Activate "Background restriction" for the apps you're not using very often. I've got TikTok and the XDA app restricted among a few others. Then if the issue persists, do the same for more of them until the battery life gets better. After that the last restricted apps, or the more recent ones are causing the issue and you go and unrestrict the other ones, although unless it's an app that strictly requires to run in the background to keep you updated and such, having the background restriction on is not bad at all.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Biggenz:
I've always had big phones and became fed up with the bulkiness of carrying the things around. I've always wanted a Pixel from day one but the quirky design and quite frankly ugliness of the range has stopped me. Until now that I think the design is perfect with thin symmetrical borders all around and cheap price point compared to other flagships.

I've come from most recently a Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra which is a beast. What I find refreshing though is that the Pixel doesn't have a million different options and configurable features. Most of what you'll never use anyway. I love that the camera is still great even though the hardware really is sub-par for today's standards. The battery life is amazing. I haven't really noticed any difference between the permanent 120Hz refresh rate of my Xiaomi and the 'sometimes' 90Hz of the Pixel. The smaller size and weight are the biggest advantage for me and I just love the smaller form factor. The bottom speaker quality is good although the top speaker for calls are pretty pants to be honest. Not that I make many calls anyway.

All in all I don't regret moving over one bit and I think Google got it spot on.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] alphasports:
I have a 7T and Pixel 3 but I just ordered a 5 since the sage green one just came up as "available again" this morning (Jan 17). They'll give me $150 bucks trade on the 3 so I took that even though the phone is worth more than that...it's got a few scratches that would make it a PITA to sell locally.

Anyway, I have considered selling the OP7T but I will keep it as a bigger phone that I know I'll miss if I just keep the 5. OP really has the ultimate Android OS, so much good stuff in there, that I really hope they jump on the compact-phone bandwagon sooner rather than later.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] rickysidhu_:
Alright so I have taken your guys' advice on battery optimization, and here are my results (attached).

Battery SOT

8.5 hours of SOT!

I think that is a personal record for battery endurance for me. Restricted a bunch of apps, keep brightness a little over 50% but not max, and used Tasker to go from 90Hz to 60Hz in several apps that don't really need it (i.e. YouTube, Netflix, or other apps that don't really have much need for UI navigation).

Idle

I have also attached a screenshot from BBS, showing stats during sleep overnight. I'm getting less than 1% drain per hour overnight, and this was done with the help of Tasker.

If anyone is interested, what I have done is set my profile trigger to be my device orientation being face down. Once it is, then battery saver will kick in, along with extreme battery saver. Since I have Wi-Fi Calling enabled, I can turn on Airplane mode as well, to disable more radios overnight.

I also use an app called "Naptime" to allow Doze to kick in faster, and that app also disables my device's location during Doze as well.

All of this combined, led me from 1.5%-2% idle drain, down to 0.4%-0.8% idle drain!

Current Pixel 5 Thoughts

Apologies as this isn't originally a battery life thread, so I will share my current, additional thoughts as well, after being on the Pixel 5 from the OnePlus 8 Pro for some time now.

I have definitely grown used to the screen size, and I think the slim, symmetrical borders is mainly why. It really helps make the screen seem it's not as small as it actually is.

Viper4Android has helped with the poor top speaker (didn't improve the top speaker, but improved the bottom one enough to be satisfied).

Camera, feel in hand, volume rocker on the same side are all great (hated the OnePlus volume rocker placement as it caused so many accidental screenshots).

Overall very happy with this and I'd find myself surprised if the OnePlus 9 Pro is able to win me back over. The camera would need to be a very aggressive competitor to the Pixel for me to even consider going back.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ducter:
Sure wish you were having that luck, having done nothing. Mines great out the box, guess it's just differences in how we use our phones. At least you've gotten it where you're liking it so good on you.

Just an observation...I haven't touched my OnePlus 6t since, hell a day or so after getting the pixel 5, today I did. The phones huge, heavy, like wielding a lethal brick. I think my progression to larger phones was over time, basically skipping those incremental steps today and just picking up the larger phone, I do not at all miss it. So there's that, whatever it's worth to whomever lol.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] xxBrun0xx:
I made a similar switch yesterday. Have been rocking a OnePlus 8 for over 6 months and I don't use a case. Really my only complaints were camera and ergonomics. While I loved the size, I hated how slippery it was. Tried skins and thin cases but was never happy. I also had funky network issues. Picked up a pixel 5 last night and have been immediately impressed with how much grip the body of the phone has. I bought and resold a pixel 4a during my stint with the OnePlus 8. Hated how cheap the plastic back felt and how small the screen was. This pixel 5 fixes both of those complaints. Really enjoying it so far!

Edit: forgot to mention, flat screen! Prior to the OnePlus 8, I had a 7 pro. I never really had accidental touches, but curved screens are hard to hold on some positions for due to not having any flat sides to grip. I understand why the industry is moving back to flat screens!
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] alphasports:
OK to follow up on my post quoted here, I've been using the Pixel 5 for a week or so and gotta say I'm pretty happy with it. I am a 2-phone guy so my OP7T remains the other one when I feel like using a big phone for a change. The 5 is better in almost every way than my previous Pixel 3: screen is waaaay better/brighter/bigger, compact form factor is still great (I love smaller phones), battery is a huge improvement, resin covered case is cool/durable even though I still use cases on the phone (I find the resin is still pretty slippery especially in cold weather). That's about it, it's a good upgrade IMO. I will miss the 3's dual front cams but whatever...that's offset by the duals on the back that the 3 didn't have. CHeers
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Biggenz:
Strange that you've had to jump through hoops to get acceptable battery life whereas I've done nothing to mine and get nearly 8h of SOT with 50% battery left. I can sometimes go 3 days without a charge.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] rickysidhu_:
Yeah, it is what it is I guess. And I probably would have done all that stuff even if I had good battery life from the get-go, just to see how much more I could churn out so no issue for me!
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] dragos281993:
Just passed the 10h SOT mark. Light usage that is, but still.

We haven't got that in the UK and all the other ones from other countries do not have the a51 5g as it is not sold there, only the a51. they have completely different hardware so they probably won't get it at the same time

Hi everyone,

I'm upgrading from an Hermes, originally an italian WM5 then upgraded to WWE WM6. On this device, you would type accented letters by tiping the letter, then the function key, then the spacebar. The vowel would automatically change to the accented variant ("e" to "è", "é" and so on).

Now I bought a WWE Raphael, where FN+space has other functions (that I don't really need). Is there any way to restore the italian TyTN way of typing?

Thanks!

Unfortunately, I have a different keyboard layout, so it doesn't work for me. Not until the developer of the application maps the SYM key to something else.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] santiargy:

The mobylnaut application I point to in the previous post would be a solution for this problem, if only I knew how to make the Sym key work as a standalone key, instead of the way it works on the FUZE keyboard. Does anyone know how to do that? HELPPP

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] njan_ivide:
I was in search of the best case for the fold 2 but like you all know, the form factor is very limiting when it comes to finding a good and functional case. I finally bought the spigen slim Armor case. It's a bit bulky for sure but the protection is really good. But there were 2 issues for me, one: the material is just a soft touch plastic, which I felt didn't do justice to the premium feel of the phone. Second: when closed, the hinge protection piece is tensioned by a spring mechanism, so it covers the hinge when closed (you could search the case in youtube to see how it works). But it's not very strong and is very easy to lift it up. Few days back I was in a hurry, I tried to lift the phone off of a table (in closed position), my fingers accidently pushed on the hinge flap and it opened, I couldn't grab the phone and it slid off of my hand onto the floor (well that's how I knew it provided good protection any ways).

So I set to solve these 2 issues and here is what I came up with.

I cut a thin sheet of leather to the diamentions of the back of the case and extended it all the way over the hinge flap. So luxury material is "Done" and because the leather covers the separation (back and front pieces into one) there is no gap when closed. When opened the leather just rolls under the flap. You would think it must have become too thick to hold, well I chose the thinnest leather so it doesn't really add that much bulk, but the feel in hand is amazing and its really grippy. Also its a MUST for the leather to be thin enough for it to roll under the flap as there isn't much room under there when the phone is opened.

I really don't know if I explained it well. Take a look at the pics attached and Let me know if you have questions.
