Today I have just over 4 hours with 44% left, no custom kernel, all stock
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] htusa:
Same problem. I have a smartwatch with bluetooth on. I have had it on since day 1. Never a drain issue. Now I barely get 3 hours of SOT and I am not very happy.

Verizon locked 8.0
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] bmassy01:
Probably going to trade up for a XL 2 from Google now.. Lol. Can't stand not being rooted, especially with this poor battery life and not being able to do anything about it..
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] istrikerx:
This is pathetic.

SoT is the worst measurement ever created.

You're literally showing that your phone can not die from being used for 4 hours straight right after being fully charged.

My OP5 can go 20 hours with the screen on if I just leave it on after a full charge. Means nothing.

Fact is, the Pixel XL never had this miraculously good battery life like everyone stated. It was always average. The key point here is that people were happy with the performance and 60fps so didn't want anyone to know about the flaws of the super special pixel sauce.

I sold mine simply because it couldn't last for more than 8 hours without needing to be charged. It drained around 6% an hour from Bluetooth streaming along for that 8 hours, and less than 2 hours SoT with low manual brightness.

But yeah it's fine if you sit at home in a dark room on WiFi.

The display alone drains 10% every 30 mins as a best case scenario.

[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] TotoBerto02:
WOW!!!! That is so awesome how can you get these SoT?
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] richii0207:
Airplane mode, brightness on lowest, and doing something not CPU intensively like reading a book in night mode to minimize LED usage.

You both have the same phone with the same battery size. The only difference is usage which can vary greatly. There's no magic apk or script that would increase battery by a substantial amount without cutting functionality. If there was, OEMs would have implemented it already to give it an edge over it's competitors in the battery life department.

Different owners of the same car may have one netting 40 MPG while the other is getting 25MPG.

6-8 hrs sot in 14-18 hrs of usage

4-5 hrs sot in 1 and half day usage

Almost 7h of SOT in 1d 11h with moderate use.

I used to get over 8h easily when the phone was new.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] ithehappy:
This with latest 8.1 release? How the heck you get that much backup is beyond me! I can't cross 4 hours SoT since 8.1 release! Adaptive brightness is disabled even as it was crazy. Device is 8 months old, running stock kernel and ROM. On 8.0 though I used to get 60+ minutes or more SoT.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] Elixir_:
Yes it's running non-rooted 8.1 but like I said it was moderate use with no gaming at all, just Web browsing, playing music, Youtube streaming, some social media apps and Play Store updates.

[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] varunit:
Got a new PIxel 2 XL device and I'm getting like ~3.5 hrs of SOT. I'm not a heavy user. Tweaking some settings since then.

1. Disabled location services for unnecessary apps

2. Turn off bluetooth and mobile data when unnecessary.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] Sweetie:
Which is the best kernel (for oreo) for getting better battery life?

I've used Franco Kernel on Nexus 5 and I got really awesome results.

But I can't find franco builds for pixel xl (oreo).
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] Phalanx7621:
I'm assuming this is for Oreo as well as the latest beers of Android P? I installed the beta yesterday and this is my first full day of active use.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] Carball0:
I get an average of 5 hours of screen on time, using apps like Twitter, XDA, Whatsapp, some Youtube and about 1 hour of "gaming".

Today, having used 1h 10min of games, 30min recording video with the camera and several hours in other apps (YouTube, Twitter, Spotify, Chrome, etc), I've gotten 5h 5min of SoT (there's 15% left yet :) )
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] Carball0:
Now I'm getting 6h 30min of SoT having played an hour and a half of games!!

Amazing coming from a Nexus 5X which SoT time was roughly 3 hours
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] Yousvel:
I am impressed! 1 Day and 2 hours with over 6 hours of SOT. Lot of phone calls...

[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] Yousvel:
Make sure you factory reset after updating from 8.1 to 9. I have very good battery life with just 2% lost overnight.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] xNotta:
Can anyone speak to SOT time from something like a Pokemon Go Community Day

Three 3 hours straight of screen on with Heavy CPU, GPS, network transfer, and Bluetooth usage in very warm hands and direct sunlight. I notice that most players require a power bank to make it though.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] ditoevan:
What kernel do you use on RR Oreo?
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] NEOSPEED:
Is this SOT normal?

Charged my Pixel XL to 100% at 11 P.M was on 3% today at 2 P.M with following SOT. Got 5hr 50 min SOT as per the SS. Is this normal? On Android P right now. :confused:
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] sulaimanz:
I am really pleased with my phone after P update, From 100% to 1% - getting close to 8 hours of SOT in 47 hours. Not sure why people are complaining, getting really good battery life after the update. Got a refurbished replacement phone from google, guessing it has a brand new battery.

Posting the current stats as of today
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] wazza1991:
What apps do you use and is that all on wifi?
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] sulaimanz:

Right now I am 90% with 30 minutes sot, so thats on track for 4 hours total sot. I'll post a battery life screen time when I get down to 10% or so.

this is with a custom pie rom and auto brightness. wifi
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] kinfolk248:

granted i would almost 5 hours sot with oreo, I am completely floored by how poor pie is at times...

should i try a kernel?

[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] kinfolk248:
New version of Android shouldn't be this bad on battery, Google is slacking smh lol
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] snappycg1996:
Same, XL on October security for Pie. I get about 3.5 hours max if I unplug it and use the phone normally, usually it's 2.5-3 though with some mixed clash of clans/Royale. Accubattery reporting 72 percent health based on about 70 charge sessions.

I'm not sure how some get these high screen on times lol. BetterBatteryStats shows nothing plus my phone is pretty much stock from setup.

It's not bad. The phone charges very fast so that's a plus.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] SaberJ2X:
I think I should clarify a bit, with stock 9, I got 3.5h tops... if I streamed pandora, screen off, it would drop to 2h or less.

with LOS 8.1 I can do 5.5h social-media-heavy-mixed usage
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] LeMoise:
I'm getting 5 and a half hours of SoT using the Liquid Remix ROM.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] ithehappy:
There is no way Oreo had any worse battery backup than this ****e load thing called Pie. In fact it was much better*. Has anyone reverted to Oreo from Pie and started getting back good battery backup again? I would gladly go back anyway, but those camera features like Night Sight is not making me.

*Getting like 4-4.5 hours SoT on average, and that's without any gaming. On Oreo withe same usage SoT was at least 45-60 mins more FFS!
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] Gabryele1976:
How many hours unplugged?
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] LeMoise:
Uhh...that is unplugged? What would be the point in claiming SoT if the phone was plugged in the whole time? If I charge my phone to 100% and unplug it, I can get up to 5 +/- hours of SoT without plugging it in again. Of course that depends on what apps I'm using, playing games nets me much less SoT.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] Gabryele1976:
5 hours SOT in 12 hours unplugged Is a bad result for example

5 hours SOT in 36 hours unplugged Is a very good result

This Is what i mean
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] LeMoise:
Ohh my apologies for misunderstanding what you meant and replying with a bit of attitude. My best case scenario was 5 hours SoT with around 20 hours unplugged total. That is with battery saver enabled at 20% ish battery left.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] francesko94:
So I'm not the only one seeing this... I recently got a refurbished pixel XL and update it straight away to Android 9, made a factory reset, and I was shocked by how fast the battery drops, and the phone gets very warm. I just wake up, used some Facebook, wrote this post and I'm already at 87%. I have the battery saver always on, I will eventually make an other factory reset since many updates happend in the background, and I will disable what I can but I doubt that it will solve anything. 86% now
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] t4d44:
I've already made reports to Google about this and even had my phone replaced for a refurbished one, and I'm only having about 3.5 hrs SOT on light use with low brightness.

In fact, I took mine off the charger, used it for 2 minutes and was already down 2%
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] francesko94:
I think that something is not working properly with Google services
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] francesko94:

[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] Junior117:
the battery is improving with Francisco Franco kernel

In the last weeks I have installed several kernels but the battery performance is still really bad, I am in the francisco franco kernel (FrancoKernel) so far it has given me good battery performance, it should be mentioned that I always have the dark interface, I deactivate the data when I do not need them, and I have few apps installed, the deep sleep of this kernel is incredible reaching only 0.2% in 8 hours of sleep I am testing but the statistics I have point to 6 hours of screen, attached screenshots

How much of screen of time do pixel xl with android 10 and last patch?
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] dove_g:
Here is my conclusion for Google Pixel XL and latest updates (Android 10).

After upgrade from Android 9 > Android 10 I noticed that my battery doesn't last long, before SOT was around 3-3,5 hours, now is 2-2,5 hours.

According to AccuBattery, my battery health is around 63-65% (2/3 capacity of original capacity).

Anyway, if I leaved my phone overnight in 6-8 hours it has discharged for amazing 30..35%, that was insane. So, if you don't use your phone it will be discharged from 100% to 0% in only 24 hours.

I disabled everything possible and all I think it isn't important; background restrict and background data restrict for some battery hungry apps. Results are now slightly better. Around 20-25% discharge overnight. In my opinion this is still not normal. Old iPhone 6s (from 2015) overnight discharge only for 1-3%.

Here are my GSamBatteryStats. I reset all settings in this app when was mobile put in Screen Off. No matter if my phone is on 100% when I go to sleep or at 50%, it will discharge for about 20-25%.

On current screenshots phone was at 55%, over night to the morning it was only on 28% (that was -27% in 7hrs, cca 4% per hour, 4%*24h >>> 96%, I loose whole battery if I don't use my phone at all).

Hi everyone.

Is it normal standby drain for 5 hours 14% AlwaysOnDisplay Off, 20% AOD on?

Android Pie. Pixel XL.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] Yousvel:
That's not normal. Normal should be around 2% lost.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] onesolo:
Since I'm on Pie (beta and stable), the drain, with or without, Wifi On and Mobile On, it's been very high!!!
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] onesolo:
well, I have to correct my statement. If I turn off wifi and mobile data, standby drain is stellar!!! During the night, I can get no more than 3%

Can't say the high drain that I have if using the phone... something that got a lot worse after a year (when I got the phone)
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] Hendrik25:
When my pixel xl is in standby for 3 hours, my battery drains arround 15 -17%, and my phone always shows Charging Connected Device via USB notification like it is charging another device, even when isnt connected to charger.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] mcampbell:
I'm getting between 1.5% and 2% per hour drain while idle at night doing nothing, since Pie. OS doesn't report any errant apps. Greenify isn't griping.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] Help The Peace:
It almost uses no battery in standby! It's like magic. In one night it may lose 1% if you leave it on.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] sudoxd:
although i get about 2 and a half hour screen on time, i get virtually no standby drain whatsoever (latest stock pie). went to bed last night at 39%, *10 hour sleep*, woke up at 38%. what i dont seem to get very often is notfications while i am sleeping until i use my phone again in the morning, something to do with adaptive battery or doze?
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] SaberJ2X:
are you guys leaving the phone connected to a Wifi?

do you guys disable LTE/Data connection while on wifi on Dev Options?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] losimagic:
I'm currently using a trial version of PP and on one tab I've included the HTC Home plugin that came on the phone (T-Mobile Vario III).

However, when using the multi-directional pad on the phone to navigate the interface, the button in the middle of it (to select) doesn't work on the HTC Home plugin - it works on the SPB GPRS Monitor (that is on the same tab) but not on HTC Home. To select anything on the HTC Home plugin I have to physically touch the object on the display, annoying when it's in a case and I have to open it up.

Is this a bug or is something just not set up right?

Thanks for any help.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] johanromijn:
At this moment I do not have the HTC Home plugin installed, but I think I know what's the problem.

Open your registry, and navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\TODAY\ITEMS\

Now go to HTC Home, and check the value of the SELECTABILITY key.

Cause I don't have it installed at the moment, I'm not sure what value it should be, but I think you have to change it from 1 to 2.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] losimagic:
Thanks, sadly it's already set to 2 :(

edit: just set it to 1 to see if that was any better - it wasn't
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kimtyson:
I had all kinds of bugs with the SPB products on my Tilt. I really like them but they seem to conflict with the HTC home plugins. I took everything off of my phone except Time.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] TCooper4653:
I'm running PP and solved this issue by moving the bits I need directly onto a PP tab.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] losimagic:
Assuming I'm understanding what you're saying correctly, that's how I already have it set up :(

HTC Home is one of the ticked plug-ins for the tab
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] keedog:
Try This

greg3d posted this in another thread and it worked for me:

"This may be the same issue that causes the HTC Home plugin from not being able to be used in a tab initially because it's locked (unmoveable in the Today screen ordering).

The Solution there is to change the registy as such:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\HTC Home

Type=4

I suggest you browse to the same Registry directory (HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\) and look for the Egress plugin and change the "Type" Dword value to 4, it's probably set to 5 (locked) by default. In the unlikely event the key is not there, try adding it.

I don't use Egress, so cannot check this out for you."
