Screen on Time - Honor 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion

This device is getting better everyday. Power of 4000mAh and the awesome RAM management coupled with few regular battery saving tweaks has given me 10hrs SOT today.
That is with regular push notifications, Whatsapp, some youtube, instagram, photo edits, browsing, 20mins of VR .
This is so satisfying.
Screenshots attached.

Hi can you share which tweaks you use for battery life? Will be very very appreciated, anyway great sot! hah Nougat, too much people hate Nougat because is bad optimlazing for battery

Disable HiBoard, Since EMUI allows you to uninstall bloatware do that. Uninstall all those applications that you don't need/use.
I would suggest not using Facebook and messenger app. /
Go into battery settings and use the "Lock screen cleanup" to prevent apps from running in background after screenlock. This will prevent notifications from showing up so select only those apps that you don't want notifications for.
You can also take that one step further by using apps like Brevent (Android 7.0 added new permission called RUN_IN_BACKGROUND, which can restrict background behavior of apps(blocking broadcast receivers, services, etc.). However this permission is fully hidden and there's no way to activate it besides using adb commands. ) Play around and see. If you have rooted your device, you won't have to use the Adb commands.
Good luck

Quite possible. If we get a custom Kernel with EAS and/or more governors, we can push even further by controlling the cores.
Long way to go.

I just got 6 hrs and 20 min of SOT over a period of 22 hrs of usage from 100 percent to 15 percent. No power saving mode was activated. Also no apps were set for auto clean on screen lockup. Listened to music to through speaker for about 1 hr.
I use fb app, messenger lite, Instagram, Tapatalk and others.
So, this phone is perfectly capable of delivering of 6 hrs of SOT over a day.
If anyone has got light usage, it can easily last atleast upto 30 hrs.

True. 6 hrs is like a standard on this device. Anything more is depending on the usage pattern.

It's pretty impressive that the Honor 8 Pro has such a good battery life.

True. 4000mAh for QHD screen seemed much needed but this has outperformed most expectations of a average user

This is absolutely fantastic, I wish honor keep adding bigger batteries

Thats great

Indeed the battery optimise with time and usage. Anything above 6 hrs is acceptable. It has more battery but due to 2k screen it consumes some additional battery.
Here is SS of 6X battery
I easily pass 6-7 hrs on moderate usage. Around 6 on heavy usage. 8 pro is with more battery but larger screen and 2k display Consumes extra there still 6-7 hrs is ok.

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.

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

The black is not as deep as mi5 but the sunlight visibility is superb.

SoT varies on what you are doing.
2 hours reading your digital book is vastly more efficient than 2 hours playing 3D games.
I got almost 5hours sot average usage. Whatsapp, twitter, a little of youtube and etc. No games tho.
3hrs on heavy gaming and streaming with 55% left. I am loving this device ? on miuims 7.5.25

I guess the claim that the sd835 produce less heat is also true. This is what I like about the 10nm SoC; on sd820, when I try to play dolphin emu; the temp easily reach 43-45°C on MIUI (on LOS based rom is better).
But sd835 my highest temp is yet to reach 41°C.
This is the first time i see a wonderful 4G SOT, but, can you post all battery statistics?

epic rom
I get 7 hours of SoT with some gaming.
I'm on Epic ROM right now but I've tried Global as well. I'm really disappointed with the battery life of Mi6. I'm getting around 4h of SoT and the battery lasts a little over a day (mostly on wifi, zero gaming). That's even less than my 3 year old OnePlus One. I hope it changes when Xiaomi releases kernel sources for Mi6 and AOSP ROMs start popping up which I believe will cut a lot of bloat off of MIUI.
I'm running xiaomi.eu with MIUI and memory optimisation disabled. I'd made a few calls, used the GPS for about 20 minutes, streamed music and mainly used it for browsing. Amazing performance.

I think the appearance of the battery stats changes when you disable MIUI optimisations. I'm also running an old version of cstheme which I downloaded from the MIUI thread rather than the theme app (as the latest version doesn't theme the settings menu in blue).

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.

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.

Screen on time

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 Mate 10 before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
6 hours 20 min
Just got mine a couple of days ago and wanted to test the battery out.
I had 100% at 7.36am and then went out. I did some normal chrome browsing during that time. I also did the first big update. The translator one that was about 300meg. I downloaded around 500 songs to Spotify.
I got home around 4pm and this is where I really used it almost non stop until 8.34pm.
I watched some YouTube, a 45 min Netflix episode, a ton of web browsing, checking out all the phone settings, Facebook, and about 90 min of gaming (tower defence, top down 2D scrolling shooters).
I stopped at 8.34pm at 5% left. Phone has been on battery for around 13 hours.
Screen on time during the above time reported at 6 hours and 20 minutes.
I was pleased with that though doesn't hit much of the hype I've read lately.
Coming from a Nexus 6P, which my only complaint was battery life (3.5 your SOT on average) I'm happy and really my wish was to have a phone that I could use heavily all day without needing to recharge either at home or out with a power bank.
It's still early stages and I will keep monitoring.
I forgot to add this was at 1080p resolution.
Sad that Moto Z Play beat this 4000mah on my Mate 10, I did lyft for 8hrs no turning off screen non stop playing Spotify and YouTube red on the background and using lyft app and Google map on the Z play and after 8hrs I still have 15% left on 40%screen brightness. The mate 10 only last 6hrs and 10%left. So lesson is don't buy Z Play then buy another more expensive phone. Bought mine $703 on ebay and I am using AT&T and I get same speed as iPhone 7 plus with regards to data speeds. I have a S8 too which I sold because of screen burn in, but the Mate 10 is a beast. It beats my S8 speed with regard to experience using the phone. And IPS is really the way to go if you use the phone how I use it everyday 8-16hrs of screen on time.
So after a few days use and after a 100% charge I get this estimated use. Hmmmn

IMO, it's very good considering the screen size :good:
Did you try comparing SOT with QHD vs FHD resolutions? I understand that SOT won't really improve if you go for lower resolution..
All pixels on the screen are used regardless. Just a bigger sample size with FHD. However, QHD will use a little more battery if you are changing the image on the display. For the fact that it has to draw that many more pixels each time the image changes. Which is millions of pixels. But I believe a lot of static image changing is done by the cpu and not the gpu. where gpu is used mainly for constant motion on screen.
But honestly part of the reason they have such high resolution is for VR. That and to make more sense of taking UHD pics and videos. Most people won't notice a working difference between the two through regular use unless they keep it really close to their face, or have very good eye sight.
So you will see it use some extra battery. Not a detrimental amount more unless you are a heavy user of games and whatnot. Or if you force GPU rendering, then you should see a big difference in battery

but its still interesting to see the results. If its like 0.5-1h of SOT to a SOT result which on QHD is 6-7 hours, I would never go for lower resolution..

I didn't try the higher resolution yet as 1080 for me is absolutely fine looking to my eyes. I came from a nexus 6p which was poor on SOT which I attributed to partly to the resolution.
Still it will be worth to try it at some point to see the difference.
My worst result with battery was today. 4.5 screen time but I did the most gaming and had hours of messenger chats with a 40 minutes voice chat thrown in.

SOT:
Now after 10 days, mine is usually around 5-7 hours, if I just surf internet, Youtube, using FB, IG, RSS reader and camera (usually without flash). I'm mostly on WiFi using also only 1 SIM at a time (the other switched off).
If using games, this drops to 4-5 hours max. Seems the GPU is burning through battery like butter, the phone is also getting somewhat warmer.

Also been noticing that the mate 10 performs bad in games, could be because the games are not optimized to kirin ?

This is what I got so far.
8hrs 50mins 23s
* Max resolution set - WQHD - disabled Smart resolution toggle
* Social media, surfing, on WIFI like permanently all throughout the day
* Minimal youtube, no gaming (since I'm at work)
* first couple of days I was able to get around 7hrs SoT average

You guys know this is a waste of time without giving which model as the Pro in theory should have a better SOT with lower res and OLED
Mate 10 with AT&T Sim and always on Wi-Fi. This is what I get. Most of the time is on Twitter, Chrome, 30 minutes on sling TV today.
Seriously??? [emoji23]?

...still on 115.… the smart resolution changes the reso automatically depending on the app requirements (from my understanding) ... haven't received the 119 but will definitely check as soon as I get it.. ?

I'm definitely impressed with this phone's battery life

Screen on time

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 OnePlus 7T before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
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.

Just received my Oneplus 7T.
SOT is average for me.
But it's satisfy my needs.
Getting 6 hrs + SOT.
Black theme, 60hz display settings.
And some pubg play.

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).

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

Had connected to the PC for a file transfer. Maybe because of that ? ?
Will post again today after a day of normal use.

Could you please let us know the differences in
Haptics motor and loudspeakers.
Thanks.

Haha.. I know that. But it's good to keep the others posted of the current status right . I will surely let you know after a few days of use too ?

I am really finding very minimal difference in haptic motor between the OnePlus 6T(my friend's) and my 7T. But I can say the loudspeaker is really good on the OnePlus 7T.
Update day 2:
I am totally satisfied with the battery backup. I am a above average user but not a gamer.
The below stats were 80% on WiFi and remaining on 4g. Have turned off ambient display since I am not a fan of it.

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.
