Is Honor 8 nougat beta stable for daily use ? - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

Does it have a lot of bugs? How is the battery and etc?

For me, the battery life is crap, apart from that I'd say it's stable enough.

How can you say that ? I get more SoT on Nougat, like 5-6 hours with like 30-40 minutes of gaming.
On marshmallow i get like 5 hours.

No bugs, everything looks fine for me, fast and fluid. I get more battery on Nougat then on Marshamallow.

Had 5-6 on Marshmallow, on the Beta the battery is draining like crazy, usually have to charge twice a day with light usage. Factory reset didn't do nothing, same apps as before. Might do another factory reset or go back to Marshmallow after the holidays.

exactly the same issue....on marshmallow is a bit better cause of the extra power plans....i wonder if rooting and using greenify and amplify will help

I never messed with the power plans, just went with performance, haha!
Might help, give it a try, I haven't got time to mess around with anything now for a week or two.

It depends on number of apps you install , number of apps running in background . Time u keep you data connection open . all above will drain it battery faster so use minimal except basic apps

Figured all that already...always close all apps when the screen is off, never connect to wifi or data while the screen is off, smart power plan, reduce resolution, disable bloatware i don't use etc..... for sure i can have my phone without charging for 3 days but what is the point is my screen on time is 4hrs or maybe less in Nougat is even worse imo.... Even after emptying the battery charge to 100% and recalibrating twice
Also something irrelevant i noticed after downgrading back using another region update.app is that the theme store have more themes now that before they weren't there

No power plans on Nougat. It's something like this, for performance you dont need to do anything.
The batttery saver is in Phone Manager, then you have the option to lower the resolution which i dont think it works because nothing changing when i turn it on and the Ultra saver.

I noticed more standby battery drain in EMUI5.0 (B320) than EMUI4.1. I believe Android OS uses more power than before (I don't remember how much it uses in 4.1, but it uses a lot in 5.0).

the smart power plan is missing though!!! which i find it important cause sometimes you don't need neither perfomance nor battery save

I think the smart power plan is the same thing as battery saver

Changing the resolution won't change anything in view . but look here , in order to display a video with 1080p resolution you are using much CPU power where as when u watching the same video at 480p resolution , it requires much juice . only thing u miss is display quality which is negligible.

Wow battery drain is epic i turn everything off and went to sleep with 60% and i wake up with my phone dead..

Im using 4.3 and battery is good,
airplane mode uses a max of 1% overnight , have just put it on charge after 1 day 17 hours of mixed use on wifi and 3G and the screen time was just over 9 hours. appears to be getting better all the time.

I can assure you, kitkat doesn't affect your battery consumption. There must be something else wrong, that you are suffering from battery drain.

Battery drain

Hello,
I don't know what can I do. I must charge the battery 2 times a day. With custom ROM and Kernel ,also in stock unrooted and with locked bootloader. It's not normal, I think. Has anyone the same Problem? Maybe the battery is damaged. What do you think?
I think it's damaged .The second charge today.
Mine is very similar. I think our batteries are gone. I am about to do a factory reset and reinstall my ROM to see if it makes any difference to battery load.

Did you try to go back to Lollipop 5.1.1 firmware .264? Works miracles for me... as I have >6h SoT (screen-on-time) on Lollipop, but <4h SoT on Marshmallow
/PS: In my use case anyway, yours might vary, yet I believe you'll see a longer lasting battery
Same problem for me until yesterday. After repair with Sony Bridge for Mac and installing only important apps it is ok.
I can not add screenshots. BetterBatteryStats says 2,8%/h. 73% Deep Sleep. Usage: 1d 5h 12 min. Now 15 % Battery remaining.

It seems that your phone is very activ in background. After resetting my phone the battery life is very good. I disable many background activities and install only important apps.
What is the name of your app in the screenshot?
Sorry for my English.

I start from beginning and the what happens.
First try to see what apps run in the background, maybe there are some services draining your battery. Is Mobile Radio Active draining the battery? If not than 100% that your battery needs to be replaced.
Try Nova Battery Tester (look for apk) set to long test and see what capacity it measures.

Battery drain on B360 for L04

Anyone notice a significant drop in battery life in B360? I was quite happy with the SOT on 317 (just about 5h) and ever since I upgraded to 360 it's a drastic drop. Wondering if anyone else is experiencing this and how I can fix it.
So if you go to battery management, what's using your battery?

These are my latest statistics of N (B360) before rolling back to MM (B162). Something that caught my attention is the average estimates for screen on and screen off time. I got less screen off time with N than with MM but more screen on time. I think my VPN app might be the culprit for the lost of screen off time compared with 18-24hrs I was getting with MM, but can't tell for sure until I replicate the same use under MM.
So if I were to use my phone at the end of the day, after having it on standby at work, I'll probably have 3hrs of SOT before the phone goes into cardiac arrest. But my story is the opposite, I use it a lot at work and stop using it when I'm at home.

Gsam says COMBINED APP CPU. Everything's set up exactly the same as it was on 317. I used to get through the day with my moderate use with ~40% left. Now I have to charge in the afternoon. Bit annoying. Would factory reset help? I never actually did it after upgrading.

If I recall well is Performance but I'm not a 100% sure. Thanks.

I don't have a battery manager screen but Power Saving and Ultra modes are off, which again are the same as 317 for me.

Yeah I know that. I'm saying that my usage habits and apps using battery aren't much different. Just wondering if this is a known issue, or something that can be fixed by a factory reset.
I tried the B320 on my L19 for a week and had similar experience to the OP. Rolling back to MM allowed me to skip charging in the afternoon.

A week ago went back to MM (B162) and here are my latest battery stats. Total used time is better in MM than in N without question. So in conclusion, N is less battery efficient than MM. I just hope Huawei has this polished before February's update. Fingers crossed. :fingers-crossed:
First and second screen shots are MM.
Third and fourth are N.

So I actually rolled back my phone to 162, and then used the Charles method to go to 360 again (I previously used the dload method to update). Performed a factory reset after updating this time, and now my battery life is insane! Im at over 4h SOT with 52% battery left currently.
So for people that are experiencing battery drain on 360, perhaps try updating using Charles or officially instead of using dload, and do a factory reset after.

My battery life is definitely better after the 360 update. .
I was in the beta Before and it's improved alot.
I had it at 100℅ yesterday morning and didn't had to charge till about 4pm today and that's with me watching now TV last night for a couple of hours

I've had the same experience as the last two posters. B360 improved my battery life a lot over previous beta versions. I still think Standby was better on MM, but I get more SOT with Nougat. I'm not sure how that makes sense, exactly.

Look in the Guides section, Sympathic way to update
same here with the battery drain. I update with hicare app via officially ota. I'm thinking to rollback to emui 4.1. Android OS is eating my battery on standby
EDIT: it seems i've solved with a rollback to emui 4.1 and then reupgrade via ota!

Battery life very poor in nougat

battery life is very poor in the latest nougat update.. when the screen is on my battery percentage fell form 60% to 50% in just fifteen minutes... all i was doing was chatting and listening to some songs.... is it just me or the battery life is really this poor?
any way around?
factory reset your device. should sort it
Having the same problem. Latest XEF.
Factory restore did nothing to help.
Try German dbt firmware, users have reported good battery life on this version of firmware

Now with 30% left i have 5 hours Sot. Before disabling i barely had 4 hours at same 30% of battery.
I'm gonna test
Let's see my friend
I do this same and it helps a little. I have 1 hour more sot.
Yes, but smart boost keeps apps in RAM as it should. If you turn it off then you may complain about apps being closed in the background. So it's a trade off based on what you want most.
I always throw the apps out.
Man i only turned this off in the morning and im already seeing an improvement, 3.5hr SOT at 60% battery.

Maybe so, but if its in OnePlus Labratory, that means its in beta or alpha and not fully tested.

Do you have any real credibility to base these claims off of. This Utility is really nice, and I don't believe you.
What OS, modules, apps are you running.... This to me is hearsay.

Why would I disable something I know for a fact works really nice (good looks to 1+ devs who made the utility), based on something someone who says it improves their battery life (which I don't get because this phone has legit really good SoT+battery life)?
You probably have something else wrong
I'm getting reduced deep sleep percentage since the 9.0.5 update. My phone used to sleep 88-95% of my screen off time. Now it can be between 62-75% but my sot is still only 6.5-8% drain per hour of sot.
I dirty flashed and I'm sure it just needs a factory reset but I don't have it in me to set this phone up again when I'm upgrading to the OnePlus 7 pro in a week. Disabling the labs isn't doing much for the screen off time (deep sleep)
