Hello!
I've been experiencing worse battery life on my Nokia 8 since Pie upgrade, I haven't installed any apps nor services...
Note that the battery improved -but not as good as Oreo- after calibration using an app...
Are you experiencing the sane issue? Or should I further investigate?
Thank you..
yes
Same here. I got 12 hours screen on time once on oreo but now, it is a dream. Battery drains fastly due to background services. App restriction doesn't work as well as oreo's restriction. So, this situation causes battery draining. Also there is a weird thing i've faced, battery drains quickly from %100 to %95. I am waiting for Maintenance Release impatiently.
is battery life on oreo really that good?
I'm using pie since day 1 and never got more than 7h sot and 1.5 days.
My battery life is dire since pie, I was impressed with the battery in the 8 until this update, I cant even make a day without having to charge. When I say day I mean from 7am to 10pm as its left charging overnight.
Before pie I could quite happily last 2 days between charges, I'm not a heavy user, initially I thought I must be using the phone more. But I'm actually using it less just so it makes it to the end of the day!
Somehow it's worse again today, dead by 4:30!
Basically just checked phone to see the time, around 10 minutes of faffing in the morning, rebooted it before charging last night incase sonething was using battery. Madness!
For me, I've given my phone a factory reset before I installed the Beta labs/initial final(V5.110, December 2018-January 2019) build. Despite that, I did notice my battery life taking a hit when running this iteration of Pie. I was at most getting not more than 5 hours of SoT on average. And I do use my phone a lot throughout the day, the camera, web browsing, videos and social media. Meanwhile on Oreo, I can get 6 hours on average no problem. Sometimes even 7 hours if I'm lucky.
After updating to V5.140(February 2019) with Adaptive Battery brought in, I seem to have gotten back my average SoC just like when my phone was running Oreo. Running 5-6 hours on average. I'm not sure if Adaptive Battery has anything to do with this since I did notice the improvement immediately. I also disabled some of the Evenwell crap before updating to V5.140, so that may or may not have an effect.
If apps restricted didnt work then try manually restrict each app go to ur up hold it then info Then choose battery from there change background restriction
Ifaced this problem in beta when iwas sleep and wake up morning my battery was almost below 20 percent but i manually restrict all apps and its working 100 percent ?
Sorry to heat that. Have you tried installing some apps like better battery stats to see what exactly is saying up your battery? If your phone is rooted consider installing ForceDoze from f-droid and maybe WakeBlock to regulate some wakelocks that may be the cause of your terrible battery life. I have been able to get great battery life using the latest put version. See screenshot below from a few days ago.
I know that this is old thread but i have solution which i use with my nokia. change default launcher to another lightweight. This works and my battery feel better.
I should of updated, battery went back to normal after newer updates.
However, biggest thing for me, using DNS666 Ad blocker has seemingly doubled my battery life, might be a combination of just gotten bored of the phone or blocking all the ad's saves battery, or a bit of both, its also made the phone feel a lot more responsive overall, i'm using Squarehome as my launcher so maybe that was affecting the battery before?
Maybe which update can fix battery life? I rooted my phone and can't download latest update.

My battery life was fcuked: losing 40%-%50 overnight while it was inactive sitting on the nightstand.
(Factory reset did not help at all!)
Now after futzing with the WIFI setting, last night I lost only 5% total in 8 hours sleep time.
Furthermore battery read 18% remaining at 10:30 PM and still read 18% at 4:17 AM.
Now this is more like what my iPhone 6 gets while sleeping.
What seems to have fixed by battery woes.
I changed the (Advanced) WIFI frequency setting from Automatic to 5Ghz (which would not work at all) and then to 2.4 Ghz only.
As of today I have 87% remaining after 3 hours of casual use (after charging to 100%.) Previously (for the past week since installing Lollipop) I was losing about 25% per hour during casual usage - ridiculously bad battery life.
Hopefully this will work for someone other than myself. I had just listed this thing on Craigslist because I cannot use a phone with 4 hour battery life.
Good luck.
Just set it to the same WiFi setting, will get back with screens.
Thanks though, I have brought this phone recently and thought it was only me getting bad battery life :\ I've had to charge this phone more than I did my nexus 4. I brought it off someone after they had used it for 9 months.
mine
Mine loses 1 or 2% overnight with wifi left on. Luck of the draw i guess.

trsix, what wifi frequency is yours set to? And did you ever alter the freq. setting?
Thanks.

try setting it back to auto and see what happens. IE, try to replicate the issue and the fix.
For me, I went back to KK 4.4.4 factory image and took OTA seems to fix the wifi idle to just same as OP overnight (~5%). But after some use, it can drain quick but not as quick as I was on custom ROM (all kinds I tried).

This can happen when the phone is being moderately used before a longer idle period. The battery percentage will actually go up to compensate for the earlier usage estimation, giving the illusion of zero drop over night. It becomes clear after seeing the graph and the line going up only to drop down to the pre-idle level.
Kind of annoying since I'd like to see how much was actually lost over night. Just something that happens with the estimation process that is our battery level.
I recently switched from 2.4Ghz only back to Auto mode as it seems the WiFi speed drop issues are no longer present on my particular home network. No battery drain or issues yet but I will keep a close eye on it. Thanks for sharing.

I think your statement is true, as I noticed that with OTA updates, my idle over night is very low. However, upon using the phone the battery immediately starting to report drastic drop in percentage number. I mean this is cruel as in it gives us a false sense of battery consumption over all lol.
I will try it thanks
I'm going to give this a try. I've been using an app to turn wifi off when asleep but am still getting higher drain on wifi with the screen on than should be. Will report back after a day or two.
Personally I don't think they fixed the wifi miscellaneous drain and just hid it in the usage stats. My battery life has never been the same since the final dev preview. Luckily I'm always near a charger.

Did you guys read the entire OP?
I have had an overall drastic improvement in battery life - not merely during idle time

Right, I did read the OP and actually did make the same adjustments. However, I didn't see any improvements on my KK 4.4.4 upgraded to L via OTA in terms of idling overnight. My idle stats are very good even prior to the adjustment mentioned and same post adjustments. However, the freaking issue is when I started using the phone.
I think it is varies wildly for each user and their phone.
" the freaking issue is when I started using the phone.”
Indeed, this is another issue with this phone. Battery is too freaking small.
At this point i am back on my iPhone 6. iOS is a bit rigid for my taste, but the thing is fast, great screen, and runs two days on a charge, call quality is superior, louder speaker, etc!
Battery life is critical, yo.

I feel ya, I tried a 5s and iOS 7 out for about 6 months because it looked nice. Had great battery life until I had to jailbreak it to get it to do what I wanted (which is stock/non root stuff on android) and apps from cydia rocked my battery ;-( then it was like why am I having to tweak the crap out of this phone to do simple things I want that shouldn't be a big deal in the first place? Finally just decided to come back to my N5 in the end.

This. I hate how much my battery drains when my screen is on. I'm convinced some of it is Lollipop though. I got a feeling it is also related to the memory leaks.

@Clienterror
Agreed about ios, but it is getting better. The notificatiins just got a lit better....little things are slowly improving.
Something that is GREAT on iOS now: voice to text is screaming fast now, and extremely accurate. I rarely type emails and texts now. No kidding!
I went back to 4.4.4 last night - as while the idle drain was fixed with these settings, the overall battery life while using the phone under LL is still relatively miserable.
4.4.4 seems a bit better...
Now I see that 5.0.1 is apparently being released in the next day or two...we shall see. So far the release notes say nothing about a battery fix.
On 4.4, I observed a massive reduction of WiFi wakelocks by setting static IPs in my home network. So if you have problems, give it a try.
is it possaible some app drain it in overnight?
Does no one else realise that a major OS update needs to "bed in" for a good few days? The battery life performance is a lot better on LP. I've an HTC desire 610 though and it goes days between charges. It's a 420 battery but 1/4 hd screen. You take your choice of features and find your phone/s
Just curious on people's battery life experiences so far. This seems to be the main negative I hear about this device from reviews. I am most likely going to get the device nonetheless.
I don't feel like the battery life is that bad on this device.
I can get through a hole day very easily. I play some games (but not that much), I listen to a lot of music and I use Chrome very often.
Still I have about 40% at the end of the day.
For a device with a 1440*2560 5.7 inch screen and a Snapdragon 810 I reckon that it is pretty good.
I can only tell you to get this device it is awesome
Battery life for me is pretty terrible. The battery drain is significant even when the phone is in idle. I usually have access to a charger throughout the course of a day and I feel the need to keep it connected as often as possible. I still love the phone, but the battery life is the worst I have experienced with any phone I have had in the last couple of years, and I have used many. I leave it on balanced mode for the majority of the day and only switch to performance mode when I am going to play a graphic intensive game.

Yikes. Have you tried any software like Greenify to help alleviate the problem or it still persists ?

No, I haven't tried any apps or other battery profiles. Like I said, I keep it plugged in a lot during the day, so I have never felt the need to see how far I could stretch a single charge. This is also the way I have kept all of my previous phones and the Xiaomi drains the battery the fastest in comparison.
Mine lasts me about 12hours. I listen to music most of the day and I'm a heavy user.
Got the phone 2 days ago. got around 4 hours 15 minutes SOT from 7am till 9pm on the international rom. Better than i was expecting. Hopefully I can improve it further.
I have to admit that over time the battery got worse. That would be because I have more apps etc..
What is your SOT time usually?
I noticed today my battery SOT and idle drain has been really bad. The only thing I think I did diffrently was that I logged onto my miui account last night so i could download themes. I have no use for the miui account other htan the themes so I will try logging out and seeing how things are after it....
2-9% per hour is not bad i guess...
If i use it a lot, then only it will go as far as 11% per hour and mostly because the big QHD screen,
When it sleep, it almost didnt drain...
Of course you have to kill/disable all those stupid google play services... Named it Event Log and Checkin handoff etc etc

Are you still using the Mi note pro?
Hi. I just got my P9 Plus last week. Seems to me people are having insane experiences with their batteries like almost 2 days of usage with quite a fair amount of SOT. However, I'm unable to even get past 1 day without charging my phone in the middle of the day some times. Even if i just use instagram, whatsapp and facebook or surf the net, it drops 10% in less than 45 minutes not sure if that's normal? I checked the consumption levels and something called Android system was the highest for some reason. I read online some reviews they tested the battery life by runnning a video for 90 minutes and they only dropped 13%. I lose 5% in less than 20 minutes. Again, Android system was the highest. I then tested it myself, I just played Summoner's war, watched youtube and dramas, then when my batter dropped from 100% to 40% I checked the consumption, though I expected the Screen and the Game to take up bulk of the usage, Android system claims top spot again for some reason. Is this normal or do I have a faulty phone/battery?
I feel sorry for what you are experiencing because such a battery loss is definitely not normal. I have P9Plus(dual SIM version L29) and I put it on charger every 2 days with SOT 7 to 8hours(over 8 hours is not uncommon). It's definitely the best mobile I've ever had - batterywise and otherwise too.
First thing I would do would be updating the firmware and clearing the cache and even reset to factory mode. Install just few basic apps u feel you can't live without and observe how is battery doing. In this way you can eliminate the fact that your batt drain is caused by some app conflict etc. You should disable wi-fi/bt scanning(it is useless anyway) and location services too. If you can, disable the autosync too. Later on you can enable it again and see if it changes anything.
If no improvement you can post the print-screen of your battery data here so we can take a look and maybe we can figure out something.
Last idea that comes to mind is that you were unlucky and have faulty battery - just look at Samsung's Note7 and what kind of headaches their own battery gave to them. Sometimes it just happens that battery may come faulty from manufacturing.
Guys, just asking for those already running EMUI 5 build on Huawei P9, have you guys face problem such as battery drain very fast? My P9 battery draining very fast until I have to charge OR bring my powerbank with me all the time. Is it the latest build caused the battery run fast? or there are something wrong with my phone?
Start by checking third party apps, my battery is great, it's the first phone I've had that I don't really think about charging, it gets through the day every day with heavy use.

don't use beta build if u are not willing to receive bugs
Check the battery logs for imonitor. I had high battery usage by this process - it may be that the beta has higher analytics so that's using more battery (and therefore should be fixed for full release).
Do you have root?
If you do, install that: http://www.onexuan.com/battery/
Or, pro version (you know what to do if you have root): http://www.opgpro.com/
If you don't have a root, play a bit with: Settings\Advanced Settings\Battery Manager\Protected Apps - Put "some" or all to sleep when screen is off...
Same here... Even with power saving mode enabled
Hi had issues with the battery on mine but I think it was down to being rooted and some other software that was on it. Since flashing it back to stock the battery life is so much better. Easily gets through a day now.
Can Phone Manager be silent battery killer? It closes all apps (except protected) when you turn off screen and you have to relaunch them again. I've read in multiple sources that you shouldn't be closing manually apps because in newer Androids RAM management is great and closing/opening again apps will consume more battery that just leaving them be?
P9 battery is damaged after 6 months here. Also a small spot appeared behind the back of my screen. Send it to warranty. They said the battery bloated inside and was pushing in the screen. Replaced both battery and screen. It seems there is a huge battery problem with all p9....
I'm running EMUI 4.1.1 and the battery drain is real.
Left it at 100% charge when I went to bed yesterday and when I woke up this morning battery percentage had already decreased by 12% (88% charge left). That's insane.
So did anyone else get terrible batterylife with andeoid 10?
I went from 8h SOT to about 5h.
Am thinking of downgrading cause before it was the best phone ive ever had
There isn't 10 for my csc yet
Anybody else confirming bad battery life on 10?
how where you getting 8hours sot... i was getting 6 and now 5 but i do have a lot more idle cause of the quarantine

Wish I could tell you. All I know is it was the best battery I've seen. Was using it 'normally' and throughout 24 hours I got 7-8 hours battery life always, every single day for half a year. With music streaming for 1-2h, some browsing, location on, bluetooth on, and all apps like facebook, instagram etc. disabled.
Now I get 2 hours 20 mins and its already on 48%. Android 10 was a garbage and I wish I could downgrade without much hassle. I cannot find out what is draining the battery, there is no app. If I account for the apps it has used around 1000mah or less, which is 1/3rd, wihc would put me at around 70% - that would be my old battery life. But there is something else draining 20-30% battery and it is not shown in the battery reports, I am using accubatterry.
I really hate it, now I hate this phone
Battery draining mainly depends on how device is used, means how much CPU/GPU are stressed. Has NOTHING to do with Android OS itself: an OS is a piece of software, nothing else, an OS doesn't consume electric power. It are all the running apps/services - either running in foreground or in background, for example Location Providers & Google Play Services - that drain the battery, as also the activated hardware components like the screen, WiFi, GPS, SIM-cards, BlueTooth, etc.pp. even if device is in standby mode. It are the device's power management settings what control the behavior of Android phones that could affect the system's power consumption, such as adjusting lighting, handling the phone's sleep, and the wake-up, idle, turn-off timing, back lighting or display brightness of the device. It are the device implementers who define the related constants suitable to their devces, it's NOT Google , the developers of Android. With regards to Samsung S10 devices it's worldwide known that it has a very poor power management compared to others.
BTW: Since Android 9, the platform can monitor apps for behavior that negatively affects the battery life of devices.
No matter what you do to your device, it will never stop draining the battery.

You have no idea what you are talking about and should stop wasting everyones time talking about that
So I simply reset my phone and I am back to 8h SOT and happy again.
3h42mins with 62% of the battery at like 8h usage
And after about 15h usage at 51% with 4h10mins SOT ?
I also got terrible battery life after the 10 upgrade.
What do you mean by reset? How?

A simple factory reset, type reset in your settings in the search bar and do a factory reset.
It will delete everything, so make a backup before
