Mate 20 Pro - Strange Battery Problem - Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers

I have a problem with the battery of my mate 20 pro.
I had 9.1.0.358 on my phone.
Then, i have updated to android 10. (+ formatted phone). I waited for 2 weeks. But battery life was terrible.
So, i have returned back to 9.1. (+ formatted phone).
I have been waiting for 2 weeks.
But battery life is even much more worse now.
What should i do?
Should i go on with 9.1 , or update to adroid 10 again?
My only criteria is battery life.
Otherwise, there is no significant difference between 9.1 and 10 for me.
Please help me !
Thanks

The same thing happened to me so in the end I decided to go back to EMUI 10. Battery life is not horrible but it's not good either.

I really dont know what to do..

Give it some time maybe it's still optimizing itself.

Is it better to stay in 9.1 or go to android 10, for BAttery life.
Your opinion?

Go to Android 10, I've have heard version 10.0.0.182 has solved the battery problem.

Batterylive is on my phone terrible too, after Update to 10.154 .
Now im on 182 baut After 2 days the batterytime is terrible. I dont know what i can do. On the 9.1 the time was Perfect...

Which version of 9.1 was the best?

found i was missing notifications while gaming on 10.180 too

I am on 180 an my battery life is amazing as before. I have disabled the powergenie, I did that on version 9 already, abd I have always had very good battery since then.
I get around 10 hours SOT.
Maybe you should try to disable powergenie?

What do you mean with "Powergenie"?

You will lose the ability to see app battery usage. But you can use any 3rd party app to see that

Did you disable any other apps and services

And what Can I understand under this Powergenie and who can I find this?

Battery Drain......Try this out........

After trying too many fixes from various thread I am really unhappy about the battery drain issue of my SGS2.
Here is a fix which makes me happy at last. You all who facing this problem can try this. This works best when you are with custom roms. But stock also shows improvement.
1st you have to root your SGS2 and just freeze the below process with titanium(paid version) or root uninstaller(free version) apps from the market.
"software update"
Try this if your battery last then usual thank me.
You can also stop the service from application menu but its auto starts so.....try those apps.
Thank you.

Interesting mate,
Always worth a shot)
apparently you need to have root the phone to be able to do it with root uninstaller

Have just frozen, will report back in a couple of days.
Previous posts suggest the same reason seems to be that its always trying to connect .
jje
Yea...its the only service that always trying to connect to the Samsung server. I tested the whole process and mega battery drain in custom rom happens by this process. and also for stock you will see improvement if you freeze the process.

thanks....but 24 hours would be good and if you stopped the service from the application menu its auto starts. so freeze that.
I have just installed watchdog monitoring app,you can specify tho Samsung update app to be killed at a certain threshold by adding it to vlog blacklist the threshold for me is ok at 1% it never runs!
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
honestly, if you guys really feel the need for better battery life I would try pulser's VillainRom. I'm getting easily a 1 day 15 hours for normal usage out of my phone.
Is Software Update a Samsung service or Android's own updater? Wouldn't want to block Android's.
I've already frozen Wifi Sharing and most Samsung apps, and already seeing a 12 hour+ improvement of battery life.
Can someone confirm my first question, please? Thanks.

Yes! This is the only solution that works for me!
I've tried everything, and I always spend at least 10mA. Now I spend 1mA-2mA (with data or wifi on). In one day I'll publish the the battery graph.
I'm also using autostarts to prevent some processes run.

Hi there, how do you measure the power consumption of the phone?
deas not help me, still get 12h and that's it, with every ROM i had now. (lightnig , con, E7 stock..)

Yup, something like that. Before I used to get around 10-12 hours on moderate usage (from 100% to critical <5%), and now I can pretty much go for full 24 hours. This is on stock (rooted) XWKE7 rom with stock launcher, just by freezing all Samsung hubs and WiFi Sharing services. Also remember to be moderate about your widget and Live Wallpaper usage, as well as setting your screen to automatic or low brightness. I have removed most default widgets and have a no-frills LWP.
Samsung apps really eat through your battery.
Anyway, is Software Update Samsung's or Android's updater? Anyone know?

With Battery Monitor Widget Pro (free version). There is a graphic for mA.
I got down to 1mA, but occasionally get back to 20mA of comsumption and I have to kill tasks with task killer pro.

Could you please provide me with list of samsung apps that are taking battery and can be frozen? Thanks mate!
Thanks for the tip.
Did the trick for me. Easily 10-15 extra hours.
With the very same usage and brightness level as the SGS1, would the SGS2 have the same battery life or better?

EMUI 9.1.0.300 Battery Life......

Any one else's battery life got worse after 9.1.0.300 installation?
My usual 100% shows a life of 35/36 standby hours.....after the new EMUI loaded its dropped to 29 max....
Is it worth a full reload of the phone?
In my experience, after 2 days with Emui 9.1 battery life doesn't appear to be worse, but conversely slightly better.
Normal OTA update, no factory reset.
But these are only my pretty initial feelings, I'll see.
In Chinese Huawei official forum. Some said after every update. Emui will try to optimize system by the way of using. Like Helix Engine's machine learning function. During this process the battery dead quicker than normal. Whole process may take 1-2 days, and then it will go back to normal.
Yes machine learning became faster and more aggressive after the update, but after two days your battery life will stabilize.
Good battery life for me. After full charge : 71h estimated.
Actually I'm at 57%, 4h17 SOT, and remain 35h and 28 mn
My second day with 9.1. I find better battery life on 9.1
My battery also got affected by Emui 9.1, I checked in the battery setting & discover that it was Huawei data management service causing the drain!
What app is causing your drain?

Why say that, obviously it will be better with the faster file partition (EROFS ) which makes less work for the battery
Mines better now... Updated via dload (full wipe)...
Charged to 100% and currently im at 23hours, 14minutes with screen on time 5hours 53mins with 44% left this with lte 60/ wifi 40 and brightness Auto (but in germany its sunny as ****..)
For me same as before

I feel it seems to drain slightly more than before. EVR-L29.
It's more noticeable now compared to before update. Something to do with the GPU Turbo something?

I have updated before and the battery is now running out much faster.
I will wait 2 days, as I read in this forum, and then I will try to do a phone reset
hi all

battery drain miui 12

Hello everybody,
I have this beautiful phone since two days now and I'm running miui 12 on it. I love the look of it but I won't get more than 5 hours of sot. Aod switched off and 90hz on all the time. I came from Poco F1 where I easily did get round about 6 hours of sot. Anybody got the same problem and might be able to help me fix it? Thanks in advance
try to factory reset the phone
Okay you think it might help? The phone is completely new like I've said and I've even debloated it
i have the same issue with battery drain. Factory reset didnt help for me. The Wake line is constant blue with really short sleep times.
BBS said that google gms and xiaomi framework are the most battery using tools.
I will downgrade to miui 11 back until my bootloader is unlocked....
i use miui12 eu 20.6.18
an wen i have 5 houres sot i still have about 50%+ back
on miui 11 i had 6 hours sot and i had about 30% left. Now i have 2,5 hours sot and my battery has 5% left.
that really suck.
Same had 5+ hardcore sot on 11 now barely gets 3 on 12..
Miui12 is shat.
Whorse than miui 11

I also had this battery drain problem on MIUI 12, i tried to factory reset, wipe data into recovery but nothing worked. And i finally solved that problem by downloading the entire MIUI 12 package for my Mi10 Europe version on official xiaomi website and by updating the complete package with update menu of the phone.
Could you give us quick steps how to do that and which exact version did you use?

Redmi note 9s battery app suddenly updated and it's messing usage status

Hey guys
Since I bought the device the battery usage was accurate and was working fine, until suddenly like a week ago the app seems to have updated because it looks different now when you go into battery settings and also usage status is weird and messed up. I think that it's getting reset every 24 hours instead of every time I charge because when I check SOT it's always very low compared to my usage
anyone facing the same issue? anyway I can change it back to how it was before?
You are correct, only last 24h are shown, so stats are pretty useless... I already reported this bug.
The sad thing is that they say they don't have time to fix bugs as they are working on MIUI12, but they add more bugs to the working things...

People who got MIUI 12 are already complaining of bad battery life. We don't want the MIUI 12 update, we just want our battery app back as usual. if it aint broken dont fix it.
I just regret buying xiaomi man.
I agree.
You said that people with MIUI12 have issues about battery life, to think evil with this bug it's harder to get correct and comparable data about battery life...
I have created a feature request thread on Xiaomi's community forum this issue (it should be a bug instead...), please vote here https://c.mi.com/thread-3285998-1-0.html

Crazy Xiaomi, how to ruin an App in one quick change, I don't think it is likely they will revert back to the battery app that was actually quite good anytime soon, so as requested by 7mada has anybody found a way to revert back to the previous App?
Go into apps , locate security, uninstall updates at bottom and battery goes back to old version

When I did the security update it also changed the battery app so I guess yes, on uninstalling the security update the battery app reverted back, security still seems to work as per normal

Question What do you think about MIUI 13 battery life?

Just upgraded to newest MIUI 13. I factory reset my device for the new OS update. I'm in doubt if battery is better or worse.
What is your experience?
Mine is 30% better
I have not noticed any difference after upgrading to MIUI 13, it seems to be the same.
Everything is better on miui 13 except dark mode for individual apps (not working). You?

Haven't really seen any big battery improvements, except that it's true, it lasts a LITTLE bit longer.
I'm using a mi 11 ultra and since i updated it to MIUI 13 battery life went from average to terrible. I now barely reach 5h of SOT... I reset the phone and tried many things but nothing worked. I wish I had stayed under MIUI 12.5

I'm sure by flashing the MIUI 12.5 rom that you can find on xiaomi's website or with xiaomi.eu ROMs, you should be able to rehave that battery life. But, you should also install betterbatterystats, to see which process use that much battery. 5h of SOT is pretty low.
I don't want to go to through the hassle of downgrading.. I shouldn't have to do that to have the battery life i used to have... Xiaomi doesn't know how to handle updates properly. Thank you though
I found ultra battery saver mode to be very bad. It used to have 350 hours and now it's 55 hours. Rest all seems to be okay.

From the first few days of testing, I'd say it's worse, and quite noticeable. I get around 4 SoT, usually it was around 5-6 with 90hz... I did a fresh install on a factory reseted phone Tho it might be the fact that neither the miui backup nor Google backup saved any of my settings, so might be few weeks till I get my phone into it's operating window...
But then again, phone seems a lot faster to me, and cold as ice.
When will MIUI 13 come for Xiaomi 11 Lite NE 5G? Any Idea?
I got OTA notif ten days ago (but I don't want to update,)
You can find another thread and posts (search, read thread titles for 5g ne) where other users already received and updated
After all, if you don't receive in your country (who knows Xiaomi policies about updating), you can find the MIUI 13 firmware on Xiaomi Firmware Updater site, and by googling instructions how to install manually

No, I just did a classic OTA update.
At 80% (I usually don't go more than that on a regular day), I got a battery estimation around 20 hours.
most of the time, SOT 4 hours, facebook, whatsapp, messenger, twitter
