Hey guys! So I buyed the Honor 8 2 days ago and it never goes to sleep.
Android OS is the highest culprit.
Anyway to fix this?
My phone has no Root it is completly stock.
I also had a similar experience with the phone, Android OS was making it run hot
If i were you i would probably force-upgrade to another version using the dload method....you never know what can go wrong with the preinstalled rom....or you can check if you can upgrade to a newer version

Hi! I have updated the phone via OTA. And it says there are no new updates.
How can I force upgrade it? I'm new to the Honor Line.

Before going there....try a few things: set power plan to smart, descease the resolution, click the gear icon and the select for wifi and data to stay off when you screen is off, have 0 protected apps , also open the device management to see what else you need to adjust like screen brightness, auto-rotate etc

@Christopher876 suggested to me an app called ForceDoze which i think it helps even further. If you still have issues you can try this method to upgrade to Nougat (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69885525&postcount=11) then downgrade to the marshmallow firmare you want....Unfortunately i don't know if you can skip to upgrading to Nougat first but if you don't mind the trouble. Here is what i did: (thanks to @Sheldd for so kindly explaining to me in pm)
Code:
Hello, so look, first, i have Honor 8 FRD-L09 (European model with 32gb) and to downgrade from Beta Nougat B320 to Marshmallow B131 i've done this: *ALL OF YOUR DATA WILL BE LOST
1-Download this: (download the one suitable for your model)
2-Download this: (same as number 1)
3-Format your SD CARD.
4-Unzip the "dload" folder from the first zip you downloaded (ROLLBACK PACKAGE) and copy on the SD CARD. *THE SD CARD NEED TO BE EMPY,ONLY THE DLOAD FOLDER NEED TO BE THERE
5-Turn off your phone.
6-Press and hold Volume UP+Volume DOWN+Power button. Now he will downgrade to B300
7-Unzipe the "dload" folder from the second zip (ANDROID B131) and copy on the SD CARD.
8-Press and hold Volume UP+Volume DOWN+Power button. Now he will downgrade to B131 and will reset your phone
Thats all, anyway, if you want to be sure everything is fine you can do a factory reset
*Note you have to download the correct files for your model whether FRD-L09, L04 etc..., your data will be lost when downgrading, you have to wipe your SD card (it is a must to created the folder in the SD card)
If anyone else has a better way please share it
Use app called greenify
Update to the latest OTA, and factory reset

Thanks, the problem persists even after the factory reset.
I wanted to follow the instructions given to me to upgrade to nougat then downgrade but dont understand.
I have the US variant.
I had a similar experience over the past couple of days in nougat 320 (it was fine before), I googled a bit and found that Google backup may be the culprit. I turned it off and then back on again later, and so far for the past 20 mins my battery is still at 100%.
Battery life is quite subjective. If you use your device all the time to check social media, play games, and consume media. Then you aren't gonna get a whole day's worth of battery from it.

The problem isn't the time I use it.
The problem is a stanby battery drain by the AndroidOS, my device isn't entering Deep Sleep and is always active, making stanby-time decrease.

Maybe if you attach some files similar to the ones I'm attaching, we can actually see something. Otherwise, Android System and Kernel are always (almost always) the two highest listed by CPU, which means almost nothing because every app that does anything at all has to use the API which uses Android System, .. and kernel.
Here are my attachments where Android System & Kernel are highest and yet in 16 hours, they've used < 20 minutes of time. Cpu deep sleep is at 80+ % averaged over the 16 hours. By the way, I'm on Nougat, but it was actually a bit better as shipped with Marshmallow.

Do you have any social media apps running in the background? As those often drain the battery as they are always connected to their company's respective servers.

I apologize if this issue has already been addressed but Im beyond frustrated.
Since my OTA update to 5.1, my phone is completely crippled. It randomly powers off about 10 times a day (not a auto restart) and I have to power back up. It will also auto restart another 5 to 7 times a day, when it does this it will get stuck in a loop of trying to boot into the OS and restarting all over again. So it will display "Google" for about 2 seconds and then restart again. This is only stopped by holding down the power button. The best part about this happening is that the phone then thinks its the first time I have powered on since the 5.1 update and will initialize all of my apps, which takes about 5 to 10 min. I have had 5.1 for about a week or so and its been getting worse every day. More power off's and restarts each day.
I should note that I am with T-Mobile and my phone is not rooted. Bone stock
My phone is borderline unusable since the update. Please god somebody help me.........

Basically something wierd went with the update, maybe a file got corrupt, some risidual 5.0 code is there. Who knows.
The best way out is probably to flash 5.1 again like said above although not really explained. This will ensure the entire phone is 5.1 and there isn't some 5.0 risidual code somewhere which is likely causing the problem.
It will flash your entire phone with stock 5.1, no root, custom recovery or kernel or anything, 100% stock. You will lose your data though, so if you can, back it up!
Download the 5.1 stock image here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#hammerhead
it will say 5.1 next to it, it'll be pretty clear.
Extract the contents after the download and run the flash-all script.

there are people that are reporting a few issues, mainly the memory leak issue still being present. There are none or very little talking about 7 - 10 random power offs a day. This is very unusual and likely to be a specific issue to you not mainstream.

So like how hard?
I just got my Oneplus one, and it seems to be really good. I got a few doubts though:
I have the Indian version. Does that make any difference in rooting, flashing, bootloader etc?
1) I have copied a lot of music to my phone. Also i have a lot of conversations in Whatsapp backed up. So if I flash the Oxygen OS when it comes out or flash some other ROM, will I lose all my music and whatsapp daily backups? (On my previous phone it was all on SD card so it was all safe).
2) I have the XNPH05Q incremental update available after I bought the phone. But I have read a lot of issues like phone getting heated and worst battery drain. So are these bugs fixed or I shouldnt update to 05Q?
3) Only after reading about the yellow tint, I feel there is a slight yellow tint at the bottom. Will it be fixed in future software updates or with some tricks or should i get my phone replaced if its hardware problem/permanent?
4) When I was charging my phone at 5% battery, the temperature got insanely hot after 30 minutes. It was like 42 C. I read that at lower battery level the phone gets too hot. Does this mean I got a bad piece or the issue can be fixed?
There is no difference in rooting/unlocking procedures.
1) To flash OxygenOS you will need to unlock your bootloader. Unlocking bootloader wipes the internal memory. So, you'll lose all your data. Back it up.
2) I had installed the latest incremental update as soon as the phone arrived. Did not notice any problems, but I flashed CM12 immediately so didn't get much time to test everything on CM11s. Many people don't know that the battery drain is due to the new Play Services. I have battery drain issues on my Note 2 also. Wait and see what others have to say here. Not so sure about the bugs.
3) You noticed the yellow tint only after reading about it. If you didn't notice it earlier, it simply means that it's not so much of a huge problem after all. Sadly, future software updates cannot fix the tent. The decision to replace your device or get a refund for it, i'll leave it to you. Personally I wouldn't compromise with such wonderful hardware at such a great price just for a yellow tint.
4) Not so sure about this one. But sometimes devices get overheated due to wrong adapters/cables. Are you using stock charger and cable? My note 2 gets overheated everytime I charge it using my new cable but temp stays normal using older cable. Try swapping cable and/or adapter.

About point 4:
That isn't insanely hot, that isn't even hot, that's actually quite a moderate temperature. I've seen this device go above 60°C before, 42°C is a pretty reasonable temp for a smartphone, especially while charging, so it's nothing to worry about.

Congrats on getting such a great phone.
Regarding charging at 5%--when your battery is that low, the system is breaking its butt to charge it with lots more current flowing through it especially if you are draining it at the same time, because it's struggling to keep up with the demand. It's bound to get hotter charging at 5% then at 95%. Really shouldn't ever let it get so low if you can help it, especially if draining it at the same time as charging.

Isnt my data stored on external partition? i copied over 10+ GB of data. How big is Internal storage? 2GB?
Yea I too saw the Play services posts. Can you link me a good guide for disabling without hindering normal usage?
And I am using the stock cable.
Also are there any cons if I unlock the bootloader and Root?

When he says internal storage he means the user accessible partition, the virtual sd card. That, along with any apps and settings (stored in the /data partition) will be completely wiped when you unlock the bootloader. Everything except the OS is wiped. That's why you need to do it before you actually start using the phone. The internal storage partition is about 55gb before you start putting data onto the phone. The system partition (which includes apps) takes up the rest of the space.
I have a guide on stopping the Google Play Services battery drain here:

There are absolutely no cons to unlocking your bootloader and rooting your phone, only benefits.

You're in India, right? These Indian phones won't be receiving any updates at all due to Micromax having exclusivity rights to CM there. You can still receive updates even with an unlocked bootloader and root, but because you have an Indian device you won't be able to receive them automatically. You'll still be able to download the OTA and flash it manually though.

That's interesting, it goes against what's been reported in the past. Perhaps it's just the initial CM12S that's going to be released to India, and the nothing after that.

If you reduce the screen resolution, it shouldn't be as hot as before. That was my experience.

You have to flash a new updater thru twrp then you can restore stock recovery and run the update. You don't need root use the honor multi tool

Would be great if someone could make a twrp-backup of b860. One or another will need that sooner or later!

Extract zip file and copy the update.app into “dload” folder in SD.
Open the dialler in device and dial *#*#2846579#*#* you will get project menu.
Select 4th option 'SD card upgrade' it will power off phone & flash update.
After flashing successful it will reboot.
This work also for downgrade from MM

guys, do you notice that crazy batery drain on B860? or only me have this problem? do you have a solution?
My battery drain is not any different with 860 compared to 820 and that was ok for me.
But my huge problem is that my push notifications from apps like whatsapp and gmail are now delayed by hours. I think i checked all the relevant options like background data, wlan always on, ignore battery optimization and keep running after screen off but it seems like it doesn't work.
Is there a way to downgrade from 860 to 820 ?

Yeah i tried that. Didn't work for me. In hindsight that might have happened because I restored the whatsapp backup I did with Huawai Backup and it must have had some faulty settings.
Anyway, I did the switch back to 820 by flashing with fastboot and now gmail is working fine again. Not sure about whatsapp. It's definitely better although I received two or three messages a bit delayed. Need some more testing. But that is nothing like those 6 hour delays I had before.

Yeah i tried that. Didn't work for me. In hindsight that might have happened because I restored the whatsapp backup I did with Huawai Backup and it must have had some faulty settings.

The same here. I restored the WhatsApp backup as well. I think that was the reason for the Problem!
Hey, XDA-ers!
I got the Android Nougat 7.0 update for my Samsung Galaxy S7 SM-G930FD (DUOS) back in January if I remember correctly. And the update process went like how it normally does. But ever since I got the Nougat update, my phone restarts randomly for no reason. At first it used to restart when I click on the 'Recent Apps' button to switch between apps. When I tap on the button, the phone vibrates and restarts. The phone never over heated before this happens. During this, the phone used to restart 2-3 times a day. This went on for 2 months. Then now, the number of restarts reduced to 1-2 per day, but the problem still persists. And now, it restarts even when I don't touch the 'Recent Apps' button. So, if any of you has had a similar experience or if any of you could help me out Please share it here. It would be GREAT!
Also just one more thing- Any of you seen any DRASTIC or worse changes in battery life of your Galaxy S7 after the Android Nougat 7.0 update? Please share your thoughts here and do suggest how you solved the problem. (My battery drains so fast that I sometimes charge it twice a day. I don't even use my phone for half of the day because I'll be at school and still the battery drain is bad! )
Factory reset. Backup your data via kies and then reset it.
Change your battery
What firmware version are you running? There's at least one version of Nougat that has issues with this

Hey man!?
The screen shot attached has my software info. Check it out and tell me if it's one of the versions with the problem.
Thanks!
Hmm... and after the factory reset with no apps installed you are still rebooting?
Why dont you try to reflash your firmware via odin.
Download it from sammobile and reflash it.

Possibly. I can vouch for it being fixed on DQCF onwards, which is newer than DQC4. The temporary fix seems to be to use as little RAM as possible(try to cut down on background apps until the next update). That firmware isn't terribly old though. I would actually agree with trying a reflash first.

I think it is also possible to reinstall the same firmware with Smart Switch from the menu "Emergency Software Recovery and Initialisation". It's like Odin but much simpler especially for beginners. As for me, I am still in DQBO and I await the update DQD7 which is beginning to be deployed in some countries. If this is not going to solve the problem, I will try to reinstall the fimware with Smart Switch. What do you think ?

If it's restarting due to the firmware bug then DQD7 will most definitely fix it. Beware of the emergency recovery though. Ive not used Smart Switch but the "initialization" part sounds like it would wipe the device, though that could fix any issues. Backup first, if you can.
HI
New to the forum - all help/ideas appreciated.
I've been having a problem for a few weeks that the battery shows 100% all the time. Obviously that's great in theory except when it then suddenly shuts down at the end of the day without warning! So I need to fix this so I can return to using/charging my phone as normal. I'm on a Moto G 3rd Gen phone, using android 5.1.1. I've tried using external battery monitoring apps - all show 100%. I've tried clearing the Cache Partition, doing a battery calibration (using an app). I'm reluctant to do a full factory reset (unless that's the overwhelming advice) due to the admin of backing up music, photos, videos etc.
Last thing to point out is my phone keeps asking me to upgrade to Marshmallow, which I've resisted so far given I love my phone and how well it works (or did until now). Don't know if that's relevant or not.
Any help/ideas/more info needed please let me know.
Thanks all
NB
Not a single idea? Nothing at all? Hard to believe I'm the only one ever to have experienced this.

OK so I updated to Marshmallow and no change in the battery status. Still showing 100% all the time. Thanks anyway.
Anyone got anything else I can try?

Let's try this. Download stock marshmallow ROM and flash it through fastboot ( clean flash )
Read all steps carefully before flashing
You will loose all your data, take backup before doing that.
Or try different custom ROM

Why are you so convinced the problem is the ROM? I'm no expert but it seems unlikely given it worked great for 18 months and the battery problem didn't coincide with any upgrade/update.
