Hi Guys,

I'm pretty optimistic too about the improvements to battery life brought by Oreo.

I'm on the B350 Beta right now waiting for the final B360 Oreo version. I routinely get 4-5 hours of SOT and 24 hours of stand by time per charge. The B350 update seems to have really improved battery life compared to the original Oreo beta build. I use my phone with 4G, Wifi and Location services on all the time. I set the screen of my P10 Plus to Smart and set the phone to close all unneeded apps when turning off the screen (i keep WhatsApp, Messenger and a couple of others running all time). Another thing I did was to turn wifi off when the screen is off except while the phone is charging. I noticed it helps improving night time battery drain.

I did a test during a couple of evenings and unplugged the phone after it was fully charged at around midnight and the next morning at 8 am it was at 99% battery! Some other night is drains to maybe 4% in 8 hours.

All in all, Oreo is shaping to be great for battery life.
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] mocassino:
Hope you are right
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] suarez92:
Yes, I do. I use Viber, Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, WhatsApp, Pinterest. A lot of camera usage as well. Now i switched to iph 7, i miss my Huawei with powerful battery :crying:
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] jsheng007:
What version you using?
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] jsheng007:
What version you're using,is it same with mine?
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] jsheng007:
I still have warranty for my phone so I haven't decided to root my device. Before rooting how's your battery life ?
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] taphius:
I finding the same, got official oreo and battery life has improved immensely, I can actually use the phone without worry now.

Huge improvement. Also getting volte on tmobile now in the US.
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] taphius:
Seriously happy with the oreo update. I used to barely make it to 4 hours SOT a day. Now I'm near 3 hours at 50% since the update (took ~150 photos so far this battery as well)
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] DV87XDA:
Ok guys, so now i think/hope i got a quite detailed information about the battery liefe and sot from the p10 plus.

Modell:

- Huawei P10 Plus VKY-L09

what i did:

- installed stock firmware L09C432B130

- TWRP with full root (old way, installed zip and flashed orig. boot.img so no error 1 occurs)

Im using my phone for ca. 3 weeks now.

In my opinion i configured it quite good for max battery life and performance.

I deinstalled with rom toolbox all the system apps i think i dont need.

- alle the googly play music and video stuff

- huawei ihealth

- talkback

- chrome

-parnerbookmarks

and many many more of the stuff u dont need.

then i froze some other apps because i wasnt 100% sure what happens if i deinstalled them.

like:

- huawei logupload

- partner browser secure

- dual sim managment

- geofence service

- hivoice

- huawei share

- imonitor

- simtoolkit

- smartcardservice

and some more.

i have a black wallpaper installed, set screen of time to 1 minute and i have 31 apps in the lockscreen cleanup

then i disabled all the apps in the romtoolbox auto start manager.

everything i dont need i disabled for boot completed and pre-boot.

sure not all apps, apps like calender storage, clock, contacs storage, media storage, settings i left enabled in pre-boot.

adaway, afwall, busybox, clock, chronus and some more (basically the important stuff) i left enabled when boot completed.

and after that i checked the running processes to see which apps starts by itself somehow during the use.

i took these apps and disabled all the other recievers as well.

so as you can see i tried quite a lot and i assume i have quite a good setup (maybe not the best, but above average ithink) for a great battery life.

with this setup i get from 5.5 hours to 6 hours sot.

what i have to say and what might shorten my sot is:

i have a german phone and im a t-mobile germany client.

but i live in italy at the gardalake. and in italy im logged in to i-wind.

dont know if that makes a difference in battery life.

what i think makes a little bit of a differece is that, cell signal reception is quite bad around here and my phone switches quite a lot between edge and 3g. plus the signal always changes between low and high reception.

i disabled LTE but i guess it still uses a little bit of extra battery.

so maybe 5h 45min to 6h 30 min might be possible as sot, but im not sure about that.

Hope u guys can use this information for a better setup.

If you have a detailed question, just ask.

best regards

Dennis
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:
The battery is more than good ,5hours sos with 4:30 hours playing clash Royale on 4g.
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] M.KK:
I am also here but busy.

I com again soon. :cool:

And some tips to help you get the best battery life.
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] DV87XDA:
Yes alright dude.

We are all here and wait for your tips to get that much screen on time.

I only start believing your talk when you are able to prove it.

Waiting for your tips ...

Cheers
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] DV87XDA:
Just a quick update.

Reached 6 h 45 minutes SoT yesterday. 4% left. And i left it laying there overnight for maybe a 6 hours sleep.

Normal Use, INternet, whatsapp, calls, music, hill climb racing, tinder and some news and stocks apps during the day.

10 hours with wifi, maybe 6 hours without wifi only over 3g.

I froze some more apps via romtoolbox

Apps which were on the top batterz draining apps in settings.

i froze Power Genius. I dont know that this app does, if anyone has tips, please let us know.

I assume its the build in battery manager.

And i Froze HwChrService.

And i had disply brightness on manual and responsibly it when i switched rooms or went outside.

So maybe, really just a BIG MAYBE it could be possible to get around 7 hours..

but still cant believe 7.5 hehe ;)
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] dieselhazza:
If it wasn't for the crap battery life on the Huawei P10 plus I would have bought this phone without a doubt. Only thing holding me back is the battery life.
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] hackdrag0n:
It is really disappointing for such a large battery. Huawei need to work on optimization I think.
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] dieselhazza:
Its just not good enough. Should be much better
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] deebo007:
Really? My P10 Plus battery is the best I've ever had in a smartphone. It easily outlasts the Sony XZ and Moto X Force I had before., both of which would need a top up at some stage during the day. My P10 Plus normally has 40%+ at the end of each day. My day consists of around 1hr bluetooth audio streaming, 1hr video watching, 2+hrs of web, ebay and forum browsing plus quite a lot of WhatsApp messaging. Please give the phone a try, I can't fault mine.
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] dieselhazza:
Well if thats the case show us your screen on time. That is the true indicator of battery life. So include a screen shot of usage pattern.
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] hackdrag0n:
Lol. Just how do you think I reached the conclusion that the battery life as mediocre? I've already tried it. Not impressed. Expected better after what Huawei managed with the Mate 9.
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] deebo007:
No problem, I'll post a screen shot when I've had a typical day's usage, yesterday was spent at home so didn't use the phone a great deal, the phone only had 3hr SOT and around 45% battery remaining by 11pm.
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] hackdrag0n:
You're comparing it to second tier phones. I'm happy for you that it's better than anything else you've had. I've seen better though.
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] deebo007:
Both of my previous phones were flagships at their time of release with SD810 and SD820 processors, so I believe they are a valid comparison.

This place is not exactly a welcoming and friendly forum, I think I'll give it a miss in the future. :rolleyes:
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] hackdrag0n:
Mmmkay. 7 hours 15 minutes sot on my s8 plus yesterday. I don't think I've ever seen the p10 plus break 5. Sometimes I've seen it drop 5% in an hour just from being in my pocket. Yet you're so adamant that I'm wrong to criticise the battery life and now want to cry about how unfriendly people are just because I still disgree with you. Ok then.
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] deebo007:
Wow, case in point! I'm more than happy to take part in a discussion, there's no need to be so aggressive. I guess this place isn't for me! :haha:

I'm glad you are happy with your S8+, I'm sure it's a great phone. I'm not a fan of Samsung hence the reason why I try different manufacturers. A SOT of 7+hrs is very impressive, and I'm sure the P10 Plus would struggle to match it.
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] DV87XDA:
Be kind to each other guys ;)

Please do that deebo.

Post some screens.

I'm not 100% satisfied with the battery life but I'm also not that negative like u hackdragon.

Still want to get more outta it.

Had some great SoT but all together it is around 5.5 hours plus / minus I guess.

Hackdragon , maybe ur low SoT has something to do with single sim/dual SIM management.

What kinda modell do u have exactly ?
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] ytg:
Just received mine yesterday - Dual Sim Europe Version with 6GB RAM and 128 GB storage. It came on b123 firmware.

If I remember correctly Mate 9 battery life was not that great for its capacity at the beginning but got significantly better with the updates (the camera also).

So I assume that it is usual for Huawei flagships to improve battery and camera with updates.

I was reading the changelogs for b130's and chinese b140-141mentioning of improved battery life. So will see what is going to happen...

Anyone on b130-131 firmware to report his/her findings?

Anyone on KangVIP b141 to report?
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] hackdrag0n:
Lol. I already said I'm getting around 5 hours sot so you've confirmed that it's not my phone that's at issue but the phone in general.
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] DV87XDA:
Im getting between 5 and a half and 6 and a half hours depending on how I use it.

What I wanted to say is that it's maybe connected to the single sim and dual SIM issue.

Know what I mean? As soon as I have some time I will install fresh firmware without deleting some system apps. I think I might have deleted something which ****s up the battery life.

And after that I want to install a newer firmware if possible..
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] hackdrag0n:
Lol wut
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] cavags5:
Its impossible to delete system apps, unless you are rooted, so you only could disabled some, and i doubt it, there is many apps Google and other from Huawei that you can uninstall with no problem and don't affect the battery.
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] DV87XDA:
I know man.

I am fully rooted.

But I also uninstalled some system processes. So I'm not sure if they interfere with the battery life.

Need to find out first.

Hackdragon what the u don't understand ?!?;)
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] dieselhazza:
For the size if battery the P10 plus has 6 hours SOT should be the bare minimum. The mate 9 and mate 9 pro are just insane with battery life. I don't know what went wrong with the P10 PLUS
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] hackdrag0n:
Your gibberish that's what.
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] DV87XDA:
Yeah u might be right. Maybe I wasn't clear with was I meant.

Or maybe u just need some more knowledge about this matter , then u would get what I wanted to say ;)

I let u guys know when I figured out how to get the best battery life.
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] dieselhazza:
Keep us posted
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] M.KK:
hay I'm sad this problem is software not hardware and Huawei is controlled by the update.

but some tips is here the Facebook not good for ud using Facebook light it's nice apk

and second is what's up and Facebook use only one account not twin.

not use app twin.

and i think ? Huawei fix them all. :cool:

I'm using L29C185B124
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] hackdrag0n:
It's obvious that your English skills aren't particularly good. Maybe try Google translate.
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:
Not bad but i think a software update will bring improvement to battery life.
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] dieselhazza:
If I know I'm going to get 6 hours screen on time on average with the P10 PLUS i wouldn't hesitate to buy one. Battery life is holding me back
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] hackdrag0n:
Just get a Mate 9. Kills the p10 plus in the battery department.
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] DV87XDA:
I think the p10 plus is way more stylish. And I like the fingerprint sensor on the front. Not in the back.

That's some of the reasons I got a p10+ not a mate 9.

I compared my p10+ rooted and with a lot of bloatware and system apps deinstalled, to my dad's mate9 yesterday. His mate 9 is stock with a lot of stock apps running in the background.

We both used some WhatsApp and internet browsing. We both took some pics and had music over Bluetooth.

The mate 9 ****in killed my p10+!

My Android os of the p10+ uses a **** lot of battery. I guess huwaei should roll out some updates asap to fix this problem.

The mate 9 only used something like 4% for the Android os.
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] M.KK:
how to campers battery life?

I'm always saying Huawei fix it.

only app twin Facebook and what's up.

[youtube]AlN8b9LpnEY[/youtube]
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] ytgbg:
Almost every change log from b130 to b157 says better battery consumption and very often camera improvements, so I guess we have to be patient​ or pay for Funky Huawei services...

I am on b130 and the battery life is better than on my S7 exynos, but I expect more from it, in the future we will get it with the updates.
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] dieselhazza:
S7 exynos maybe but highly doubt it to be better than the S7 Edge. I currently use a S7 edge and if it is better than that woow. I will buy it then.
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] hackdrag0n:
What's the standby drain like post update?

Mine is officially still on b110 and loses 2% per hour just sitting on Wi-Fi with no apps installed beyond what comes out of the box. I believe this is why my sot sucks - too much of the battery is being eaten when I'm not even using the phone.
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] DV87XDA:
Update ur phone to at least b133 or b133.

I'm trying the b133 or maybe the b150 tonight.

My vkyl09 isn't losing anything as long as I don't do anything with the phone.
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:
Huawei are being slow wih the updates lately.
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] hackdrag0n:
I'm not paying to update it.
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] DV87XDA:
Then go for the b130 (I got that right now and it's ok) or for the b133 .. both are available on the internet. B133 is even.a bit better with battery life.
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] hackdrag0n:
Can you still get ota updates of your bootloader is unlocked?
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] DV87XDA:
No unfortunately not. At least it doesn't work out for me.

Don't know if it's because of the bootloader or the root.

But I read about a quite easy way of updating the firmware manually. Didn't try though yet.

B133 is the latest available right now.
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] DV87XDA:
Update:

I have bootloader unlocked and running b133 firmware right now.

Now I get ota updates. Could install an update from T-Mobile if I would want to.

It probably has something to do with the way of rooting. This time I used SuperSU 2.81 or 2.82 (don't know right now )

Before I used the old variant to root and ota updates didn't work.

But after updating from b130 to b133 my bootloader was locked again.

Unlocking bootloader always does a factory reset. So Data must be saved !

This is quite ****ty. If anyone knows another way to update without bootloader being locked again let me know please. thanks !

Regards

Dennis
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] taphius:
My standby is amazing, in use not so much though. Im near zero drain on l29c432b130. Barely getting 4 hour SOT while using it, but I just got it friday and have been taking a crap ton of photos.
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] dieselhazza:
Thats the problem with the P10 plus. Poor screen on time.
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] DV87XDA:
That's not 100% true dieselhazza.

It might be more of a problem for the L29 not for the L09. I guess the dual SIM management thing makes u having less screen on time.

My vkyl09 is not that bad.

I guess for u L29 guys the new b150 firmware should be quite ok.

I just updated it to b133. I'll post some screens as soon as I used it once with a full charge.
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] hackdrag0n:
I have an L09 and it's disappointing. Huawei have managed better. I take it you don't have a Mate 9, otherwise you'd understand better why I keep saying this.
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] DV87XDA:
I totally understand that hackdrag0n. My dad has a mate 9 and it's awesome.

But the mate is how old now ? 8 months ?!

Don't know how it was at the beginning with the mate but give the p10plus a bit time and im sure they fix the battery thing with software updates.
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] hackdrag0n:
On paper it should have the same internal specs. Seems weird that they still haven't figured out how to optimise the Kirin 960 after 8 months.
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] taphius:
Yeah, the slightly smaller battery should not have this much of a difference in battery life. Something else has to be at fault....they've regressed a ton compared to the 950 in actual usage it seems.
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:
The p10 plus have 2k ips display that's why it drain faster than mate 9,end of the story no need to compare 2 different phones.
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] hackdrag0n:
Switching from fhd to qhd on my s8 plus makes at most a 10% difference to screen on time. The LG G6 has a bigger screen size and resolution than the p10 plus and has better battery life in spite of having a smaller battery. I don't find your argument convincing.

Maybe Huawei used a poor quality, inefficient panel in the p10 plus and then just chucked a big battery in there to make it sound like a power house. Wouldn't put it past them as this type of carry on is par for the course in China.
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:
Not sure if ur comparing s8+ to p10+ cause p10 plus has better battery life than s8+ ,i have 2 friends with s8+ and they are jealous how p10+ battery last.
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] hackdrag0n:
Don't make me laugh. I have both phones. My s8 plus kills the p10 plus in battery life.
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:
I think u r going to make me laugh.

Tell me is it a good battery 1 hour sot with 78 % left?
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] hackdrag0n:
Hahaha. Mine was on 82%, 1 hour sot, and 10 hours on mobile data earlier. Dont know what's wrong with your phone but that ain't normal.

Anyway can't be bothered with you anymore. Enjoy your p10 plus I'm selling mine.
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:
Good luck lol
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] hackdrag0n:
My p10 plus would be down below 70% by now and it was only at 95% when I unplugged it.
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] dieselhazza:
Thats not good enough considering the battery size. The mate 9 kills this and so does S7 edge and S8. Huawei have just failed with the P10 PLUS. No amount of software would fix this. Don't good your breath. Just wait for the mate 10 tbh
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] taphius:
My g6 gets more sot and overall usage than my p10 plus. This is pretty abysmal quality from huawei (although my mate 9 was bad as well, mate 8 and honor 8 are stellar)
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] hackdrag0n:
Case in point. G6 has a bigger screen, smaller battery, and the Snapdragon 821 is from the same generation as the Kirin 960.

The battery life on the p10 plus isn't bad - it's enough to get most people through the day - but it's much worse than you'd expect given that it's a 3750mah cell.
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] taphius:
Absolutely. for how efficient the 960 was touted to be, there is zero reason for this phone to drain this much during actual usage. I am expecting my U11 to destroy it with a smaller battery and same size/resolution screen and a better gpu.
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Epistemic:
EMUI running nougat isn't brilliant with battery. This has been the case since nougat has came out. It's also important to be aware that there's a difference in battery drain depending on whether it's connected to WiFi or data.

I get 5-6 hours SOT, never really had major issues concerning SOT. Battery drain is more of a pain for me. All flagships struggle with SOT if you're a heavy user, if someone wants a battery happy phone but a lenovo P2.

All In all the p10 plus battery life is ok, it isn't terrible, and it's isn't excellent, I would say it's decent. Keep in mind that optimization of EMUI is a working progress through firmware changes which will only better the optimization issues.
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Craphead:
I've noticed this, too, but I'd really like to know WHY it's like that...
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Epistemic:
Most phones have different battery drain rates concerning connectivity to WiFi or data. What I do is limit certain apps function in background, Location off ect... usual battery cost jazz.
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] mocassino:
maybe the best post until now, in this thread :good:

just a point: data always drain more than wifi, in every phone.
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Craphead:
Yeah well the thing is I have noticed that while connected to mobile data certain system processes (like Android system, Android OS and the likes) consume a lot more battery than when connected to WiFi. Surely there must a reason for this?! Removing permissions doesn't seem to make much difference, I have snychronisation off, location off, mobile data permissions off whereever possible and I only have one app that is allowed to ignore battery optimisation (not sure if thats what its called in an english OS) and that doesn't get killed automatically when screen is off, which is my messenger. I think the battery life is great on wifi, I get 6-7 hours SOT depending what I'm using it for, but siginificantly less on mobile data and I think this is mainly because the system-related processes are a lot more active then and keep the device awake a lot more. Maybe it would help to simulate a wifi even when on mobile data but thats not possible without root afaik.... :(
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] mocassino:
simply the mobile modem drain more battery than the wifi one.

Reply: that's the same for every device
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Craphead:
That however does not answer the question why processes like Android system are more active on mobile data than on WiFi.
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] mocassino:
You don't see the processes about the modem, so probably every process that use the modem drain more on data than on wifi ;)
