[Google Pixel 7 Pro] scottic2:
I'll be out all day Sunday, probably taking a lot of pictures. Want to see how the battery holds up on 4G most of the day, using the camera a lot, with Smooth Display on.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] scottic2:
This is a good point. Typically, how is Google with updates and fixing issues they introduced via updates?

I have been with Samsung for many years now, I know that sometimes they release an update that affects battery life negatively, but in my personal experience they typically fix the issues over time. Is Google historically the same with fixing bugs?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] MrBelter:
Same here, i'm now at 32hrs 16mins since a charge, i did a 5 mile walk this morning listening to music via Poweramp on Bluetooth earbuds, i have made 25 minutes of calls and i am now down to 46%
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] ram4ufriends:
Are you rooted? My battery life is pretty bad and phone would get warm even with 5 minutes of light usage, worse than my Pixel 6 Pro. I may factory reset again without and see if it improves. I never restore apps, always set them up clean.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jaseman:
While I do not usually allow anything to come over from a previous phone I did with the 7 Pro. I am not having any issues AND all my text messages did come back! I think this is the first time for me that they did on their own! HOWEVER, I have used many, many times the app SMS Backup Restore which also works as advertised. So, unless you're really comfortable relying on Google backup to do its job as expected you may want to use the 3rd party app just to make sure! YMMV
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] fonduekid:
No root or anything. Just the good ol' Google phone as it is. Stock apps, just what's needed. Did a full factory reset, installed what I needed, settings as I usually prefer them (and as I have had in my previous Pixel's), etc. And it's working great. Check @Beefheart 's posts in this thread. Very helpful insights.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] SonnyKrockett:
Mine so far today. Not sure if it's good or bad so far.

Changed to 1080p.

Smooth Operation.

5g on as you can see. Just wanting to test to see if the screen resolution makes a difference.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] flashbac76:
Had the same problem with my pixel out of the box. After a factory reset, it's a new phone. No more getting hot and very good battery life.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] ram4ufriends:
Just to be sure, are you rooted?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] flashbac76:
No, I'm not. Just stock android.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
That's pretty average to be honest. Turn you mobile data preference from 5G to 4G. You will notice a marked difference with little to no difference in performance. For browsing and even Youtube, 4G is more than sufficient.

Mine below for today. I've been out and about a lot and made 40 minutes of phone calls. Still, I'd say 3 hours of SOT at an average of just over 10% per hour is good in anyone's book.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] SonnyKrockett:
Change to LTE?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
Yup.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] lunacies:
I restored my phone from a "Google One" backup which I do not remember turning on on my old phone and it said the backup was an hour old and it transferred contacts and messages etc, however I noticed on my new phone I was missing at least 10 days worth of texts and who knows what else. I would highly recommend doing it yourself to be safe.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
SMS Backup and Restore from the Play Store is your friend.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Ghisy:
I second that! This app has always been reliable to restore texts and call logs!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] xgerryx:
You shouldn't have to turn off core features of a phone to get a normal day's use out of it phone. If you're shutting things off and lowing settings, what's the point?

For me, first full day on the phone, bootloaded unlocked, rooted, 1440p, 120hz, everything on, nothing lowered. Oddly enough the phone only charged to 55% last night, not entirely sure why. Early this morning it painstakingly got to 92% before I unplugged it, unbelievably slow charging on a 45w power delivery 3.0 brick. While it was charging this slow it went up to like 92F in temp. That's a lot of heat for not much return.

I would say I'm on track for 6 hours SoT, give or take 15-20 mins. This is on a mixture of WiFi at home, real 5g (tested 250 mb/s down to confirm, no MMwave obv) out at lunch with a coworker for about 90 minutes, and using wireless Android Auto for a bit.

The screen gets bright enough in direct sunlight, but JUST bright enough. This is no Galaxy screen, and I don't even like Samsung much. When it was at max brightness the phone got really hot, as well as randomly earlier when I was just scrolling Twitter for some reason. Like above 35c/65f. During that time the rate of change for battery went through the floor. So if you're walking around a city in the sun trying to walk somewhere with your GPS out and the screen on, get ready for that.

I'll update again at the end of the weekend when it goes through a few more cycles.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] scottic2:
I feel that shutting off the 5G option is entirely dependent on where the person is located. I get slower speeds on 5G where I am located, plus a noticeable drop in battery life. In my case, I get a more reliable connection AND better battery life with 5G disabled.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
I'd say changing 5G to 4G isn't turning off core features. But then again, I'm not actively looking for reasons to dislike the phone.

The difference between 4G and 5G is negligible for 99% of what a mobile device is used for on data. In my opinion anyway.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] scottic2:
Ok... my phone is now factory reset and all set back up. I only restored my SMS/MMS messages from my Google backup, everything else was set up from scratch. Running 1440p with smooth display enabled.

This weekend won't be a good test for me as I won't be using my phone regularly, but next week for sure I'll really put this phone through its paces. Fingers crossed, the reset/set up without restoring apps or data will do the trick for me.

Thanks all.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
Yup. It's this way for a lot of people and when you have it that bad, it doesn't matter if it's a Qualcomm or Samsung modem, it's going to be a crappy experience.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
And to touch on the issue with screen brightness outside in sunlight tanking the battery, this hasn't happened to me in the tests I performed.

A couple of times now I walked down to collect my son from school in bright daylight which hiked the brightness to maximum and I kept the phone screen on deliberately. I lost 1% every 3-4 minutes which was no worse than my previous phones.

I'm starting to believe there are some faulty handsets out there.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] xgerryx:
This is very fair. You should do it because it makes sense based on your environment, 100%. Not to jump through hoops to squeeze an acceptable day out of your phone otherwise. Like where I live in NH, there is 5g but it's not everywhere. In the city I have it, I just checked and sitting here at home I also have it, but weaker, about 170 mb/s. MOST other places not in a city here don't. But I'm not going to switch it off because I'm going hiking in the white mountains. And I shouldn't have to.

I had the Oneplus 8 pro for over 2 years, it had 5g, a much older modem. And got better battery life than both phones I have right now. So, that's the comparison for me.

EDIT: well I spoke too soon on this. Since leaving the house and being in and out of the car, the battery is now at 20% remaining with less than 4 hours of SoT. I'll likely not get to tonight before it dies. And that's pretty abysmal.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] domi_niku:
I'm coming from a 3-year old P30 Pro (Mate 9 for another 2 years before). It had some issues but battery wasn't one (never replaced it). I mostly use Gmail, Slack, Twitter and Android Auto. No gaming or other power-sucking apps. My last Pixel experience was Nexus 4, which needed to be charged 2-3 times to make it through the day. I feel like I'm back to those dark ages.

I never had an issue going through the day with those but with my new Pixel 7 Pro I see the battery disappearing as I use my phone - every time I look at the % it drops by a few digits. Fully charged 4 hours ago I'm down to 50% with 1 hour 20 minutes screen.

Is this something that can be fixed by me or by an update? I have a "vacation of my lifetime" coming up and I wanted the best camera for it.

Keep it or get the S22 Ultra? I really like this phone but it doesn't seem to like me.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Skamath:
going from a mate 30 pro to vivo x80 pro I hated the battery life of vivo sold it and now I have the p 70 pro. I removed all the unnecessary system apps from google and also youtube and the likes. Then set up the phone from scratch as its was from m 30 pro to pixel. All said and done it looks like the "SYSTEM APPS" might be the ones to drain all the battery juice. Try removing them via adb

here is my list of uninstalled apps with the uninstall command saved for future reference.

On a side note I noticed that the charging brick of the mate 30 pro with oem cable doesnt charge the p7p.

aftermarket cable gives about 1500 mA charge as per ampere app

Huawei wireless charger gives about 2000mA charge and aftermarket USB c brick with pixel cable gives about 3300 mA. I am not sure why the huawei 60W brick and cable refuse to charge and it gives poor charge rate with 3rd part cable.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] xgerryx:
I just found out about this too. You need a PPS charging brick to get the still crappy 20-23w charging. I'm using a 65w PD brick that charged my S22U at 45w and I am getting about 16w max out of it on the Pixel.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] JohnTheFarm3r:
I was getting around 29W with a PPS charger. (Anker PD charger 65W).
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] AKN_92:
Is this normal battery usage? My 2nd full day with the phone
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Badger50:
Thread cleaned.

Fot the love of Pete one and all, enough of the Battery Bickering Ballyhoo!!

If you wish to discuss battery life variables that is fine and dandy, but enough of the "My Dog is Better than Your Dog" routine. Thank you.

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] qualitymove13:
I didnt see anyone discussing adaptive battery. Do we have it on or off?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Skamath:
I just bought a Belkin charger from JB ampere show about 4.9v and charges at about 3500mA

What is the actual conversion with W to mA?

Google search shows 25W to be 25000mA something doesn't add up.

My full battery drained to27% in about 5-6 hours moderate to heavy use

I have it on
[Samsung Galaxy A20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jajk:
A final note:

If you want to know which CPU, GPU governors are best and what the difference is between them, there is loads of information already gathered on this topic. Most of it is quite dated but still relevant. Here is a good starting point:

https://xdaforums.com/t/ref-guide-m...pu-governors-i-o-schedulers-and-more.3048957/

There is a lot of misunderstanding on Eureka Kernel and ROM forums around the issue of memory management - LMK, Virtual Memory etc. Many users want something for nothing like running every known Samsung, Google and Social Media app in the background on a A12.1 or 13 ROM on a phone with 3GB RAM.

The basics of virtual memory have not changed - set ZRAM to no more than 50% of the available memory and set ZSWAP Memory pool to no more than 30%. Swappiness is best at 100% and vfs_cache_pressure set to 50. These settings are the favorite targets for abuse in tweaks offered by people of little knowledge.

Once you have your virtual memory sorted and have made smart decisions on what services/apps you are going to allow to self start on boot and hide in the background, it is a simple case of looking at the free memory to figure out how many more apps can run before killing occurs. It should surprise no-one when it occurs..... blame yourself, not the kernel, not the ROM, but your decisions on what you run and how you configure the phone.......
[Realme GT 2 Pro] huzidada:
Hey guys what are your temps on your GT2 Pro, mine is overheating in general use and in Antutut as well
[Realme GT 2 Pro] drdr321:
I don't have that kind of problems. PUBG over 1 hour - warm, but not uncomfortably.

In general use - I don't notice any warming up.

When charging, I get lower temperatures than I used to with other phones...

Wait for the OS update (it can help).
[Realme GT 2 Pro] dick_vigarista:
Yeah it does overheat... filming in 4k happens a lot, it overheats and won't let you continue filming until it cools down.
[Realme GT 2 Pro] ssj3hulk:
The software is garbage, Realme set the throttling level too low. I am on the latest version (A.21 Realme UI 3.0) and when I run Antutu and CPU THrottling test I have seen throttling happen too early. In CPU THrottling test the temp only reached 53C however it has lost more than 10% performance. The phone itself was barely warm. My old Xiaomi Mi9T Pro can get really hot during the CPU THrottling Test program after 15 min run, however it will not throttle.

Realme built a really good vapor chamber in the phone, however they set the throttling temp too low in the software...

Oh and I run it in GT Mode, without GT Mode it is even worse.

I wonder why Realme decided to make the phone throttle so early ... I hope Realme will release the kernel source soon so that someone who can actually make a usable OS could do so.
[Realme GT 2 Pro] thepredator_:
Mine is not overheating now after the update and it is smooth without any issues!
[Realme GT 2 Pro] nemesis53:
Hi, did you able to fix this issue with software updates or the overheating issue still persist? I'm considering to buy this phone.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite Questions & Answers] gilsan:
Hello all,

My camera focus stopped working, so I ordered a replacement camera. Opened the phone and replaced the cameras.

When I power the phone the official camera app wont open displaying a message "Camera Error".

If I use another app like Open Camera I can take pictures in 2 of the 3 cameras, the wide doesn't open.

Does anyone know how to turn on the wide camera, or how to fix the default app? If I have to turn some secret option, etc...

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite Questions & Answers] ShaDisNX255:
I don't know if it's the case but I saw a few videos some time ago that Samsung was implementing the same type of anti-repair methods as Apple, meaning you couldn't use any third party or even first party replacement parts from other phones. I hope you can find a solution but I just thought I'd bring that to your attention. It's software blocks and I have no idea if you'd be able to bypass them.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite Questions & Answers] gilsan:
Thanks for the reply.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] rasc2:
Hi,

my MI A1 froze and after hard switch off (pressing Power button x seconds) it was in a boot loop.

ADB was enabled, OEM unlock not...

Boot into Recovery and Fastboot does work...

... but flashing latest stockware (10.0.24.0) will not work:

recovery shows an error message:

E: failed to clear BCB message: failed to fsync /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/misc: Operation not permitted

What I did, so far (working on win10, vmware):

- doing a lot of reading here (tnx for all the info!)

- installed android ubs and qualcomm drivers, platform tools, Mi Tools, etc.

0. Recovery "Wipe data & factory reset" did not work (trying, but with not returning after 1 hour)

1. Fastboot: MiFlash Tool and Stockrom -> "Remote: not possible, because of locked mode)

2. Fastboot: MiUnlock-Tool (Created Mi-Account): -> "No Token found" , so no unlock.

3. Qualcomm edl mode (test point) & MiFlash Tool: --> not possible, because of locked (?).

4. Boot to recovery & image on SD card (flash from SD card):

after getting errors "images are too old", I got the latest image on sd card and recovery tries to start flashing.

but the following error message shows up:

E: Error in /sideload/package.zip (Status 1)

5. Switch active Slot A/B also did not work.

What I did not:

- trying with other flash tools (Qualcomm), because of "fear" to make things even worse, when flashing files into wrong memory areas.

- using another prog_emmc_firehose_8953_ddr for the MI A1 (what will happen, if I use another 8853 file?).

recovery log shows:

>> recovery filesystem table:...

>> 0 / ext4 /dev/block/blockdevice/by-name/system_b 0

error messages also show skipped entry for partition "system" and "vendor"

so I guess, I have to restore "system_b" to get the "/sideload/package.zip" working, at least to reflash the device in total.

Now the question to the experts here:

Any way/procedure to restore the system_b with a locked boot loader (edl mode, perhaps)?

And then reflash fastboot or recovery Stock Rom

Is there a good howto for using different flash tools and/or emmc_firehose files?

Any hint is apreciated!

Tnx a lot in advance!
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TrumpXi:
With the release of OxygenOS 13 for the OP9Pro the OxygenOS we know of is dead, since it becomes Color OS and "we take community feedback" is a LiE

what u gonna do OP9Pro owners?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] N1ldo:
What do you mean by that?

OxigenOS or ColorOS Or whatever it is, for me it's the same thing, as long as it's stable and smooth, I don't even care about the system "skins".
[OnePlus 9 Pro] GeminiRx:
I already made the switch to a cstum rom. And lucky me. The Pixels are now available in my country :)
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Arcide:
Oxygen OS 13 is pretty good actually. I've only encountered some minor bugs and the performance is better than I had on OOS11 (I skipped 12 entirely), which is amazing considering it's the first open beta version.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheKnux:
Get an iPhone 14 Pro. 😎

Edit: done. What a breath of fresh simplistic air lmao
[OnePlus 9 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
Got a Pixel 7 Pro.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
Bummer......😂...I detest iphones or anything Apple! Sorry!
[OnePlus 9 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
Umm... I didn't get either...
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
Sorry, senior moment......read Pixel and thought iphone ...🤣
[OnePlus 9 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
I am still going to have my 9 but I'm trading in my old iPhone 12 Pro Max which results in Best Buy basically paying me $30 to take the 7 Pro after the $200 gift cards and $790 in trade in value. Was kind of a no-brainer.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheKnux:
I have an 11 currently and my 9 Pro. I'm gonna fix the back glass on my 11 and see if I can use it as a trade-in for the 14 Pro, or just buy it outright. Once I found out AppleCare+ allows for unlimited accidental damages, that was a no-brainer for me. I'll still hold onto my 9 Pro for development reasons though. The Pissel 7 Pro is ugly af and Apple has come a long way since the jailbreaking days. Plus the peace-of-mind for AC+ is nice since I work in the construction field. Plus the new design is super sexy to me and the squareness of the device is nice cause it gives me something to grip onto without having to feel like I have to throw a case on it.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
I can't do Apple anymore. I switched back to my 12 Pro Max for a couple weeks to see and I just can't do it. The OS is so far behind Android in stock features, let alone the ability for third party apps to add new ones.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Dharani_V:
Got a pixel 7 pro .
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheKnux:
I can understand that. It's just sometimes it's nice to have some simplicity. If I have a device that's development friendly like the 9 Pro, it's hard not to tinker and do things with it. It's just when things go wrong, that's when it becomes a pain. When I went from nameless to oos11 then back to nameless, I soft-bricked my device and threw it in a drawer until the weekend came so I had more time to mess with it and used my iPhone 11 in the meantime and it was a breath of fresh air. The OS literally drives me up a wall, but their optimizations both software and hardware are unmatched compared to Android. I'm a features guy when it comes to custom ROMs. To me, oos11 had it all. Once I tried oos12 and found out it didn't have a hex code color picker in customization settings, I went back to oos11. Yes, it's little things like that that make me go back to and earlier version lol.

Not gonna lie, Apple is night and day when it comes to point and shoot photography. Plus the LiDAR scanner would come in handy for work, and Dynamic Island (dumb name) is pretty fricken sweet. I've always been into the design of iPhones, and when they went back to the old form factor, I lost my ****. Plus the matte glass is sexy too lol.

TL;DR: when you want a device to work without having to fiddle with anything, Apple kills it. Especially if you like simple things once in awhile.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
Yep, I agree with most of your points. I have lost count of how many times I had to MSM my 9 from messing with it lol. Fortunately OOS13 has been pretty okay even on the first open beta, but unless the 7 Pro has some major issues for me, the OnePlus 9 is going to be relegated to my backup phone.

One thing I will say though - Apple doesn't do point and shoot better than Google. Google's AI makes a massive difference with their camera prowess and it's something they have done right from the start. Even with inferior hardware, the camera in my 3 XL almost always took a better looking photo than my 12 Pro Max unless I tweaked the settings (and who wants to mess with all that, especially with Apple's infuriating camera menu system where half of it is in the Settings app, when they can have a phone that you pull out of your pocket, double tap the power button, snap, and have a great picture the first try 99% of the time) or I had to zoom in while taking it.

The inability to even install Kodi on an iPhone is an issue for me. I shouldn't have to jump through a bunch of hoops to sideload apps onto a device I paid for.

Also, you *STILL* can't space icons however you want on the home screen... >_>
[OnePlus 9 Pro] netgar:
I will switch to pixel...

After so many years with OnePlus I know for sure that opo9pro is my last open plus phone. They screwed it.
