My 1020 starts to heat up at around 5~10 mins of use (& keeps making my hand uncomfortable) & Battery drains like at-least around 2 % per minute when using 3G or WiFi internet.. (Let alone using Camera, that's another story..). Even the battery drain is high on Standby !! :crying:
Pretty much nothing runs in the background except what I'm using.. (Like Browser, Whatsapp or App store etc.)
What to do ???
I'm on WP 8.1 developer preview..
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).
Once in a while, when your significant other yells at you, you might use your phone a bit less. Rate this thread to express how the Huawei Nexus 6P's battery performs under light use. A higher rating indicates that the device goes a long time when you're using the phone sparingly: no gaming or video/audio streaming, light web browsing, some calling and texts, etc.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Lasts two days with light use.
I'm disappointed from the battery. Of course I knew it but when you have it in your own hands it's twice a disappointment. I use it for an hour of talk time, two hours of browsing, and a few other tasks mainly file management. I have both wifi and data open with 5 push emails. Notifications from other apps are disabled. Only emails, sms, viber, whatsapp and FB messenger are allowed.
I have less than 40% battery at the end of the day when on my previous Note 4 I could have easily 60% or more. I am terrified to start gaming and music listening through my Sony SBH-52 BT headset.

Yes something's wrong on your end. And I remember using both the note 4/5 and you can see the battery melt in front of your eyes. With light use I get easily a day and some. I've never run out of battery with the n6p
Battery is pretty better than note 4. I have been using note and I can post both devices screenshot about battery backup and sot

Not sure that is what I'd call light use, but have you looked at the threads in the other forums here addressing some of the known bad apps, etc? Lots of good advice here on how to make the battery last a lot longer on the 6P. Since they fixed the Naptime app a few days ago for a bug it had with MM, I've finished the last two days over 90%. Few phone calls, few texts, a few web searches. I'm rooted, running the Kylo kernel, greenify'd a few apps. Stock ROM.
With light use I have gone 3 days without charging. Just turn off "Ambient Display" and other automatic screen on options like that.
Doze is amazing. It takes a while to turn on without root or Greenify but light use can make the battery last at least a day if not a day and a half and that is awesome!
does ambient light impacts battery life?

not much, but yes
I've had a 6P for about a 5 days now.
I just installed Nougat and can report that Doze really is vastly improved vs. MM. With very light use yesterday while on a five hour drive I was seeing values like 3% per hour while streaming BT audio (no nav, screen off, controlling playback via steering wheel-mounted controls). Going up I didn't use the phone except for checking the weather and saw something like 1.5% per hour.
So far this morning at work, where I usually hardly use the phone at all, I'm seeing something like 1.9% per hour just occasionally turning on the screen to check for texts/e-mails (SoT so far, 4 hours into my day is about 45 minutes). The best my Note 5 EVER did, impersonating a brick on my desk, was maybe 3.5% per hour. At the end of the day, with about 2 1/2 to 3 hours of SoT it would usually have 10%-15% left, so I would say the endurance of the 6P is astounding.
I am concerned however about the dramatic effect using the camera has on this. I spent about 15 minutes playing with the camera last night before and 15 minutes after installing Nougat and noted a huge amount heat being generated with the resultant power consumption of over 15% in just those few minutes. I get that the processor is working hard on processing but this is one area the Note 5 is better. While the 6P is so much more efficient overall than the Note 5 (running MM), I use the camera a lot while traveling and occasionally for work, and I'm worried that it will so dramatically reduce it's endurance that it'll die on me halfway through the day. I'm going to Singapore for a week next for a week and so far I don't think the 6P will be the phone I take only for this reason. I was hoping that with Nougat Google would have improved the efficiency of the camera app/photo processing but that doesn't seem to be the case.
I would go so far as to say this may drive me to return it.
After few days of light use I can finally share more details. Phone lasts 1 day and 20 hours with the light use. Phone used for 1h05m, screen 1h16m, 44h active phone (where first 8 hours were in very low signal area) with 13h wake time. I have three push accounts active, BT always on, Wifi as never when screen off. I have reached same results on my S7 Edge so it is not that bad as I suspected. Whats is very positively supposing is that while reading battery drops 1% per 9 minutes - not bad, and 1% per 10 minutes while using Spotify over BT headset.
Yeah I think about 1.5 days average.
It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the Honor 7X before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
5hrs SOT time, normal use (instagram 1 hr, yt 1hr, netflix 2 episodes of 1 hour, other 1hr)
3 1/2 hrs SOT time, stress use (1hr calls, instagram, yt, web browsing)
Hope this gives you a little jist.. The battery is pretty good since i use a few battery hogging apps for background.. Easily lasts more than a day for me.. :fingers-crossed:
Very happy with the battery life. I know after 6 or 7 months the battery life will be reduce but its overall a good package.. Sharing some screens here.
This SOT i got with second charging. Charged from 0 to 90% (Not 100%) and used. This SOT result is from 90% . Not from 100%.
Usage:-
======
Whatsapp
YouTube
Chrome and downloads
Some minutes of Cricket game play
Some videos in MX Player
XDA App
Calls and SMS
Some musics
No FB and Messenger
Full time LTE ( JIO voLTE India)
Dual sim all time
Here i just disabled some apps that i never use..
Same here 7:12 Sot. With root and delete all unnecessary apps.
Sorry i forgot the Screenshot.Next time
good enough
Good inmy case without games always on 4g
I've got over 8 hours SOT quite often now, not restricting anything (gaming, calls, wifi, 4g)
I have never had the chance to test battery but standby drain is excellent.
However, for heavy gaming battery life is poor and the device significantly heats up. I can completely finish my battery from 100% to 0% in around 3 hours with a game like Angry Birds 2. However, even on other devices it's known to be hard on the battery and unoptimized.
In the next coming days I'll test battery with regular use and not gaming, general web browsing and some YouTube perhaps.
However, I easily get a full day out the battery, I am impressed.
7 hrs of fuc*ing sot
Ace
7 hours sot
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.
