Dumb question, but does the battery share feature on Android 12 for the Pixel 6 Pro make your battery drain faster? Says in the settings menu that "your battery will run out faster when using this feature".
Does that just mean that when you're actively charging something with the phone? Or are they saying that JUST BY HAVING THE FEATURE ENABLED, your battery will drain faster?
Haven't done any testing for this but I don't want to make the battery run out any faster than it already does in my phone just by having this setting turned on. Please me know if this needs further explanation. Any comments would be appreciated.
IDK.. I have it disabled till I 'll need to use it...

Ok so ive installed alot of custom roms on my wildfire s and on all of them my battery life sucks. If im on wifi my battery goes down 10 to 15% in like 2 to 3 minuets. Do you guys think its because of the roms or i just need a new battery. Please help.
Type in the call menu : *#*#4636#*#* and go to battery menu.Wrote there all the informations.
Do you full charge your phone ?(about 2-3 hours)
Try to delete the batterystats.bin file via CWM.
If i helped you,click "Thank's" button.Have a nice day

10 - 15 % in 2 minutes? WTF?
Are you sure your battery isn't faulty?
Even in worst conditions my battery never drained that fast.
Anyways here are some tips:
-Charge phone to 100%
Go to CWM and delete battery stats.
- Dial: *#*#4636#*#*
Go to phone information, In preffered network type Select GSM auto PRL.
- Use juice defender or something which would turn off wifi whenever its not being used.
- Make sure all the accounts aren't set to push as it takes a lot of battery.
- End processes by going to Apps-> Running services.
- Don't use heavy widgets on homescreen or launchers.
- Brightness to auto and timeout time must be less.
I could remember just these. But I guess if it's true that your battery is draining that fast most probably your battery is faulty. Get a new one.
sounds like a faulty battery.
Kill/Uninstall Apps
Yeah, I had this problem :/
What I did was
- download a battery saver app, It closes mobile networks when you're not using them.
- Set the screen to a low but visible setting
- Uninstall some of the memory draining apps
- and kill some of the RAM munching apps.
Hope this works :L
ill try some of them
Don't download a battery saver app, it'll just use cpu cycles and battery even more.
Manually turn off mobile data and wifi when you're not using them.
Don't overclock.
Lower your screen brightness.
And ultimate solution, get an extended battery.
-----------
"You can overclock as much as you want, your phone will always seem too slow."
What kind of charger are you using to charge the battery? If the charger's voltage and Amp's out put is higher then what the phone can take it could be over charging your phone and charging your phone way to fast. If your charger is normal then I would invest in a new battery, a o.e.m battery is good.
Hi. I'm having a problem with my G Pro Stock Kitkat. After using a battery calibration tool, I suddenly experienced battery drops on my phone. From 100%, i checked the battery settings or status, and it says that I only have 3-5 hours to use my phone. I think it may be incorrect. After some minutes, I see my battery percentage continuously dropping like crazy. Could someone help me fix this? Thanks in advance.

We're going to need additional details in order to diagnose and possibly troubleshoot the battery drain. First and foremost we need to know which particular apps you often use on your phone. From there we'll need to see which apps consume battery while the screen is on and youy're on your phone, and which ones continue to drain while screen is off. I recommend you download battery monitor apps such as GSAM battery monitor (include also the root companion), as well as either wakelock detector or better battery stats. With those apps we'll be able to sense as well whether system processes contribute to the drain.
Drain your battery, have this apps installed then full charge your bat. Once full charged begin monitoring then send screenshots once battery is about to run out.
And also, battery is automatically calibrated by android so battery calibration apps are quite redundant.
Verizon Nougat here.
Has anyone tried stopping the auto battery saver once you go less than ~ 5%? It says it is disabled, but a reboot says no. It must go above 15% to disable.
If you disable this feature you no longer get a 15% low battery notice. I really like it in Marshmallow, it would just let you know and you would think about charging. Software Devs are not users.
Hi!
I have bought OnePlus 7T T-mobile locked. After some time of usage I've unlocked it (so I can use every network right now) but my phone still got T-mobile firmware on it. Hence my three question about this phone.
Is it worth to change T-mobile soft version to global one? Could someone point me some pros and cons please?
Next question is about battery life. I'm using it all the time in battery saving mode and I'd set screen to 60 Hz but still battery goes fast. Could You share what are you doing to improve battery life?
One more thing which irritates me is that screen turns off time always comes back to 30 sec (I think every charging) and I need to set it back to 2 mins manually. Is there any way to fix this?
I didn't install any tweaks or something like that. My phone is just like it was from the box but Android updated itself to version 10.0.13.HD63CB. Phone version: HD1907.
It is my first OnePlus so if someone have some advices or something about this car I will willingly read those ^_^.
Thanks for help in advance,
Tom.
Unlocked bootloader allows custom roms and more brick-proof. Custom roms and/or custom kernels can help prolong battery while improve performance
I think so I have the tmo version that I unlocked and switched if I could do it again I would I feel it runs better

Now that you have unlocked and switched to the global ROM, can you still use banking apps/GPay and HD Netflix, or does it fail security checks? That's the biggest question in my mind. I don't want to give that up just to have a non-T-Mobile ROM.
@bryantthesmith From what I've read everything should work fine just don't root Your phone and after You've installed global firmware You need to do OTA update and then lock bootloader again. It's important to do that OTA update before locking bootloader. BUT I'm just a noob so it would be better if someone smarter express his opinion on it.

Yes I have no issues with it I did use magisk hide as certain banking apps would not work because of root but not because of what version software.so yes if I root just use magisk hide and I may have to change the name of the app besides that no issues

Assuming you don't want to run custom software, or root your device, switching to global gives you faster and probably more frequent updates, and also if you are so inclined, to be able to run beta software. You lose the t-mobile bloat, you can get a dual sim tray and run 2 sim cards.
the only perceivable downside i've run into is the shelf page that you can switch with discover goes to shelf only.
Once switched over you can relock the bootloader and google pay works fine.
Battery life - what shows as the biggest drain? How often do you reboot? rebooting regularly(1-2 weeks) can fix a lot of little issues - like a pc, did you turn it off and on again.
Screen auto off may be affected by running in battery saver mode - try in regular mode.
Thanks for your reply @andycu . I didn't notice any app draining battery. Maybe it's running down normally but I'm coming from phone with 4500 mah so there must be a difference. Also maybe You are right with that screen auto off because I'm using this phone all the time in battery saver mode, because I don't need that much power lol. Phone seems super fast to me even in power saving mode. Is there a way to hide notification which says that my phone is in battery saving mode? I'm coming to android from iphone and I didn't find how to hide it.

I didn't see a notification, just an outline around the battery, possibly another difference with the t mobile software. what is your screen on time like? Normal use, not using battery saver, with no hardcore gaming i get close to 7 hrs, call of duty and other heavy games suck down the battery pretty quick, as will bad wifi or data connections. The people getting 9 plus hours are streaming wifi video, or downloaded content, not real world use.
By notification I mean when You take down your upper bar with wifi, data switch etc. there's always first notification (when in battery saver mode) that you are using battery saver mode and red caption to turn it off. I cannot tell You about usage without battery saver mode because I'm using it all the time and I don't have any data haha
Just for someones information.
1) Yesterday I moved from Tmobile to global. Short description:
Unlocked bootloader.
Flashed global.
Do OTA.
Locked bootloader again so I don't have any messege at start that device is unsafe etc.
(PLEASE IF U WANT TO DO THE SAME OTA IS VERY IMPORTANT IF YOU WILL LOCK BOOTLOADER WITHOUT DOING OTA BAD THINGS MAY HAPPEN. SO ONCE AGAIN FLASH FLOBAL -> DO OTA -> LOCK BOOTLOADER (IF U WANT)
2) I'm pretty happy with the results. Not much is change tho but battery life seems better and I don't have that ugly notification when I'm using battery saver mode.
If someone got any questions I will try to answer.
My battery drains around 1.5% per hour even after turning off AOD and wake screen for notifications setting. When those settings were on, it was draining 3-4% per hour. Has anyone else noticed the same? Any suggestions to improve the standby drain?
Are these numbers with WiFi and mobile data on? Airplane mode off?
Wifi on. Data off. Airplane mode off.
I'm using a different ROM but I've experienced similar numbers. It's obviously better with WiFi off but that's possibly not the point
Disable battery scenarios , worked for me

No, other way around.
Being connected to a Wi-Fi is more efficient than Mobile Data Connectivity.

You could check the Running Services in Developer Options, and see what's running in the background.

I can't find the option in developer options. I think it has been removed.

Will check tonight
under the battery or 3rd party like accubattery should show you what's draining it , Im on the EU weekly and have no such problems
You could try a Custom Kernel like Nexus Kernel
NotZeetaa, the dev behind Nexus Kernel also made a Magisk Module "BatterySaverMod v1.2" that can be found in the Nexus Telegram Group, which limits performance a little bit but reduces Power-consumption for active drain.
You could check with Activity Launcher from Play Store, if the settings-page "Running Services" still exists but may just be unlinked from Settings-GUI.
For me 5g stopped work since 13.0.7
I'm also experience battery drain in 13.0.9 and occasionally network failures. Many times calls ended and receive the message "network not availabe". I've done a factory reset. Will have to do it again
Till this rom have everything work perfectly
I used better battery stats and it showed that wifi had a lot of wakelocks and was preventing the phone from entering deep sleep. I turned off wifi and standby drain went to around 0.5% per hour. I think voice over wifi is the culprit here. I will observe the drain tonight with VoWifi off.

5g is pretty much useless anyway unless youre downloading very large files. It uses a lot of battery and makes the phone warm as well. I would suggest setting the preferred network type to 4g as it is more than enough for everyday use and saves battery as well.
You guys could use "Naptime" from Play Store. It supports ADB or Root.
