If I turn off Adaptive Connectivity, it would just stay on LTE and won't switch between 5g (setLTE is my preferred network),3g,2g?

how about "Allow 2G", do I need this on and would turning it off save battery? it read

'Use 2G mobile connections. For emergency calls, 2G is always turned on.'
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MrBelter:
Isn't the point of adaptive connectivity to keep the phone on 4G unless 5G is absolutely necessary?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
No, that's not how adaptive connectivity works. Your phone will always prefer the highest tier network available (as long it get's a signal).
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MrBelter:
According to Google (which is why i asked the question)

Adaptive Connectivity turns on 5G only when your app needs increased speed, like when you stream or download videos.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] minun:
So what happens when you have it set to LTE over 5G but it is near 5G, with adaptive connectivity off, it should stay on LTE right?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
Interesting, never heard of that. Well, considering that the experience of users has been that the phone is constantly going 5G and draining the battery like crazy, the "feature" clearly seems broken, especially since Google doesn't specific what "need[ed] speed" means. It's probably a kb/s, mb/s thing-y, but the trigger is - apparently - far too low and gets activated even when there is no "demanding" app running.

Google should give us the ability to manually change the trigger, meaning to increase/decrease the MB/s threshold when Adaptive Connectivity kicks in with 5G.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MrBelter:
Since this feature became available I've always just assumed the phone indicated what network was available to you, not what it was actually using. I have tried adaptive connectivity on and off since it became available on my Pixel 5 and so far i have not seen any difference in battery life when it is active or not, this has followed on with my P6P. I have no 5G coverage and mediocre 4G coverage at home. My network also disallows the network selection so i have to rely on this to do its stuff, the battery life on my Pixel 5 was unbelievable and it isn't what I'd call rubbish on my P6P, it only loses 2% overnight.

Clearly this is only my experience, i am not saying anyone is right or wrong in their findings.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Here's the Play Store description, for what it's worth:

"Adaptive Connectivity Services improves the connectivity experience by adapting to real time device conditions in a power and performance-efficient manner.

It detects and resolves connectivity issues, optimizes Wi-Fi and mobile data switching to maintain the best connection while maximising (sic) power efficiency."

The goal is to ensure the “best connection,” while keeping power usage in check.

From what people are saying (I don't use 5G) is that b/c of the modem (and maybe software?), people using 5G are getting horrible battery life, so turning off Adaptive Connectivity will help prevent the phone from switching to 5G when it is available or needed.

The way I understand it, though, is that if you have your preferred network type set at 4G/LTE with Adaptive Connectivity disabled then it will always stay at 4G/LTE. If you have your preferred network type set at 4G/LTE with Adaptive Connectivity enabled it will use 5G only in the circumstances you described above. If you have your preferred network type set at 5G with Adaptive Connectivity disabled it will always use 5G when available. If you have your preferred network type set at 5G with Adaptive Connectivity enabled, then it will use 5G unless the circumstances dictate (power and connectivity aspects) it should use 4G/LTE.

Mind you, this is just how I read into everything. I could be completely off-base 🙃
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] spr33:
Is that 2% from 100% though?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MrBelter:
indeed it is.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] spr33:
Battery drain from 100-95% (and possibly 90%) is much slower than drain from below that. Drain isn't linear on the Pixel 6 phones.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MrBelter:
And yet it was exactly the same on my Pixel 5, my OnePlus 7t and to be honest every recent smartphone i can remember that i have owned. If i just leave it and don't bother to charge it then it loses around 6% to 8% overnight. I have always just assumed this is because the phone has been running and things are already doing their stuff in the background, after you take it off charge its been in deep sleep and its got a clean slate to start from.

No lithium based battery discharges in a linear fashion, if it did you would see a constant and predictable drop of energy from it. They discharge in such a way that they give as much as they can for as long as they can which is why they just give up the ghost as they near an indicated 0% rather than fade out like other battery types. To say it discharges slower at certain capacities just doesn't seem right somehow.

Again this only what i think based on what i have seen over the years, it clearly does not make it right and i am more than happy to be shown evidence to the contrary so I'm not making a fool of myself in the future.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] spr33:
To clear up what I said, the OS shows a slower discharge* (I wasn't saying that the battery discharges slower at certain capacities but it did read that way).
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] jimv1983:
Even 0.5% per hour for the Pixel 6 Pro isn't that good and 0.75% per hour seems to be typical. When my Pixel 5 was new it had a stand by drain of 0.5% per hour and that's with a 18% smaller battery than the Pixel 6 Pro. Even the Pixel 5 was bad compared to my Pixel 2 XL. When that phone was new it had a stand by drain or 0.333% per hour with a battery that was 14% smaller than the Pixel 5 and 30% smaller than the Pixel 2 XL.

If you break it down to mA per hour for stand by you get:

Pixel 6 Pro: 37.5mA per hour

Pixel 5: 20.4mA per hour

Pixel 2 XL: 11.7mA per hour
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
Since the P6 has a mighty and power hungry flagship processor that is not nearly as efficient as that midrange gimper from the P5, that comparison will always disappoint. You compare an apple to a banana.

I believe that the P6 idle drain is still worse than need be, meaning Google should be able to slightly tone it down with patches, but it will be never as good as a midrange Qualcomm variant.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] jimv1983:
Even comparing the mid-range SD 765G to the Tensor it still makes the Tensor look bad. I'm not saying a high end processor should be more efficient than a mid range one but come on, the Tensor stand by drain is almost DOUBLE what it is on the SD 765G.

And what about the Pixel 2 XL? That had the SD 835 which was a very high end processor at the time. It was the best you could get in an Android phone at the time. So in that case we are comparing a high end processor from today to a high end processor from FOUR years ago. A high end processor today should be MORE efficient than a high end processor from FOUR years ago. Instead the stand by drain of the Tensor is close to FOUR times higher than the stand by drain of the old SD 835. That's just pathetic.

Or maybe you want to compare the Pixel 6 Pro's stand by drain to what is probably it's closest current competition, the SD 888 version of the Galaxy S21 Ultra. Both have a top of the line processor and a 5,000mAh battery. The S21 Ultra has significantly better stand by drain than the Pixel 6 Pro and that's even with the S21 Ultra's huge disadvantage of having much less efficient software (One UI is horrible with power efficiency).

Oh and that is all based on being on wifi. Due to the Pixel 6's awful Exynos 5123 the gap grows much bigger when not on wifi.

Software updates COULD help some but they never do. Just look at Google's history with that. Google has claimed many times that an update (both major releases and monthly updates) was supposed to improve battery life. I've had Google phones for the last 8 years and never has that claim ever turned out to be true. Even the big claims like "Adaptive Battery" in Android 9 and "Project Volta" in Android 5. Both are total failures.

The kind of power inefficiency issues the Tensor and Exynos modem have are very unlikely to fix the power inefficiency issues with the Tensor and Exynos modem. Especially considering Google's poor history.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Alekos:
at this doubling rate, the pixel 7 will use 70-80mA per hour. sounds right to me.

It took the Pixel 4 series 2 Android updates to fix the battery issues. Updating to Android 12 and doing a factory reset on a 4XL makes it one of the best phones. at least 6 or more SoT on a 2 year old battery. pretty great. pretty crappy it took that long.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] selayan:
Was there another solution other than uninstalling companion phone app? I am on the December update and factory reset over a week ago. Don't have many apps installed either and my idle drain is around 2-3% an hour at times. I use always on display but have used that on my other phones too without issue. 5G enabled and all features by default on except bluetooth and wifi scanning.

I could really improve my screen time past the max of 4hrs and 30 minutes if this idle drain wasn't so high. I don't know what else to try.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Root and custom kernel such as CleanSlate, although I had long battery life on the stock kernel as well.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] selayan:
Hmm I have not done that since the Nexus 6. I also have work apps that are installed in the work profile and my company does not allow rooted phones. I get money just having my work's email app installed and opening it once a month.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] mojorisin7178:
so this i definitely a big issue. I dint realize that this has been going on this long. I have a p6 on fi. There have been so many issues that i didn't notice this one till recently. I have had every pixel on fi for years. My wife has had the the same except she started with my nexus 6p then she had used my old device till the 3a came out so currently she in on the 5a 5g. My point for this is to say we have lived in the same place for years and worked in the same place for years. Out of all these devices there has not been a problem with mobile network draining the battery with the exception of my pixel 6. So this is definitely a device specific issue I hope can be fixed with a software update. I don't think that getting a new phone is the solution. My pixel 5 on android 12 throughout all the betas and the stable release did not have this problem.

With all that said i expected there to be more issues than normal with the 6 because of the drastic hardware redesign. so for me i am going to wait for a few months to see if they issue an update that fixes this. I don't want to go through sending my phone in for rma or anything i see google clearly knows about the issue. I am confident that they will work nit out. I would suggest that everyone do the same make a report on the issue tracker and talk about it here on xda ( google definitely has someone monitoring these forums because the best of the best are here)

Good luck to everyone and thank you to all the knowledgeable devs and contributors here on xda.

edit: I just noticed that this is a p6 pro forum and i have the regular p6 sorry for posting here. anyway it seems to be the same issue p6 or p6 pro so most of what i said is still relevant here. again sorry about that.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] RetroTech07:
I honestly don't think they're going to fix mobile data; the modem they chose to go with is very inefficient and drains power more than it should. I have a work device that is a pixel 4a; and hardly, if ever do I see "mobile network standby" as a listed component of battery drain, more than I do on my P6P.

We'll just have to wait for a new phone this year to see if they swap modems or not, and if they do I'd most likely swap my phone for a refresh if the specs are a bit better. It bothers me more because this is my first major upgrade since the 2XL, and then the battery is a big let down.

Just last week my phone had over 48hrs mostly in standby and not on wifi, which is odd because I typically have to charge once 24hrs hits. Idk how that happened, but it's possible for this phone to do well on mobile network.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] mojorisin7178:
Even Samsung uses Qualcomm modems in their us varients. A few years ago from what I read that was because of the LTE not working right with Samsung's modems. But by now they should have had that figured out
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 400ixl:
The Mobile Network Standby number in my experience is a total red herring and pretty much irrelevant.

When the phone first came out and on the November release it was reading anywhere between 7-12% over 24 hours, after the December release it was showing 12-30% and after the January release 30-40%. Over all of that time the actual amount of battery use on the phone as a whole over 24 hours has not changed at all. Accubattery has not recorded any difference in the amount of deep sleep, hourly battery % used or any other metric over that period.

It really isn't a number worth paying any attention to and appears to no indicator of anything as far as true battery drain goes.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] mojorisin7178:
I have to agree with you on one thing. The pixel 2xl had a great standby/overnight discharge rate. Most of the time 1% if that even.

But none thing i do want to point out and this could be totally irrelevant but the pixel 5 ran on a mid range Qualcomm processor like the a series pixels. Those CPUs we're less power hungry right? So wouldn't that figure into all this?

And also I use a chargie to keep my battery in good condition. I am experiencing this mobile network drain between 30-40% but last night infell.asleep.on my couch and didn't have my phone plugged in. I went to bed at 4am and my wife's alarm went off at 6 I went to check my phone and it was completely dead. That has never happened 5hst quick before and I can't find what caused it. Anyway I charged my phone and now my mobile network is still high but like 11% not 30. I wonder if letting it die reset the battery stats or something.

Samsung used to call this setting "Video Enhancer. More recently, it has started calling it "Video Brightness". Basically, it increases the brightness and saturation of videos played in certain apps, such as Netflix and Youtube.

Is there a way to get this working with /other/ apps, specifically YouTube VANCED, or even streaming videos through a browser *cough*. It seems like such a simple function is overly restricted - one ought to be able to add more apps, - and no-one really talks about it in any depth...

yeah some parts are a bit annoying. like viewing the timestamp of a text was sent a couple of days ago. haven't quite figured that one yet. the other thing is the performance hit with threaded sms, as well as when the keyboard pops up combined with the area to write in, not much space is left to see the previous message anyways. maybe i should turn it off....haha...

I just picked up a new TV (made in 2021) with Mirrorlink support, but it has come to my attention that Google removed support for this in Android 9 (i think) in favor of Chromecast. Does anyone know what would be involved into implementing Mirrorlink support in Android 12 (possibly in the cast screen section like it used to work), or even with a separate APK? I have some Java programming experience if it necesary to get this working. If it matters I am using a Google Pixel 4a with 5G.
