Screen on time - Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review

It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the Honor 8 Pro before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Fairly decent SOT. Though this one, i have always said, is very subjective. It depends on what we're doing -- I could just leave the screen on with a browser that is idle and gain crazy SOT measurement. Still, I am able to get a decent SOT for my usage. I feel screen uses lots of battery. If only we can manually change screen resolution like how many other brands are doing it.

SOT is marvellous. If someone just use this phone continuously for browsing, this phone can easily give about 8 hrs of SOT.

My SOT
Was able to reach 10hrs SOT today.
That is with regular push notifications, Whatsapp, some youtube, instagram, photo edits, browsing, 20mins of VR .
This is so satisfying.

I can extend if it is the stock rom of other devices. But this honor devices have system files even in data partition. I evn had an other thought about this by bringing a mod with stock apps.

In my experience, running Beanstalk Rom for the d802 gives me even better batterylife. Yesterday I had approx 60hours and 12 hours screen-on time. Didn't screenshot, can put one up after replicating it

With the Kernel that comes with the Beanstalk Rom or with Wootevers Kernel ? And did you changed any settings? Like Governor sheduler or something like this ?^^

I would really like you to come inside my "comparative battery" thread, and post your GSam results. I would like to dissect exactly why you get such screen times. It will be very easy to see if the ROM is responsible, or something else.

No, with wootevers kernel. Didn't change much with brightness and such, on 3G 80% of the time. Using the Faux123-app with over/underclocking is recommended for this kind of batterylife

Improved battery with this guy's guide (custom 7.1.1 + tweaks)

Just posted (it's been a while since I last posted) to share this guy's guide which improved my battery big time. No screenies yet for my batt stats but I can surely say it has improved for me.
I normally have about 3-4 SOT, but after trying this guide, it gave me about 3hr SOT @ about 50%. So here's the link

That's pretty rad. I'm impressed.

No, and I probably won't. My bootloader isn't even unlocked and I'm still on marshmallow. It got to be too much a pain in the butt to update my custom ROM on my last phone so I have never even bothered with it on this one.
Plus that also loses an important feature that I care about, Android pay.

In ninja kernel not existence
To find hawktail. U need ex kernel manager. At the menu go to cpu, then to governor options, then up at the top to load. You can select all kinds of profiles.
The ninja kernel it's now call flash also there are many different governor settings now it's all trial and error and what settings best works for your usage ..... Look for the advance interactive tweaks thread all is in there ....

Look guys, you don't have to do all those steps esp switching to f2fs, which is by the way a pain in the ass for me. It kept throwing "decryption password" error for me, so I skipped that part and that includes the installing of custom bootloader. The most important step there is the last step (14.) Installing ninja kernel + ex manager, tweaking ex manager, using leandroid.
Another battery crap thread??...jeez
Enviado desde mi Nexus 6P mediante Tapatalk
Hey, I'm the one who made the thread! After using F2FS and comparing it to my GF's 6P with the same rom and tweaks but EXT4, I can confirm F2FS does not increase performance, and may have a slight effect on battery. I recommend staying with EXT4.
i have seen that on reddit already, i so want to try it out !
I try it but in the 8 and 9 step when i have to flash to F2fs i don't have this option to format. Help??? I use the last versiĆ³n of cortex rom and elementalx
Know i can flash system and data, but cache make error and i can't reboot system

Is there any Nougat ROM that can give 5-6 hours of Screen on Time?

I am using MM for quite a while now. I want to know if there any Nougat ROM which is as stable as MM one with good Performance to battery ratio without any gaming ,just basic stuffs.

Multitasking/RAM

You're busy and don't have time to wait, which is why you need to stop reading this thread and get back to organizing your Pogs. Rate this thread to express how the Honor 4x performs when multitasking. A higher rating indicates that the Honor 4x keeps many apps in memory so that they don't need to reload, and that when moving between apps, transitions are smooth and performance is excellent.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
It can accomodate 20 apps in memory and handles them pretty well.
Laggy when using social apps but that's expected.
