Standby drain - Huawei P30 Real Life Review

Very good, comparable to clean Android. Unfortunately it kills background apps that you want to run, lik Google photos wi fi back ups.
I get about 0.6 percent per hour overnight with wi fi and location on.

Everyone should come to appreciate this amazing phone. I had OnePlus. Sony, Samsung etc., all rooted, with trick ROM's, with trick kernels, and everything which the XDA community so generously makes available to users. No phone has ever come close to my P30 for battery, efficiency, smoothness, camera which about sums up what a mobile phone does.
With a light "debloating" (using only ADB), careful use of "Blokada" and "Naptime", without losing or disabling ANY function of the phone except "Health" and "Home" which I do not need, I have 0% drain overnight. If WiFi is on, which I do not need while I am asleep anyway, drain climbs to 2 maybe 3% maximum (the culprit is "sync" I think). This is for 8 to 10 hours (I am old, I need my sleep!), not per hour.
Edit 21 November 2020: Last night I unplugged my phone at 96% and took it to the bedroom. Put it on the stand and went to sleep. I picked it up this morning, a little before noon. No "aeroplane" mode, no wifi or data; but the phone was on -- if anyone rang or messaged me, which is what I need. You can see the screenshots at the end of this message.
P.S. As I noted elsewhere, the app which seems to consume most battery is "com.huawei.hwid", which is Huawei's identity check etc. I found that everything works as well without this app and I have uninstalled it. For more details check the "Bloatware" thread.
P.P.S. I think Huawei has hit on the head with this one. Well done, Huawei! (No, I m not working for Huawei, nor do I want to work for said company; but the truth has to be told.)

There are days when I had experienced close to 40% baterry drain (I don't use wifi) . On an average 10 to 15% drainage happens. Will double check this.
I have stopped using all good to have sensors and software features so that battery drainage is reduced. Hoping future software updates makes battery usage efficient.
Have managed to get satisfactory performance from battery now but at the cost of disabling Bixby, always on display and many sensor driven features including face unlock
No battery drain at all get 9 hours screen time on!
Sent from my SM-A730F using xda premium
I have observed Battery drain before as well as after Oreo update on Samsung A8+.
From 12 midnight to 6 AM, I have observed at least 7-8% drop in battery level. It also happens even if phone is in battery saver mode. At this time my phone is in Do Not Disturd mode and AOD is also disabled. Any solution for this issue?
My earlier handset Moto Z Play was dropping only 1% at night for same duration.
This what I got for about 7 hours

I've heard really bad things about standby drain with this phone -- gsmarena's review indicates it's really horrible.
Can anyone with the phone elaborate on how it is?

I charge my phone during the night and remove it from the charger when I wake up during the night (usually at 3am). After that it's just laying around until about 10am(weekend) and if I pick it up it usually has 99 or 100%(wifi and Bluetooth enabled all the time). Of course there is more drain if you are on mobile data but you will have enough juice for one day for sure. I'm currently on 5,5h SOT with 22% left. Phone has not seen a charger for 13h and 34min, I had wifi for 10h and no time without signal
Well, after I disabled gallery sync, standby is really good. ~1%/hr which is for me perfectly fine

You are right, forgot to tell that, that mi sync stuff drained the battery a lot
(Test done with sync disabled)
During my sleep time (11PM-8AM - airplane mode active) it lose around 1% every two hours.
Else it lose around 1% every hour.
I'm currently at 86% of battery after doing 45~60 minutes of internet (estimated at 3% of battery use) and 15 hours and a half since last charge

I left my phone uncharged with 42 percent of battery, after 8 hours of sleep, it's still 42 percent tho. If I'll rate the battery by 1-10, I'll rate it 10 out of 10!
Left my phone overnight just lying there : in the morning it had shut itself down. Battery = 0
Cheers

Mine went from 98% to 93% while being in airplane mode for 10 hours last night. It used to be better with Oreo I think.

Have you left the smart(not sure what it's called offhand) WiFi enabled?
After a few weeks running the beta version and now running the december update battery life has vastly improved, it only drops 2% overnight without using airplane mode.

Try turning on Airplane mode, Battery saver and Adaptive battery. Idk what's Wind Down tho but the grayscale seems to save the battery on Android Pie.

It's turned on by default (on mine anyway).
I often forget to turn wi fi off but it has never caused any battery drain. The phone consumers no more than 1% during 8 hours of standby every night. This phone is cheap but it's battery is amazing

Those who are facing battery issues can do the following:
1. Disable auto syncing
2. Disable auto wifi scanning
3. Disable "mobile data always on" in developers menu
4. Delete some unneeded apps using adb commands. In particular, RCSService (uceShimService), PAI, Spock, Carrier Services, Feedback and some google bloatware. deleting them via ADB won't affect system partitions and won't affect OTA in any way.

Is that 1% nightly loss with (or without) the measures you describe in 1-5 above?
Since the Pie update, mine is consistently losing about 1% per hour (25% per day) just doing (apparently) nothing (few apps installed to sync). I've tried switching off 4G data, WiFi, Location, but curiously that hardly makes any difference. I'm a bit disappointed in comparison to some older android devices that could go for weeks on standby. I can't make much sense of the percentage numbers in the "battery usage" settings as they don't seem to account for it all by any means. I suppose I can try full flight mode next (all radios off) and see how that affects it.

Sorry to hear you are having this. My phone would consume 4-5% before I did some digging and took the aforementioned measures. Now it only gets 1% (2% on rare occasions) overnight even after updating to Pie. However, SOT has taken a significant hit since the Pie update for to screen brightness being too dim when used below 30%. However there is still no problem with standby mode. Do you have D2W functionality? this might be affecting your battery life
Hello, I'm creating an account in order to give my real-life review of this phone. The previous phones I had were HTC One M8, LG G6.
Standby drain is excellent.
At night, I can loose 1 or 2 percent.
But, I have found that the drain is more important when Wi-Fi is turned on.
It only consumes 1% (7% Maximum when I leave WiFi/4G and location turned on) when on standby overnight. Typical for Android phones for me, which is a little bit disappointing considering that it is equipped with 4 Amperes battery.
To compare with, my previous phone (J500H with Bootleggers ROM) did surprisingly better for this, survived doing nothing for a week from 54% to 36% with WiFi turned on (when I just accidentally left it at home while I'm on vacation) and did drain 0-1% overnight doing nothing.
Phone went from 90% to almost shutdown overnight. Gsam reported netmgrd, ipa_ws prevented deep sleep, and Google Play Services have been using body motion sensor for the past 12 hours. I just posted my phone on eBay.
In the beginning battery life was great, close to 4 days. Three years later, it barely makes from morning (100% charged) to evening. Not even a full day....

With battery optimisation in semi-airplane mode (I can recive only calls), during the night it drains 0,8% per hours. It could be improved.
I took mine off at 1030pm at 100% and woke up at 530am and it was at 100%
I felt as if mine drained on standby quite quickly, then improved vastly after the .124 software update.
Before the update it was as if the phone drained at the same speed regardless of whether the phone was on standby or if i was using it.
It doesn't drain at all. Because NOTHING is left running. Which is ridiculous. There are tasks that I want to keep running for various reasons, and they are killed almost instantly. It seems like the phone doesn't support multitasking.
I get great battery and near no drain with screen off, I have a few apps exempted from being killed, I'm averaging 26 hours battery life with about 8.5 hrs screen on time.

What exactly is that you are using? I am struggling really badly with battery life so would like to give it a try.

That image is completely non ledgible. In any case, Ive also noticed Gallery and Themes keep running in the background under battery usage details, however if you check running apps in developer menu, they are not listed. So who is telling the truth?
Hello all. Well I got mine P30 pro yesterday. Was charged 100%. I wake up to test it.. because I read here about battery lol. And it was at 99%. Then used it off and on today. Right now 5pm 91%. LOVE THIS PHONE!

"The phone has an excellent standby time as well. In our PCMark battery drain test, the Redmi 9 Prime delivered close to 14 hours, which is pretty good"
in my opinion...not good (2days out of the box, before recharge )
But if you use the Miui guides "Remove ads" and "Tweak optimise battery life" found on the web
You can like me... get 4 days 9u if you do the work
with airplane modus enabled during night times.. even more
With root access... I should get 10+ days out of it...aka down clock unit during the night (but I'm waiting for miui 12 update)
cheers
This is my first Mediatek phone and considering the battery on this phone,the processor is very disappointing in this area. It's not MIUI as I'm using dotOS and it's not Google Play Services because I'm using microG. The drain is pretty egregious, and I have a Moto G7 Power to compare it to. My Moto G7 power is my daily driver and I can get 4 days out of a single charge even when listening to podcasts for 6 hours a day to compliment my work day.
On standby alone, the Xiaomi burns 30% in 10 hours. I burn this same amount on my Moto G7 Power while doing the activities listed above.
