I'm in absolute love with this phone.

Over last year, almost, I've used Pixel 3, OP7t, iPhone 11 and now this...

And I can definitely say that I've felt most settled with 3a (closely followed by iPhone 11 but iOS is crap).

So much so that the only mobile that is gonna replace this for me is Pixel 4a/5a.
[Google Pixel 3a Real Life Review] dkryder:
i've had my p3a for a couple months and i like it. it's an excellent reincarnation of a nexus. hopefully google continues to refine the concept.
[Google Pixel 3a Real Life Review] alliance1975:
I very much like my p3a. I heard how easy Google made the pixels to root. Followed the guides but updates proved problematic. Sadly root did not provide all the features I wanted, (i.e. the ability to remove system apps). Interestingly straight stock gives me everything I want. Apps can't be removed but can be disabled. It's still early days for development so I wait.
[Google Pixel 3a Real Life Review] :
Just got the phone in today. 3a XL. First thing I noticed is how nice if feels in the hand compared to my OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren. More "boxier" and less tall. Nice. I love having a traditional fingerprint sensor again. Much faster and more accurate than the optical I've been using and ultra sonic on my Note 10 Plus.

This 3a XL is my way of making life more simple for me. I realized after using all these phones over just this past year that my daily phone needs/wants are not demanding whatsoever. This feels better. More sensible. I'm happy Google made this a series. I hope the 4a phones will be just as good.

One negative that's not a big deal is that I've noticed that I have to keep the brightness scale up closer to full brightness to have the same amount of brightness I'm used to on my other phones where I typically kept the brightness scale at the middle or lower.

Everything is great. I thought I'd be struggling with only less that 64GB of storage left compared to the 256GB I was used to before but that was another thing I realized. I don't use a lot of storage at all. So I have plenty with this phone. I guess I used to just be paranoid I'd never have enough storage. One of those things that I wanted to have and not need it vs the alternative. But my thoughts have evolved on this topic.

Headphone jack. Headphone jack. Oh, how I've missed the headphone jack. Plastic body, feels so much better. Glass where it counts. Plastic for durability. Perfect. Oh, and FLAT display again! So much better. Samsung seems to finally realize that curved displays are not so great. New S20 series have calmed down with that curve.

So far so good with this phone. I appreciate its humility.

A different ROM

If neither help, then ask questions, and make sure the hardware isn't damaged

hi, is there anyone who tell me why my wifi couldn't detect any wireless in range and irda i am using iphone prophet 1.1.2 and radio is 69 my device is qtek s200 g4 i used to can use that services . please if there is a solution send it to me. thaanks in advance.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] l3v5y:
Try a different ROM/radio ROM. Some ROMs have some issues, that are only rectified in different builds or with different drivers.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] march-arm5:
Hello!

Well, i have the same problem(no wifi), and I am trying to do diag's

and I have tried 10-15 times so far , different rom's clean/full(wm5, wm6 wm6.1)

different radios (69.21, 19.21, 43...) in a G4 hardspl-ed.

So I was thinking what else should i try ?

Is there a debug version?

It would be cool to add some diagnostics to wiki!

ps: it was a second hand from ebay
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] l3v5y:
AFAIK, apart from MTTY (which I can't use well) there are no diagnostic tools...

What I would suggest, is flashing the original ROM for your device, and seeing if that works...
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] march-arm5:
well it seems that orange don't have official rom, i'm making tests on power drain

to see if there are "leaks" but the problem is that it is dependent to firmware,

the minimum that i saw was about 16mA with some "clean" rom but typically it

can go up to 56mA

Also i was thinking about firing up a Linux kernel but i don't thing that the wlan is supported (yet).

DASH Power Drain Possible Reason

Hey all, I've got a T-Mobile Dash (HTC Excalibur) running WM6.1 Kavana, which is great!

Thing is, it does not stay lit very long. 5 maybe 6 odd hours.

No Wifi. (Driver not loaded error)

I installed Facada 1.4.9 on it, and somehow, the wifi came back, and was functional, for a whole of one day.

Here's the kicker. The phone was at 100% that morning, when I installed Facade. By 10PM the phone was at 81%, amazing! Hasn't lasted that long (960Mah).

Thing is, I tried the Wi-fi, and it has once again failed. (after 10PM). Battery returned to superdrain mode.

My hypothesis is that the driver doesn't load, because the Wifi is already on, and is not functioning properly! Therefore, since it is on, the battery is draining rapidly trying to maintain power to the wifi. And since the driver doesn't initialize, the phone doesn't recognize (software) that the wifi is on, therefore you can't turn it on or off, and your battery will drain very rapidly.

I'm going to call HTC and give them my opinion on this situation, and see if they have any solutions (apart from buying a new phone.

This is a used E-Bay purchased phone. From day one, full functionality, including WIFI and Bluetooth. Battery lasted up to 3 days on standby.

Now, no Wifi, battery lasts (960Mah) 5-7 hours (standby) less with talking.

Hope this clarifies some of the concern on the battery and wifi loss issues. As soon as I have a solution, I will post back.

Cheers gents!

(Sorry mods for this being NOT in the Excalibur forum, just thought it might be relevant even for a different model seeing as the hardware/software is very similar)

PS. Wifi is once again functional (Day after) for reasons unknown!

Battery is charging, and is actually back to factory specs on battery life.

My A3 was really heating while charging, always around 41 to 43 degrees, and sometimes while playing to. The actual temperature here (south France) is around 30/34 degrees. I asked Google a replacement phone, they send me one new. Same temperature. So the problem was not the phone, just pixel 3a seems to be quickly heating up.
[Google Pixel 3a Real Life Review] dkryder:
I found a video that I wanted a transcript of. I started Google recorder and then the video. Worked great for 10 minutes then recorder turned off transcript "due to excessive heat". Hahaha. I guess they never tested over 5 minutes. So I tend to give the app and the 3a poor marks in the heat category.
[Google Pixel 3a Real Life Review] waingro808:
Same experience with recording long videos on my 3a. My Pixel 1 gets super hot when using the camera too. That Google computational photography burns a lot of CPU and battery!

[Google Pixel 3a Real Life Review] PGHammer:
Pixels in general take the best pictures out there - and I am not just referring to my 3a. Mom has a refurbished Original Pixel; the only difference is she did not follow me to dark mode. I updated to 7.1 Camera app today; she will follow tomorrow because she is even pickier about pictures than I am. (She is not used to having a top tier camera in her phone any more than I am; the reality that - as long as our Camera apps match, our pictures will, is a decided boggle factor.)
[Google Pixel 3a Real Life Review] Tomar777:
Is it me or did the quality go down a bit since the 2 last camera app updates?
[Google Pixel 3a Real Life Review] sic0048:
The last camera update was nearly two months ago. I just wanted to check to make sure you are referring to actual camera updates, and not the monthly OS updates.

Personally I have not seen any difference.
[Google Pixel 3a Real Life Review] Tomar777:
Yes i mean camera updates, from 7.1 to 7.3... feels like there's more noise in low light/difficult scenes....

Its not noticeable on the phone, but on pc edit, i also saw a few people complaining for it in Reddit.

Maybe its just my idea... thanks for your answer.
[Google Pixel 3a Real Life Review] sainiridu:
Here is an astro shot(slightly edited).See on full brightness.
[Google Pixel 3a Real Life Review] MAX_hey:
And now, how has the camera in the current version shown itself? How has the quality of the photos been?
[Google Pixel 3a Real Life Review] Tomar777:
the only thing that annoys me is the white balance some times at lower light situations...

I also detect more noise in shadows on difficult scenes f.e portrait with sunset backgound.

Im coming from the op3 a 4h SOT device so im quite happy with the battery life of the p3a
[Google Pixel 3a Real Life Review] carnivalrejectq:
You got 8 hours on the regular one? I used to have the 3A XL but then gifted it to someone and an now using an galaxy S9. Really miss having a pixel though so am thinking about picking up the regular 3A and was wondering how the battery would differ
[Google Pixel 3a Real Life Review] yabadabadooo:
Yes it's the 3a. I think i could get more SOT without gaming.
[Google Pixel 3a Real Life Review] Chris.nl:
From full charge to zero, I could get about 10hrs of screentime consecutively browsing, but that's not how I use my phone. In 48hrs of 'normal usage' I get about 5hrs of screentime.
[Google Pixel 3a Real Life Review] Uzephi:
I do about 3-6 hours of BT audio streaming daily which is why there is a larger than normal screen off usage. Still nice average SOT. I have so many sessions because I try to keep my battery between 50 and 80% for longevity.
[Google Pixel 3a Real Life Review] Emu:
I get 8 good hours.
[Google Pixel 3a Real Life Review] 808phone:
What does Android 10 Battery say? Screen usage since full charge? Also Full charge lasts about???

Mine says 1 day 11 hours of typical usage. I always charge at night so it has rarely if ever run out.
[Google Pixel 3a Real Life Review] carnivalrejectq:
Well I switched back to the 3a (regular version this time not the XL) and I'm getting about 4 hours SOT. Brand new.
[Google Pixel 3a Real Life Review] razorsbk:
is it better or worse than the XL ?
[Google Pixel 3a Real Life Review] carnivalrejectq:
Worse, on the best day you can get 6.5-7 hours on the regular. On the XL it's possible to get 9-10
[Google Pixel 3a Real Life Review] sippinhenn:
I got my pixel 3a a couple weeks ago and struggling the last week or so getting more than 3.5 or 4 hrs SOT. I did use GPS for a 2 hour drive home today but it's 3p and I'm down to 10%. Idunno what's going on.

Here is the other day :/

[Google Pixel 3a Real Life Review] dkryder:
the app usage of 66% is a clue. maybe you got some crazy app eating up battery. if you have bluetooth and/or wifi scanning on continuously that can drain a bit. gsam can be setup to show which app is using most by doing the adb command. just select apps for the details if you have not already.
[Google Pixel 3a Real Life Review] sippinhenn:
Check out the second screenshot in that link. I've setup this via adb and had that included originally but probably wasn't obvious

Elemental x Kernel.
[Google Pixel 3a Real Life Review] sippinhenn:
Here we are after factory reset and flashing the latest OTA from

https://developers.google.com/android/images

Still can't hit 4 hrs SOT. Not once. I really don't know what to do at this point. Incredibly frustrating with everyone else on this thread having MUCH better results.

GSAM is showing some pretty beefy wakelocks on that "RemoteSoundTriggerDetection" and "*alarm*", ActivityManager-Sleep, etc.

I bought it from Best Buy. Should I go up there and see if they'll replace (highly doubt it) ? Maybe flash a custom kernel?
[Google Pixel 3a Real Life Review] dkryder:
screen on time is a function of what a person normally does with a phone. one way to get high screen on time is you could set display intensity to 25% and timeout to 30 min. if you need that number to be higher. just let the screen be on as much as possible. when you first got it did you fully charge it then fully discharge it then fully charge again? screen on time is about the last metric i ever think about. i don't understand at all why it's so important. i'd be willing to bet some users set intensity to 20% and time out to 30 min or always on and do very little else then they get s.o.t. of 8-9 hrs or higher and think it's great when it's a joke. that's the way i look at it anyway.
[Google Pixel 3a Real Life Review] sippinhenn:
Not sure if you're replying to me but I'll answer anyway. Yes I fully charged it then fully discharged it then fully charged again when I first got it.

It's not the SOT that is so worrisome but the constant Android system and kernel drain on my device.

I'm getting worse battery life on my 6 week old 3a than my 2.5 yo OnePlus 5 which wasn't good to begin with. This device was lauded for having excellent battery life and I'm not seeing it.
[Google Pixel 3a Real Life Review] iron maiden:
hello , what version elemental kernel?

regards
[Google Pixel 3a Real Life Review] Uzephi:
It isn't that at all. I found using it for anything where the phone needs to utilize the GPU a lot, like gaming, drains battery substantially. "Light" workloads, like web browsing, using social media apps, streaming video, etc give you really good battery life. Once I start up a game, I see about 5-6 hrs compared to 9.5 hrs if I just stream YouTube, check the XDA app, email, Reddit, etc.

Got to work at 6am 100% battery, left at 10:30am 71% so decided to top up.

Around 11:15am phone was at around 95%.

I'm now home 19:45 and I have around 30% left.

According to digital wellbeing I've had 2hr SOT, battery monitor says 3hr SOT.

I've done almost evenly YouTube, MS Teams, WhatsApp, email checking, few phone calls, music.

I also dual sim on pixel 3a
