Good day, just got a refurbished from Amazon and getting lousy 2 hr of SOT, I decided to replace it myself a week ago. Now my SOT is around 4 hr.
Now for my question, is this the normal SOT for Pixel XL OG? What are you guys getting with new battery?
I can go beyond 4 hours SOT on a full charge over a full day of 17 hours on a freshly replaced battery with my OG 5", the XL could reach 6 IMHO.
It all depends on your usage and those silent internal updates being pushed to your device which keeps changing a device's output oftentimes. Just few weeks ago I was getting 5-6 hours of SoT normally on my marlin (3 month old phone), hit 7 hours few times, but last few days barely reaching 5 hours! Usage obviously has not changed for me. 4.5-5 hours SoT now. From 90-10%.
i get 3 hours, android 9 august patch
Thank you everyone this is Interesting. I can't seems to get pass 4 hours no matter how hard I try. Stuff I've tried: Factory reset, battery saver, no FB, no games. Guess my new battery is busted.
Does this mean my battery is dying already? Stats don't look good at all

I bought my Pixel XL used about 18 months I'm so I have no idea how it was used by the first owner. I'm not a heavy user, mostly texts, calls, and web surfing. No games and only occasional YouTube videos. I can usually go 2-2 1/2 days between charges and rarely let it get below 40%. My battery health shows 93% and Accubattery says 3:41 for estimated SOT.
I was getting around 4h sot with my pixel XL. Accubattery shows 96% health on it. My OnePlus 5 I'm using now gets closer to 5-6 hours with health showing 90%.
Both phones can go several hours longer if used for reading a book on a black background, or just heavy browsing or YouTube videos indoors where screen brightness is low.

79% isn't that good for a newly bought phone. That's what users expect after using the device for like 18-24 months or something.
My first one was down to 83% after almost 2 years of use. I hadn't really noticed a decrease in battery life so I assumed software updates had actually improved it offsetting the battery wear.

I know there are a million threads on battery life here and on other forums. But I am curious before I take the dive into the EVO (buying outright without an upgrade).
How bad is the battery life?
and
How wide spread is the screen separation issue?
I intend on buying the EVO and then trading to the EPIC when its released then deciding which to keep for the next year until I do have an upgrade.
Battery life will probably be the key determination for me between the 2, I need every last second of power I can get.
Captivate guys are saying 5% an hour under moderate use 2% under light- I can tolerate that. But its a GSM phone and they typically have better batter life anyway. No one can really tell what the Epic will do until we get one.
If I don't touch my phone and idle it I can get 24+ hours. light/moderate I can get 8+, heavy I pretty much have to keep it plugged in.
I got 2 days on a single charge last weekend, barely used and was basically on a 2 day drinking binge. Probably could have gone a bit longer but I plugged it in first chance I had. I can easily get through a day with medium use. Maybe light in the morning, more medium - heavy use in the afternoon but can still make it home knowing I have some charge. Or if I get sidetracked for a couple hours at the local watering hole I know I'm still safe.
I feel a lot of people want to best their last battery time though, sometimes after a decent day of use I need to juice it for a while before I go out that night. Any decent phone these days, with the things they can do, can be dried out pretty quickly with heavy use. But once you get more into the regular use of the device it is more than suitable, IMO. Not to mention other steps can be taken to make sure you get the best performance out of the phone, battery included.
I've been leaving my GPS on lately, keeping sync constantly on, just to see how big of a hit it will really deal during the day. It's not really noticeable yet. One thing I have noticed though, honestly, is that in the beginning when my phone was off it seemed to really use a lot of battery. But now when not in use it's almost as if the battery takes a very minor hit, if a visible one at all. Went to sleep last night with 70% left and woke up it was reading the same. Responded to emails, sent some texts, checked the weather for no reason, and left it idle for an hour. Still sat at that 70% mark, even though that is a slight estimate in terms of battery charge meter. Might have been nearing more to the 60 but still showed 30% as used.
this is a screen shot from when i had cm6 7.27 build. i'm running the 8/2 build right now and its about the same.

I just bought one of these. Been using it since Monday. Not sure about it yet, still bedding it in. Today is my first usage after a full discharge cycle.
Yesterday I discharged the battery as fast as possible by running stability test and I still managed to get 5 hours screen time.
Will update at the end of this cycle.

Please keep me up to date with how your usage goes. would mean a lot. very curious about this battery.
Ok still not sure about this yet. I've now done 2 full discharge cycles by draining the battery as fast as possible. I ran stabilitytest again last night and ended up with 5.5 hours screen time with 14 hours off charger. Charged it overnight and bump charged it a few times.
Today I'm going to see how it fares with normal use. Not very impressed so far though as I'm at 83% battery with 49 minutes screen time and 5 hours off charger. Light usage today with a few hours of music through wired headphones. Maybe the battery % isn't calibrated properly and it'll drop slower as it approaches midline, who knows.
Will keep updating.
I know someone with it and he said it barely lasts 20% longer than standard battery, so guess that means around 2500mah
Conclusion after 6 days and 5 cycles is that I'm getting about 25% more than stock. Not great but I got it for a tenner inc delivery so can't complain.
Shame we can't get the hyperions in the UK. Would love to get my hands on one of those.
Actually starting to like this battery. Getting decent results now.

Sometimes my battery is awesome, and sometimes it just sucks.
This was 7 hours overnight, zero use. No wakelocks, and yet the battery drained really fast. Usually it's about 1% of drain per hour and a half of idle.
Any ideas?

And the awake times are for Twitter, Facebook, email, weather updates, etc.
1. well twitter and facebook are battery hogs.
2. I have had battery issues with email (only exchange accounts)
3. which firmware are you using?
Nk3,
And it isn't always like this. Some days are fine, some days are awful.
And I use tweetings for Twitter, no the actual twitter app, if that makes a difference.
My battery is terrible has been since I got it
Battery Issue
Well, I see no reply on this thread for a long time. I have been facing some battery issues as well. And this issue was there since before the 5.0.1 OTA update which I received 3 days ago. I will post some screenshots, but here are the usage statistics. I have been struggling to get a full day of battery with very moderate to low usage. The general amount of screen on time I get has been about 2-2 1/2 hours at max. I make some phone calls over the day and since that uses the radios, I take that as a reason too. The general call time I use my phone everyday is about 1-1 1/2 hours. Other than that, its not much usage. I am posting the most recent screenshots here. I unplugged my phone from charging at a little over 1.30 PM and have lost 11% in about an hour. In that duration, the only thing I used my phone for, was 43 minutes of voice call. Is this normal for this duration of calling? The screen has been on for a maximum 5 minutes at best.

Oh yes, and I forgot to mention. I do not put the screen on auto brightness. I usually keep it at a very low level, say about 20-25% and only increase it manually if I am outdoors.
Does someone want to share their battery Life when using FreedomOS?
Have just seen one sharing their results and he said it was 6h with extreme Heavy usage, can anyone confirm?
Here you go....First dat in freedom rom

I find that it depends on whether I'm using WiFi or mobile data...fully charged the phone before bed last night and 6.5 hours later it had dropped 3% mainly due to Google.gms wakelocks.
SOT is very subjective...when you say the other person got 6 hours with heavy use...doing what...playing a couple intensive 3d game or web browsing...with what level of screen brightness etc...far too many variables... however i could quite comfortably expect between 4 and 5 hours SOT based on my own personal usage

Okay, thanks.
My real question is, how is battery life compared to stock? Some people have had 9 hours of SOT and that was sure as hell not possible on the stock rom. I was mainly browsing all day on wifi and always got 4-5 hours of sot. 50% brightness. How about you, do you feel any difference batterywise? Is any other rom better for battery life?
(Currently on sultan on my opo and the difference in battery life is from 2-3hours of sot to 4-5 hours of sot)

Is there a fix for these wakelocks? I have this issue all the time....

battery life is going to be about the same as stock b/c there are not modifications, it just depends what apps u remove that wont run in the backgorund, u can download a custom kernel and lower the cpu to reduce heat and get better battery life, mine is doing pretty good right now
on pace for about 6+ hour OST and just normal usage and browsing some with location on too.
Hello,
I have my Nexus 5x since 2016 and I change the battery 3 months ago. Despite this, all days I have to charge the phone before the end of the day. In settings, I see that the screen is use approximatively 2 hours before shutting down. So that's not enough ! Do you have an idea about this issue ? I repeat that my battery is a new one...

It does not have to be battery related, it could be a software or hardware issue as well.
It is possible that some app keeps the phone awake.
One possible solution to that is to use an app ( I use GSam Battery Monitor Pro) to find out what is draining the battery.
If that does not give a clear answer then you could factory reset the phone and see if that improves the situation.
If that also doesn't help then you could have a hardware issue. It happens on some phones, I have a (spare) Nexus 5X here that also drains the battery while sitting idle.
I just use it for experiments and keep it on the charger all day
what SoT were u getting when u first changed the battery?
considering normal SoT time for n5x is around 3-4 hours, plus (im guessing) cheaper 3rd party battery, these numbers wouldnt surprise me.
also, we know nothing about what apps you have installed or what android you're using.
Hello,
I installed a new 2700 mAh battery like the original. I don't us many apps just have social medias, web browsing and youtube... I confirm : today shutting down at 5 PM, less than 2 hours of SoT

I'm not sure if it's specific to lineage os, but if you scroll down on the battery settings page, it may show the battery use % for each app at the bottom. If that's there, try using your device as normal for a day, then check that when it gets down to 5% or so and see what's eating all your battery.
