It all does depend on the apps you're running etc, but 1.8%/hr with the screen off (assuming you're not streaming music etc) isn't great. I usually wind up at 0.7 - 0.9%/hr or so over night with previous phones with my set up. Seeing over 1 - 1.5%/hr on my P6 currently with the same set up, despite it having a bigger battery than any previous phone I've had. So, today at least, the P6 is clearly consuming much more power when it has 'nothing to do overnight' than my previous phones, which is even more than offsetting its bigger battery.I am experiencing same battery like @gnite6 but only on wifi, still when on mobile data it eats battery like 3 times faster. Waiting for Monday to obtain an update, hope it's going to fix mobile radio issue.
the way android reports mobile network usage changed at some point. It's not broken, it's just very misleading:i think the battery life is pretty awesome with this phone but have something weird happening where the 'Mobile Network' consistently takes the most battery of all apps and services.
it's always tops the list, even above 'Screen', which seems kind of unnatural.

good to know! thanks for the responsethe way android reports mobile network usage changed at some point. It's not broken, it's just very misleading:
system battery usage is a percentage of the total battery usage
mobile network usage is a percentage of system battery usage
so it's a percentage of a percentage
obviously it's the biggest percentage of the system apps because mobile radio is always active
mobile radio doesnt just measure mobile data, it measures everything related to cell signal, data usage, cell signal strength and so on
i've been monitoring my battery usage and idle drain since i got the phone (preordered before launch)
usage has never spiked even after the mobile network usage reporting changed in battery stats
tl;dr google's bad at relaying info to the user, nothing bad's happening with mobile network usage
you explained it better in fewer words. More people need to be aware of this because I see a lot of placebo/panic regarding this "issue".Yep, so if the phone battery were to drop 5% overall and Mobile Network showed 90% it would just be saying that almost all of that 5% was down to Mobile Network, really just illustrating how efficient everything else was...
Yep.you explained it better in fewer words. More people need to be aware of this because I see a lot of placebo/panic regarding this "issue".
I dont think this is true.system battery usage is a percentage of the total battery usage
mobile network usage is a percentage of system battery usage
well, not all videos are like that though.closing background apps does nothing.
it actually wastes more power, since your cpu and storage has to work more when you open your apps again.
youtube is full of clickbait and snake oil videos. they try anything to get clicks.
IF theres a badly optimized app which produces constant load, then it makes sense to close that one. some faceswap/social media apps or "zedge" are like that. even 9gag is constantly doing something.
-> for those apps: just turn off background data & set battery optimization to the max.
doesn't have a pixel 6 though, is its battery better than pixel 7?There is a battery thread in P6 Pro section, but we don't have an equivalent here, so...
How's your battery on regular Pixel 6? Can't post any data from my side, as it's still being dispatched....
What's your mobile network signal strength like? If it's poor, that consumes significantly more power.My Battery life is crap if I don't charge it over night it will be dead by morning . I've sent multiple bug reports to Google. Network standby is using 40 to 60 % over night . I've tried all the tips in net just nothing helps .
