Dear all
I recently upgrade my Huawei p8 to the B390, and I notice that the battery life drop significantly, I want to now if someone knows a way to reduce the battery use from the applications, or another way to prolong the life of the battery.
Thanks in advance
P.d: I already download the app greenify, but I don't now how to use it . if someone can help me I will appreciate.
I've got the same problem on b391.
I think the only option is to downgrade into a lower version.
The problem is I don't really know what of them works well.

I'm also on B390, & battery life is fine compared to the previous firmware, which was B382.
When you go into Battery Manager > Consumption level, which apps are using the most power under the 'All' & 'Background' tabs?
With all visible apps closed, I've 21 services/apps under 'All' & only 1 app under 'Background' (WhatsApp). The top 5 in the 'All' list on mine are as follows. How does this compare to yours?
Google Services (13.45%)
Google App (11.77%)
Android System (5.12%)
Android OS (3.43%)
System UI (3.06%)
Hi everyone.
I'm interested in buying the p10 plus. The only problem is that i am worried about the battery life. I have heard negative things about the battery life. Currently i am using s7 edge which gets good battery life. I average about 6 hours screen on time with my s7 edge. What i have read online mostly states the p10 plus averaging around 4 hours screen on time. If anyone is coming from the s7 edge please compare the battery life and for those who aren't can you tell me what you average on screen on time.
Thank you from now
Dunno I used a Z3C and a Note 4. The P10 Plus performs really well, and you should never forget the ultra-super-fast charging which trumps Samsung in every way. tl;dr: I would not be worried. It also uses no PWM (no flicker like Samsung), and it's an LCD, so no burn-in like AMOLED. Best of all worlds.
It's too early to say something as I have it for few days yet, but battery seems good so far. During one heavy usage day I got 4h15min screen on time, but used navigation quite a lot. At least it compares to my Nexus 6p back in the good days. Hope to get it back from RMA soon But overall P10 Plus made an impression to me.
If you guys post screen on times it would be highly appreciated
5-6 hours DOT are very well possible.
Yes 5-6 hours sot,with 1 hour gaming and 1 hour browsing,some YouTube, Facebook, WhatsApp.
Almost 5 hours DOT and still 37% battery left, after mostly browsing, watching YouTube and some TV shows

Yes updates can help with battery life that's what happens with mate 9.

I don't think it will be a great deal. Maybe hardware faulty
Been waiting 6 weeks already for these promised updates. Being on b110 is probably why my battery just drains away during standby.

How you got B150 mate? Custom ROM? Which variant you've got? European or Chinese?

Use firmware finder from playstore to download the firmware ,and use this tool to updatehttps://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-mate-9-flash-update-package-t3593108/page55
Vicky is p10 plus.

I used Funkyhuawei. European 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

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

Yeah, I get that, but was there a problem with 581? I think "officially" (even through the FF app) 580 is still the
latest for L29C185BXXX

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.

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
Hi guys, upgraded mate 8 to nougat but buttery drain is huge. Downgraded back to what turned out to be emui 4.1 and it's the same thing. Battery drain is still quite huge.
does anyone have a copy or link to L29C636B320 or the last emui 4 Asian spec that works?
how about trying to determine what the actual cause for the battery drain is before flashing around like a crazy person?
i have to agree..don't rollback untill you investigate. i am on latest mate 8 firmware and have no battery issue.
about 2 days of battery with 4g mobile data enabled.

In a way you probably have a point but I'm simply following instincts here. I do believe it's the firmware itself but not sure how.
Ive rebranded to c636 emui 4.1 and it's a little better but still draining. To put that in perspective, I'm losing 18% per night with phone turned off. This never ever happened with emui 4. Infact on emui 4 with heavy usage i.e phone calls, music player on, Bluetooth on and a good 2-3 hours of gaming, internet browser and msging, I was still getting 2 days usage before getting to 20% battery. I had Kernal auditor but no other app to adjust battery performance.
Might sound silly but what's the best way to determine whats causing drain? I don't have any tools apart from SRK tool and Huawei extractor.

by "phone turned off" u mean u completely switched off the phone? as in power / shutdown? or just airplane mode?
if its the former, this points towards the battery itself, not the software. how old is your phone?

If you loose 18% with the phone switched off....well i think your battery is dying.

I've been thinking about that but I'm still not convinced. I might take the phone back to original c185 spec and see what happens.
Besides, last night it was fully charged at 100%, just plugged in the charger and it's showing 78%.
