Battery Performance - Post Screenshots Here

I came from a Z2 and that battery was really great. Not only was it a good size but Sony did a great job with optimisation.
From my experience so far the AM7 does well With the battery using it in normal battery mode which is recommended for games and movies. I don't want to use any other mode to reduce performance.
Let me know what you think. Overall I am happy with battery life but they could have optimised the phone better I think.
Here is an example of a heavy day use when I had the phone off charge at 10am and used the camera loads plus all the other stuff we all use.

... send from hell... hahahaaaa...

How much actually, you used?

Using both Sim slots! I charged up 2-3%. I forgot I was doing battery test, other than that, this was pretty heavy usage with LTE always on.

How come cpu z says my battery is on 3000mAh? is this the same with everyone? im only getting about 12 - 14 hrs mobile data on and about 2 to 3 hours gaming. most of my apps are just social and messaging i wonder if there is something wrong with my unit.

Battery

Phone off charge at 0530 this morning and its now 2307 !!!
I changes the battery mode to smart and it made the battery so much better and made NO difference in performance (from what I can notice) with films and camera.
39% left at 2309hrs after 18hrs !! That's insane.

I can barely reach 1 full day with my battery and Im wondering if its because of all the things running on my phone like I installed Nova Launcher and I have 2 desktop screens heavy with widgets plus my corporate mail is set to auto push my mail. What are your thoughts?

I use 2 emails on gmail. Stock launcher and high auto brightness. The phone gives you notifications what is draining. Post a PIC of battery page like below as that's not right. What model you have ?

thanks. i checked out the app but i cannot suspend my connection when my phone is off as i need to continue to receive message and be alerted anytime. also looking at the features of the app it looks like it is already available in the phone tools of this phone which is why i love it it already shows you a lot of info about apps that are heavy battery users and you can set it in a way where you can have them close and suspended when your phone is off .
What I have done so far is to remove my data manager which is being shown to be extensive battery user and also went back to emui suspending nova launcher (there are users saying its draining their battery) and HD widgets so far my battery lasts longer even with mobile data always on.
shame because i like nova launcher if it turned out to be too much of a battery hogger i may have to ditch it and try apex i can never get used to emui having no app drawer.

Ah this makes lots of sense. I was under the impression the 3gb model was just for the people in China and the 2gb model was for everyone else. I avoided the 3gb model as I was under the impression it would have radios specific for that country. Did your phone come with play store installed already or not ? I maybe totally wrong but this could be why your battery is draining so bad still ?? Let me know as interested.
Could you also download CPU z and take a screen shot of the battery section like I have below. The model I am using only shows 3000mah battery and am wondering if yours shows the same ?

Mine says 3000mAh as well. TL09 model.

it shows the same with me on CPU Z 3000mAh. probably the app is not reading it right. i think i was able to sort it out. took out power hungry apps and suspended apps that i dont need running on the background and i am able to get a day of charge at light to medium usage.
From what i know the gold version is offered outside china although some country doesnt have them. looking at my package the document actually says austrailia.

Battery drains very quickly

Hi all
I noticed that the battery runs out quickly.
It holds only 12 hours in normal use.
While I was at 48 hours with my Huawei mate 8
Is there a solution to this problem?
I have attached the phone version if it can help.

Wait bro, your firmware version is outdated, latest Lollipop firmware is 2.20.40.184, but yours is still running 2.20.40.90, update your firmware first then compare your battery stats from your previous firmware version.
How long is your SoT(Screen on Time)? Well, on a daily usage my Zenfone 2 lasts for up to 6hrs SoT(with wifi browsing, some gaming, 2g/3g texting including standby for almost 12hrs as well) so i think your experiencing average for this kind of handset.
Also note that you've posted on a wrong section, this thread should be posted on the "Q&A, Help, Troubleshooting section".

This phone generally has **** battery life for majority of people, there are every few people who see any decent battery life (like above). There are no solutions for good battery life for this phone.

I wouldn't recommend somebody (even less a new XDA user) to flash a beta firmware. Only the user itself should decide if he /she really wants to try beta software.

Comparing this phone's battery to a Huawei battery is like comparing a Prius to a Tesla. I can go 3 days on my Huawei Ascend Mate 2 but it's a 4000mAh battery and a Snapdragon chip compared to a 3000mAh battery and an Intel chip. The ZF2 battery will never get better unfortunately

I was getting some serious battery drainage on stock rom - I upgraded to the CM13 ROM with Android 6.0.1 - Set it on Root and installed Greenify + Xposed Framework - Smart Booster - Battery Doctor - Configured them all and keep my brightness on low when in doors and automatic when outside. My battery seems to be holding much better now. I haven't used that Stock rom Beta release of 6.0.1 yet so I'm not sure if that'll help. Good luck!
P.S - I only installed the mini version of GApps.

Check for the running apps and disable those that are not of use to you.. There are apps that run in the background, just run those that you think you will be using always.

Disable touch gestures, the ones that let's you double tap to wake it up, I disabled mine and during the night, with wifi on, it only used 1% battery.
Also, disabling LED notifications would help.
To replace the double tap to lock screen I use Greenify's widget, need to find a way to let me wake it up by volume buttons too.
Any other battery saving tips would be great.

But still, that's very good. I probably won't get this low because I have crappy reception at home, but I'll check it anyway.

zenfone 2 is best for performance lag free most of the time .....but battery life sucks.... and about that ferrari and prius thing... my friends sony xperia z series especialy z ultra has awesome battery life it is also quad core processor phone ...it is also a beast phone ...but there stamina mode saves a lot of battery ... 8 to 10 hr SOT is normal for z ultra..... so clearly power managment is very poor for zenfone 2. i am using marshmellow cm 13 .. greenify... .. overnight drop is 3 to 4 %... but as soon as i start using it battery starts to drain quickly..... i have searched whole xda forum.. but everybody is talking about wakelocks, thats fine but during actual use also it is consuming a lot of battery....i am tired of searching

L29C636B585 Best Nougat version

Like most of you, I have been complaining about excessive battery drain in nougat versions. After trying different roms and going back to Emui 4.0, I came across C636B585. This version have quite a great battery performance (even better than Emui) and the fast charge came back, (it had disappeared in other Nougat versions) finally I have a great battery live in a Nougat version, and the device feels smooth as butter. Definitely worth giving it a try.
I debranded and then got the update using proxy and the firmware finder.

Now if only there was a working way to get it on AL10C00
would love to try it

@juanq214, do you know how can I move from cm-13 custom ROM (lineage os) to L29C636B585? I don't want to brick my device so would like to avoid trial and error methods. Any help / links much appreciated.

IS it better than al10 b589? ^^

I have this version and did factory reset etc. I still think the battery is poor in comparison to pretty much any Marshmallow rom. Max SOT I get is 6-7 hours, but it's random sometimes I get less than 5. With MM I'd typically get around 9-10 SOT.

thats the 50.000 dollar question here im betting B589 has the same base, if not newer, so debranding an AL10 to L29C636 just to try this rom wouldnt make much sense in my eyes
guys, i will tell you this one more time: depending on the apps ure running, the sensors u leave switched on (BT, GPS, Wifi, etc) especially when not in active use, screen brightness, standby time, number of calls made, data type (2G/3G/4G), etc your SOT values will differ by A LOT even on the exact same firmware and configuration!!!
example: on days when im at home / permanently connected to a wifi (all other sensors and mobile data switched off), i usually get around 9-11h SOT.
however, when im on the move with mobile data switched on (3G), using GPS for navigation and making calls, then my SOT tanks to around 6-7h. thats both on the same firmware with same settings, same apps installed etc.
so, if you REALLY want to compare battery life between firmwares objectively, ull have to do the following:
install firmware, leave it stock, dont change any settings, switch on wifi, BT, gps, mobile data, make sure the screen stays switched on at a defined brightness level (not automatic but static) and make sure u dont get any calls or messages, otherwise that would again change the battery life.
do that for every single firmware and u got urself an objective comparison of SOT values
personally, no matter which firmware i was on so far, i always got more or less identical SOT runtimes: around 9-12h on less intensive days and 6-8h on more intensive days. thats it, and it hasnt changed going from B112 to B357 to B575
Sent from my HUAWEI NXT-AL10 using Tapatalk

Well, in my case I have had 5 different Mate 8 devices, so I am quite familiar with this device. Like the previous comment points it out, it is quite difficult to make an objective comparison between different filmwares. However you know your device and you can tell when it is consuming more battery than I should. Before this version, I was running L29C432B585, and you could see the battery draining in from of your eyes as you used the decide, it was just unusual.
I am a heavy user, (Bluetooth for my smartwatch, GPS when driving, wifi modem, switched to 4g often, etc) and still can make it to the end of the afternoon in a normal day without charging. That's fair enough for me. Also you must take into account how old your device is, and batteries get older, they lose mha capacity.

Can confirm this. I have no problem getting over 10h SOT when one wifi. This phone is very efficient when not on mobile data.
Huawei radio sucks a lot. You can see how the phone gets hot with intensive Internet use on mobile data while it stays cool when you do the same on wifi.

I'm wondering why all these updates get sent out to some, but not to all Mate8 users?

depends on your cust (internal regional code) and im guessing they send out the updates in waves to check to real life applicability (no bugs, stable, etc)
also, lots of people here just update manually via firmware finder or dload method
i for one am planning to update to kangvip B589 once im back home from holidays

Not that I'm aware of.

Sadly the battery drain came back... From yesterday afternoon the battery has been draining at an unusual fast pace, strangely the fast charging feature is also gone.
So it seems it's something that comes and goes. Since I flashed this rom, I had used the phone for about 1 week without battery issues. I wonder what triggers this behavior In the device? Yesterday y didn't do any unusual stuff apart from installing a couple of apps.
I'll have to end up selling my device and sticking to a different brand. Definitely Huawei produces great phones with really poor support and almost no development. I'll keep you posted.
Enviado desde mi HUAWEI NXT-L29 mediante Tapatalk

the support is actually great for the mate 8. here some statistics: from october 30th, 2015 up to the most recent firmwares from july 21st, 2017, a total of 595(!!!) full firmwares and OTA updates have been published on huawei servers for all variants of the mate 8. that time span is equivalent to 630 days, so we have 630/595 equals
one firmware published every 1.06 days or 25.4 hours on average!!!
could anyone call that bad support?
besides, this battery drain issue some users face here sounds VERY much like a settings / installed apps problem to me, especially since it just "appears" suddenly when "a couple of apps" are installed, very curious indeed

It doesn't make any sense to release updates if they come with lots of bugs and you have to wait for a miracle to receive Ota or push it yourself by debranding or other methods. I wish they released a stable Nougat version.
Regarding the apps installed, it's just impossible that common apps such as Twitter or xda app could increase battery consumption that much. I have had more than 4 different Mate 8 devices so I kinda know the device well and for sure this battery drain has to do with the rom.

downgrade from B585
How to downgrade my firmware?
I have an original L29C636 on B585, I want to "downgrade" back to a previous ROM, anything before B585, I couldn't find a way to do it, please help
two of my friends also having a stock L29C636 and they both said after updaing to B585, they have 20% less battery and phone freezes for a sec here and there sometimes. So they are just normal users and they use the same app, same way, so there might really be some battery drain issue here.
Thanks

Help with battery...

Hi i bought New S8 02.03.2018r.
So I have it 8 Days... and my battery Time is teribble look at SS sorry for my bad english... on 100% battery Samsung Tell me he can work for 10 hours rly? My old S7 had better results... I dont know what I should do

It happend to me as well when I bought it. Give it some time and it will optimize things.
Also, what's your usage like? LTE all the way, no wifi?
As a note, when I got mine it kept at ~3hours of SOT for awhile, now I get 5 minimum with my usage (I'm what you call a power user).

So how Long it take... because it's terrible I must take charger with me...

I didn't really pay attention. It took ~ a week after I finished with all the setup and updates and everything. I.e. once I was back to my normal self/usage.
Like everything in life it needs some time to settle.
I had this with every smartphone I had.
Cheers!

Like I said I have this 8 Days... and it's The same 3,45 h SOT and 9H on battery when I use it

I think it all varies, and there are a lot of factors to take into consideration.
For me it took that long to settle because I have a lot of apps that I need (around 30) mostly work related, that require some time to build caches and everything.
Anyway, here's my usage for ~5hours of SOT:
-WiFi most of the day
-brightness at 40%
-data on regardless of WiFi (in case I have to run outside or something)
-around 20apps with push notifications on
-bluetooth always on and connected to my gear s2
-location always on
-calls ~2hours a day
-texting a lot (WhatsApp and regular text)
I charge it in the mornings and it gets me all the way to next morning with ~ 15/20% left.
That said, battery consumption cannot be determined solely by screen on time, there are a lot of other things that might drain your battery, for example LTE(mobile data) always on.
I'm on mobile data at most a couple of hours a day(WiFi at work and at home) so that helps a lot with battery life.
I also don't keep more than 10 apps running, and I tend to close an app if I'm done with it for the day.
But it all depends on usage.
If I play games(which I rarely do) the screen on time would decrease considerably, as games use the gpu and processor a lot.
Also, I keep my screen's brightness at around 30/40% (mostly because I hate it when my eyes hurt from too much brightness ).

Get use to it - battery in S8 is crap. You can try to root it, debloat it, greenify it, forcedoze it. I did all of that, but, nevertheless my s8 has to be charged on everyday basis.

In every phone the battery is not good ( except sony in my experience).
I had some 4000 maH battery phones and frankly after 6 months i got to charge them every day. Especially after updates. That is unfortunate because we spent lot of money for them. Nevertheless i am happy for now with the performance and didn't debloat anything. If it gets worse i would change the battery and go on.

Yeah, sony have somewhat better battery life from my pov as well. Maybe it's because Samsung have better display and stronger guts inside, or it's "stamina mode" magic. It's a shame that Sony phones are so ugly nowadays.

Get use to it - battery in S8 is crap. You can try to root it, debloat it, greenify it, forcedoze it. I did all of that, but, nevertheless my s8 has to be charged on everyday basis.

Battery life on Android P

I think you guys will be very happy with the battery life on Android P (FYI this is with Greenify installed and basic optimizations)
Let me know if you have any questions about battery life on Android P
Obviously apps stats at the bottom are messed up, considering they removed app stats and it is enabled as an experimental feature

I'm still getting the best battery life I've ever gotten from any phone on Oreo, so any improvements are all the better.

Meh...I'll stick to "O" ????

Your device must be rooted.
I don't see how that is possible.
Also what apps did you use during your usage. Better to show that with battery stats

Yep, it's rooted. Just goes to show how deceiving SOT can be, and why you can't compare your stats to anyone else. My usage is based mostly on reading and posting on XDA, 90% on wifi, some phone calls, texts, YouTube, and chrome. Things change a lot for me when Summer comes with farm work and the device moving a lot. :good:

I like my devices stock. I had note 8 for a day or two but hated the battery life so instead got a pixel 2 XL. I get pretty good battery life but nothing like yours. I'm happy with 7hrs SOT

I have a Pixel 2, but I go back and forth between both forums since there's so much commonality.
I have excellent battery life on P, better than 8.1 with the same usage pattern. Like @Badger50 says you can't truly compare from person to person, only from release to release. I have 2 Gmail accounts syncing, 1 Exchange account on Nine, most of my communication is through Facebook Messenger, but I also make video calls through Duo, and I use GPS (Waze, Runtastic, etc) heavily. Good battery life for me would be awful for Badger, but my battery life compared to 8.1 is better.

looks like normal usage to me

I get 7hrs SOT, decent I guess

I hope Android P actually does help with battery life as it would be nice to get more screen on time

Anyone please give the android P Easter egg apk

That's more helpful. One person's "decent" is another person's "pretty good".
