Super High Battery Drain!

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.

My s7 crashes (app/UI has stopped) whenever I try to connect to new wifi network...

The problem appeared after upgrade to nougat. I tried factory reset, it was ok for the first hours and now, the problem returned.
Anyone facing the same problems?
Phone not rooted, running on official rom and problems occurs even in safe mode....

Hi
How did you upgrade?
OTA , flashing??
If OTA did you upgrade al your apps , maybe one of them is making trouble
If flashing , how? and also did you upgrade your apps

Hey, thanks for the answer. It was OTA. I suppose all apps are up to date since I restored to factory settings and re-installed them.
The problem is still there even in safe mode...

Hi
yeah is odd , i would think it has to be app related .....
When you get the error ..after you introduce the password? what about if you ask your phone to forget your old connection , it allows you to connect to the new one then?
I would try to wipe dalvik and cache from recovery and /or reflash stock rom again..maybe something went wrong at least the modem

I tried to wipe the cache with no success. I am on a trip right now, and I cannot wipe the dalvik for the moment.
I figured out a walkthrough though using a third party app called "WIFI manager". I even managed to install a certificate and use it for a connection to an "eduroam" network...

Galaxy S7 restarts randomly!

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.

Battery Stuck at 100%

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.

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.

Question Help ! No wifi and bluetooth scanning

Hi friends,
Since yesterday, my wifi and bluetooth don't work anymore. When enabling them, it scans nothing . I've made a factory reser without any psuccess !
Never seen an issue like this on any phone...
Thanks for your help guys

Have you tried restarting the phone? I had 1 time yesteday too, suddenly, the phone was idle, and when I checked Wifi found nothing. Restarted and then it works again. Not sure if related to March update or some other stuffs

Wow...after a factory reset, that's pretty much it!
You can try doing the reset network settings button (you can search it in the search bar in Settings or find it in the Internet setting on top right button [wrench and reset circle]), but I can't imagine it doing better than a factory reset.
The best/last thing that can be suggested, since it states you are rooted in your sig, is to flash the latest Full Factory image (March) and/or with the "-w" intact (since you stated that you did a factory reset so I imagine your phone is wiped anyways) and see if that doesn't fix the issue. The best 3 methods to achieve this is using the online Android Flash Tool, the tool PixelFlasher that can be found here on XDA, or manually using platform-tools (you must've used one of these in the past to be rooted, so I assume you're familiar).
Hopefully you get it figured out. Worst case, the phone is still under manufacturer's warranty and you should be able to get it replaced with a refurbished if it truly isn't resolved...

Mmmm...when you stated you "factory reset", it wasn't clear whether it was from the OS system setting or when flashing...
I don't think there is a "better clean" way to flash and/or reset the phone. If you're not flashing/sideloading OTA (which you aren't)...
It (reset network) was a very long shot, but worth exploring just in case it hadn't been tried yet...
I mean, I guess you can try Android Flash Tool and even go as far as to flash to both slots and relock bootloader to get a pure, stock status and see if the problem truly sticks that way. You've already wiped the phone, so I doubt this could hurt or you lose anything important at this point. But I can't imagine dirty flashing the latest March update (or even including disabling the verity stuff) wouldnt've addressed or reset things to set the issue straight...
If it's still there after relocking the bootloader and flashing to both slots, then it's warranty exchange time (if you ever want to resolve the issue)...
*most likely the flashing somehow wrecked the system board radio enough...
If/When this works, you'll need go through the trouble of unlocking the bootloader, and reflashing the Full Factory image with disabling the verity & validation stuff, before rooting again.

Ok I think it's a hardware problem. When I shake my phone, I hear something moving.
I dropped it from my bed saturday night. The wifi module must be disconnected.
Let's send it to Google....

Are you sure that what you are hearing move when you shake the phone is just the OIS for the camera? All phones with OIS will make some noise when you shake them.
