The only change you'll see is that the app battery usage stats won't be available.

Do you mean this software section which I see here?

That's right. If it's uninstalled properly the software usage shouldn't show anything after rebooting. It will likely just say 0% or <0.2% (that's what mine showed)

Thanks man.. I am pretty noob when it comes to the adb stuff... could you please guide me what do I have to do...I have MacBook.. or do I need Windows for this?
I'm only getting 4 hr SOT with no heavy usage as such... I'm disappointed... Even idle drain is so much that I'm fed up.. I'm on LYA-L29 if that's helpful.
I've never used ADB on Mac but follow the guide here to install.
I'm assuming the command to uninstall is the same:
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.huawei.powegenie

Thanks man :good: Done! Now this should be it ..As you said it shows 0.3% software in that section...now I should monitor the SOT... Right?
Yeah, and you could install something like GSAM Battery Monitor if you want to keep an eye on apps to make sure there isn't a rogue one running in the background.
If you only get 4hrs SOT then that is not caused by powergenie. You most likely have a rogue app that keeps waking up your cpu. I suggest you first check the per app battery usage or use an app to see if you have an app that causes many wakelocks
If you have Facebook installed that's a killer, I went to battery / app launch set Facebook to manual and turned launch on start / secondary launch / run in background off

I've noticed a huge drain overnight but couldn't pinpoint as to what.
I removed powergenie from my mate 9 and mate 20 pro, in span of 8 hours, mate 9 lost 2% and mine 10%.
The night before, the mate 20 lost 2% only, nothing changed, i think there is an issue with Android Pie as of wide and maybe huawei implementation, need to check further.

Could it be that this has to do with the non linear battery consumption? Like when at 100% the battery "drains slower" than on 50%?
On lower percentage it does, like 10% and lower, but i tested it twice on 44%.
One time it drained 2% the other 10%, and on my mate 9 it drain 2%.
I noticed many have issues with Android Pie and media apps consuming too much battery, I'm investigating that.
Guys, could anyone with a german Mate 20 pro pull the powergenie apk from a german phone and ping it over?
I have decompiled the phone and seen a whitelist of apps that should not get kicked. Maybe there is an intent we can use to add custom apps, which would eliminate the need to have the PowerGenie removed. But no guarantee

I lost 3 % in 4 hour tonight where the other night I was still on 100% after 5 hour. Weird.
Tomorrow I'm going to clear all apps then reboot and see what I lose. I'm pretty sure something is running. Maybe auto sync or notifications.

I have updated the front page with all the information I have. Unfortunately the APP I published does not work as Android seems to prohibit running those commands (with an actual action involved) from a non-system app. You have to use the ADB commands specified.
Phone stays quite a lot of 100% before it goes down, so that's not good indication.
Drain your battery to 80-40% and then see how the idle time is.

Excellent, i've been monitoring apps more regularly since it's gone, media apps tend to eat more juice so i need to watch out, tinder especially
