Good day to all the people using the Honor 6 H60-L04,
I currently have a Moto X 2013 and I love almost everything about it. The one thing that really makes me mad about the phone is the battery. I can get 6:30 hours of SoT during normal use, but during Standby / Sleep mode the phone eats a minimum of 2.0% to 3.0% drain per hour. It does not matter if the phone is even in Airplane mode, it drains about the same.
Now, I am looking for a phone that will not need to have everything turned off just to have 1 day of regular use and to have a small drain per hour when the phone is not being used.
Could some users share their average Standby time on their Honor 6? Other than not being splashproof (Why couldn't Huawei follow the steps of the Honor 3?), the Honor 6 is the most attractive option for me right now due to price and performance, just need to know how is the avg drain per hour when screen off is to make a decision.
At night my battery was eat 1%
So in about 8hrs it drops 1%? If you use GSAM Battery Monitor it would say a little more than 0.1%/hour or similar?
Running the latest CM11. I lose maybe 4% every 24 hours in standby. My last battery cycle to 4% was 6 hours screen time, 2 days 14 hours total.
I received the Honor 6 on Friday, very happy with it! Tried this last night, and between 1am and 9 this morning it was only 1%, with wifi on all the time.

Is CM11 that much better than the stock ROM as far as battery life goes?

Hi,
Question, was it 1% battery drop total from 1AM till 9AM, so for example from 100% to 99% or a 1% battery drop per hour every hour from 1AM till 9AM, so 100% to 92%

Hi,
Those are some solid numbers. Would you consider yourself a heavy user? How did you use the phone during that period of time?

A lot of idle time when not using the phone. But when using the phone it's mostly for browsing.

1% in total. I went from 27 to 26% overnight.
Still very happy with the H60 battery-life, I consider myself as a heavy user (whatsapp, facebook, twitter, etc) and I get around 6h of screen-on time.

Wow,
that is awesome. Too bad I found out that the phone is very weak in the sound department. I saw samples of videos taken in noisy environments (concert) and the sound was awful. Also, some reviews and users report that the sound coming out of the headphone jack is also of very low quality compared to other phones on the same price range.

I'm a medium to heavy user at home, browsing on Chrome, WhatsApp, YouTube. I usually get 6 hours of on screen time on heavy use with WiFi.
But if I am at the office, I will put my phone on 2G GSM just for replying messages and this will make my phone last for 1 day 12 hours at most with probably 3 hours on screen time.
Sound wise, the speakers at the back of the phone is not that great because it is a mono speaker. I am not so much of a music/sound person so that does not bother me as long as the volume is loud enough for me to hear my phone rings.
Earphones/headphones wise, i am happy with the quality of sound and I am only using my cheap CreaTive earphones.
Thanks for the feedback. For the battery, it is odd that it would last so little on 2G considering what was said before that the phone has excellent stand by time battery usage. If I was you, I would check if your phone is going into sleep mode while at the office, it could be something is keeping it awake.
For the sound, I am a heavy music listener and this is a deal breaker. On top of that, the audio during video recording is bad, and you won't notice until that special moment when you want to record a video and then you play it back and the sound is horrible with clipping and distortion (like on my old Galaxy S2).

Yeah like i said, replying messages on office days. So i always check my phone every minute. The culprit is too many incoming WhatsApp Group chats.
I've tried using the protected app feature and kill all background apps. It does make a big difference, i have seen my phone going more than 2 days unplugged with battery life still remaining more than 10%.
So it depends on the user really. Im too lazy to kill apps nowadays, because to me 1full day of battery life with 3G & medium usage is good enough. .
I have bought brand new honor 6, 2 weeks ago..
I have noticed that its draining very fast. 5-6% just 6hours night standby. no Wifi. 0 App is running after screen turned off.
Closed all recent open apps from history.
See two screenshots.
3% drained, for 28 minutes of wifi on (use for just making screenshots)
Ps:I have upgraded on marshmellow
Any solution will appreciated.
Battery is ok,but I dont count every single percent and on latest version of the stock rom screen on time is around 5 hours when you install all your apps and stuff.Phone is good overall,but its not worth upgrading from moto x 2013.Better stick with it and if you care about battery that much,install a custom rom/kernel or get powerbank.

Awake 100% - so theres something running.
Press "consumption level" or install betterbatterystats (if rooted).
I was wondering if somebody could share his/her experience with the Mi 4c regarding battery life.
As I am a heavy user and don´t want my phone to die on me on 2pm I´d really apreciate it if somebody could tell me how good the battery life is on this phone.
I'm also a heavy user and i'm happy with the batterylife on MIUI. I get the same as i got with my Sony Z1 Compact, and those Compact phones are known for their good batterylife. I mean if you come from a phone with 5000 mAh battery then you might be dissapointed i think
No, its really good. I had other phones which i had to recharge sometimes more than 2 times a day, but the Mi4c brings me through the day
So yesterday I had about 6 hours of screen on time, and it was off the mains from 8:30 am to 1 am, i.e. 14.5 hours. Three to four hours of 3G, half an hour of GPS tracking, and otherwise mainly chatting and browsing and using a few apps. This beat my every expectation, my previous phones would last barely 10 hours with only 4 hours of screen on time.
Edit: this is with Cyanogenmod. MIUI didn't seem to cut me such slack, especially not when Google Sync was on (which always timed out because I'm in China where Google is blocked).
---------- Post added at 03:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:53 AM ----------
I did notice, however, that once the phone goes dead because of an empty battery, it won't start until you actually charge it for a few minutes first. Or it may start and die straight away. My Nexus 5 would always still start with an empty battery.
Gsmarena battery life test
Gsmarena did run few test on Mi4C. Here are the results:
Endurance rating: 52h
Talk time: 18:31h
Web browsing: 9:32h
Video Playback: 10:47h
For comparison (LG G2, Xiaomi Mi 4, LG G4:
LG G2 (3000mAh)
Endurance rating: 81h
Talk time: 25:15h
Web browsing: 11:42h
Video Playback: 9:28h
Xiaomi Mi 4 (3080mAh)
Endurance rating: 68h
Talk time: 18:15h
Web browsing: 9:31h
Video Playback: 7:00h
LG G4 (3000mAh)
Endurance rating: 54h
Talk time: 16:40h
Web browsing: 7:54h
Video Playback: 7:23h
Web browsing and video playback times are very good on Mi4C but endurance rating is rather low. That means that Mi4C consumes quite a bit battery in standby. However that is easily fixed with couple tweaks. It seems that Mi4C have good battery life :good:
CM12.1 battery use attached. It's weird that (as I've said on a reddit review) standby battery use is pretty low for me, though the meter does seem to drop quickly when I use the phone. I think the battery might need calibrating, but it seems good enough got my needs!
For those who can't see the attached screenshots: 16hrs off charger, 2hrs 38mins SOT, mixture of browsing reddit, chrome and MX Player
I'm considering to get the mi4c to replace my Nexus 5 just for the battery life.
Is it worth to lose NFC, wireless charging and LTE (no 800 band)?

I think these questions can only be answered by yourself...for me, NFC is not important, i never used it in my other phones. And do you need wireless charging when you get through the day with one charge? Also, i personally dont use LTE because i find 3G is fast enough on a phone.
Over all those things i really prefer battery life. I once had a Sony Xperia V, with very poor battery life and i had to switch to 2G when i was home and used WiFi, or turn WiFi off when i was outside. And much more, just to save a bit off battery. Then i bought a Sony Z1 Compact and i didnt had to do all those things, which was really a joy. Just leave everything on and get through the day. And its the same with my Mi4c. No need for battery savers, tasker or such things anymore
But like i said, you might prefer other things.
You guys are using the unoficial cm 12.1 build or which cm rom ? could you pls post a link to the rom please? i am using the developer miui rom and the battery is very bad

Yes, the unofficial CM12.1, its the only one at the moment
One last thing about this cm 12.1 rom, how is the camera quality ? and with the miui 5.10.22 developer rom i am experiencing a weird issue with messenger, when i get a new message and i open to see it, if i already had messenger opened i dont see the new message, i have to click the back button to go to friend list, then it like refreshes, and if i go back to the chat, i can see the message.
Thanks

I was really surprised about the camera quality. All CM ROMs on other phones had a very poor picture quality compared to the stock roms. And camera is very important for me. Our unofficial CM12.1 has the same picture quality like MIUI in my opinion. No idea how the dev made this happen, but its great
Regarding the messenger, maybe its an app problem and not a MIUI problem? I don't know...
Thanks a lot, I am really thinking about flashing, eventhough I have always been afraid to flash unoficial builds, since I dont understand how they make them without the kernel sources. But the battery life is so horrible on the developer rom
So far, battery life is respectable for me as a second phone. 1.5 days off the charger, a bit less then 4.5 hours SOT, mostly YouTube, web browsing, offline game. Stock stable chinese MIUI 7 ROM, rooted and greenify.

Totally agree and this with CM, where normally battery life is bad
guys battery life is special bad when in options of wifi is on scanning always available.
i use miui xiaomi.eu rom number 5,10,22 and i finde it best at the moment.
1.58minutes of gps 38min of talk 4g on all day about 30min browsing and on the end of the day stil 35% about 2h of sot.
My battery life is pretty good. Regardless of whatever I do during the day, I can easily squeeze 4 hours SoT from the phone. My battery depletes the fastest whenever I listen to music while keeping 4G on the entire time as my phone is rarely in deep sleep, and idle battery usage becomes higher than screen usage. This is actually one of the more annoying issues; my music player seems to drain quite a bit of the battery as MediaServer is always on even when I'm not playing music - the app icon stays in the notification bar unless I actually terminate the app.
The best I got out of the phone was, according to the attached images, 5 hours SoT at 39% battery. This was with WiFi on the entire time, screen to about half brightness and middling reception quality.
I'm currently running the 5.10.8 MIUI EU weekly build. Quite interested in flashing CM12.1 when the bugs get cleaned up.

Yes, I use all of those. Keep in mind this is pretty abnormal for my phone. Typically, it would be around 3.5-4 hours of SoT at 40% battery, so you shouldn't get your hopes up too much. From memory, all I was doing was Reddit and some web surfing, with Whatsapp, Gmail and Messenger set to sync while phone was asleep. If I were listening to music, the battery drain would've been quite a bit more. And there were wakelocks but they don't really show on the stat screen.

I have a problem with CM and Mokee..The battery drops 2% for time (Instead of 1) very often..And i can do only 3 h of active display..In idle the battery doesn't drop down a lot..It can stay also an hour on 100%, but then when I turn on the screen it drops 3-4%..Can anyone help me to solve this problem?
Been getting about 14 to 16 hrs of battery life and about 4 hrs of SOT for the week. Main usage is web surfing, emails, whatsapp, YouTube and music streaming, no gaming.
Two days ago, I enabled the boost+ app and optimize most apps that don't need to run at full resolution. The screen on time seems to have improved a lot. Got 5hr 56mins of SOT with 14hr 46mins battery life.
This is much better than my HTC 10 after the nougat update. SOT approx 4hrs. I have boost+ running too.
Will monitor for a few more days to see if it is a one off performance.

Pretty good life!! mine gets about 3.5 hrs SOT, and about 13 hour standby, I also have boost+ on too. Curious as to what your brightness setting is, mine about 50% with adaptive on. I am rather heavier on my battery and network, so it doesnt surprise me that you're getting better life. (mine was better when I was on holiday with a better network connection).
About 45% level with adaptive on too. I think setting boost+ to run almost every app at HD resolution, excluding photo apps, helps a lot.
Good network is key too.
I am very satisfied with battery life when on WiFi 4,5-5 hours SOT), but when on LTE I get around 3 hours of SOT. I just enabled Boost+ to see if it improves battery life at all. I don't want to enable though FullHD for apps.
Do you use location services in high accuracy mode?
Here is mine, Charged up to 96% used until now.
Battery had become a bit crazy lately after updates to tons of apps. Just updated the firmware yesterday. Will monitor again.
Hi guys, hope everyone is doing good.
I wanted to ask that from past 2-3 days I'm facing very quick battery drain on u ultra. I'm hardly getting 2.5 hrs of Sot. Phone is heating too much.
Before this I was seeing around 4 hrs+ SOT that too with 1hr+ of casual gaming. I don't know what is wrong but I'm worried. My device is heating that's all what I'm able to notice. Any suggestions are most welcome. Except this, love the device.
Thank you.
It happened to me after updates of some apps.
The only way I solved it was to shutdown the phone completely. Wait for about a minute before powering up again.
Thinking about getting the U Ultra. Do you feel that the battery life is good enough?

Actually depends on what your daily usage looks like. If I'm on holiday or the whole day at home, one charge easily lasts for 2-3 days. But at university with every sync /bt/WiFi etc enabled and 50% brightness I get about 8h with high amount of screen on time (50-80%)

I usually use the phone for 2-4 hours per day but more hours during travel.
How much does the battery drain during standby? For instance, I you leave the phone in standby during the night, how many percent does the battery decrease?
Mine loses about 4% overnight (8 hours) which I think is exceptionally good!
For me it highly depends on which ROM and which apps I have installed. Recently the battery drain was about 1%/hour (150 apps, all syncing etc on), but right now after cleaning up a bit and nstalling greenify I'm back at ~3-6% per night.
I can get the black U Ultra for €291.99 here: https://www.eglobalcentral.eu/htc-u-ultra-64gb-4g-dual-sim-sim-free-unlocked-black.html
Tested the phone yesterday at a local shop here in Sweden, felt great in the hand and I really like the design. However, the battery life may be a deal breaker. Most of the phones I have used during the last 2 years has droppped 1-3 percent during night and I usually got 6 hours SOT over 24 hours. The last phone I used with weak battery life was Nexus 6, it gave med 3-4 hours SOT during 24h and that was slightly annoying. I get the impression that U Ultra is comparable to Nexus 6 in the battery department. :-/
That's actually a very accurate comparison. I replaced my Nexus 6 with the HTC Ultra and I'm getting almost identical SOT and battery life.

I get about 24 hours of mixed usage, which means I need to charge it up every morning, but I never seem to be able to get more that 4 hours SOT. Also, the rapid charger is slower than the Nexus 6. It takes about 1 hour and 50 minutes for a full charge.
I installed and configured kernel Adiutor/CPU Kernel state #on_demand and turned off #core_4. Now my battery/system working 2 whole days before charging!
Guys if i go to optimize apps and turn it on, Wen I leave it turns off again. Is this normal? I restart the phone and I already did a factory reset because the phone was updated alot the first time I use it, but it's the same. I'm getting about 3-4 hours off sot depending on the use. Maybe less. What do you guys think?
i got 5hrs and a few mins with the first charge (light use, browsing, installing apps, tweakin settings and 35mins spotify)
Hello,
I've sold my S7 and bought a Pixel phone because of updates and design. It is very elegant phone and very very fast. But I've got a problem, battery life sucks seriously.
Here's some screenshots.
Because it is a new Pixel, don't think there is a faulty. I did Geekbench 4 battery benchmark and got 1700-2000 points and got over 162k Antutu.
Is it normal? Should I roll back to Nougat? Or else I will send it back and Pixel XL. I cannot afford Pixel 2 or Pixel 2 XL.
Rolling back to Nougat will do nothing good. Did you buy a new Pixel or an used one?
Same here. Bought a used Pixel 128 GB model last week that provides only 3 hours of SOT with normal usage (browsing, music, videos).
It's on Oreo 8.1 with latest security patch and NFC, location turned off. Still no good.
Excluding gaming, for chrome browsing, reddit, YouTube and Instagram plus a few other misc apps, I get approximately 3.5 hours on data and 4+ on wifi. Rma brand new set from Oct 17.
SD 820 is not really known for its battery efficiency vs the 835.

Your first 5 apps listed are using about 50% of your battery. On my pixel XL I could easily get 8 sot if I wanted. You should look for ways to reduce battery useage, like battery optimization and limiting power to apps not in use. What does the acc battery app say your battery health is? My battery preformed better after installed dp2, but was very good before installing dp2, it just got better.
I've got 100% battery health. Now I get 3-4 SOT, 10-14 hours standby. It is not the best, but it's ok.
How can you limit power to apps not in use? You mean deactivating background process? I did that already.

That doesn't sound particularly bad. I normally end a day on about 20-30% with 3 hours of screen time or so. I know it's a bit of a cliche, but it really is hard to compare two setups like for like. Even SOT is not a great measure because if you watch a 2 hour downloaded movie on Netflix with low screen brightness (for example) that will consume A LOT less power than playing a game or browsing the web for 2 hours... but both will just show on battery stats the same. Let's not get into whether you are a user of Google location services (for things like Google fit or Assistant etc), or streaming Podcasts over bluetooth...
Some people have already reported better battery life on Android P - though I take that with a slight pinch of salt as every Android release supposedly did that already.
Hi,
After the update of noticed very bad battery usage barely 5 hours SOT
wat about you people?
I've noticed a battery drop, but it seems that mine started when I switched over to Google Messages RCS.
Mine is actually slightly better. 6-7 hours sot, up from 5-6
Please share your settings regarding the battery etc.
I'm slightly better on A10 too.
No change to battery settings, using the SD variant on at&t. 2 Gmail accounts, 1 Yahoo account, sync is turned on. It doesn't seem to make any difference if I'm web surfing, playing games, on forums, watching movies. The only thing that drains it more is streaming video.
brand new G9700 Snapdragon
after unboxing immediately update to Android 10 via OTA
AOD off, middle powersave mode, real dark theme, debloated, Wifi or LTE, sync off, adaptive battery only, no root...
used 80% after 2d 20h with 6h SOT
I'm really happy with the battery performance and Android 10 power management!
Mine is the same or slightly better. But I did a factory reset after the January update.
Mine was fine after updating to 10 but since the last security update to 10 it has been behaving differently, really chewing the battery too.
