Standby drain

[XDA_RealLifeReview]

When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the Google Pixel 2's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Went to be with 93% woke up 7 hours later with 93%.

Night 1, went from 55% to 47% in 8 hours. Hoping this is an anomaly and it gets better tonight. It's not terrible, but not great either, and not consistent with other reports I've heard.

Mine is average 7-10% overnight drain. Have had the phone for 3 nights. Will continue monitoring

Do you have auto sync disabled or something?

Nope, everything enabled.

I noticed when my phone was not fully charged , around 94 percent , I lost 8 percent overnight . Gonna do a full charge tonight and see if another drain happens

From 11pm to 7am overnight the battery dropped from 90% to 80%

I tried with and without ambient for my standby average.

Without ambient it took 4% for 8 hours
With ambient it took 5% for 8 hours

I am a very light phone user, I went to bed at 100%, woke up at 100% , just now reached 90%!

I'm averaging a little over 1% / hour drain overnight. Looking at GSAM battery monitor, there's a small spike in battery usage at regular intervals. This even happened in safe mode.

So in other words, it doesn't hold charge during standby any better than other phones in this segment. My Honor 8 will only drop 3-5% overnight and it has numerous accounts set to auto-sync.

I tried Greenify and drain went down to about 0.4% / hour overnight. I'm not sure if the difference is Greenify or turning off Always on Display.

See my Screenshots below. That's what I am expecting from a standby behavior. When I'm done using my phone, there is almost no drain over a long period of time (like over night or during work).

How did i achieved this? I've disabled for certain apps the background app refresh, like on the battery consuming app Facebook - app keeps updating your timeline. ...or Whatsapp - app keeps downloading photos and text messages in the background...

All other pixel related features like always on display or playing now are still enabled. Expect OK Google, I prefer the active Edge activation.

I have also the newest official Software update installed with display color fix, (working) NFC buzz fix and November security patch. Build OPD1.170816.025

Always plug in over night, but in morning when I unplug, minor use for 3-4 hours still says 100%. NEVER got this good on my Pixel 1 or Nexus 6p. I have several push email accounts and background news, but ZERO social media apps loaded.

Same here and i was worry about the small battery in this phine but it seems it's better than what i expected.

100% at 11pm Las night woke up at 7:30am so 8 and a half hours later at 100%. Didn't even know that was possible. (No always on display of course)

Bug in battery usage stats

Just noticed an hour and a half after I unplugged my phone that the phone showed "13 min since last full charge" and the phone showed "100% battery life", thought it didn't make sense as already had about 20+ minutes of screen on time and was using Bluetooth. I restarted my phone and found the battery was at 98% then within a few minutes drained to 95%, but when I restarted it the battery stats showed "last full charge 0 minutes ago".

I'd guess if your batter is showing 100% after a few hours of use, the battery is miscalibrated rather than having super low drain.
