Standby drain - Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review

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 Honor 8 Pro's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.

Have not really bothered with this. Also, depends on background apps. But i'm happy with it so far.

Standby drain is a bit high I feel. Lost about 4 percent in 8 hours.

We can use close apps in locl screen feature to extend standby battery.

I loose about 2-5 % overnight.

I prefer to put the phone in flight mode before sleep. It helps me lot.

Yesterday night around 11.45 I disconnected charger at 98% battery and kept mobile with data and Wi-Fi off.
Today morning around 6.45 I checked and it was still 98% and after some uses it started coming down as usual.

Fine

Even mine drains! But I keep my location on I think I should try switching it off and see..but not loosing even a single percent!! It's crazy good

I think is normal to loose 1-10% over night if u have standby Facebook app and fb messenger ,what's up, viber, twiter,Instagram + other system procesess. You should set what app wont be closed when your screen is off.For me there is nothing I want more, the device's autonomy saved me!

Just standard drain

Gives me 2 days
I figure this will shake some things up. The attached screenshot speaks for itself, 100% legitimate. The SOT on this one wasn't much, it was 3 hours I believe, but I could be wrong. I'm an abnormal user, I turn my wifi/cell/gps off when not in use. I generally don't use my cell phone a whole lot.
There was one time were the phone had been on for two days and the SOT was 9 hours I believe. But again I could be slightly wrong, it was awhile ago.
Seems like a good battery life
With beanstalk ROM, i got 0% drain for 10-12 hours in flight mode.
Stand by is very good.

nice :good:
With the use of Amplify, I get 0% drain overnight.
even with stock, i can have drain of only a few digits.. max of 3 to 4
Near zero standby drain at night
Last night I got 0 drain overnight.
Since all my reviews are based on experience from EMUI, I noticed about 4-6% battery drain over night even when using Greenify to disable to most 3rd party apps. I don't know if I should complain about it because that phone is using dual SIMs. Rating for it is 6/10.

I noticed unusual battery drains when I unboxed it. Charged it to 100% and then would drain quickly until 50% in just about 35mins and then it would work somewhat better. It was their huawei awful software.

Almost the same story here. I had to use my phone with so much precaution so that battery doesn't drains quickly. I hated every bit of EMUI.
TBH, I am not a 'fan' of every phone company. For that reason, I may open mine in about 6-7 years with my friends. They always add one thing and exclude 2 things from the phone.

lasts well on standby
Lasts way longer on single sim with wifi commected, gets around 6hours SOT
With light usage I can go on 8 hrs.
Light usage gets my phone running for 1 and half day
Same with Honor 8. Can last 2 days with very light usage.

having battery problems after upgrading to marshmellow...

I have been having battery life problems after upgradig my z2(d6503) .....any solutions? Please help
I am using mrsl v6 rom now....what is this 'Miscellaneous'....i would like to know what is causing that
Thanks
upgrade by "downgrading" to lollipop
It might be wise to state what your problem is instead of random screenshots. You havnt said what's eating your battery, how long it's been off change, status of states sleep/awake, status of reception or WiFi. How long you have been using MM.
2.5 hours screen on time would be awesome if your phone has been off charge for a month.
Everything is better on MM from my point of view. Even battery without stamina.

I bought my Z2 in december 2015.
Latest MM. 570 working perfectly with battery.
I got 6hours SOT, 570 ultrasilm rom

Which rom are you using?
I´m on existenz MM 6.0.1 and I use 50% from I wake up till i sleep.
Lithium batteries don´t like to be deep cycled, so the less you use them, the better. I always try not to use more than 50% without charging.

No it isn´t.
Lithium batteries (as most chemicals) wear with use, so the less you use them, the more they last.
You can make your battery last 3 times longer by not using it past 50% on a frequent basis.
"Table 2: Cycle life as a function of depth of discharge.
A partial discharge reduces stress and prolongs battery life. Elevated temperature and high currents also affect cycle life."
DoD = Depth of Discharge
100% DoD: 300 – 500 cycles
50% DoD: 1,200 – 1,500 cycles
25% DoD: 2,000 – 2,500 cycles
10% DoD: 3,750 – 4,700

That's an excellent discovery, my friend. What you can also do, is leave your phone where you bought it and not using it at all. Therefore, the battery will never be used.
What kind of reasoning is that? It's like having a Ferrari and not using it because you don't want the oil to be consumed.

Sure. Have you thought about protecting your phone, in case you power it on by mistake? Maybe it will lose 0.000000000001% of its capacity and you'll have to buy a new one...

Have to say... On light use, the 4k battery is really obvious. It's like a Duracell bunny going all day...
It can easily give last more than 24 hours on light use.

approximately 2 days of battery on light usage.
on light usage it goes on n on
Very bad battery performance for me. With very light usage and music.. It didn't even last for 9 hours. The last 40mins on ultra power saving mode. Any suggestions.

I am seeing a 7-8% battery drain on my Exynos Note 9
I am using
4G data,
no wifi,
no BT,
no NFC,
AOD - On,
All sensors like - Smart Stay, Smart Capture, Smart Alert, Easy Mute etc Off
Screen Auto Brightness Off
Screen at 40% brightness
I go down about 2-3% overnight. Everything on except for NFC. Had the phone about a week now.

Try turning off all radios ( airplane mode ) when going to bed and see how much discharge you get once you wake up in the morning.

Is yours snapdragon or exynos?
sure i will do that tonight. But even during the day, i woke up at 7AM with 75% and now at 12:20PM it is 34%. I would have been in 30 mins of call, checked mails and whatsapp messages and that's all. NO games, NO video (youtube) etc. Isn't that too much? I am on 4G and all other radios off.

1% battery loss when on airplane mode with mid-battery saver on.
Will try without battery saver to see
Anyone ever tried analyzing the difference in battery drain between WQHD vs Full HD?
Read somewhere that there is no difference given that the phone still needs to push the same amount of pixels it was built to do. Curious..
in Exynos variant i am loosing 3% battery drain for 6.5hrs at night after turning off wifi and mobile data

Not necessarily. Could also mean that the signal from your telco company is not as strong as the other person's. This means your phone is pushing more power trying to get a better signal.

That's true. My house has bad telco network. Wi-fi does improve the battery drain a lot. Also my N9 is coming out to show its colors. Finished 2 work days with 40%+ battery.
So far,with Airplane mode 2% and without 3%. No AOD. Also rocks 2.5 days before recharging. At 2.5 days I have 15% battery left. I am impressed but it is still early.
Hahaaaaahahahahaah 2.5 days... GTFO !

2% an hour? How the hell do you get 2.5 days off a charge if you're draining 2% an hour? My standby averages .3-.7h an hour. Usually closer to .7%. I wish it stuck closer to .3% because I think .7% an hour is too high for the great reception I get.
