I had a problem with play service's draining my battery. Wiped and flashed like 3 times, cleared up.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] ularkusut:
i tried reinstall the google play service and everything back to normal
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] RoccoN4:
Just got my replacement in. Was having terrible battery life so Google sent me a replacement. I have what may be a silly question. Does anyone do a factory reset on their device before actually setting it up?

I have turned it on and am letting it do its latest update. Is it a good idea to do a factory reset afterwards?

I normally do this on new phones. Just wondering if I am doing this for no reason.

Let's hope this device has better battery life.

All I can say is after installing Greenify, my battery life has been worlds better. I hibernated most apps except for a few social media apps, and enabled aggressive doze, and standby life is a world better.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] RoccoN4:
Are you rooted?
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] geoff5093:
Yes, stock rooted

Pixel

6hr 30min SOT over the past month. Tracked by accubattery pro.

I guess this is a 100% to 0% scenario.

Stock, bootloader unlocked. Not rooted.

Google Settings reporting 4h 35 min SOT with 40% battery left.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] fedecape:
how do I set doze to aggressive? Do I need root for that?
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] AB__CD:
Download Greenify
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] PsiPhiDan:
I installed aggressive doze from greenify and promptly missed 4 texts. And I don't mean no notification - I literally never got them. People told me later that they sent them and I never had them. Has this ever happened to anyone else? I mean, maybe it wasn't greenify, but it seemed to coincide so I uninstalled it. I was getting amazing battery life with it though! I miss it!
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] geoff5093:
What app do you use for texts? I have aggressive doze and have messenger hibernated and never miss texts
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] PsiPhiDan:
Weird! I use Textra, which is well-known and has always been reliable for me. Maybe I should try again. I really liked the battery life I experienced during down time at work. I just don't understand how I missed 4 texts from 4 people on 1 day...
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] RoccoN4:
So I am on my 2nd Pixel. Did an RMA on my first device as the battery was terrible. Went through Google Support and they sent me a new one no issues. I have to say that this replacement one is no better. I am running bare minimum. Stock Launcher. Dark wallpaper. No Facebook/Messenger crap. The phone sleeps as it should but again I can literally see the battery percentage dropping as I am using the phone. And once I get to 40% or so it starts to get worse. I am at 38%right now. 8 hours off the charger. Says 5 hours left (which I won't get) Almost all green Cellular Network Signal. No Wifi. 2 hours 26 min screen on time. Maybe 10 min calls today. I don't care about screen on times and I get it has "fast charge" but geeze you think we can get a day on the minimal use I use out of this thing. Is this normal? I am coming from 5.5" phones with larger batteries.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] UK_Wildcats_Fans:
Have you tried using greenify?

---------- Post added at 08:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:07 AM ----------

Same results for me with stock rooted.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] bik2101:
does greenify require root?
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] RoccoN4:
Yes. I am not rooted so is there any point in using Greenify?

One thing I have noticed with this months update. I would normally be around 55-60% by this time of the day. Right now I am at 70% and have not changed the way I have been using my phone.

Does not seem to be draining as fast when the screen is on like previous.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] djnush:
Hi guys. Think I'm having a similar problem. Phone goes really hot and the battery goes into a nose dive. The phone becomes really buggy as well. Screen won't turn on, fingerprint won't unlock it and clicking around everything is really jittery. It's as though it's doing something really arduous and so it doesn't have the resources to do normal stuff. When I check the stats, the phone is being kept awake and the GPS is on. The culprits are always a mixture (or all of) Android OS, Play Services or Android System.

I had my old pixel swapped out because of this issue so it doesn't seem to be hardware. But I've tried a factory reset as well and started from scratch so it's hard to imagine what else it could be.

Updated it to 7.1.2 but I'm not expecting a fix. The most frustrating thing is that it happens like once every 2-3 days and a soft reset fixes it. It's pretty unreasonable to do without third party apps for that long and even if I do, it doesn't tell me what app is causing the problem (if it is an app). Anyone else worked out a fix?

Those that are getting 6+ hrs screen on time with the regular Pixel, how are you doing it? I can do everything I want to my Pixel and I will get ~4 hrs max. I set up Auto Sync to turn on for 8 minutes every hour to sync email, etc. No push notifications from apps. Checking with GSAM, everything seems in line for usage. There isn't a setting or series of things that I feel like I can change that will get me 50% more screen on time.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] alluringreality:
I can now get over 6 hours of screen-on time after a number of changes, but out of the box I didn't find the battery life very impressive compared to my previous Android phone or the iPhone 7. When adaptive brightness is on my brightness is around 55%, and when adaptive brightness is off it's maybe around 15%, so I probably use a lower than average screen brightness. I'd say a good portion of my battery savings is from using Tasker to automatically adjust settings. It took a lot of changes before my phone started to feel somewhat comparable to the battery life I got with the iPhone 7. Now when the phone comes off the charger it reports around 10-16 days of standby, which is relatively similar to how my previous Android phone was setup.

SETTINGS:

Say "OK Google" any time - off

Your feed - off

Auto-sync - off

NFC - off

Backup & reset - off

Data saver - on

Location - Device only

Wi-Fi and Bluetooth scanning - off

Google activity controls - all off or paused

Google Assistant - off

Launcher - Nova Launcher, which seems to avoid the location polling from Pixel Launcher

Greenify installed with root

TASKER:

Automatically switch adaptive brightness on or off depending on measured light when screen turns on

Turn off LTE radio when screen has been off for 5 minutes (my phone service doesn't have VoLTE)

Turn off wifi when not in use

Turn off bluetooth when not in use

Auto-sync on home Wi-Fi

Profile for event assistance request - task to run shell: am start -a android.intent.action.VOICE_ASSIST (sending the Voice Assist intent also works instead of shell)
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] PsiPhiDan:
PureNexus + Franco kernel. I use Tasker to manage data on/off but even if I'm not using that (weekends), I get phenomenal times. Recently my 4-year old got up super early and I was sick so I gave him my phone and opened YouTube. Literally FOUR HOURS later I woke up and he was still watching. So 4 hours of YouTube and I still got another couple of hours of a screen time that day (I think my phone was around 50% when I woke up after his 4 hours). I've never gotten anything like this with any other phone. It's outstanding. Not sure why you are not seeing this though! I don't do much at all to tweak for battery.

location high accuracy but location history , wifi and Bluetooth scanning disabled.

It seems good LTE network in my area plays a huge role in good battery life.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] tvdang7:
I am having this problem too!
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] djnush:
A couple of things that have worked pretty well for me was installing Greenify and deleting Outlook. My work email had all these admin settings and I was concerned it was having an impact. Purely speculating though.

It has only happened once since I did that and that was directly after the latest security patch (earlier this month) and hasn't happened since. No idea if that was the cause though.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] tvdang7:
I don't have my phone rooted so I can't greenify but I do have outlook for personal use and AirWatch for work use. I'll try to remove outlook AirWatch I can not for obvious reasons .

I have been getting pretty good battery life on Wi-Fi, but then for a few hours I had to go on LTE and my battery started draining pretty quickly. If you take a look at the attached images, the Android System just started consuming battery life really quickly. Anyone know what's going on here? I put the phone in airplane mode a few times because I noticed what was going on, and the phone was getting warm in my pocket as well. I'm running PureNexus with EX Kernel and L Speed to optimize battery life thru CPU governor mods.

Really nice battery life! I game a lot (Dawn of Titans) and I am looking for every way possible to get better battery life. I am stock rooted with FK. I am not real sure what settings to adjust to try and get better battery life. I am not an expert on what the settings even mean so I do not want to mess up my phone. I try to take tips like yours and then apply them to see what happens.

I want to try Pure Nexus ROM but it i snot updated to 7.1.2 yet so I am holding out until it does.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] tvdang7:
Mine has gone to **** since maybe january updates. Ive lost an hour of screen time and this is with a factory reset so it has to be the updates.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] CiHKAl:
Doubt it. Probably apps you have installed, how you're using the phone, screen brightness, service strength, wifi usage, location services, or really just a combination of many things. People love to gravitate towards blaming an update without​ any good evidence, and always defend this claim to the grave.

I have an up to date completely stock Pixel with no apps installed to assist with battery life or performance. A couple of days ago I got 6h 7m of SoT with an estimated 980mAh used.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] past_pluto:

This is the life after upgrading to Android O DP4

I charged the phone at 10pm and battery went 0 during the night.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] Alaadragonfire:
There must be something kept your phone awake at night, I have my phone on DP4 and don't face battery drain at night , maximum 1% is dropped during 6 hours of sleep. Check your apps, if not, try flashing the factory image again , clean flashing and see if the helps.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] stemilano:
There are a couple of apps that Android O reports as background consumer. However, I had the same apps before upgrade. It might be an app implementation not fully compatible with Android O.

I give a try, then I will revert back to Android 7.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] Alaadragonfire:
It might be compatibility issues as you said, however I was on DP3 and when the update came I just flashed it clean and not above the DP3 to avoid issues that happened to me in the past. Give it a try :)
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] stemilano:
I tried DP3, but have to revert back to NOugat as some important apps for my job (like the one for OTP) or banking apps weren't working. Of course, reverting back cleaned the phone.

I move to DP4 two days ago from Nougat, without a clean installation. Even now it is complaining that my banking app and whatsapp are running in background consuming power.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] Alaadragonfire:
I remember when I upgraded from nougat to O I had bugs, then flashed DP3 clean and it was gone, it is just showing you apps that are always running in the background, like a power optimization notification etc.. it will be useful when you install an app and it is always running in the back so you can know what is draining your battery down, instead of searching for it in the battery settings.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] piperx:
Really ?

Your doing a dirty install from nougat to "o" and expecting things to just "work"

I would of at least done a clean install to see if you have the same problems before posting.

I just don't get it
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] ne0ns4l4m4nder:

[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] stemilano:
Ok, doing a factory reset is enough so? It's the only way I know for making a clean install.

[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I think I get reasonable battery life on my pixel;

6hrs of SOT (playing youtube videos, mostly at 1080p 60fps)... maybe a bit more (we'll see after my next full charge, as I've changed some stuff in my kernel).

if not watching HD videos, but more general use (like browser, texting, XYZ app), I'm getting around 7hrs+ of SOT...

my battery doesn't drain at all during sleep. LTE is always on, WiFi, location, nfc, Bluetooth, etc, are only on while in use... I do use GMS Doze magisk module, but no other apps like greenify. Instead, I only let apps run in the background that actually need to...

I don't use the stock kernel, instead I use my own fork of ElementalX that includes all of the latest EAS / Schedutil / Dynamic Stune Boost code, plus other bells and whistles.

I suspect when I get a power hal built that properly supports EAS, I will see greater power savings... but so far, it seems to require having AOSP sources to build, which I'm not interested in having around.

[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] LBN1:
FYI, for those on Oreo 8.1 latest update stock I've found that Location History Reporting for this device caused a ton of wakelocks, which led to bad standby time and drop of about 2% per hour when doing nothing (this is with all the usual battery saving tweaks, wifi and BT scanning off, etc.). By turning Location History Reporting to OFF, I am finally getting a decent rate around 1% every hour plus when in standby and a much better deep sleep percentage. I still have location on High Accuracy, and Maps and Waze still work as intended.

Hello,

Curios, i buy this device in eBay. Thema Pixel has an Marlin factory Image installed. Yesterday i flashed the Sailfish image, root it and got an nice Batterylifetime.

In 8 hours used 23 %

Gesendet von meinem Pixel mit Tapatalk
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] qijaz221:
Mine is similar, 2% per hour drop on standby, BetterBatteryStats shows that it never enters deep sleep mode. Wifi/BT scanning is off, Locating History Reporting is off, Ambient Display is off and I'm on latest 8.1 (Completely stock). Already did a factory reset with no difference so I'm thinking about flashing factory image to see if that makes any difference.

Any other ideas?

PS. had it in safe mode for ~5 hours, no difference at all.

If you have Android Device Manager / Find my Device, try uninstalling it as it seems to try to sync location frequently.

Also using ADB, you can make Wifi turn off when sleeping, an option that used to be selectable from the Wifi menus. I am also using a Wifi Automatic app that turns off wi-fi when not near my wi-fi hotspots.

[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] km8j:
Just curious. Do those of you that are getting great battery have Google backup to drive turned on?

It's the only thing I can think of that could be under Android OS or system chewing through battery
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] drock212:
Mine is turned on but it only syncs over WiFi. I also don't take a lot of pictures or videos so it's not constantly backing up. Other than the initial backup of over 6k pictures and videos that took about a day it's pretty much just sitting there. Perhaps clearing cache and doing a hard reset from recovering may fix the Android OS issues. I know that's been a fix in the past with Samsung devices.
