Can anyone tell me SOT of my Pixel 2 XL has decreased alot. Previously I was getting 7.45 to 8.23 hrs of SOT npw things has changed alot.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Real Life Review] EeZeEpEe:
That's not bad at all. I got a lot of battery degradation on my end with my Pixel 2 XL which will be 2 year old October 26. Can't wait for my Pixel 4 XL in about a week, maybe less.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Real Life Review] Le_Combattant:
Your battery is dead bro.

I bought mine last year but it was build in December 2017
[Google Pixel 2 XL Real Life Review] EeZeEpEe:
I know, hence why I'm getting a new Pixel 4 XL. To be honest though, your numbers aren't typical though. I never got 2 days estimated time off the charger and I've probably only seen a handful or less of people get that on the regular. I got a little over a day estimate I think but that was the most.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Real Life Review] Vclong2003:
Is it ok ???
[Google Pixel 2 XL Real Life Review] Sui77:
I'm between 6-8h SOT, depends on screen brightness
[Google Pixel 2 XL Real Life Review] Le_Combattant:
It's really good.

It's what I'm doing after 1 year.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Real Life Review] 100rabh7791:
Guys! I'm gonna go on a trip tomorrow so just want to give you all a heads up. My pixel 2xl is about just over year old and I'll see how the battery holds up. The day will begin early about 4am. I'll be using almost all usual apps. If you guys want to know anything or anything you want me to test let me know.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Real Life Review] Le_Combattant:
Could you share us your SOT at the end? It could be cool
[Google Pixel 2 XL Real Life Review] 100rabh7791:
Yes I'll do! I'll give you all the details i can think of including network n WiFi usage.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Real Life Review] 100rabh7791:

I did a Factory Reset after 6 monthsz without
[Google Pixel 2 XL Real Life Review] jimv1983:
The Facebook app isn't a big battery drain at all. If it is for you then something is wrong. Maybe clear app cache or uninstall and reinstall. Using the web based version of Facebook uses a lot more battery.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Real Life Review] shinigami777:
And I think it's my time for bad battery life. ? I used to get 6-7,5h sot but lately my sot is 5h top if I'm lucky. I have no idea what happened. Accubattery always shows 8-11%/h with screen on on WiFi now I get 12-15%/h and on LTE it's much worse 18-20%/h. ? I will try factory reset but it's too much trouble to set up everything again.

I forgot to add there is no battery drain while phone sleep.

Edit.

I think I have found the culprit.. App called WiFi switcher caused excessive battery consumption.

HI

i have 4-5 hr Sot and its very bad i know.

i dont know what can i do

i bye used pixel 2 xl

accubattery sad i have 75 % battery health and its really or this program is very stupid?

here is a screenshots.

why google is 16hr and messenger 8 hr?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Real Life Review] EeZeEpEe:
4-5 isn't very bad. It's just okay. As for the 16 hours for Google, is that always what you get? You got 17 hours off the charger and only at 65% so overall is very good.

S.O.T

I had started to look for an alternative to my 2xl due to the terrible battery life, but started to use Havoc OS a week ago, and the battery life and stability has been surprising me everyday.

Been getting over 4 hours a day of S.O.T which I haven't seen in maybe over a year. Also I've been going over 24 hours without charging my phone .
[Google Pixel 2 XL Real Life Review] 100rabh7791:
The march update has improved the battery by quite a bit. You seem rooted though
[Google Pixel 2 XL Real Life Review] Le_Combattant:
Yes battery life was quite good.

But April seems to be way worse.

I'm considering to buy a new battery. My phone is 2.5 years old and I can feel the battery dealer.

I can't on Ixifix because of my location : France.

On ebay there is planty of original battery for Pixel 2 XL.

What could you be your tips ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Real Life Review] kmry:
before that i would suggest you tu use AccuBattery for a week, to know how much wear your battery have, after that proceed, i bought mine used about 1.5 years before and was manufactured in october 2017, and it has 89% of the original 100% capacity.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Real Life Review] Le_Combattant:
According to accubattery, the health is about 78%.

I found 2 batteries's seller on Ebay:

The first one sell a 2019 manufactured battery : https://www.ebay.fr/itm/Original-OE...rentrq:9d3ccdbe1710aa4852f5a305ffd78110|iid:1

I send it an email to have other photos and to check if it's a fake or not.

And the second one sell a 2018 manufactured batteries: https://www.ebay.fr/itm/LG-Batterie...rentrq:9d3ccdbe1710aa4852f5a305ffd78110|iid:1

He provides me photos

EDIT: Unfortunately, they can't ship to me the 2019 manufactured battery from Canado to France...Why I have no luck.

I was thinking about upgrading to the Pixel 4, but my 2 XL simply won't let me go.

Have had the device for 1,5 years now, still rocking as new.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Real Life Review] bythelaw:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Real Life Review] LluisAzm:
Hi!

After Android 11 update battery seems to be better, you too??
[Google Pixel 2 XL Real Life Review] kmry:
A little worst for me, performance wise too, a little sluggish and the memory management is too agresive.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Real Life Review] JackyGundam:
i don't know why, my device barely get 3.5h-4h sot with about 80% battery health.

maybe i have to clean install the stock again?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Real Life Review] kmry:
Same for me, standby drain is huge with Android 11, I have 82% battery health. Normal day. Wifi all time is 4 soc and 8-9 hours total.

I'm thinking doing a full wipe and installing the image of Android 11 and try again, but I'm not really sure how to do a fully back up.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Real Life Review] LluisAzm:
I updated without full wipe. An important thing is that I changed my battery on january, battery drain and sot time was awful, battery was bloated too. After this change, sot and battery drain improved.

I wanted to change Pixel 2 XL tu buy OP Nord, but I think to stay some months more with Pixel, it works very well now with this change and Android 11.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Real Life Review] kmry:
I did the full wipe, with adaptable battery on. And I'm getting 5 hour SoT and 20 hours of total time, full wifi all day, and GSM mode, brightness at medium or 3/4. Lots of texting. Mails, and social networks. With a 20% battery degradation.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Real Life Review] eruben:
First days after I moved to A11 I've had like the best battery life ever (6+ hours), for the last week I'm barely having 4 with no visible reason.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Real Life Review] shinigami777:
Day by day since updating to Android 11, the battery is getting worse and worse. I have no idea what's going on anymore.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Real Life Review] rajkatiyar07:
Deep discharge (use until it gets shut down)> 100% charge > Deep Discharge > Charge 0 to 100 . Some call it battery calibration. My pixel is 2.6 years old now. Never had any battery issues , i do calibration once in a month and i never charge my device above 80% and never let it fall under 20%.

---------- Post added at 12:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:01 PM ----------

There must be some rouge app or rouge update for any app.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Real Life Review] shinigami777:
A few days have passed and I can see a significant improvement. Honestly, I don't know what actually helped. some app update or maybe something I did, but there's a significant improvement.

In general, I would like to remind that from the update to android 11 my battery was tragic but only when using it, there was no problem with standby.

I was barely able to get 4 SOT hours. Now I can safely exceed 6 hours.

The only modifications I made were:

- leave beta program of digital welbing and its complete shutdown app

- disabled wifi scanning

- disabled Location service for emergency calls ELS

Since then, battery consumption with the screen on has dropped from 25-30%/ h to 12-16%/h. The phone is like new again. In addition, everything works very quickly and smoothly. ??
[Google Pixel 2 XL Real Life Review] EeZeEpEe:
Gonna give this a try and see how it works out for me. Battery's always been just ok for me since day one.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Real Life Review] KiranGadge911:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Real Life Review] sandip_909:
How do you shutdown digital well being app?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Real Life Review] shinigami777:
I did not shut down digital welbing. I just leave the beta program, updated to the latest version, and turned everything off. So I mainly revoked all access permissions.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Real Life Review] sandip_909:
Cool, got it. I am testing the same with your mods, let's see if there's any improvement.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Real Life Review] shinigami777:
Hope there will be an improvement. For me, it has recently remained at 14% / h. If I do not use too much camera, I can easily have over 5h SOT and even closer to 6h. Previously, I could not exceed 4 hours.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Real Life Review] sandip_909:
I'll report my findings, I applied the changes today. Even I've been struggling to get 4+ hours of SOT. It's 2 years 10 months old though, so let's see.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Real Life Review] shinigami777:
Mine is about 2.5 years old. I forgot to add that I was doing one more thing recently. I charged my phone to 100% and used it until it turned off. I've been doing this twice in a row. I can't believe it could help but who knows. I was just at a point where I would try everything.

Today my battery:

What's your battery degradation %, can you use accubattery a couple of days and upload a screenshot?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Real Life Review] sabbeer:
how fast your phone charges on this rom?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Real Life Review] jimv1983:
Wow. By only wifi I'm guessing you mean that you are always connected to wifi but don't actually turn off mobile data(that must be the case based on the screen shot). I'm on wifi most of the time too but mobile data isn't disabled. I have location on with high accuracy so I expect that to decrease battery life some but not as much as I see based on your screenshot. I leave my brightness at around 15% so I wouldn't expect that to influence battery life all that much.

I'm also assuming that is with not plugging in at all between being 100% charged and the screenshot being taken.

Really impressive. I live having location on but I think I'll try to repeat your conditions when I have a chance to see how much better I do. Just curious, what kind of cell strength do you get? I know that can impact things.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Real Life Review] jimv1983:
I'm getting about the same. The battery life really does blow away anything I've owned before.

I'm at about the same screen on time as you with barely a day off charger and 24% left. If I just left it alone until it died I think I could probably get over 3 days.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Real Life Review] Superdad_98:
I put my phone on the charger with 17% and almost 72 hours standby and 8+ hours sot.,

Definitely this is by far the best android phone I had, going all the way back to the G1.

---------- Post added at 12:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:39 AM ----------

Yes, I work out of the house so I'm always on wifi, but I don't turn mobile data off. I have project fi , and lately they are preferring Sprint, so signal is soso, according to signal spy, the signal strength is -103 dbm.

I think the major difference is location, I have no need for it unless I drive and I need to collect point from my Allstate app.

As far as charging, I have been charging every 2 or 3 days when it goes down close to 15%, I charge it all the way to 100%, I have not used the charger or the Cable yet, I'm charger it from a usb 3.0 port on my computer using the Cable that project Fi shipped couple of years ago with the Lego stand.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Real Life Review] jimv1983:
I'm really surprised that location would make that much difference in battery life. Location Services shouldn't really be using an battery unless there is actually an app that is trying to get the location in which case the location icon would show in the status bar. For me that doesn't really happen that much. Mainly maps and a few other things. I'll try turning it off and see what happens.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Real Life Review] cwburns32:
Location services on with poor signal will destroy your battery. I leave all my location and at high accuracy and get great battery life but I work and live in areas that have great signal
[Google Pixel 2 XL Real Life Review] jimv1983:
I would battery saving location mode to be more impacted by poor signal strength than high accuracy because high accuracy is mainly depending on GPS rather than cell signal. Also, neither one should take any power at all if you aren't doing something take pulls location. If you don't see the location icon on the right side of the status bar then location services shouldn't be using any power.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Real Life Review] EeZeEpEe:
I don't think that's necessarily true. The icon is GPS for high accuracy. But you would still have location being accessed for things like a websites for closest location of a store, social media apps during posts, Google Assistant location related recommendations, etc.

Got rid of the Oreo Colorizer app.....also got rid of the official Facebook app and replaced it with Metal for Facebook and my screen on time skyrocketed. 5.5 hours with 50% battery still left!

Started using the phone since today morning.. damn impressed with the battery on the very first day with heavy usage..

currently SOT is 3.5 hours with 51% juice left.. (on LTE full day and also Location on always)

should easily cross 7 hours SOT at the end of the first cycle

I guess it will only improve from here..

Nothing special stock ROM, no GPS, no WiFi, I was only on 4G. And I made no pictures during this 2 days...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Real Life Review] dieselhazza:
You guys are getting battery life. I am impressed with the results. I had an S7 edge which was ok nothing special. Now i have a xz premium which is quite a bit better than my S7 edge. However i want to see if i get similar results to you guys once I'm running oreo. Have to wait and see. Nevertheless xz-premium is a great daily driver. If the pixel xl 2 didn't have screen issues i would have probably bought it. Next year is going to be very competitive. LG V40, Pixel XL 3 and new Xperia line.

I won't buy another samsung anytime soon though. They lag after short usage

Every what would be considered "battery draining" setting is on. Brightness typically set between 15-35%, lots of BT for Spotify over this 52 hour period, just over 6 hrs of SOT. Not the heaviest of user but if I'm charging my phone every other day, I'm happy.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Real Life Review] wingsfortheirsmiles:
That's ridiculously good. I assume that's on Wifi, have you got location, auto sync, BT on?

Superb Battery

My battery life experience on the P2XL has been nothing short of spectacular so far. Currently running Flash Kernel v1.05 and with FB, WhatsApp, Telegram, Insta and Messenger, all running in the background. Around 55% brightness with adaptive.

I was at 4hrs SOT at 44% battery life and then 6hrs45mins at 20%! So I'd say this device can support a MINIMUM of 7hrs SOT with room with plenty more. See attached screenshots.

For me personally, I no longer have to worry about charging my phone daily as this phone can easily keep me going for 2 days. #2DayBattery :laugh:

Mostly messaging apps like fb messenger/standard app, Textra, Allo, Lots of web browsing, watched a few YouTube videos, played a couple 10-15 minute sessions of brain it on. Streamed music via Bluetooth to my home theater for a few hours, had a 30 min phone call with a friend.

Honestly gave the phone such a huge workout today I'm stunned.

Did you use your phone very long after the 8.1 update but before you did the factory reset? Was the factory reset really needed after the update? I haven't got the 8.1 update yet but I HATE doing a factory reset because then I have to set up my phone all over again.
