So the recent update seems to have fixed things. I updated the whole software again (via erecovery), installed all my apps and used the phone regularly and the battery life seems to be back to its former glory. Decided not to RMA the phone.

Yeah, I don't see any solution arising, it could be a firmware/hardware issue which is out of our scope to fix. I have contacted Huawei Support and they agreed to replace/fix the phone (I have read on other forums that they have a huge stock for USA that seems doomed to be sold ever since...

So what I have noticed is that the drain is way worse on wifi than on mobile data. Regardless in both cases, the drain is shown under 'phone radio' but its 4-5% per hour on wifi and 1-2% on mobile data.

The reason I mention taking out sim is to effectively turn off the mobile radio. Far better test that just disabling one app.

Like I have mentioned the drain happens even if I take out the sim and repeated testing has shown that its a drain on the wifi or phone network. I seem to think its some process using those networks it's just being reported on gsam as wifi/phone radio drain. It's not identifying the process.

I did, it seemed to have no effect.

So after all the resets the breakdown of stats still show phone radio as the maximum on idle. but the idle drain is down to about 1% per hour, which I suppose I could learn to live with. I have been running it only on mobile data, going to apply wifi next and test today. I do remember when I...

The phones bootloader is locked so I cannot install any custom ROMs, but I did do the recovery and reinstall the software update (not the add-on files, the entire 4.5gb update). Unfortunately, I don't know of a way to go back to an older version so I installed the latest version which I already...

yeah, I did try swapping GSM/CDMA/LTE networks. but the thing is that phone radio isn't really the drain, it's just showing it over there. The drain happens when I remove the sim too as I have shown above.

Yeah, I was already aware of those things. They are just a few tips to 'increase' battery life they aren't going to fix a drain. My battery life was insanely good it still is, everything is good apart from this drain. I used to get 1 hour of SOT for every 10% used, now it's the same but I have...

I can't access that menu but I have checked the sensors using a different app and they all seem to be responding.

yeah tried the batter saving mode. no effect. The phone was working brilliantly until a couple of months ago. I don't see how it can have any hardware problems.

Fresh factory reset. No default apps updated. Only GSAM installed. Again same issue: The wakelock detail : The ram usage as asked for: This might be something worth looking into, which I have just noticed The phone was just kept on the table but still, I can see significant motion sensor...

ok, so I have factory reset my phone again. Logged into only 1 google account and haven't updated any default apps yet. Will report back with the results soon.

I have performance mode battery saving mode ultra batter saving mode none are selected, so I assume im in the optimized mode equivalent.
