Same here! They set the post as solved and asked me to contact the support by email :mad:

I replied that they can't set the thread as solved and they have to remove this tag.

Edit:

I also sent an email to the support.... I'll let you know as soon as I receive an answer!

Edit 2022/11/13 :

Samsung still didn't reply to my email.... :mad:

I really don't know why I bought a so expensive phone............
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] szerwony:
I wrote to polish Samsung support about a month ago. They were replying fast, but they weren't helpful at all, so maybe you aren't missing anything.

I am wondering if this issue is fixed in November update? Has anyone already received it?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] jbs68:
Today the support answered my email.... they just asked me to install Gboard while i said it doesn't work with gboard too...... :mad:

No comments......
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] jbs68:
Hello there, how are you??

Did you test with refresh rate set at 60 instead of 120 ???

I just tried and it seems that I don't have the issue 😳

Could someone have a try? Thx

Edit:

I talked to fast.... the issue is the same, even with the refresh rate set at 60... :mad:

Maybe a little better.... but still have the issue
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] galandras12:
I thought it was a unique problem, but then it's typical. I have the same problem. I hope that switching to Android 13 will solve the problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] asingha94:
I'm having the same problem on gboard. I thought it was my screen protector cause I've installed a new one recently.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] jbs68:
It isn't your screen protector, because I don't have any lol

Yesterday I received an answer from Samsung support.... they just asked me to install another keyboard when I told them that I had already tried with others :mad::mad:

No more comment.....
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] GymPanse:
I also hope for the November update. I have now received a message that the bug report has been forwarded to the appropriate department.

Do you actually have the feeling that the touchscreen also works a bit imprecisely in other situations? For example, when I'm playing a game or quickly scrolling in the browser.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] jbs68:
no, i did not notice this problem

but screen problems are not new:

Have the same issue on my S21fe also. really annoying from the start. tried Samsung and Gboard, same issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] omricn:
I don't expect much but I sent an error report to Samsung via the Members app as below:
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] Randi03:
Are you guys having this issue in Exynos or Snapdragon? I cannot recreate this problem and I have the Snap version.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] omricn:
Mine is the snapdragon variant
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] GymPanse:
Snapdragon
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] jbs68:
Hello!

I just received A13 update and it seems that the issue is solved !!! :p:cool:
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] omricn:
A13?? Isn't it scheduled for December?? Are you sure it's solved? Please check again and again and again! 😁
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] jbs68:
Depends of the country I guess....

I tried many times, and till now, I don't have the issue !
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] omricn:
Amazing dude :) will update once I receive the update as well
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] GymPanse:
I just updated to Android 13. I'm from Germany. Problem really seems to be fixed, but I still have to test this extensively. But it looks good.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] szerwony:
That's excellent. I also have an option to install Android 13 but I will wait a few days and read others opinion about it. There could be another bigger problem after updating, for example battery drain 😅 But I hope it will be working well.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] omricn:
I can CONFIRM with great surprise that after updating to A13 the gesture typing issue is now resolved. almost can't believe it.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] hunter3000:
seems like on A13 problems with gesture tiping is resolved i can confirm too.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] szerwony:
For me it's still not fixed in 100%. It's much better, but still this issue sometimes happens.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] Grifef:
Yup. Ghost touch is appearing less times than before, but still not fixed at all. Atleast a bit improved lol
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] GymPanse:
I haven't found any problems so far. Since the update everything works as usual. Have you tried clearing the keyboard settings?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] szerwony:
So two months passed and for me it's still not fixed on Android 13.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] jbs68:
Did you clear the cache from recovery after update? it is highly recommended after major updates
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] szerwony:
Yes, I did
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] lupo77:
Hi guys, i'm looking for a battery for my jasjar, anyone knows where can i buy it online?

Thanks a lot
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] trevagreene:
Got the pro delivered today. Ive noticed battery life is quite poor. Dropping 5-10% every 30 mins or so. Battery usage seems to suggest the google app is using about 25% of the battery. Usage is nothing over the top. Coming from a pixel 5 with excellent battery
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] wildlime:
Dude it's your first setup and install. Give it a day or two. Normal. I have used the 7 and 7 pro now for 3 weeks which is great.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] trevagreene:
Yea. I agree. But drain seems very rapid. Just dropped 3% since i posted the question. Will wait a few days and report back
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] saiiint:
Hows the face unlock and fingerprint ? Fast and responsive or laggy ?

Iam waiting for my 7pro and iam affraid about problems from 6 series
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] w_tapper:
pixel 6 fp issues are mostly fixed now because of software updates
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Karun_Thomas:
Just try to charge it fully and use it for a few more days, also for new phones there will always be updates for battery issues!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] wildlime:
Been using both 7 series for 3 weeks. Fingerprint is perfect. Hardly use it with face unlock though
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jaseman:
OK...let's have it...how in the world have you been using the phone(s) for the last three weeks?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Batfink33:
It's a 5nm(or 4nm) Samsung fab made SOC, it's going to have poor efficiency.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] wildlime:
Because I work for a network in the UK. Only allowed to talk about them after launch
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] fonduekid:
I'm not sure if others have issues with battery drain and I did see the article on display on the Pixel 7 Pro being a battery killer...but after using the phone for a few days now, I can confirm that the phone, software, all the fancy features are absolutely great but the battery sucks. This phone is a battery killer indeed. I'm monitoring with accubattery and trying greenify but no luck yet. I have even tried keeping the Smooth Display disabled/turned off (to prevent refresh rate being increased to 120 Hz) but the brain drain literally is insane. I am not an expert and I am not sure if more battery charge cycles, optimization through phone use etc will help over time either. I have tried restricting battery use for many apps as well and tried disabling background data for some apps - no luck on this one too. Hopefully the underlying cause can be fixed with some usual Google software patch magic...if not, it's going to a year of battery misery I guess. I'm curious to hear others experience and any suggestions. Thank you.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] george.smarandache:
I am on the same page when it comes to battery... I have the 7 Pro and since 6PM last night it dropped to 38% with only 1h 45 min of SOT... That is never going to get close to even 3h of SOT.

It is on 1440p and 120hz but still, I don't think this is ok.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] MrBelter:
Mine is so much better than what my P6P was, yesterday i had 54% left after 17 hours off charge and playing with it given its a new toy, My P6P would have been down to 20%'ish.

I've lost 20% today (since 6.20am) but i have had Poweramp playing music for a couple of hours, i have been out and about taking photos and i made a 30 minute call.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Yeah, mine has been really good also. Really good idle drain and overnight it's in deep sleep around 97% of the time. Active drain has been good as well.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Norma Stitz:
Mine seem to be be about on par with my P6P. Not great, but not horrible.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Sammath:
Compared to my poco f2 pro which only has a 4700mah battery the pixel 7 pro's battery life is pretty abysmal. I used to run twice the **** on that phone and it still didn't die as fast as the p7p. Hope a few firmware updates will get it to a better place. Turing off pick up and tap screen to wake made a little bit better but it's still abysmal imo.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Ultimoose:
For whatever it's worth, I've had mine (unlocked google / 512) since Thursday. Accubattery has been on since Friday when I rooted and started restoring apps . Just checking it and coming off a full charge overnight (trickle charge) it's estimating I have 11 hours of SOT, 62 hours screen off time. Since it was off the charger around 3 hours ago it's dropped 2% with 26 minutes of SOT.

To be fair I use my phone for email, texts, minor information/news gathering and music streaming and light photo/video recording without much running in the background so I'm not a high power user. YMMV
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
Weird. My experience is completely the opposite - 6 hours 23 minutes SOT with 21% remaining yesterday on my first full cycle when I put it back on charge. No complaints at all.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] crusht:
Did anyone with poor battery performance transfer apps to the new phone through cable? This has been bad for battery on new phones as ooposed to letting the new phone download the apps.....
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Misterxtc:
The Pixel 7P and 6P I have here ran like total garbage when I transferred data between the two with a USB cable. A fresh install made both phones run great.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Skamath:
Nice to have a advert free regular scheduled programming. Thanks for the clean up. Would you know much about the W and mA conversion?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
Not in my experience. Here is mine yesterday, which matches what I've had for the last week. Had I not put it on charge just after this screenshot I'd have easily gone over 7 hours SOT. And I used the phone on data and wifi yesterday a lot and Bluetooth for audio and my watch was on all day.

Did you start from scratch or copy data from an old phone? It's also worth noting that the second day is early and the battery won't have settled in yet.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jejemc:
.hello everyone I'm like many here, at 100% at 10 p.m. in the morning only 75% remains when I have cut everything (networks and application in the background) I find that it loses too much during the night whether it's on the stable rom or the beta.

I really hate having custom roms like evolution x to reduce this.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
You absolutely shouldn't be losing 25% overnight with no use, you have some serious wakelocks going on there.

Download BetterBatteryStats and check your wakelocks.

App Center

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] hs307:
Mine lost about 50% in 24 hours. That's ok.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jejemc:
thank you , install more case wait 24 hours
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
Don't forget to assign the app the permissions is needs in ADB otherwise it won't be able to show you wakelocks.

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] fonduekid:
I know this is a poor battery thread but on a quick tangent, I never managed to figure out how to do this... I have device backed up with Google One and I can see the backup from my old phone (all SMS/MMS) but just can't find the damn restore button anywhere!

In other stories - the battery has been performing really well after the factory reset (which I posted about earlier).
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] xgerryx:
That's about 17w. So not full speed. After messing with stuff more I'm finding that the cable is the biggest issue. Cables I have that charged the Samsung at 45w charge this phone at like 7w. Still didn't see it touch higher than 16w though.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Sammath:
Over a week of woning the pixel 7 pro this is my so far review of the battery life. It's gotten better, was abysmal before, now it's pretty good. Maybe my device had to Settle for a few days or so since it's been way better now. I get through the day easy now.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] scottic2:
I cannot find a way to restore if you skipped it during the initial setup process. Seems like once you skip it during setup, you cannot re-trigger a restore once you have completed setup. From now on, I'll definitely be doing a backup with sms backup and restore prior to factory resetting or getting a new phone. I almost learned the hard way...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] scottic2:
Looking pretty good today so far after my factory reset yesterday with no restoring aside from SMS/MMS. 90% battery remaining with 1 h 1m SOT, 1440p, smooth display enabled, 5G disabled, LTE only, at home on wifi.

I'll be out all day tomorrow so that should be a good test.

Now my only concern is that my phone gets warm (not hot) when doing minor stuff. Not a big deal, but compared to my S21U which was always cool as a cucumber, it is a bit disconcerting.

Not sure if future updates will make the temperatures better or worse.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
Some obvious wakelocks happening but I'm still pretty happy with it.

It also seems like my fringe signal at the partner's house in the basement has improved for both AT&T and T-Mobile on the beta.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] JohnTheFarm3r:
The conversion depends on the voltage in this case. The mAh was close to 4000mAh, so, 29W / 4A (4000mAh) = 7.25Volts. PPS is a dynamic protocol, so Voltage can vary between 3V and 21V if the device supports it.

Check this out if you don't know how to calculate Amps/Watts/Volts (power).
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] xgerryx:
Today my phone is about dead after less than 8 hours off the charger. 4 hrs 17 mins screen time. Kernel pulling the most battery in app consumption. Video call in the car took it from 23% to 9% in 20 mins. 115 degrees during that time. Going to give it until next weekend but odds are this thing is going back.

I didn't restore any data, and it was factory reset a few times during the bootloader/root process so it's not that.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] lsirg:
After a day or so after a fresh setup, a popup appeared that said "finish your pixel 7 pro setup". Clicking on it allowed me to restore sms and call logs from google 1. It's pretty ridiculous that you cannot do it when you want, and, if you tell the phone the setup is finished, you can't do a restore.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Friend of Sonic:
Man, I was almost all in on the Pixel 7 Pro with the deal at Mint Mobile, but now I don't know. Some of these battery reports scare me. Someone I know is getting none of this, but there's too many stories to completely write the possibility off of going through it, and I live in Arizona, so the Pixel 7 in general may not endure summer temps as well as a Samsung does (though my S10+ was getting a little toasty in my hand today in the morning when it was 85 degrees Fahrenheit... physically hurts that the move might be to wait out a new phone just a little longer LOL)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
I haven't noticed my 7 Pro getting warm much at all honestly. My OnePlus 9, which I didn't find to get uncomfortably warm either, was still warmer overall than this thing. The only exceptions were first setup and after I installed the beta it was a bit warm for a day or so.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Friend of Sonic:
How's the battery life?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] scottic2:
I was having battery issues when I had smooth display enabled. I followed advice that I received here and did a factory reset without transferring anything, my battery life is amazing so far. I'll probably hit 8 hours SOT today which is more then enough to me.

The phone is really fantastic, it's my first pixel and I am really impressed so far.

My only remaining concern, like yours, is the temperature this phone runs at some times. My phone is never hot but does run slightly warm at times doing basic stuff (i.e. not gaming). I am a bit concerned with the temp it will run at in the summer, and also what will happen with future software updates. Will it get better or worse?

I really do love the phone so I'll roll the dice and see what happens in the future. The positives on this phone far outweigh the negatives for me.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Paz9:
What have you got enabled/disabled?

Any apps disabled?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] AKN_92:
I didn't copy any data from the old phone. Just restore a backup from the cloud, I don't think that should cause any issues right? My posted usage is like almost all on data, no wifi at work. I'll try to instal Gsam again see if it finds anything.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] scottic2:
I did the same as you when I first got my p7p and had battery issues. After about a week I did a factory reset and didn't restore anything aside from sms/mms messages and my battery has been much better. I think the key thing is not not ever restore apps and settings during the initial setup, just manually download all apps that you need and set them up yourself.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] ppaasseeii:
Thanks! Can you confirm this works on Android 13/P7P? I had tried last week with no luck but it was with GSAM.

EDIT: YES IT WORKS FOR BBS. I guess GSAM has an issue then.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] george.smarandache:
More than a week now on the P7P and the battery is still poor. Average 4h SOT on Wifi with 1080p, 120Hz, 4G.

If I mix Wifi with data and go outside or listen to music, the battery goes towards 3h SOT or less.

I was hoping to be able to try the replacement P7P, but it came damaged, again... So I will return both of them.

Still thinking about keeping the P7. My partner seems to be happy ish with the battery which is better than my P7P. But she complains about the poor display brightness, poor sound quality, and lack of double tap yo lock 😂
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
It has been a bit of a rollercoaster. I can easily get 7 hours SoT when I'm at my place but at my partner's place in the basement in getting around 4 but I'm still getting 20-24 hours between charges so I'm pretty happy with it.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
Still find the lack of battery life some are getting a bit strange, I'm really wondering what is causing it and if it's linked to the initial setup.

Now I've had mine for over a week I've used it in all circumstances, WiFi all day, data all day, lots of camera use, lots of various app use throughout, and I've yet to have a SOT of less than around five-and-a-half hours, and I've never had less than 15% remaining when I've put it on charge. Just checked and I've got an average SOT of 7 hours and overall battery life of 24 hours.

I'm wondering if my first day might be relevant, but likely not. I got my phone, unlocked the bootloader, rooted it, then decided I'd rather stick with OTA updates for the time being so relocked the bootloader and flashed stock back using Google's online flash tool. My battery life has been immense since. It might be worth someone testing that by getting the phone, and performing a factory reset before setting it up. It shouldn't make a difference but stranger things have happened.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] RetroTech07:
I'm sorry, but according to who? This is just nonsense. 4-5hrs was definitely the norm way back when, but if that was still standard today I don't think folks would be pretty happy.

I could not stand my P6P abysmal battery life anymore and passed on the P7 and jumped ship back to Apple until Google and other manufacturers can figure out how to optimize a system properly. The battery life on Apples latest phone is just insane at how efficient it is. I wish I could say the same for Google, and if anyone thinks 5-6hrs of SoT is OK, it really isn't.

While I do love Android and prefer it over iOS, I can't live with the fact that I pay so much for a phone (P6P) that only lasts a few short hours with very little interaction. There were times I'd charge it to 80% and have lost 10% over the course of 3hrs with it just sitting off to the side. That's definitely not OK.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
You can't compare iOS to Android. Apples and oranges. Apple does extremely aggressive background app management to the point that most background apps are just frozen entirely to be able to get that battery life. The reality is that most Samsung, OnePlus, and Google phones average 4-6 hours with everything turned on so removing Apple from the equation, the 7 Pro is on the higher end of Android flagships.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
Seems to have settled down again after the beta update on Friday.

I am quite happy with this seeing how I'm at my partner's house in the basement where the signal isn't great.

Honestly this device only disappoints on the charge time, everything else is an improvement over my OnePlus 9.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] gigaboss:
I tried again. I had my phone with me all day, unplugged for 10h, less than 3h of sot and it's close to dying. If I cannot survive 18h without a charger I'm thinking of returning it...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] gigaboss:
I want this 😭
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] MrBelter:
My Pixel 6 Pro got as hot as a lump of burning coal if you dared to even just look at it.

Mine would hit over 40c just flicking though Flipboard or looking on the Chive, my P7P is positively arctic by comparison so Google seem to have reined Tensor in a bit thankfully.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] george.smarandache:
That is great

Glad to see there are users with decent battery life.

Maybe there are some P7P's with a different battery supplier. Finding excuses for Google here cuz I really want this phone. Tired of 8 years of Samsung 😅
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] xgerryx:
Today I am on track for over 9 hours of SoT with everything still turned on.

The catch is that I'm home all day, working. Not doing much on it in terms of media, it's below 30% brightness. Not much camera use or audio use. No 4 or 5g, only WiFi.

I suspect that there is some major inefficiency with the phone radios and the brightness generating heat and killing the battery in direct sunlight. I do suspect that the battery is getting a tad better as the days go on.

Anyone take the phone out for a full day? Like a day trip or hiking or something? How did it do?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
I was out the entire day on Saturday, on 4G and without any WiFi. It did take a hit, but it still hit five-and-a-half hours SOT over just under 18 hours and finished the day on 15% so would have gotten over 6 hours before giving up. So around an hour/hour and a half less than average for me.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] 2be3_80:
Still very good.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
Yup, no complaints.

I rooted this morning, I was hesitating as to whether to do it given that my battery life was so good. But things looking good so far, sitting at 59% and at 3.5 hours SOT.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Misterxtc:
I'm a light user but I'm getting over two days between charges sometimes three. I was lucky if I got two days with the S22 I had. I've been unlocked and rooted for over a week so far and have no complaints. I haven't bothered running any battery monitoring apps so I can't comment on screen time..
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Nekromantik:
i get very high idle use around 4.5 to 5.5% per hour

on 6 pro got around 2 to 3 only
