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.

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.

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

This is the second full day of usage that I am getting out of my Pixel 2 and the first day of moderate-to-heavy usage. The previous day I was at home, so I did not use it as much and I noticed that the battery life was not too bad. But given that I did not use it intensely, I cannot tell for sure. But today, I noticed significant drain in the battery during my morning commute. As an example, my battery went from 79% to 76-75% in a matter of minutes (about 10 minutes). This was very concerning and made me feel like the battery performance was not really much better than my nearly 2 year old Nexus 5X whose battery has noticeably depleted in capacity.
I don't know if this battery drain has anything to do with poor cellular network connection during my commute as it completely cuts off in many places, so may be I am draining more battery trying to connect to a network. Or may be it is due to using bluetooth earphones. But I want to get a sense of what others are noticing and how I can more carefully test the battery performance to get a clearer understanding about its performance.
Never judge battery life from a single day or two of usage. You'll need at least a week to see if the battery performance remains consistent.
Much better than my iPhone 7 that I switched from. Can't ask for much more than that. (never should have jumped to iphone 6 in the first place)
I certainly get much more battery out of my Xiaomi Mi A1 with Android One (Oreo).
Though 4-6 SOT hours in the Pixel 2 are not that bad, it feels like not enough in comparison to 6-9 SOT hours I get with my other smartphone.

I get at least a full day if I leave for work fully charged. Much better than iPhone. The best I ever got was 21.5 hours but that was only after having it a week.

Xiaomi Mi A1, comes with built-in Android stock, dual camera...bang for the buck right now, costs like 150-200$. You can check it out on xda, its battery numbers are impressive.
And installing Google Cam makes it perform great even in lowlight conditions, perhaps not very far from Pixel 2...
Enviado desde mi Pixel 2 mediante Tapatalk
I'm getting hardly 5-6 hours of SOT with medium to heavy usage. Battery capacity could've been bigger!
I'm not even getting 2 Hrs of SOT. I've had my Pixel 2 XL for a week now and the battery performance is abysmal. I have the screen brightness set to less than 50% and the phone is not modded or anything out of the ordinary like that. Thinking of formatting and setting up the phone again. This is so annoying.
Pretty crappy IMO. I can get a full workday but thats at min-med use.

What does "min-med" use actually mean? SOT is a flawed metric, but at least gives some standard of reference (though as people use different brightness settings, do different things with their screen on time, have different signal conditions, it's still not easy to meaningfully compare).
FWIW the one time I didn't charge mine overnight it ran for 41 hours, > 6 hours SOT, still 7% left. Of course I'm not playing online games on LTE at full brightness, and I'm sure it wouldn't last close to that if I were, but for my use (as a PDA, phone, browser, a bit of audio streaming and a bit of light gaming) it will reliably last a full day (not workday) with charge to spare. I don't see this phone's battery as a problem at all.
Alright, I gave this a few more days of usage. I am getting around 3.5ish hours of SOT with 30% battery left. Sometimes less, but around the same ballpark. I think I can safely say that this is significantly more battery than my old Nexus 5X, which I had to constantly charge throughout the day and still have issues with depleted battery by the time I reach home. So that's good!
For me the battery life is super, I didn't get such stats with my old OnePlus 3.

Poor reception is a HUGE drain on battery. Specifically, modems will try to search for service more agressively when they start nearing their poor signal thresholds. I have a friend who lives in an area that has just enough cell signal to destroy my battery! I always have to put my phone in mode when I'm at her house to save battery!
My battery life on my Pixel 2 is horrible. All radios off, full charge this morning, phone is completely wiped as I am selling it and its down 35% by doing nothing. No wifi, no sim, no apps, just on. Its garbage. That and the stiff buttons is a quick sell-off to me. Its a work phone so I dont really care. Having a much better experience with my moto Z2 play that i now use as a work phone (personal phone is a Note 8).

Sounds like a warranty issue. Did you try getting it fixed?
And how can you sell a phone that belongs to your employer?

I bought the phone and use it for work.
I knew battery life would be great, taking into account the mid-range CPU and small (by todays standards), low-res screen.
But on this youtube test, the 3a XL wiped the floor with these phones,
and had half an hour more endurance over the Zenfone 6, which has a monstrous 5000mah battery.
These are excellent results.
Edit: changed title to battery life, since I find no dedicated discussion.
The did not have the Moto G7 Power in that test. The battery life on the Moto G7 Power is incredible.

True. I've seen people reporting 12-14hrs sot. But the G7 power has a 26% bigger battery and an even lower mid-range processor.
I've got 7.5 hours of screen on time with auto brightness, Bluetooth, and wifi always on and still had about 30% remaining. 10 hours+ of SOT is totally possible.

I've got 7 hours sot, but with a ton of music streaming, Facebook, and phone calls. Sitting at 18%. Pretty sure I could get to 8. This is on Q beta.

I don't think he's a good reviewer. He also has a strong bias for a lot of the china phones like xiaomi, vivo, huawei etc.
For the purpose of this thread, I've been averaging over 7 hrs SOT with over 1.5 days usage easy. Mixed LTE and WIFI use.
i had 10 hours of the span of 3 days.I do a lot of battery test with my pixel and my poco and my other phones and even pixel is above poco on the battery sot.

I would say disable Wellbeing for sure turn on saving mode ,use grayish theme,and a dark wallpaper,and restrict ur apps to not work when they are closed.I have mine all closed except messenger cause i notice that dont get my messeges. Usually i have 3 days and more and around 10 hours sot but i was editing a lot of pictures on snapseed and lightroom,and that can drain battery by a decent amount.

I'm obviously late to the party, but from what I gather, the screen and SOC are power-efficient compared to high end phones. The radios (wifi, bluetooth, LTE, etc) are not, though. So in the Youtube video you posted (2-DAY Drain Test), the guy started off by using four hours of Youtube, which requires data. Whereas the video by Mrwhosetheboss only has things going on locally (on the phones) until the last tests.

That is very interesting insight!
Mine been running for around 48h for my normal day to day use with 15-20% left. For comparison my previous LG V30 with same usage that lasted one day, one night and was at 5% around 22:00-23:00 next day.
I'm pretty happy especially that no optimization or dark mode yet (running Pie)
Hope to see few % extra on android Q
Android Q beta 5 9 hours sot
Like the title says, I'm on Q beta 5, stock, no root or special apps like naptime, only disabled a few apps that allowed it like Google Play music.
Close to 9 hours SOT with 11% still in the tank.
This is awesome.
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 Realme XT before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

with wifi u can get 10 to 11 hours of sot. if with mobile data it will 6 to 8 hours

Last day I went on a trip. The phone was mostly on max. Brightness and camera was also used extensively. The SOT was a bit less than 6 hours.
I don't have screenshots to share.
Heres mine on an average day
Here's mine.
After the first full charge I got 7 1/2 hours of Screen on Time of mixed usage (WiFi/MobileData).
Really nice!
Installed GSam battery monitor n Accu battery app
The discharging speed while screen off was 2.6 percnt which is quite high.. dont know if these two app were the culprit which were running with notifications in the notifications centre ..
Andriod 10 SOT + Standby Drain.

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?
