[Q] Wrong battery estimation?

I cannot understand why the phone should be on battery only 5 hours when after 18 hours has still 44% of battery? Any explanation?
Thanks

I can't go further than 10 hkurs of battery

Well I can't even go a day at work. Only mobile data on, brightness at auto. 3 hours of SOT and dead.

The estimation assumes that the screen will stay on at its current brightness setting until the battery runs out. Clearly whoever designed this didn't think it through too clearly.
The estimate on LG phones (G2, G3) doesn't behave this way, at least not on Kit Kat. No idea why Samsung implemented it this way on the S6.

My battery

So this is my battery as of now. When I clicked on apps, it showed android system as using the most battery. Should it be like this?

The reason I ask is because I'm getting pretty bad battery usage. Do these screen shots mean I'm getting regular battery usage?

That looks normal as you've not had your screen on very long for a 6 hour period.

But at the end of the day I had ALMOST 2 hours of screen usage. Doesn't thatseem odd? Yea, my phone technically was on for over 14 hours, but the battery should last longer shouldn't it?

You should probably post this in the Battery thread.

Honor 6x Sleep takes 1% battery

Hello,
I am the new owner of a Honor 6x and the phone is absolutely great but i cannot have a decent sleep. It loses minimum 1% per hour.
This night, from midnight to 6AM, i've went from 54% to 48%, that sounds enormous...
Power saving mode is enable.
Phone has already been resetted.
I also updated last night to nougat.
I am in 3G since 4G is knowing to consume a lot, had this also on my previous phone.
Compsumption Level are Android system 20.85%
Android OS 12.76
Hardware side are Screen 21% and PHone Idle 7%
If i uses the 6x continuesly, i get easily 6SOT i don't know how to avoid loosing so much during sleep.

Thx, i am now performing a new factory reset for Nougat.
Wifi off when screen off is applied
Mobile network have been remained on but i do now change them in 2G.
I close all apps manually before closing screen.
I've tested and lost 1% in one hour with NO data and NO wifi..., the screen has been just very shortly checked 4 times...
I will compare after the reset.
Thanks.

By default, EMUI will kill a lot of background apps during sleep, so you shouldn't experience much battery drain. A factory reset may help you.

You can try apps like Greenify. It will help.

This is all because of the Nougat update.
Nougat update is draining battery faster than MM version.
Moreover officially Nougat has not been released for Honor 6X still.
Try to downgrade to MM for better battery.

Well u sound true , OP plz try to enable the option to close the apps automatically when screen off. Wil save much juice

Thanks, i saw everywhere else that closing apps in the background sound a good idea but is in fact asking more juice to the system.
I don't know what to think anymore.
i've did 6h14 SOT with about 55 minutes of gaming, brightness between 15-30 depending if outside or inside.
It seems that making full charging cycles (i've had the phone only since 3 days now ) is helping a bit.
Still, i am very far from getting 10 hours as i have seen in these forums

Well, 6h SOT is very good actually but, if people do get 10h is probably due to light usages!

No one with a 3,000mAh battery ever achieved 10 hrs of SoT. Even with the lightest of usage. 7 hrs and a half at max.

Honor 6x have a 3340 mAh, I think it's possible

Do the math. Additional 340 only. 8 hrs, maybe even and a half. You can only do that if you take away the core Android processes, take away cell radio, take away touch screen inputs, and there you go. With 3340mAh you might even reach 24 hrs of display time. I don't care if you don't believe me.

Yeah I do get your point, but I wouldn't say this if my friend didn't get 10h on his oneplus 3t

39% and 3h30 SOT is good

I have been using various devices . Even redmi note 3 with 4000 mah battery dint saw 10hrs screen on time on any rom i tried . Even i build a kernel and a rom just for saving juice . Still i git approximately 8 and half hrs sot

Well I'm constantly getting 10+ hrs sot on my 6x from full charge to 10% i think with vids,gaming and manga reading alomg with music so the battery optimization on this is superb

Two things..
1. There are battery threads that already exist, so don't create new ones..
2. This is the One plus One section..
Battery drain is generally app related, use Better Battery Stats to see what's draining..
Have fun

Screen on time

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 Samsung Galaxy M30s before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

12 -13 hrs easily

Getting 9 to 10 hours with 2 day usage. Will certainly go above 10 hours if used continuously in a single day.

12-13 hrs average easily!!

With dark mode you can easily go 15-17 hrs

I don't know why my device having multiple issues such as call muting, Vodafone volte not working also getting only 6 hours of SOS with 15 to 18 hours of battery backup... Faulty device?
Sometimes I am getting message such as CPU usage is high please restart your device and not getting the speed over 4G at all...

I dont see any standby drain. When I keep data on (locaion,wifi and bluetooth off) in the night it drained only 2-3 % battery. with data off/location/wifi/bluetooth off it was 100% in the morning.
But I have a different issue, When I am using the phone, I see a drain now which was not there initially. Android system is draining most of the power. I usually used to get 9+ hrs SOT with 2 days usage. but now Both have dropped below to 1&1/2 day and around 8 hours SOT. Tried all the things found on net, but it dint helped.
Help?

Make sure your Google app is updated and turn off the voice activation feature. Clear cache and data once.

Anyone think this phone can reach Lenovo P2 levels or maybe a bit under? I would really like it but more battery results would be what I am waiting for before I decide.

Screen is a downgrade yes.
I don't care about fast charge at all personally, since we don't have to charge that often with battery life like that.

While true I think the Exynos line just isn't nearly as efficient as the SD line on 4G, I am experiencing this hard on my Note 9.
