[Honor 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] vsriram92:
Battery is the crucial inbuilt equipment segment of advanced mobile phones. We would truly appreciate the shrewdness of smartphones when we have a strong and reliable battery.

With EMUI 4.0 Honor introduces an app call “Battery manager”. Battery Manager is a battery-saving software, which enhances the smartphone battery life upto 30 percent. It offers so many options related to battery consumption like power plan, consumption level, power usage details etc.

It is very simple and allows us to prevent specific apps that eat more battery. Apps such as Facebook and FB Messenger have been repeatedly accused of draining battery. When an app appears to be eating battery in the background, we'll get a notification with the option to close the app. Nine times out of ten, we've closed these apps when reminded, whereas other devices we'd have just left them to roll-on.

How Battery manager manages battery?

Battery manager is available inside Phone manager app.

When you select Battery Manager it gives you so many options related to manage battery consumption. Like power plan, protected apps, power usages, firewall, consumption level, power usages details and remaining battery percentages. All these options gives you different level of control over battery usages.

Features of Battery manager:

1. Power Plan: It allows you to change your mobile battery consumption level by choosing different power plans. By default, the Honor Phone uses the “Smart” power plan. This plan automatically adjusts the CPU speed for balanced performance. For most people in normal daily situations, the “Smart” plan is the best choice. However, if you play a lot of games and watch a lot of videos, you might want to use the “Performance” plan. Or if your phone having low battery you can choose “Ultra” plan. It allows your phone to sip battery to the very last drop.

2. Protected apps: It allows the you to configure which apps can run in the background when the device is locked, we believe this feature enables the user to run only few of the most important applications while the devices is locked. This means saving a lot of unwanted data costs . For example, most users may not want Facebook to run all the time expect for the time when the device is being used and may want to run only WhatsApp to get the message notifications all the time. This also optimizes your battery performance and data consumption while keeping only the important Apps running.

3. Consumption Level: Consumption level is a feature which helps us to know how much battery is consumed by our smartphone. It scans both hardware and software battery consumption.

As it has both options of h/w and s/w. Software option let us to know what percent of battery is consumed by software (System plus 3rd party apps). When we click on software option it shows how much battery is consumed by which app. It tells about both system plus downloaded apps.

Background option is telling about how much power intensive app is running in background.

It shows all currently power intensive app running since from last charged and the type of app like frequently used app or keep awakening kind of app.

From Consumption Level Feature we can observe which apps are consuming which amount of battery.

4. Power usage firewall: Power usage firewall is same as background option of power consumption level. It also tells the currently power intensive app running in background, since from last charged. It also tells about the type of app like frequently used app or keep awakening kind of app. It gives option to select and close the unused app.

5. Power usage details: Power usage details tell about battery usages History.
