I have Note 3, stock 4.4 and rooted. I can usually go from 7am to 6pm with 40% battery left.
With the watch, now I have 13% left at the same time.

Mine's actually gotten better since I look at my phone less now.
Is there a lot of bluetooth interference in areas you spend most of your day?

I know in the office tons of people use Bluetooth. I can scan my office and the Note will show all kind of devices. Mouse, keyboard, phone, headset, etc.
If broth interference is the main cause, there is really nothing I can do to stop this from decreasing my battery life. [emoji25]

That's most likely the cause. I've read some articles that have blamed high bluetooth traffic for battery drain.
I would check your battery life under similar use during days you're not in the office if you'd like to say that is for sure the cause.
I wouldn't be surprised if moto makes more bluetooth improvements in a future update that helps the battery, just like the last one.
I have a Nexus 4 so it's ****ty as per usual
LG flex here. With watch I unplug at 6am and plug back in at midnight. With light/moderate use I end up with about 40% but I'll torrent and play games on my lunch break so it's more around 15%

The Android wear thread goes a bit berzerk when you shut off your watch, constantly trying to reconnect every X seconds.
That's really stupid - it should be triggering on whenever the bluetooth connection to the 360 is re-established. My phone has been OK otherwise (I think)
My battery life hasn't really changed at all on my phone. I guess it's possible that the reduced time I use my screen due to the watch makes up for the battery drain from bluetooth?
As been mentioned, if your phone and watch are out of range Android Wear will chomp away at your battery. I leave my watch on my desk at night and my phone on my nightstand (which apparently is just outside of BT range.) . If I do not disconnect Android wear, it will crush my battery when I unplug the phone in the morning.
For now, I just disconnect Android wear before bed. Hopefully a widget will come along at some point...or a tasker plugin
As far as when they are connected, any battery hit I take from Android Wear seems to be more than offset but the reduced screen time I use on my phone.

Have rooted Note 3 4.3 and Moto 3 watch... No battery issues here on phone and on watch...
I have a OnePlus One and the battery life has gone down some with the 360. When I check my Wakelocks, the "BlueToothRemoteDevices" is usually near the top. It's not too bad though, the OnePlus has a huge battery and great at battery management, so I still end the day with plenty of juice left.
Galaxy s5 battery life is exceptional. Even with the 360.

Just 1 hour screen time though.
With the one plus one, I go from. 7 am to 5pm and still have 60% left with about 3 hours screen one time. I easily can go 2 days with the Moto 360. It's mainly a notification device for me and watch so I'm not always playing with it
Sent from my OnePlusOne
I am having the same massive phone battery drain using the Moto 360. I don't have a problem with the watch battery life. But I certainly do on my phone. At work I don't use the phone (or watch) and the phone normally drains about 8% or something. Now that I have the 360 and Google Wear, my phone battery is more like 72% when I get home and almost all of that is shown as being used by "Google Wear".
This is a Nexus 5. The two are always within about 3 feet of each other. I have Google Now OFF. I have not installed any "apps" on the 360. I rebooted both this morning as a test, made no difference. Four days in a row of this now (since I got the 360). So then I tried to factory reset the watch and resinstalled Wear on the Nexus. No change.
As an example: Today I demoed the watch to two people. I did almost nothing else the entire day. I had no notifications at all. Almost 10 hours off the charger. I made no calls. I had no texts. I didn't even wake the phone AT ALL. 20% of my phone battery disappeared and 65% of it was ANDROID WEAR! 55m and 15s of CPU usage on WEAR???!!!?!?!! Why???? What could possibly justify that much load/power?
(Oh, and the watch only used 25% of its charge during the same period) ((Posted on the G-Watch forum, since I found a similar thread there first, but this forum is more appropriate))
Not to sound rude but you are complaining about going almost 10hrs and losing only 20% with a bluetooth device having constant contact with the phone?
That isn't "massive" at all. The reason it's 55% is because you didn't do anything with your phone at all, apparently. If you had done ANYTHING ELSE at all Android wear wouldn't be at 55% because that is how it works. It's that high because nothing on your phone was doing anything else.

Yes. Most people are reporting almost no power usage from Android Wear. Reporting 65% battery use for something that is or should be almost "idle" is crazy. I have used other "real" bluetooth devices all the time and have never drain like this, and they certainly don't consume almost an hour of CPU time.

Of the 20% of the battery used, 65% of that was Android Wear. It doesn't matter what else MIGHT have been going on with the phone, Wear, alone, is draining power at the rate of 1.34% PER HOUR doing what should be essentially nothing. And yet that "nothing" required an hour of the CPU being busy? Put another way- if I were off the charger for 16 hours (a full awake day) I would be losing almost 22% of my battery... for nothing. Now, if I were actually DOING something with Wear during that time, it might be worth the 22% across the day.
it is doing something, it is talking to your watch.
On my Nexus 5...
Before i had the Moto 360 i'd end the day around 50% battery left.
With the Moto 360 im getting 40% at the end of day. (Moto 360 is @ 30-40% also with normal use).

I LOVE the Galaxy Nexus, but the rate at which the battery discharges is just ridiculous. I'll use the phone for 15 minutes doing things like Twitter or Web Browsing, and it'll discharge 5% in that time. To me, that is horrible. I'm being really conservative too. Throughout a day I try not to play videos, games, or anything else intensive because I know it'll ruin my battery life. Even on standby it discharges 5% in an hour. Typically I lose about 10% an hour and my max has been 12 hours so far.
I have auto sync turned on and keep the screen low when possible. I NEED auto sync on because of the nature of my work. Compared to my iPhone 4S battery is downright pathetic.
Today my usage consisted of one phone call, a few text messages, lots of Twitter, and light web browsing. Nothing too crazy. Again I'm being really conservative with my usage whereas on my iPhone I can do whatever I want and not worry. I'm just not seeing how people are getting 15+ hours and claim heavy usage. I'd love to believe that! The battery drains so fast during normal usage it may be a deal breaker for me.

It sounds like your definition of light usage is wrong.
I wouldn't consider heaps of twitter and some web browsing light usage. I would consider it moderate usage, in which case you seem to be in line with everyone else.
I agree with you in that the battery life isn't quite what I would have liked. Ideally I wouldn't have to worry about battery at all, and I'd be able to play games and browse the web as much as I like, but for normal usage it's fine.
The next Nexus though, man, that will only have to be charged once a month. I can't wait.

Twitter hardly taxes the processors at all. Refreshing it every so often should hardly take any battery life at all. Web Browsing I can understand, but my total time browsing today probably amounts to 10 minutes total.
I wonder how much of the drain is attributed to the 4.65" screen. It's a monster.

I expect the battery life go improve within the first few cycles. I had a similar experience with the Nexus S last year.

Most of it. 720p Super AMOLED HD is killing the battery. The only way to last a long time is to not turn the screen on.

almost 3hours of screen from 10h standby!! mate give us a break and get back 4s. !!

i dont know what you want... you will never get anything similar from for example HTC sensation or even your favourite 4s.
dont take it on bad way..but if you dont know what to do - try to save your battery..
-lower your screen britness
-remove/disable apps that are producing the heavy drain (use betterbatterystats app)
-stop playing games - if you wanna long life for your battery.
-etc...

People using a G2x claim to get a day and a half... I'm lucky to get out of work. Push email for work is to blame I think. I get tons of emails (100 a day) and I think its taxing. From your pics, the screen used over 50% of it. That's a lot.
Sucks.
Also make sure your aren't turning on the screen every 5 minutes to check the status. Since your coming from an iOS, are you closing apps properly (back = close, home = minimize).
I'm not saying your crazy but just saying.

I had the same thing happen with the Nexus One. The battery wasn't that great but, got better after a few charge cycles.
I've never had a Android phone that could match the battery life of the Iphone. I can sit the iphone down at night without putting it on the charger and, if it's at 100% it will be at about 90-95% when I wake up. I did the same thing with my Mytouch 4G and, it was at 15%
To the OP, I would recommend keeping a charging cable with you when you out and about especially in your car. I've had car docks with a few of my android phones and, always keep the phone docked when I'm driving somewhere. It really helps.
What you also need to remember is this is the first release of ICS and is still in development so battery life my be improved in the next update. Like you mention iPhone4S there was massive battery leakage in the first release of IOS 5 which Apple apparently fixed in the newest update.. So maybe in the next update we can expect some bugs ironed out.
Used to only have ONLY 2-3 hours screen ON on my Vibrant so I know how SAmoled looks like.
I know iphone battery is good, but you need to consider the screen size too..
Get a spare battery with your "light usage", but I am thinking how much would it cost becoz of the NPC antenna.
Too good thing is, unlike iPhone, you can buy a spare battery and carry it with you.
3 hours of screen use is what the problem is. That is a long time. I wouldn't complain about that at all.

I already said I didn't play any games today and my screen brightness is low. For some reason Shadowgun stays in the battery info screen. I played the game two days ago and manually closed it out. Even after rebooting the phone its still there.
I'm being 100% real, stop trying to make excuses or act like I'm an iPhone fanboy. The Galaxy Nexus combined with ICS is the best phone I've ever used! I'm just terribly disappointed with the battery life.
Twittering all day is sucking up battery because of all the data use. Dude, youre not a light user with 3 hours screen time moderate, possibly heavy depending on background stuff sycing automatically. You have some tweaking to do, not whining.

3 hours is not that much. Seriously. It shouldn't be damn near dead after 10 hours. Imagine if I decided to play a game for 15 minutes or watch 2 YouTube videos.
I bet if people were getting an hour and half with this phone, all the fanboys here would say the same thing. "Man, an hour and a half is a long time! You should be happy with that!".

I've tested out the battery difference by turning off auto sync. Doesn't make a difference at all. Fact of the matter is that the battery drains like crazy when the screen is on.
I'll just turn my phone on because actually using it is frowned upon here.

Except they aren't out yet
Our devices use a 4600 mAh battery and was wondering if anyone ever actually sees that figure? I've been struggling to get more than 4-5 hours use and started investigating why. The highest I've ever seen on a full charge is 4309 and the average is about 4260-4280.
Another strange thing I've noticed is that if I start playing a game with 100% charge and the tab plugged in I still loose about 1% per minute.
I've tried multiple roms and they all seem about the same as far as battery usage goes. Right now I'm back to the stock LG KitKat as it seems to perform about the best for me and very stable. I use the battery calibration app and was wondering is there another that might work better?
In closing looking forward to any suggestions or advise
Yep,same for me.battery life is terrible.have tried multiple roms,lucky to get anywhere near 4hrs.
Sent from my LG-V500 using xda app-developers app
I just tried an experiment, 100% charged, unplugged tab w/o turning anything on and I already lost 7% in 15 minutes !! I have Greenify installed and all non system apps hibernated and it still eats the battery.
My Sero Pro can sit all day and only loose 1%. If I could be sure I would receive a perfect unit I would consider RMA. But after reading all the issues with the screen problems I'm not going to take the chance. My tab is perfect aside from battery life.
I found a replacement battery on Ebay and am considering buying it to see if I have a bad battery. Something definitely isn't right.
I went to Mahdi rom as soon as I got my tablet about 2 weeks ago. This past weekend I did two battery tests.
These tests were done with wifi always on (medium signal strength, most google apps synced, google location reporting off, no twitter/facebook app, no greenify or any power management apps
If I left the display on indoors at auto brightness, it lasted for about 7-8 hours.
If I left the tablet idle (display off), it consumed about 3% per day (most of it consumed by wifi).
I would suggest trying the same thing with yours and see whether its a hardware issue. You can just do it for a few hours and extrapolate.
I've never calibrated my battery (drain until its empty) unless I notice an erratic drain from a constant task.
Mine is the same, not being used it drains almost nothing. Currently mine is at 49%, been unplugged about 12 hours with 2:47 of screen on time according to the battery stats in settings. 100% stock KitKat, bluetooth off. 15 minutes of screen off (with the screen on long enough to look at battery settings) and no % lost.

Same. If I leave it in standby overnight, I see zero battery drain (in 8 hours). I also tested a full HD movie (1080p) in full screen at 45% brightness and medium loudspeaker volume, and measured roughly 12-14% drain per hour, which suggests it could run 7-8 hours of movie playback on a single charge.
I'm happy with my battery usage. I think it's at least as good as my 2012 N7.
Here's a screen shot of usage just reading the other day. Keep in mind I mainly stop my tablet charging at between 90-95% as often as possible.

I'm with the OP as far as battery drain goes. Mine loses almost 10% in 12 hours at idle with wifi on. With wifi off it'll lose about 3-4% in 12 hours. I haven't done a full to zero test, but battery life is not that great on my personal unit. That is the only thing I don't like about it. I'm running idterror's v50018a ROM.

Then you have an issue with software you installed. It is neither the battery nor the ROM.
Well I went ahead and ordered the battery. I'm fairly confident it'll solve my problem. To Subtleone, with my tablet even with a barebones install I still have real bad battery life. It does not change very much between barebones and all my apps installed.

I don't think so. Even with a barebones install I get similar battery drain. But I knew the G Pad had terrible battery life going in as noted by every industry review I read prior to purchase.
Don't have any battery problems here (stock KitKat, rooted and most non-system apps greenified), get about 6 hours screen-on time at 70-100% brightness when reading books (wifi off) and an hour or so browsing/youtube'ing.
Are people actually going by unplug time until the device physically shuts down, or just what the battery bar claims? Battery stats are rarely 100% accurate, and there's protection measures built in to prevent a battery actually reaching 100% or 0% despite what the device says.

Except that I don't have terrible battery life. In fact, most don't. With KitKat (the one in my sig), with WiFi on, I get exactly 0% drain after 8 hours with it in standby (not actually off). Zero. Needless to say, I do not have any known battery killers such as the Facebook app.
At 45% brightness or so, I see about 13% battery drain after an hour of watching a 1080p movie in full screen with sound coming through loudspeakers.

Biggest battery eaters are apps like Google+ and Facebook.
UCCW and Weather apps too. Also having gps on.
There's some smashing eye candy apps for use and just for info on your lockscreen, they all seem to suck juice like no tomorrow. It's all the updating they do.
Best advice is to use something like wakelock detector to highlight your problem apps, then use greenify to get them to sleep properly. Also have your wifi set to only stay on when your tablet is plugged in.

To test a lot of theory I loaded up stock LG KitKat this A.M. . After letting it install and rebooting 3 times in 60 minutes I turned off WIFI and GPS and left it idle. In 4 hours and 12 minutes I was at 79%. Keep in mind when I left it idle the last time I was at 100%.
So at least in "my" case its most certainly not the software. My battery is scheduled for delivery 5/9/14. I'm hoping that will solve the battery issues.
Once I receive the new battery I'll update the thread. And thanks for the replies

My GPS is always on so I do not think it drains battery in any unusual way. I'll also add that it works darn well. I used the tablet for navigation in a car and it was impressive.
So to continue the theories I put my screen @ 50% watched 60 minutes of 1080p video via MX Player and lost 31%! That's totally bare aside from MX Player. So after seeing Subtelone's results I'm very convinced I indeed have a bad battery.
I know it's not a fair comparison but I've been using my mum's Acer W4 tablet as my 8.3 is being repaired for bad LCD (mura/spots). The W8.1 tablet actually gives me about 8-9 hours of web browsing time. Yes, it's got fewer pixels to push but bear in mind it is running the full fat Windows 8! I just think it's quite disappointing that the LG pad for me barely lasts 4 hours SOT when I mainly use it for web browsing.

Yes, something is seriously wrong with your battery if everything else is identical. My results are exactly as posted.
Hi, I bought the xiaomi my a2 lite version 32gb / 3gb for the second time, because with the first one I bought I had the same problem that I mention now.
Basically the cell phone gives me between 3 and 4 hours of screen, using 50% brightness and only applications such as Whatsapp, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Chrome (I do not use any type of games since that is the main problem).
And the main problem is that I practically can not play basic games such as Clash Royale, Candy Crush, Brawl Stars, Free fire since the minutes to start playing the phone raises a temperature between 39-40 degrees and that's where the battery it drains by eg playing Clash Royale at 10 minutes the battery drops by 10%.
And finally to add that it is not a minor detail is that the cell battery at night without using it drains 15% -20% for about 8 hours.
And I was worried that mine took 8% while I sleep, man you sure feel frustrated :s
Have you tried to calibrate the battery with an app (one that needs root)? I'm thinking about doing so, I can never get more than 5hs of screen time, being in Android 9 and with "auto battery" on.

try install battery monitoring apps like AccuBattery, BetterBatteryStats and Wakelock detector. they show you what app is draining your battery.
As far as i know Facebook is a huge battery drainer. Maybe try using alternatives like Friendly or Folio (both in playstore)
im using Magisk module LKT and WakeBlock and i get something around 10-12h of SOT and 0.3-0.6% battery drain per hour in idle.
I've sent mine to warranty for the exact same problem. Waiting for a new one!

And I was worried that mine took 8% while I sleep, man you sure feel frustrated :s
Have you tried to calibrate the battery with an app (one that needs root)? I'm thinking about doing so, I can never get more than 5hs of screen time, being in Android 9 and with "auto battery" on.

No, at the moment the only thing that I tried was to restore it from the factory but I did not solve anything.
if it is a pity that this happens because the cell phone is good in general.

Too bad, for my part, I think I'll do the same thing. It's the second time this problem has happened to me with the same cell phone.

I will try to do that but besides the problem that the battery does not last, it is also in that the cell phone reaches 40 degrees playing basic games and it is very annoying the truth
Thanks for the help: D

Hi, I bought the xiaomi my a2 lite version 32gb / 3gb for the second time, because with the first one I bought I had the same problem that I mention now.
Basically the cell phone gives me between 3 and 4 hours of screen, using 50% brightness and only applications such as Whatsapp, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Chrome (I do not use any type of games since that is the main problem).
And the main problem is that I practically can not play basic games such as Clash Royale, Candy Crush, Brawl Stars, Free fire since the minutes to start playing the phone raises a temperature between 39-40 degrees and that's where the battery it drains by eg playing Clash Royale at 10 minutes the battery drops by 10%.
And finally to add that it is not a minor detail is that the cell battery at night without using it drains 15% -20% for about 8 hours.

I think your device is faulty. I have a Mi A2 Lite too but I never faced problems like yours.
I manage to get about 2 and 1/2 days of battery life with almost 10h of SOT (even though I don't use the phone heavily) and, during the night period, I haven't faced any drain at all; when I wake up, my phone has the same battery % than 7 hours before.
Despite that, I also have a problem regarding phone heating, but it happens during charging periods. My device's temperatures grow significantly every time I put it into charging. I've always used the original charger, but I start to think it has some problems because even its surface heats up during the process. I don't know if I'm the only one experiencing that. Do you also have this issue?

If I have to use the guarantee and they change me for another
And as for the charger, if I have the same problem
If I plug the cell phone with 20%, the cell phone starts to heat too much for the front and back and reaches up to about 40 degrees
The solution I could find is that I plug it in between 50 and 60% and that way it does not heat up.

I guess Xiaomi did it on purpose in order to make the phone charge faster when it's low on battery and then make him slow down when it's almost there.
But of course, in order to do that, the charger and the phone overheat because the first one goes (let's say) full power for the first half of the process and then it cools down when there's no need to "push" anymore.
It's logical, but it annoys me anyway since I know that, with time, the battery is going to wear out.
I wonder if using another charger will solve the problem. I'll try.
Hello,
Was wondering if someone has had the same experience with their note 10+.
I got my device on the 22nd of Aug and since day 1 the battery has always been showing 99% almost immediately after disconnecting from the charger.
But after that, it discharges normally. Have had no issues with SOT as well.
This wasnt the case with my note 8 and note 9. They used to stay on 100% for a while after disconnecting from the charger.
But was wondering if anyone else has had the same experience with their Note 10+.
Thank you.

yes. after disconnecting the external power charger (or generally changing some working conditions i.e. the type of network connection) a lot of applications receive broadcast messages and wake up their services increasing the cpu activity and battery juice. then they come back to sleep. I suggest to download the app Ampere and monitor the real time current consumption to see if it is such case... in normal idle state my note10+ current drain amounts to 180 mA.

Its normal. I would say 98% reaches in no time. After that it discharges fine.
Same to me..after disconnected charger drop to 99% after few second
Yup, normal! Usually drops to 99% in no time! Iphones do the opposite. They take ages to get to 99% and then drop like hell after that haha

Yup. Me too in same boat.
My snapdragon variant of note 10+ 512 Gb drains in 5-8 minutes from 100% to 99% if left untouched after removing provided or any type of charger, slow of fast charge doesn't matters. After that to come to 98% it takes around an hour to come again with untouched. I monitor battery status of phone battery on my galaxy watch. But after 98% it's completely normal and last very good. More then hour or I wound say uoto 90 minutes too for draining 1%. I Beleive reason behind this should be save battery wear and tear and prolonged life that battery after charging should not stay for long at highest possible charge and hence drop to 99 percent soon.
On the other hand I am getting very good 10 hours plus sot with my note 10 plus. Very satisfied. Better then my s10 plus.
Same, it's normal
Mine takes about 30 min to 1 hr, but that means nothing, probably calibration slightly off or maybe voltage sensor, or as the person said all those apps running in the background wake up and start sending data, asking for updates etc. I disabled everything that I could from running in the background, from waking up phone from sleep and took all the permissions away, that programs shouldn't have etc. but it is such a pain I wish SD had a root. BTW this is such a freaking BS, that once you run some program it stays in memory and even loads back on restart, even if you never use it again or manually kill it.
It's Normal For Note10 Plus , I'm on AT&T Note10 Plus Snapdragon Carrier and still get excellent Battery Life As you can see here.

Of course snapdragon variant is much better than the more common Exynos chip. Samsung should use Snapdragon chip globally as it is a superior SOC
Had this with ever phone ive own. You are most likely at 99.9%
Because the phone is no longer 100% because there is no charging happening.
So its normal to display 99% right when removing it.
Yes me too it kept dropping to 99% after I disconnect my charger, during my S8+ times where I just plug in again and make sure its 100% before I unplugged again and I realise aftrr a year of doing, my battery life tend to age faster.
So dont care about dropping to 99% or 89% ! In my case it slow down after 89% ever since (maybe of my daily routine).
Also, for you guys that really afraid that it wont last a day, try to charge it whenever you can but not fully charge, i.e. 20-50% and you are also good to go!
Also, invest a fast charge wireless power bank, this phone got fast wireless charging, trust me its a blessing to have this type of function and you wont be worry about dead battery!
Yep same here drops to 99 withing a couple minutes of disconnecting

Can you advise us some tips and tricks you used to obtain such battery ? life. I am also using snapdragon Canadian variant. But I also get very good battery but still needs your advise. Also which theme are you using, sir?
Thanks a lot.
Meh. I'm more worried about how long it takes to drop to 0%. Only saw it once after nearlyn10 hours of screen time. This phone is a beast.
Drop from 3pc to dead phone is equally instant. My phone died when at 3pc ...this has happened twice.
Yup it's normal as many have confirmed.
I'm averaging a solid 7.5 - 8 hours of OST daily @ 50-60% brightness with pretty heavy usage. YouTube, calls, navigation, Spotify, chat apps, browsing etc..
I'm a power user and I have to charge my battery every 4 hours. I keep my hotspot on and tether it while I stream to. Cant really tell a difference in battery between s10 plus and note 10 plus
I've had my note 10+ for say a month now and I charged it up
when I first got it and It still says 99 percent
never drops and I stream music and talk on the phone and use it to make popcorn
I never charge it ,stays at 99 percent
edit: LOL
Hey Guys,
you have also a massiv battery drain on your Pixel Device?
I need to charge it twice a day since I updated to Android 13 ...
Do you think Google will fix it asap?
There are a ton of battery life threads in this section - more than one page of search results. I know battery life has been mentioned with regards to Android 13 in some threads in this section, although I'm not sure if it was in a battery-specific thread.
For what it's worth, I haven't noticed any difference on mine.

Have you checked to see in the battery usage what's using it
I had this problem before. The fix was completely wipe the device then install everything from scratch, not using restore service. Additionally, I putting background restriction on many battery hungry apps like Facebook, Messenger, Google Maps, etc... Also, I'm using Kirisakura kernel on top of battery restriction. My battery can last up to 22-23 hours.

hmmmm, thats a shame, because it is bad enough setting everything back up again after restoring it. But incredible the battery life you are getting.
My phone has Shamesung health app smashing battery, phone idle and and mobile network cosuming huge battery again

Try disabling the Physical Activity permission of the Samsung Health App, it might actually do wonders when it comes to battery life. While it wouldn't affect your watch, your device would no longer be able to count steps [for me, that was worth the trade-off].
the answer is bluetooth and wifi failure and trying to reconnect NONSTOP. after 4 factory resets my phone suddenly doesnt do it anymore and battery life is fine. came to this conclusion when i connected my galaxy watch to my phone and is disconnected every couple minutes. looking at the quick settings id see bluetooth looking like its resetting itself. i didnt check the crash log but at this point its kind of common sense what it was. after some research last night i saw i wasnt the only one. it actually was so bad that my phone died over night even tho it was 43% when i went to sleep

I had my first full day with A13 yesterday and it was hard not to notice how fast the battery was draining, I would have expected this to have been picked up during beta testing
Less than 24 hours since update and I noticed it too.
My Pixel 6 used to be awesome in terms of battery.
But today, after 9 hours it's 30%. It's been some heavy usage, but it should be 50% at least.
Edit: The second day things went back to normal. After 16 hours i'm still at 66%.
The battery drain is bad for the initial 3-4 charge cycles, then it goes back to what was "normal" on A12. Which sucks, since if you listen to YouTube (downloads only, screen off) and use Google Maps while snapping photos (20-30 and no video), the phone will die in less than 8 hours.
In other words, the phone is unfit for travel. Pitty, because the camera is great.
You would think that now that Google has better control over the hardware and complete control over the software (including services), plus a huge 5000mAh battery, the P6P would do far better.
Sure, it's better than my last Pixel, a 3XL, but that was so bad I swore off Pixels.
The iPhone 13 Pro Max lasts twice as long with a much smaller 4353mAh battery. Without having to turn off 5G or regular services. What a joke.
SITREP !
Bluetooth issue still ongoing and still causing the major battery drain. Has 0 to do with what this guy said ^ . Sometimes its OK but most times it just crashed and restarts.
I dont have any of those issues. I guess I got lucky.
43% and it died overnight? Dude that is insane. Even if it is Bluetooth/wifi keeping the phone from truly going into deep sleep, you wouldn't think that alone would be able to completely drain the battery to 0 over the course of what... 5 - 8 hours? (Unless your my ex, then it's more like 14 hours ). Have you pulled any logs or looked at the battery usage? I'd be hesitant to believe that there isn't more going on there contributing to the massive drain. Gotta love google... I remember the first talks of Android 13 was geared towards smarter battery usage. Go figure.
Today my phone has been (and is yet cause the battery is not charged) plugged to a google charger for 3 hours and half and the battery has charged from 40% to 82%
The phone had the screen off for 1 hour by this time. This was when the battery recovered 40%.
I tend to think that we've got, Houston, a big problem here...
No massive battery drain for me. 8.39%/hr active drain and .80%/hr idle drain on stock kernel. Active drain is a little higher than usual for me, probably because of rebooting many times doing stuffs.
Fast charging is also the same for me using an Anker Nano II 30W charger. No problems in that area.
I have no solution, but I can confirm this is an issue. I had no issue before the update lasting up to even 2 days with light use. Now, I even with battery saver turned on, it dies in about 6 hours in my pocket.
I just went on a trip to Toronto last week and it was terrible, had to keep my phone powered off in my pocket so I could still be sure to have enough battery to get an uber back to my airbnb.
So far today at work. I unplugged my phone at 730am to leave for work, it's 1105 and typing this out is the most I've used my phone. It is both warm to the touch and the battery is at 73%.no wait 72% it just went down...

Here are 2 examples showing the difference between before and after A13
Just when I was about to switch to my P6P, I'm reading all these problems with slow charging and mediocre battery life. I wonder how widespread they are?
I can't use a new phone that seems to have a worse battery life than my P4XL...
Not to mention the whole sideloading apk FC thing.
Guys, I am also having massive issues with my new Pixel 6 phone which is approx 10 days old only....
A12 was fine for the first days then I want to A13 and then all hell brooke lose The battery drain is awful and I am facing these problems :
- Phone idle is between 20-37% - even when phone is in flight mode for the night it consumes 20-30% instead of normal 1-2%
- Viber is draining battery with 20%+ consuming when its not really used shows usage of 20+ hours Never had such issue.
I am over now 4-5 recharge cycles and I have turned off adaptive almost anywhere... What to do?
Just pray and wait for Google to drop a fix/patch for A13 for our Pixel 6 ???
For those that upgraded from A12 to A13 and having the issue, have you wiped the phone (factory reset) and started fresh? I know it's a PITA getting everything setup again, but that's crazy. I was at 100 percent at 7 am, now 7 hours later, I am at 66 percent with pretty heavy usage... Generally YouTube constantly along with everything else I'm doing. By no means is my battery life amazing, but def comparable to A12 on my end.
