Hi all,
I am facing some battery issues for a month now. It dropped suddenly from 3 days autonomy to 20 hours and can't finf the reason.
Tests I did
0) Identify apps consuming battery (google service and so on...). Did many changes but at the end same problem.
1) Update from B521 to B860 (OTA)
From now on, all tests are donr without any additionnal applications
2) Wipe cache + wipe data
3) Downgrade to B521 (first B800 then B521)
4) Test in stand-by mode. Still having the issue! This is wierd to me. Battery drains exactly the same with phone in stand-by mode or not!
5) Test with different SIM cards
6) Test forcing 3G/2G (no 4G). A bit better (about 1 day without using the phone)
8) Test without SIM nor google account connected... same issue
Any ideas?

Thank you for your suggestion.
I'm currently running "Spectrum" theme. Which I guess is the default one as I haven't change anything since reinstall.
I'm facing battery problems since I'm running Marshmallow...
In battery settings it shows that the display is draining battery the most. There's no specific app shown.
If I get 2 and a half hours of screen on time I can be happy...
Sorry for not having an answer but I'm feeling with you.
Just installed "Better Battery Stats" and "Wakelocks detector lite" even if I am not rooted (followed tutorials for non rooted devices).
Hope I get more info tgis way.
I'll post results for experts analysis
Just uploaded better battery stats dump after first full discharge (see 1rst post)
If someone can have look, as I can't see anything strange...
I guess it is the update, it seems it's not fully optimized yet.

I downgrade to B521 and even B390. Same problem!
Do you think I have a hardware issue.
Battery tools says battery is "good".
Is anybody see something stange on BBS attached on 1st post?
Hello, I hope I can help with this information. i've been all day with airplane mode and just Wi-Fi on and with 3h 36m of screen on time. The second picture shows how the system is half of the time awake and the other half in deep sleep. I always need to charge this phone every night, because when I'm at home I'm almost always below 20% of the battery. I'm at the latest version B860, but I've have had this battery life since I bought this phone like three months ago.

Hello Vicioxis,
In my case I used to have at least 2 days without needed to charge the device. It changed suddenly to 20h max without change the way I use the phone.
Actuality, it doesn't seems to change anything wether I'm using the phone or not...
I added some thumbmails and a new BBS dump file in case somebody sees something wrong:crying:
As you can see, the device is mostly in deep sleep but I have a lot of wakelocks!
Has anyone here installed Kangvip ROM or the stock or any other? Also I feel the smartphone almost always warm at the back-right. Is this normal? Should I try to install any custom ROM to see if this improves?
Hi to every one,
I have mate 9 (MHA-L29C185) before was in B126 and I got OTA update to B138.
before the battery life was amazing and sometimes lastest 2 days without charging but now after said update I am charging the battery every single day with the same usage as before!
could anyone please advise WHY?
No difference here after the update, or if there is it's too small to notice. I'm still getting two full days of use.
Were your battery saving settings changed by the update?
Have you added any new apps?
I had the same experience but it's been getting better. I'm still not back to 10h SOT but I can easily reach 8-9 so all's good.
I assume that after upgrading your device needs to reindex everything again and that might explain the poor battery life right after upgrading. My advice is give it a couple of days to settle down.

That doesn't look right to me. Unless you have something important running in the background your Awake time should not be much more than Screen time

Please see my battery usage details & advice
Settings > Battery > Close Apps after screen lock.
Select All.
Leave it run for a day.
I updated to the new update as soon as I took it out of the package. I was losing about 3% per hour even during deep sleep. I would go to sleep at 12 and wake up at 6 and be between 80 to 85%. My LG V20 lost a total of 1 to 2% overnight. I tried resetting the phone, playing around with settings and setting applications to close after screen lock. I then found out it was the wifi killing my battery. The next night with wifi off but data on I lost 1% overnight. Now I get about 2 full days on a charge and around 8 hours SOT.
Especially that WiFi+ sucks a lot of juice! I have it off.
Gents,
Yesterday night before I sleep, the battery was 98% I closed the mobile and went to the bed.
a morning I wake up, and the battery drain from 98% to 80% while it was STBY and no activity!
I check the consumer (see attached) and found mail was from hardware & software especially Android OS!
Please anyone can help? before I update to B138 the mobile was amazing and during the night might only drop 3-4% which is normal, not 18% now :crying::crying:
Have the same experience with 138, draining 20% over the night, my iphone 7 Plus placed side by side with the Mate 9 drains 1% over night. Have done a factory reset but still the same issue. And dont tell my to close all apps when powering down the screen - it is a smartphone and not a dumbphone. Did not buy it to kill all benefits with a smartphone and big battery
looks like some apps hogging your phone so cant go to sleep and by the looks of it wifi scanning is on which keeps the wifi module on while its off consumes more batter, also have a look at the apps with push notification or apps which run in he background. At battery management check the apps which close or not after screen lock.

Whatever they say the actualization for the B138 radically changed the battery consumption ..... up to B126 was fine.
I did not realize because in the changelog it said that it optimized the consumption of the battery, it really optimized for the worse .... huawei(Idiots) go to sleep because I should have corrected the problem, but they are sprinkling for customers, I'm going to sell mine and I do not want any more xinocas.
greetings
I dont see it getting worse. Its good for me

You're a lucky one ... from the reports I see, all malta is talking bad about this update.
Downgrade do you know how to do it for the C432 B126 Portugal? That's how it worked, because I do not understand any of this.

Granted I'm not getting 10h SOT like I did back with B126 but I'm getting 8-9h now with B138 so no complaints here.
This model has been released only 2½ months ago and I've already seen 2 firmware upgrades. They're clearly active, I wouldn't sweat it.

If it get better or not after the update i don't really care cause in both firmwares i couldn't make the phone die in 1 day and that's what matter.
Hi, I have upgraded to Android 7.0 on my Honor 8 yesterday and since then the battery is draining at an insane pace.
I used to get an overnight standby drain of 3-5% on average with 6.0 and it is well over 25% with 7.0. Something called "Android System" has consumed a disproportionate majority of the battery. A similar problem is reported here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/help/battery-dropped-40-nougat-honor-8-t3558197
The background app settings haven't been changed -- have about same 6-7 apps like Whatsapp, Outlook, etc. However, when I open the current background apps, I see a few unprotected apps (like Maps) also running in the background. Is this a bug?
Please help out, if there are any fixes.
Thanks.
try apps like greenify to fix wakelocks

Many users are dealing with this problem and I've reported before.. This update is broke, and shouldn't have been pushed officially. There are a lot of bugs, and the most irritating one is the battery consumption.
And I don't think Honor is going to fix any of it since we're used to them not caring about what we deal with.
My personal experience with the Nougat update was that battery drained quicker than usual for the first few days, then it stabilized to normal levels (i.e. more or less what it had been in Marshmallow). I was expecting this behaviour, since system upgrade clears out battery optimization data, and it takes a couple of days for the OS to learn what to optimize. Also I suggest you recheck your battery saving settings (Both the Huawei version under Battery settings and the Google version under Applications).
And since someone is going to ask anyway: no, I haven't done factory reset. There was no need.
But this was just my personal experience with nougat. It's of course quite possible that for some people there is a real constant battery drain (wouldn't be the first time, I had a similar experience with my old Motorola when I upgraded to Lollipop a couple of years ago).
It's not the update. From my experience, I had this issue since I bought the phone. I would factory reset it all the time and this issue would persist.
It turns out that in my case, I would always turn off LTE and use WCDMA instead. My logic being that WCDMA uses less power, so therefore I would get better battery life. Nope. There's a glitch that happens if you do this and have wifi on, It doesn't let the phone go into deep sleep. Ever. So your battery drains about 20℅ overnight.
The solution for me was to simply leave LTE on, and now my battery consumes like 1℅ overnight.
For those suffering from battery drain, check your consumption and see if Google calendar sync is taking up a lot of it.
I had that issue, and had to manually kill the sync (from the accounts screen).
It seems to be an issue on all Huawei devices on 7.0, the native calendar isn't playing well with sync, and unless you're rooted and can uninstall it, you're stuck. (I'm waiting to root until a patch comes out for all these issues first)
All in all, if this is how Huawei treats their devices, and their customers, I won't buy another one of their devices.
I updated via Charles method, but my mother's L04 still hasn't gotten the update. And probably never will unless I do it manually.
Very disappointing.

Thanks. I was thinking of waiting for a couple of days too. Its just been 12 hours and the battery is almost down to 25% from 100%. If it doesn't improve in the next few days, I'll revert to 6.0 with which I had solid 1.5 days battery life for my usage level.
On my frd 09 i got a update after the nougat update which fixed my battery drain it was around 356 mb big. But since maybe 1-2 weeks already. And my battery drain is lower as on MM
I do feel Nougat on my L14 is draining faster than MM. It's mostly Android System or Android OS so I have no idea what is within that taking the power. There is also a weird bug with LTE enabled when I make a call to another cell phone. Most of the time, my phone says it's ringing on the other side but there's no "ringing" sound on my side. Weird. Turn off LTE and you can hear the ringing.
It is always hard to determine what is going on in these sort of circumstances. For me, EMUI 5 doesn't seem to have badly affected my battery life. I just got almost 3.75 hours SOT using Waze for navigation, and still have about 30% battery. According to the detailed power info, Waze was using 1340.27 mAh.

Just for balance, my experience is more like this one, although I don't think I had to wait days for it to not be a battery drainer. Is everyone in this thread talking about b360? (for whatever variant you have)? I did see this on b320, but have used b360 for about 1-2 months now (Charles) and haven't had any noticeable difference in battery life from Marshmallow. It drains 1-3% / night. Screen on time , say browsing is pretty regularly 5.x hours, and typically I get 2-3 days out of a charge.
I believe everyone that says they've got a problem, but I guess some of us got lucky. Just so it's known: Mine is a US L04*b360 variant.
Note: Just as a possible point of difference. Before I was on b360, I had the phone rooted, with TWRP, and had to wipe the entire thing , rollback to b160 and use Charles to get b360. I never did a reset and I don't turn off functionality. Also, maybe most important. I don't use social media hardly at all. I haven't got Facebook or Twitter installed because I don't like either.
i would suggest a factory reset, then install only essential apps and test it for a couple of days.
L04 here, OTA updated and I'm seeing better battery performance than MM.

Try going into settings, accounts, google.
Look to see if anything looks like its stuck syncing. If there is, turn that off. Go into the app that was stuck, and swype down to cause it to refresh, then go back into the setting and turn that syncing back on (if you want it to sync).
Does root and Greenify help?
I contacted Honor Support and reported the problem.
I was suggested to "Wipe Cache Partition". It helped a bit but the battery was still draining at a faster rate than 6.0. So I have now been wiping cache partition on a daily basis after a full charge.
I know it doesn't make much sense but it helps contain the drain a bit, at least when connected to the Internet via WiFi. The drain rate remains the same as soon as I switch to LTE (about 2-3% drain per hour with roughly 5-10 minutes SoT).

My phone wasn't rooted. I'd have tried Greenify but it wasn't any app causing the drain; "Android System" is the culprit. I don't know if Greenify could help with that.

Thanks for your comment. My model number is: FRD-L14 and the build number is B360.
Honor Support recommended to "Wipe Cache Partition". I did that without much luck. I have now been wiping the cache partition after every full charge (which is a ridiculous thing to do!). It does help arrest the drain a bit but only on WiFi. As soon as I turn on the Mobile Data, the battery drains at insane speed (about 2-3% an hour with just 5-10 minutes of SoT).
Hi All--
I've been on the Android P Beta for a while.
However, starting with the final beta that was released (and now on the final version of pie) I've been experiencing really quick battery drain.
Tried a total wipe and restore, and the same thing. My wife (also the pixel) isn't having those issues at all.
Thoughts?
(nothing shows up in the battery section)
Yes, I had great battery life. Then once Android Pie was released, jumped on the beta to get 9 sooner. Then got the upgrade from beta to final and battery life is horrible. I did not factory reset, I have battery saver on and it doesn'tseem to matter. If I leave on standby, no issues. If I use the phone, it can bleed as much as 10% per hour! Unacceptable. I may try factory resetting, but idk...
have you allocated sufficient time for app battery optimization?
I also have a pixel, Android 9.0/Pie (bought it brand new three days ago) and think battery is draining very (!) quick.
Yesterday I had roughly 2.5 SOT (with battery saver enabled) and this seems consistent with what I can expect typically. I did factory reset and have tried restricting "background activity" for my frequent apps - seems to make no difference. Obviously it had not time to do full battery optimization yet I guess, but I doubt it would mean a that big difference?
Saw a thread where someone mentioned it seems CPU-freq is high/inc. very rapidly when just tapping the screen (GPU-0%), and I can agree with that although I have not the prev. experience of what to expect.
My previous experience is with Xiaomi mi6/mi5 (lineage 15.1), similar usage would give 2x or 3x SOT (however with some other hw-issues.. ).

Flashed factory image without -w/"wipe". Will that do or should it be "full" factory reset to make sense?
Thank you for your information, I will stay on Oreo.

I don't think it would make a difference. The user data is on a different partition.
You could try flashing the image again, without Magisk or any other additions.
I had used up 50% with only 21 minutes screen on time.
I noticed the app Device Health Services, was constantly active in the background.
I had the same like the OP: everything was fine until the last beta came, and battery is draining faster, phone gets hot from even the smallest usage even in the prod release of android pie.
I was thinking it has something to do with being about 36 degrees (summer time....), but it is the same even in cooler temperature rooms. It's like if the phone is constantly doing something in the background, but only if I use it.
It has been a few days since I upgraded my Pixel 2. Battery life is noticably worse, maybe 20-30% more battery drain in a day than what I saw in Oreo.
I notice the issue as well. I did factory reset after update it's been a week. I was on beta and started noticing battery issues in the first beta and throughout. I decided to install Accubattery to track my battery usage and ended up with a result.
My phone states the battery is in good condition but this app says otherwise. I guess it's time to change the battery along with cracked screen!
i'm curious if my battery is shot as well... Seems like after I purchased my used Pixel.. the battery is not as lasting as I hoped for the smaller pixel phone... I may try one of those battery testing apps to see if it will tell me its current health..
I normally welcome up updates, but this update screwed up my battery life so bad. I mean everything was perfect until the update. Now the battery drains so fast I can watch the percentage count down like a timer and now when the battery gets anywhere from 15-40% the phone will just shut down.
I would like to go back to oreo, but it's such a pain in the ass having to back everything up and flash a ROM considering I haven't done that since before I bought the pixel
I have the same problem. I hope Google can fix it.
Wow, that is not normal. Stock android 9 with root and elemental kernel.... I go back to android 8.1.0 and wait for feature releases
I think I found an Draining App/Setting
I disable the RCS Service on my Phone. It can be found under Messages >> 3 dot Menu >> Settings >> broadcast News. Disable it.
And then Bluetooth and WiFi scan disable.
Same here, crazy idle drain after pie, only 50% deep sleep, tried factory reset and no luck
Try BetterBatteryStats. People in that thread spend their free time analyzing logs to tell you what's eating up all your battery life.

So I've been using the Rog 5 for a week or so. I've noticed that ANDROID SYSTEM has a massive battery drain.
No matter which apps I use, wether it's YouTube, Chrome, WhatsApp or any gaming app, Android System always had a massive battery drain. This can't be normal can it?
I installed Better Battery Stats & Gsam Battery Monitor and found that Android System has got many Wakelocks too. I've attached screenshots for this, if anyone could help resolve these Wakelocks that would be amazing. Also if anyone could help to lower the Android System battery drain please.
On the better battery stats you will notice over 500 Wakelocks in 9 Hours ! Over 3 days that number is over 2000 Wakelocks
On my first full charge i have 6hrs screen on time and 40% left still cycling the battery for maximum performance. It would be interesting to see what apps can be disabled safely and any other battery saving tips people have here.

Although that's decent battery life, it CAN and SHOULD be better. I'm using greenify too btw
Not many with the phone yet lol lets wait and see i got almost 9hrs screen on time first charge.
I tested by watching youtube videos with bluetooth connected sometimes and this was my screen on time
i had 8.30h of screen time with the huawei p30 pro 4200mah battery, a little disappointing for a 6000mah battery

Dont know whether this is happening only for me. I also tried manual battery calibration by draining the battery and charging till 100 after that i even deleted batterystats.bin file manually. Still 8 or 9 hours max.
Should i change to any other modes in specific? Like i am currently in dynamic mode. Should i tweak into advanced and reduce anything? Or you guys are having a sot of 11 hours in dynamic mode only?

Where's this battery.bin file ? From YouTube you should get way more SOT. Look on gsmarena, YouTube test is north of 13 hours
I use dynamic, auto Refresh rate, GPS, Bluetooth, auto brightness all OFF unless I need them. I use durable mode from 20%
Battery stats.bin file will be in root/system folder.

How do I access the root folder?
Also in location settings make sure you have WiFi scannibg off (it will say 'search for WiFi networks, even when WiFi is turned off') you'll find that in location menu. And if you go to developer options you'll come across something which says "Mobile data always active" turn that off too as it wastes battery for no reason.
Last but not least, go to Zentalk forum, Google it, it's Asus help forum and create a thread on there explaining you have high battery drain from Android System. They will fix it if we all report it
I have unlocked bootloader and rooted my my phone. With Root explorer or any other explorer with root permission you can access the folder.
I will disable that mobile data in developer options.
Thank you
I fully charged to 100% left overnight unplugged network standby took 2.5% and Android system was 0.2% and lost all together a total of 3% battery overnight. I think it needs to sleep better than that.
I updated to latest ww global firmware but mine is tincent version if i factory reset will it still stay on ww firmware? i think i need to do a reset. Also how do you do a hard reset via recovery on this is it safe?

It should lose 0% overnight. Android system is the culprit. No you won't lose WW after hard reset and regarding factory reset, I did it through settings as don't know how to enter recovery
Well unless someone reports it they wont fix it so best people report in as stated above ASAP.

I've already done it. I urge everyone else here too, go to Zentalk and create a thread about rog 5 battery drain and any other tissues you might have. I've mentioned battery life, volte not working and I've asked for a option for 90hz refresh rate.
