This phone is a beast!
[Google Pixel 5 Real Life Review] andybones:
I average 5-10 hours screen on time, depending on factors such as if I charge past 80%

I can usually get like 6-7 hour SOT from 80-20%

This phone is a beast.

I really hope I can find something better,

I had this feeling on the HTC 10 and literally was on it with Nougat 7.1.2 until release day of this device.

I can't let that happen again.

Android 7-10 was a big jump and I'm very behind.

I've always used Magisk, but not like this. MODs through the MODules (ha) are really nice. Never though that so much could be accomplished this way.

I should of bought myself a cheap Pixel but I enjoyed the HTC 10, and I try not to waste.

TL: DR

This phone is incredible.

Battery life is great,

Here is a rare one I actually charged to 100%

You are on Pixel 5 and use Samsung Internet Browser?
[Google Pixel 5 Real Life Review] Bigmille:
More features, such as ad block and one button scroll to top.
[Google Pixel 5 Real Life Review] andybones:
nice, read Samsung Internet was good, and chromium based as well IIRC so would be easy to switch to

Currently switched from Chrome to Brave across my devices ATM and liking it so far, ad blocking is great, fast,
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] rumpleforeskin:
every 2 or 3 days when my alarm sounds i get no onscreen noticfication to dismiss the alarm, only the symbol in the status bar.

When i look into sounds notification/reminders i see the "display message on screen" box is unchecked again so i recheck it.

What causes this to uncheck itself?

are you experiancing this behaviour or have any insight into the cause?

thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] drdoc:
I have the exact same prob. It started when I used Diamond TF3D Config prog to change the diamond theme.

Dont know why it happens bro.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] hertc:
Anyone knows how to disable Missed Alarm Alert (symbol on the status bar) so I don't need to go to status bar console and remove it every morning ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] rumpleforeskin:
I believe i was having this problem before i had installed Diamond TF3D.

The search continues.

Im having the problem on TLR3 ROM and i know people who are also haveing this trouble on 1.37 original ROM and the 1.93 Original.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] salada2k:
I'm using TF3D Config and also 1.93 ROM but I don't seem to have this issue?

Although I have never used it to apply a 'theme' only, to change date/time format and apply one of the performance tweaks.

Have you guys updated your TF3D config via apptodate and also tried restoring defaults (within TF3D config) and then tried applying your settings again?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] rumpleforeskin:
i too only use TF3D config to format the date, i have updated it using apptodate.

I may uninstall it and see what effect that has, im not really sure that TF3D is the cause of the problem.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] MJNewton:
Yes, I'm on the original 1.37 ROM and am seeing this - bl00dy annoying too as it seems such an odd 'bug'....

Mathew
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] rumpleforeskin:
Had this happen again today, really annoys the wife as i spend time trying get the phone to shut up.

I have made no progress determining the cause, but it does only seem to uncheck the box after a soft reset, but strangley not after every soft reset..... the plot thickens
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] rumpleforeskin:
This problem only happens after i reset the device, but not every time.

As i cant find the cause i was thinking of a way to fix the problem.

i found the reg entry for the reminders show "on screen"

\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{15F11F90-8A5F-454c-89FC-BA9B7AAB0CAD}

and i have the values for the box checked and unckecked.

I have been googleing for the past hour but having no luck with what i want to achieve.

I would like to write a batch file to open a reg file that will change the dismiss box registry entry to the checked value, but it seems batch files cannot be run from the windows start up folder.

Im not very technically skilled with programming so could someone more knolegable point me towards the correct way of doing what i desired, which is change a rehgistry value at start up.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] elziko:
I could write an executable that will restore the registry entires on start-up but I can't find the registry value that controls it.

Which value are you editing?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] pegaz:
Start / Settings / Sounds and Notifications

Page Notifications

Event - choose Reminders

Check on Display Message.

CHEERS
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] elziko:
If that was in reply to me, I'm looking for registry entry!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] cuniculus:
This thread seems closest to the problem I have.

For me it is always that on alarm there is no popup where I can dismiss the or snooze the alarm

I always have to unlock the phone (by entering password), tap the status bar, then choose the alarm button and then the pop up appears as it should have done by itself.

This is always, no matter if I reset or not. And, I have checked on "display message" when I look into the settings.

This is freaking weird and annoying.

:cool:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Moonsower:
I've noticed the box unchecks after the sync process via Activesync.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Moonsower:
I'm pretty sure it's caused by particular side software we have installed on our Diamons. I propose to post the side software list we have and then point out the pattern.

My list:

MS Voice Command

Finix Battery Icon

Splash ID

Sprite Backup

Diamond Tweak

Resco Explorer

Yandex Maps

Skype

CorePlayer

G-Alarm

Manila Calculator Skin

Yota TV
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] MJNewton:
Nice idea but already flawed given you've not published an exhaustive list. A case in point being Activesync - that's a resident piece of software and furthermore one which you suspect as possibly being responsible!

Or are you certain it is a non-Windows issue? That's quite a leap of faith given we've all previously been scratching our heads...

I don't mean to come across negative, but I also don't want to see a futile attempt at finding a solution!

Mathew
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Moonsower:
No I am not pretty sure it's not Windows issue. However, if it is, why there are so few of us suffering?

I suspect G-Alarm, got to try to play around with it being uninstalled.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Polluxus:
I'm having the same annoying problem since running the 2.03 official ROM. On the 1.93 I never had this problem. I didn't install G-alarm or TF3DConfig.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] MJNewton:
That's a very good point, although it could quite simply be down to a combination of i) a limited number of people using the alarm, ii) affected users not being bothered by the issue, and/or iii) affected people not realising they are being affected!

For what it's worth I've never used G-Alarm...

Mathew
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Moonsower:
I had it on 1.93 and still on 2.03
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Moonsower:
I thought of that, Mathew, but:

i) not only alarm reminders don't show off on the screen. SMS and MMS notifications also do not.

ii) users on this forum are so captious, they just couldn't ignore such an issue

iii) you're probably right here

Lucky G-Alarm. I'll let it live on my phone :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] McBaresark:
Same problem here...

I've got the exact issue too - running official 2.03 ROM with a few hand-done tweaks. I haven't pinpointed exactly what causes this to become unticked but it does seem to be ActiveSync sessions at least.

Anyone else have any insight into the cause? It's very annoying to say the least. Don't seem to recall it happening with the old stock 1.32 ROM.

Regards,

McBaresark
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Atzida:
same problem here, someone must solve this out...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Atzida:
so... anyone?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Moonsower:
I am trying, really. Editing the registy. I got some sort of result but unless I am sure it works I won't post it here.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] elziko:
As a temporary fix I have a CAB file that restores the registry entires for the notifications.

I also have this applied automatically on start-up. Since I switch my phone off every night I don't see this problem too often anymore. When I do see the problem I reapply the the fix as and when I need to.

A permanent fix would be welcome though.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Atzida:
can't wait for this problem to be solved...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Kained:
I too have this problem and after some google searching discovered that this is a bug with WM. It seems that a few extra "Notification Events" are added to the Notification Event Database on your system, it gets confused and then wont display the pop-up notification, only the status bar one.

I discovered the below software (CheckNotifications) and attempted to remedy and now activesync cannot find my MDA Compact IV. I did not read the instructions carefully and am faced with a HARD RESET to resolve.

http://www.scarybearsoftware.com/product_detail.php?productname=checknotify

This may work for you if you know what you are doing.

If anyone has any further insite on how I can get activesync to recongnise my handset I'd be really greatfull.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] varvocel:
I remember SKTools and MemMaid have something like "recreate ActiveSync" or similar so don't do hard reset to soon :)

Good luck
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Kained:
:) Yaaaay!!!! :)

varvocel you genious!!!!!!!!! it works.... activesync now restored.

unfortunately... popup reminders still don't pop up.... but confidence is high and i'll keep looking!

thank you.!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] varvocel:
You are welcome :)

Regarding pop-up reminders - did you check "display message on screen" (see first post in this threat). It's randomly unchecked by WM...

Good luck again.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] rumpleforeskin:
Well in a weeks time it will be a year since i started this thread and i found no fix for the problem :(

I have since brought a diamond2 (topaz) and this also suffers the same problem so my search will continue
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] rumpleforeskin:
sorry i never replied to your post, you want the "options" Dword found here

\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{15F 11F90-8A5F-454c-89FC-BA9B7AAB0CAD}

the value for the box checked is 1073741855

the value of the box unchecked is 1073741847
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Moonsower:
Sorry to hear that of Topaz. I've never found a solution either, but I blame it on Manila.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Stellino:
Hi there, I finally found a thread regarding my issue... but unfortunately no solution!

I recently flashed the original o2 ROM (latest one) and this issue arose again. I say again because when I got the phone and it was totally standard I found the same bug, then I flashed various ROMs that didn't have no longer this issue but many others, so I decided to come back to standard.

I am happy with the ROM, finally something smooth and with no need to reboot your phone 3 times a day... But this alarm thing is a real pain in the @$$!!!!

Every single morning (actually, most of the mornings) the "show message on screen" box in Reminders is unchecked, even though I checked it the night before... and the phone automatically locks itself so I have to unlock it first in order to switch off the alarm while the f*****g thing is "alarming" the whole household!

It's so idiotic...

I tried modding the values in regedit as posted earlier, but no true benefit.

Please, help!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Stellino:
No news?

It will end up that I will resuscitate my old Nokia 3220 from my bedside table drawer, just to use it for the alarm in the morning: a phone with 7 days life battery, a phone with an alarm working even if the device is off!!! Good ol' times! :rolleyes:

I took my Pixel 5 off charge at midnight last night and when i looked at it at this 8am morning i was amazed to see the battery was still at 100% (WiFi, 4g, NFC and Bluetooth all on)
[Google Pixel 5 Real Life Review] jemeljsh:
I can also confirm that the battery life/standby drain is absolutely amazing.

Just today gsmarena also posted its battery stats on pixel 5, which got Endurance rating of 93h, which according to my own experience and usage pattern means its helluvah performer battery wise! Anything over 80h is good!

https://www.gsmarena.com/battery-test.php3
[Google Pixel 5 Real Life Review] MrBelter:
I thought i would just leave it to see what would happen overnight again, so i am still on the same charge as the first screen shot but i have 3 hours SOT time now.
[Google Pixel 5 Real Life Review] jimv1983:
The stand by drain isn't quite as good as I expected. I'm losing about 1/3% per hour. When my Pixel 2 XL was brand new it also drained about 1/3% per hour on stand by and that was with a smaller battery and less power efficient processor. I'm certinaly not complaining, 1/3% per hour is great. Just a little surprised that it's a tiny bit worse than my Pixel 2 XL.
[Google Pixel 5 Real Life Review] alastor2004:
Mine definitely seems worse than my 2XL - that would maybe lose 5-10% overnight, while the 5 seems more like 20% at the moment, even after 2 weeks for it to settle down.
[Google Pixel 5 Real Life Review] saturday_night:
Just loosing 1-3% over the complete night here. Maybe have a look into your battery statistics to find out whats causing this drain on your devices?
[Google Pixel 5 Real Life Review] MrBelter:
This is mine overnight again.
[Google Pixel 5 Real Life Review] cultofluna:
Reboot your device and check again.,is a known bug also on 4xl ....
[Google Pixel 5 Real Life Review] akulp:
Mine over night ...

https://ibb.co/MMY8wXq

From 44 to 28% in 7 hours. With AOD. It seems like AOD never sleeps. It's avout 2%/h.

Can anyone with AOD report his own "score".
[Google Pixel 5 Real Life Review] MrBelter:
Well if it ia bug i am delighted with it, i am getting all but 2 days battery life with 5 hours SOT. (FWIW it rebooted last night after installing the November patch and the standby drain overnight was just the same)
[Google Pixel 5 Real Life Review] bobby janow:
Same here. First night stayed at 100% as well, then next day synced everything and lost 2%, last night with flip to shh on I lost 1% over close to 8 hours. First Pixel where I'm not hunting for a plug out during the day. I have exercise tracking software I use pretty much daily so SOT doesn't really pertain when it's activity tracking with screen off. But still getting around 5 hours taken into account.
[Google Pixel 5 Real Life Review] MrBelter:
Just to add my battery indicator drops how i would expect it to with usage, i am not seeing this stuck bug thing people are seeing.
[Google Pixel 5 Real Life Review] jimv1983:
Yeah, that's pretty bad. I haven't used AOD on my Pixel 5 but I remember testing it on my Pixel 2 XL when it was new and stand by tripled from 1/3% per hour to about 1% per hour. So yeah 2% does seem really bad.

[Google Pixel 5 Real Life Review] shinigami777:
fantastic result. How is Spotify using little energy there? for me it consumes the battery a lot.

In addition, the standby time is very poor. Not using the phone at all, maybe he could handle it Three days. And so it barely lasts 2 days out of 3h SOT if I'm lucky. Of course, I can achieve 8-10h SOT in one time but the standby kills the batteries in the long run.

[Google Pixel 5 Real Life Review] andrea.ippo:
Hi all, just wanted to report my less than ideal standby drain.

My Pixel 2 XL used to behave better as someone previously commented - I can 100% confirm this.

My P5 would usually use around 0.8/1.1%/h with hibernation time of roughly 80/90% during screen off (AccuBattery stats).

The average values might be skewed a bit since during the day I often listen to Spotify via my TWS buds, but at night the graph doesn't lie: it's quite visible that something's going on, as per screenshots.

Unfortunately I took them after this morning's quick refill, but you can still see clearly that when I put it on my night stand it was at ~50% and I woke up in the high 30s...

The line is not even close to being flat.

Where has all the nice work around doze gone?

Also, why is it so hard for Google to let us know precisely what is using all that energy?

Any tips?

I'm not rooted, no AOD and all my sensors are on - I don't want to babysit my battery.

With this setup I was getting better standby efficiency with my 2XL, I'm sure.

I've already reported this to Google with logs, hopefully some upcoming monthly patch will include some standby optimization 😔
[Google Pixel 5 Real Life Review] andrea.ippo:
I can answer myself, probably.

First evidence suggests that an app was at fault, "Leboncoin" (kind of a French Craigslist).

I couldn't stand this situation anymore, so I set up a local battery historian instance and inspected the graph. Turns out that this app was THE single major offender in terms of "App Processor wake-ups", followed by WhatsApp.

It provides an internal messaging feature to chat with buyers/sellers, I wonder if it's because of that... There were several processor wake ups logged even minutes (10+) after I last used it and turned the screen off.

Now the first night has gone by without the app (I uninstalled it as soon as I found these results), and here's the updated battery graph (attached).

I also re-took a dump and re-checked on battery historian, and now overnight the discharge rate is between 0.27 and 0.4 per hour, which is exactly what I expect it to be (got strong WiFi but cell service is rated as "poor" most of the time).

I've already reported this to the app publisher, and while they hopefully work on a fix, I can luckily use their website, works well enough.

Still, I feel like although Android has made huge progress in terms of battery usage, these cases show that there's still too much freedom for apps to misbehave without average users ever being able to find out.

User-facing stats provided by the OS are not detailed or effective enough. There is an entry saying "all your apps are behaving normally"; well in this case I would've expected that it said "misbehaving app detected", but it didn't.
[Google Pixel 5 Real Life Review] sruel3216:
Yeah it would be nice if the battery usage was more detailed. I get about 3-4% loss when I sleep 8 hours. AOD is much worse so I don't use it anymore.

Overall I love the battery life. I get about 35+ hours and 8 hours SOT on a single charge.

Glad you found the issue.
[Google Pixel 5 Real Life Review] dalelindley76:
For better battery life and standby drain turn off WiFi and Bluetooth scanning worked a treat for me hope this helps.
[Google Pixel 5 Real Life Review] Silencex33:
Coming from oneplus 7 pro since may and the battery with the pixel 5 is so much worse. I had about 3.5 hours screen on time with dark mode enabled, 5g disabled and AOD activated.

Accubattery says 2.1% standby drain per hour. Phone is getting pretty hot compared to the 7 pro.

The battery usage says that Snapchat depletes the most battery and I have already limited background activity for it.

Somehow it almost feels like it does not matter whether I used my phone much or not. The battery drains quite fast either way. Compared to my two year old OnePlus 7 pro it is worse.

Should I get a new phone? I can get easily a new pixel 5 because I bought it off Amazon.
[Google Pixel 5 Real Life Review] Molitro:
That kind of drain is almost always an app misbehaving.

In my case, my week old Pixel 5 is doing 8 and a half hours of (2:44) screen and listening to music and podcasts over 2 days with 2/3 of the battery.

Not bad at all.
