for and choose "Save Power".
It is not exactly the same as in vanilla Nougat, but if you want vanilla, Samsung is the wrong device.

No, that's not at all what I'm asking or looking for.
I know about this list, it is also present in vanila android, and it is completely useless...
I'm looking for an option to set the automatic power saving mode to kick in on higher battery percentage (20% or 25% or 30%), basically anything above 5% what the default is.

Right!? It's weird that auto-power saving only kicks in at 5% battery, but then again the battery is pretty impressive.
I'm getting used to manually turning on the power saving mode and tweaking the brightness if needed.
Yesterday I achieved 9 hours of screen on time, manually tweaking the phone as the battery drained.
Maybe they forgot the option with the 30/40/50% notification to also activate medium power saving.. a simple toggle is missing there :/
I hope they add it in a future update...

Yes the battery is pretty impressive and maybe they'll fix it like you say, hopefully!
I've not been one for power saving settings before but I like how this works, except for the one bug I've noticed is annoying me slightly.
When turning off the power saving and the resolution changes back from FHD to WQHD my keyboard (SwiftKey) size changes to really small so I have to adjust it each time; not sure if it's a bug or because the resolution is changing.
Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
Yes, it looks like they have added a short way to reach the power saving setting screen, but avoid an automatic activation of the mode, rather then at 5%.
To activate it easily and using that fast activation, you have to wait until you get a notification for low battery, then click on the notification and select manually MID or MAX.
I just loved the old fashion automatic power saving....
I noticed the same right after updating. It is extremely annoying. It's frustrating when useful options which used to exist are removed. "Updating" is meant to make stuff better after all...
I liked the 2 power saving options before the update. One decreased performance a little & my screen didn't change. It was a little slower and not as bright. It was perfect and it's gone. The other was Ultra Power Saving. Apps were very limited. It was great when I was in a crunch & couldn't charge it right away. The new "improved" Power Saving is horrible & I hate it!
Updated my S7 to Nougat, couple days and regretting the decision more and more everyday. Yesterday I've noticed hey I'm at 10% and not in power saving mode like why? Oh we thought it be great idea to kick in power saving mode automatically only at 5%.....
There is suppose to be a Battery Saver option that lets you choose between 15% or 5% when to automatically kick in power saver mode. But apparently Samsung removed this option?
Yes, I also hate this change...
If anyone has a link to a petition or something please post it. I used to go powersaving at 50% and kept my phone topped off, I hate even seeing 2x%.
And I dont see an ultra saving mode, you basically flip the customization options each time? I understand the concept -- but we all like to have the phone at full-everything at least for the glorious first 10% after charge.
Then OK for the next 40%.
Then frugal mode kicks in. Being frugal all the time is just no fun.
S7 user here, the same thing happened with android 7.0 update. Really miss the auto power saving feature... I had set it to kick in at 20% and it was what I needed to have my battery last for a whole day. Now with Nugat update the battery doesn't hold for whole day anymore because of this, what a shame!
So there is no option to set it to say extreme power saving when battery drops below 10 % ?
Nope
