ROG Power Saving Mode - Mate 8 General

Hello,
What do you think about ROG power saving mode which became available after B320 update?
I tried it for a couple of days but found out that it drains the battery faster! In fact after a full charge the battery manager told me that the battery can last 27 hours, and when I turned it off it showed that the battery can last up to 29 hours.

lol, thats odd... do u actually notice the lower resolution?

I only notice lower resolution in one app, the rest seems the same to me. But again, I don't have the sharpest eyes

That's weird I actually think it helps. I never really pay attention to the battery manager. But after heavy use with ROG on I get home from work with 52% left after a 9 hour work day. As far as noticing resolution I'm able to tell the difference because it looks the same as the huawei mate 2 with it enabled .

It lowers the resolution of everything. You can see it on the homescreen pretty easily. Not worth the quality loss for me personally, battery life is good enough.

Battery life has definitely been better.
Resolution reduction does help to get the cpu and graphics load reduction by about 30% and.this helps in smoother performance as well as better battery life.
My friends were unable to make out the resolution change although more.apps have distorted screen arrangements.
Happy with it

Thanks for the replies. I gave the ROG another try and I found out that it really saves the battery life a little.

This mode is great for gaming as the resolution drop in game is not that noticeable. Can definitely squeeze extra 1-2 hours depending on the game.

Yes, I too got the OTA on my 2 days old AL00C00 mate 9 this morning as well. Only have about 240 something MB to download and upgrade. Didn't have the phone long enough to tell what the difference is.
Nothing here. I am desperate. Specially with some annoying problems.

The update is now available on FunkyHuawei. See the FunkyHuawei thread, and you can update using eRecovery.
I'm running on B153 right now, but apart from the zoom, I don't notice any substantial upgrades from B137. Battery life still significantly worse than Mate 8

Battery life worse? I have 10 SOT whatever I do on Mate 9, navigate with maps and gps, Netflix, play YouTube, browse Internet, install updates... Which translates into 2 full days of battery life 5 SOT both. And that's pretty crazy if you spend 5 hours on your phone a day. I was only able to achieve same kind of battery life and SOT with my Xiaomi Mi Max with 4850MaH battery.

It's easy to get 10 SOT if you're using it for 10 hours in one day, but I notice a lot of battery drain when I'm not using it. For example, it will drain more than 1-2% an hour just receiving notifications and not being turned on very much.
It's absolutely a beast when it comes to marathon screen on time, but I'm more disappointed with the results as a light user. I probably have 30 minutes to one hour of screen on time per day, but the battery drain is generally over 20 percent despite that.

True, in Stock ROM of Mate 9 is not so well configured for light users, compared to OOB MIUI 8 on Mi Max, even in Battery Saver mode on. One have to tune it a bit. For example I do not need to sync my email and account all the time, so I have my sync period set to 1 hour, disabled autosync most time, I like to sync when I want to, few times a day when I actually have mail app open and have some spare time to read emails or browse social networks. Set most apps to autoclose on screen lock, disabled keyboard vibration and many other little things... I enable wifi/bt/nfc only when I need it. My Mate consumes 1-2% battery per 8 hours in standby or me sleeping, if I'm not using it. It's all about optimization of settings in order how you use your phone. Detailed battery information is always ones best friend in finding precious MaH top consumers, idle or not.

My mate 9 has amazing standby battery life but screen on time.. For example 2.30 hours and I lost 44 percent.. I lose my battery very fast when the screen is on... I've been testing my battery and I think it may be defected, many apps tell me I'm using a 3900 mAh and actual Is 3730

In meantime, while waiting OTA to spread over all Mate 9 devices, can you please post some quick samples how 10x zoom look like compared to original, 2x, 6x?

Newly bought S8 and a 4.5h battery life. Is is normal?

So I got my GS8 yesterday and this is the battery life I get with:
AOD off
No battery saving profile
Wifi on all the time
4G network but no data
Automatic brightness
No gaming, about an hour of video playback
Since I can't share outside links I'll just write the info here: (From 100% to 3%)
Last charged: 10h ago
Screen on time: 4 hours and 30 minutes (812mAh)
Android System: CPU total: 3 hours and 11 minutes (312mAh)
This is not even close to what I expected, do you think this is normal?
Normal. It's happened with both my S8 and my G6. Your battery life will get better in 3-5 days. Android is setting stuff up and optimizing battery life behind the scenes.
You bought it yesterday. Give it time to settle.
Also, turn off automatic Samsung cloud backup, it's on by default.

What did you expect from a 3000mah battery? It all depends how you use the phone, i can empty the battery in an hour if I want.
4.5h is more than respectable, if you want more lower the brightness and use a black theme.

It pretty much. Also depend on how many apps you installed. If you dont want it run much, add it to smart manager sleep list. My idle about 3hrs/1% man. This is my battery current round and apps list. About 10% wasted battery because I did clear davikcache a few times
This should be normal. with AOD on, my phone takes about 2% per hour, but when browsing webpages, every 1.5 hours costs about 10% of power, watching videos should take more. also, the 1080p and 2k resolution have notable differences. so it seems that the white-background screen cuts down most of battery life, i think.

hmm, i turned my phone as power-saving as possible - brightness is less than half of the bar, suspended all background apps, and FHD resolution. also, after some days of usage, the system should be able to auto balance the power consumption by sleeping some unused apps and some Samsung's system services maybe. so i don't think this is an issue.

Dont believe every sot someone posts here, i've seen a few 8 or 9 hour sot's but i'll bet the brightness was as dim as can be and they used a black theme. Or they were probably reading a book on the phone which uses no cpu at all or using the battery saving feature.
Your z1 also had a 3000mah battery, yet it had a smaller/dimmer screen, lower resolution, less ram, much slower cpu/gpu. How can you be complaining?

yeah, you're right, the AMOLED screen with high brightness and white color is the real battery killer. also BTW, does the 'sot' mean 'screen-on time'? sorry for my bad English...
Yup screen on time
4.5h is more than enough ! I am coming from a S6E+ it used to give me 2h SOT MAX ! Hated my life with it.
Do you plat Pokemon Go? I find a lot of people I see complaining about battery do, that game is very poorly optimized for battery consumption.

How's the screen look? And speed of the device? Hard to hold?
Exteremly perplexed. Out of the box this things battery was amazing on day 1.. 5 hours sot from 60pc to 20+. On day 4, just watching YouTube and scrolling on Instagram for 40 minutes the battery dropped 10pc! Disappointing for a 7nm chip and 5000mah. Ive been monitoring battery consumption and apps, which I haven't installed much. Projected to have 55 hours left on battery, 70 hours on saving and 230 hours on ultra. Do you guys think it's still calibrating?
Yeah, i think it's still calibrating... Remember to never charge your phone to 100% and never plug the charger when it like 1%... Always charge from 20% to 80% ... This will you will have a great battery life...
Excellent battery!

			
				
Can we get more posts with app usage? Showing SOT without what apps you use doesn't mean much
This phone is a beast.
With same configuration my Mate 9's best was 6+ hours SOT, Mate 10 pro was just about 7 hours.
Power saving mode off.
Auto brightness on except while on total darkness.
Double SIM cards from different providers active the whole time.
Walking and driving half of the day.
No WiFi at all except when I had to transfer a few GB of data to another phone via WiFi direct.
YouTube vanced active most of the time when screen was on plus a few hours while screen was off too. You can see I downloaded 1.4GB of data yesterday and that was mostly 240p video and last two hours 144p video.
I forgot to say I had Bluetooth on for more than 10 hours, and that's exactly how long time I was playing videos on YouTube vanced. Because I listen through the wireless earbuds.
Is anyone having shorter SOT post the emui9.1 update?
at least it's worse with me than with 9.0

OnePlus 7T, unlike the predecessor OnePlus 7, is
confirmed to have 90Hz refresh rate.
Hence, whoever is going to post SOT, do not forget to mention refresh rate used (90/60 Hz), screen resolution, "tweaks" and "measures" taken in settings etc. Also show full screenshots. Thanks.
GSMArena has given an endurance rating of only 84 hrs (90hz) & 89 hrs (60hz) which are not that great considering OP7 which had 102 hrs. I cant understand even at 60hz why so much difference compared to its predecessor?

Higher clock frequencies
So is there way to underclock to 855 rates and get about 100+ hour battery endurance ? It's big hearthbreak for me these battery stats, still better than my HTC U11, I get around 3.5-4 hours screen on time. Device 2 years old.
Not sure it'll compare to my OnePlus 5 record
Of 14 hours 40 something minutes in one charge
But I think 10 hours should be possible.
Here's my old thread, I always requested proof, app list, battery stats and installed ROM.

No played much, max for 40 mins, in that 6 hrs.
brightness?
Since this screen is a 1000 nit, could it be the auto brightness settings are up way to high, and thus much higher battery use. As far as i know, the clocks on the 855+ are a result of binning, so same voltage with those clocks, unless that is inaccurate?
watching this vid, with what he says is equalized brightness he manages to get 3+ hours of pubg, along with youtube etc, for 8:46 of SOT. Now as i have a 6T this is pretty appealing, but reading a lot of reviews, it seems 5.5 to 6 hours is the average and i wonder is that because of having brightness wayyy up, if the slider isnt balanced, or rather linear. 50% could be 500nit, which is max brightness on a lot of other screens. Thats 45nits brighter than max on a 6T for example. Just trying to sort out the discrepancy, between this gaming test, and what reviewers are getting. I cant imaging 4g modem is that big of a difference.
—------------Update-------------
In terms of battery life, the 7T put in 8 hours and 47 minutes of work in Tom's Guide's custom battery test, where phones endlessly cycle through websites at 150 nits of screen brightness until they run out of juice. Decent though that is, that's not only worse than the OnePlus 7 Pro (9:31); it pales significantly when compared to the iPhone 11 (11:20) and Samsung's Galaxy S10 Plus (12:35).
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
this from Tom's hardware seems to rule out over bright theory as they control nits to 150, but that seems crazy compared to the gaming vid we see above that shows a mere 45 mins less while streaming video and 3+ hours of pubg. It can't possibly be as demanding to refresh a web page at 150 nits. Judging by the video as well brightness looked easily over that level. So guess we'll have to wait for the IRL user reports

Thanks for posting that, what was the average screen brightness, ballparked if you dont have gsam style breakdown? Those numbers look better than the 7 pro! This usage mirror's my own, in that i dont do a lot of high cpu/gpu intensive work on my phone, aside a quick few photo/vid edits maybe. No gaming, so overall SOT for emails, msging is important. 8 hours bests what ive got on my 6T on auto brightness.

I was able to get around 1.5 days of continuous usage, between heavy gaming, regular gaming, web browsing, movie watching and some mails. Very pleased with the overall stamina.
My first "full" day with the ROG 3 (coming from ROG 2) Running mostly at Auto/120hz. Even did some heavy benchmarking with Antutu and Geekbench. Quite happy with SOT/battery life so far
Rooted with Kirisakura kernel, latest update
My second day with the ROG 3. Just amazing SOT Love this phone
I dont know what I am doing wrong though, but my SOT seems significantly less.
Epic battery life!! Best I've ever used.
Awesome battery life on this phone Here using 90Hz/60Hz (Using tasker to switch to 60hz when watching YouTube etc.) Also using Kirisakura kernel, clocked down CPU and GPU.
2nd and third pic is down to 35%. Used 120Hz from 50%
Just an update on last post:
13h SOT over 2 days (48h) is just amazing. Used 90hz first 50%, 120hz the rest

If I remember correctly, I used Kirisakura kernel, set big and prime cores to powersave, gpu to 490Mhz, Put min online big cores to 0 etc. I also use Naptime and GMS doze to force doze. (Srry late reply lol, didn't get any notification on your reply)

Hey! Sorry for my best English, i' m writing with the help of google translator . I wanted to consult with you about SOT Rog Phone 3 vs SOT ROG II. I want to buy RG3, but I'm worried that it will hold less charge than my current smartphone. This issue is very important to me, i'm literally obsessed =)
My use case: 60HZ, 30% screen light, YouTube, Telegram is constantly used.
In your opinion, who has a more durable battery? Attached screenshot Rog Phone II SOT (without root and using only the built-in capabilities to disable the background work of applications)

Hi!
ROG phone 2 and 3 have about the same battery life. ROG 3 maybe a little better due to newer SD 865+ that is a bit more efficient It has even the same battery capacity, 6000mah

Oh... The day before yesterday I bought a used cell Rog Phone 3. Before buying, I made sure that the battery is in good condition, at least I want to believe it. Attached a screenshot of the remaining battery capacity from Aida64.
Unfortunately, my SOT results were much less than yours, and even those I received from Rog Phone 2.
60 HZ, 30% screen light, dark theme... Could you please tell me what needs to be tweaked to at least get close to your SOT?

Hi!
That SOT seems be great, about the same as me trough a normal day. I only get that very high SOT when watching YouTube or movies a lot. If you want to tweak the phone as me, you will have to root it. Not a big difference, but it helps.
First be sure that your phone is updated to latest version, and if you have updated, do a factory reset

I attach the second test. the day is completely on the mobile internet. 2 hours of Skype conversations. do you think the phone is OK with SOT?
Honestly, I was expecting 13-15 hours on a daily non-gaming use. Rog II gave it to me. ROG III disappointed me.

Hi,
Yeah, that seems a bit low.. Might be due to Skype, if you used camera it drains more battery.. If you got 13-15h SOT on your Rog 2 with the same usage, it is very bad in comparison.. Too bad you are disappointed with your ROG 3.. Maybe a factory reset might help?
I ve been using my ROG 3 for a month, didnt charge it above 100% usually, i did once to check real battery mAh, which is like 5700mAh(wtf)
Now i get this **** on screen time..
Please advise.
*Edit
The screen on time is mostly related to the apps you use, the games i play are performance demanding, which makes the battery drain faster.
S' all good in the end.
