Screen on time - Huawei Mediapad M3 Real Life Review

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 Huawei Mediapad M3 before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Screen on time is not something that I watch. I am more interested in low battery consumption when it is not used (and this is very good on Nougat).

Yep.Is that bad ? I'm very pleased with this SOT. At a 6660 mph battery this SOT seems about right. Please note that I get this SOT with the screen brightness set under 20% cause I can't stand using it more brighter.My eyes hurt.

On my Note 7 I was getting close to 7 hours. And that was with everything turned on and brightness turned up. I was really afraid about the no date but I decided to take the chance even though the battery is smaller and the screen is bigger I guess they are more efficient now I have to wait till October 1st but I'm getting excited thanks for the heads up

This is a tablet... you can not compare it to a note phone. Well you can but you shouldn't. They are totally different.

Battery life

So far I've experienced excellent battery. I charged it fully when I got it home, and then unplugged it. Here are my results on an uncalibrated battery with moderate use except for when it sat overnight.

Not to shabby. This was with background data on, auto sync off, with the only the maps app being stopped.

Good one.
My Photon can get me 4 hrs under the same conditions. Let's hope the battery will get better after a few recharge.

From A thread over at androidCentrel posting Epic Touch usage.
Tkemack
Screen On & awake look to be on roughly 70 - 75% use within 14 hr
Photon doesn't come close to such battery performance .
I'm looking forward to some Touch custom roms Battery life will get even better.

			
				
Im in debate battery life seems decent for me but no where near what other people are posting. I got 9hrs so far and im at 20 percent with screen on for 4 hours. Dodnt play any games just some web, text and xda. Does this seem right?
The first four hours the powersaver settings were still on. So wifi on, no 3g,4g,no auto sync,brightness at 10 percent.
Last five hours Auto sync is on. Brightness is 25 percent. 3 mail accounts with mail only and I've only had 1 email pushed the whole time. 4g off. Wifi only the whole time no 3g. Screen timeout 30 seconds.

Battery life

This phone is only lasting me about 8 hours before my battery will die. What can I do to help out my battery?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
download an app call battery calibration, then after a full night of charging, go to that app and calibrate with the charger plug still in, after its done reboot phone and take it off the charger. drain the battery until it shuts off by itself. charge it back up while its off. then continue to use as normal. wait a couple days to see if the battery gets any better. my phone doesnt last too long either, im thinking of replacing the battery to see if thats the problem
Try removing some apps, that worked for me there was some apps that were sucking up my battery.

slap on a extended battery!
Kiss it three times, say two Hail Mary's and toss it over your left shoulder.
No seriously, battery life is very dependent on many things, and your statement doesn't come close to providing enough information for anyone to give you any real help. At minimum you need to provide the following during your 8 hours ...
- Total Display on time
- Brightness setting
- What you have auto syncing and how often
- Average signal strength
- Usage pattern (web browsing, calls, streaming video, etc.)
- Widgets on your home screens
- Screenshots of your battery usage and graph
My phone will also last around 8 hours if im constantly using it.
Thanks everyone for the responses. I will try out all the advice.

With moderate use, I get about 20 hours. With heavy use I get about 10-12. It's still enough to get me through the day
Love this phone!

Buying new P2

Hi, I'm choosing new phone and I'm deciding between Lenovo P2 and Xiaomi RN4. I like better battery in Lenovo, can you please post PCMark battery life score? I'd like to know if battery is really good and durable and if it is not very wakening after average using.
On the other hand, it looks that development on Lenovo is worse, do you think there will be some active roms after 2 - 3 years?
If I try stock firmware, is there an option e. g. to use volume button for music switching? It looks that xposed for Nougat still isn't in the game.
And last question is where to buy phone. On tinydeal it is much cheaper than in shops in my country, isn't there any problem with buying phone from China?
Thank you.

Try search the battery testing in gsmarena.com. Lenovo is the best but Xiaomi RN4 not far behind. I'm using lenovo P2. Personally, I think the battery performance is the best. Can be used up to 2 days for light usage.
PCMark is not as impressive as RN4...

This phone lasts a lot longer than 2 says on light useage
12-14 hours SOT over 3 days takes me down to about 20% from a full charge.

I think its just a bug, mine seems to stay on 100% for a long time too. It does drop eventually. The battery life is very good on this phone though. I've never had it run out during a day yet. It does seem to better reflect battery use at it gets lower.

Yes you are right after 90 minutes it's dropped to 99 and 98, I thought I have to restart to get correct reading but didn't
Sent from my SM-A705FN using Tapatalk
I have same issue. Stays at 100% after 30mins or more of usage. As soon at it drops to 98% battery drain becomes normal.
I did the calibration reset code *#0228# and it didn't change a thing.
Battery life is good on this phone but nothing impressive.
Probably needs a few charge cycles for the battery to calibrate properly, happened to me too.
Still going strong, no power saving , 4g all the time , Bluetooth all the time, alot of games, Facebook and YouTube

My battery life
this phone is excellent on battery life.
when i first used it and charged it to 100%, I noticed the same thing, and was confused, checked to see if the phone froze, etc. But then I started to feel invincible from the overabundance of power. LOL.

Anyone on dual sims and 3/4G, how much screen on time do you get?

I have been disappointed with Galaxy Note10 battery life. With dual sims and cellular data, I barely get 4 hours screen on time before the battery runs out. I plan to move to 7T but still doubt about battery life. Is it any better?
Dual 4g Dual VOLTE, screen time 5-6 hrs & stand by 28-30hrs

Wow, notify buddy has is a huge culprit... I don't really like it as it messes with the lift to wake up. IMHO pixel pulse is better.

I tried them all, I was a huge fan of Led Blinker Pro but that one is not working anymore since Android 10. Notify Buddy is for me a good replacement.
