Mate 10 Pro 7:00 Hours SOT

Decided to test my Mate 10 Pro SOT
After more than 22 Hours off the charger (including a 9 hour sleep) from 100% down to 13% left, I managed to get exactly 7 hours SOT while doing the following (so it is estimated that if I run the phone down to 0% charge, It will last 24 Hours and probably reach 7:15-7:30 SOT):

Brightness 35%
Wifi- Cellular Data on
3 mail accounts syncing
Hour of Waze with Location on and max brightness
Hour of gaming (Asphalt 8)
Youtube 2 hours
Browsing chrome, Facebook, Instagram
Few Phone calls
Music Player & Soundcloud streaming via BT to Car/Headphones
Taking some pictures with camera and viewing them in gallery
Much more stuff I cannot remember

Hi Avi
How did you get 9+ hours ? Is it Mate 10 or Pro ?

Made a new record the other day. This was under really optimal conditions (constant strong cell reception, Wi-Fi was on most of the time), but I always reach 8 hours regardless. I'm using a standard Mate 10.

That's impressive! I'm not a heavy user so I charge my phone every two days. Last charge I was at 7hr SOT after a day and 15 hours. The battery on this phone is just fantastic.

What apps do you have running in the background? WhatsApp, Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, Twitter etc?

I am really confused how SOT is an indication of good or bad battery. I can get a 8-9h SOT if I use my phone all day with light use (using the photo gallery as material for my work) or have only 2h SOT in the weekend because I d'ont use it at all and it shuts down 40h after charge.

One thing I noticed is that even after some calibration (doing 100->5% and full charge several time in a row) the phone show 100% for a very long time even when using it, and it's really slow to reach 90%. Then it's quicker with a 2%/hour until 15% then the fall is really quick. It's really observable when I do not use it at all. I'll try to do a screenshot next time.

that's normal. OEMs tend to do it to prevent users to charge it to often when it just lost some percents, charging is not so healthy when the battery is full or almost full, same as emtying it completely.

Ok, so, give them false information rather than knowledge... it's like a highway to idiocracy.

Here are a screen for a light usage (I forgot to screen the app usage, somewhat like 39% idle, 15% screen,10% other, 35% app). See the selected hour (it's the same for the rest of the graph), no app usage, but stil something like -2%/hour (calculated with the period from 50% to 11%) with screen off the most part on the time. Is it ok given the wifi, bluetooth always on, some background app like weatherbug and outlook, or you guys have something really better and I should try a factory reset?

Hi, I resolved my battery drain mainly by cutting off the google service in background. Even if it actually works in background...
Well, with a proper management of the app authorizations, I get something like that:



Without taking care of saving battery, so, all connectivity on except for NFC I never use.
Pretty good battery life!

I have something like 9h OST when I do not play game and just read comics over the day ?

Dear fellow Mate 10 user, what do you mean by "proper management of the app authorizations"??? Could you explain more and even describe what you did?

Thanks!

Hello nostromo76, I was talking about the app launch option in the battery settings. Only my mailbox and some messenger app are in full auto, for other, I selected if they can work in background or not, but I usually set OFF the automatic launch.
The goigle services were a huge drain.

My SOT

I got 5:54 of SOT and got left 24 percent of battery which I consider a pretty good, because of heavily usage (Instagram, Messenger, Viber, WhatsApp mostly and then browsing web, camera, calls, downloading apps from Play Store). Considering all of that after my first day with Mate 10 Pro (coming from Iphone 7) I am very very satisfied with this phone. Brightness is not full, a little bit over half.

:cyclops:

You've obviously recharged multiple times or just left it on a black screen. Really misleading.

 

[suarez92]

After few days of use, I really love this device. I got 4:30 SOT with 50 percent of battery left. All of that got improved after update, Im on C432 BLA L09, Im not sure but i think this is March security update.

to have a good standby time you should not be connected to a WIFI network at all I have found, which sounds stupid I know.
For example at home connected to a 2.4GHz network drains more battery on standby then on a 5GHz network. So I have decided to not use WIFI at all and to block all the background traffic on the 4G network and I just let the apps that I want to use the network, in my case i let only whatsapp.
settings --> wireless and networks --> mobile data --> Data saver.
