Has anybody experienced huawei home draining more than it should after the .345 update? It is driving me crazy as it sucks more juice than any other of my apps.
Thanks Huawei!
Yeah, the only fix i could find is to disable it with adb.
Not only that the drain is fixed but as well as my phone's ram is more free and the phone is more snappy.
Well, my next phone will be an iphone. Thanks Huawei for ruining ****. If EMUI 10 will be garbage, then good luck in the future!

It isn't a hardware fault if huawei home consumes 600+ mah.

What an unfortunate situation that i don't have that OTA.
I'm stuck on 328 pal what about grabbing a firmware and just moving it to internal memory and just flashing it via fastboot?
I made a thread on this a while back, might do mine tomorrow.
That never happened to me in any version. Huawei health always sucks some juice, it's always at the top during standby (at night), with WhatsApp and that's quite annoying.
I did have a battery problem not long ago, it would deplete really fast as it got lower. The last 10% was useless. It got much better after formatting cache partition, so I recommend that.
Does formatting cache partition delete my data? Been noticing the same issues. CLT-L29. I'll check my EMUI 9.1 version later
Nope
Do you have specific instructions I should follow?
Thanks

I'm beyond confused on what to do right now. The tablet is having problems left and right and Im just so confused, and no answers from Google are helping me.
Basically, I have three problems. First, the tablet cannot boot past the Nvidia logo. Second, the battery charges EXTREMELY SLOWLY. It took ten hours to get to 35%, and I fell asleep waiting for it to get one percent. And third, it discharges rapidly while on with the charger.
To note what I did, I installed TWRP, did numerous factory resets, and installed LineageOS. However, it just won't boot. Sp I am now here. Please help, I have no more options.
Why didn't you leave it on stock?

It's best to not update the OS ever. As long as it works. Also, Google auto update should be deactivated. In general, updates are bad. They take storage and eat performance in 80% of the case.

Regardless, this means nothig for the battery. I've also never seen updates ruin a device. For example, updates actually saved my phone out of brick.If not for Cyanogen, this phone would've stayed bricked.
OEM updates usual ruin the performance. That's my experience.
I've tried numerous 7.1.2 custom Nougat roms and have recently gone back to stock 5.2 and have to say that the device works a lot better.

70% of statistics are made up.
After the 5.2 update, my K1 is running a bit smoother/faster than before. Particularly screen rotation, opening keyboard, opening apps & going back to home screen.
Battery life is as it was before the update.
One of the previous updates (5.1?) similarly improved performance a bit.

Experiences will vary. But that goes with just about any software change, be it an OEM update, custom ROM, kernel, etc. For every person that says the performance, battery, etc. is better; there will be another that says it's worse.
There are lots of variables in how you use the device, what apps, etc.

Oh yeah! Newer version number. And there must be something better about it then. Maybe more ads, or more data tracking.. who knows? Well, the devs know.^^

Yes, the comments by this user are over-generalized, hyperbolic, and nonsensical. They add little value to this forum. Just sounds like a guy that had a bad experience once or twice, and now has an axe to grind with every update on every device. Ever.

Hey guys,
Am new to the Honor 8, when i bought the device on 17-07-2017, it was running MM but the same day received update to Nougat.
The phone is just awesome in terms of performance and camera, but, yeah, but, the battery. I battery is draining pretty fast overnight even when I have kept the mobile data, WIFI and GPS off.
So if you guys can suggest me some tips to save the drain that would be great.
I also saw a mode under the battery settings which stated as Low resolution power saving, which should reduce the screen resolution to save power.
But I didnt notice any difference visually , also to be sure I checked the resolution using CPU-Z which confirmed that it is 1080 x 1920
Is it a bug? or am I missing something?
Sorry if there is an existing thread for the same.
Try this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/guide-battery-life-nougat-t3623980
Just be sure you don't use power saving modr, it's totally useless
Always backup and factory reset the device first. That usually fixes most software issues with this device, including battery drain.
As for the screen resolution, the app only reads the native resolution of the screen, not the software based down sampling.
And yes, power saving mode does work, but it does so by turning off auto sync. Not my preference but it does work. If yours isn't working, see my first sentence.

From my experience, power saving mode is still quite snappy. The only downside for me is the screen goes off really fast.

Is b340 indian version?
In fact after I received the B340 OTA update, my overnight power drain problem disappeared almost completely, where I used to see a 10/12% drain overnight (between mid-night and 8 AM with phone in airplane mode for that duration) now I see a drain between 1 to 2% only.

It seems that android OS is constantly on, like the phone never goes idle. Neither Doze, nor sleep. How can I fix that? I have already performed a factory reset. So maybe I have to wipe cache too.

Android system always consumes 15-20% of battery. Also I see there is activity during night, which is kinda strange given that it isn't being used. Battery decreased 11% during night even though it was supposed to go into Doze mode.
Also I performed one more factory reset just in case but it didn't have any impact.
Rommco05 said:
Yes something is wrong. First think, you have poor mobile signal. WiFi is still on during the night? Facebook app take lot of battery, try uninstall FB and use Chrome for example. You also using Messenger? If you I suggest use Messenger lite
edit: Android on my phone take +-5% here something wrong

Nah, 7% for Facebook and less for messenger is not the problem. My problem apparently is that the device never goes into Doze or even sleep mode, and Android system never goes idle. I really don't know why is that happening.

Hi all, after owning my S7 G930FD for about 6 months, i've got huge battery drain caused by android system always in top of my battery stats,draining more than the screen. Yesterday i flashed the latest firmware with a FULL wipe, also formatted my sd card, waited until the second cycle and it's back again,i have no idea what the hell is going on, it also happened when the phone still didnt update or install any app after the firmware installation. I remember having similar problem with the S6 on latest MM builds and Nougat, are they doing this on purpose ? Check my screenshot below i just took it right now, my only guess left now is the sd card,i'm not really sure, please tell if you have similar problem or if possible provide your battery stats so i can compare android system usage,thanks in advance :fingers-crossed:

Why you wana calibrate unnecessarily and that too even without root ? U want to calibrate battery, do it non-root method way
Method 1
Discharge your phone fully until it turns itself off.
Turn it on again and let it turn itself off.
Plug your phone into a charger and, without turning it on, let it charge until the on-screen or LED indicator says 100 percent.
Unplug your charger.
Turn your phone on. It's likely that the battery indicator won't say 100 percent, so plug the charger back in (leave your phone on) and continue charging until it says 100 percent on-screen as well.
Unplug your phone and restart it. If it doesn't say 100 percent, plug the charger back in until it says 100 percent on screen.
Repeat this cycle until it says 100 percent (or as close as you think it's going to get) when you start it up without it being plugged in.
Now, let your battery discharge all the way down to 0 percent and let your phone turn off again.
Fully charge the battery one more time without interruption and you should have reset the Android system's battery percentage.

I do not want to calibrate my battery. This is what the AccuBattery terms for reading the battery consumption. Read the entire message and the screenshot message.

Same here quite the drain after the new update. Still bearable but way better before...
