Guys I just got this phone through the Nexus 6p RMA I got a pixel xl 32gb and I just wanted to share something positive. Today using the phone for the first full day I got 7 hours of screen on time with 7 percent battery remaining. I'm shocked I've never seen better battery life or even close from any other phone. Nexus 6p in the beginning managed 5 hours sot sometimes but it degraded fast and pretty much got 4 or less for my 2 years with it so 7 hours is such a blessing. I love this phone.

I'll attach some pics I took before but didn't end up taking a picture at 7% but you can extrapolate from the photos.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] hokiealumnus:
Yes, but remember as a general rule it's a lot better when on wifi. It isn't as good on cellular only. Just a fact of life. I can get six+ hours SOT on wifi but only about five off it.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Jooosty:
Good to hear...I did the same RMA.

Loving this phone. I can't believe it went under the radar.

I was using an iPhone 7 Plus...but can't see myself going back...that one might be for sale soon lol.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] galaxys:
Ditto! RMA nexus6p for Pixel XL and it's battery and smoothness is awesome! ??
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Born<ICs:
My 6P was so awful on battery I had chargers everywhere plus carried a big portable power pack.

With my new XL I have to remember Not to plug it in. Night/Day.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] succumbtothegreater:
I am also a newer adapter of this phone and I've had it about 2 weeks. This is my battery life from 2 days ago with heavy YouTube usage. Rooted Oreo, no custom kernel, just greenify on a few apps. So much better than my Note 5, which topped out at 2hrs 50 minutes. Not to mention, this phone is way smoother and flies in terms of apps opening, really impressed with this phone.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Jooosty:
Awesome.

Just found out that Facebook Messenger destroys battery life on Android..
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] speedingcheetah:
Yes. The Pixel XL is by far the best battery life phone I have had in a long time (the previous champ was my the Samsung Fascinate 3G from years ago.)

On 7.1.2...freaking amazing battery life. Then I got the 8.0 update and that had lower battery life. Less screen on time. Many users reported this. Buddy of mine also had noticed the same thing.

The Sept 8.0 update then came out and now its back to the awesome battery life it had before.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Zwitterion:
As an aside. Where can I get a good tutorial on how to set up Greenify's treatment of the various apps on my phone? By itself, it's not immediately obvious what I should be doing to the various apps.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] speedingcheetah:
Why would u even want to use Greenify and such apps now?...O is far superior to previous versions with its Doze mode and app suspend processes..
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] liam_davenport:
Battery life is average at best, Still to beat my Nexus 6 or S7 Edge on MM here im getting a day or less standby with a meh 5hr sot
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Zwitterion:
I didn't realize Oreo is so superior. In fact, I get worse battery life than I did on Nougat.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] speedingcheetah:
It was worse ...the first 8.0 update. The latest updates fixed that for me and buddy of mine. I read there was an issue with Google play services app older version eating battery. that updated with the last ota and its been great. I have very few apps on my phone though. i do know that FB and especially FB messenger...and probably many other apps are not quite optimized for Oreo yet and will eat battery in the background and its not shown in the battery stats. U can go into the system app settings now and disable certain apps to run in the background like FB. u wont get notifications for that app but i don't care, i manually check those apps fine.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Born<ICs:
Battery pretty good. Several times I tried going 24hrs starting at 100%. Essentially get 10hrs screen time over 24hrs with 10% to 15% remaining.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] zee24:
You're doing something wrong then my guy. I'm here consistently getting 6 to 6.5hrs sot WhatsApp 3 Gmail accounts lots of YouTube and Reddit And other browsing the web
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Pain-N-Panic:
Lol anything beats my Nexus 6p with a 2.5 hour sot if I was lucky!
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bobby janow:
Forget the 6p. We had amazing battery life before this update. Then sot dropped like a rock. Screen off.. amazing. After O screen on time was half. Literally half. Same synching, same everything. Half sot! How else can I say it?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Golf c:
SOT sucks. I have it back up to 6.25 hours, but it's still not up to Nougat standards. It's either the increased performance sucking CPU or the screen itself is using more. I don't buy the updated apps for Oreo theory.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mac796:
I also agree Oreo has horrible battery life not close no nougat. I have tried every kernel i could get my hands on.

I wonder if they did this crap on purpose so people would buy the pixel 2
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bobby janow:
Some have said it was Play services but others say no. Some have said it's the display driver on O. Either way I hope they come out with a fix if this is not some dastardly scheme. Very disappointing. I never had to charge my phone during the day and now I do. I was going to buy a 2 but now I'm on hold with that until this is fixed.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mac796:
Maybe they're partially right about it being the Play Services because now I get force close every time I try to buy an app Play Store. Doesn't matter if I'm rooted with magisk or suhide or unrooted. And I'm not the only one there's other people with the same problem
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Golf c:
I don't know what happened today but this is unusual for Oreo for me. It's very Nougat like. My theory is I flashed the factory image so much it finally settled. Lol! IDK what's happening. Running Sharkey R2 fios io scheduler. Wakelocks blocked and a couple of other things.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Pain-N-Panic:
Looks like great battery life to me. What method did you use to identify and block wakelocks?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Golf c:
Ekm kernel manager and Sharkey R2 kernel. Its in the kernel. Yeah, I have never seen battery life like that since Nougat. I also turned off mobile data always active in dev settings, the automatic wifi thingy, and turned off background activity on some apps that seemed out of control. I did this awhile ago though. I really don't know what's happening with battery. I also joined beta for play services and Google app. Today was a exceptional battery day
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] BLEK0TA:
My batt life is on Oreo too poor. Im waiting on some update...
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Raistlin1:
Battery life on Oreo is terrible now, have to charge before I leave work and sometimes it will need another quick charge around 9pm. On N it could go all day and all night to before bed and not have to charge it. Nothing different in usage and apps, all the same. I have not done a factory reset yet because I want to see when we will get the yet to be announced 8.1, don't feel like doing two factory resets.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] BLEK0TA:
It's shame for Google and his Dev team. If this situation happens on the iPhone, Apple should have to do patch after few days..

And this is the reason why Google never be so good as Apple.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] richii0207:
Shame for what? A larger percentage of people have longer battery life on Oreo than Nougat. Have you tried a fresh install?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Golf c:
And where is your evidence. Most of what I see is people experiencing considerably less SOT and better Standby times. There is an occasional MOMO that posts a screen shot with 10 hour SOT without posting the Screenshot that shows how much they charged the phone.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] TonikJDK:
Exactly what I am experiencing. About 2 hours less SOT, no change in apps or usage. Wipe didn't help. This used to be the best phone for battery I have ever had.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Golf c:
You and the majority of what I see with occasional posts of great battery life with 4 hours SOT. Haha! For some reason mine is coming back. I don't know how though. I made some adjustments a few weeks ago and yesterday was great. We will see what October brings.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] richii0207:
Where is my evidence? Where's the evidence for the opposite claim? Google claims to have improved battery life in Oreo. I'll take the phones manufacturer word over it. I've experienced better battery life but my experience doesn't mean everyone is going to have the same experience.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Golf c:
My evidence is anecdotal based on what I'm seeing in posts by people that know what their doing far more than the average user. Google can't even fix Bluetooth bugs and you just take their word for gospel. I would say Google is half right. Standby time is better. SOT sucks worse than Nougat, based on what I'm seeing in posts by people that "know what their doing."
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bobby janow:
I'm not sure how Google did it but they did. They have reduced the battery life by more than half with a single update called Oreo. And they did it on purpose imho. This cannot be an accident, it's too dramatic. I have to carry my charger now and that was never an issue. It's so disappointing.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] tracerit:
Battery life is okay on this phone. I was expecting something far better reading other people's reports. I'm getting about 1-1.5 hr more SOT compared to my Nexus 6P after replacing the battery on the 6P. So in total about 5-5.5 hr SOT.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] richii0207:
That's strange, on two of my phones on Oreo (XL and 6P), I can now go two days without a charge instead of charging it nightly. You may want to factory reset since it's not an incremental update, but rather an entire OS update. I've had issues that have been introduced with OS updates that were removed when I factory reset the device. I've experienced this kind of issues with my Windows, iOS, Linux, and iOS devices.

From a marketing standpoint, you don't sell your next product by worsening your current product to try and get users to get the new one. For example, if manufacturers did that with their cars by making it break down after 3-4 years, nobody would want to buy it again or even try it.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] BLEK0TA:
Oreo I have only 3 hrs SOT.. Shame shame shame.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] richii0207:
Whoa, that's terrible!
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] BLEK0TA:
Yes it's. Everything stock no root no unlocked bootloader etc. Just pure Google stock pixel XL.. With factory reset but same results..
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] thedarkpassenger:
Yesterday I hit 7.75 hrs SOT and still had 18% left! (I was home sick from work)

Oreo, stock kernel, nothing fancy.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] BLEK0TA:
Fairy tales
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] richii0207:
Sounds about normal with particular usage.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] BluPhant:
I got my Marlin from Asurion (VZW Insurance) after cracking the screen on my Angler. They had none of the 6p in stock so they gave me (after some back and forth) a pixel XL as a replacement. They wanted to give me the 32 gig until I reminded them that my 6p was 64gig. They argued with me, saying that the IMEI matched up to 32 gig. They gave up and sent me a 128gig Marlin.

First one they sent me had a messed up screen; digital static, would pause sometimes (under pressure?).

Replaced it with another. I am really annoyed with the battery life, it's worse than with my 6p, and that's saying something. I'm waiting a few days to get through and document, but as an example today it's been on for 6 hours, 1 hour 8 minutes of SOT, and down to 58% battery (estimating 8 hours remaining).

I'm not doing anything crazy with it; I have a fitbit and an android watch so bluetooth is on. I used it today for about an hour with a wired headset to listen to an audiobook. Also, this is a bootloader-locked VZW edition (which I'm kinda annoyed about).

I'm planning on RMA'ing this one and will see if they'll send me a NEW pixel XL instead of a refurb. The condition that my first replacement was in makes me question if they even look @ the phones before they send them out; this was a massive miss on their part.

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] narwhalman:
Hello everyone,

I would like to ask if updating my android 5.1 to 7.1.2 would brick my phone, because I can't install any of the roms since my device(aicp_s3_h560) doesn't match any of the required devices(s3_h560, JY-s3_ADV.....).I know it's possible to change device name or simply modify updater script, repack everything and somehow sign it.

Also. which 7.1.2 rom would you guys recommend? I'm considering lineage

I'm using CWM v6.0.5.1 recovery

EDIT: So i modified script file and just installed madOS. Everything works fine, to restore imei number the only tool that worked was toolhero

How to fix it...
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] strongst:
Please search the RR thread for "volte" and "turbo". In general: turbo charging depends mostly on temperature (find repeated explanations on RR thread) and volte depends on carrier etc. Since both topics answered weekly in RR thread its good you search there for detailed explanation :) but it's not a problem of the rom.

[Honor 9  Guides, News, & Discussion] z4nD4R@gs2:
Hello Everyone,

I'm fresh owner (bouth a week ago) of Honor 9 and I'm very happy with the choise I've made. The phone is incredible fast (comparing from my previous Galaxy S6) and EMUI is well optimised. But, ehm let's complain a bit . I'm courious what kind of feature you're missing on your Honor 9 phone/EMUI. For me the complaining list would look like:

- Missing ability to control notification light - different freq. and color for different apps

- Gesture for home button - there would be nice if "scroll up/down" would trigger to enroll notification arean

- Dim clock as screensaver while charging (very usefull as I'm charging my phone while sleeping, and so could be use as night clock)

- Knock Knock feature on locked phone - to see notification when phone is on the table (I know there is notification LED for it)

Ok that's my complaining list. If you have any idea to overcome such a limitation feel free to suggest. Also don't hesitate to complain a bit as well :P

z4nD4R

Y
[Honor 9  Guides, News, & Discussion] iceepyon:
I don't think there is a way to over come your complaints without rooting your device. Even rooting your device won't allow you to use the features you want on the home button.
[Honor 9  Guides, News, & Discussion] z4nD4R@gs2:
Hi iceepyon,

yes I believe you're right, there the missing feature about home button won't be most probably overcome without ROOTing the device and use custome KERNEL. To by honest with you I'd rather to not use the feature as some application I'm using won't run on ROOTed phones (based on official statements).

Hovewer I believe some of missing feature could be added by some app?Any recommendation?

z4nD4R

Y
[Honor 9  Guides, News, & Discussion] pijes:
- most phones nowadays don't have notification light. Probably because the phone spend most of its time in our hands

- I agree with this one. The fingerprint scanner supports swiping gesture

- honor 9 uses ips lcd screen, even if its dimmed, the whole screen still light up. This will heavily drain the battery

- you can use wave on proximity sensor app to turn the screen on
[Honor 9  Guides, News, & Discussion] z4nD4R@gs2:
[MENTION=2593808]pijes[/MENTION],

1. Maybe most of the phones doesn't have notification LED (wouldn't be so sure about this one), but Honor 9 does, so ability to control it would be usefull :)

2. Yeah would be nice, but dunno if if is possible withou kernel upgrading

3. Yes, could be battery dainer, but I'm speaking about situation when the phone is charging actually

4. Can you explain a bit deeper the statement, about to using "waze on proximity sensor app"?

Thx

Y
[Honor 9  Guides, News, & Discussion] pijes:
3. Charging and discharging simultaneously can be harmful to the battery health

4. There are a few apps out there that try to simulate the wake screen using gestures and usually they implement it by making use of the proximity sensor. AcDisplay, WaveUp and Glance Plus are among them
[Honor 9  Guides, News, & Discussion] iceepyon:
Well, there is honestly nothing much which can be done if you want to add the knock on wake feature. Same can be said of the notification LED as those are built into the device's official stock OS. The only thing you can do is install a 3rd party OS and hope that it has some of the features you want. However be warned that most if not all 3rd party OSes do not have the best post image processing software so your pictures won't turn out as good as if you have taken them using the stock OS that came with your device.
[Honor 9  Guides, News, & Discussion] z4nD4R@gs2:
[MENTION=8517709]iceepyon[/MENTION], yes I can imagine that most 3rd party OS won't have such a camera software optimalization. Btw, I've read some post about how to enable 3rd party clock as screensaver. I can't understand why Honor/Huawei disabled this feature, which is present in stcok android.

Y
[Honor 9  Guides, News, & Discussion] iceepyon:
Probably due to security issues. As Huawei has been focusing quite allot on making and keeping their devices secure.
[Honor 9  Guides, News, & Discussion] z4nD4R@gs2:
[MENTION=8517709]iceepyon[/MENTION], I really don't know how "clock" screensaver would expose the security more than "image slideshow" screensaver :)

Y
[Honor 9  Guides, News, & Discussion] iceepyon:
If you are using a 3rd party widget. There is a possibility that the widget may have certain permissions that could cause a issue.
[Honor 9  Guides, News, & Discussion] z4nD4R@gs2:
[MENTION=8517709]iceepyon[/MENTION], I believe that's problem with all 3rd party applications ;) Its matter of trust in Google Play. I found this tutorial to set custom screensaver on Huawei devices: https://www.xda-developers.com/how-...ver-on-huawei-and-honor-devices-running-emui/

What do you think, would it work for Honor 9?

Y
[Honor 9  Guides, News, & Discussion] iceepyon:
Ummmm. Probably. Personally I wouldn't as you could easily mess up the settings on your device.
[Honor 9  Guides, News, & Discussion] z4nD4R@gs2:
That's right, but with 90% of advices/topic here on `xda` you can easily mess up your device settings, isn't that true? :) Anyway thank you for your opinion.

Is there anybody esle whou'd like to complain a bit? :)

Y
[Honor 9  Guides, News, & Discussion] iceepyon:
That is certainly true of rooting or installing custom OSes onto your mobile device. As there are so many things which can go wrong. However current versions of android are now at a point where unless you need to have your device rooted for work purposes. There really isn't a point for the average user to do so.

any suggestions for best quality headphones under 1500 INR?

Also, any idea how to buy ebony wood case ? cost?
[OnePlus 3T Accessories] seabro01:
For that price range I'd go with MEElectronics M6. There's some good lists on Reddit and Head-fi for best budget earbuds.

The OnePlus ebony wood case can be hard to find and will probably cost quite a bit more than original price. I was able to get the Karbon case from eBay. Also saw Karbon and rosewood on Amazon and eBay.
[OnePlus 3T Accessories] xuser_:
as per my re-search MEElectronics M6 aint that good :?
[OnePlus 3T Accessories] seabro01:
Some of their products aren't very good but the M6 are good for the price (~$15). There's also the KZ ATE IEM which are probably less known but great for the price. The audiophile level IEM and headphones won't be found in budget category.

Folks will have a lot of random advice. For one thing, everyone has different tastes. And to be honest, some folks just like what they bought, simply because they don't know any better (didn't have other headphones to compare, etc.).

Here is some advice, from a panel (group) of testers, which objectively compared a bunch of "budget" headphones, and came up with some good recommendations:

I can say that Bullet v2 isn't worth, the sound quality it only 'can be heard' class... Xiaomi one is much better, it doesn't mean that Xiaomi is good.

I recommend some more expensive, because you can get the high quality, but not just some trash quality...

If budget is limited, highly recommend ZST earphone.
