Battery life on Android P - Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion

I think you guys will be very happy with the battery life on Android P (FYI this is with Greenify installed and basic optimizations)
Let me know if you have any questions about battery life on Android P
Obviously apps stats at the bottom are messed up, considering they removed app stats and it is enabled as an experimental feature

I'm still getting the best battery life I've ever gotten from any phone on Oreo, so any improvements are all the better.

Meh...I'll stick to "O" ????

Your device must be rooted.
I don't see how that is possible.
Also what apps did you use during your usage. Better to show that with battery stats

Yep, it's rooted. Just goes to show how deceiving SOT can be, and why you can't compare your stats to anyone else. My usage is based mostly on reading and posting on XDA, 90% on wifi, some phone calls, texts, YouTube, and chrome. Things change a lot for me when Summer comes with farm work and the device moving a lot. :good:

I like my devices stock. I had note 8 for a day or two but hated the battery life so instead got a pixel 2 XL. I get pretty good battery life but nothing like yours. I'm happy with 7hrs SOT

I have a Pixel 2, but I go back and forth between both forums since there's so much commonality.
I have excellent battery life on P, better than 8.1 with the same usage pattern. Like @Badger50 says you can't truly compare from person to person, only from release to release. I have 2 Gmail accounts syncing, 1 Exchange account on Nine, most of my communication is through Facebook Messenger, but I also make video calls through Duo, and I use GPS (Waze, Runtastic, etc) heavily. Good battery life for me would be awful for Badger, but my battery life compared to 8.1 is better.

looks like normal usage to me

I get 7hrs SOT, decent I guess

I hope Android P actually does help with battery life as it would be nice to get more screen on time

Dear ics users!

I've been pondering over whether or not to upgrade to ICS now as the german version is released. My question is whether or not the battery life is similar to what you get with gingerbread. I've attached an image of what i get on a normal day, when i am at work and use my phone normally and not when i am sitting at home and never let my phone hit deep sleep!
Sure you get a lot of added features but battery life is what i really care about at i need to go sometimes two days without charge.
Got around 74 pct after 9 hrs of extreme light usage.

How does it compare to ICS hour by hour? any difference would you say?
I would skip this Samsung release of ICS. Samsung's interpretation of ICS is not terribly different then GB unless you run a different launcher. I thought battery life was worse on the German release. With the added risk of bricking a few have experienced, don't do it.
If you want try the ICS, go with this one;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1627854
With this one, you can easily and safely role back to GB from a nandroid backup. This one does not have Touchwiz and the SPen is not fully functional as it is in TW.
I find battery better on GB personally but not by much when u compare it to the silky smooth quickness of ICS

It's a shame because i really wanted to put ICS on but if my battery is going to die out in a day, will be pointless to have. Thanks for the advice people!
I'm getting about the same, maybe slightly better its hard to judge, yup never use your phone the same each day

For me so far samsungs 's ICS has not even been close to the battery life I got on Stunner. I'm a little disappointed but not enough to go back to ASOP or GB. Oddly enough I love TW with ICS Elements fused in.

It looks like it drops pretty quickly even when your screen isn't on. Are you sure you don't have wakelock problems? I think your battery life could be better, even without ICS.

Well i've just downloaded the app, xda edition ofcourse, lets what happens but judging from my deep sleep time, doesn't seem like i have a wakelock issue.
Any settings i need to change in the application or leave it to run its magic?
My battery life is noticably worse in ICS. I'm getting a lot of odd wakelocks that I never saw in GB.
This is my phone . You decide.

Well, if wakelocks aren't the problem.. Then I don't know.. ICS battery life seems better in general, but GB shouldn't be that different (and wasn't for me me I used it). Not that your battery life is bad or anything, but it could be better. Like I said, your phone in deep sleep should hardly use battery at all.
Well looks like I will have to test it out and see the outcome, looks like I shouldn't get my hopes up.

Mate 9 - 1 month later

Fellow XDA members check out my video on my mate 9 after owning it for a month, [Mod Edit
I'm also a power user and I have to say I've gotten 8 hours SOT. When I got this phone I used the daylights out of it. Email social media, YouTube, web and couldn't kill this thing. I agree low light pics aren't good but I do like the camera otherwise. I would have liked to have seen the price around $500 seeing how great the Axon 7 is at $400.

Could you please tell me about the camera lens? I mean to ask about the tiny scratches on the camera lens after usage of a week or two, these scratches are only visible under the light when camera lens is facing the light source. please update about it.
WHY?!
Help me. I am almost sure that my battery drains so much after update to B138 and not physical battery defect. Please convince me. Am I right?

HI,
Im struggling to understand how one is able to attain a SOT of even more than 4 hours. Could the signal strength be a factor for SOT?
I dont have bluetooth turned on nor wifi with automatic screen brightness, i barely get passed 3 hours. Heck, i dont even have the facebook app on the phone.
Please enlighten me on how you have managed to get an SOT of 8 hours. Thanks!:cyclops:
Other than the lock screen issue, the other two are just nitpicking, in my opinion.

Great video, disagree entirely with battery. This is the first phone EVER, that I do not have to charge before bedtime. Real life use. Everything else including the Samsungs will need a charge early evening at least. This one, never.
I agree about the screen... I'd have liked 2k.

That is so true even in my case. I use my phone like usual and I get 3-4 hours of SOT. Last night I went to bed, it was on 16%, so I put it on charge.
I am surprised when people around me talk about 6-7 hours of SOT. Makes me wonder, if my battery is bad, or perhaps I need to reset my phone and start again.
By the way, this is within a week of buying the mobile. I never saw more than 4 hours before last night.
I must say battery life is great . I am a heavy user too n I do not disable any stuffs except GPS ( enabled it only when needed). My MINIMUM SOT is consistently 9 hours . With greater usage of wi-fi 10-11 hours. Is quite similar to my other mi mix with higher capacity battery. These are similar SOT with Mate7, Mate8.
As comparison these are other SOT on my other phones I had used : s7e 6-7, one plus 3t 5-6, V20 5-6, iPhone 7+ usage 11-12

Camera at low light could improve further, it have some software issues.
If noticed that when battery low, the phone throttles graphics and cpu performance, i hope it will be resolved.
Also typing with swiftkey doesn't feel smooth as with my s7e, it has some delays, sometimes though it works fine.

Only get ~2 hours of on screen time - "Android System" battery drain

I am on the latest 7.0 beta, T-Mobile version, I am getting pretty frustrated. I only get ~2 hours of on screen time. Right now at 30% and Android System has used 1350 mAh and CPU total is close to 5 hours.
Attached some pictures from yesterday and basically the same exact thing - maybe one of the packages listed is killing the battery?
I know there are a lot of posts about this issue but nothing that I've found useful unfortunatlely.
Did you try a factory reset? That help me get good battery life.

Been thinking about doing that, but not sure why it got really bad all of a sudden. I could get 3 to 4 hours before.
I think I'll wait until the official release is out and then do a reset - hopefully it comes out soon.

I am getting pretty fed up. Thought the new updates would make it better but no go for me.
If only you got root, I strongly recommend using Myandroidtools/disable service. Samsung roms sucks pretty bad, I have never ever experienced something like battery drain on other phones. Since I disabled 80+ Google Services and some samsung bloat, android system takes about 2-4% drain after a whole day. I am using Renovate on nougat.
Looks like a lot of you are very unlucky. My battery life is superb! At the end of the day I still have ~35% battery remaining. I recharge every night regardless of how much battery I have left, so it does me just fine

I would strongly advise to stay away from any of those 'fancy' package disablers.
They do no good and often deteriate things. I have on average over 8hours SOT and never used disablers.
Most Samsung apps don't put any drain on the battery. It's things like Facebook etc that hog resources.
Yeah, if only i got Facebook apps installed. I have fully working locations, notifications and other stuff - most of services I disabled are feedbacks, silent loggers and stuff I dont need or use. Only corrupted app is Gmail - which I don't use.
I got sync switched on, lots of calls, auto brightness, voice assistant and usually get 5 hours SOT during my usage which isn't bad at all.
So not sure what did it, but I installed Greenify and also changed from 1080p to 1440p and I get about 3ish hours on screen time. Still terrible but will do for now.
My phone also feels faster after changing resolution back to 1440p. So weird.

I remember Samsung saying it only consumes a couple a percentage points.
This article tested and it's nowhere near 40%. And I use the phone about 15 hours before it gets charged again so it should have a huge impact.

Okay, stop reading useless news and try it by yourself. Phone dont go fully in doze mode with AOD on and keeps light and other sensors on like proximity to put more or less light in the aod screen.

I really don't think you're right as that's not my experience either. I cited the article because usually the tech websites have some experience - my anecdotal data, or yours, doesn't carry much weight.
As posted before, my screen time has increased and keeps going up. Got near 4 hours of on screen time today. Greenify must have killed a process that was putting the CPU on overdrive and which showed up under Android System. I shouldn't have to take the time to find fixes however since Samsung and the Doze feature should be doing this already.
I appreciate your advice, no need to get upset we're just having a discussion...

I don't really see a discussion in the fact that AOD uses a lot of battery if you keep it on all day, it's pretty much guaranteed that AOD is the main culprit. And your own experience with your phone and its settings is worth a lot more than the experiences from some tech website. Everyone's phone/settings is different.

Battery life seems better after I flashed Nathan's 3.0 kernel!
My battery life is quite a bit worse. Nothing has changed in my use of apps. On 8.1 July I would have just under 50% battery remaining. I use a slow charge dock at night next to my bed with Sleep as Android running, and back to 100% in the morning.
Now on 9.0 I am at less that 30% end of day, with the slow charge dock sometimes it just maintains charge, but often it decreases. This morning I was at 12% with 24% showing last night at bedtime.
When I plug into the dock, I check that charging shows on the lock screen and led light. I manually turn of always on display and enable immersive display with tiles in the pull down menu to insure the screen being blacked out at night, even though Sleep as Android runs.

My Battery life has gone for worse after installing P all fresh.. Battery life was good when i was on beta, once i moved to Final release of P and wiped everything for fresh start.. battery life been worse.. need to charge battery every 8-9 hours.. usage is same as i had earlier . I have even uninstalled many apps which were present on 8.1 and P beta...
Pretty disappointing.. Not sure if its only mine Pixel 2 XL.

Battery is def worse for me. I did OTA at first and then clean install. Same result. My battery life is better in 8.1 with always in display vs 9.0 WITHOUT always in display. Idle drain is worse also on 9.0 for me. I downgraded back to 8.1
Battery life for me has been better overall as well. Not a dramatic increase, as it was already pretty good on O, but it is noticeable.
Battery is not good for me on 9.0 why are some getting good and others not? Same hardware and software?

Hardware yes, software no, we all use different apps.
I'm trying to track it down, but the Battery section is showing nothing. I just installed BBS and granted the adb permissions hoping that will show me something.
And even if two people have the exact same apps installed, everybody has different usage of each app.

How are you getting this kind of battery. I used to get that on my galaxy S8+ but can't get 8 hrs sot on my pixel 2xl. I usually get maybe 7 max. Any tips?
Im not seeing any difference with the new feature adaptive battery, its neither worse or better
So in other words... Some ppl the worse than before, some better than, and others are getting about the same, all to varying degrees... That's nuts for real...

Very poor battery regardless of configuration

Hello. I have had a OP5 for the past year, having bought it a few weeks after it launched. However I have never gotten "good" battery performance. I just saw the thread where people posted their SOT, 8, 9 hours...? I can barely get 4, and that's if I'm on WiFi... The phone for me barely lasts a day? With far from heavy usage. I have tried various ROM/Kernel configurations but nothing helps. Currently I am using AEX and that's what I got yesterday (see attachment). Stock OOS is similar if not worse... I am soo frustrated about this issue. Could anyone point me towards what I am doing wrong? Battery stats don't show me anything wrong, I use normal apps like Facebook, Snapchat etc and they don't drain that much battery according to the stats. What could it possibly be?
Thank you

Battery stats don't show me anything wrong, I use normal apps like Facebook, Snapchat etc and they don't drain that much battery according to the stats. What could it possibly be?
Thank you

You can use better battery stats to explore more about your battery life. How to do that? Have a look at here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809

Thanks for the reply but I tried BBS, Accubattery and I'm currently trying Gsam, but none have showed me anything particularly wrong. It's just the percentage that goes down really fast

Here are my BBS stats for overnight, I lost 15% while the phone was simply left idle while I slept.

Sorry to say, but Screenshots are not a dump file. Also you have nearly 1h screen on time, that's too much.
Please read the linked thread about bbs and repeat the recording of a dump file according to the instructions in the first post.
Thanks!

Ah okay ! Was not aware of that, will do tonight then ?
(Not before tonight as I use my phone during the day and I have to let it sit for 6 hours right?)

Excellent idle drain of 0.5%/h, nothing to complain about. It's like mine. There's nothing to investigate imo.
Poor idle drain starts at 1%/h or above

I'm actually so surprised, it's the end of the day and I've gotten a very stable 3.5%/h on mixed usage.
Best battery life I've got since buying the phone over a year ago

I've just gone back to a much more routine lifestyle (summer is over) and so my phone followed suite, I don't use it so much during the day and the average drain of a whole day of small usage is 3-4% an hour which is great for me! However, whenever I start using is when things get out of hand, the usage shoots up to 20+% an hour. Very strange as it is obviously not a wakelock problem but a screen problem? Okay I don't have a 100% black substratum theme but I mean. The phone is designed to handle colours haha

Usage drain is nearly impossible to compare or analyze. But 20%/h is too much for op5 imp. Even with gaming.

I'm getting this massive wakelock from Google Services, even though I have the magisk module which is supposed to enable doze for it

Wakelocks are not dangerous in general. And Google play services are essential for majority of your communication.
Without a dump file like before its not possible to track down any issues to Google play services. And if you don't have a higher drain, it's just the observation of the wakelock.
