Poor battery life after 8.1

[weedlucho]

I updated to January 8.1 yesterday, the first hour after the update the screen, fingerprint scanner and speaker while in call, all gave me troubles, I had to reboot the phones 2 times, and no more problems. But today I think my battery is not as good as yesterday morning...

What do u think?

I think your battery life is pretty good! Look at my ****ty battery after 8.1

68% with only 1 hour of SOT.

Any solution yet?

Have you tried "top" from a terminal yet? I use it all the time and has always been the best bet over any battery app. Do a "su" first then "top" to see all processes. You'll see the apps at the top using most CPU. You have to be rooted for "su".

Anyone having issues with System taking al ot of battery? Also, all my Chromecast devices aren't being seen until like 15 minutes after I start my devices... it's really annoying. I called Google and they just told me I had to RMA my phone...but I feel they aren't even trying to fix my issue first.

Thoughts?

62% and I'm at 1h20 SoT with 3h20 hours since last charge.
System takes 40% of my battery usage.

I've got issues too, frustratingly it's not every day, I'm going about 2 days with great battery life 7hrs plus sot, then day 3 really poor, I can feel the phone is hotter so something is keeping the processor working overtime I think, I'm not doing anything different on any day so beginning to think it could be a hardware rather than software issue (is this possible ?) Just tried killing apps as soon as you leave in the developer options see if that makes any difference, it's pretty frustrating.

Battery saga continues for me, 2days no issues, all day yesterday no issue went most of the day with great standby time, used YouTube / played a few games nothing intensive, 50% battery drain in 1hour phone hot the entire time, is this possibly a hardware fault ? Or can a glitchy app cause that amount of drain. Very hot between the fingerprint scanner and the flash, guessing this is roughly where the processor is... Close to sending this back...

It can be an app that can keep your processor stuck on max freq
Try in safe mode if it doesn't help return it

I think its something in 8.1... Got my RMA and had first full day yesterday with it. First hour of SOT i was at 80% left, 2nd hour 66% and then by hour 3 of my SOT i was at 31% and if anything I was on it less between 2nd and 3rd hour and not on apps like Messenger etc that drain it. I am hoping Feb update fixes it.

Spoke to Google today, one of the things they suggested is to make sure I use the provided charger, I don't, is there any relevance in this ?

I think I've found my culprit and it's Facebook, not 100% sure yet because it's not been long enough, but ran it in safe mode last night with no issues watching YouTube which I suspected it was but pretty sure it's not now, so I put the phone back in to normal mode and removed Facebook and messenger apps and it's much better instantly, I'm using chrome to access Facebook now, it's better than when I had good days before... Fingers crossed...

Yeah I wish my friends would either download a different app to communicate through then Messenger. Only reason I have it really. Facebook I rarely go on anymore but its still on my phone just in case.

Sometimes I am not quite happy myself with how the battery perform,

I found with schedutil governor that implemented in pixel, user dont have enough freedom to adjust how the cpu react,

Thus, am trying to play with an interactive governor, and tweak it based on max and min load optimal calculation i used to used in my other phone,

I can say am quite happy with the result. Performances is great, no stutter and battery is very good as well

In my experience the Facebook app is better on battery than most other apps I've used. Especially Chrome. The Facebook app drains my battery at a rate of about 1% every 6 minutes. With Chrome it's about 1% every 4.5 minutes.

It's defo not been the case for me, my phone was way better yesterday 4hrs screen on time 17hrs since charge and 48% battery left by the time I plugged it back in. It's gone from being the worst phone I've had for battery life to probably the best and all I've done is remove Facebook and messenger, maybe I had a bad install. I'll give it a few days and try again, but it's 100% been the culprit on my phone.

Im feeling also mixed about this, I went from Iphone 7 to this and it feels like they are at the same level or maybe even worse. Im no sure but I have seen alot of pictures here and it seems like between 5-6 SOT is the limit before it dies.

Here is a picture of mine:

We can clearly say that Snapchat is taking alot but that's nothing new I guess but what about Screen, IS that normal that it takes 31% for 5h 36min using of screen?

let me know what you guys think about my battery here!
