[GUIDE] How I got 5 hours SOT in Pixel 2 - Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion

First of all, hope everyone is fine.
As the title says, after more than one week testing I am getting 4:30-5 hrs of SOT.
I must say that I am using this Pixel 2 since March 2019 so it isn't a new device with a new battery.
Install the latest factory image (August 2020)
ROOT your Pixel
Install Sultan Kernel (https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2/development/kernel-sultan-kernel-t3802158) I am using August 14 build; then install TWRP and Magisk in the following order:
Sultan Kernel > TWRP > Magisk
Once the phone boot, activate the Developer Settings and search the option Quick settings developer tiles. From there, enable Sensors off button and a new toggle will appear on Quick Settings
Install GSam for better battery tracking
Install Naptime (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.franco.doze&hl=es) and activate Agrresive doze, Re-apply doze after wakeups, Disable motion detection and Disable aggressive doze when charging
Deactivate Always on screen.
Go to Settings > Security > Smart Lock > Corporal Detection and just activate and deactivate the option
I dont use RCS messages so in order to deactivate them I inactivated official Messages application and I am using Textra. First download Textra from PlayStore, then open the app, select Textra as default messages app and later inactivate Google Messages app.
Since we have ROOT and with a similar tool (I use SD Maid but any tool that lets you inactivate any Android package) inactivate the package com.google.android.ims and delete all the updates installed to this package.
Now just inactivate the sensors, do a reboot and let your Pixel charge to 100%..
With all this settings I got during all this testing time those 4:30-5hrs sot.
Take in mind that during almost all this testing time, the sensors are turned off (because I found that what was draining my battery was the sensors) meaning that applications like Maps, Whatsapp calls or Camera doesnt work till the sensors are turned on again. Not a big deal because activating or inactivating the sensors is just a swipe on Quick Settings .

Has anyone tried this on Android 11 beta ? via pixel 2

QS toggle is already in developer settings no need to flash sultan kernel, just root and rock with nap time and sensors off switch.
My first day and I got more than 4 hours and still 35% left

Full Guide for Best Battery Saver

Hello guys! I'm new here, and sorry for my english mistakes, but I'm Brazillian member, and I will share some information about my actual Moto X XT1058, that I search about two weeks for save my battery, and now It's great!
When finish my setup, I charged up to full and the battery info now is:
48% - Not charging
1d2h14m
Screen - 25%
Phone - 17%
System - 11%
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
* The important part is here, when screen use generally takes more than 60%.
** I use my phone on the day to talk with clients and Whatsapp (less whatsapp because I'm working ^^). And on the night time I use my Whatsapp with more frequency and listen to music.
1 - WHAT ROM
CyanogenMOD Nightly Version for MOTO X
Generally the ROM is not the important part, but if your ROM uses a kernel that have no way to make some system changes, than this will be a problem.
2 - GENERAL SETTINGS
Wifi - OFF
Bluetooth - OFF
Mobile Data - ON
Bright - Lower % - I will talk about the APP
Sync - OFF
Lock Screen - 15s
Rotation - OFF
Sound - Not vibrate
Notifications - Not vibrate
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
* To vibrate the phone, requires more battery than to play a song, than avoid to set vibration.
3 - SYSTEM CHANGES
On CyanogenMOD, you go to:
Settings -> System -> Performance
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
- On Performance Profile menu, set the profile to 'Economy' in default its on 'Balanced'.
- Above the profile settings, you have to DISABLE the 'Activate profile by APPs'.
- On System Performance, go to Processor, and change:
Governator -> 'Ondemand'
Minimum Frequency -> '384 Mhz'
Maximum Frequency -> '1350 Mhz'
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
* The maximum Frequency seted here is more than suficient for my use, but you can adequate for yours.
4 - CLEAN UNUSED APPs
Here is a important part, but you have to stay calm and do not uninstall important system files or aplications.
To make that securely, I recommend to install the Titanium Backup, and you have to be ROOT.
Here is my list of the DISABLED things on my CyanogenMOD ROM, until now, I have no problem, and its stable

5 - INSTALL APPs
I have installed some APPs to keep my Moto X secure and fast, some paid services, but I think on my security in first place.
Kaspersky Security
- Activate the Thief Controle
- Activate the SIM Security
- Activate the Browser Security
- Desativate the notification icon
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Dashclock Roman
- Install the custom DashClock
- Enable the Custom Widget on Lock Screen Settings
- Enable the Maximizate Widget on Lock Screen Settings

Click to collapse
Dash Notifier for DashClock Roman
- Enable Notifier for WhatsAPP
- Enable Notifier for SMS
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Clean Master
- Make a CLEAN
- Make a boost memory
- Activate the Auto Clean on Screen OFF
- ADD some APP to ignore list like: WhatsAPP, Apollo (Music), Dashclock Widget
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
JuiceDefender
- Enable the Advanced MODE
- Setting UP with your preference
- This APP have a ugly interface, but it Works and have a guide for all the features
- This have a feature to shutting down the own service when receive a SMS with your custom code, Its very useful to use with the Kaspersky Thief Service and others app that will use your GPS or Data mode.
- The feature of the Bright is too helpful for battery, keep that in mind.
- Bellow my JuiceDefender Settings, they are on PT-BR, but you can understand:

6 - GENERAL TIPS
- Avoid to use white or colorfull backgrounds, wallpaperks...because on the AMOLED screen they will use much more battery. I use a black and red wallpaper/lock screen, and a black wallpaper on whatsapp.
- Avoid to keep the music on when you are not listening.
- The Dashclock Widget with the Whatsapp Notifier, will prevent you to unlock the screen unnecessarily.
- The default bright on the Moto X is too high, and with the JuiceDefender the minimum bright are lower and more quality for your read on the day and night. A high bright on night and bed, can cause you sleeplessness problems.
7 - FINAL
Thanks for the atention, and this is a guide for people who want a better battery life.
I spend much time to understand all these things and make my best Moto X changes.
Have question? Feel free to ask.
Have more APPs to help on the battery saver? Share with us too.
8 - BATTERY SAVER APPs
I forgot to tell...my JuiceDefender Ultimate are crashing and stoped to work alone...this is bad. But on the Play Services have too many other Battery Saver APPs.
Another APP for battery in place of the buged JuiceDefender, that I recommend is:
Easy Battery Saver
But that is for your choice, and I think just the JuiceDefender have the bright control with the minimal % reduced.
If you want to install other Baterry APP, like the EBS, that not have bright control, I really recommend you to install these app:
Screen Filter

Report your bugs on 6.0 Z5

I think this topic will be usefull for everyone.
So what I've found is when I separately cover each speaker with my finger, upper one (next to sony logo) is louder than lower one, there is more sound and bass, lower one is only playing higher notes and it sounds low.. I had no problems on 5.1, now I have that problem on 6.0, anyone else?
Well, in my case i can hear some differences between the upper and lower speakers.... honestly i never check this before but i think that's normal.

Louder phone resulting in cracklings in upper speaker.
Automatic optimisation with headset plugged in causes MASSIVE distortion (Russian firmware or Nordic combined, wipe all data)
@goRt, got that too this morning. Managed to tap it and toggle it on/off and worked fine after.

In fact, every system icons are affected by the problem. You see the icon "decal", but not the actual icon. A moderator on the official Sony forum has already escalated that issue to the developement team

I am little dumb today:
You mean Nova launcher screen lock as "cannot make changes to home screen"? Cannot find any other nova settings regarding "screen lock"ing
Fingerprint
The fingerprint unlocking fonction stops suddenly, the phone must be restarted to reactivate the service and work again.
When the adaptative brightness is on, the dark tones come greys.
The battery loses 6% overnight on standby mode.

@Pressburg, Nova Settings > Gestures & inputs > Double tap (or any other gesture) > Screen lock. Now use that gesture on the homescreen and try to unlock using the fingerprint.

oh, just tried that. The snesor just opened the pattern which I set up as a secondary unlock possibility. So i guess you're right
EDIT: but when you lock the screen with the power button or just let it lock by itself, the fingerprint works. even when the gesture lock is on. odd..

Marshmallow - Missing functions (Doze/App Standby; System UI Tuner)

Hi all,
I finally updated my H440n via "LG PC Suite" from Android 5.0.1 (rooted) to Android 6 (which is quite nice and very fast in comparison to 5.0.1). Before I did that, I tried to inform me as good and much as possible.
Hence, there are several features/functions I was looking forward to, inter alia:
1) System UI Tuner (activated via long-pressing the Settings-Symbol in the Quick Settings Dropdown) --> Does not work
2) Doze/App Standby (should be in the Battery-Menu under a submenu; via the three dots in the right-up corner) --> The three dots are not there
In the general thread I believe to remember that, with respect to (1), LG was not implementing the System UI Tuner; so one would only find it in an AOSP ROM, correct?
As far as (2) is concerned, I'm a bit "shocked" not finding this option/menu. Besides the App Permission Management (without root) these two features/functions were a main reason in upgrading the firmware. Does anyone know if Doze is active without any "settings"? Regarding App-Standby I believe it is missing, as there is no settings menu, so the user is unable to exclude an app from this Standby; am I right? Or is there any way to activate it (e.g. via the - mainwhile activated - developers menu)? :fingers-crossed:
Thanks for any help. :good:
Kind regards,
Fazi
PS: Meanwhile I, again, use Greenify (as a replacement for App Standby).
Doze is enabled by default on all devices, if I remember correctly. While it might not show any options, It feels like it's definitely there when looking at the battery life. Also, I use Force Doze to send my phone into doze more often / faster than by default.
As far as I can recall, ForceDoze can enable the original MM feature and add some more settings. However, I've read somewhere that the reason why it's disabled is that LG has implemented their version of the doze function natively, like they integrated features of the Tuner to their own ecosystem. Something that basically suspends apps under certain circumstances. And battery management available for many apps unlocks the full potential for that behaviour. Personally, I've tested the ForceDoze and the untampered feature for LG, and LG is noticeably better. If I genuinely use my phone rarely, distributed in large blocks of time, I can extend battery life to up to three days. That tells me that there's definitely something under the hood, and that it works.

Thanks so far. I hoped that LG implemented it, only without showing any settings/menu.
On the contrary, since I use Android 6, my 1WeatherWidget is not refreshing the "clock" any more. After about half an hour it gets stuck. Just if I open the App via tapping the weather of that widget, the clock refreshes to the current time. The android clock and the alarm are luckily not affected. Could that be a failure of the LG-implemented doze?
In the general App-Menu, under the point "Battery Management" at any app installed so far, there is no settings-possiblity at all. This is why I was wondering, if LG really implemented anything (Doze/App Standby) in their MM ROM.
Besides, both of you didn't mention "App Standby", which would be a bit tricky by LG to implement without offering the user any kind of whitelist, right? :silly:
Thanks for the hint with force doze, which I already read a while ago here on XDA, but interpreted it wrong. I found this feature in Greenify too under "agressive doze". As I already use that app I will give it a try in Greenify in a few days (try to whitelist "1WeatherWidget") and keep you updated.
Thanks again.

I think LG took a different approach.
The screenshot above is from my battery usage app list. AquaMail has a setting to ignore battery optimization, and it works whenever I get an email, no matter the inactivity period. I've only found one other app that gave the option. (No weather app, btw. - if you find one, let me know!)
It seems that the app must provide some concrete setting in order for this doze exception to be functional. I have no idea if this is a Marshmallow thing, an LG quirk, or simply a case of a really good app developer, because the AquaMail development cycle is off the charts.
The option, if it exists, is only accessible from the battery view. The only way I've found to check is if you go to Apps, select an app, and then review its battery usage. Though this doesn't work if the app wasn't used in a while.
On a different note, it might be possible to access this battery menu if it was secreted away by LG. There are several such menus, like one for multi window management, that are actually present in the rom, just not functional on our device. Many can be accessed by some apps like More Shortcuts, that list all the calls of a given app, like Settings. Though it requires much more research...
Well I'll be. This was easier than I'd thought. You need to use a custom shortcut app like More shortcuts, and find the shown activity within the settings.
This is what you get:
WhatsApp and AquaMail were already checked. I presume this is the exclusion list. Checked my weather app in there, hopefully I 'll know by morning.
Sent from my LG-H440n using Tapatalk
Thanks a lot for the guidance. I set system language on German (Austria) and needed some time to find it under "Optimierungen ignorieren" but now I have a shortcut on the homescreen right into that hidden menu. Great man. :good: Also thanks to Alanon for the hint with "More shortcuts" (from now on Ms).
After installing Ms, my wheater app 1weather suddenly was on that whitelist. But I remember that there was no option before installing Ms. Also after unticking the checkbox and deinstalling Ms, I could not see the "menu point" in the app viewer (or under the battery statistics) again. So it seems for me that Ms is a nice assistance for battery saving (and whitelisting) reasons.
I will know check, if the clock of 1weather (and besides: also of some other weather widgets except AccuWeather) keep in time. I will report soon.
Thank you so ****ing much Alanon! I thought that activity was still there (I have a LG X Power, and LG has also hidden that option at Battery Settings), I just needed to find some way to launch it. I've searched and used the ****ty app Activity Launcher but it hadn't showen me that activity, but now it worked like a charm with More Shorcuts. Thank you!

ROM & Kernel customization options wishlist

Post up your wish-list of custom options for custom ROM's (non OP) and Kernels and I'll add them to the OP.
This is for options that you aren't finding in any ROM, or at least not in your favorite ROM.
Feel free to mention your current ROM if you like but this thread is NOT about which ROM is the best or your favorite.
Please don't turn it into that. :good:
I'll try to bold new suggestions every day or so till the thread gets tired.
*Ability to filter out specific notifications from appearing (ie: NotifyClean)
*Bring "only show running apps" option back to Slim Recents.
*Clearly mentioned in OP if rom supports encryption/decryption.
*Day/Night - Provide option to switch between two different Substratum themes at toggle of a button.
*Fix the earphone bug.
*Fully working OOS camera
*Now Playing features from Pixel 2 XL detect song from lockscreen via ambient
*Option to remove USB Debugging notification is missing on some newer ROM's.
*Ring on charge complete
*Vibration - Would like to have option for more than 100% vibration.
- Clearly mentioned in OP if rom supports encryption/decryption. That is not always the case and people ask many times in the same thread.
- Long press back to kill foreground app.
Fully working OOS camera times 100. Literally the only thing stopping me from switching from OOS betas. I'm aware of the Google Camera functionality and also about all its problems.
Ability to filter out specific notifications from appearing. For example, my wife and I 'share' an Amazon Prime Photos account. I don't want a 'Successfully uploaded photos from your 3rd device' notification every time she uploads something. But I don't want to mute notifications for the whole app (or sometimes even notification group) as I may not get the 'upload progress' notifications' anymore. The Xposed module Notify Clean was perfect pre-Nougat and AutoNotification works alright post-Nougat, but it would be nice if this was baked into the ROM.
OP updated.

Just FYI, this is already available in every custom ROM I've tried so far.
You just have to enable the navigation bar options and then go into the button editor. I set up all my ROM's with this. And set the home button to open camera on long press.

OMG, if NotifyClean ever gets updated for Oreo I will go back to using Xposed again.
I really miss that app and some of the others by that dev. :good:
Hello there,
First off, the only couple things that stopping me to move from stock to a custom rom is the OOS camera (as mentioned above) and mostly the earphone bug. The mic on the phone and the earphones seems to be activated during a call and it gets pretty annoying to hear an amplified background of your environment and the person's on the other end, seems like most custom roms have this problem.
I've also long wanted to see ''ring on charge complete'' on the OP5T.
Thank you for asking.

I think this might be an option using Light Flow?
If you really want it then it might be worth looking into.
It does custom ringtones for certain actions.
And they can be backed up for ROM re-flashes as long as the ringtone is stored in the usual spot /system/media/sounds/etc.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rageconsulting.android.lightflow
To clarify my personal request here:
*Day/Night - Provide option to switch between two different Substratum themes at toggle of a button.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
A few ROM's provide built in day/night theme options.
But they don't theme apps like phone or calculator or anything else.
They only theme the settings and drop-down and a couple other things.
I want a nice non-tasker hack.
And would be willing to donate for it :lol:

Can't answer calls?

Does anyone else have this issue? Most of the time, when somebody calls, I get nothing that comes up on my screen. It's totally blank, no options to answer or reject the call.
I've factory reset a couple times, once when unlocking the bootloader to root it (this was after it happened with stock OS).
Any ideas on how to fix this? Some calls work, most don't...
Yes!
I have the same issue on my Oneplus 8 Pro!
It's an awful bug.

I've found a temporary solution : I've installed a third phone app, set it as default phone app, and then set the OnePlus phone app as default again.
after reboot, the issue is gone for a few days.
but it come again...
Maybe it can work for you too?

I do have the should I answer app installed which is supposed to be set as the primary dialer, and does have its own UI for answering calls, but that doesn't come up either. Even when swapping from one to the other, rebooting or not.
I had a chat with OnePlus, they told me to reset my network settings which I did, and it began to work just fine, but today it's doing it again and I've done nothing to the phone. Changed no settings, installed no apps, etc...
My solution is, answering a call by holding the phone to the ear (in quick gestures, lift to answer or something alike (I'm Dutch))
It doesn't show the button but it works
Honestly,
I have had many phones... LG Gx, Galaxy Sx, Huawei PxxPro, and the OnePlus 6.
The OnePlus 6 was my best experience.
But I'm very disappointed about the amount of bugs on this 1000€ OnePlus 8 Pro...
I think I found the solution... I might be wrong, need to do more testing.
Settings > Battery > Battery Optimization > Tap the 3 dots at the top right corner and select Advanced optimization
On that screen, I disabled the "Sleep standby optimization" and so far it's worked perfectly.
I did this because a lot of my apps, with and without optimization would not give me notifications until I unlocked me phone, as though my phone was deep sleeping. Makes me wonder if this was preventing the phone app from displaying the UI because it was in too deep of a sleep.
This is already disabled on mine, and I have the issue [emoji6]
Do you guys use Android auto? I was having this issue after disconnecting from my car and car mode is still running.
Hey, it may be the cause!
How did you solve that?
@smalltownbird ?
I don't really know. I factory reset and it has been fine.

Short term solution is, after you unplug from your car, in your notifications it says something like driving mode enabled. Click it and you should be able to answer calls again.

15 days ago, I have clicked on the option to avoid this notification to display (on the notification option). [emoji26][emoji26]
Can you tell me the name of the app who "send" this notification? So that I can re-enable it?
I did the same thing, that's why I factory reset. I could not find it anywhere to reenable.
I've tried to clear cache and data from android auto. I'll see if it works the next time I take my car
Maybe you can try something to help me?
When the notification is displayed, you swipe it on the left, and click on the wheel : the name of the app I'll be displayed on top.
See the pictures above

It didn't work [emoji29][emoji29]
So, I've found the answer
It's true, it's related to the driving mode.
As I have chosen, a few weeks ago to hide the notification related to the "driving mode" still open when I leave my car, I was fxcked.
I've wipe cache of the phone app : no result
I've reset presets of the phone on android settings : no results.
I've wiped cache of the phone : victory : the problem is solved : I have the notification to close the "driving mode" still open.
So if you want to do the same thing :
Power off your OnePlus 8 Pro.
Push power and low volume at the same tame until the phone ask you your code .
You now select English language, wipe cache and data, wipe cache, ok and then reboot.
Don't wipe data, just cache, or you will loose all your datas [emoji6]
How has it been working for you? I still have the issue even after doing what your said.
