Standby drain - Honor 8 Real Life Review

When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the Honor 8's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

During the night it drained around 2 % in about 12 -14 hours when I was not using it.

hardly any standby drain for me at all.

I lost about 3-4 percent in one night, i guess that's good for a high end phone. My old Acer never seemed to lose any power during the night (maybe 1 percent)

with or without airplane mode? I find it drains very fast 3% per hour when airplane mode is not on. Turn airplane mode and wifi on it drains around 1% every 3 hours. On Honor 7 there is no difference between airplane mode on or off. Strange.

Normal mode. Try switching off you data and wifi. Remove facebook and other similar apps from white list. The best way is to put the phone in ultra power saving mode. One doesn't use the phone anyway while sleeping.

On normal mode. Now that i am using the phone more i find that i loose 6 to 7 % in one night, it doesn't make a difference if i close all apps or leave them open.

Data and wifi are off, just having airplane mode off makes it drain a few % per hour. Airplane mode + wifi on is okay.
I should mention there is no sim in the phone.
But also no sim in Honor 7 and doesn't show the same behaviour. No difference in drain between airplane mode on or off.

So tonight i tried the ultra battery mode, still lost 6% battery in standby. Doesn't make a difference at all. This makes me think the battery loss has to do with the radio signal.

I really think the cell radio in Honor 8 has a very high power consumption, much more than on other phones

that's kinda weird. I lost arnd 1-2% last night in the ultra mode. Check the battery stats for any power draining app. I hope its not a hardware issue.
I am at 20% right now with very light use in the past days. Chk my stats.

Need to see graph showing standby drain whilst network is active.. otherwise I'm doubtful. The chinese forum is full of posts of similar standby drain. Btw, which rom version are you on?

I lost around 18% x night, I come from the p9 lite and it it was definitely better battery life, my honor is downscaled in 720p for battery and profile to intelligent.. It's not possible all that huge drain

Had the issue too;
1. Battery -> Close apps after screen lock -> Select all [or the ones you want to wake the screen]
2. Battery -> Settings Icon -> Unselect Keep WiFi on when sleeping
I have found its the WiFi that stays on and drains the device under 5.0 very fast. WiFi in general seems to draw a larger amount of battery power than it used too, so be sure you want it on. Turning WiFi off changed the drain from 40-70% over night to 2% over night so its definitely worth looking into.

Thats the same more or less as what the graph looked like on the 5.0 emui when I looked into the huge drop in battery power over night. The WiFi is on the whole time and it draws a lot of power.

goes to sleep quite well and little battery drain

Hardly any standby drain

I noticed a lot of battery drain (~5% overight) for EMUI5.0 as well (B320 from Charles). I have wifi and location (battery saving) on all the time and never experienced as much drain in EMUI4.1. I'll try this and report back.

Help! Monstrous power consumption!

Hello guys,
according to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=937080
with data connection ON, WiFi and GPS OFF, i should take 3-10 mA every 5-10 minutes, that result in 1% battery loss per hour..
but when i use it just for a little bit, it sucks the heck out of my Battery! i get rapid battery drops! when i leave it overnight it decreases from 100% to about 95% and then when i just browsing for like 5 minutes it decreases to 85%!!! why is this happening!
i have installed the battery friendly ROM, ARHD v21.0
and i have installed XM kernel #305 with "smartmax" governor to save my battery without reducing performance...
but this rapid drops annoys the hell out of me!
so how to overcome this? please show me the way/steps... thanks
Maybe there is some app which is preventing the phone from going into deep sleep....
Post a screen shot from GSam battery monitor or BetterBatteryStats. (Kernel wakelock and partial wakelock.)

Noo.. i'm talking about the quick and rapid battery drops!
the phone deep sleeps fine overnight, but when i use it just for a little bit after that, the battery level is decreasing like crazy!
so i like losing 1% charge every 30 seconds or so...
i have checked *#*#4636#*#* and it's fine and peace, until i use it for a 5-10 minute browsing..

Search for "battery calibrator" on the Play Store, and then do what it says. It might just help.

It's normal m8! When your device wakes up from deep sleep, even though the battery stats say 4-5% drain, it actually consumes more... so for the first 15-30 mins, the battery will drop like crazy! Then it will settle down after 10% drop...
However, I didn't find such battery drops on a Sense ROM... Wait for 3-4 battery circles... don't charge in between let it drain out fully till your mobile switches off automatically and then charge it back to 100% without disconnecting..
OK so this is my log file from CurrentWidget:

1.3- Monitoring your battery behaviour
To evaluate the behavior of your phone, leave it asleep (but not shutdown) a whole night, or at least 2 consecutive hours. Do this with Bluetooth, GPS, and WiFi OFF, data connection ON. Then open the log file. A typical and normal log should look like that :
2011/02/01 03:48:12,-5mA,55%
2011/02/01 03:53:20,-3mA,55%
2011/02/01 03:57:54,-66mA,55%
2011/02/01 04:07:46,-5mA,55%
2011/02/01 04:08:51,-5mA,55%
2011/02/01 04:18:44,-7mA,55%
2011/02/01 04:23:20,-3mA,55%
2011/02/01 04:33:13,-3mA,55%
2011/02/01 04:38:19,-3mA,54%
2011/02/01 04:48:12,-3mA,54%
2011/02/01 04:53:20,-3mA,54%
2011/02/01 04:58:12,-3mA,53%
2011/02/01 05:08:20,-3mA,53%
2011/02/01 05:18:13,-8mA,53%
2011/02/01 05:28:05,-5mA,53%
2011/02/01 05:37:58,-5mA,53%
2011/02/01 05:48:44,-5mA,53%
You see here that the battery drain flow is continually between 3-8 mA, with only one peek at 66 mA. It results in only 2 % battery lost in 2 hours. When in standby, your phone should lose roughly 1 %-charge per hour.

how can i overcome this?
*edit* yes i know the battery is still 48% but it's a d*mn lie..
i suppose there's a solution coz mine's a battery hog
No reply yet?
No one can solve that for you... All I can say is.. flash the rom again... with full wipe.. and don't restore any apps!
Fully charge it to 100% and wait for the current widget to display 0ma...
Now put your phone in deep sleep and check the discharge... If it's normal then install the apps one by one and keep checking the discharge every now and then... I'm sure you will find the mischievous app!
No offence, but are you expecting a battery that never drains? 1% an hour is fairly good on stand-by, I drain 2.8% on average PER HOUR with NO USE.
Thats with Tasker doing its thing also
So please don't complain about loosing 1% an hour!
Try :
Tasker
WLD
BBS
I just know that i use 2 messenger app that is WhatsApp and Line, so i need active data connection..
so i just can't uninstall these apps, most of my friend's is in there... i don't know about facebook but i have Google calendar and i put my friend's birthdays from facebook in there..
the last option i have is Undervolting, which i don't know how..
anyone got any idea how to undervolt CPU? and GPU maybe :silly:

Well TBH, i didnt lose any battery, or maybe 1-2% overnight with data connection ON..
when i leave my phone at 48% after browsing, i overslept and found out in the morning my battery is still 48%, although when i use it a bit after that it drops to 47% in one minute...
Damn my battery detection system is innacurate... :silly:

Yeah, so what's causing this?
and as an additional question, how to undervolt my CPU? in my Tickster Mod app i don't see that option..
i'm more of a daily user and not much of a gamer so undervolting should be fine.
i prefer battery life more than high performance...
Hello? No reply yet?...
so how to undervolt my CPU?
Does this power consumption started a few days ago?
It appears to be a new bug in the maps, preventing the phone from getting a location, and going in super heat/super discharge.
Other people are discussing in this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2285408
well well seems like i am not the only one with this (no drain while sleep and crazy drain while awake) problem
my problem is pretty same as yours using same kernel and same rom(except mine is #296 XM)
so far i havnt found a solution yet(right now i disabled fb and maps,,did a full discharge and letting it charge to 100 % in shutdown state) hoping it fixes the problem
and a bit of advice DON'T undervolt i think my device got like this after i UVed and got shutdowned while it was UVed though i did restore my default UV values it still didnt help(battery still getting milked)
i will reply if my battery did improve after this battery cycle

still draining 1% per minute with just text viewing and navigating thourgh menus and slight net.have all wakelocks killed...all background apps closed..getting -185 mah with all apps closed(including fb and maps) in current widget...
i really am gonna go mad now...i will do just one more battery cycle and gonna go to renovate if that doesnt do it...
Try deep sleep battery saver, it works well for me
edit: you may also want to try out different RIL

WTF was that?

yesterday went to sleep with around 23% battery, turned wifi off, mobile data off, and when i woke up this morning, well, my phone was completely discharged, first time that happens to me, normally it would spend 2 or 3 % overnight, the other strange thing is that there were no wakelocks, but it seems that greenify drained my battery!
It happens. Sometimes apps meant to increase battery life do the opposite.
My guess is you greenified something you should not have and turning off WiFi and data made it go nuts.
First.... Check what your greenified apps are. If they aren't known battery hog apps, you probably shouldn't be greenifying them.
Second.... No need to turn off data or WiFi. WiFi on automatically firms off data, for starters.... And you should get good standby with WiFi on anyway.
See your graph.... As soon as you turned those off, your phone was held awake. Something really needed a connection, couldn't get it and kept your phone awake all night.
---------- Post added at 10:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:37 PM ----------
And in my opinion...the Turn off WiFi when screen is off option is not battery friendly either. That cause your phone to have to connect every time you turn on the screen. It does more harm than good. My WiFi is on 24/7 and I get 0.5 or less standby drain per hour.
Also, Greenify is not a battery drainer normally. But greenifying the wrong apps can certainly be.

Doubts about battery A5 2017

Hi, I have doubts about the battery or need advices.
When I go to sleep at night and wake up in the morning (6 - 7 hours), the phone drains about 15 - 20%, is it normal?
When I go to sleep I put it in mid power saving, 80% brightness, wi fi and AoD activated, blue filter activated, auto brightness checkbox deactivated and in settings -> maintenance I erase RAM.
Even though, the battery lasts 36 hours or more.
Thanks in advance.
That's normal standby for most devices, though I don't really lose as much percentage overnight by just closing all apps before I go to bed and keeping the brightness low while leaving WiFi and Location Services on. I go to bed with 60% and wake up 7 hours later with around 50%, so maybe you're doing something wrong. But 15-20% overnight isn't really a big deal at all considering how fast this phone charges.; you get 20% back by charging for just 15 minutes. You'd really over ever notice a difference in standby time if you're coming from an iPhone which has the best standby time in the business, but this phone makes up for it just fine.

I see. In fact, last night it went from 60 to 51, so it depends on a lot of things.
Do you say I must change/add some other settings to improve the battery life?

I knew for sure that my battery life increased exponentially when the phone started dozing apps I didn't frequently use. The phone hibernates apps after 3-7 days of not being used, but you can put them to sleep yourself in Device Maintenance.
Advice
I lost just 1-5 at the night I stop AoD,and wifi if you use Facebook app or social media apps will drain battery faster than when using browser it's better.:good:

Where exactly do I put apps to sleep? Or may I force them to stop? (don't know if it is said like that, I have it in Spanish).

Only 1-5% ? Amazing. Yeah, but if you deactivate wifi, you won't get any notifications of anything during the night (if you think about it, you won't answer any because you are sleeping). Maybe I'll try that.
I don't use Facebook too much, but the browser version is a bit slower and not comfortable IMO.
The principal app that drains my battery is the PvZ2, though.
It will disconects wifi even when you turn it on... I lose abou 2 to 3 % night, but I dont see point of having device on during night so now I power it ofd

Settings > Device Maintenance > Battery > Check the apps you don't frequently use and tap Save Power. If you choose to sleep Instagram, for example, you can still open it anytime later by just tapping the app, it'll just take an extra second to start which you won't even notice.

Instead of turning it off completely, you can also use the maximum power saving mode. Using that, I went to sleep with 97% and once I checked after waking up it was 96%.
I didn't measure the boot time of the device (not that I even care about it) but disabling the power saving mode might be a bit faster than turning the phone on.
Thanks all of you!
It is NOT normal for battery to drain 15-20% overnight.
Normal drain in that period would be 1-2% without AOD and 4-5% with AOD.
Battery wise A5 '17 have good one. I usually get about 7 hrs on SOT with medium ussage or 1.5 days ussage.

25% battery consumption overnight...

Hi everyone
hope this is a good place for this. I just bought a brand new P2 and yesterday I was doing some configuring for it and updated it to 7.0 (S244 stock). I did wipe it after all the updates according to instructions on this forums. Before going to sleep I charged it to 100%, unplugged the charger and left the phone with all connectivity (wifi, lte, bt, nfc etc.) turned off. I expected 2-5% battery drop but when I woke up in the morning it went down by 25% (!). Also my wallpaper changed to black colour(?). Something's definitely wrong What can I do about this?
Power manager shows the system as the main source of battery drain.
Another thing I noticed is that the video (YouTube, VLC) and alarm sounds are stuttered, there is like 0.5 sec lag every 10-15 secs...
Please someone tell me if this is normal and what can I do? Should I do factory reset once again or maybe flash the firmware? Can that help?
UPDATE:
I have found that the cause of the baterry drain problem is the CPU, it does not go to deep sleep at all and CPU-Z shows that it constantly jumps beetwen 652Mhz and 1401 or 1689Mhz on all 8 cores (even with no apps in the background and all connectivity turned off). Please have a look at my screenshots from GSam Battery Monitor:
https://photos.app.goo.gl/vCVRlHbnKxWr8X1m1
https://photos.app.goo.gl/HwZqMuQFPHLK9C2D3
https://photos.app.goo.gl/eV8uRP3AZ4SARze03
Clearly something is wrong, any suggestions? Please guys tell me something.
Is nobody else experiencing this? Does no one have ANY suggestions for me whatsoever? I did a factory reset, phone is still losing 1-2% battery per hour with all connectivity and screen OFF. So basically it loses per hour what it should lose during whole night.
Are you on Nougat or Lollipop?
Can you post up the system battery stats from the phone.
Which apps have you installed?
Try these...

Obviously the deep sleep is not happening in your unit. Let's see what is the root of this problem:
1) Settings > WLAN > cog-wheel icon > Keep WLAN on during sleep = Never.
2) Settings > Power manager > Battery saver > On.
3) Settings > Data usage > Data saver > On. Ensure zero apps is allowed to use unrestricted data when Data Saver is on.
4) Charge the device till 100% (do it before bedtime).
5) Turn on Airplane mode.
6) See the per hour drain the next morning. It should be between 0.1% to 0.3% per hour in the GSam Battery Monitor app (assuming you slept for 8 hours).
If the above result is true, meaning, there is / are 3rd party apps that trigger the wake lock activity. But which app(s) to be blamed? Please list down the apps list for us to test in our unit.
@Treboeth, Nougat (s244) as I wrote in the first post. Battery stats after the night attached below.
@azeemzuhair Thank you for your input. Im going to describe what I did. Yesterday I did the factory reset, I didnt install ANY new applications (except for Alarmy but I needed it and phone was losing same amount of energy without it). So the only apps that drain the phone are the system apps themself. Before going to sleep I charged the device to 100%. As for points 1-3 from your post both WiFi and Data were OFF as well as bluetooth and NFC. I left it for the night with screen OFF. These are results after the night (SoT 1 min., standby 9 hours, 22% of battery gone, so that gives approximately 2% discharge rate per hour). This is clearly terrible. Any ideas what next?

@Treboeth, Nougat (s244) as I wrote in the first post. Battery stats after the night attached below.
@azeemzuhair Thank you for your input. Im going to describe what I did.

Thank you for interest in my problem!
Airplane vs active SIM stand-by drain...
Airplane mode stand-by drain @ 0.1% per hour:
Single SIM Active mode stand-by drain @ 0.5% per hour:
Ok, so I left it in Airplane mode for the night and the discharge rate was 0.2%, that is some progress. After that I charged it to 100%, unplugged, disabled the Airplane mode and left it for 5 hours. Battery drain is due to SIM card and phone although they were not used and the signal was good. Everything can be seen in these screenshots:

Any ideas?

My hypothesis is that the "Alarmy" app caused the wakelock. By judging at the Airplane mode, Alarmy still wakes the "CPU". You may try to uninstall it and monitor the energy consumption for the next 3 days...

Alarmy is not the problem, take a look at screenshots from today's morning:

The problem is SIM card and "Phone" but the reception in my area is exceptional as can be seen from one of the screenshots.
Network reset...

Try "Network Reset"
Still the same? Wipe cache partition in the stock Lenovo Recovery.
Finally, hard reset is the last resort.
Thank your for your reply. Removing SD card fixed the SIM management drain but the "Phone Services" still drain the battery. I did the network settings reset and will see if it helps. As for cache wipe and factory reset I'd like to remind that the whole troubleshooting process started with factory reset so I dont know if that can help.

I decided to return this chinese crap, took Samsung instead, no battery drain so far. Thank your for your help!

Cell Standby Drain - is there a fix?

Currently my phone is at 30% from 100% - 21 % of that is cell standby (mobile radio active for 16m it says), and only 18% of that is screen on (4.5 hours~). I tried turning off "keep mobile data active even on wifi" but that did nothing. Is there a known fix? I thought maybe turning off VoLTE would do it, but it just switches itself back on.
Strange. Last night for me the battery drop over 7 hours was zero. So I can't complain on standby battery drain.
Give some context to this maybe? Like how long was your phone on for? For instance, my battery is at 55% at 12hrs on battery with cell standby at the highest with 7% and my Screen using 2% with 2hrs SoT. Cause if your standby drain is over a full day, maybe you just have bad signal where you are?

Volte drains very little amount of battery. Do you have other things enabled like WiFi, NFC, Bluetooth, GPS, auto sync etc. which could keep the phone awake ? Download Devcheck from play store and check if your device is going to deep sleep.

Gps is on as well as wifi.
However as i have posted the battery usage per service. Only cell standby seems to be hogging most of the battery...
I am only left with resetting my device as a last alternative.
Checked via devcheck, it's a no go for deep sleep.

Android battery usage data can be unreliable. To check if cell standby is what actually draining battery try this-
Before you go to Bed, open Devcheck app on your phone and take a screenshot of deep sleep time after that leave your phone alone. Next morning open the app again and check the Deep sleep time. If all those hours are added to deep sleep, then cell standby is the actual cause of the battery drain. If the deep sleep time is similar to the night or only slightly different, then something else is keeping the phone awake and draining the battery.
