Went back to EMUI 8.1 to see if PIE had been advertised to me yet.

Averaging less SOT than i was on AOSIP, I've avoided rooting for now and have no restored apps from titanium, so less apps, no exploits, no root / Magisk / mods and it's actually worse, no additional apps which could have a footprint which may matter and my routine hasn't altered, if anything it's slowed down.

Huawei really hate giving out software worth a damn.

If they allowed a vanilla version of android onto their phones and opened up the bootloader again for "Enthusiasts" with a disclaimer and even a registration process, even a delay like the Xiaomi method, they'd get my vote, but it seems they just don't want that.

I'm hoping that PIE AOSP ROM's start to drop for the p20 pro or similar devices like the honor view 10 so we can flash them and actually enjoy our devices as an "Enthusiast" would expect to.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] olafsand:
Perfect SOT after Pie update :)
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] hanifh:
nice! is this now typical for most users since the update?

Battery not good , drain fast from 20 to zero
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] andrei80:
Get into recovery and delete cache partition. It will behave better after.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] dlads:
From 20% to 0% as in it turns off at 20% or it just depletes quicker when on 20%?

If it's turning off at 20% then that's very similar to the iPhone problem they have with phones turning off, usually means a faulty battery, swelling or similar.

if it's just depleting then more than likely applications / usage which is causing it.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] andrei80:
That happened to me, twice, since I've had the phone. Formatting cache partition solves it.

The battery probably degraded a bit and the battery meter was no longer accurate. Another symptom was that it charged really fast for the first 10-15%, in a minute or so.

I still get good battery life, though. 6+h SOT is usual, without any energy saving.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] stiffis:
Over 7h SOT and still 10% left.. :laugh: Very good batterylife after the latest update (10.0.0.182)
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] andrei80:
That is epic...do you use any tricks or special settings(low brightness, disabling wifi,gps, data etc?

I only get about 5h, sometimes 6 SOT without any care for battery life(all enabled, auto brightness)
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] stiffis:
Nothing special really.. Batterylife just got better (under light use, like watching videos) after the latest update (10.0.0.182, had to update manually). WiFi on all day, data on when needed, GPS on and auto brightness on.. I also use Naptime to force doze when screen is off.. :)

When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the Huawei P20 Pro's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Had my p20 pro yesterday. Turn on Ultra Battery when i go to bed at about 2300 with 69% battery. Wake up this morning at 0700 with 42% battery.

Nothing changed like doze settings or smth.

Sleeping like a baby (25 min Sot) wifi and lte.

Got phone yesterday. It had been charging sontooknit off charge when I went to sleep. 7 hours later it had only dropped 4% 96%.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] tCC:
2% batt drop in 9h21m with everything enabled overnight, very happy with that.

I even go to sleep with 30% juice left without plugging it into the charger now :)
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] jssagu:
I am amazed at the battery drain, hardly drains at all. I haven't not charged overnight like I did with my previous Pixel 2 XL. Battery drainer faster with P2XL.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] cologne83:
Plugged off charger at 0030 last night, now at 0830 had about 85%. Use AOD and no battery saving mode.

This is <2% per hour! Luv it!:cool:
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] tCC:
Only 5% last night here

Hopefully huawei can further improve the battery life
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] Nimay_7:
Brother even i have a same problem...

Every night before sleeping my phone is usually at 47-48%. Every morning it is at 15% or less..

Thats massive drop in 7-8 hours.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] Federicadr:
It could be the network signal. I've noticed that in my flat, when in standby, he doesn't drain that much and I'm on wifi and full signal coverage from Vodafone. On the other hand I have worse drain when I'm at work, still connected to the wifi but the network coverage is quite poor, so I realized it drains more even if I am not using it at all.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] spindowski:
About 3% drain overnight.. pretty good.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] Nimay_7:
Well you point is valid.

Here at my place i get full bars on my 4g network. So it doesn't seem that problem.

I tried to test just on network. Wifi off. Battery drained 3% over night. Which is fine.

Then i tried with wifi on, it drained 20%. What i am concerned is that usually when on wifi battery doesn't drain at all in standby mode, which is not the case with my unit.

I want to know if there is some problem with that
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] ahron90:
Me too. I am experiencing 11% battery drain during standby. When I looked into the battery usage, Screen, Phone Idle and Mobile standby seems to be on the high side of 20%.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] reppi:
What I've just discovered is that in mobile Network Setting -> advanced -> "mobile data always on" was activated by default. Just turned it off and will now see if it reduces both idle and active usage drain when connected with WIFI. Because afaik this setting keeps mobile data enabled when connected with wifi to make switching between wifi and mobile data quicker (which i dont really need and never missed).
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] ahron90:
Ok, I'll try this setting to see if it works for me. Thank you.:good:
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] spindowski:
I tried this last night and went from the usual 3% to just 1% during a 7 hr period.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] curlymanoliver:
I have p20 pro now, very happy with how little i drain overnight, but with a previous phone i noticed that when it was cold it frained much quicker, i dont know where the guys are who are omlainging about large battery drain, but it could be an issue?
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] ahron90:
I have set Mobile Data always on to Off but still experiencing great battery drain. Fully charged at 12am and woke up 5.30am with 70% remaining.

A quick look into my Battery Usage, found out that Screen, Phone Idle and Mobile standby is at 20ish%. Does anyone have this same issue or these 3 hardware should stay at a certain range in order for my battery drain to minimise?
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] eoga:
I think you definitely has something running in the background draining your battery. I have everything active even Mobile Data always on and still my battery only uses around 2% in 9-10 hours.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] ahron90:
I have done my settings in Launch App to control them manually only allow social media and messaging app to run in background. Do you set all these off or control them automatically?
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] eoga:
I have everything as it was per default. I haven't changed or turned off anything
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] donatinho:
In your shoes, I would install Better Battery Stats and have a closer look to partial wakelocks
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] ahron90:
Ok, I'll give this a try.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] Chris M.:
I am experiencing more battery drain during standby than I think I should. It drains 1%/15min with AOD+mobile data on.

Later edit: I forgot to say that I don't always get notifications when I should, I think it's because of the way the AI manages the processes.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] fredriks:
My P20 pro drains 1%/hour on standby, that's on WiFi. No AOD on but more or less everything else. Still think it's to high. Will do a test and disable WiFi one night just to test. When I got this phone I was hopping for batter battery but its still OK but not amazing as I hopped it should be.

I think my P20 pro drains to much in standby but I can't find anything that sticks out in usage. This is when my phone just is in standby. I've been using it at some point where there is a drop but most of the time it's standby. Tried to start it in safe mode just to see what happens then but don't succeed.

Anybody who knows how to start in safe mode?

Tried to press and hold volume down during startup and tried to fast click on volume down on startup but it doesn't work.

Can't add a screen dump but made a picture public in my Dropbox

[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] all the pugs:
Doesn't your screenshot state that you're nearing Day 3 of usage? That doesn't look too bad. What is your screen on time?

Safe mode: press Volume down repeatedly after powering up until you see the message "safe mode" appearing in the bottom left corner.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] fredriks:
Yes, soon 3 days on but hardly any usage. Think it was nearly 1 hour screen in those 3 days on. It's not a big issue but I still think standby should use less battery.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] all the pugs:
Yes ok, with such little usage, it should last a bit longer. Please report back your findings. My device is no battery wonder, either. I noticed in safe mode, there is very little battery drain, but I wasn't able to pinpoint it to any specific application so far.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] fredriks:
OK, I guess it's hard to find that specific app that causing this drain. I will give it a try though.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] fredriks:
Now it has been in safe mode for almost 17 hours and it's down to 92%. Less than 0.5%/hour, think that must be OK so my problem must be an application. Fault tracing has began [emoji16]. Starting to put Nine mail to sleep for a while just to see what happens.

[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] all the pugs:
Yeah, it looks like it. The question is, how to proceed. I have disabled or deleted as many apps as I could but still no luck. Logging out of the Google Account and Huawei Account have seem to stopped the drain, but then, the phone is only usable as a bare phone and camera. No emails, no sync, no nothing...
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] fredriks:
Yes, disable everything is not an option. Just have to live with it then [emoji53]

[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] robertd1:
Hi all,

I don't have a problem with draining the battery, especially when not using the phone.

But some guys form Poland have.

And it seems that it is because of preinstalled apps:

facebook app installer

facebook app manager

facebook services

one guy uninstall them using ADB and everything is ok, the problem has gone.

Maybe it's enough to deactivate them, but I don't know because I did not have them in the system.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] all the pugs:
I have disabled them too but still have drain. Do you need root to uninstall them?
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] fredriks:
I don't have Facebook preinstalled and don't use it so it's not on my phone. But good tip!

Skickat från min CLT-L29 via Tapatalk
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] robertd1:
no, you don't need root.

Unfortunately I can't insert link (really not good idea) but you could find instruction on YT, search:

"adb uninstall"

you could check package name also using ES File Explorer or other app.

Got my phone yesterday and after a (****ty) sleep, it drained like 5-6%
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] robertd1:
hi, on our ie Polish forum Rastasoul told that he had a problem with excessive battery drain only on wifi.

When he turned off wifi all was ok.

And lastly he did 4 things, unfortunately at once:

installed update 131 on phone

installed new firmware on his wifi access point/router at home

changed in this occasion channel

forgot wifi network on phone and added it again

and after all this he wrote very happy that the problem had disappeared.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] JimRamse:
On my phone there is a huge drain if I'm connected to 5GHz Wifi. Tested yesterday. Was logged on 5GHz network when I went to bed. 8 hours later it had dropped over 30%.

Charged it full this morning at work. 100% at 0900. It is now almost 1600 and it has only dropped 1%. (4G network, no WiFi). I'm off work in a few.

Will connect to the 2.4GHz WiFi network at home after work tonight and see what the drop is over night.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] forever_lol:
I am on c432 156 (patch 03). I've noticed that my standby drain has increased. 5-6 % over the night even with wifi/mobile data off. It's crazy.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] gazzalino:
I can't comment on overnight battery drain because I generally charge my p20 overnight, but I have noticed a massive improvement in battery life after turning off the 'always on display'. Fingers crossed that this continues and I hope this helps.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] Percy247:
I was looking to buy a p20 pro and am concerned about standby drain. It seems that this is a common problem on android phones and is linked to wifi and phone signal strength. I have no phone signal/reception at home (rural Yorkshire) and my previous phone (LG G6) would lose 2%/hr in flight mode and 4%/hr with WiFi on overnight. Do android phones constantly search for a signal/reception even though there isn’t any? I can understand if there was only very weak reception then this would chew through a lot of battery on the phone.

I am currently using an ancient iPhone 5s which uses WiFi calling at home with little or no standby drain. Is anyone using WiFi calling on the p20 pro and what effect is this having on their battery? Has any one got WiFi calling working with iD mobile in the Uk on this phone? Really love the look and feature set of the p20 but I can’t be living with this high standby drain whilst at home.

To those of you with high standby drain, how strong is your phone signal/reception?
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] robertd1:
I have P20 Pro from ~6 months. I do not use wifi calling, all have switch on (GPS, wifi, data) and battery drain over the night is ~2%. Sometimes even 1%.

That was on 8.1. Today I got 9.0. I will see how it will be on new system.

I have good wifi coverage in home and good LTE coverage (site near house).
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] Percy247:
That standby drain is amazing! Do you have full or very good 4G coverage?
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] robertd1:
Yes, I added above. You were faster :)

I have good wifi coverage in home and good LTE coverage (site near house).
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] Percy247:
Thanks for that. I believe there is a strong link between no/poor LTE and bad standby drain. Why must the phone have good LTE coverage to sleep properly!
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] robertd1:
People are afraid about nearest BS sites, but don't realise that if they do not have a good signal their phones work at maximum power lying near head over whole night or in the pants pocket.

About P20 Pro, I normal charge up to 80%. I talk with BT headset more than 4 hours during the day and at the evening I have ~30-40%. So should last for 1,5 day. I do not talk much at the weekend and phone works over 2 days. You can see on the screenshot 2d 13h.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] Mithias:
So for the past 3/4 nights my phone has been having terrible standby drain. It used to loose maybe 2-3% tops overnight but now it's like 40%.

I've been racking my brain to think of what's changed but can't think of anything. Really don't want to do a full reset if I can avoid it. Attached a couple of screen shots from Gsam showing what it sees if anyone has ideas?
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] robertd1:
Probably some application has been updated and is underdeveloped.

You could check in google play which applications have been updated recently.

If you have P20 Pro you could check which application gets most electricity in certain time period.

Android 8.1:

Settings>battery>finger on xx% >finger on "i" in a circle.

Android 9.0:

Settings>battery>details of battery consumption>software(apps)

and you could move the blue bar for the right time and see which app ate and how much at a specific time.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] Mithias:
Yeah I figured it would be an app of some sort but checking Gsam show the main bulk of power is Android system rather than an app. Its a p20 pro. Not received an update for a while so still scratching my head.

I do seem to get a lot of wakelocks, can't say I've checked before now though so no idea if these are normal or not?
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] robertd1:
[MENTION=625040]Mithias[/MENTION]

please see attached image in my post above. You will see blue "i" in a blue circle on top right. Please touch it on your phone of course :) And then use blue vertical bar on chart. You should find app or apps that drain the battery on your phone.

Are you from Poland? I see app blokada, it sounds Polish :)

If yes you can read also Polish forum:

https://forum.android.com.pl/topic/337262-p20-pro-bateria-statystyki-opinie-sot/

Some guys form Poland have excessive drain problem.

And it seems that it is because of preinstalled apps:

Maybe it helps you.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] Mithias:
I'll have to check that battery thing later, charging at the moment. I'm sure I checked that before and didn't see anything out of he ordinary but will check again just in case

NO there is not!

0% Drain overnight!

23:55 - 09:28 (11:55pm - 9:28am)
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] Mithias:
So last night the drain was much better, only a couple of percent all night. The only changes I made was this:

1. Stopped and disabled the Facebook app installer

2. Open up OneDrive and checked a few settings (OneDrive was updated when this started)

3. Swapped my routers 5ghz to be smart wireless instead of stuck on a channel, plus changed its DHCP from being a 255.255.0.0 to 255.255.255.0

No idea which of those helped but something did

[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] hqstatic:
How?

How did you achieve that? What are your settings
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] Mithias:
Which settings did you mean? Mostly its default, I've changed a few apps to be manual in phone manager to stop them running in the background bust mostly I've not touched things from being stock where possible. I'd recommend installing Gsam battery (and granting it the permissions in adb it needs) as I found that good for seeing exactly what is using power when (more than standard battery)

I guess this is more medium use than heavy or light, but coming from a 6p with a dying battery and the shut off issue, I woke up this morning on 100%, unplugged it at 4am when I woke up to close the windows and go back to sleep, with my phone set up from unboxing it yesterday, but not 'de-bloated' or anything. Wifi, BT,Data and Location are on, the auto screen adjustment is taking care of that, and I've been:

Facebook

Messenger

Hangouts

Browsing Forums

Playing a few games

Showing it off to colleagues etc

Currently sat at 81%, which is very impressive, 6p would be on charge by now! Will see what it's like with the same sort of use (which is my usual use tbh) by bedtime.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] dlads:
Coming from the, 1+5 with a smaller battery i did expect more stamina, albeit with a higher resolution screen as well as larger.

But even with the same apps installed and the same routine it just doesnt compare.

Cleared 10 hours SOT with the 1+5 quite easily, the pro barely makes that.

Probably the system or CPU /GPU causing it.

Nothing wrong with the battery but there are definitely better performers out there
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] all the pugs:
I think it's pretty enduring with light usage.

With the last charge, I had 2,5D of standby and 5.5h DOT. Mostly web, emails and Toy Blast because I was stuck in a traffic jam for hours and needed something to play....
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] bravo261:
how the hell are you guys achieving these numbers? i'm at 26hrs standby, only 1:03 SOT, and i'm at 52 percent. i've optimized the living hell out of the settings and app starts. at least i know what's possible for others
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] all the pugs:
How long have you been using it? I'm currently at 26h standby, 0.4h DOT and 84%. I have already ran a data backup, been on the phone for 40 minutes and did some emailing. BUT let me tell you, it was not like this from the beginning. I also have been optimizing the phone like a maniac because out of the box, I would only get like 30h standby and 2.5h DOT which is ridiculous. But I only recently noticed that the phone got gradually better after around 3 weeks with this device.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] XDARoni:
With light use, I am getting through two days of use before I have to recharge. Pretty standard.
