I can’t for the figure out how to get more than 3 hours of SOT. My battery is at a 100% health according to accubattery, and it was just replaced a few weeks ago so the battery is for sure good.
Whenever I check accubattery, it’ll give me a claim of how a full charge should give me 9 hours of SOT, but 3 hours later my battery is at 20% or lower. I add up the usage per app and it doesn’t add up.
I’ve got adaptive battery, adaptive connectivity, and adaptive charging turned on. I’m only using LTE since my carrier doesn’t do 5G either way. I’m usually at 50%-80% unless I’m out in the sun. I’ve tried resetting the learned behavior for adaptive battery as well, but that hasn’t changed anything.
It’s not even like my units defective because the one I bought first had a defective fingerprint sensor and had the same battery life.
Give me your secrets people, I just want my phone to last me the day.
Get another phone unfortunately. There’s nothing you can do to get a decent battery life on a Pixel phone, sadly.
Accubattery SOT estimates are highly inaccurate, don’t let them raise your standards to much
Does the camera still work as well as on the factory image? I’ve been debating playing around with graphene for like a week now but that’s my biggest hangup. Don’t want to wipe my phone just to have to put it all back to factory.
What’s with the downvotes? You can install the same Google Camera app and just revoke a lot of the unnecessary privileges.
And I definitely agree with the user above. Battery life is definitely incredible with that OS.
Probably a stupid question to people that use the OS. 🤷♂️ Or they all have a bunch of free time and enjoy spending it re setting up their phone lol. One last question. Will I lose googles call screening? Idk if I could leave that again 😂 left it for a bit when I went to an S21 but couldn’t handle all the spam calls 😂
Easy assuming you’re on the latest update, June and onward fixed my battery issues for me personally. Standard base model Pixel 7 here.
Place all apps that don’t need to notify you RIGHT AWAY into restricted power mode!
Settings > Battery > Battery Usage > click on each app that doesn’t need to give you instant notifications and make sure to change the ones you can from optimized to restricted.
If you’re using Revanced YouTube like I do personally, MAKE SURE to disable MicroG (the app used to authenticate Google login services), it WILL run in the background and drain battery, YouTube itself is fine to leave as you use it. (Optimized is how I have mine)
I’m not sure if this applies to the Pixel 7, but with the 6a disabling 5G (setting preferred network to LTE) helps appreciably with battery life.
