Getting below average battery life on brand new phone

[DeadFox-xda]

As mentioned on the title, do you guys know what I should do? I'm on the latest stable update. I just got the phone couple of days ago.

I was thinking to do a factory reset and download each app manually instead of going through backup stuff? Idk if this will help.

I would turn on adaptive battery to begin with and get BBS to find out which app is draining the battery before you go through a factory reset. How is your standby time overnight? It should be around 0.5 - 0.8% / hour.

I get a lot worse than that but I'll do what you say then I'll update you later on

Please update us as I'm having the same issue where the drain from a factory reset with fresh start is still 3%/hr, with ambient display off.

That should not be. Get better battery stats and figure out what is waking your device with screen off. Disable it or get the eff rid of it. It's probably one app so find it. I had some stupid app draining 1% per hour idle. Bye bye. You'll get it and then squash it.

I'll try that but if I remember correctly, I did at some point download it and nothing was shown to be draining the battery or waking the device except for high usage by Google services as it always seems and couldn't narrow it down at that time.

I'll give it another shot and see.

I look at alarms and partial wakelocks mostly. You'll find something errant other than the system services which everyone has. Shoot for 0.7% / hour max. I mean sometimes something goes awry and I have to reboot to clear it out. Do a reboot before unplugging at full charge then go 7 hours or so and see what you get unplugged. Screen on time is nonsense so don't pay attention to that. The battery isn't stellar but it is sufficient.

With pixel phones I've learn to live without root, customROMS, short battery life and lag here and there.

To love Android I have to accept or sacrifice those little things.

I'm enjoying the camera, regular updates and the size of my pixel 3.

If you are looking for best battery life, pixel is not an option.
