[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alkot:
Hey alex,

You've talked about important thing that i am really want to know about and been looking for

1st. Battery Life

A) I've got the phone on stock EMUI B120 version, and directly start testing the battery life,

(I.) The Maximum Screen On Time = 7h 44m 50s (NO LTE, WIFI ON, BROWSING, WHATSAPP, Clash of Clan) Battery level were 3%

_ So, Running Clash of clan for too long really drain the battery life like super faster

_ Another Screen On Time = 8h 56m 49s, Battery level were 4%, Without intense CoC game.

(II.) Then, I tried to use combination of Ultra Mode & Smart Mode (I'm using Ultra-Mode when i attend university lectures, driving, swimming with friends, things that i basically won't use the phone in smart-mode), while (Using Smart-mode in break time between the lectures, OR when i use it sometimes during the lectures itself, Waiting Someone, etc..)

- I think as results shows that it significant last the phone battery life longer in case if you just don't need to recharge every time every night, as Screen On Time = 5h 45m 46s, Battery discharged since = 2d 13h 19m 18s, Remained level = 23% this percent has extra time of (Ultra-mode 15h OR Smart-mode 7h) as shown in pictures in attachment

2nd. Battery Lifespan

A) Actually i'm keep using the phone until the battery life drain to 3-7% then i switch off the phone before sleeping and plug it in the power adapter, I think some peoples say this way is the best, (Phone is switched off = no background apps running, battery level really does prolong with you more than the ordinary way of charging the phone as I've tried it myself with Samsung Galaxy Note phone as an old experience)

B) The first 50% of battery charging took around 1 hour exactly to be filled faster in the first 50% and total of 2-3 hr for 100% Complete charge.

C) The only drawback is under heavy battery consuming games, such as Clash of Clan (CoC) doesn't last more than 5-6 hr or might be maximum of 7 hours but no more, even without clash of clan and under normal screen on time you wouldn't get more than 9hours doing basically ordinary things such as (WIFI, browsing, whatsapp, open game & close it quickly, calling, watching videos, playing musics etc...).

3rd. AnTuTu Benchmark v5.6.3

_ Take a look into the picture in attachment that is all i know about Benchmark (i'm not experienced on those apps like other people)

4th. Huawei Official Website to download the Rom

_ Actually my region is (UAE) so i can't basically get the ROM I've done what you've said and when click on Phone model > Support > Download ==> I got a white page in the middle of the website showing nothing neither in "Download page" Nor "Manual Page" ,, All i need is to get the orginal ROM that came with my phone which is "B120 version" just in case i didn't like the upgrade of "B123 version" that i got in OTA at the moment! I Would be appreciated if you knew any idea about this or a way to take backup of ROM from my phone directly!

5th. Regarding the Two-XDA Links

First Link ==> It seems to be firmware "B125" does have a problems in showing Maximum battery life in Ultra-mode and Smart-mode while phone charged to 100%, so i will keep away from it as I only have "B123 version available to download but i don't know if it shows the same as B125"!!

second Link ==> Yes, the guy is lucky to get his "Switherland ROM version for LT-10 Model" but i don't see mine when i changed the "Region" as well as I've also commented in the post before but still he didn't replied to me .. :)

Overall, I'm really appreciate your work by sharing your experience with EMUI Updates and Battery life and Span Guideline .. :good:

Best regards,
