On my emui8, 'data usage' is badly broken:
- on main graph, the change of day happens at 1 o'clock AM and not at midnight as it should.
- on main graph, Dayly data shown are wrong
- on by app graphs, hourly and dayly data shown are wrong
Is it partialy linked to the fact i was on gmt+1 and i'm now on gmt+2 since Daytime Saving Light switched ?
I tried to play with my gmt and or time settings to no success, just strange results...
I found another user, same timezone, who doesn't experience this problem...
Only difference seems he format after upgrading to oreo back in early march.
Do you see the same thing on your data usage ?
Anyone to help me ?
Is your data usage graph and settings correct ?
Or one hour off witj strange data values ?
Here is a video showing how my data usage is one hour late :
https://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/5ace01c9af3b3/SVID_20180411_142751.mp4
Do you experience the same behaviour ?
Yes, I've take a look on my data usage, look really messy, start @ 1h, like you, and data wifi or cellular are strange. Maybe the daily or weekly average is ok, but timing is not ok.
I 've see your video, your screen shot is in French ? send me a PM if you want more details ,it's will be easier ( for me ) in French
Thanks for your feedback.
So we're all affected by this bug.
The user who previously doesn't thinked he experienced this problem, in fact did.
So here the results of few tests :
Main data usage graph's values are wrong because :
1) dayly value are timestamped one hour late
2) new day switch happens one hour late on main data graph.
So the dayly amounts shown on graph are wrong because one hour late, because without the data used on the day's first hour and because with the data used on the next day's first hour.
Apps' hourly data usage graphs are so wrong they don't make any sense at all :
1) hourly values are timestamped one hour late
2) some finished hourly timestamped values keep decreasing while a -2 hours timestamped 'linked' value keep increasing proportionally... And so on, as time flowing, it keeps going on changing past and over hourly values again and again...
[batteries are telling thanks for this usefull workload !!!]
On the other hand:
Apps' dayly data usage graphs seem right.
Dayly, weekly and monthly apps' data rankings seem rights.
Note: Phone is on GMT+2 with DST, I didn't test before while on GMT+1.

i've wrote this on motorola europe page (cause i have an european model)
i'd like to report a bug on Motorola Razr xt910 (en.eu)
when i leave "wireless" localization activated, battery goes down much faster... and looking at analysis programs like cpu spy, i can see that phone has the "standby" divided in 50% sleep, 50% 300mhz, so i think that localization polling isn't On-demand as it should be (for example ia have a meteo app wich updates every 3 hours...) but it's almost always activated... probably is a smart actions bug? think is the app wich needs more localization.... but also for that, think we need a way to use it in sleep mode...
for example, have detached phone 4 hours ago, 1 hour, i hade wireless loc activated, 10%battery gone down, 3 hourse deactivated, battery is at 90% and i used it more than the 1 hour standby....
someone has tried?
someone would try on different versione?
if someone has similar situation, would post on his localized (american for americans etc) motorola page, so we can suggest where to search for this bug?
My record is 48 hours with location service (wireless) off.
When I allowed it to run, battery was 50% after 8-12 hours.
It "collects anonymous position data to increase.. bla bla bla"
Turn it off and leave it off imo, it's G maps that are running and polling the gps.

Its the location service which is always running in the background... to check it, open the browser and go to google, it would show the current position.
This is not a bug, but more "Apple" like implementation for location based services....
if you dont want location based services, just turn it off....

but i had on other phones, and it didn't change battery life so much...
1 or 2 hourse....
now i have 12 hours, 80%....
leaving it active, i would have it at 80% in 3 or 4 hourse...
i think it's not normal... usually localization is on demand...
you open maps, it polls location, you close/background it, stops polling... etc
on my optimus 2x for example, there was so much difference...
don't know, i think something isn't right with localization
Yes, but as you said the other phones have localization on demand...not in this...open the task manager, and you will see, 90% of the times, googlemaps in running in the background..
to avoid this, just put the google maps and other location based applications to "auto-end list"... it would stop the process after you turn off the display...
maybe this could help...
Another thing is the infamous suspend process in Android which consumes a lot of battery...you could do nothing... but even with that I can get on with an entire day with WCDMA/HSPA network and atleast 5-6 hours of music playback....
Hi Guys,
I have recently installed whatsapp on my HTC Titan, - its a great app, has drastically reduced my international call and text cost.
How ever the battery life of my phone is taking a huge hit. i am talking about 7 hours total from full charge - when i engage in continuous chatting on the app.
Is anyone experiencing any similar issues? - will be grateful if any one can help figure out the reason for the drain
Cheers
JP

Yes, this is because Whatsapp is continiously checking for new messages using your cellular connection. This means the modem is ALWAYS engaged, and you're practially always connected.
Some random website gave call time spec: Up to 6 h 50 min (3G)
This seems about right with your battery usage.
Being connected with 3g basically counts as talk time, Since the mic and speaker are the least of your worries battery consumtion wise.
Normal synchronisation like email is set at 30 minute (customizable) intervals.
This saves a lot of battery power.
Basically, this goes for any app that uses a continious internet connection (e.g. browser, ad supported app, online navigation, chat.)
Note that in some research a while ago someone tested battery usage in games, and it turns out that displaying ads uses more power than running the game itself (assuming the game is off-line).
http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/people/mzh/eurosys-2012.pdf
Whatsapp is one of those apps that uses continious internet connection.
Also recieving email's "as they arrive" also drains power. So does facebook/messenger chat and any app that refreshes their data in the background frequently OR that is ad supported.
I'm using whatsapp, receiving messages during all the day and my battery stands with no problem until night, 16-18 hours. I think that the battery problem is more related with the time you are writing messages, with the screen, our huge screen, on.
I have had Whatsapp on since day 1 and never had any issues with battery and Whatsapp.
If you do continous chat for 6-7 hours I think your culprit is your screen brightness and CPU that keeps your phone locking and unlocking! I get occassional messages on Whatsapp throughout the day and I manage to reply them whenever I have some spare time. Same with emails.
You can even try anything that will keep your phone "awake" in foreground i.e. keep communicating via emails or e-books with screen on and data on - you will have battery drain.
But same activity on intermittent basis will not cause this drain.
Also, your network coverage - the farther you are from the network masts, the quicker you will drain your phone. Sadly we can't do much about it unless you live in a super-connected area.
@jpmalum: are you using push notifications?
@kpn: actually, WP7 has a completely different background processing policy compared to Android. Incoming notifications flow through MS's push notification service which greatly reduces network access. Periodic polling by apps is restricted to intervals of 15 minutes minimum, and device wakeups for different apps are coalesced to avoid each of them generating its own 3G tail like on Android.
Also, KPN should really fix their network settings, tail times on the KPN network are ridiculous, the modem stays in FACH for up to a full minute! I am aware that this is probably better for browsing but come on, a _minute_, really?
I have some power traces from a Galaxy Nexus with a background process doing some network stuff once per 5 minutes. On KPN, the app uses 277.59J/hour, versus 182.05J/hour and 205.47J/hour on TMobile and Vodafone respectively. The difference is not due to signal strength, but comes purely from tail time. Hopefully fast dormancy and the new enhanced FACH state will fix this in the future, but they require carrier support to work.

My Samsung S3 battery goes from fully charged to "low battery" often before I get home from work. I just put up with it because troubleshooting Android is such a pain even with Better Battery Stats.
But by exceeding my data quota this month I see exactly what the problem is. Android 4.3 disabled data last night because I went over my quota.
It is now 6:02PM and my battery is at 82% when it would usually be at 5% by now. I still used my phone almost exactly the same amount as I have a desktop at work. My battery usually goes down to 5% just doing nothing in my pocket and making a few calls and texts and some music listening.
My poor battery life is due to all the data transfer bull Google is doing in the background every day.
Better battery stats can identify the process like Bam_dmux or fast dormancy, but it doesn't tell you which apps are actually calling the wakelock.
If Android did keep proper track of this I am sure many apps would be deleted (including Google Apps) from phone in a instant.
But it is too much trouble to try to figure out which one it is so we just put up with 6 hour standby battery life when the manufacturer claims 72 hours.
What a mess ..... I am going to have to research "restrict background data" now to waste more of my time.
Looking at Data Usage in setting doesn't help much because it only tells how much not how often
HaHaHaHa: Google Search on = android "restrict background data" gives 192,000 hits
Does anyone know a good site or method to do this?
Fixed Battery Issue
Well I managed to solve my battery problems at least until the next round of updates.
Previously ..... Galaxy S3 goes from full battery to empty by about 4:00PM in the workday ... mostly phone is sitting in my pocket. No surfing, occasional call.
Then I blocked background data for:
1) Play Store (I am tired of useless updates anyway)
2) Medscape
3) MPR
4) EMAIL ( confirmed this does not affect Gmail notifications )
Then Removed Accounts:
1) All associated with Samsung
2) WeChat and program
So only Accounts for Dropbox, Google, Scribd and Whatsup are left
Nothing else changed
It's 10:00PM and I still have 60% battery ..... sometimes getting pissed helps as I have been putting up with this for a month.
Unfortunately I don't know which were the offenders.

Day5
Since I made these changes my battery life has been greater than 60% every single night no matter how much I use the phone. Maybe it was WeChat.....
Play Store Issues from the OP
My battery life bliss was cut short by issues with my gmail account and sync probably caused my "restrict background data" on the play store.
Previously restricting background data on Play Store and WeChat improved my battery life from 100%-0 in 8 hours to 100% to 90% in 8 hours
BUT
This seems to cause issues with gmail and Google sync. Neither would work and I had to uninstall and clear data for both to get them working again. It said the sync was "experiencing difficulties".
Uninstalling and reinstalling gmail and play seems to have fixed my battery issues .... even without background data restrictions.

Hello there,
I have a concern with my honor 7 (PLKL01B380) which his battery empties at high speed.
My system never comes in deep sleep. I lose almost 10% overnight. Since I disabled the update on the lock screen magazine, I've gained a little bit of autonomy.
What I do not understand is that the wifi reports that it is still active as I always cut the night. For information about the wifi, the relationship between the following two screen shots is strange. I do not know where to look for a solution. I did the update to the B380, I turn off wifi and sync during the night but still nothing. I have two sim cards, I know it consumes more but is that why consumption is continuous all night?
Thank you for your ideas.

Have u tried backup, factory reset and restore?
Hello,
Off course, i thinking about full reset but I don't like this idea because I don't want to lose time on reinstall my apps, organize in groups, reinstall all accounts and passwords .. etc.
I've searched in all parameters and I think i've found the two parameters causing trouble
1. As I say in first message, magazine unlock auto-update, set it to disabled
2. In localisation parameter / advanced parameters / Localisation Data / Extended menu (below) / Search parameters / Wifi Search, set it disabled -> this one make my wifi always on
Now, it looks better, phone going in standby, and wifi not always marked as activated in the graphical view of battery.
I'll see next night if it go to deep sleep :good:
Thanks
Well in my opinion it's better to waste a lot of time re-setting-up your phone than having a huge battery drain, but try a night more, it could be the solution you're on to:fingers-crossed:
I had battery drain problem too. I solved it just by switching off viber contact sync in viber general settings. It kept my phone awake with screen off, and my battery life was horrible. Let me know if it helps.

I think that only applies if u use viber
Just bought a new Stratos and i am unable to get any data on VO2 max
I have tried - Outdoor running, Indoor running(treadmill), Indoor walking (treadmill), Indoor Cycling, Ellipticals
I have done it for 7 days
I see the Training Load information - says Optimum
I also see Recovery Time
I want to see the following (these are advertised features of the watch).
1. VO2 max
2. Training Effect
3. Training Load - yes i see it
4. Recovery time advisor - yes i see it
5. Real time performance condition
6. Personalized training plans
7. Real time coaching
8. Calories burned - i see it
How do i get to these information on the watch or on the app?
Please help.
thanks
jim
Training effect is shown on each workout in watch and app.
VO2max is calculated only if you do an outdoor run for at least 20? minutes with at least 75%? of your maximum heart rate. VO2max will be only correct if you are training running.
For a short and long term fitness indicator check out your resting heart rate.
Hi! I have followed the instruction from the Stratos manual, took a running session for more than 20 mins with the HR above 75% of the maximum heart rate. I have used Polar H10 as external sensor, connected to the watch and I also had bluetooth headphones connected. GPS was on and recorded precisely the trajectory. Unfortunately VO2max still shows „no data”. Should enable Huami Lab or any other feature in order to compute and display VO2? Thanks!
same VO2 Max problem
Hi, I've had this problem for a month now. I have entered all correct personal data into App re Height, Weight, etc, set activity to Running and reached at least 75% heart rate for over 20 mins, ended activity and saved data - Watch itself states "no data" and the App shows an updated date for that activity's VO2 Max but constantly shows a reading of Zero. This was working fine since I've had the watch until now.. I did update the watch to version 2.3.9.0 around the time the issue started, so of course it's possible it is a software issue, but I've struggled to find many other reports of this issue nor any solutions..
Can anyone help?
Many thanks

Corrupted data, maybe? If you haven't done yet, unpair watch and pair again, if it doesn't fix your problem then do it again but do *not* restore old data to watch when pairing again (it will reset all data on watch). You then may want to turn off the device for about 15s to make sure sensors are also reset and enable continuous HR for at lest 24h and use the watch while you sleep, this will calculate your resting HR and improve futire HR readings.
the firmwere shows VO2 header but readings are missing, this could be possibily because of the fact that gadget does not have built in hardware to measure v02! u would need to buy higher variant to see that reading! quite an old marketing strategy.
