I updated my A710FD to Marshmallow and after applying following steps,I am getting very good and stable battery life. Thought to share the same with other people who are interested in battery saving:
Go to Settings > More Connection Settings -- Switch "OFF" nearby device scanning.
Go to Battery> App Power Saving DETAIL -- Select SAVE POWER as "ALWAYS" for games and other app which don't need to keep running in the background.
Prefer Dark Theme for phone.
Edit app permissions individually. Deny them as much permissions as possible.
Disable or Uninstall the apps which you don't use.
Switch Off some of the "Advanced features", which you won't use.
Disable "Vibrations" and "Touch Sounds" .
Let me know if you know some other tricks to save the juice !
Turn off autobrightness helps a lot
I very confused about the launch settings options in my Mate 10 Pro under settings -> battery. I understand what it does, but what I dont understand is if this is connected to the native oreo Android battery optimizations or not? If I turn all of the apps in Launch to manual, is the Android managing optimizations still or is everything turned off?
The Launch settings is way to aggressive and makes my phone skip notifications and important stuff is not happening.
After you set your launch control to manual, you have to "exempt from battery optimization" (no idea where in the settings is buried, I just type "exempt" into the search bar in the settings menu)
Huawei health always closes on locked screen, I've added as a system app, every battery saving option is disabled. Battery optimization is set to Not optimized.
Developer mode enabled. Any idea?
During the MIUI first-boot setup process, I chose to import settings via Google from a previous Android One Mi A2 lite. It seems some settings were imported which are now still active but I cannot seem to change or reset via the MIUI interface:
* Battery saver mode - turns on when battery falls below X%, enforces dark mode and no vibrations etc
* 'Bedtime' red tint - turns on/off at the time set on the old phone, but I can't modify this via the MIUI settings
Is the MIUI implementation of these features separate from the underlying Android, or why is this happening?
More importantly, is there a way to reset these settings?
I managed to access the Android battery saver settings (which are indeed at least partly separate from the MIUI ones) via Google Assistant and the command "show battery settings". This opens a rudimentary UI which allows one to change the imported settings.
Not sure how to do the same for the night shift mode yet.

May be try Activity Launcher ?
Hello everyone, I put a little tutorial to maximize the battery life of our Realme GT2 Pro.
As I describe, I have my drive configured. If you want, you can inform in the thread what results your phone now shows you with this configuration.
Greetings.
1.- DEACTIVATE AUTOMATIC UPDATES.
In this way we will avoid that the mobile is constantly looking for updates and therefore consuming battery.
1.1- We go to the Play Store and in Settings / Network Preferences / Update applications automatically, we mark not update applications automatically.
1.2- Once this is done, we go to Settings. We follow the path Settings / About Device, click on 3 of Realme UI, now click on the three dots at the top right, in the window that appears click Auto update and then mark the option "Do not allow", so we disable download automatically.
2.- DEACTIVATE THE WIFI ASSISTANT.
This option allows the mobile to automatically change the network, without us having to be aware of it, but it uses the battery unnecessarily. We are going to configure it to do it manually.
We follow the route Settings / Wifi / Wi-Fi Assistant, enter and deactivate the option "Auto connect to the best Wi-Fi".
3.-DEACTIVATE THE PRINTING SERVICES.
We have these services to connect to printers active all the time and the phone will be constantly looking for printers so that we can connect.
We go to Settings and at the top of the search bar we will write print. Click on the only option that comes out, "Default Print Service", once inside we deactivate it and avoid having it in a continuous search.
4.- DEACTIVATE EXPERIENCE IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.
We follow the route Settings / About Device / Experience improvement programs and inside we deactivate the two options.
5.- ACTIVATE “OPTIMIZED STANDBY” OPTION.
We follow the path Settings / Battery / Advanced Settings / Optimized Standby, once inside we mark the Balanced Mode option. In this way we minimize energy consumption when the phone is not in use, but without causing delays in receiving messages.
6.- ACTIVATE SMART 5G.
We follow the path Settings / Mobile Network / Advanced Settings, once inside we mark the smart 5G option. We will get it to automatically switch between 5G and 4G reducing battery consumption.
However, in places where there is no good 5G network, it is convenient not to activate it and follow the path Settings / Mobile Network / SIM 1 or 2 / Preferred Network Type and press 4G/3G/2G.
7.- APP QUICK FREEZE
We follow the path Settings / Battery / Advanced Settings / App Quick Freeze.
There we select the apps that we want to restrict their activity in the background.
With this we will restrict the background activity of the selected applications, reducing their activity will also lead to lower battery consumption.
In addition to the above configuration, I also have the following:
Dark mode, manual brightness at 70-80%, Screen Refresh Rate I take it in "High", Screen resolution in FHD +, touch sounds, screen lock sounds, capture sounds, keyboard sounds, all off, vibration off.
In Developer Options:
"Logger buffer sizes", I have it set to 1Mb.
Window animation Scale / Transition animation Scale / Animator duration Scale. All three are by default at 1x, I lowered all three to 0.5x.
Good points ,thanks .
Might also want to include setting screen refresh rate to auto Select
Great guide but I have a question, do you have a smart 5g option? Just got mine today and I'm on the latest version and there is no such toggle.
Disabeling the gaming app also makes a difference for me.
Never used game app. Just disabled ...
If you disable the Google Feed, you also reduce consumption, it will not be active in the background.

That option is no longer there, with the last update it has disappeared
I think the last update also improved battery life
Laat update did indeed update the battery life. I went from 5 to 7 hours on screen time! Very pleased with this.
Glad to hear that. Hopefully more good fixes are coming.
How are you doing with the battery life?
