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 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.

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:
http://www.hihonor.com/us/support/details/index.html?DOC_ID=92098
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...
Hi,
Firmware Finder shows b585 for my phone (L29C636 dual sim), although system update doesn't show it.
3 files downloaded 1.updated 1.3 GB, 2.update data full public 425mb and 3.update full L29 442mb
How to flash it.
Is this firmware safe?
I will download it but not flashing with twrp or dload ... Anyone flash it?
Mate 8, L29C636B585. Noticing a larger than normal battery drain on the Nougat version of Huawei's EMUI. Not sure if this is and issue for Google or Huawei. I already uninstalled apps that I have constantly monitored to be BIG drainers. and I also tried to tweak mobile data access and many more to see which app is really killing my phone. Been at it for 3 weeks now, still on the hunt.
Anyone have a similar experience on their Mate 8? L29C636B858 variant.

On B585 now, I only get about 5-6 hours screen on time and barely get through one day with medium-high usage.

K. my bad. I see it to be as L29C636B585?
I'm retesting.
I got mine from FF because I noticed that L29C636B563 was experiencing the same issue I am having today 4-5 weeks after the update (Official OTA from Huawei) arrived on my phone.
My issues probably started the week of 10 June to 18 June, well after I've had L29C636B563...
The following apps may or will rise up to the top of the list of battery suckers and they happen at random most of the time, mostly too just after taking the phone out from the charging state:
Google Play Services
Calendar
Chrome
Gmail
And other essential apps....
I'll have good battery and see that I still have 30% left, then after 30 minutes at the dinner table... I'd be surprised that my phone suddenly died. This is around 11pm at night.
Anyway, I decided to install L29C636B585 (v84268 FullOTA-MF). I think something went wrong with this firmware update because I did not experience the 9 or 10 MFs that was more apparent in (v84265 OTA-MF).
This was just last Monday I think. First install, my battery was still draining crazily. After the first update to L29C636B585 (v84268 FullOTA-MF). I just restored everything from my Google Account. I did this twice.
A few days ago, I decided to do a full clean install so I processed my third wipe but this time, I started clean. Nope. Something is wrong here! Battery is still draining like CRAZY!
So. around Wednesday this week. I wonder what L29C636B585 (v84265 OTA-MF) is all about. Each package downloaded is less tha 600MB, and after the 9th or 10th prompt, the total MF package size came to 4.5GB and it installed.
After that, I just rebooted.
I noticed that a lot of times (just a 2 day period here), the battery usage would start to steady itself after an initial drain my Google Play Services or some crazy system app. No, it is not an app I installed. Maybe an app that Google Updated like Google Play Service or the Google App (with the Google Assistant).
Prior to updating to Nougat 7.0, I was happy at L29C636B321, the best most stable EMUI for my Mate 8 yet.
Why does Google release Beta Software to unknowing Beta Testers??!?
Yesterday from 4pm to 10:20pm, my battery went from 77% to 62%, that's pretty low usage??! I was also up and about that time. What happened? That's 15% drain in 6 hrs and 20 mins. The battery drain is still not consistent. Not as consistent as my L29C636B321.
That one would have a steady drain, averaging between 3% to 4% on moderate use.
So now... what?? I just installed Doze (for android) again and maybe it will force Google Play Services to doze once in a while since that essential service is exempt from any battery power saving mode.

Yes, mine is L29C636B585. While the 5-6 hours screen on time I get seemed low for this phone (could be normal battery wear?), I did not experience the crazy screen-off drain you reported. My battery usage list seem normal with android system being the biggest juice sucker.
Very unhappy with Nougat 7.0 (EMUI 5.0) L29C636B563 and L29C636B585, both are BUGGED to death. The biggest being the BATTERY DRAIN
I wonder if these 2 posts have any bearing at all:
http://club.huawei.com/thread-12139207-1-1-3717.html (In Chinese)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eh21H3qTbx4&feature=youtu.be
Basically remove (make Not Allowed):
GeofenceService
HwLBSService
In "Ignore Battery Optimization".
Wonder what these 2 services are for? What happens if you remove them from Battery Optimization, i.e., allow them to be optimized.
I bought my Pixel in Nov 2016. Battery lasted on average about 1 day & 10-20 minutes based on my personal usage. In the last few weeks, it barely lasts 24 hours. I haven't added any new apps. My battery usage info doesn't show anything unusual or an app consuming a lot of battery. I downloaded GSam Battery Monitor but that doesn't give details on app usage unless you are rooted which I am not.
Have others also experienced poor battery although the phone is not even a year old?
Any ideas on what it can be? I haven't changed my usage either (I only monitor it on weekdays since that usage is basically the same each day).
Just an example here: took off charger 52 mins ago and it's already at 89%.

What software are you running? If you don't get the OTA for 8.0, I'd enroll in the Beta. This will prompt you to get the official release at this time. Once that's installed, I'd Factory Reset data and start from scratch.
Alternatively, you can uninstall apps one by one to see if there's an increase in performance/battery life. Also, maybe try wiping cache to see if that helps.
Yes mine went from 5-6 hours SOT to maybe 3 1/2 to 4. Horrible. I've flashed countless factory images. Never abkr to figure it out.
I wouldn't expect it's related to the age of the device necessarily. I only just got my Pixel a few weeks ago and it averages about 4 hours SOT over 24 hours with little left in the tank. It's got a small battery.
Mine is terrible on Oreo
You have to give the software about 2-3 days to learn your usage so that it can set everything for you, if you just installed Android Oreo, then, it's going to be at least a day or two before your battery corrects it self.
I have been on the Oreo dev preview, back to Nougat, now back on Oreo and the battery life just has gotten to be terrible. Factory wipes every time I load a new version on Android.
I get about 1.5 to 2 hrs SoT in a 12 hour period and it just about is dead. I have surrendered to the fact that I will just never had good battery life as long as I own an Android phone and I charge them any chance I get.

Personally I use Wakelock Detector on a rooted phone, but it may be possible to get information without root using ADB.
https://plus.google.com/+GeorgeTanner/posts/gT5f7XntmEu
The Wakelock Detector instructions for not having root are more thorough.
http://goo.gl/Yqdh2F
I am still on Android 7.1.2 running the latest update - NHG47Q (I think this is the latest). I have not tried the Oreo beta but would hope the battery life will improve since that is one of the new features.
I have heard that one should factory reset when going to a major update like 8.0. I just hate to reinstall everything (apps & settings) from scratch. (I am not rooted.)

Shouldn't have to do that... I've never bothered and it's not caused me any issues. I think people who suggest you do that are probably the same ones who suggest you wipe cache and dalvik cache all the time (burn).
The screen takes an awful lot of battery on this device.
My battery life was getting worse, and a factory reset a few days all fixed it.

Hello,
I am new here and need help with my Honor 8. The battery drain allot. I have read other post on xda-developers.com with the same issue. I don't know if the drain start after the update7.0. I just know that I know that my has been update to 7.0. If is some info:
Android 7.0
EMUI 5.0.1
I have tried to turn off WIFI+ and Location with no lock .
I don't know if my phone is factory unlocked and I will try to restart my phone but would like to know if I do that will take away the unlocked part?
Please share you battery graph and also see which app is consuming high battery. It may be many apps open in the background. I was facing the same and disabled Facebook on screen lock as it was consuming good amount of battery.
Check if you have enabled backup and sync for Photos as it consumes a lot of juice as well.

For the first time, mine did some crap like that this morning.
Word thing is the other day it stayed in 100% for 2 hours straight.
I mean I was web browsing on 4G, playing videos on YouTube etc. Doing everything I can to try and drain the battery.
My guess is we both need to factory reset.
In my case I recently updated to B391 but didn't factory reset.
Each update I did prior, I always factory reset the phone and had consistent & decent battery life

I always do a factory reset. It's crap, we users shouldn't have to, but it seems the best ways to squeeze the best performance of the device.
I bought the Honor 8 when it launched. It's almost been a year and a half and I had big battery issues.
I tried battery calibration, factory reset, etc... Nothing worked.
So I bought a new battery on Ebay (15€) and had it replaced. The phone is now good as new. At the end of the day, there's almost 50% of battery remaining.
I thing the component quality isn't that good and doesn't last more than 18/20 months.

I bought my Honor 8 around Octobor 2016 and same issue. Now, for common use, FB, surf with Chrome, IM with Messenger & WhatsApp, I've to charge 2-3 times per day.
My device is still in warranty (I think) then, I contacted Huawei/Honor support... but I think like you, battery is a poor quality and need to be replaced.

Could you please PM me the ebay link to the battery you got? Thanks
Is it easy to replace the battery on your own? I am really furious with the battery issues. Today my phone had 60% battery and it shut down suddenly. When I turned it on again the battery life was 0% and I was away from home without any other way to communicate with the universe ? . I don't know if I should by a new battery or just throw it away and get something else. It was a great value for money device (best camera ever!) but this thing with the battery is unacceptable especially because it is not easy to open it. I'd really appreciate it if you could send me a pm with the ebay link as well. Thanks in advance ??

Had my battery replaced under warranty a months ore so before the expiratin and with shipping taken care of (Huawei France). The phone was back quite quickly (took around one week) and now feels absolutely great. I am not a heavy storage user so I can manage with 32G for some time.
Even if it's out of warranty I'd say it's really worth replacing.
Hi everyone
I have my honor 8 two years now.
It always had 2days battery with normal use (videos included) for 1and half years.
Now it's switching off with 80% battery left.
When I plug it and turn it on it says 40/50% battery left. If I unplug it, it swithches off again.
It makes me crazy as I cannot rely on it, but the phone is fantastic!! I had other phones on the past, and the battery last for more than 5years!!
- I've reboot the phone already, cleaned the cache, checked all apps, but the situation is still the same.
Any suggestion?
- I'm reading that Google play might be the probem. Can I get rid of it?
Thanks for your help!
Cheers

I resolved my battery drain problem by connecting all my wifi to 2.4Ghz instead of 5Ghz.
Anyone experiencing excessive battery drain with the May patch update? Android system drains the battery too much. I just reset my phone 2 days ago, installed my usual apps, updated the system and then this happens now. Any fix on this?
Hello,
It's actually a well known problem in the community
1. I have submitted a report to Sony and request them to release a software update to fix the Kernel
- which means that our best chance here is to hope it is fixed with an update, the root cause is the Kernel not being optimized
2. I am on the verge of snapping this phone in half as I asked around the community and received no answers , been trying to fix this for 1 year straight

Out of the blue: A factory reset could help.
You definitely have a problem that your phone does not idle (look at my screenshots (v ..128):
idle (Ruhezustand) should always be in the top three).
One of your messengers might the culprit.
Try to disable them all and switch them on one after another to find a possible culprit.
Hi,
I too have these issues. Did you manage to workout which app was at fault?
Yes, another case here. We are still investigating the problem and checking if it's some app or system itself. Most of battery was used by android system and battery was empty in 11 hours.
Problems started with 41.3.A.2.128.
So is it worth updating?

In our case problem was either facebook or whatsapp. Both remove/disabled and now battery lasts as always.
Yes, it is horrible!! I woke up at 7 am, took my phone off the charger and never made a call, or even turned on wifi. I came back from being outside around 11:30 and I was down to %34!! Without the phone having done nothing but sit there and recieve 2 missed calls and 5 text messages!! I usually get 2-3 days on a charge with my XZS depending what I am doing. Needs to be fixed and fast!!!!
Dont factory reset, because the battery issue will not go away for rom issues.
But the "Messages" app do look suspicious for 5%.
There are some devs like to tell people factory reset for everything first and even reset for regular stock rom updates.
Its a bit excessive, like formatting Windows for every time it crashes or even for every Windows updates... Unless you enjoy restoring data & apps.
Should try something to troubleshoot and fix it first before resetting, so we know whats wrong.
The battery drain on idle is slightly better after a week, but we still have to wait and see.
i have problems too, with last existenz with this version battery its a joke
