Hi there. After reading many threads on battery life and screen on time (which youre all probably sick of hearing about now), i have a question about peoples results. They always describe what they did with their phone, and what toggles were on etc, but they never mention the brightness.
I see people getting 6hrs+ of screen on time, is this with the brightness at 50%? 25%? 10%???
What is a normal SOT using FULL brightness. Thanks
I always have my phones on full brightness, There are always comments on here about turning stuff off like sync, google now etc and saying "whats the point of having a smartphone"
I put the screen in the same bracket.. I've seen people boasting about getting 6 hours screen on but when questioned they have their brightness on 10% or whatever. Whats the point?
The screen on both this and the gnex are lovely, and only can you appreciate it by getting out of that mard ar5e zone and cranking the brightness up.
3 hours screen on is enough for my use, i'm getting that now using franco's kernel (was only getting 2 when i bought it)
My screen is auto brightness and it's usually 50 percent brightness and hundred here and there and I get 5 + hours on the matrix kernel.
It's usually the stock kernel that has a low battery life

Underclocked and undervolted (no difference in performance) I can push 4 hours SOT 100% brightness, with heavy gaming, web browsing and calls.
Whoever gets 6+ is using auto brightness.

But it's not like the auto brightness is trying to intentionally save battery by lowering brightness to an uncomfortable level...

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.
I am currently on nearly 3 hours on screen time with my brightness always on auto and lowest and with medium battery saving.

Approximately 4 hours of screen on time
Dual 4g enabled and moderate usage. Stand by time is great btw
With still 37 minutes of juice left, my Honor Play could stay on for 7 hours 49 minutes and 13 seconds.
Maybe something wrong... My play have a terrible battery life.
Could everyone post their average screen on time. Mine is 6-7 hours on an average with moderate gaming and everything. The games are pretty graphic intensive though, like pubg and all and by moderate I mean 1 hour.
Edit: without gaming I can easily get up to 8hours of SOT
Cuirous aswell.
Also,
How to check screen on time on this device? On Emui 8.2 / android 8.1.
Possible without apps? Gsam wasn't able to calculate, I don't know why.

In setting/battery /battery usage/hardware/screen
The battery life is very good on my Honor Play. Since I use this as my gaming phone, when my screen is on I'm usually playing games. Even then, the better will get me through a full day.

How do you get 8+ hours? Are you on oreo or pie and what is your screen brightness at?

I get between 6 to 7 with almost no games and with 10% battery left.

I'm on pie my brightness is mostly around 25% except for 3hrs when I'm travelling during which it is at 50% probably.
I too get 8+ hours sot. I am on EMUI 9.0.0.189. With 1 hour of PUBG sot drops to 6 hours. I have 2 sims with volte, mobile data on 90% of the time, auto brightness and auto rotate enabled, location disabled.

Try using power saving mode after 30%, you'd be surprised.

Seems like I set my brightness too "high" at around 70% on Oreo to get that kind of screentime.

Don't know. Generally with auto brightness I do not notice. But its around 50% when I manually adjust sometimes. The auto brightness calibration is good so there is lesser need for me to change the brightness manually.
My battery seems to last longer than I expect in most cases. I set the screen brightness for the display to automatic control. The system manages it better.
Yup, auto brightness is caliberated really well. I only use manual brightness while either playing or during night time when I put it to minimum with eye comfort on.
Does Emui 8.1 not learn brightness preference on auto brightness ?
How without pubg it can touch 8 hours of screen on time. Mine is on 7hrs in SS but I am pretty sure I can squeeze another hour out of that last 10-13%.

I am getting 9-10hours SOT consistently on the P30 Pro, mine is the 256GB 8GB RAM version, and I have been thoroughly enjoying the camera and battery life.
8 but i have another 20% battery so i can make it 10.
I am definitively not getting that much.
Right now I have 29% battery left with 4,5 h of SOT and 1,5 hours of calls, couple of pictures taken yesterday. BT was on the whole time connected to my watch GT, Wifi on, 4G on.
I just updated yesterday afternoon to version 124. Maybe it improves over time.
What's the best way to drain less battery? Keep WiFi on or Mobile Data on or both at the same time?
With a normal use (from 5:45 to 17:45) with
auto brightness, 2 wearable connected, 4h of music via BT, GPS always on, 1h of voice call... I made 9h of SOT within 48 hours (with a single charge)
I have a problem. The battery menu can not be more than 6h SOT. I do not know where I'm wrong. can he help?
I have the same problem. I think since the update the battery drain is insanely fast.. No rogue apps, just fb, messenger, and mostly of them are put to manual mode.. What is going on, pls help. Also it can barely go through 24h without charging, mostly 5h on screen time max..
Coming from moto z play battery on p30 pro is a sad joke. 6-7h SOT charged on the morning, empty at the evening, with screen dimmed as much as i can, either by app that lowers auto brightness by 50%, or lowering it manualy. I have read reviews that stated great battery life, so either they were misleading or maybe i should turn it to the service. 124 software, but it wasn't any better before the update.
Hmm gsam :/
Battery saver enable on 27%

Sounds like a faulty device. You should be getting 8 hours and over for SOT
Good
11 hours SoT. Auto brightness. Pretty goood. :good:
But was auto brightness at the minimum value, possible only in darkness?
How the hell do you get 11h on screen time with one charge????
Either with screen dimmed so it's visible only in total darkness + wifi internet... or in fact some people have outstanding battery and other got horrible.
I always end my day with 50-60% left and 4-5hrs of sot. Auto brightness and mobile data.

The brightness was average 50%. It has to be mentioned that the battery is hugly affected which apps that are used. As you can see from my post i used reddit and youtube a lot when i got 11 hours SoT.
I have experienced 6-11 hours SoT. So 7 hours is not bad... It all depends on which apps that are used.
I have charged it this morning, now It has past 2h and 45 min since the charging, screen on time 52 min and 88% left. It says only 20h are left before the battery runs out.
