Means they think pixel 2xl buyers will buy again pixel 3xl and in that will they save there money after buying pixel3 Xl.

What an idea? .

No one will buy that pixel 3 xl.

Advice to Google :Google just change the design do something new don't copy iphone in any way, please create impact of android devices in such way in the world that no one will buy iphone.

But u r doing exactly against that. Now no will buy pixel 3 xl its flop of 2018.

Change that design in emergency operations otherwise u will be f......... K up.

Judging by how much more of the 4GB RAM is used by my 2XL with Pie, I see absolutely no reason to fork out a grand for a new 3XL with the same amount of RAM. That alone is a deal breaker for me. Should be at least 6GB.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] huiseh:
Ever since upgrading to Android P (OTA) 3 days ago I've noticed the battery life is really poor. On Oreo I used to see only 1-2% drain overnight. Now I go to bed with full charge and wake up with only 60% left. The battery drains a lot faster when I'm using it as well.

I used to be able to get 6-7 hours SOT easily. Now I'm not even sure if I could squeeze 4 hours before the battery is flat.

Is anybody else seeing this? Or is this normal considering Android P just got installed and it needs time to "optimize stuff"? But then again, with Oreo I got awesome battery life from day 1.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] ej7631:
Weird, I've gotten better battery life..
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] siggey:
Better battery here
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] huiseh:
Interesting. I'll let it run a few more days and see if there's any improvement. Otherwise I'm going back to Oreo.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Triscuit:
Give it some time, once adapative battery figures out your usage and adjusts accordingly, you should see better battery life
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jounes:
Try to factory reset ur device this may help
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] huiseh:
Thanks guys. I'll wait a few more days. If it doesn't improve will try a factory reset

I'm getting better battery life with Pie
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] shishimaru1000:
Pixel 1 XL could last a long time. Pixel 2 XL was worse and the worst with Android P unfortunately. I upgraded from Beta, decided to factory reset since there was a bug with Wear OS eating the battery. Got a little better. Got some more little better disabling adaptive battery. I think Doze is still in Android P.

Anyway, it's still not that good. But decent.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Tonyfeng:
I am having the same issue.

when I reboot the phone, the battery seems ok.

But when I start using the phone and open several apps, the battery starts draining quickly.

I installed magisk root, should I do a factory reset and not installing magisk?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] stevemw:
I went from a day and 17 hours to 16 hours. This is definiately a piss-poor "improvement to battery life."
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jimv1983:
I'm not sure how much help adaptive battery is going to help. It's meant to limit background battery usage of infrequently used misbehaving apps. If that's not happening adaptive battery won't do much.

---------- Post added at 07:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:57 AM ----------

My battery life has been terrible. Today I unplugged at 93%. I've been off the charger for 9 hours with 4 hours screen on time. I'm at 23%. With Oreo that kind of usage would have me at about 40%.

I'd rather not have the hassle of having to do a factory reset but I might not have much choice.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] huiseh:
It hasn't got any better since I reported the issue.

I think I'm going to flash Oreo instead of trying a factory reset as I doubt it would solve the problem. Maybe someone else could try and let us know.

I'll report back after flashing Oreo. Very disappointed. I thought this was the first phone I didn't need to tinker with all these stuff on. I was really happy with it until this issue came up.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] huiseh:
So a few days ago I flashed Oreo only to have it tell me it couldn't find any of my backups on Google Drive during the initial setup. Of course, the backups were done when I was on Pie.

So I had to upgrade to Pie then factory reset. This time it found my backups.

Yesterday I managed to get 5 hours SOT with about 40% battery left. Life is all good now :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] mwatson:
looks like i'm going to have to do the same. It doesnt make sense how some people are getting better battery and other worse. Are there some of us running apps not 9.0 compatible? might be worth uninstalling everything and adding them back day by day. it'll take a long time though!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jimv1983:
I had a similar experience. Battery life was awful after Pie update. Factory reset and it's back to normal.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] GuestK00192:
same here, slightly better
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] huiseh:
It appears I jumped the gun. The problem came back yesterday.

The phone loses about 4-5% battery per hour even on standby. I have no idea what's going on; I haven't installed any new apps and usage pattern hasn't changed either.

One very interesting fact I have discovered is that the issue appears to happen only when I'm on Wifi. When I'm mobile data, all is good. So the phone seems to be doing some funky stuff when it's on Wifi lol.

Oh well, I guess I will try to install BBS and see if I could find the culprit.

That is entirely possible. I guess we have apps that have not been written/optimized for Pie? That would explain why some people are not seeing the issue and some unfortunate ones like us are.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] shishimaru1000:
I factory-resetted the phone, the issue is still there. I don't have any strange app. It seems that it's just the system that is consuming the battery.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Sab3elbromba:
That's very strange I've had the complete opposite, battery life has improved, if reset didn't fix it monitor your apps for unusual battery usage and limit the background activity of battery consuming apps
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Simonsimps:
Me and my other half both have Pixel 2 XL's. We are both on the same network (Three)

After the Pie OTA update my battery is draining down to 20% with zero SOT time just sitting there on the table after 9 hours. Hers is fine and lasts all day hardly going down.

Mine was fine on Oreo, it was amazing in fact. I'm not a heavy user and it would be on 70-80% after a full day at bedtime. I wouldn't charge it for 3 days now, I have to charge it every night.

Nothing shows in battery stats as draining the battery even with show all(system)

It must be an app I have that she doesn't or a dodgy update.

I saw someone suggested turning off 'Adaptive Battery' so I am trying that and then if that does not work I will try a factory reset.

Very bizarre ???
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] aaronrw:
My battery loses over 10% charge while I'm sleeping. No rogue apps it's just there. I'm pretty disappointed with pixel my screen showing way too many smudges due to coating wearing off and I've noticed the device has slowed down. Factor in horrible viewing angles and my speakers sound like mud. Phone is not even 9 months old
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jimv1983:
I've been really impressed with my battery life over the last 1.5 days. I took my phone off the charger at 100% on Tuesday night at 11:45pm. It is currently 7:45am Thursday morning. That's 32 hours. Screen on time is 4hr 52 minutes. I'm currently at 38%. That's without doing much but I haven't gotten battery life like this even for this light usage since before the February update. Not the best I've ever seen on this phone but better than it's been in a long time. That alone is pretty impressive considering the phone is 10 months old and the battery probably has close to 300 charge cycles at this point. I hope this battery life holds up.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] huiseh:
I actually went back to O again after my last post but set it up as a new device and then re-installed the apps I had before.

After almost a week on, the battery life is still amazing. Losing only around 0.25-0.5% per hour on standby. 5-6 hours SOT easily with 30-40% left, pretty much what I was getting before that stupid P OTA update.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Simonsimps:
I factory reset my pixel 2xl and it was great again until I charged it then the next day it went down to 20% doing nothing but sitting on the table, nothing showing in battery stats.

I hadn't even signed in to all my apps. Very strange, but even stranger is that today I have set the screen sleep time to 30 mins and have left it on all day. I keep touching the screen to make sure it stays on and the battery life is better than when the phone is in sleep WTF.

Currently at 4 hours of SOT and at 71% Adaptive brightness is on and the phone is just showing my wallpaper. Very crazy.

I maybe something to do with sleep.

My partners phone is still going ok and lasts longer than mine, she is on ebay listing stuff all day with it. Can't work out why hers is fine and mine is buggered :(
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Anony58:
Same issue here, although not as bad as perhaps some of you.

I used to get about 4.5-5.5 hours of SOT on Oreo and in the P Beta releases, but since upgrading the the official Android 9 Pie version I get roughly 4-4.5 hours of SOT and the idle drain is slightly worse than before.

I normally would be on 85-80% while using my normal apps for an hour, while on 9.0 Pie I often end up being on 65-70%.

I think my issue has a lot to do with the adaptive brightness, so I'll be turning it off and test how it performs without it in the coming days.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Simonsimps:
Ahh good shout. My misses has that turned off and I left it on as I quite like it.

Just turned it off and will do some testing too.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] deadwarrior:
I'm experiencing this as well. Battery life was good right after i upgraded to Android P. But after about 3-4 days, it got significantly worse. Especially standby drain, eats about 20% while I'm sleeping. When i was on Oreo, it barely even moved. At first i thought it was the "Playing Now" feature, but disabling that didn't improve anything.

Seriously considering downgrading to Oreo. :(
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] BoboBrazil:
I had the same issue along with many other problems on P, like apps being non responsive, messages force closing and crashing frequently, etc. Went back to Oreo with a factory reset and I got my old phone I loved back. Pie is a horrible update. I assume all the kinks will be worked out in 9.1 so I might update again then.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] abachhan75:
for me, battery life is better after upgrade to 9.0, with moderate use (NO maps), it can last about one full day, and next day till evening. Although i hate new brightness "improvements".
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Anony58:
It's too soon to make a conclusion but I can already tell the differences with the feature being turned off completely.

My battery so far has been just as good as on Oreo (which was perfect for me) with Adaptive Brightness being turned off.

For comparison, used the same apps as yesterday to do some testing and 1 hour of use with 4 apps got me from 100 to 71%, with Adaptive turned off it got me from 100 to 87%. That's a gigantic difference IMO.

Anyone having small battery issues, I'd recommend giving up 'Adaptive Brightness' as a first thing to try and troubleshoot. It's a great feature, but it clearly needs some more work (under-the-hood, although it worked pretty well for me, and got pretty accurate after a week on Android P Beta releases.)

I'll report back on Sunday to see if my results are still accurate, so far I'm surprised and really happy with the results though.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] AwkwardUberHero:
I am on the same page with you. My phone's a fingerprint magnet now, only had it since January. Battery life on the latest DP was much better for me than the true final build of P. I have disabled Adaptive Brightness, and even turned off location services as a whole as well, just to see if I can get my battery back to behaving again.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Anony58:
Well, I promised to give an update on this and in short: My battery is just as good, if not even better than on Android Oreo with Adaptive Brightness turned off.

I'd suggest anyone facing similar issues to first turn it off and see if it fixes their battery draining issues - it definitely resolved mine.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] madscribblerz:
You all realize that the battery optimization in pie is driven by an AI right?

So it might not be as good as oreo at first, but as it learns it gets better and better, and given extensive beta testing it's shown to be superior to the battery management in older versions of Android.

I mean disable it if you want, but you're locking it into a battery profile that might seem better, but over the long run will be sub-optimal.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] mwatson:
AI or not, a month later on Pie with the new September update, my battery life is much worse and I've factory reset it too.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] madscribblerz:
Well the factory reset also reset the AI.

I'm seeing battery life on par with oreo - no better, no worse. I guess if disabling it works for you, do.

My intent is to make sure it's understood there is an AI at play, and like any AI, it needs to be trained to work properly.

Disabling stops training. If that's what you want, disable it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] dragonopt1:
I don't have Adaptive Brightness turned on but I think even google said it only needs about a week to adjust to user preference. If people are using it for a month or more and still having issues I'd turn it off as well AI or not.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Simonsimps:
Mine is the same, Just got it back to being good again with a factory reset then the September update made it poor again. Yet my OH's phone is unaffected. Really annoying.

4 hours off the charger this morning and it's at 80% I turned wifi off to test something and 4 hours later it's at 76% so hardly moved. And now another 2 hours on it's at 74% and I have been using for a few youtube videos and whatsapp a lot.

For me I think it maybe to do with wifi. I'm going to let it get to 70% and then turn wifi back on and see what happens. Bluetooth and wifi scanning are OFF btw.

She uses her phone a lot more than me so maybe the AI is indeed the reason, who knows. It really is an annoying unknown. :D

Edit***

Been back on wifi for 4 hours with only a 3% drop which is about what I expect. I have done something different though. Rather than default my phone connects to my 5Ghz I connected to the 2.4Ghz band.

I have just changed over to 5Ghz band so will see if that makes a difference. Currently on 66%.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Simonsimps:
This is the same thing I am going through. Me and my fiance have the Pixel 2XL and her battery is amazing all the time and mine is crap even though I use it less.

This video LTT put out tonight is exactly what is going on, he blames it on samsung but I think it more to do with Android as a whole.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] madscribblerz:
Just to give you all a good reference to judge by, this is the % battery utilization according to my kernel (ElementalX) at 80% brightness.

1.09%/hr idle, 8.75%/hr screen on.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] HelpIBricked:
Same issue here... since Pie was released, after I installed and rebooted went to sleep with 70% battery. In the morning no alarm rang, missed work, phone was off totally drained.

I'm a Fi user, I have no social media apps, games or anything related, only stock apps + banking + uber. I only use Google Home News on the left, Gmail, Hangouts and a few phone calls.

Oreo - screen usage 3 - 4 hours, battery life 3 - 4 days (so happy).

Pie - On a 9-5 job, going full charge, total screen time 45 min - 1 hour and my phone is dead when I get in the car to drive home. So 8 - 10 hours battery life.

Latest update Sept 5th didn't fix anything. Battery usage wasn't showing anything. I disabled my work profile, disabled most apps and their permission including google, maps, location, carrier, assistant, backups, syncing, homescreen news ->SAME LIFETIME. So I decided to spy on the dns a little bit and transparently proxy http as much as google allows.

70% of the requests go to gvt1.com

10% clients*.google.com

5% clientservices.googleapis.com

etc.

I blocked them and many others on my local network. Phone works fine. Battery the same.

gvt1.com is google but I don't think gives you anything except for feed their db for marketing and privacy violations.

Blocked about 10 google related domains total, everything works perfect, desktop or phone. Except 1 thing, playstore requires gvt1 to initiate the updates. So I get the notification "these apps need updates" but it wont update, then I manually switch the DNS to something public like 9.9.9.9 and updates go instantly. Then back to filtered/censored local dns. Been doing it since Oreo for nearly a year, no issues better privacy. So bottom line is, by inspecting the network packets, wifi is not draining the battery.

Just purchased AccuBattery, will report results with Adaptive Brightness on/off. I think that should improve it a lot but maybe by 30% ?? I don't expect it to gain 300% improvement to 3 -4 days as Oreo performed.

Can someone confirm that if reverting back to Oreo the backup/restore with google will work successfully?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] HelpIBricked:
Yes, battery improved with Adaptive Brightness OFF ... from 10-12 hours to a full day. But minimal to no usage. Still not a solution.

[IMG="Battery"]https://i.imgur.com/EGANGS6.png[/IMG][IMG="Graph"]https://i.imgur.com/J6AkI6k.png[/IMG]

Going back to Oreo... can't take this anymore.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Anony58:
Uhh, that's is indeed really bad. Did you try a factory reset yet? If not, perhaps give that a try, just don't forget to back everything up beforehand.

Alternatively as you said, you can either roll back to Oreo or wait for 5th October's security patch and hope to see that some things are fixed. In November, I'd expect Android 9.1 or 9.2 to arrive with a bunch of new features alongside a lot of fixes/improvement with the Pixel 3 series being out. Just a thought tho, hope you can fix it. Keep us updated!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
Something is definitely draining and it's not an app. The "show full device usage" would be more helpful in your case.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] beezar:
Well in order to go back to Oreo, he'd have to factory reset still. Might as well stick with Pie for a little bit after factory resetting to see if things improve
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
And I'm doing just fine with Pie and didn't do a factory reset yet. I'm waiting for my one year mark which will be October 26.

For a data point, I purchased a brand new pixel xl 2 on project fi this week. With adaptive brightness on, Facebook, and some other social network software.... I'm getting absolutely amazing battery life.

Today I have 78% battery left, with 1.5 hours sot. Yesterday I had a few hours more of screen time and went to bed with 40% battery left. It's incredible, my 6P would have been more than half dead by now!

I'm on Pie, it booted on 8.0 but immediately upgraded after transferring my files. I thought about resetting, but I don't see a point. I really wonder if it would help for those of you having issues to factory reset, it's absolutely possible to get great battery life on pie

To close this story,

After google support was troubleshooting the device, they weren't able to find any issues so the sent me a new device.

New device performed the same exact way.

Come Oct 5th 2018 update > battery life back to 5 - 6 days. yayy :)

I have been searching for a calling card application, and I tried spDialer, eDialer and msDialer, the problem is that most of them are old and are for wm5 not 6. I can't get a single one to work. What I am looking for is a simple calling card dialer, preferably one that integrates into contact menu with an option like "Dial using calling card".

Anyone got anything working with wm6 ?
