Here is my personal experience so far (I have my P7 last week, and I did not use an Android for more than one year), overall I'm somewhat disappointed by Android in the power management area, things do not seem to improve for 2 years :D

I disabled Google Now and deactivated location history, that seems to improve the battery life. I noted that Google Play Services consumed more than 20% yesterday. With Google now, the battery did not last more than 14h.

Without Google Now, I notice today that Cell Standby consumed about 15% for today. After 15h, there is some 20% left with moderate use. In a normal day, this means that I will have trouble to go through.

I try to do some tweaks to improve the battery life, but really have no clue what to test exactly ( disable 4g seems to have minor effect ).

Hello folks here are the scrren shots to my phone , it's really disappoints me a lot ...
[Huawei Ascend P7] zeyad abed:
Guys these are the pictures ..
[Huawei Ascend P7] tamerakshar:
Poor Signal........first finding from your pics.

Espicially on 3G networks, poor signal will drain your battery as hell
[Huawei Ascend P7] zeyad abed:
So ,what do I have to do.. im really suffering .. can't rely on my phone to go outside..for long time...
[Huawei Ascend P7] zeyad abed:
Buddies , pls help me .. im tired of this phone,though, it's wonderful but im fedup with battery..
[Huawei Ascend P7] DJ BlackEagle:
Your screenshot are ok.

The signal can be problem, for your battery drain.

But I miss the big thing. I can't see how the battery drains over the night. Because all your screnshots don't show the battery drain over night.

Please follow this way:

Charge the phone until is 100%.

Take off the power charger from the phone.

Don't (never) touch the phone in the night and go to sleep.

Then you awake in the morning, make this screenshots.

Other way you can test too ( for the second night).

Update the firmware to the newest firmware.

Reset your phone (to the factory defaults).

Don't configure accounts, don't install apps etc.

Take off the power charger from the phone.

Don't (never) touch the phone in the night and go to sleep.

Then you awake in the morning, make this screenshots.
[Huawei Ascend P7] zeyad abed:
How to make signal reception better ??
[Huawei Ascend P7] DJ BlackEagle:
Switch to the 2G network. And hope its better.
[Huawei Ascend P7] zeyad abed:
Thnx mr. DJ BLACKEAGLE , wi try this out & update ...
[Huawei Ascend P7] Simona Simmy:
Guys what I can suggest when you go bed turn ultra power mode an in the morning switch back to smart .. or normal whatever you want use

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fd-lguUIxhU
[Huawei Ascend P7] zeyad abed:
Though switching to ultra power mode seems to do nothing.

I tried switching network to 2G in the night & it did work perfectly, my battery in the morning was just 99% ,

Many thanks mr. DJ BLACKEAGLE...
[Huawei Ascend P7] DJ BlackEagle:
Good to hear.

You can see what is possible for your battery life. I have enabled the power mode.
[Huawei Ascend P7] GawDroid:
First night I had this phone I experienced a nearly 15% battery drain during my 7h of sleep. Google Play Services came out on top in the apps using most battery.

Since I swicthed Google Location Reporting off I notice hardly any drain during the night (maybe 1%), and I can use my P7 two days easy.

I'm attaching some battery usage screenshots.

To summarize, I think the P7 is capable of a very good battery life if handled right.
[Huawei Ascend P7] majcomtech:
Try to use the firmware version B135.
[Huawei Ascend P7] erdi_s:
So, how can i swicthed Google Location Reporting?
[Huawei Ascend P7] GawDroid:
Settings / Accounts / Google / Privacy :)
[Huawei Ascend P7] erdi_s:
Thanks :)
[Huawei Ascend P7] erdi_s:
Is it normal? I think my battery quickly drains. I'm using stock b133 rom and usually 2g network. When i use internet i swicthed 3g network
[Huawei Ascend P7] Xstephl:
I'm not expert in the battery matter, but it seems to me that your battery drain is quite normal. You have used your phone more than 2h18, and about one 3rd of the battery is used by the screen.
[Huawei Ascend P7] erdi_s:
Thank you body [emoji6]
[Huawei Ascend P7] Ziolek67:
In my opinion this is normal for this device. 2.18h screen using drain 36% batery. For 2500mA battery capacity it is a standard i thing.

TRY.......B126 .......its better than all roms relased
[Huawei Ascend P7] lipaaa:
Ive cleaned my rom (135) from the trash (now about 1.2gb ram free after fresh start) + got realy light launcher (lighting) and got almost no batery use in standby, today at about 10 hours and in that time doing few calls (10 mins) and sms (maybe 15) got 8% of battery so....

look what U got in runing process and if U dont neaded remove it (ex. gmali or some huawei no needed stuff) there is couple more tricks to do with battery drain
[Huawei Ascend P7] kolembo:
The P6 and P7 have small batteries and poor battery life. It's the one thing Huawei tried to address with the Honour6 and Mate 7.

I found a great solution here - esp for battery drain on screen off.

http://xdaforums.com/ascend-p7/general/battery-saving-deep-sleep-battery-saver-t2909639

One month in and it's fabulous.... Now the first app I Install when changing firmware.

Give it a go.

When you see what I'm taking about, go back and hit the thanks button on the topic! - I Like to monitor what's going on.

P.S. B126 is very good with battery (relatively) and so is B135 Israel. B138 Italy is a very smooth firmware but the battery dips a little.
[Huawei Ascend P7] BeToven:
For me its drains over night 20% with wireless off, i don't think this is normal.

Any solution? I'm still on B158(no updates for me yet)
[Huawei Ascend P7] ibeqa:
Just do a battery calibration (usually it takes two times ...at least on my device) and you'll be OK ;)
[Huawei Ascend P7] BeToven:
Any particular APP for the calibration?
[Huawei Ascend P7] ibeqa:
:) No

Let your device discharge completely, then plug it on AC (not computer) to fully charge (do not put on your device until it's fully charged).

If the next day you still have the same issue, repeat the above mentioned procedure and you'll be fine. ;)

Cheers
[Huawei Ascend P7] jirrah:
Getting the same problem tried everything suggested but still the same. Carrying charger everywhere with me.
[Huawei Ascend P7] ibeqa:
Then my friend you have a battery problem :(
[Huawei Ascend P7] kolembo:
Yeah, that is very odd. This phone is brutal with turning of apps at screen off - I've never had it drain more than 5 points overnight.

Check your protected apps apk and your Start-Up manager. You have either a rogue app keeping your phone up, or you need to change the battery.

Also, download an app called CARAT. It will need to collect details for about a week but then will give you a full report. I have it on all my phone's. It's excellent and does not require root.
[Huawei Ascend P7] vlado153:
I attached my tips for better battery life in my P7 B852:

1. Switch screen resolution to HD

2. Switch off the 4G, I use only automatically 2G or 3G

3. Switch off such as Wifi, BT, NFC, Auto synchronisation if you are not using it

4. Switch off Google location services

5. Make unnecessary to disable, like google movies, google books etc..

6. I don´t use safe mode, I use normal- full power battery mode.

I use my phone with tips above, and when I go to sleep with e.g. 49% of battery I wake up with the same 49% , so any battery drain.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] heartless41:
My Nexus 7 (2013) was working great, I updated the Cyanogenmod to a newer nightly and now the device wont boot...usually.

Sometimes it will make it all the way to the OS and then 5 seconds later shut off instantly. And then sometimes it wont make it past the boot screen. Sometimes it doesnt even make it there, If I boot into recovery it shuts off instantly too, fastboot mode gets about 7 seconds before that shuts off too...

It's been charging and says it has a 40% battery..

It's really odd. Help?

Got custom rom and kernel, bootloader is unlocked, and i am rooted. If i flash ftf will everything be fine? I mean will i be stock again (which means my guaranty is back again)? I found those ftf's http://xdaforums.com/xperia-l/general/sony-xperia-l-flashable-ftfs-locked-t2560642 . Guys i dont really know what should i choose. I got C2105 xperia l. Thanks in advance :)
[Sony Xperia L] StillBrilliant:
Yes, you will be on stock again. If your phone ends up in a bootloop, then you also need to do a factory reset. Pick the ftf for your own country, if available.

If you want to make use of your guaranty, you'd better relock your bootloader.
[Sony Xperia L] abhi007.john:
I would like to add that just relocking the bootloader won't get your warranty back. For that you must restore your TA partition.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Belamigo:
One of my Android phones (the third in my signature), with limited /data partition storage size, shows a large subdirectory, 'oprofile' in /data/bin/oprofile. Running out of space in this partition seems to be a common problem, so I'd like to keep it as lean as possible.

Some research shows oprofile to be a tool for 'tuning' an Android setup -- but exactly when it's useful is not clear, from what I've been able to find.

My question is, is oprofile purely useful while Android is being configured for a specific phone's hardware? In this case, perhaps someone just forgot to delete it, after it served its purpose -- and then, there's no harm in removing this subdirectory and regaining the space it consumes.

Or, does oprofile serve an continuing purpose, being used by the OS to continue the 'tuning' -- as the user adds new apps? In this case, that directory is functional and should be left alone. Or, is there data in these files, created during the initial 'tuning' that must be retained, for the benefits to continue?

? So, what to do? Take it out, or leave it in??

Please suggest a different section, or a different forum, where there may be interest in replying to this type of question.

There was discussion of oprofile in a Developers' Forum for a specific phone, but I hesitate to repost this question into that thread -- unless you say only these folks have an opinion on this utility. This is a general question, not specific for any one brand of phone -- apparently oprofile may be used with a variety of devices, as well as other distros of Linux.

Now that you can connect to Odin (if only for a bit), have you tried flashing just a kernel by itself (not a whole ROM)? Specifically the EL26CWM tar. If you can get that to flash, you'd at least have a working recovery with which to flash another ROM.

Good luck
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] IamFlynn:
I have a working recovery, CWM6 but everytime I try to access it, I am able to reboot into recovery but it reboots my phone after a few seconds and I see no options I can select from.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Surj138:
OK, well now it sounds like your power button is on its way out. Mine was doing that (my phone's had all kinds of issues, but it's good now... minus a working USB port lol) maybe 8 months back, with symptoms just like yours.

Question: Do you ever see the Power Menu screen randomly pop up?

I would see that (sometimes) then it would reboot by itself. It would also reboot by itself while in recovery, and would not stay OFF if I had a battery reinserted.

I looked online for a solution, which led to dismantling the phone and cleaning inside the power button as well as i could, with alcohol. No dice [emoji20]

This went on for a few days and i was already looking for another phone. I was on JB Touchwiz with Agat's kernel at the time, so I rebooted into recovery and flashed OldMan CM9, hoping it wouldn't reboot mid-flash... Flashed fine without rebooting.

But when I booted into CM9, the issue had completely disappeared, no BS!! I have no explanation for this, as I was positive it was a hardware issue, but it worked. I have never had a Power Button issue since, regardless of ROM (I'm a registered flashaholic). Hope this helps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] IamFlynn:
I don't think its the power button, because the phone does not reboot automatically if i'm in download mode. I'll check it out tho. Thanks bud!

[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] blairh:
Bump. I have the same question.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] sirobelec:
GSM Arena says this about the device:

2G Network	GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900

3G Network	HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100

4G Network	LTE 800 / 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 / 2100 / 2600

If what wikipedia says, AT&T uses the following frequencies:

2G: 850 / 1900.

3G: 850 / 1900.

4G: 700 block B (main frequency) / 1700 AWS / 1900 / 2300.

So, if I read correctly, you can use the international Alpha for 2&3G, but for LTE, you are covered only by one LTE band, 1900, and this being not a main frequency, won't have good coverage everywhere, I think.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] blairh:
Does this pertain to HSPA+ too?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] sirobelec:
HSPA+ is 3G, so you shouldn't have problems with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] blairh:
So I'd get HSPA+ anywhere I'd get it from an AT&T phone, just not LTE necessarily?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] sirobelec:
Yes. If it was me to make the decision, I'd want my phone with an unlocked bootloader, HSPA+ is good enough speed for me.

Though, practically, I've never tested LTE in my life, until recently we didn't have any 4G networks. :D

International Galaxy Alpha NO US LTE on ATT or TMO

I bought an unlocked international/Euro Galaxy Alpha SM-G850F at the London Samsung store... Installed my USA ATT SIM and have no prob w. calls or H or H+ data but can NOT get LTE band in the USA on either ATT or TMO even though the device seems to have the right bands for ATT or TMO LTE. On advice from an ATT Wireless store manager, I updated my APN settings to match ATT setup but still did not get LTE. FYI my H+ is quite fast for most purposes but I want LTE. Hope that answers your question.... Mine is how can I get LTE???

[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] robertkoa:
I am trying to solve this also.

I think that the Euro Version with the Exynos does not have the proper LTE Bands for North America LTE.

But the Qualcomm version does, though not sure about

TMobile.

I am looking at this from Canada GSM for $ 549. Factory Unlocked with following Bands:

2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900

3G Network HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100

4G & LTE 2100, 1900, 1800, 1700, 2600, 700, 850

Obviously for AT&T you just buy theirs.

I have read that the EXYNOS versions do not function in North America on LTE.

With all phones it seems that you must be very very

Specific about Model Numbers including Suffixes etc.

Especially SAMSUNG loves to make 24 versions of ALPHA, 50 versions of S4 etc.

Frequency Bands are a real WTF for amateurs like me:

For example are there TWO DIFFERENT 1700 bands, one for4G LTE and one for 3G , HSPA + or are they the SAME BAND with dual usage ?

In example ABOVE the Alpha Factory Unlocked Canada GSM @$ 549.

IF used for TMobile the LTE Bands look fine, but the 3G

1700 Band is not there. Will 3G merely use the 1700 LTE

band or does the SOC ( QUALCOMM) need to have

allocated the 1700 band for dual usage LTE and.3G

?
