Battery Drain help updating firmware - Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers

Hey so recently my mate 9 battery has turned to **** and draining so quick I dont get a day's usage out of it.

Go to settings. Search scanning ( location ) and disable location sharing, wifi scanning, Bluetooth scanning.
Turn apps off after screen lock under battery that you don't use alot.
Disable gps if not using. If you use the hotspot, reboot phone after.
Also, it goes haywire randomly. One reboot each week helps

Yes some people complain about restarts like I. I install bootlog uptime and i discover that phone restart every few days, mostly when i'm not watching
I had that problem in the beginning but after a factory reset it stopped doing that.

Mobile Phone Support: We are expecting the Gingerbread version of Android to be available no later than November. The faults that you have experienced isn't a known issue unfortunately, I can only suggest that you continue to check the support tool for upcoming updates.
from lg phone support
I've not noticed any restarts as yet, though only been few hours. Not sure if it makes any difference but the only people I've seen reporting this prob are those who updated manually.
Would be nice if LG listed a change log, obviously there is the 3D converter, which is cool but I'm not sure it's as good as the native stuff as people suggest, though need to play with more. I was actually getting happy with my battery on V10D, so will see how this compares over a few days,. Other than Flash Player settings not sure if anything else has been added/changed....?

Yes i am having the same problem,i have reinstalled sw twice and its still doing it.
Sent a message to LG about it and they dont want to know about it and blame the problem on the carriers..
I have to say my initial impression of the battery life is negative.
I went to bed with the phone almost fully charged, and as I do every night I disabled internet, wifi, GPS and refreshing and and waking up this morning my battery is 67%, that's really poor considering I was getting about %5 drop before.
Guess I will see what it does during the day, though I'm now worrying it won't last till the work day!

This firmware has problems with Wifi. On an 'n' network, the phone keeps rebooting. On a 'g' network I get some reboots. Turning Wifi off solves the problem, but sometimes it's impossible to turn it back on unless you reboot...
It's a shame because the battery life with this firmware is finally 'normal' for a smartphone: 24 hours vs 7 hours before that.
My wifi is on all the time but is set to switch off when the screen is locked.
I'm not having problem at all with the phone and to be honest it's much better than before.
It seems to be running more smoothly and I can see that the battery management has improved a lot!
I'd say that I'm having the same number of hours that I had with my iPhone 4 doing the same stuff that I usually do before a recharge. So, at least for me the update has been a good thing.
Hopefully will get GB sooner than later.
I also must add that right after flashing 10k the battery was pretty bad and with the rebot problem.
After a factory reset the reboot problem was solved and the battery became super.
cheers for the tip.
What sort of data gets lost/reset on a factory default?
I presume everything gets wiped with a factory reset. So my question is if its possible to backup application settings WITHOUT rooting my phone?
Everyone seems to recommend Titanium to backup settings but I do not want to run the risk of problems with the Gingerbread update by rooting my phone, but I also do not want to lose my game progress either.
Its a shame there is no option to sync all application settings to Google servers, considering one of the huge advantages to me is that the contacts and calendar do exactly that.
I've downloaded 4 times now over wifi and every time I get an invalid software package notification and it will not proceed.
I'm on stock rom (rooted) with no Rom manager gubbins.
Strange, anyone else have this please?
I'm looking but my phone says i'm upto date on V10D??
My phones on Orange if that makes a difference?
Thanks in advance

Open LG's Mobile Support and go to "Customer support > Support Model" check for Orange and you will see the version that i available for you.
The last time I saw, Orange was stuck with v10D and T-Mobile with F.
UK and Carphone are on K version.

Yeah you can do it using the KDZ file or rooting and flashing with clockwork recovery.
Sorry for being a Noob I've looked but can't find a guide thats for a real noob. Only been running Android for 6 days? but the 3D convert was the main selling point so if someone could help or link I would say a big thanks.

Yet Another Battery Drain Issue

Hey guys,
I am having battery drain issue on my Galaxy S6 since some time and I started to try to fix it. My SGS6 is not rooted or with any customization.
Well the first thing I did is completely factory reset the phone, including going to recover and cleaning the cache and data partition. After that, I just started the system and let it update itself. It seems fixed (going to deep sleep) for a part of the time, but right after it started to avoid deep sleeping at all (I just installed whatsapp).
Of course, I uninstalled whatsapp to check but is not related. After looking around I disabled the Google Play Services and it seems to be fixed now, but the issue is, there is nothing installed on the phone besides bloatware and the system itself. I disabled most of google and samsung apps besides sms, gallery, etc and the wakelock still exists if I enable google play services...
I am avoiding rooting or changing the system as I want to keep my knox flag clean to use android pay and other nfc payments, but without root I dont know how to search for wakelocks without the help of BBS or similar apps.

Yes, it is (But I am always around a wifi zone). I am searching and I think it is something related to S Finder also. I am testing it.

Download Greenify from Oasis Feng in play store and hibernate most of your apps(will prevent background activity).
Buy Package Disabler Pro for about $5 in Play Store and disable the bloatwares(not all of course). No root required!

No! It has a method for non-root phones and requires administrative access which is absolutely safe as the developer is very professional! It force closes apps and keeps them in force closed state and eats no battery!
Package Disabler Pro lets u disable the useless apps on the S6 without root!
Btw my S6 is not rooted as well and these work fine for me!

I went to google store after reading here about these apps, it is said on the store "need rooted device" so there were my comments..
Hello guys,
Thanks for your input. After a long section of try and errors, trying to find each app and wakelock which was preventing my system to go into deep sleep, I gave up and rooted it (KNOX tripped, bye bye payment with nfc :crying.
Unfortunately, even after installing the custom roms utilized here I still suffering from something preventing deep sleep even without installing anything besides BBS (Wipe, clean install, BBS, wait 30~ minutes and check BBS). I really don't know which kind of configuration is preventing my phone from going to deep sleep.
I hope I can fix it at least, because if not, I just rooted my phone without any worth to me. I miss when I got this phone and it had about 5h SOT everyday even with wifi, music, and anything.
Hi man
Hope this is any help.
Had battery drain aswell and still I'm searching but for me I come closer to the drainer.
I was a little frustrated but I came to the conclusion that cell standbye and android o s where the biggest consumers.
This morning I totally loaded the battery till it was full.
Around 7 I turned on flight mode and turned off WiFi and mobile network.
Now it's 12.37 and the battery is half drained so still 50% and 5.29 ours of battery life left. Note that my s6 is just laying in de room. So no usage by anyone.
I am not satticefied but I know now that constantly searching or automatically searching for network was one of the problems and due cell standby who is connected to that options. Well, automatic network searching can be stopt.
A littke bit closer tot the answers but tonight i will do the same. Full battery, Flight mode on, mobile network of andere wifi on tot zee what happend without usage from me.
No about android o s. This was left as the biggest consumer so I have to go and search that and see if i can find answers there.
Hope it's useful for you and any help would be priciated

But I have no reception here because I'm on the sea on a platform for my work.
But I had my note 3 beside de s6 this afternoon. Same settings but now my s6 is empty and the note 3 hardly used any battery life.
Both rooted, kernel... WiFi on, flight mode on, mobile network off.
Thing that stands out is dat Samsung o s on the s6 has 42% and on the note 3 Samsung o s 6%

It works best with rooted phone, but there is a working mode for unrooted phones as well which I'm using on my s6 as it's not rooted! It's located in experimental features, you'll see it says working mode Non-rooted!
Download it! It's free and less than 5mb! If u don't like it, uninstall it!
My carrier is a brazilian company called TIM, which is a subsidiary of Telecom Italia Mobile. I don't have problem with 4g/lte/call signal.

That is probably why. I know I read that for some reason using this devices with other Sims causes abnormal battery drain, with the only fix going back to a T-Mobile sim

Morning guys.
Last evening I wiped cache, fully loaded the battery. WiFi on, airplan mode on. Rest off. Downloaded better batterystats and left it.
This morning the phone still has battery life left! That's new!
Now 9.27 our on battery. 76% empty
We'll wenn I look at battery usage on the phone it is Samsung o s on top with 43%.
In better battery stats. Awake has 96%.
So that means that the phone never go's to sleep?
Someone got some solution for that?
After reading something about it I've uninstalled ANT services and ANT plug-in, definitely a better behavior.
With wifi , bluetooth, mobile data off, non automatic display and set to one third for luminosity (enough for an indoor use), google and S voice on demand and some other goodies deactivated, a charge lasts 2 and a bit days on this S6 edge + (I used it heavily yesterday with sms and one long call for about 3h),, so this is much better thant the first days when it lasted hardly one day on a charge.
I'll try these apps to round the culprit and still has to uinstall all the non needed apps and services like google crap, samsung crap, facebook and such.I've also installed DS Eco Battery from playstore that clearly helped my phone to stay in deep sleep.
Hi Charlene
Can you post your s6 battery usage here?
I have the same phone and for comparison it would be useful to see what the difference is in usage?
As mentioned earlier the android o s toke up far to much % if you ask me.
Edit: Today I ran wake lock detector. WiFi off, mobile network off, no acculoader plugged.
Just looked at it and under kernel I found bcm4773_wake_lock keeping s6 awake. Anybody familiar with it? Thanks!

Broadcomm module. Sounds like the GPS.

Poor/Broken GPS performance

Hi,
The GPS on my Oneplus One appears to be very close to broken after the OTA update to 5.1. My phone is completely stock - ie not rooted, locked bootloader, the whole lot. Everything else on the device works beautifully.
I've searched around and it doesn't appear to be a very common problem with this phone.
The GPS worked flawlessly on 4.4 and I think on 5.0 (was only on 5.0 for a couple of days before the 5.1 OTA came through).
Using GPS test I can see 32 satellites, but it will very, very slowly fix to 7 or 8 and sometimes get a lock, mostly not.
Is this something anyone else is finding, or has a fix for?
I'm not against rooting and flashing another ROM, it just seems a little overkill when everything else works so well.
Thanks in advance for any help...
Did you tried GPS Fix from Playstore?
Sent from my A0001 using XDA Free mobile app
^^^ Yes, often resetting and downloading new AGPS data can fix this. I use GPS Status & Toolbox.
Thanks guys. "The GPS Fix" app sorted it out. I'm not sure what it actually does behind the scenes but I'm getting a solid lock instantly now.
Is this something I'm going to need to do periodically, or after a reboot to keep it working?
Cheers...

I travel a lot internationally and only have to do it when I go to another region. Once I'm in a region for a while, I just leave it alone.
This is what I used http://ejvyas.blogspot.com/2015/10/one-plus-one-bacon-gps-fix.html
Did it work well long term?
I thought I'd fixed this with the apps mentioned earlier, but it's still pretty poor. 30 seconds plus to fix and then drops out constantly...
Same issue here.. It started after the last update..I travel for business and I use the phone to plan my route.. Last trip had great weather yet horrible drop off. Hasn't gotten any better since..

Marshmallow 6.0.1 and battery time

Hi guys. I have a problem with my battery. Since update marshmallow 6.0.1 my phone won't go into deep sleep, cpuspy says that lowest cpu speed is 400mhz and that's it there is no deep sleep. At night my battery drain without any use in about 6 hours 10-15%. I have already disabled Google now, cleaned cache and tried every possible way that I know but problem is still there.
Only one thing that after cache clean it goes into deep sleep once or twice but once I charge my phone deep sleep is gone, and it's kind a frustrating. I have read online that many users encountered that problem, I just wanna know did anyone solve it, or anyone know when Samsung is going to release fix for that.
P.S. oh I forgot my WiFi is also unstable after that update, it's work but not like it's used.

I would like to know too. I'm at crossroads now trying to decide whether to update to MM or not. Feedback please anyone?
i also had the deep sleep problem (not the wifi one), but I flashes the pure stock extralite rom with the arter97 kernel and now everything works fine. i lose about 1-2% over night.
Well, it is an option to flash another kernel and rom, but since my phone is new and under warranty I would like to keep it clear from such things at least for a while.
I was hope that someone find a solution without flashing

Brand new Device, unable to connect WIFI

Hello.
I have come across an error on my brand new Mate 9, where the wifi simply wont turn on.
Firstly, Yesterday i received the phone and the WIFI was seemingly working ok. Which would suggest it may now have arrived faulty.
But last night, i completed the setup process. Installed my apps as you do. Updated all existing apps and updated to the most recent android version in the update section.
After a while i noticed i was on Mobile Data and not WiFI was odd as i sit 2 meters from my Router.
I attempted to connect to wifi but the option wont even turn on. I have contacted my provided who are willing to have it looked at but i will be without a phone for up to 2 weeks. So im trying to trouble shoot myself.
Below are 2 videos of me trying to turn WiFI on. First one is trying through settings. 2nd one is after a factory reset indicating it may not be a settings issue.
https://youtu.be/Q-VfQrMA-4s
https://youtu.be/g8cpAHd3nBU
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
Update messed up?
Can you apply update again?
Could be the update. Device says its up to date.
Unsure if you can to roll back.
Hi guys, I have the same problem with my mate 9, also I have this problem from 3 months ago, and I not found any solution, it's exist that?
Anyway I have problems also with overheating, battery fast drain, touchscreen.... I really I feel like I pay for a **** my money... Cheers
I have a same trouble, when I got update via OTA on my L29C636. Updated to B181, wifi and bluetooth doesn't work.
I have try to flash the same firmware with dload method, and it can roll back with dload method (I've try to flash B156 firmware)
So I think that we can do is waiting for the next update (maybe on Oreo firmware)
I saw your video. The same happen to me. Please, If you find the way to solve the problem, sahre it!!!!! Good luck.
