Anyone notice a significant drop in battery life in B360? I was quite happy with the SOT on 317 (just about 5h) and ever since I upgraded to 360 it's a drastic drop. Wondering if anyone else is experiencing this and how I can fix it.
So if you go to battery management, what's using your battery?

These are my latest statistics of N (B360) before rolling back to MM (B162). Something that caught my attention is the average estimates for screen on and screen off time. I got less screen off time with N than with MM but more screen on time. I think my VPN app might be the culprit for the lost of screen off time compared with 18-24hrs I was getting with MM, but can't tell for sure until I replicate the same use under MM.
So if I were to use my phone at the end of the day, after having it on standby at work, I'll probably have 3hrs of SOT before the phone goes into cardiac arrest. But my story is the opposite, I use it a lot at work and stop using it when I'm at home.

Gsam says COMBINED APP CPU. Everything's set up exactly the same as it was on 317. I used to get through the day with my moderate use with ~40% left. Now I have to charge in the afternoon. Bit annoying. Would factory reset help? I never actually did it after upgrading.

Could you check for me what is the default Power Plan in Nougat?
If I recall well is Performance but I'm not a 100% sure. Thanks.

I don't have a battery manager screen but Power Saving and Ultra modes are off, which again are the same as 317 for me.

Yeah I know that. I'm saying that my usage habits and apps using battery aren't much different. Just wondering if this is a known issue, or something that can be fixed by a factory reset.
I tried the B320 on my L19 for a week and had similar experience to the OP. Rolling back to MM allowed me to skip charging in the afternoon.

A week ago went back to MM (B162) and here are my latest battery stats. Total used time is better in MM than in N without question. So in conclusion, N is less battery efficient than MM. I just hope Huawei has this polished before February's update. Fingers crossed. :fingers-crossed:
First and second screen shots are MM.
Third and fourth are N.

So I actually rolled back my phone to 162, and then used the Charles method to go to 360 again (I previously used the dload method to update). Performed a factory reset after updating this time, and now my battery life is insane! Im at over 4h SOT with 52% battery left currently.
So for people that are experiencing battery drain on 360, perhaps try updating using Charles or officially instead of using dload, and do a factory reset after.

My battery life is definitely better after the 360 update. .
I was in the beta Before and it's improved alot.
I had it at 100℅ yesterday morning and didn't had to charge till about 4pm today and that's with me watching now TV last night for a couple of hours

I've had the same experience as the last two posters. B360 improved my battery life a lot over previous beta versions. I still think Standby was better on MM, but I get more SOT with Nougat. I'm not sure how that makes sense, exactly.

Look in the Guides section, Sympathic way to update
same here with the battery drain. I update with hicare app via officially ota. I'm thinking to rollback to emui 4.1. Android OS is eating my battery on standby
EDIT: it seems i've solved with a rollback to emui 4.1 and then reupgrade via ota!
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.

I dont see it getting worse. Its good for me

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.
Just wondering if anyone with an L04 in the US on ATT has gotten the B380 update.
I upgraded from MM's B162 to N's B360 and had a huge standby drain reducing my SoT from 6-7 hours to 2.5 hours.
Rolled back and don't want to upgrade to N unless B380 fixes the standby drain.
Thanks!

Did you do a factory reset after the update? I had the same problem, did a reset and now back to very adequate SOT at max. 7 hours.

Yes, strangely -- not only did I do a factory reset after the B360 update, I also rolled back to B120 and did a factory reset after every update stage through B360, and still had the problem.
Interestingly, my battery life was back up to 6-7 hrs SoT for four days after the second rollback/update, but that went away and returned to 2.5 hours even though I tried resetting again. Don't think I can do a rollback every week though...
So I am still on MM.

For you to get the most out of these stock ROMs you have to flash the update, factory reset then just use the phone for 4/5 days before the phone will learn your usage habits and start to make the most of of your battery life.
Every time I update I reset, for the first few days the battery is all over the place, different every day but then it learns and your battery life will get back to what it should be.
The fact that you say that you keep rolling back and resetting is what is making your battery life bad.
Just the phone a chance to settle and learn.
These Chinese developers are clever.

It is mate yes but I think that we these guys have made and are still developing is so different to what has been done before.
If you look at the AI stuff that they have put on some of there phones that at the mo can only be used in China to be able to see where they are going.
I updated my phone on Monday on Tuesday the battery was all over the place. Yesterday was a little better today is amazing.
I can charge my phone to 100% in the morning and get a full 24 hours of hammering it.
That is good enough for me
I think I'll wait till the next update and try N. If I ever get it on L04. I will bet money, even after letting your phone learn your habits, that M still has superior battery life.

I'm afraid that will be the case, yes. Going from M to N on my old Nexus 6P also dropped battery life pretty noticeably.
I had high hopes for the new deep Doze, but apparently the devs really messed something up.

But in fact, while having the L09 Italian version, I have not received anything. Just like me, many others have reported the total absence B380 update that appears only in the application FF. I begin to think that being passed from MM to Nougat (B360) by Hi-care was a big mistake. Any of you know by chance the release timing ???
My typical day used to get 35-40 hours of total time (not SOT) on Nougat and if I used airplane mode at night lasted 2 work days most of the time.
with Oreo Beta3, I am getting 15 hours give or take an hour. Anyone else seeing this ? Oreo Beta2 drained faster than 7.1, but by a relatively small amount.

no difference for me when switching from beta 2 to beta 3
I'm coming from 7.1.1 and yes, standby battery drain is much worse on OB3. I'm seeing a lot of bluetooth_timer wakelocks as one of the culprits.
It does say right on the download page that you will experience battery drain from Bluetooth
I think the battery drain issue was only with the first Oreo build. I haven't had any issues with mine.
I was on OB1 and after I went to OB2 some thing's didn't seem right so I did a factory reset and now on OB3 it's still great.
I've noticed no difference in battery performance at all. I went from 7.1.1 to OB2 to OB3 now. Device is an unlocked model (factory direct) running on Sprint, no root.

So my usage is pretty heavy, but SOT is low, mostly text/email and quick in/out.
Found the culprit. Had moved from Launcher3 to PixelLauncher, that was the hog .. and it showed up as a system consumption. Moved back to Launcher3 and I am back to OB2 levels of drain.
Forgot to mention that I run the Nova launcher with Google feed add-on and I'm a heavy user also
I'm having also a significant battery drain coming from OB2 to OB3. I haven't installed any new apps. What app would you recommend for looking for the culprit? I see everything normal in the Android settings battery monitor.
Yup, my battery life went to crap from ob2 to ob3. I noticed it immediately, i then did a factory reset which fixed the issue for me.
battery got better for me with each beta. now it's better than nougat for me.
Adb log tends to be pretty useful. I have also run top from the adb shell to get the first hint .. and then strategies vary.
Sometimes, it has happened 3 times already, I plug the phone to charge, the screen will say "charging rapidly", the message light will turn yellow. Come to check on the phone 30 minutes later and the phone will be at the same % that I left it before charging it.
Yes I made sure it was plugged and yes it said "charging rapidly". However once it's charged, the battery life in good.
No charging issues at all.
20 hours on and only down 25%.
Estimates 2 days left.
Not doing anything with the phone. Reading a little news and that's about it.
Waiting for unlock so I can dump Sprint.

Oreo Beta 3. But that shouldn't matter, cause that's a security thing plus essential should have said Sprint users don't sideload and test this for us cause your phone will be borked and we aren't going to do squat for you. Hahahaha.

Well... I really enjoy the protect battery feature because i can charge my phone overnight without worrying about damaging the battery. Also , i experienced a bit better battery life .. even if im starting my day with 85%. The extra 4gb vram makes a difference for me as the phone feels snappier. For the rest , no issues at all!
A bit too early for me to review it but it seems just prettier in respect to design, i have 6gb ram and noticed a little more ram usage ( around 500 mb more ) and in the following days i will be able to notice battery usage thanks to "Ampere" app too. A shame that "protect battery" feature can only set limit to 85 instead of giving users choice
So these are some little things i noticed so far.
- battery lowest drain dropped to 50mA from ~70mA, still not perfect but an improvement.
-ui colors are not set automatically and there is no option to do it but to change it manually, this is an android12 related feature and hope it will improve in the future.
-clock widget changes theme without considering your theme setting, bad for aesthetics.
-Not a good text color management on homescreen, using light or dark wallpapers can still lead to notification bar text being unreadable.
-when you open an app and its logo appears for fractions of second background is white even when in dark mode.

Long overdue. But that's the one thing I really miss without root (battery limiter).
I wish they gave us more options than just 85%. Running a few tests, this can use roughly 35-40% of one cycle if left plugged in all day. That's compared to pre-protect feature where leaving the phone plugged in 3-4 hours (and therefore charging 100% for a few hours) would hit about 90% of one cycle.
However, if you could limit the charge to 55-60% (because I'm usually not away from a charging source for more than a few hours), then the charge cycle would be even further limited to only 10-15% per day. In other words, maybe more than 2X extended battery life as the current 85% option will yield.
Not sure what's up with mine. Not only do I not have the Android 12 update, mine is still on July 1 2021 patch. Phone says it's up to date. I have contacted Samsung 3 times and been told every time that my inqiriy is elevated but they never get back to me! Any suggestions?

No I haven't tried to sideload an update. It's my wife's phone so I don't want to mess with it cuz if I brick it I'd be sleeping alone. But I shouldn't have to sideload anyway, it should be receiving updates and it's not and Samsung has been less than helpful.
The other reason is that I no longer have a pc, only a chromebook, and running adb from a chromebook is a pain.
