Screen on time (SOT) ?

Or standby time?

p20 pro user here... middle east set.
just updated to 9.1 minutes ago.
got more free space: used 59.48GB vs 54.42GB on 9.1
yet to explore other things, though. not sure about this EROFS thing.

I'm on 311 version. Now got notification for 325 update: Aug security patch and perf +stability optimization.

Anyone got try?

Phone downloaded the update once I connwcted to wifi. Now already using 325.

So far can't see/feel any difference, though. Tried to search the net but it seems there's no review or comment on it yet. (worried a bit)

Seems standby time battery consumption has gone up a bit...

Well, I got it last night. That screen shot was just last night. P20 Pro, FYI ...

No, I'm afraid mine is a middle east set. Currently working in Qatar.

I also just received notification for new update, also 4GB plus. But comes with october security patch, not september.

Well... Looks like middle east set is a bit ahead. Mine is 351 with october security.

Will install over night, when I get my home wifi.

Yes, but middle east set. Bought in Qatar last year.

Really don't understand why security update would take 4 Gigs. Didn't have any other noticeable highlights, too. Only indicated correction on bug that keep on downloading the same update over and over even if the phone has already been updated. Certainly doesn't need 4 gigs in my book.

My Mi A2 Lite got the November's security update and it was around 88mb only.

Mine dates back to 2017.

Although I have to say, there hasn't been much activity in terms of actual phone calls. I'm receiving calls on WhatsApp, Duo, and other apps.

Also (maybe it makes a difference) mine is middle east set on 9.1.0.361 software update.

How's the battery life?

I have a Mi A2 lite that got updated to android 10 only a couple of days ago. Its battery life became much worse... From charging once in every 2-3 days (I only use it for waze, mainly) down to a little over 1 day. The standby power draw is the issue, I think.

It used to be that phone will outlast this p20p of mine (which is my main phone), but no more.

got the notification this morning. any issues so far?

how's the battery life?

my other phone is Mi A2 Lite. it got its Android 10 update recently and gave me battery drain issue. They fixed it now, though.... but it got me worried a bit about this EMUI10-Android10 update.

For comparison, my A2 Lite is a "lightly" used phone, which used to go at least 3 days before needing a charge. My p20 pro is my main phone, normally requires a charge by the 48th hour... sometime if I just stay home and use the wifi, this stretches to 3 days also. SOT around 5 hrs minimum to over 7 hrs (obviously this is when I stay home only using wifi and even having airplane mode turned on occasionally).

However, after the Android10 update, my A2 Lite wouldn't last ONE day - not even 24 hours. That despite the lightly use scenario. Though, I'd stress again, it is now fixed and can go three to four days before needing a charge.

Dang... Just what I was afraid of.

Can you be more specific? What was your SOT before and after? Or total usage (with ur usage pattern) before needing a charge.

I'm currently on a 2-3 days (sometimes 4) charge cycle, becoz just staying at home 90% of the time on wifi. If still working, avrg <2 days becoz mostly using mobile data.

What do you mean? I'm on EMUI9 and the aperture thing still works.

I see... I admit, I very rarely use portrait mode as I normally take pics of non human stuff. I use only Aperture for that. And it's too late for me to check now, obviously.

Just updated mine a few minutes ago. Fast/super charging no longer working. Anyone encounter the same issue?

Tried both original P20p charger & cable and also my USB-C laptop charger. Just a couple of days ago these two can charge quickly with no issue.

Now it's been on the charger for the last (almost) 30 minutes, and it only got 15% increase... dang!!!

Will try.

Now it's already charged (though it's down to 86%) and unless I stream on my phone (not using my laptop or ipad), it will be another 2 days before I need to charge again.

Well, mine's still working good. It detects just nicely on my laptop (using custom usbC to usbC cable).

Kind of suspect it's a software thing, coz you know... Just updated to EMUI10/Android10 today only and suddenly got this charging issue.

Update...
I think something is going on on the software size. I vigorously used my phone last night, put on the hotspot, bluetooth and GPS to make it consume more power.
By morning, the charge was down to 37% and I put it on the charger (ori p20p charger that came in the box with the cable). Now it's done roughly 50% after around 30+ minutes, which is (so) much better than yesterday,
So maybe there is some kind of a "learning curve" implemented by the system.
Let's see how it fares in the next charge.

Thanks. I already did that yesterday when I saw that it charged only 15% in 30 minutes or so.

Still have it turned off now. The only difference, is now I have the app AccuBattery installed (as someone else suggested). It may have something to do with the improvement, but I can't be sure.

Just for clarity, I installed the app after charging the phone for 2 hrs or so, yesterday. Used it a bit and install the app. Tried the charger, saw it was indeed feeding only around 2A, but I thought that it was because my phone was still relatively fully charged.

When I tried this morning, at 30 odd percent battery charge, the feed was a little over 4A (probably margin of error thing, I think it's actually 4A exact).

Counting all the time I plugged and tried various chargers (including my Lenovo Yoga720 charger, which normally gives a quick charge), this morning's charge was the seventh plug in. Not sure what to make of that.
