Still having great battery life on mine with a good number of days where the phone is still in the 60% range at bedtime so i'm not bothering to charge it, my Pixel 6 Pro never managed that.

Phone is stock as it came out of the box and i copied the data across from my P6P using the lead.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Ricardo_G:
are you root? because the standard version doesn't in my P7P

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] AngelNine:
I unfortunately upgraded to the beta right after I bought my smartphone.

That's why I can't say if it's better than before, but it's certainly not worse, I get to my 7-9 display on time.

And of course I still have no bugs or other errors, runs everything in the beta for me flawlessly :)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] vlubosh:
For me is beta better.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] mwatson:
What improvements have you seen?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] vlubosh:
Hm, cant compare, cause i see no differences between this two builds, but you can find somewhere changelog. Only battery drain is lower in qpr beta.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Abdu55799:
for me too.. glad i update to beta
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Shumitu:
My stats, 1080p and 120Hz, WiFi + some 4G and 13% battery left.

Overall I think I am happy with it, with my current usage I am able to get 5.5-6.5h SOT.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
This was a pretty heavy use day today.

Note that I had access to wifi all day other than a couple speed tests on 5G and LTE as I got a new service. There was some gaming in here care of Words With Friends 2 and some slot games.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] SonnyKrockett:
That over 8 hrs SoT?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
Yes but only about 15 1/2 hours total unplugged. Still though, better than I would have expected. Those games, and especially the ads they force you to watch, are a battery drain.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] gigaboss:
I think my phone is not going in deep sleep enough, any suggestions?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
My first relatively bad day of battery life today. But I have been out and about in London with a lot of camera use and the phone searching for a signal whilst on the underground. On 48% with around 2.5 hours of SOT.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] problem_child:
hey all

a small hint from here:

the thing that got me to a relatively normal battery life was to ask my carrier to enable CGNAT (basically make my phone not get a public IP - I had this enabled at the time due to business VPN not working over hotspot).... The reasoning is logical: when you have a public IP then your phone is directly exposed to the internet - meaning the things your carrier usually catches up on firewall - you get on your phone - which of course drains your battery no matter anything.

to make things more funny: I went through google pixel 6 pro, OnePlus 9 Pro, Samsung s22 ultra and the iphone 14 pro max - never got even close to the claimed battery life. I got an aha moment when I handed over the old gp 6 pro to the gf - she had normal battery life :)

Anyhow, the pixel is my daily driver - a result of this rather long 'quest' for a perfect phone (as you see from this history)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] liver20:
Kirisakura

All with 4g/5g

.. No wifi

Amazing
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
Busy day. WiFi most of it, but was out for a couple of hours on data too. Not bad at all
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Nemesis_FF:
First day with the Pixel.

-Full HD

-60 Hz

-manuel brightness

-mostly wlan
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] piotrkruczek:
A13, Q1PR3

Got some stats from my experience - what I can tell - idle drain is mostly affected by Google/Google Assistant being constantly ON in the background and listening.

My setup:

- LTE 99% of the time

- 60 Hz, Full HD

- black themes with Themer 12+

- black wallpaper

- Nova Launcher

- Universal GMS Doze (Magisk Module)

- Warden App - (Nuke it! option activated - got rid of some measurements and analytics)

Usage

- bluetooth for 2-3 hours

- approx. 2 hours of car sharing with location and tracking on Maps

- some YouTube/Vanced, YouTube Music

- browsing with Kiwi Browser (mostly dark themed websites)

- lots of Messenger, bits of Instagram and Whatsapp

- ~ 10-15 pictures taken with long exposure
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] dudekk602:
I dont know if i got unlucky but life battery in my P7P is really poor. I did copy from my 2year old Pixel 4a and used it the same way and i hardly achieve one day on one charging.

I went to office at 8:00am with 100% and 8 hours later i got around 50% battery left. My SOT during work hours was around 2 hours. When I got back home I've been chatting a bit on socials and around 10pm have to charge it with around 4h SOT. No games, no high-draining apps, just some eamils, calls, insta, whatsapp, almost all day on WI-FI with FHD at 120Hz and automatic brightness. My friend the same day in similiar conditions got around 7,5h SOT. Factory reset won't help, battery is living own life. Google support told me about sending them bug report which I did but I would be pleased with replacement or even return..

Is there anyone out with similar experience with 7 Pro?

PS. In battery managining menu there's no strange apps or processes that could drain battery
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] piotrkruczek:
- 5G turned on or bad signal reception?

- Instagram / Messenger / Whatsapp / Facebook background activity?

- Find my device and constant location on?

- always on display?

Just giving couple of hints.

PS. Not a big fan of copying from older devices. Backup in cloud and then just install like a brand new.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] dudekk602:
1) i have just turned 5G off - don't know if it's gonna actually work in Poland where i live

2) no background activities

3) location always on, same as in 4a

4) AOD off

5) i have also turned off google assistant

About copying from older devices - about week ago I did factory reset and install only essentials but it didn't help at all
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] piotrkruczek:
I do live in Poland as well. 5G doesn't give you any benefits except draining battery - doesn't matter whether you live in Warsaw or smaller city.

Also - if you're on WI-FI mostly - I would suggest to turn off Mobile Data Always Active in developer settings. Also adaptive connectivity might do the trick.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] dudekk602:
Okey, so i switched from 5G to LTE and disabled Mobile Data Always Active

Will see :)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
When you factory reset won't help, did you do that or are you assuming? Would be the firs thing I'd do and don't copy over data from another phone
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] dudekk602:
No, no, after first boot on the day I got phone I have copied data from old 4a. But after couple days I knew there's something wrong with the battery. Then, I did factory reset with no copying but there was no improvement in battery life
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
Yup, sounds like you need to return. I have a feeling that may apply to others too judging by this thread, hence why I wonder if Google have an issue with quality control with this phone.

I was debating whether to return mine for a 256gb model, but I'm fearful I'll end up with a device with dire battery life like so many seem to have so I'll stick with my 128gb. 95% of what it do is streamed anyway and I regularly upload my photos.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] dudekk602:
I'm in touch with Google Support and hopefully I can start RMA process and got replacement
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] SilentEYE:
Thank you for your detailed battery stats sharing.

Now I am confident, that I can get good battery life compared to my Poco F3 too.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Ricardo_G:
did you root? the standart gsam battery monitor doesn't work for me ( i don't root my phone)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
Yup, rooted. Gsam will work fine, providing you don't give it the rights it asks for in ADB. That also applies to the same rights via root. If you do it corrupts all the stats it has.

I use GSam for the basic battery information (as pictured), and BBB for wakelocks.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] cewori:
Can you please post a follow up if you get a replacement unit and wether it helped or not? I would be very interested in that.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] dudekk602:
Sure, not a problem.

So far Google Support told me to send them bug report.

In meantime I have switched from 5G to LTE, disabled Mobile Data Always Active and disabled Google Assisant. During weekend I thought battery life got better but right now im sitting in office and from 7 to ~10:30 i'm 85% left with 45min SOT.. on WIFi
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Ricardo_G:
nop, even with ADB commands the app doesn´t work
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
No, you DON'T issue the ADB battery_stat command and it should work fine, with or without root.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Allesa:
Any visible improvement after November update? First day of update, doesn't seems so.. battery still drains alot when outdoors + mobile data (4g)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] sam2c:
You mean

You mean disable CGNAT.

Only business grade plans could do this and it's not free I think. Good recommendation though for those who can take advantage of it
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] problem_child:
yeah, disable CGNAT.

EDIT: actually it should be enable CGNAT - that means enable carrier grade network access translation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier-grade_NAT so if it's enable you don't have a public IP. If it's disabled your device is on internet with a public IP. Anyhow, hope everyone understood it. You can check your IP adress in about phone and it should be in a private range to confirm you don't have the battery drain (google says: between 100.64.0.0 and 100.127.255.255) when you're not on wifi ofc

Actually over where I am it's not charged additionally and you can get it on both private and business plans. Even on prepaid :)

Anyhow, nice to thing to have when you insert your sime to a router. not so nice on a mobile phone :)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] piotrkruczek:
I don't any visible difference. Had really good battery life and it's about the same now on 3.1.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] sam2c:
Then it's enabled by default for most people 👍
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Ghisy:
So I've been using AccuBattery but I don't understand where I can find my SOT from 100% to 0%.

It was much easier to use the stock battery information on Android 11...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] piotrkruczek:
I use Battery Guru - shows every stat you want + wakelocks
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] old_fart:
How big of a foot print does it have, ie. how much battery juice does it take ?

Maybe if it is a one shot investigator / analyzer tool - you use it to collect data and then un-install and remove.

Maybe use an app control on the little guru and freeze it to the background . . .
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] piotrkruczek:
It depends - I always disable notifications from the app, because it's refreshing data constantly. Also - as you said it - I use it mostly in few days intervals when my battery starts to go south to fast. Then fix it, uninstall as you wish.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Tracker31:
I can see huge difference between battery life on Wi-Fi and over LTE - thats huge difference like 1.5x - 2x.

any ideas why it happens?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
That doesn't happen with me, both before and after rooting.

Clear data and cache of the app then re-run.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Ricardo_G:
i tried it and it doesn't work
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
Has anyone who had poor battery life found any improvement on the November update? Or have people who had no battery complaints found anything has changed since you updated?

I've yet to update, I'm a little reluctant in all honesty in case by battery life goes down the toilet. It's currently great as I've indicated in this thread.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] dudekk602:
Yesterday I've done November update, it took about 45-60min and right know I'm testing. My battery life was poor, around ~4h SOT on wifi/fhd/120hz/aod. Today I can see little improvement, because I got around 70min SOT using 20% in same conditions. Wait day or two, I'll post my conclusions. In my case it is possible that battery is 'learning' my way of using device
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] refedit:
I'm on 2nd cycle after November Update. Yesterday I already noticed big improvement. Before I needed to charge again at 7pm so it would last until I go to sleep(1am).

Yesterday I had about 30-40% until 1am!

Today, 12.30pm, still 86%!!! Using it like since 1st day, didn't change any routine. Screen Res on Max 1440p QHD+. Will give feedback before go to sleep.

Edit:

8pm --> 100%

12.30pm --> 86%

2.30pm --> 73% - SOT 02:07

5pm --> 58% - SOT 3:16

3th cycle after November update, getting almost 7h SOT. Think it's not to bad IMHO
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
I got 7h57m SoT across 15h5m yesterday with 19% left. Almost all of it was on WiFi but I was playing a casual game (Yahtzee With Buddies) for the majority of it so still pretty good battery.

I had 120hz off (I like the scrolling better without it - my testing shows there is negligible impact on battery shutting it off), FHD+. 5G standby, dual SIM, moderate signal area.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] lucadoc726:
Yes, I did that. Is there a way to improve the battery performance by uninstalling/reinstalling the apps? I've indeed more than 200 I think
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] dudekk602:
Right know I am on 2 cycle after update. After first cycle there was significant improvment from around 4h SOT to about ~5,5h SOT. I will keep you informed at the end of the day but so far it looks O.K. It's not even close to 7-8h SOT like some of user were able to make but still better than 4h..

Maybe replacement in my case won't be necessary

PS. In my case it is possible that battery is still 'learning' my way of using, there are some posts suggesting that after couple of days battery kics in
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] piotrkruczek:
I'm on the latest November build, and so far my observation/stats:

- can't see any improvements in radio optimisation - i'm still getting lots of radio wakelocks

- mobile network in battery stats stay around 10-15% when I'm mostly at home, but jumps to 25-35% when I'm on the go (urban area with mostly good LTE coverage)

- battery is discharging at a rate 8,07%/h with SOT and 0,23%/h on standby. Not 100% sure about that, but Do not disturb mode lowers battery consumption overnight. 95,3% of standby time is in deep sleep.

My typical usage:

- Browsing with Kiwi, YouTube, FB Messenger, Spark email, ClickUp, Calendar, Phone calls. Everything in dark mode all the time, ~50% brightness indoors. 99% on LTE (no Wifi, GPS, Bluetooth, NFC).
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] kheltek:
Does anyone use a custom DNS like nextdns either through chrome or the network settings, and do you see any impact on battery?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] dudekk602:
Late day update :) Today was my second cycle after update, I was using device in very mixed conditions - google maps, lte, wifi, email, calls and my SOT went from yesterdays 5,5h to around 6h with 10% left :) Fingers crossed it got even better in next days
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jimv1983:
That seems pretty typical to me. Every phone I've had has been similar. Mobile days just uses a lot more power than wifi. The Pixel 7 phones have an Exynos modem which are very inefficient so the problem would be even worse.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
You know what, I'm just going to shut off wifi for the next week or so and see how bad it really is. I haven't noticed the same battery problems when I'm not near wifi that others have. I am going to be at my partner's place all weekend and that's in the basement so we will see.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] AKN_92:
This was my battery life two days after the new update. 120hz, on 5g data almost the entire time. Last two days battery life not as good.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] RetroTech07:
are you using this for ad blocking?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] kheltek:
Yes, I set it up through nextdns through the browser and not system-wide. I can’t tell if it is affecting the battery at all or if I’m just paying more attention to my battery percentage. It’s working great as an Adblock. I can’t tell if there’s any affect at all on the battery or if I’m just laser focused looking at the percentage. I charge until about 80%, heavy use, pretty much leave everything on except for AOD and end the day with 20-30% if used heavily.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Mugetzsu:
Here's mine with November update. Wifi all day, mobile data disabled since I'm using wifi, just streaming and few social media apps like Facebook and Instagram. Rooted with kirisakura kernel. QHD+ and 120hz ON.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] cewori:
This is insane. I'm not even close to this, had a quite similar usage yesterday but only got to about 5 hours of SOT with a lot of standby drain (around 4% per hour). Maybe I should try kirisakura aswell.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
That's primarily down to zero mobile data usage, but north of 10 hours SOT is a very good showing and an indication of what this phone can do.

I've spent an entire day on WiFi myself and gotten over 9 hours SOT on one occasion with around 10% remaining before putting it on charge, so very similar to what he has given that he's on 1% and his phone is about to turn itself off. It can be done, but again I question if there are hardware issues with some handsets out there to result in such poor battery life in comparison to so many others.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] cewori:
I thought about that too. However my battery life across all of my past devices never reached the level of what others got. Therefore it could be just related to my Google Account or something like this. I don't think Google will replace my phone easily just for having a worse battery than other people.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
What are you averaging in terms of SOT each charge cycle? What he has posted is an extreme case you're not going to get the majority of the time, as it involved zero mobile data, which always uses more battery than WiFi. I've had over 9 hours as I said but on average I'm getting 7 hours 57 minutes according to GSAM which encompasses every charge cycle. I've had less than 6 hours SOT but that was out and about in London with a lot of camera use and almost all mobile data.

As far as I'm concerned an overall average of between 7 and 8 hours SOT is something to be happy about given the phone screen size and features this phone has. An average of less than 5 hours SOT when you get to around 15% battery means you either have hardware issues or wakelocks.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] cewori:
I don't use Gsam at the moment, but usually I get around 4-5 hours SOT in my typical mixed usage. Today I'm sitting on 1:47 SOT with just 52% left. And that's with 95% WiFi. So there's probably something wrong on my side, I think I will reset the phone this week, since I'm just transferred the data from my old phone and started using it. Maybe this helps, the transfer could be the problem.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
Yup, no way almost all WiFi should result in a SOT of less than two hours with half your battery gone. For example, I've got a SOT of 1 hour 52 minutes today so very similar to you and again almost all WiFi (I went out the house for 25 minutes earlier to drop my son at school) and I'm on 83% remaining.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] dudekk602:
Try fresh install and give battery couple of days to learn your way of using device.

I did copy from old device and In my case after lastest update I went from 4h SOT to around 6h with mostly wifi and 120hz. Now im thinking about factory reset to check if it's going to improve battery life
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] cewori:
Yeah, did a factory reset yesterday and restored from my cloud backup. Will see if this helps, I'll give it a week or more to settle in and watch my battery life.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] dudekk602:
I got in touch with Google Support and they told me to create and send bug report and eventually my device. But don't know how they treat devices with 'bad battery life'. Amazon would probably replace without any questions
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] cewori:
Probably yes, but Amazon replaces everything without asking 😅
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] ghoster76:
Mine P7Pro Got 15% battery drop off from 100 to 85 during a night, phone was just on idle. It seem to be freaking poor battery life compare with any other brand.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] piotrkruczek:
Got mine stats from 16 sessions (AccuBattery) and:

- average SOT - 6,23%/hr

- average Screen Off - 0,36%/hr

Full battery estimations:

- 100% SOT - 12 hr 33 mins

- 100% Screen off - 178 hr 02 mins

- Combined - 80 hr 49 mins

From my observations it's more like:

- 7-8 hrs of SOT with approx. 48 hrs of standby with 20-25% left in the tank

- overnight drainage - approx. 0,15%/hr

- typical usage: fb messenger, YouTube, browsing, calendar-tasks-emails, phone calls, bluetooth music, bits of whatsapp and instagram. 100% on LTE (doesn't matter at home or while commute). Mostly good signal with -82 dBm 56 asu

- Wifi disabled

- overnight Do Not Disturb
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] dudekk602:
Wow, that's impressive. Custom ROM?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] piotrkruczek:
Nope. November update
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] mwatson:
I took off the charger at 7am, its now 4pm and I have 23% left. Just awful. 2 hours 33 mins of SOT. I can't live with this. I'll give it a few more days and if there is no improvement, back it goes!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] xgerryx:
This is encouraging. Were you on 1440p resolution and 120hz? If it was on 1080p then it sort of doesn't count.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
I've left mine on 1080p but 120hz is on.

I don't understand how people can be getting such terrible battery life. I only got this phone on Saturday but the battery life on mine has already shown itself to be decent and I suspect it's only going to get better as the phone settles in over the coming days. I had a 6 hour 23 minute SOT yesterday and I'm on for north of 6 hours again today. It's not the best out there but is far from poor.

See attached screenshot for today. Bang on 3 hours SOT with 56% remaining. Not quite as good as yesterday but I've been doing more intensive tasks whilst the screen is on.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] xgerryx:
If that's on 1080p then it's very worrisome. Screen rez is the number one thing aside from brightness that kills battery.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
The reviews I've seen that mention it indicate the resolution has minimal impact on battery life with this phone.

I've left mine on 1080p because I genuinely don't see enough difference between the two to bother increasing it. The fact it might result in a little extra battery life (although not as much as you believe if reports are believed) is a bonus.

In short, I don't believe the abysmal battery life reported by some is down to the resolution.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] xgerryx:
It's ok that you don't believe it, but I have lived it with 4 different phones now over the last 6 years. Maybe the processing for it has gotten better, but this chip is no bionic and its no snapdragon, or even exynos, so I would doubt it. I ordered this because I can't stand the s22 not being able to root, it's laggy even with a ton of tweaks, including bumping up with CPU pefrormance.. But if the Pixel is like exactly the same, without a 10x zoom, without 100x digital zoom, with a worse feeling screen, worse audio, and a much more limited set of accessories, why would I spend any money on it..

I'll use it, set it up without transferring apps over and see how it goes for a week.

Would you mind running it at 1440p tomorrow as a comparison? I think people would benefit from that info.
