Hello everyone

Back into the Google fold (my last pixel was the legendary Nexus 6P model, everyone has heard of it, i'm sure)

Bought an used Pixel 7 Pro , updated to Android 14 Beta (latest release) and unfortunately i'm experiencing high battery drain

My question is - are all of you Pixel 7 Pro users experiencing this? Or is my battery faulty?

Just to steer away from these questions, i've already disabled Always on Display, my screen resolution isn't the "High" one within the options, Adaptive Connectivity is OFF and so on

Thank you and regards
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Pixel86:
I was under the impression ADAPTIVE CONNECTIVITY was good for battery life. I keep it enabled.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] zSyntex:
The Beta ROMs always consume more than the stable one, since Android send more analytics etc.

Screen resolution doesn't affect the consume at all (or for a very small percentage).

The display itself consume the same (same pixel on) energy as lowering resolution, so that's not the problem.

Try to wait more days to stabilize the battery drain.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] alexandruvlad:
I've read about it being a battery drainer somewhere on a guide against Pixel drain (i think it was droidwin.com)

Thanks about this, appreciated. I hope Android 14 stable drops any day now (if they keep to the listed schedule at all)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] bobnot:
NextDNS.io to block some of the analytics and ads.

Set up battery saver.

Honestly it's a tensor issue with battery drain. Root has helped me with battery drain but it's dangerous dragons and boogymen ahead.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] HipKat:
I turned mine off once and my battery drain was way worse
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] vnayrp:
Now I have been using the Pixel 7 Pro since the past 20 days. I have been using the beta version of Android 14 with the Aug 5th security Auto-updated.

Before as well as after the update, I have not faced any battery drain issues as such. Actually, I charge my phone for 30 mins max in a day at a stretch and have not experienced any huge battery drain. I end up getting minimum 16 hours of proper standby + usage + basic (Trainstation 2) type gaming, calls + whatsapp + insta, etc apps and still am left with more than 40% battery before I am off to bed at night. Again in the morning, I do not bother to put it on charge till it actually comes down to around 30-32% level when I put it on charge for the same 30-35 mins.

the display brightness is what i feel is the maximum contributor towards battery drain. Not even the refresh rate or resolution. I prefer to set the brigthness to auto all the time and extra dim @ nights.

It really gives me good results and am glad to be using this after being with the 1+9 Pro which surely was great in all aspects except camera department. We also own a 1+11 and that too has the same battery capacity, but drains off quicker than the pixel 7 Pro; but charges back within 20 mins ;-) that is the advantage.

But as per observations and facts, the slower the battery charging speeds, longer the battery life and more cycles experienced in the long run.

So no bad experience here in the Pixel 7 Pro department.

Cheers ;-)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jaseman:
Since I installed the 14 BETA my battery "seems" to be even better than when I was on stable 13. YMMV
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] alexandruvlad:
Thank you for the inputs. I'll keep experimenting with various settings (that make sense, of course)

I kept reading that "Tap to Wake" on the lock screen is a big drainer, for example.

Don't know what to make of that. That also means that Face Unlock is a drainer, as well, because the camera needs to be "enabled" in the background for the face scan.

Based on this - we should keep our phones completely featureless just to get more battery time? I guess that's not the point :D
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Tap to check phone doesn't drain battery.

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but WiFi and Bluetooth scanning can cause some battery drain.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jhjhjhjhjhjh:
I have no abnormal battery drain.

Running Android 14 Beta 5

I turn off all background data and internet access to all apps that don't need those permissions to function.

(Took me about 20i minutes to find apps with background permissions Enabled) worth the time though , I do this on all roms i run stock or custom..

I disable Digital wellbeing..

No scanning in background (wifi,bluetooth,NFC)

No face unlock just fingerprint scanner or pin pattern

Keep mobile data on LTE

use Wifi if available at all times..

DNS set to dns.adguard.com

I keep my governor on performance to try to keep the frequencies from spiking up and down all day.

My SOT is around 11 hours..
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] HipKat:
You should make a list of those apps, making it easier for other users - like me! lol

Curious about the Face Unlock. Why would that add to battery drain?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] bobnot:
Camera uses a ton of battery. Why? Only Google knows probably because of spiking the frequencies to run some novel AI filtering vs in the background.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] HipKat:
That makes sense
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Fishawy:
Mind sharing how root helped with that? Certain modules/tweaks?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] NippleSauce:
I would leave Adaptive Connectivity Enabled and just use my phone normally.

I'm not sure why, but it seems to take my P7P around 1-2 weeks of usage (after each manual OS update via adb/fastboot) before it understands my usage patterns and begins providing me with a ton of battery life.

Before those two weeks pass, my battery drains rather quickly. After those two weeks pass, my battery is usually sitting at around 60-70% after my work day ends (so with my phone being used from 6AM to around 6PM).
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] bobnot:
Universal GMS Doze by gloeyisk

Analytics Disabler by foobar66(disabled user apps only using termux)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Fishawy:
Thanks for that.

Does GMS Doze affect/delay your notifications? Last couple of releases had that issue on both my OnePlus 9 Pro and P7P.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] bobnot:
I haven't noticed that but I haven't looked for it or really needed time sensitive notifications to were it would be a issue I'd face.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] WingedCow:
Pixel battery drain is a feature, not an issue :ROFLMAO:
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] reg66:
As far as I'm aware, there isn't a version for A14, yet. But, CleanSlate kernel has worked wonders for me in reducing battery drain. As and when that gets released for 14, that could be one to look into... assuming you're not thinking of going back to 13 any time soon
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] pgrey2:
Your camera is not "always on", it's triggered, say by a touch-tap/lift-to-wake/power-button/app, depending on what you have enabled or permissioned.

Weak mobile signal is probably one of the highest battery drain processes of all time, across pretty much all phones. If it's constantly re-negotiating the signal, or looking for better tower(s),.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jhjhjhjhjhjh:
Lol .

Untill we see solar powered phones..

all phones have a battery drain.

I've experienced some decent battery phones

none of them lasted a lifetime 😭

I do remember a phone called zte zmax.

That phone took me 4 days before i needed to charge it again. Thinking back. the software was 4.4.2 kitkat with no high end specs..

I guess the technology isn't there yet to run a sports car and have a family wagon miles per gallon.Like my BMW needed 91 octane and a Honda only needing 87..lol
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] bobnot:
Solar powered phones are on Amazon......

Just run em on e85! LoL
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] pgrey2:
Just get one of those super-fantastic Qi batery-pack adapters, and attach it to your P7P.

Oh, and leave it out in the direct sunlight, probably for a couple of days, to get it ready to fully charge... :rolleyes::)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] WingedCow:
Harness the power of thermal charging and Pixel will charge itself.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] MagicMan3311:
very funny guys. thats a serious problem :ROFLMAO:

today i am at 93% after 1.5h

so maybe it will get better after time.

the only thing i have done is uninstalling spotify which i have "restored" from my old phone. There was a hint here or in another forum that this might be a problem.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] MagicMan3311:
Ok, so i think the removal of spotify fixed the problem. After 3.5h only 15% battery drain.

I have a android head unit and i'm trying to get a permanent dock that always shows below the app, basically like what you get on android auto, with a few shortcuts and an all apps button.

Does anyone know if anything like this exists?
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] twixyfig:
So i was browsing thru the files of this phone because why not and i found a sound named WirelessChargingStarted.ogg

Why does it have this file in the system files if it dosent have wireless charging?

Also i found some files named TW_battery_caution.ogg and TW_battery_swelling_warning.ogg

Im really confused
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] ShaDisNX255:
Because Samsung is lazy and leaves a lot of left over stuff from their flagships. There's plenty of code left over too from stuff like DeX as well from what I've seen.

Yea there is also air hover files for some reason lol

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Fooking Rekt:
Since the battery for the S10 is tiny and the battery life is bad, has anyone here bought an expanded battery that actually works? If yes, which one?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
No such thing. The OEM battery is as compact as safely doable. If any room is left it's by design and needed. You need to go to a better battery technology to get more power capacity.

All Samsung's should be optimized otherwise they can be wicked hungry power hogs.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] schwinn8:
In addition, often times, the claims from third party batteries are just lies. They don't carry as much capacity as they claim to, and/or are made unsafely so that the battery is more of a hazard as well. If the manufacturer can make a battery with higher capacity in the same space, they would have already done that.

This is also why I got an S10+ instead... much larger battery. I recommend you watch battery size when choosing your next phone. Also, your current S10 may simply have worn out the battery over time... so it feels smaller now... you may just need a new battery or new phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Fooking Rekt:
I didn't get the S10+ because of the disgusting camera notch, though it would have been cheaper to get it (€50 extra for +512GB storage and +4GB RAM).

I've looked at battery life tests from when the S10 was just released and it performed quite poorly.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] schwinn8:
My S10+ (USA version) doesn't have a camera notch - it has an oval for the camera in the top right area. As I look online, the S10 had a single circle (due to the single camera there, of course).

I hated the crapple notch as well... so stupid. Frankly, I rarely use the front camera, I'd take a phone without it and without any notch.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] PJ6363:
Peoples,

There appears to be an issue with Spb programs and the latest WM6.1 builds.....what I would like to do is collate who has these issues, with what ever ROMs, and with whatever Spb programs (Diary, Plus, Backup, Traveller, etc).

If you have had any of these issues pop up please post here and I will supplement by posting to the Spb boards to hasten their repair!!

I know there are no issues with SwiftB ROM's to 7.5, and that there are issues with Duttys latest (for starters) and Spb Diary and Spb Pocket Plus....

Cheers and thanks :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Davey101:
I've not encountered any issues. What does the bug look like?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] PJ6363:
The bug is such that the drop-down menus for changing the settings in the program do not work...they just show up as blank. I fyou have a D-pad you can motion up-down to select, but if using stylus when touching the box nothing appears and nothing can be selected.

Recognised issue by Spb how are attempting to correct....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jasonkruys:
I don't think you will if you are still using Panosha's simple rom...it only happens in the latest WM builds (AKU 1.4.3 or later maybe?). That ROM is based on 20273.1.3.3.... Still, if you are confirming that you dont see the problem, it will at least help identify exactly when it started, which build...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] omar302:
I'm using Dutty's V3.6 ROM and have the same issue.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] PJ6363:
Spb: "... issue noted and being resolved"

Thanks all for the replies to date....Have posted a few comments on the Spb Forums and there are genuine issues that are "going to be resolved in the next v.x release". When this happens no-one at Spb will say (except there was an indication that Spb Pocket Plus could be resolved in Dec 08!!)

Anyway, the Blackstone folk only have latest ROM build and they are suffering/complaining most and loudest, so we should see this resolved "soon".....

BTW, if you are an Spb Forum Member post away there to get the issue "elevated and accelerated" for resolution!!! ;)

Same problem with official 2.03.

Just a little tip:

It is possible to choose from the drop down menus by pressing the first number or letter in the words in the drop down menu (you must knoe what is in the menu...). E.g. pressing 1 will run you through 1kB, 10kB, 100kB when choosing data.

[Android Head-Units] TankOGuinness:
Hi All,

I purchased a T3 installed with Tlink5 for my 2012 Honda Civic a few weeks ago, this is the third headunit I have installed. It worked fine for a couple days, but now the audio from *just* Tlink5 has issues playing. The issue, and temporary fix, are outlined below:

PROBLEM: Audio will not play through Tlink5 until power is cycled (regular headunit plays through fine)

*TEMPORARY* SOLUTION: Audio issue resolves itself if power is quickly cycled.

Turn ignition to ACC (accessory) mode.

Let unit turn on completely

Open Tlink5 app and connect phone

Let Tlink5 connect to device

Once CarPlay is connected, turn Car Ignition (Engine) ON.

Headunit will quickly cycle (screen goes black and then comes back on directly to Carplay/Android Auto screen)

Audio will now play until unit is turned completely off (i.e when taking keys out of ignition)

Video:

The above temporary solution will work similarly if ignition is turned on, same steps are taken, and then quickly cycled to Accessory and back to ignition.

I'm unsure how to fix this problem long-term. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm thinking it may be worth trying a different Android Auto/Carplay .apk, but not sure which is best? Thanks in advance everyone!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajahspice:
I recently decided to factory reset my Fire Tablet 10 HD, which I usually do when any Android device becomes laggy. However, after the reset, I realized that the tablet had been previously modified using an XDA tool by someone else. Before the reset, the interface resembled a typical Android device, with only the Play Store and default Android features, without any Amazon apps or ads preinstalled.

After launching the tablet following the factory reset and conducting some research, I started to figure out what was going on. Unfortunately, it was too late, as the new firmware (OS 7.3.2.7) had already been automatically installed OTA. (The person who initially modified the tablet had disabled OTA updates).

Now I'm looking to revert things back, or at least partially. It seems that using the same tool on my tablet with the current firmware version won't work, as OTA firmware updates will eventually remove Google services again. So, I'm wondering about the most logical and rational solution in this particular situation. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. Yes, I realize that I performed the factory reset without considering that Fire Tablets were designed and manufactured primarily for the American market. I feel like my IQ tends to 0 atm

[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] X_shinobi.apk_X:
first and foremost there is no twrp that works for this model, but there are custom recoveries, from lineage, and RisingOS. secondly you dont need twrp or recovery to flash vbmeta to disable verification checks, fastboot (bootloader mode) works just fine. this phone does have A/B slots, so before you flash use getvar command to find out which slot to flash.

personally i use fastboot enhanced gui to flash in fastboot, it gives the option to disable verity checks when flashing vbmeta
