Honor 6 EMUI Power Saving Actually Worsens The Battery...

I've generally been happy with my Honor 6, but one thing thats irritated me is the inbuilt power saving - how it's constantly informing me that certain apps are consuming power, or how it causes conflicts with actual working power savers like Greenify and Amplify.... even when they are whitelisted I still have problems (with Greenify especially). IMO It's fairly obvious that all that background management is actually going to have a negative effect on the battery, not just when it's constantly checking for 'high power apps' but when you need to reopen the closed down ones again. And with how Android actually works, there's actually no need at all for battery saving apps that are constantly freeing up memory in the background!
Yes there''s the ultra saving mode, but that disables much needed features and (for me) can't be switched off without fully rebooting the phone. And yes, you can switch the power saving to 'normal' but I'm not sure if that still means it's trying to do background management?, so last night I decided to find out if I can fully disable it. and it turns out it's called 'Phone Manager 3.30.20' (you may have a different version depending on what you're running) and that it can be frozen via Titanium Backup... it causes no negative effects when disabled and just disappears from the settings menu altogether without needing to reboot.
In the attached image... after the dip around 55-60% where I disable it you can see that although not making massive improvements to the battery life it has improved it somewhat :good: Worth a try if you're OCD like me when it comes to battery life!

Isn't permissions manager part of phone manager?
Do you still have control over apps permissions?

Well all apps which i constantly use and don't want power manager to notify, i turn off the power notification for that individual app. And then removed much of the annoying part.

Explanation of Nougat Battery Consumption and Workarounds for Better Battery Life

Hello guys. This topic is pretty long and it is hard to read all of it but try to read all of it till end.
Well, let me begin. The main problem of the nougat update is the dramatic increase of battery consumption (for me at least) But why this is happening?
Actually this is a matter of battery managers. Huawei had created a great phone but obviously they messed things up in the software side. Google announced "Doze" feature with Marshmallow. If we could have a brief explanation of "what doze is" is it is basically a battery protection policy created by google. In Android, apps have the ability to use what’s called a “wakelock” to prevent your phone from going into a power-saving deep sleep mode. This deep sleep mode usually kicks in when your phone’s screen is off, but that can get in the way of how some apps work. For example, if you’re using a fitness tracker, you don’t want your phone turning off GPS or your accelerometer just because your phone is in your pocket with the screen turned off.
In principle, this is a good concept. Apps keep your phone awake and working when they need to, and let it sleep when they don’t. This is a problem, though, when every developer thinks their app is important enough to keep your phone on all the time. That’s why apps like Facebook kill your battery, even when you’re not using them.
Doze helps solve this problem by periodically blocking wakelocks and shutting off network access if your phone goes unused for a while. It will then periodically allow apps to check in during “maintenance windows” every so often (these windows occur less frequently the longer you don’t use your device). Here is a graphical explanation of how doze works versus time:

It will then periodically allow apps to check in during “maintenance windows” every so often (these windows occur less frequently the longer you don’t use your device)
If we turn back to the main topic, as I mentioned before, Huawei has some difficulties combining it's own features with google's. Huawei has its own battery manager. That's why you are not receiving some notifications from facebook or whatsapp. That is because that freaking battery manager shuts everything off but still, since it has a very poor approach, the system drains battery. It is basically a matter of doze does not kicking in. As you can see, the battery usage when the screen is turned on is about the same. However, the same thing cannot be seem when the screen is off.
So what to do in order to save some juice?
-There is some workarounds for doze kicking in like these ones:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yirgalab.dzzz
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.suyashsrijan.forcedoze
These two apps have different approaches. I prefer ForceDoze as it seems the google's intended way.
I want to highlight this item because this might be the most important thing in this topic. If you don’t do anything with your phone, Doze will still do its job. It runs almost invisibly in the background. Occasionally you’ll get a few messages at once, rather than spread over a few minutes, but for the most part there’s no noticeable change. In other words this is a bit different from the conventional full deep sleep and you do not have to afraid from doze as you do with the full deep sleep.
-DO NOT CLEAN YOUR RAM TOO OFTEN. This will cause closed apps re-open and hence, more cpu usage.
-No! Cleaners, Task managers and other stuff does not work! As I mention before, they even lead more battery consumptions.
-Huawei has poor google service implementations. Even one or two implementation has some bugs that causing battery drain(for example: google backup). Try to turn them off.
-Know when to reboot your phone. Too frequent reboots may do the same thing as you cleaning your ram. However, rebooting cleans app caches so the system will work smoother. Once a week or two weeks is fine I suppose.
Please hit the "Thanks" button if you like and please point out the missing things and if you see a mistake please warn me for correcting it. I hope you liked the topic.
Have a nice day!

Doze is problem for me. I don't have push notification by the night.

It's probably not because of the doze but the huawei's power manager itself.

Problem starts when phone is not active longer than 2-3 hours. In root I removed phone manager and it did not help fix the push notification problem

Assuming that you are on huawei release (not los releases), untick your app from close apps after screen lock. Then go to apps, settings, special access, and make the system ignore battery optimizations for the spesific app you want to get notification from.

I did everything what I can without succes.

first thanks for this tip. i hate it that i dont receive whatsapp messenges all the time, i hope it will work now.
BTP:
I assume huawei did not remove "doze" from our firmware, but maybe they replaced it with theire own battery manager?
Is there a complete source for doze, so we can check if everything is there? If yes it should not be that hard to activate doze and deactivate the huawei one.
But i guess we need at least the kernel sources to clear things up?

Doze is not on kernel level but it is on software level. Programmatically we can activate what is left from doze or at least simulate it. However, if there is a certain need for doze we should cook a whole new rom and yes, it requires open source too.
But, let's clear a thing here: Huawei did not completely removed doze. Actually, I think they can't do that if they wish to use Android. Just some settings of Huawei conflicts with doze and prevent its functioning.

I'm using the honor 9 with emui 5.1 (android 7.0) and screebl (app used to control how and when screen locks/times out) is constantly getting killed. I have added it to ignore(=allow to run) in battery optimization and it's activated as a device administrator. It is not selected to close (power intensive app prompt) or instructed to close when screen goes off. Yet it repeatedly is getting killed - is there something else I need to do? I can't seem to find anything else I can do to stop it from being killed and it's a major nuisance.

I also have and Honor 9, and have the same problem with aplicacition radardroid. Is getting killed, and also have all configured to prevent this...

Try by having both in the Settings
-Battery/Close apps after lock screen (uncheck in the list)
-Apps/Settings gear/Special access/Ignore battery optimization (make it allowed)

Thank szgfg,
Both are already well configured, but still closing the app.

Check also is not being closed by the automatic cleanup (so add it to clean whitelisted apps) and that is not being closed due to high consumption...disable that on battery settings... Let the advertisement but do not let phone administrator close that apps automatically
Enviado desde mi EVA-L09 mediante Tapatalk

Hi jcalderonv74,
Thanks for your answer. I didn't know about the clean whitelisted apps, was a surprise to find it. But unfortunetly, everything was well configured.
Option to avoid being closed due to high consumption was already OK.
So nothing to change, everything was as it has to be. Seems more a software problem in EMUI 5.0

After some days without touching anything in the phone's configuration, finally observed that everything is working fine. All aplications configured keep opened, and it's only Radardroid aplication that sometimes closes alone (only sporadically after a recent update)
Seems more an error in Radardroid aplication that in telephone's software. So I'm not worring more about that.

Aggressive Task Killer

So, Sense has always been this way for a while (the HTC EVO 4G LTE was the worst of them all), and I see that the U11 with *almost stock* software and 4GB of RAM is not enough for it to keep a few more apps in the background.
This is bothersome when trying to play games that start over every time that I switch to another app! Even XDA just restarted and I lost half of this post that I was writing. I don't actually see it as a bug or faulty software...just very aggressive RAM management.
Is there any solution to this? Do custom ROMS even solve this issue?

+1, I'd also like to see how to make the RAM management less aggressive. Right now when I play a game, then switch to Chrome, Facebook, or even just public transport timetables app and then go back, game usually starts over. I thought 4 GB of RAM would be enough to have two games loaded, apparently not

I don't think that the 4GB of RAM is to blame. There is no justification for closing a game to send a TEXT! I think that they just try to keep as much RAM available at all times, at the cost of convenience.

Boost+ enabled,?

Yeah I think it's the boost+ app. Uninstall it and check. I don't use it and I just launched 25apps and none of them reloads.
Update: hmmm actually they started reloading after 3 mins. Not all of them but half. Wierd. I don't mind though as long as the battery stays like this.

In boost+ I don't allow the background optimizer to kick in in less than 3 days on apps I want to run in background, so that's probably not it.

Neither do I. Even coming from a fresh install and rejecting Boost+, the Task Killer is still aggressive.
I think that it depends on the OOM settings (I think that is the correct acronym...haven't dealt with those for a WHILE....).

I was getting frustrated with a lot of my apps pretty much closing every time I backed out of them causing me to have a huge delay in getting notifications as a best case scenario, and sometimes not getting any at all unless I actually opened the app again, Facebook/Messenger being the biggest culprits, but many others too.
Looking in Settings/Power/Battery Optimization I found that nearly all my apps say they are being optimized. I've never used Boost+ so it seems they have defaulted to this. After toggling a few apps to Not Optimized I've found that these apps no longer close and need to reload when I back out, and notifications come through in a timely manner. Battery life seems unaffected, I still easily get through a day and have at least 50% remaining at bed time. Might be worth looking at

Bro....thank...you! This definitely made a difference so far.... I'll pay attention to see if it makes a big difference in the long run...

Testing as well, thanks! It doesn't seem connected to Boost+ and appears all my apps are optimized by default - even those I never ran on this phone.

Yeah it had me stumped at first but I noticed it last week and changed it then and have had no problems since. Hopefully it sorts it for you too

Still restarting apps quicker than I prefer, but much better. Thanks!

The problem is android and how it handles apps. If you want to switch apps then use the recents list to use the multi app function (splitscreen).

•Try to find the issues of this load otherwise doing a hard reset may only land you in the same situation.
Lot of junk running... do you need it?
A package blocker like PD MDM can be used to turn off bloatware.
Cloud services and Goggle backup tend to be habitual offenders.
Turn off Google, Samsung and carrier feedback.
I had a lot of trouble with ARcore, disable it if you aren't using augmented reality applications.
Clear data on Goggle Backup Transport, Goggle Framework and google.android.gms.policy.
Clear system cache and log files with a cleaner.
SD Maid does a good job.
I use the old version of Device Care to clean the cache when it used 360° however I block internet access when it runs then package block it because of the Chinese junk in it. It's a good cache cleaner
•Turn off 3rd party power management apks and like Adroid manage its self. Don't set apps to sleep.
•Clear system cache on the boot menu.
In Developer options in Running Services, see what's running. In Stand By Apps all buckets should show as active, if not power management is being used. Android will power them down when not in use even if shown as active.
•Monitor your battery milliamp draw in realtime; at idle it should go down as low as 60 ma at times and average about 180-300 ma at idle. Frequent or sustained spikes in the 400-1000+ range indicate excessive cpu activity; find what's doing it. Examine what was recently opened or cache when the drain starts in Running Services in Developer Options.
•Before doing a hard reset try resetting Settings; it's less drastic and time consuming.
•If you do a hard reset be more careful during setup.
Avoid loading a bunch of junk 3rd party apps... keep it clean. Test new 3rd party apps before the reload if you can.
Play with it... observe and play some more... you will find it.
Go through all the settings, poke around, see what's there and learn what it does. Unlike playing in the Windows Registry it's relatively safe to do and fun

appreciate the suggestion. Considering I had all the same apps on my note 10 and didn't have similar issue. Am incline to believe issue is related to restoring with smart switch. So will consider doing a reset when I have the time to set everything up manually.

I don't like smart switch or trust it. This type of Samsung apk has failed me miserably before... bugware.
The 10+ between Goggle, Samsung and carrier apks can be witchy. Lots of junk that does nothing for you and creates conflicts that suck resources/power/internet bandwidth are all too common.
Since each configuration is different you need to play with it.
Without root you lack advanced diagnostic tools which makes it more difficult as if Google wants it that way... effective real time monitors I can use in Windows are completely missing in Android.

Note 20 ultra user here myself, by chance have you got mobile hotspot active? Or the auto hotspot running? Just done a Google search for the service and found this thread. For me turning off the hotspot and auto hotspot stopped the battery drain for this service in its tracks. I have also noticed the phone getting alarmingly hot 50c to 55c when it is switched on and in use, though saying that I'm finding general use makes the phone uncomfortably hot to hold

Im using N20 ultra exynos version and only in the beginning the phone would get hot and battery life is very poor. After about 3-4 weeks im seeing a massive improvement in device performance and battery life. Using ccswe to disable packages. Naptime helping stand by battery drain as well.

Hey! Thank you so much for your tips. Can you please point out a good app for measuring standby power usage? I used to use Gsam Battery Monitor Pro, but that no longer seems to be compatible with my Snapdragon Note 20 Ultra. I don't get accurate reading and it seems the dev has abandoned the app (last update Jan 2020)

have DevCheck installed. Does the Pro version allow to keep it running in the background collecting data for analysis later? I specifically want to understand how much is the drain in standby mode and whether T-mobile 5G could also be the culprit here?

Looks like DevCheck won't collect data silently in the background. So any recommendations for a reliable app to measure standby drain would be very welcome.

Accurate enough for me to determine what is using my battery and make necessary adjustments, yes.
So when you tried that already, what did you come up with? You see MDE Framework in there?

The mde service framework is a system service that enables media playback on Android devices. It provides APIs to support the following media playback operations:
- playing audio and video files
- streaming audio and video content
- recording audio and video
- managing playback queue
- managing media player settings
The mde service framework is implemented in the media server process and uses the MediaDrm API to support DRM-protected content. See also https://grouphowto.com/mde-service-framework/

Prevent medium power saving mode from disabling background location access?

Ive got a SM-N770F/DS and I always have medium power saving mode on. I have also always had an issue with Google Maps not wanting to detect location after I turn the screen off. I assumed it was a google issue until I turned optimized power saving mode on today and Maps suddenly started reading my location and giving directions while the screen was off. Is it possible to disable the "prevent background location access" part of medium power saving mode? Long pressing my power saving settings doesnt give any options to do this, im thinking my only option is to root. Would rooting fix this? If so, does anyone know of some roms on here that would allow me to do this? I dont care about much else from the rom, I like the phone as is and this is the only issue I have with it

Do not toggled on any power management other than the power mode (optimized) and fast charging.
They screw up functionality and increase battery usage on my unrooted 10+ running on Pie.
In Developer options>standby apps all buckets should show as active otherwise power management is active. Android will manage apps well without any power management options turned on. Track down any remaining battery hogs on a per case basis and deal directly with them. Sometimes closing the window gets it done like with Brave. Others need to be dealt with by package disabler and/or Karma Firewall.
This may or may not help you.
Gmaps is crapware. Runs best on original factory load and is a parasitic drain wanting to constantly run in the backup from boot sucking up battery and bandwidth.
Unlike you my goal is to keep it from doing this
Also review Gmaps notification and other settings. It's a mess; buried settings galore.

I feel like I have experienced the opposite. I felt like my battery was draining faster with optimized on today (2nd pic) compared to the past few days with medium power saving on (first pic). Obviously more testing needs to be done to see. Going off of the pics I lost about 50% each day, so optimized seems to be worse for battery life but the reduced screen on time makes up for it in this scenario
