You re-enabled it but don't use it? I don't use it either, but I never even really opened it because I didn't want it. My standby drain right now is still horrible. Off a fresh install, while importing nothing except contacts and texts, imported no apps, no settings, and only installed 2 or 3 apps to get me "by" over the weekend (Relay for Reddit, untappd, Google Hangouts, Sleeper fantasy football app) and I was getting about 11-14 percent drain every night on wifi with the screen facing down (so the ambient display wouldn't be running).

I can't figure this out. Today I uninstalled the apps I had installed and It didn't fix the drain while at work. I left the house with 100% battery. Drove to work and have been at work all day on wifi. 37 minutes screen on time, and I'm down to 81 percent. It just doesn't seem right. My Pixel 2XL, whose battery was starting to fail, wouldn't do much better than this.

Already traded in 1 phone due to the faulty proximity sensor. I don't want to believe this is another hardware failure.

My standby drain is about 1% per hour since I turned off 5g. 5g was destroying the battery. Saturday I got about 10 hours SOT all on WIFI. In order to get that, you don't turn off the screen that much. Lol. I used to do that with my 2XL with a new battery.

Today all 4g LTE and no wifi.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Golf c:
That's not what I'm reading. 20% less battery then 4GLTE

Just Google it. Tons of sources.

Battery been awesome for me. I use mobile data at work as the wifi doesn't allow custom dns. Still getting around 2.5+ working days of battery life.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] dyingearth:
Someone in another thread mention the option Switch to mobile data automatically. If you're in an WiFi environment but with a very poor cell data connection, it will continually try making connection just in case your WiFi disconnected. This will drain your battery. Try turning that off.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Tel864:
There is definitely contrasting opinion on that. While Verizon's CEO agrees with you, real world tests don't. CNET's tests show conclusively that 5g affects battery life. My own experience in just the last few days since I've switched to Verizon and now getting 5g backs that up. I am definitely seeing less battery life now that I'm on 5g.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Morpherios:
Well over the last 2 days this is my usage. Now, I've gone about 29 hours I think? Since it was charged to full. Which obviously sounds like a lot. But I feel like if I so much as breathe on this thing I can watch the battery drain and drain.

I did only lose about 8 percent or so overnight this time from about 1130PM to about 6am. So that seems way better. Although keep in mind I have almost nothing installed on this phone.

I listened to a podcast on the way to work, about 50 minutes, screen off, and lost around 6-7 percent.

Am I being too picky? This is the first time I've ever bought a phone and wasn't immediately happy with the way it performed so I don't know if I'm just freaking myself out or what. Obviously if it's lasting almost 30 hours off charger that's good. But if I use it at all it tanks. I don't just mean "oh you're using it, it should be going down faster." I mean like 4-5 hours of screen on time in a day and I'm scrambling for a charger by the time I get home from work, under 20% left at 6pm tanks. I keep my brightness at half or less.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] 100rabh7791:
Well gone through your post entirely.

Please try these points or let me know if you have already

1) Disable wifi and bluetooth scanning (if turned on) in Location settings

2) Disable data always active option in Developer settings

3) If you aren't using 5g then swtich to Lte option in Network

4) Use Digital wellbeing feature to disable Always on display during your sleeping time

5) Disable Trace debbuing applications in System tracing > developer options.

Let me now if these helped
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Morpherios:
Thanks very much for the reply.

1) Already disabled

2) It's enabled so I can disable it, but a question. Doesn't that make the handoff from wifi calling/mobile calling or vice versa problematic?

3) I only have 4G through Verizon. I don't see anything really specific though in Network to force that issue. It should be noted that I have a Pixel I bought from Verizon and I haven't gotten the November update yet, which I heard was supposed to enable 5g on Verizon? Maybe that's why I don't see an option?

4) That's one I hadn't thought of. I actually had just opted out of Digital Wellbeing because I thought it would cause more drain. Is that not the case? If so I'll re-enable it and do this

5) I had not done this. It's done now.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] 100rabh7791:
2) It should't affect much. It does drain battery so try and see. If it doesn't cause any issue then good for you.

4) No i haven't found digital wellbeing draining battery anymore. It will save you good 4-6% night battery drain.

Your drain is mostly related to OS. So all these should eventually help with that. Let me know how it goes after a day or two.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
Are you on the November update and is your primary provider Verizon? I'm asking because it's been said the Nov update for Vzw makes changes to the 5G but I'm not sure since the update is not even out yet. But that aside, I've been kind of lurking here since it a "awful battery" thread and my battery is very far from awful. But I'll chime in now since I've had it for a couple of weeks.

Since the Nexus 5 I haven't had a Google device that I could last all day with without hunting for a mid day charge. Until the P5 that is. I don't usually pay attention to SOT since a lot of my battery is used with screen off, i.e. music, activity tracking etc. but for clarity sake I did look at it the past few nights before plugging in. I had about 50+% left each night with about 4 hours SOT. I charge while doing my final emails up to 100% and then unplug for the night. Night 1 I lost 2% overnight, night 2 1% and last night 1% which read off on BBS as 0.1% / hour and 0.2%. I've never seen that consistently as I do now. I have yet to charge the device during the day as a matter of principal now since I want to see how things go. I use BBS to monitor my alarms and partial wakelocks overnight.

I do not have 5G because I am using dual sims and that's a no no. I'm mostly on wifi (about 70%) of the day and everything from my P4 was ported on initial setup. I've not changed anything in system settings and I still have on flip to shh at night which I do. Wellbeing has a couple of policies such as starred contacts allowed but that's it. Night light until 6a but with screen off at night it hardly matters. If you want me to look as any setting let me know but as I said it's mostly default stuff.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Morpherios:
Ok, so with those changes made, while I haven't had time to tax it for screen on, the standby definitely seems better. I went to bed last night With around 27%, and deciding to chance it because I was curious how it would do, I woke up to about 20%. The first night I also lost about 7% or so. So the standby drain does seem better.

I still feel like I can watch the battery drain while the screen is on, but I guess I'll have to look more carefully. This weekend is probably the earliest chance for a good day of screen usage. Obviously I know the "lower" screen usage here is just due to the fact that I was able to go so long without charging the phone.

Pics attached.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Morpherios:
Primary provider is Verizon. I haven't gotten the November update yet. That's probably why I don't have any toggles or options for 5g. I wonder if just having that update would help sort some things out.

I'm going to push this thing a little more with screen time going into the weekend to see what I find out but I might take you up on the settings thing afterwards if things seem odd.

One thing though specifically, your idle drain overnight is incredible. I don't think I would get 1-2% overnight even on a fresh factory reset with no apps installed. It's amazing it's that good. I'm getting about 7% overnight right now.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
I can get the 5G icon if I disable my eSim but I don't believe it's really 5g until we get that update. But I'm not in an area that has ultra 5G so it's really hard to tell. As for overnight drain I'm simply astounded. Full disclosure last night it dropped to 98% which was 0.3% / hour but even so... I would consider this a aberration if not for the fact that I have yet to plug the phone in during the day. I've gotten to the point of putting my chargers, of which I have close to a dozen, in the drawer. I just hope it holds up. If it does my wife is getting a black Friday early Christmas gift.

Battery Usage

Hi I'm just going to show a screenshot of my battery usage here and if anyone could possibly add there thoughts and comments it would be appreciated.

I have added it as an attachment, because being a total idiot I cant seem to paste the image.

I have seen previous threads and suggestions, but just wanted to add that I did transfer data and apps from my old phone, so this may be the reason for the battery life not being as good as I expected.

Thank you in advance
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] bigbamboo5:
I'm using 70% over 24 hours (from 85% charge down to 15%) with what I would call 'medium use'. Not much video, mostly on wifi, AOD off at night. That doesn't seem even close to what I was expecting, but I may have been carried away by all the 'stellar battery life' reviews. What do you think?
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] nchesh:
I was wondering if it was just me. How did you turn the AOD of at night?
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] bigbamboo5:
Digital Wellbeing - Bedtime Mode.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] nchesh:
Ok thanks I'll have a look
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] 100rabh7791:
Your Wifi strength and Singal are not the best. This could be a cause for some drain as well. Anyway how is your phone holding up after the tweaks?
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] dyingearth:
Data Always drains your battery if you are in a poor cell data reception area. It will continuously try to scan for better tower, which if you're at home is just going to drain your battery.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Morpherios:
Generally my wifi strength should be very high, because Monday through Friday I spend 9 hours at work literally 10 feet from the router, and at home it's a 1 floor 2 bedroom apartment and it's centrally located so always at least average signal at worst. Cell service admittedly is not great at either location.

So far this weekend I went to bed yesterday at about 47 percent left and I had around 3 hours and 30 minutes of screen time, so it was on pace for about 7 hours which seems to be on target or maybe a hair behind others but like you said, with funky cell signal could make up that's difference.

I knew this weekend was going to tell me a better story since I was more likely to be using my phone during the day since I wasn't at work. so it was going to give me a better idea of screen time throughout an entire day rather than during the week where I might be able to go a day and a half on a full charge but only because I wasn't using the phone as much.

I don't think I can be upset at all about those numbers I'm seeing so far. I took the phone off charge yesterday morning at about 6:30 a.m. I went to bed around 11:00 or 11:30, and like I said I still had about 47% battery left with about three and a half hours screen time. I left the phone off charge overnight expecting to be able to roll right into today but I forgot to set digital well-being to turn always on display off on the weekends. So I woke up to about 30% battery. But that was my fault.

I still don't have all of my apps we added to my phone, but I've been gradually adding some back as I go just so I can kind of take measure if any of them seems to make a difference in drain. But so far nothing seems to be tipping that scale.

Again I appreciate your suggestions and efforts. If anything funky happens I'll be sure to let you know.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] 100rabh7791:
It definitely is your signal adding to the drain but the numbers looks pretty good still.

You should install all the apps one thing you can do is restrict certain apps background usage. This usually prevents them from randomly draining battery in the background when you are not using it. That should help as well.

Long press on the icon > Tap on app info > Advanced > Battery > Background restriction.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] mainTAP:
I've also had an overnight battery drain over 30%, it happened twice and both times I didn't stay at my place and the phone wasn't connected to the wifi. The phone was quite warm in the morning which is normally not the case.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Morpherios:
Literally at my wit's end with this phone. It has the worst battery life oif any phone I've had in any sort of recent memory and I don't understand why. I'm now over a month since the last message, have factory reset, i don't get it.

I struggle to go beyond 4 hours screen time after the phone is off charge 12 hours. If I take it off charge at 630am when I get up for work, by the time I go to bed at about 1030 I've already had to charge it and by the time I do i usually have between 3 and 4 hours screen time. Today, off charge at 730 am. 4 hours screen time, at 1020 I have 32 percent left. I didn't use GPS, took maybe 5 pictures, been on WiFi for all but about 3 hours.

Am I nuts? Am I expecting too much? My wife's 2 year old pixel 3 XL is doing better than my brand new pixel 5. I'm past the return period from Verizon. I'm absolutely hating this phone and regretting my decision to stay with a Pixel.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
Install BBS https://xdaforums.com/t/app-2-2-05-oct-v2-4-betterbatterystats.1179809/ paying special attention to post #4 installing on an unrooted device. You'll need those permissions. Then run it and check it overnight and during the day for alarms, partial wakelocks, network and cpu. Something is draining your battery and you will need to find out what. Maybe you got a lemon and need to exchange it. But first determine what is happening. Asking for help without knowing these things is pointless, no one knows what is happening without having your device in hand or seeing some data.

Most are saying this is the best phone, battery wise, they have ever received from Google. I'm in that camp. Overnight drain is rarely over 2% in 8 hours and most often 1% and sometimes 0%. Everything is running stock. I don't turn anything off although I put it to sleep face down with only starred contacts allowed to interrupt. I don't pay attention to SOT because I run most of my daily stuff with screen off like Strava, Sirius, podcasts etc. When I do check it's about 4 hours at the end of the day with around 35 - 40% left. I've yet to plug my phone in during the day unless I'm transferring something to my computer. That's about what you should be getting according to most reports I've seen. Good luck.

edit: sorry should have said I'm on wifi most of the day and LTE when I go out. I don't get 5G since I have dual sim. I'll be curious once they enable 5G on DSDS.

[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Polybof:
I was at same point... Very bad stand-by. I have installed BBS and realized that my Bluetooth got thousands of alarms so my phone never turned in sleep mode. Always awake. Turning off Bluetooth yesterday and I got great standby.

So now I need to understand if my garmin watch or the French covid app is the root cause...

Anyway, now I know the phone is good, and my set-up need to be adjusted! Thanks.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
That was always one of the things that bugged me and drained my battery. Awake with screen off under summary. I sometimes had a hard time determining what was doing it but digging down into BBS usually showed me. You can always get a log file as per the OP and submit it in the forum. They are very good about analyzing it with a lot of experts willing to help.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Morpherios:
So I figured I'd post up an update, as it took me a long time but I figured out what the issue was. It isn't exactly "corrected" so to speak, but I've isolated the problem.

BBS did help shed light on it, but it wasn't overly apparent for a long time. Long story short, it was bluetooth. I have a tile tracker that's built into a device called a Keysmart, which is a sort of key organizer, and they released a model that was partnered with Tile. I had this for a long time, and used it with my Pixel 2 XL for well over a year before I got my Pixel 5 with no issues.

It works similarly in a bluetooth pairing way to a smart watch. There's an app, and it has to stay connected via bluetooth. BBS wasn't overly clear that bluetooth was doing the draining, it wasn't listing a ton of wakelocks, and my in-laws both have pixel 5s with smart watches connected with no issues, so I didn't anticipate a problem.

After weeks of watching BBS and searching, I finally started seeing minimal bluetooth wakelocks pop up here and there. Never consistent, but occasional. On a hunch I turned off bluetooth for 2 days. My phone's standby must have doubled, literally. I kept bluetooth off for about a week just to make sure it wasn't a fluke. There was one period where I got 48 hours off charge with almost 8 hours screen on time.

I turned bluetooth back on but specifically deleted the Tile app and did not pair the tracker, and the good results continued. I've since installed tile and paired the tracker, and the standby drain has returned.

I'm not sure if there's anything I can do to remedy the problem with the battery drain, but honestly just to have a phone with great battery life again, it's a worthwhile tradeoff even if I can't figure out the solution to make the Tile work.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] xunholyx:
If it was me personally, I'd keep the app uninstalled. See if you can find an alternative that isn't a battery hog
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] jimv1983:
I'm actually more surprised that you don't see big battery drains when connect to bluetooth devices for other phones and devices. Being connected to a Bluetooth device 24/7 is a huge battery drain.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Morpherios:
If it wasn't for my in-laws using their fitbits and not having an issue, and also having the Pixel 2 XL using the tile, I probably would have been more keen on looking at that as the culprit from the beginning because I would have assumed the same.

I'm keeping the app uninstalled and just writing it off as a tradeoff.

As a sidenote, during this whole process I had turned off the "always on display", just trying to minimize battery drain. I've just turned it back on today and it's obviously taking a bit of a hit, which is disappointing but I guess it's expected. I hate not having a notification about a text that's always visible without waking the phone.

I guess it's what I have to deal with. Still better than it was.

[Huawei MatePad Pro Questions & Answers] Seresseran1:
if you have wifi version of matepad pro (like me) to find the Base software version, you have to use the "calculator" program.

Use parathesis instead of asterisks and square symbol. I found this information very diffucult.

I have succesfully downgraded my matepad pro from 10.1.0.180 to 10.1.0.131.

---------- Post added at 01:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:12 PM ----------

Use the "Huawei Firmware Finder" app. You can use it on PC or on your tablet. 10.1.0.131 version downgraded my tablet. I think versions higher than 10.1.0.150 will not work with Googlefier.

After you find the approved firmware, you can use Hisuite and Hisuiteproxy to downgrade. Mine succesfully downgraded, but after downgrade, tablet booted 3 times and said "Data partition corrupt" and "low level format" required. But after format booted up normally. Do not panic and wait. All your data will be lost. Make a backup if you have important files.
