It's normal, because android OS is a bunch of activities
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] matthias_n:
On the other screens software doesn't use more than 75%... That's why I asked
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] CronaMell:
It varies between 60% to 80% sometimes for me.

And 6h SOT is very good
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] gopinaidu77:
I can achieve 7 hrs.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] CronaMell:
One time, I've got 8h of moderate use

Comparing to other 3000 mAh phone, this phone is in another class
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] salihss:
My wife and I have both honor 8

She uses the phone rarely like half an hour gaming, sometimes surf the web, whatsapp. Phone is mostly sleeping

Her standby is little more than 2 days but SOT can not exceed 3-3.5hrs

I surf the web long times, use whatsapp, almost no gaming, I wake the phone too many times

My standby time is usually 22-24hrs but SOT would be 5.5 - 6.5 hrs

I hope this gives an idea about the device

in my understanding, the more you surf the web and something light workload for the phone you increase your SOT but you decrease your standby

the more you make sleep the phone(don`t wake) you increase the standby but you decrease the SOT
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] CronaMell:
It happens with any phone :)
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] salihss:
Yes of course. I just wanted to say you can either see 3 hrs of SOT or you can see 7 hrs of SOT they are both normal
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] CronaMell:
Yes, depending on standby time :)
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] matthias_n:
I normally use it for two days on a charge... Averaging 6 hrs if dot... When using it first one day, i reach about 8 hrs
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] Karly Johnston:
Because it has a weak GPU.

Really? The average SoT from this thread is 4-5hrs. That is about average. My Z2 Pro averages 7-8 but it is using a less power draining S-AMOLED.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] CronaMell:
I get 6h-8h almost everyday, with brightness set to 50%
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] krispy321:
Thats huge,for me its like 4-5h
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] CronaMell:
My usage is light these days
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] i2000s:
SoT 6hr 40min with 2hr 16min talking time over Wifi. EMUI 5.0 is used with a lot of APPs installed and running as you can see in pictures.

I connected the phone to my computer for a short time to install a theme.

Surprisingly, the Android Pay used a lot of power over wifi.

The screen is set at around 40% brightness with smart control.

See attachment for details.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] Dominikrod:
This is my average battery usage on Nougat and it is quite spot on. Brightness is always set to Auto and pretty much all Google apps running plus many others. GPS and Tethering are the two things that really drain my battery pretty quickly, although that's the norm for all smartphones.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] dedovec:
Was in my office all day, doing my job through the phone, all day on WiFi, Bluetooth off, GPS off, Mobile data off, brightness set to 10% (my office is dark):

Today has been definitely a bad day for my Honor 8 battery performance. I recently did a full reset, going back to Emui 4 and then upgrading to Nougat. I saw no improvements. I am really disappointed.

For me no battery issue

Hii to all Honor 8 owners

I got the phone on Friday and it came with EMUI 4.1

Used it few hours that way but then decided to do

the OTA that was available already.

Altough I have read that most of you guys complain to have

bad SOT I did the update

Let the phone one hole night on charging

And today I drained the battery till the shutdown wich

happened at 2% of battery.

In that moment it was 7 hours and 49 minutes of SOT

But I took some pics at 4%

Look at the pics..

I got the B360 version
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] netvorCZEK:
Almost 9hrs SoT it's amazing, I'm able to get max. 3,5hrs. I'm on B380 stock.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] matthias_n:
Wow when seeing your SOT I really want with have B380 or B381... It's so disappointing that Honor hasn't rolled out any of those to my device yet... I get 6 to 7 hrs max , and only when I'm in WiFi most of the time...
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] emind:
Very Poor SOT of Honor 8

I got my Honor 8 in a "like new" condition 4 days ago and the battery life has been very disappointing. I am getting a SOT of less than 4 hrs. I am a very light user of the phone - I don't watch videos, play games or a heavy social media user. Only 3 apps are protected - Bluemail, Whatsapp and Hangouts & I also have a fitness tracker app. But all these apps are using very little power anyway. I disabled autobrightness & use manual brightness at 25-30%. I disabled other apps that may consume background data. I even tried turning off location access completely.

Last night, I charged it to 100% and after 6.5 hrs, the battery level is down to 93%.

I performed a factory reset today and there is no improvement.

Is there any trick to get such awesome SOTs that many of you are getting? Or do you think I received a lemon?
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] jose1979:
Have a nice day

Or xds day
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] dedovec:
If i am outdoor using 4g and maximum brightness the SoT vary from 3 to 4h max from 100 to 15% battery.

If i am inside using WiFi and auto brightness the SoT vary from 7 to 9h (dark office and home, phone stays at minimum brightness) from 100 to 15% battery.

Mixed usage outdoor/ inside- 5h to 5h 30mins from 100 to 15% battery.

No gaming, no social apps, no location or Bluetooth, only YouTube, browsing, Tapatalk, e- mails, testing of apps, shooting pictures, reading news, Viber...
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] qtoo941:
Usually I install few social apps on my phone - facebook, messenger, instagram and viber. But last week I decided to remove 2 of them just for a test - fb and insta. 3 days without them - 3 days with better SOT and battery life.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] netvorCZEK:
Fb really affect battery life, when I deleted it, my battery last longer. I think it's caused by syncing all the data on the background.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] Sergio27:
5 hours with 31 of standby on B380... I think that is quite good :)
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] gopinaidu77:
Only?
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] netvorCZEK:
#143 - what's the point of this post?

Almost 8hrs of SoT is really good though.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] Leon Lambra:
I used to get the same screen on times, most of the time 8 hours. As soon as my device turned 6 months old, it dropped down to 2 hours.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] gopinaidu77:
Battery loose capacity . Can i know how many times do u charge ur phone per day?
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] Leon Lambra:
Every two days since I bought it. I get 2 days of use, now standby drain is my biggest enemy, I lost like 1% over the night with wifi und lte turned on before my phone got 6 months old. Now I lose like 20-30% overnight.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] gopinaidu77:
Next post can give u a view bro :fingers-crossed:

Yes ,my honor 8 is thirsty if battery . 3hrs sot or a bit more in minutes . Emui is the beautiful UI but a battery eating ghost
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] gopinaidu77:
Well bro , custom roms are different as we have not a stable rom due to issues . Am pretty sure we will save much juice than emui when all issues are fixed . Surdu is already working on it and he will do it for sure
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] gopinaidu77:
Haha , glad that we are deep on the topic .

Please look at this battery optimizations which we dint see in custom roms
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] mwatson:
It's important to realise that Android 7.0 is the cause of the excessive battery drain. Just visit any of the other forums on XDA like the pixel for instance. Every device on 7.0 had the battery drain. Now the pixel has moved beyond 7.0 the drain has gone. The question for we H8 users is when will Huawei move us up from 7.0 and therefore fix this battery.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] gopinaidu77:
Probably the emui 5.1 should fix our issues
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] gopinaidu77:

[Honor 8 Real Life Review] brljak83:
Yes this i very good..

Couse I have read about how you set up and use the phone..

Did you ever have experiance how much the phone discharges if brightness is to 100% with no adaptive on?

Couse when I get outside.. and than the 100% to see the screen in the sunlight is a must

I forget to turn it down to like 50-60% and get always first surprised that my battery is discharging very,

very fast.. oh, then I see my brightness is full 100% and turn it down..

But it is very very fast discharging... did not tested how fast it would be to discharge from 100% till shutdown

of the phone by it self..

Do you maybe tested that one??
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] brljak83:
I also love it much ? I do love it in a way

that I don't want to mess it up evan I have 2 years of warranty

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.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] Erik1974:
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)
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] spix123:
is that with or without airplane mode

---------- Post added at 09:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:13 AM ----------

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.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] Droiderr:
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.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] Erik1974:
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.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] spix123:
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.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] Erik1974:
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.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] spix123:
I really think the cell radio in Honor 8 has a very high power consumption, much more than on other phones
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] Droiderr:
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.

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
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] Nicolfa:
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.

---------- Post added at 07:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:03 AM ----------

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.
