Hi everyone
So, I recently encountered a battery issue with my Honor 6... Let me explain.
Device Details:
- Model: Honor 6 (H60-L04)
- OS: Stock Android 4.4.2 (EMUI 3.0)
- Never rooted or unlocked
I bought this device in June, at first everything was ok. For two months I used the best phone I could ever get for 299€, here in Italy.
Now, about a week ago, I started to notice some strange behavior of the battery. It was like suddenly the charge level dropped incredibly, leaving the device without energy pretty fast.
This morning was the worst. After an hour of standard usage (Wi-Fi ON, Social Apps, a couple of YouTube 1080p videos) the battery reached 89-90%. Before I go to sleep, as I usually do, I turned off my phone. Then, when I woke up and turned it back on, the battery level was 50%!!!
I know that this kind of behavior could be considered normal after a couple of years, for a Lithium battery, but I used this device only for TWO MONTHS! Do you have any idea if this is a common issue? Or maybe it's MY phone that is faulty. Hope you can help.
UPDATE: Day 2, same exact behavior. Turn off with 91% or something like that. Turned back on in the morning, battery level 49%
Suggest you head to the thread of extreme battery life by Vaisakh 7 and post the dumps per his OP (please google having trouble in copying link)
Pretty sure you will get an answer

Hi,
I owned a Huawei Ascend Mate 7 Gold 9 months ago, and I was very happy because I could use the phone for more than 2 days withouth charging. But recently, the battery started to drain VERY FAST .
For instance, if I go to sleep with the phone at 100%, when I wake up (8h later) , the battery is at 70% or less. With my investigation, I tried/found that:
-The problem is not caused by deep sleep mode, or at least "CPU Spy" shows that the phone is able to do it.
-I tried wipe (factory reset/partition/cache) with no results.
-I calibrated the battery but the problem persists, also I tried charging with 1A charger.
-"GSam Battery Monitor - Root" shows that 47% of the battery goes to "Android System" and another 20% goes to "Kernel (Android OS)".
The issue started at the last week, and the first thing I did was updating Lolipop (I was using it for more than 4 months) to Marshmallow 6.0 (B561). I don't know what do to now, ATM I'm underclocking the CPU, but that's a temporally solution. I always take the battery with a lot of care, I don't know why is happening this.
If someone could help me, I will be very thankfull .

same here
i have exactly the same situation with u and couldn't find a solution yet.
battery issues too
what firmware you running? I have an EU version of the phone, updated to 5.1.1 and it was dying fast. I then updated to 6.0 Malaysian rom from their website and it started to do the 2 day life. However the phone seems to just freeze and sometimes just switch off, so I am thinking of downgrading and then see if its the software or its a hardware failure. I have warranty
I couldn't find any solution yet, so I'm going to downgrage to the 4.X. I don't see benefits from Marshmallow update, also I can't hide the taskbar, so...
Actually I think I'm using CH version B561.
Edit: Fine, I can't find a downgrage pack for my version.
Upgraded from EMUI 4 (MM) to EMUI 5 (Nougat) a few days ago.
My SoT has dropped from about 6.5 hours to 4 hours, but mostly because the phone seems to never go into deep sleep.
I used to have a standby drain of maybe 1% per hour. Now it's around 4-5%!
I have the same apps exempt from screen-off-close: Slack, Google Voice, Nine (for work email), Netguard (for ad blocking). Android OS and Android System are by far and away the highest battery users regardless of whether I've been browsing or if it's on standby.
Any ideas?
yeah ,me too i got better battery life when i was in mm. nougat sucks the battery...they need fix it .. via next small update
try greenify to make some app sleep
Its recommended after huge updates to do backup the files and hard reset the phone

Yup, did that. Did a full factory reset and installed from scratch. The only thing I restored via HiSuite were my texts.

same problem here while everything done for better battery optimize nothing went well, B360

Same here. On L04 B360 Nougat update, and Android OS and Android System are pretty much always the top 2 battery consumers....
Same here. Down from 25 hours to 16 hours. Same apps.
I am pretty sure that so called Nougat b360 update, pushed from Huawei to our devices is some kind Beta. I have notification bar flickering when unlock the phone, when uninstall an app through Settings- Apps the app icon still persist in home screen, after restart of the phone if i push Settings menu i have black screen for couple of seconds and the device is freezing, the apps continue to work after screen lock, although i forbid them to work, battery life was impressive for the first two days but then bang... No more than 4- 4.5h SOT from 100% to 5% of battery with same usage of the phone... Factory reset couple of times, same story.
The most strange thing is that i had the same problems with my ex Huawei P9 running on so called official Nougat.
The upgrade to EMUI5 is a mess. The battery was completely drained overnight although the phone was turned off (powered down). It was at 90% when I turned it off at midnight, and totally dead at 8:00 AM.
There are numerous other problems with the upgrade.
I chatted with Huawie live support, and they claim that Huawie does not push upgrades, and that the upgrade came from Android not from them.
I am not convinced. The upgrade had Huawie written all over it.
You can roll back to Android 6. The Huawie folks have a file on their official support site to download and roll back.
One thing I forgot to mention.
Nougat on Honor 8's battery drain rate matches Nougat's battery drain rate on my old Nexus 6p... the reason I sold it for the Honor 8.
Sigh. Maybe it's something in 7.0's Doze.
I think the best option here is to peroform a factory reset. This will probably help.
Since I turned on "battery save" mode in battery settings two days ago, 6h sot is come back.
Like I read in another thread, seems to be the old "intelligent profile" in MM. Deactivated it's like be always in "performance profile". This and save data profile in background are working well in my device.
Try guys and tell us.

Already tried that twice, unfortunately. No improvement.

Mabey you can do a rollback. After that a factory reset and after that update again.
You can roll back to Huawie Android 6.
Huawie has a file to download (with instructions) on where to place the file on your phone's internal storage (not on the SD card), and what buttons to press to initiate the roll back.
You can download it from Huawie's official site, here:

Please report back so others can benefit from your success.
Today is even worse than before.
32 minutes SOT so far. Battery at 81%.
Phone Idle at 12%, Cell Standby at 5%, Chrome at 19%, Android System at 19%, Android OS at 16%.
Going to roll back to MM. This is even worse than my old 6P.

Hi, there is only one update.app file in the downloaded rar file. Should I have to use the same update file for both stages -- intermediate and 6.0 -- described in the instruction file?
Well... I ended the day with 3h 17m SoT doing just browsing and texting, with 2% battery left.
Downloading rollback now...
I had stopped using my Note 5 since the last 5 months or so and had replaced it with a Nexus 5X. This was mainly due to the poor battery life on the note 5 - which I thought was partly due to poor cell signal in my house and partly due to deteriorating battery.
However decided to give it a shot again with the Nougat update - and I have been seriously amazed.. Going back from Nexus 5X to Note 5 after 5 months - there is a big difference in speed. THe Nexus 5X has had Nougat for a while - so I had a good idea about the idle drain improvements. But the Note 5 - after the NOugat update has been nothing short of excellent for me. Idle battery drain has gone down from 6-10% over 1-2 hours (on Marshmallow) to about 1-2% over 2 hours on Nougat.
Also liking the new and improved Touchwiz interface. I took my Note 5 listing off of swappa and am now thinking of selling my Nexus 5X !
Nougat on Note 5 was definitely worth the wait for me and I am glad I did not sell the phone
Nougat is having multiple problems on the 5. Check the web.
My gmail will not update unless I go into it and manually check email. I have had several times the phone freezes. I have to hold down home, volume up and power to get it back.
Receiving phone calls, the external speaker is on until I tap the speaker icon 3 times.
I'm not happy with it at this point.

Same here. Hope samsung does not **** the battery life with a new update or patch like they did last time.

A lot of times, a dirty update can cause issues. Try Factory Restore on your phones and if the problems persist, then flash Nougat using Odin.
I have absolutely stellar battery performance after disabling all the Verizon bloatware with Samsung Package Disabler. Before disabling bloatware it was a day and a half, not it's like ~4 days battery time.
Mine works a lot better with noughat specially with battery life. Samsung ****s up updating process some how and drains battery in marshmellow seems to be dixed now.
Just got an update to the Nougat update. So....we'll see

I'm not sure but I have worse battery life either on stock or custom rom. The phone sits there by itself with 8-10% drain per hour, and battery usage does not show any abnormal activity.
I'm seriously considering to switch back to MM if I can.

i have better batt life with nougat but it changed a lot of settings & notifications on just about everything until i selected what notifications i wanted..
i'm not a power user but doze was improved carrying a pocket.
mine's stock.
Have an S8+ bought a couple of years ago from a friend as an ex contract EE as he had been upgraded to an S10. Factory reset with sim unlock to allow EE PAYG SIM
Running stock non rooted 7.1.1 with no issues apart from due to reading these forums I'm now paranoid about my battery.
For about 90% of my day it sits plugged into a charger acting as a wireless hotspot for other devices, when I am out and about it seems to hold charge well but if I am using video calling or running with GPS on i can lose about 20% an hour.
It's currently at 82.01% and 701 cycles using the SAM info tool.
Apart from that it's fine. No bulging, no software issues. Do I need to be concerned?

Edited, not 7.1.1, I meant Android 9 one UI. My tablet is 7.1.1
I think that is normal behavior. Every phone battery will lose its maximum capacity overtime. 3 years+ battery might need to be replaced if you have concerns. I have the S8+ as well with over 1000 charge cycles.. with moderate usage I can still reach 4.5 hours screen on time. Video calls and GPS navigation with screen ON will drain battery.
