[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] BBCLukeBetts:
Brilliant I hate Facebook, deleted it a while back, I'm a Twitter person myself, though I have to be because of the nature of my work. Anyway I have just disabled it along with the services. Do I need to disable anything else or is that it?

Ok that's good then I literally charged it last night for the first time so! Just tiny stutters here and there, opening apps closing them. Nothing major. Oh I hate iPhones with a passion. Apple are robbing the world. Fast charging as an example (Que the apple fanboys). I convinced my soon to be wife who has had apple since the 3GS to move to Samsung and android, she now has an S8 plus! She loves it and says she will never go back to Apple :svetius:

Sorry I mean the phone management/optimization app... It never optimizes to 100, it stays on like 93, Samsung optimises to 100 so not sure why it's doing this??
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] casabel:
coming from op6 i can say the following :

p20 pro much better quality in sound both speaker and call quality

p20 pro much better camera

screen quality almost same

op6 much more smooth and fast

op6 better software

op6 faster updates

op6 easy dev. and root etc

battery life is almost same if you have disabled p20pro battery optimization

in the end depends on what you prefer

p20pro is for photographs mostly and op6 is all arround phone
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] all the pugs:
No, there is really no *need* to disable apps, you just can IF you know you will not use them. I also deleted Netflix and Netflix partner activation service, just because I don't watch movies or tv shows on such a small screen, but really, you don't have to do this.

About the phone manager, it will actually optimize to 100, but I don't know if this is something important. I never use this feature, just did it to send you a screenshot ;)

I always had Apple from the iPhone 2G upwards to the 6s, but I really don't care so much about the brand and stuff. I just wanted to have tech that suits my needs. Now, Apple concentrating sooo much on the consumer and not so much on the professionals using their tools, I'm starting to look around... I don't want to be forced to use face unlock and really, I don't care about these freaking animojis. I'm not 12. I must admit that the first 2 weeks of Android were awkward, but now, I wouldn't get back even for money. I wouldn't want that iPhone X even if it was free (or: I would gladly take it and sell it for $$$$ ;)) ). I also never replaced my Mac Pro (because, what do I do with this ash tray shaped tiny round not user servicable plastic bog that is the new Mac Pro?). But other than that, I don't have any brand preferences. If it works and suits my needs, I'll take it.

Currently, the P20 Pro is really feeling like a biiig upgrade to my previous phone. I enjoy the big, bright screen, the design, the performance, and I am quite happy with photographs. I currently take a LOT of pictures with it and the quality is good enough to make some nice prints. It's also really convenient to be out with the dogs and answer business mails easily without squinting your eyes and having your thumb always press the wrong letters - really nice.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] BBCLukeBetts:
I feel like its a big upgrade too!! Very happy!!

This is what I am getting on the phone management app!! And that's straight after optimization!!
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] all the pugs:
Yeah, when you're optimizing, it's always suggesting you to remove large or unused apps or files. It also counts videos you haven't watched or apps you haven't used. So when you have 500 videos of your dogs playing and you don't want to remove a single one of them, but also you don't watch them every day, it will suggest you to remove them. If you don't do it, you don't get the 100 score. It says nothing, really. I only have 100 right now because I had switched to my new P20 Pro last week and didn't bother to import any images or videos. On my first P20 Pro, I also only got like 93 or something, because I carried around 18.000 photos and 500 videos of my pugs. True story.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] BBCLukeBetts:
Oh I see!! That's ok then!!!
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] BBCLukeBetts:
So you think any lag or stutters will disappear after a few days? Will the new GPU update help performance or is that just games? I don't even play games. And I should also expect the battery life to be tip top after a few days too?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] all the pugs:
I don’t know about lags as really, I have not experienced any lag or stutter so far. Battery always takes a while to get to full capacity and also depends on your usage. I recently had 3 days standby, 4.5 hours of SOT plus 1 hours of voice calls all in one single charge. That’s good in my opinion. GPU Turbo will be released next month, not sure if this affects the overall performance or just games. I‘ve heard mixed statements, let’s just see :)
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] BBCLukeBetts:
The phone is as smooth as a mother f#@*& . I think coming from the S9 plus I am being fussy with that being the newest processor. Yeah that is very good actually! Hmmm I hope it helps the overall performance too. But like you said we will see!!
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] BBCLukeBetts:
Also what do you let your phone go down to before charging?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] all the pugs:
Whatever it is in the evenings. It usually lasts 2-3 days, so sometimes it’s around 15% and sometimes it‘s 25%. I judge in the evening if it will bring me through another day, and if it’s below 35%, it could get tight ;)

If I have a looong day ahead of me, I charge no matter what. And yep, I charge to 100%. I rather have the battery exchanged in a few years than make a science out of charging.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] BBCLukeBetts:
Mines now on 11% do I charge? They say never go below a certain number? Lol I'm just being cautious as it's a new phone lol
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] all the pugs:
Suuure, charge!

Charging!!!

P20 pro:

-battery life

-best triple camera for low light

S9+

-best screen display

-wireless charging
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] all the pugs:
But wireless charging is soooo slooow... I see it's convenient but it drives me nuts.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] BBCLukeBetts:
I love the P20 Pro's screen!
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] BBCLukeBetts:
How long does it take until the battery is at its best? :)
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] all the pugs:
A few charges. 2 Weeks maybe.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] BBCLukeBetts:
Feels like my battery is dropping quite quick! Either that or I'm expecting too much!
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] all the pugs:
Mileage may vary. I also don‘t get the insane SOT times but this charge lastet almost 3 days with 6h SOT and 3h on the phone.. that‘s ok for me. I noticed an improvement in battery after 10 days or so..
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] BBCLukeBetts:
Yeah that's what I'm hoping for! I will let you know how it gets on!!
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] BBCLukeBetts:
So your battery wasn't all that when you first got it? But after 10 days or so it was at its best? What were you averaging? And what are you averaging now?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] all the pugs:
No my battery was **** in the beginning. I'm not a heavy user, so usually it lasts between 2 and 3 days. At first, it was like 3 hours SOT and 1.5 days standby, now it's around 4.5 - 6h SOT and 3 days standby. If you use it heavily in one day, you will of course get more SOT and less standby. If you don't use it as much, you get more standby. My husband's P20 Pro is around 4-5 days standby with one charge, but he doesn't use it much. If you don't use it at all (and no SIM card, but google accounts active) it will last forever. I had mine at 7 days standby and 40% battery left before I resetted it and gave it to my husband.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] BBCLukeBetts:
Battery life is as bad as S9 plus at the moment lol
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] subhani:
Very likely. I mean according to EVERY single battery test out there online, the P20 Pro beats all its rivals, without fail, every time. The important point is, by how much? And you'll see that it ISN'T by 2 hours of screen on time (SOT) more. It is like 1 hour or more or less. This is basically comparable to any other phone in everyday use. However, there are other factors and my usage has been contradictory of the findings I just stated i.e. my SOT is much higher than my Pixel XL. I have had 9 hours of SOT about two times and 9.5 hours once. But on average I get 8 hours, sometimes 7.5. Which is 3 hours more SOT than my Pixel XL.

The other thing you need to factor in, is that you are mobile, outdoors and about. Regularly switching between WiFi and cellular connection or stuck on cell data only, scanning for the nearest mast. All the online battery tests, however are done static, without any cellular data or connection and from one indoor location. WiFi only. Which alone gives the testers 2 hours or more SOT than a guy who's mobile. (Cellular connection strength is a big battery drainer, after screen on time, after gaming, in that order. Audio through speakers can also reduce battery life more than one expects.) It also depends on how close you are to the exchange, so if you are close like I am from my home to the exchange, my cell reception and battery life do well, without WiFi. But I still choose WiFi as it is more efficient and saves mobile data.

I work from home and so I CAN get 9.5 hours of SOT, mostly using WiFi. I use social media a lot as part of my work and I browse and read online content. No games or movies. I know that as soon as I get out and about, I will likely lose 2.5 hours of SOT. Maybe even 3. So that would leave me with 5.5 hours of SOT if I'm brutally honest, which translates as 3.5 hours on the Pixel XL. Which is plenty for me if I'm out and about, doing a regular non home based job. My previous place of employment had no cell reception so calls wouldn't come through and data through weak WiFi at work helped. But the radios on the phone kept looking for a connection all day and every day. This taxed the battery on my old phones. And I live in London!

The bottom line is, BATTERY LIFE ON THE P20 PRO IS still THE BEST I'VE EVER HAD ON A PHONE. I've owned other champs in the past but they always disappointed, such as the LG G2 and the Experia Z3. And the reviews confirm it in their tests too. If you are getting worse battery life than one of your other phones, there may be an app that doesn't like this phone or a process somewhere that you aren't controlling properly. Because with all variables kept the same, the P20 Pro always wins the battery life comparisons.

(Side note: see tech zilla YouTube channel for tips on what to do on your P20 Pro once buying it. Check his other P20 Pro related stuff too. He's an Asian chap based in the UK. Which reminds me, also check out tips and reviews on our P20 Pro from the Tech Chap, based in the UK as well. Bigger channel.)
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] subhani:
Just posting my current battery levels on writing this post. So after unplugging over 9 hours ago, (yes I'm a night owl sometimes) I have had the screen on for 2.5 hours and my battery level is at 75%. If I just carry on doing the same thing I'm doing on my phone without any breaks, it would mean I can get 10 hours or SOT before my battery dies.

But in a real day scenario with breaks in between usage, I would expect something like 7 hours and 45 minutes or even 8 hours if I'm as lucky as I normally am. If I were to take a lot of photos and was uploading them online, then I would sacrifice some battery life doing this.

What do you think is killing my battery. I have turned the movie data always on... Off also.

Have a look at my battery stats . Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm not a heavy user whatsoever. I look at some Twitter, Instagram, messages whatsapp and personal and work emails. Never play games. Sometimes will watch Netflix but rarely. It's just bugging me as I did the same on my S9 Plus and it seems too be worse battery on my P20 Pro.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] deraiz12:
Hi, pay attention of location settings (not in high accuracy) and turn of location history.

And other tips turn off voice match (in Google assistant) it consume huge battery...

For me I just pay attention of that and for all other stuff, app, setup... I just use my phone.

Before my P20 Pro I have also an Samsung phone (S8) and with them I need to turn off all stuff (like smart stay, smart alert, 4k,...)for decent battery life (but it just barely acceptable...)

With P20 pro I have no problem (except two with Google voice match and location)

Average day :

2 day (6h / 21h)

5h30 of sot (45 minutes of game, work mail, Facebook "Pwa", Google + "Pwa", camera ..)

I hope this help you.

Ps : sorry if my English is bad (I learn since 1 year, but I'm French ?...)
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] all the pugs:
Battery life of my device is ok, but I also NEVER get near any of these insane SOT times you guys here get. A charge usually lasts 2-3 days with 3-4.5h SOT. That's it. I'm not a heavy user, and also with the most basic apps installed and most G-apps disabled or removed, I could only get to like 5 hours SOT. But on the other hand, 4-5 hours is enough for my usage, when I'm out working, I can get along fine with it. It shouldn't be any less (that could be a problem), but 4-5 hours is ok.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] all the pugs:
This uploader thingie drives me mad. Geez, I'm giving up! It says, SOT: 2h 24m 20s.

No idea why this current charge is so bad, I think regular reboots help my phone back on track when it's slackin'...
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] subhani:
That is really good battery life! Look, as I stated in my long winded rambling above, if you use your phone non stop, you will easily get 9 hours of SOT, maybe 10. Especially if you are at a fixed location with stable wifi, like at your office desk for 8 hours or at home like me.

However, if you spread out your usage over three days, then the battery is still draining even when the display is off. So let's take the opposite extreme scenario. If you don't wake your device to use it at all, you will get 7 days of battery life but two minutes of SOT. The more you use it, the quicker you will need the charger, but the more SOT you will get. Sounds obvious, because it is. You didn't charge your phone in three days because you hardly used your phone, and because you hardly used your phone, it shows you that the display was used by you just 3.5 hours in three days. I used my phone all day and got 8 hours of SOT and so I needed to charge it the same day. I used to get 4.5 hours of SOT on some of my previous phones and need to charge it the same day! Please let me know if this doesn't make sense.

Show us the screen on time please. Looks good, considering you are using bluetooth, likely to listen to music. And the dailymail app seems like a drain.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] all the pugs:
It does, but my old and beaten iPhone 6s also gave me 3h SOT and even more standby. :)

I was just hoping for an improvement, given the huge battery and stuff. Not complaining, but I don't think my phone will ever give me 9h SOT. Even if I only use it at home next to the wifi device, you can watch the battery drop when using it. I went a little Amazon shopping, read one email notification and wrote this posting, and the battery dropped 9% doing this, LOL -. -
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] subhani:
Try after a full charge. Once at 100%, just turn the phone off for a minute for good measure and then, use the phone for 2 hours straight or as close together as possible. Report battery drain after that. Like I said, the iphone 8, One Plus 6, the s9plus and others are only behind by a margin of one hour and a half at most. Even on the same day, that one and a half hour leg up is hardly noticeable, but to spread that over three days? You won't know the difference at all.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] all the pugs:
What would I do 2 hours straight with the phone? :D

Anyway, I'm not really complaining. When I know I need the phone a lot the next day, I charge it and this is enough to help me through a busy day, even if it "only" gives me 5 hours. For casual usage where a charge lasts 3 days, I can really not see any difference to my old iPhone 6s.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Jonathan-H:
Iphones have great standby, and over 3 days you will see similar useage because iphone 6s is such a slow phone with a slow processor, low res screen etc.

An android phone with 4 to 5 hours SOT over 3 days is unheard of.

Also, if you use the phone over one day, you will see 8 to 9 hours SOT. My works iphone 6s won't see more than 4 hours SOT in a day.

There is a reason when you are on a bus or train, it's only iphone users with their phones plugged into the charger every day.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] all the pugs:
I didn't know there is SUCH a difference in iPhones and Android phones in regarding battery life. Never realized how slow the 6s is until I got the P20 Pro :D
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] subhani:
Well one thing is certain, that the P20 Pro charges much faster than any iPhone.

Furthermore, even if by a margin of one hour or more, a win is a win and the P20 Pro wins every battery life test out there.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] deraiz12:
Pay attention of Amazon app it consume some battery (look in automatic launch history and you understand...)
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] all the pugs:
You are right. I disabled background starting of the app and in automatic launch history, it shows a lot of launchs, but also with the addition "restricted". No idea if this means the app tried to start but it was forbidden?

[MENTION=9305689]BBCLukeBetts[/MENTION], not sure if you've committed to a phone yet, but i'd hold fire and get the Pixel 3, or perhaps the 6T.

At this moment in time for all it's good, i would not buy the P20 Pro
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] deraiz12:
Yes the application try to start but the system (Ai?) think is not necessary for your use. (for exemple is not time where you use this application usually )

This is from when I had my OnePlus 5

Check who's at the top :D

All the proof has to be provided or you don't get on the board.

Like I said 7 hours is not good. For a phone with a 4000Mah battery I would expect a lot more.

Seeing as I've had twice that amount with a phone with a substantially smaller battery.

Screen shots are present in the thread.

Most I've had on the p20 or is around 11 hours.

That's got very little to do with it mate, it's mainly down to usage, apps and yes the ROM does have an impact.

None of the leaders were using a stock ROM.

And lol what ROM are you running on the p20 pro? there's only one?

Ive had an iPhone 6 last a week sat in my draw, syncing emails and the odd WhatsApp message and calls. 185 hours it lasted.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Oreodomino:
I thought people were saying they had 7 to 10 hours of SoT earlier. That's why I said I must be doing something intensive to only last about 4,5 hours on average
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
Yea 4-5 is heavy usage mate.

If I use my phone normally.

Gaming (light)

WhatsApp all day

Text all day

Good few calls

Browsing

WiFi , location, Bluetooth, mobile data all on

Don't have any active syncs I can avoid

No facebook. Snapchat, Viber, Skype, secondary email, Twitter.

Never over charge my phone.

Always pay for apps instead of having ads running in apps.

No redundant apps at all, nothing I don't need or use.

Heavily debloated without losing functionality.

Googling (a lot)

I average about 8-10 hours SOT and up time is usually about 30 hours.

Got my montblanc answer watch connected most hours of the day.

If I don't game or use WhatsApp so much then I usually break 10 hours on average.

Most I've had on the p20 pro is about 12, it just can't compete with the OnePlus 5.

But then again, neither can the 5T or the 6, for some stupid reason they left the battery size and upped the screen size and resolution? Ridiculous decision, 1080p from the OnePlus 5 was perfect. 2k and 4k screens on a phone is overkill.

A good test to see if you've got an efficient phone is to see how much you lose overnight, I normally lose between 0 - 2% on the OnePlus it was 0 -1%

If left untweaked then I'll lose over 5% which is crap.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Oreodomino:
So my original question stands: is something wrong with my phone? My usage seems very similar to yours, except for the 5 hours of podcasts over Bluetooth. Hard time believing that's it but I guess it could
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
I wouldn't say it is that.

Your content and habits are going to play a massive part. One rogue app is all that it takes.

I've been doing this for years (keeping my phone extremely light) there are always more ways to make it last longer.

Just take a look at your apps and your desktops, anything you can kill, kill.

The less syncing the better .

Pm me and I'll do what I can to help. Ideally what apps you have installed, how many emails syncing, just take a scrolling screenshot of your app drawer. Don't send no personal stuff, IMEI etc

Will help where I can.
