Yes the 1.5 files and instructions are in the same place on the dev site where you got 2.0
Before you downgrade, give a chance to the 2!
Anything else can cause battery drain.
I use 2.0 for months and my battery uses less than 3% per hour with always on screen.

Did you enable cloud sync over wifi? The last time I messed with that, my battery life plummeted to about 1/3 of its normal length. Putting 2.0 on my HWatch actually increased my battery life.
I've taken my phone off charge about an hour ago, and it's already at 80%. I've just disabled WiFi... But I can't see an option for cloud sync over WiFi.
I took my HW with DP5 off the charger 3.5 hrs ago. Still 88% left which is pretty normal IMO. Maybe you should just do a hard reset and pay attention to what apps you re-install afterwards`?

Yeah, I think that might be a plan actually. I'll do that and see what happens!

Now, 11.5 hrs after undocking, the battery is down to 69%. Quite impressive considering that I have used the watch in a normal way.

Hi all,
Quite noob on Pixel 2 XL, just rooted it with Magisk one month ago; so I'm still on February image.
How can I update to April image without losing anything, please? (Already downloaded the image, btw)
(Directly or with Skipsoft tollkit)
Thanks a lot!

Just follow the guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2-xl/how-to/guide-unlock-flash-root-pixel-2-xl-t3702418
1. Download the image and adb, twrp image and magisk zip
2. Flash the image without the -w parameter
3. Temporarily boot into twrp, flash the magisk zip and you're done, takes 5 minutes

What kind of issue? Screen not turning off when covered or screen not turning on when uncovered? Either way, I was on a call earlier and it turned on and off fine.

I think it's too early to tell the impact of most of those changes in my usage so far. Fingerprint sensor response has improved for me.
The biggest thing I was looking forward to was all the mentions of battery life improvements. Unfortunately battery life doesn't appear to be any better but so far doesn't appear to be any worse. The February and March updates really hurt battery life.

No issue for me. I don't think that's a software issue. I think it's a hardware issue. The same thing happened on my Nexus 5X
I am on my second day of the April security patch and my battery life has gotten much worse. I got it launch day and I have always gotten 5-6 hours SoT for 18 hours off charge and still have 30% battery left. Yesterday I got 3.5 SoT for 18 hours and was at 4% when I plugged it in. I never had any adverse effect of battery life with the monthly patches until now. I havent factory reset since I bought the phone.

No. But we still see teaser posts that some whiz just discovered something that Google and Verizon simply don't know.
It's locked down tight on VZN models.
Have people been able to use the tethering module through magisk on the April update?
for me the initial install of April the battery life was better than March by far, but the next few days definitely doesn't seem much better, so pretty scary how quick the fall off was for the battery life fall off when looking the the battery stats pages. Touch responsiveness is much better, and generally the phone now feels like it should have been from the beginning.

Usually by the end of the day im left with about 15 -20%. Now im to 15% around 5 or 6PM. Battery definitely draining much faster
My battery life has gotten stupidly better. First day was close to 5 hours SOT with 50% battery left at 20 hours off charger(normally would have been 2-3 hour SOT pre April patch). Right now I'm at 2 hours SOT at 75% battery left with 11 hours off charger. Most of my SOT is games(Clash Royale, Final Fantasy Pocket Edition) so it's not like my usage is lite. Though personally I feel as if the patch has gotten my battery life back to how it was at launch before the first patch. I'm thinking some of those carrier optimizations were for Project Fi as that's what I have.

Most twrp users did that the day the Google April update came out. As always, there are always going to be some users that have issues for whatever reason. However, from the majority of things I've read, most users, including myself, have had little to no issues with using twrp :good:

Battery is very good. But I would recommend you do a factory reset after flashing it. It's always good to do a factory reset when coming from an android version to another version for better results in general.

I get about 5 hours SOT, a slight improvement to 8.1 which is not bad for DP3!
Also most of the app crashes and incompatibilities that I had with DP2 are gone or resolved after resp. app updates.

It's really good, when I'm in the office, from 11 to 7, using the phone for calls and messages at the end of my workday, I'm still having 75-85%. About SOT, as I'm using the phone on almost full brightness every time, at least 90%, I'm getting 4-4.5 hours.

On DP3 it's fantastic but I seem to have a strange performance bug where the phone locks up for a few seconds. It gets worse over time with restarts fixing it.

It's really odd. For the first few days it was fine then suddenly it happened. As for fast charging I haven't actually looked (battery life has been much better). The lock ups have something to with with the UX but I haven't been able to pin-point it.

How much SOT are you getting?
Hello
from the current update at november, i got only 5 hours maximum of usage at my device, before, it was 7 hours maximum.
does someone else saw these battery drain on these update?
my device is without root and with stock.
thank you
i noticed wi-fi scanning was switched back on mine. Worth checking yours too. That is a crazy battery drainer!
you mean open wifi search? actualy it was open but these is what you mean?

Try to factory reset as a last resort.
Try to root and solve by those means maybe?
Disable all syncing (unnecessary) crap and apps/system apps you don't use.
No extra drain here. I haven't done 7 hours in a long time but it is nearly 13 months old.
Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
so after 13 months the battery is dead??it's not nexus 6P with battery problems..also, mine is 11 months
i don't need root for now so i guess it won't help me, factory reset maybe can help but i'm try to avoid it now...
sync is disable now for crap and yet..at the email field there is two syncs Gmail and edison email, is it make the problem?
and i understand from you guys that the november update isn't make something with the battery?
I wouldn't say 5 hours SOT is dead. Dead is off the charger it lasts only 5 hours. I still get through a 16 hour day fine with 4 hours SOT and 20% left. I'm just saying I haven't gotten 7 hours SOT in a long time. What matters is getting from morning to night without needing to do a top off. And there's nothing wrong with charging during a drive back home from work. Also, I did a factory reset in October as it's something I've been doing yearly with my phones. It helps somewhat (my "Full charge lasts about" estimates have gone up 2-4 hours) but it's not going to make miracles and turn the battery to day-1 level. For me, I do it to clear up things.

My battery also dropped significantly, like OP, after the November update (from 6.5 SOT down to 4 SOT). I noticed my wi-fi scanning was enabled though after the patch. I will disable that. Hopefully that does the trick!

Here is another battery drainer to check. Pull down your notification shade and look for "nearby" if it's not there hit the edit button and add it to your quick toggles. Make sure it is off as that will be constantly looking for local advertising crap to serve up to you which costs you in battery life.

The capability to set to charge only till 80%. Have read in TG that this feature was dropped, due to the danger of getting the device bricked because of her. There's a post explaining why here in xda, made by arrow dev.
You can root your phone with Magisk and get the Magisk Module "Advanced Charging Controller".
Then, in a Terminal, you do "sudo acc 80" to make it stop charging @ 80%.

Are you able to customise the maximum charge level as with Evolution-X,
I like to charge my F3 between 35% and 65%,
this lasts me around 8 hrs and only generates 0.03 cycles,
this will hopefully keep my battery in tip top condition.

Hi,
I`ve been looking for many years for a rom with the "Smart Charge" feature, i have only found two for the F3, Evo-x and crDROID,
i used to use ACCA until Evo-X came along, i am always on the look out for roms with this feature to see how it compares.
I brought my F3, New 14 months ago and it still has 95% of the battery capacity left according to ACCU.
I try to minimise the battery cycles and phone temperature,
hopefully by doing this it will keep my Battery in Tip Top condition.

There's already some roms with it. But most of the maintainers aren't including it, because it can bring issues.
Anyway, I when I'm not in a rom with Smart charge, I always use a app called "battery charge limit". Super lightweight that allows to smart charge.

Yes i also read about Charging Issues regarding Smart Charging, before i switched to Evo-X, i used ACCA and this was good, but i think it`s better to have this feature built in.
There were post regarding dead phones ect using the smart charge function,
yet i used ACCA for 10 months without any issues before switching to EVO.
If possible could you link to "Battery Charge Limit" as I'm not aware of this app,

Hello buddy. Yeah I think we already have discussed that on other post. Supposedly it could bring serious issues to pmic controller.
But I used it around 3 years on my previous device (oneplus 3), without any issue. And now I've been using on poco, without any problems too. But well, I'm aware that someday it could turn bad.
I can't find on internet, but it's available on TG - https://t.me/RohailsHub/794.
If you prefer I can upload the apk.

Hi,
Just a small update regarding "Smart Charging", I had to revert back to ACCA, as i use a QI Wireless receiver/adaptor to charge my phone most of the time and found that when QI charging my battery temperature was getting worryingly high,
at one point it reached 40.5 degrees, yet when using a standard charger my battery was fine.
I tried the app that you uploaded (Many thanks) but it looked very similar to ACCA except it had less functionality, i also found an (almost) identical Program on the play store.
So for now i have disabled the "SMART CHARGING" function in the Evo-X rom and reverted back to ACCA, as i am able to set the charge temperature.
I have set it to stop charging at 35 degrees and resume at 30 degrees,
I have also ordered a replacement QI Receiver to see if it resolves my issue.
