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.
Setting the lowest brightness setting you are comfortable with in the adaptive brightness setting. Do this for indoors and outdoors. You may have to set it a couple of times for each, but the phone will eventually remember. Also, turn off Bluetooth if you don’t use it.
Pixel 7 or Pixel 7 Pro? I keep seeing people talking about their Pixel 7 and they mean the Pro version.
I would start uninstalling typical battery hog apps, like any social media apps you got, for a day or two and see if batttery life improves.
In general remove apps one by one, see what makes a difference. Or go extreme with a factory reset just in case.
Not a recommendation, but personally I am planning to switch to GrapheneOS once I repair my broken USB-C port on my P7Pro.
I’ve heard it isolates many apps, preventing them from draining battery.
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.
