Chrome battery drain - Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers

I bought the P30 Pro some weeks ago and I am blown away by most aspects.
The battery is really good, but for a full load, I "only" get like 6hrs of SOT while other people report even 8-10hrs which I never even got close to.
On the battery screen, Chrome is always on top and runs in background. Because it is pre installed as a system app I cant configure battery optimization or even delete the app... Any solution or idea?

Battery Life experiences

Just curious on people's battery life experiences so far. This seems to be the main negative I hear about this device from reviews. I am most likely going to get the device nonetheless.
I don't feel like the battery life is that bad on this device.
I can get through a hole day very easily. I play some games (but not that much), I listen to a lot of music and I use Chrome very often.
Still I have about 40% at the end of the day.
For a device with a 1440*2560 5.7 inch screen and a Snapdragon 810 I reckon that it is pretty good.
I can only tell you to get this device it is awesome
Battery life for me is pretty terrible. The battery drain is significant even when the phone is in idle. I usually have access to a charger throughout the course of a day and I feel the need to keep it connected as often as possible. I still love the phone, but the battery life is the worst I have experienced with any phone I have had in the last couple of years, and I have used many. I leave it on balanced mode for the majority of the day and only switch to performance mode when I am going to play a graphic intensive game.

Yikes. Have you tried any software like Greenify to help alleviate the problem or it still persists ?

No, I haven't tried any apps or other battery profiles. Like I said, I keep it plugged in a lot during the day, so I have never felt the need to see how far I could stretch a single charge. This is also the way I have kept all of my previous phones and the Xiaomi drains the battery the fastest in comparison.
Mine lasts me about 12hours. I listen to music most of the day and I'm a heavy user.
Got the phone 2 days ago. got around 4 hours 15 minutes SOT from 7am till 9pm on the international rom. Better than i was expecting. Hopefully I can improve it further.
I have to admit that over time the battery got worse. That would be because I have more apps etc..
What is your SOT time usually?
I noticed today my battery SOT and idle drain has been really bad. The only thing I think I did diffrently was that I logged onto my miui account last night so i could download themes. I have no use for the miui account other htan the themes so I will try logging out and seeing how things are after it....
2-9% per hour is not bad i guess...
If i use it a lot, then only it will go as far as 11% per hour and mostly because the big QHD screen,
When it sleep, it almost didnt drain...
Of course you have to kill/disable all those stupid google play services... Named it Event Log and Checkin handoff etc etc

Huawei P9 Plus phone/battery issue?

Hi. I just got my P9 Plus last week. Seems to me people are having insane experiences with their batteries like almost 2 days of usage with quite a fair amount of SOT. However, I'm unable to even get past 1 day without charging my phone in the middle of the day some times. Even if i just use instagram, whatsapp and facebook or surf the net, it drops 10% in less than 45 minutes not sure if that's normal? I checked the consumption levels and something called Android system was the highest for some reason. I read online some reviews they tested the battery life by runnning a video for 90 minutes and they only dropped 13%. I lose 5% in less than 20 minutes. Again, Android system was the highest. I then tested it myself, I just played Summoner's war, watched youtube and dramas, then when my batter dropped from 100% to 40% I checked the consumption, though I expected the Screen and the Game to take up bulk of the usage, Android system claims top spot again for some reason. Is this normal or do I have a faulty phone/battery?
I feel sorry for what you are experiencing because such a battery loss is definitely not normal. I have P9Plus(dual SIM version L29) and I put it on charger every 2 days with SOT 7 to 8hours(over 8 hours is not uncommon). It's definitely the best mobile I've ever had - batterywise and otherwise too.
First thing I would do would be updating the firmware and clearing the cache and even reset to factory mode. Install just few basic apps u feel you can't live without and observe how is battery doing. In this way you can eliminate the fact that your batt drain is caused by some app conflict etc. You should disable wi-fi/bt scanning(it is useless anyway) and location services too. If you can, disable the autosync too. Later on you can enable it again and see if it changes anything.
If no improvement you can post the print-screen of your battery data here so we can take a look and maybe we can figure out something.
Last idea that comes to mind is that you were unlucky and have faulty battery - just look at Samsung's Note7 and what kind of headaches their own battery gave to them. Sometimes it just happens that battery may come faulty from manufacturing.

Battery life is worse after Android Pie (9):

Hello!
I've been experiencing worse battery life on my Nokia 8 since Pie upgrade, I haven't installed any apps nor services...
Note that the battery improved -but not as good as Oreo- after calibration using an app...
Are you experiencing the sane issue? Or should I further investigate?
Thank you..
yes
Same here. I got 12 hours screen on time once on oreo but now, it is a dream. Battery drains fastly due to background services. App restriction doesn't work as well as oreo's restriction. So, this situation causes battery draining. Also there is a weird thing i've faced, battery drains quickly from %100 to %95. I am waiting for Maintenance Release impatiently.
is battery life on oreo really that good?
I'm using pie since day 1 and never got more than 7h sot and 1.5 days.
My battery life is dire since pie, I was impressed with the battery in the 8 until this update, I cant even make a day without having to charge. When I say day I mean from 7am to 10pm as its left charging overnight.
Before pie I could quite happily last 2 days between charges, I'm not a heavy user, initially I thought I must be using the phone more. But I'm actually using it less just so it makes it to the end of the day!
Somehow it's worse again today, dead by 4:30!
Basically just checked phone to see the time, around 10 minutes of faffing in the morning, rebooted it before charging last night incase sonething was using battery. Madness!
For me, I've given my phone a factory reset before I installed the Beta labs/initial final(V5.110, December 2018-January 2019) build. Despite that, I did notice my battery life taking a hit when running this iteration of Pie. I was at most getting not more than 5 hours of SoT on average. And I do use my phone a lot throughout the day, the camera, web browsing, videos and social media. Meanwhile on Oreo, I can get 6 hours on average no problem. Sometimes even 7 hours if I'm lucky.
After updating to V5.140(February 2019) with Adaptive Battery brought in, I seem to have gotten back my average SoC just like when my phone was running Oreo. Running 5-6 hours on average. I'm not sure if Adaptive Battery has anything to do with this since I did notice the improvement immediately. I also disabled some of the Evenwell crap before updating to V5.140, so that may or may not have an effect.
If apps restricted didnt work then try manually restrict each app go to ur up hold it then info Then choose battery from there change background restriction
Ifaced this problem in beta when iwas sleep and wake up morning my battery was almost below 20 percent but i manually restrict all apps and its working 100 percent ?
Sorry to heat that. Have you tried installing some apps like better battery stats to see what exactly is saying up your battery? If your phone is rooted consider installing ForceDoze from f-droid and maybe WakeBlock to regulate some wakelocks that may be the cause of your terrible battery life. I have been able to get great battery life using the latest put version. See screenshot below from a few days ago.
I know that this is old thread but i have solution which i use with my nokia. change default launcher to another lightweight. This works and my battery feel better.
I should of updated, battery went back to normal after newer updates.
However, biggest thing for me, using DNS666 Ad blocker has seemingly doubled my battery life, might be a combination of just gotten bored of the phone or blocking all the ad's saves battery, or a bit of both, its also made the phone feel a lot more responsive overall, i'm using Squarehome as my launcher so maybe that was affecting the battery before?
Maybe which update can fix battery life? I rooted my phone and can't download latest update.

Samsung Galaxy Note8 SN-N950W Extreme battery draining Issue

Hey there, so recently I got a Note8 since my mom switched to a Galaxy Note20 Ultra and she gave me her old phone since I had a J3 before. She had it for 2 years and now when it was given to me I found some extreme battery draining issues, I watched MrWhoseTheBoss' video and in 1 hour the Note8 drained to 91% however in 1 hour MY Note8 drains to about 60%-40%. Also when I'm not using it the battery drops like I'm playing Asphalt 8. Any solution to this? I checked battery usage and nothing is out of the ordinary. The highest usage is Instagram at 2-hour drops 20% but I only use it at night and this battery problem is during the day. For most of the school, I keep it in my pocket and only use to listen to music. The battery still drops extremely fast. My friend has an S8 and his battery is much better than mine.
All I need to know is if this is a software issue, or a hardware issue as the battery sometimes runs out and I boot it up to 15% or something close to that.
If it's a software issue please help me down in the comments, I have turned off location, limited CPU speed to 70%, and disabled background usage.
Thanks.

It sounds to me that you need a battery replacement.

This is normal in my opinion. Even if the battery was only a year old, I'd say that is normal without proper power management.
My note8 is the same and the owners they had it before me, i don't know how much they played games with it, but how much i know about tech my note8 have never changed that battery and never was open back cower and the battery is still good up to two days average use, but i don't use apps like twitter, Facebook, Instagram or any social apps, only Viber that's all, the twitter, Facebook, or other thing i check on web-browser and that why battery should bee good.
The apps i mention up, i consider them partly spyware, battery-mongers, personal data movement mongers.
Btw, make a screenshot of your phone screen,\battery usage after the battery has drain to about 20% so we can see if we can have any conclusion to it, and pres this code (*#21*#) and call in keypad, make screenshot to see if someone is lurking on that phone on background.

As I'm using Oppo Find X3 Pro which is better than premium devices when compared, devices that have more Mah battery tend to fail in power management. But Find X3 pro has great battery life. Check the link for further information.

Thanks For sharing information.
Screen on time on average around 7h/day. For me it depends on the apps I'm using, battery is draining faster during filming/editing but still very stable / no quick jumps but equal to usage.
My normal usage with 5h SOT: Phone unplugged at 7.00 AM, around 15% left at 10 PM.

Hi. Im looking forward to purchase the X3 pro, but worried on the battery life, currently using k20 pro. May i know which model is your device, is it global or CN rom?

Global
24-30h, 4-5 SOT
Just you to know, I never charge this thing at night. 20 minutes during my breakfast and going on using it all day and next night (not disturb). 5-6h SOT also with gaming and video streaming. I am super satisfied with battery management and especially with charging times.
The battery life isn't quite on par with the P40 or P30 Pro I had previously, but it's totally fine, and definitely not a reason to avoid this phone. I would say around 80-90% as good battery life.
Imho better than the Samsung s10 I had, that was pretty average.
I do run my screen at 60hz but otherwise use all the normal features like Bluetooth connected to a watch all day, camera plenty, music streaming, navigation, WiFi hot-spot etc. Screen timeout is 1min.
Using coloros 12 basically since I got the phone so can't tell you what 11 was like in comparison.
I came to this phone from a long line of Sony flagships, this is FAR superior battery life and agreeing with others in that I feel it's the power management over MaH. I am off work at the mo with a broken back so the phone is getting hammered, main usage is camera (I have 4 young kids and use the camera an awful lot as well as viewing photo's and videos), then Chrome & messaging, watching movies, casting screen to TV. WiFi, BT, NFC, mobile data always on, brightness always 100% except when in bed. Since being off work I no longer charge overnight as it charges so quick, I just plug it in when making dinner or getting a shower. I very rarely have to top it up. Very happy with the battery life.

Can you share a list what did you remove with ADB - what is safe to remove. Thank you
I don't see any apk making significant drain on battery. You can check it yourself in battery stats.
What drains battery is screen on and network coverage and there is not much you can do there anyway.
People claiming that they improved battery usage after removing 50% of apps is just placebo.

Yeah it's just nonsense. You can even see they drain 0% before they are removed so pointless doing it
Battery drain issues over the last few days can be related to the storms we've been seeing.
Networks will be running a reduced power "safe mode" incase of power surges.
It may make your phone work a little bit harder to maintain a signal.
increíble. Sólo wifi.
Todo encendido excepto 5G
Segunda captura 4 horas en modo de espera y aun al 100 %
Solo parada micro G
I am moderate user, 5-6 hrs SOT with Youtube, Netflix, Messaging and Social Media apps and easily drops to 4-5 hrs SOT when I play power-hungry games. I find the battery usage is more or less the same with my previous phone, a Huawei Mate 20 Pro.
Considering Find X3 Pro has more powerful and power-hungry SD888, 120Hz screen, and a bump only 300mah more than my Huawei, I thought it's pretty good. The charging is way better than Huawei, faster and less heat. I usually charge my phone in the morning around 15 mins to 80% (I usually charge my phones to 80% unless I want to test for something.. and once or twice a month i full charged my phone to 100%)
