I have to update this again. I took the phone off the charger Monday morning, and it hasn't been plugged in since. It's now Wednesday night. I'm excited to see how this does during harvest when we get into fields with no reception.

It may perform worse with no reception unless you put it in airplane mode. It will try to constantly find a signal and drain quicker

 

[GTPpower]

Yeah, I'm sure it will. All my other phones usually needed to be recharged twice a day when in those areas.

Meanwhile, per all Pixel phones, I'm lucky to get 4 hours SOT for a day. But I've seen a few articles popping up lately complaining about the same. Pixel phones performance starts to drop after 6 months to a year.

Yeah, it has really dropped for us after about 3 months.... Both phones

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

4 hours of SOT is horrible too. I was getting that with my Nexus 6p

Welcome to pixel phones.

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

Glad I didn't get the iPixel

 

[Mook]

The bigger issue, for me, is idle time. It's God awful these days.

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

That's surprising when it's supposed to be stockiest android

 

[Mook]

I think these phones just degrade over time... Or I've got something that doesn't sleep and the battery report isn't telling me about it.

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

Well batteries do get old and lose effectiveness but I'd expect at least 2 years of good performance.

 

[Mook]

Early on, 5hrs+ SOT was easy... Now by the time I go to bed, maybe 4? 4.5 maybe? And I'm home on wifi almost exclusively all day...which should help but nope.

Try a factory reset?

 

[Mook]

Nah. I don't care enough. I'll probably get the 4 at the end of the year.

.....

Or don't buy a pixel

 

[Mook]

I love them besides the meh battery.

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

Not bad

lately I have noticed when waking the screen to swipe/ unlock the phone there is an upward arrow icon with a line underneath it that flashes in the notification bar and then goes away.
so, WTF is that ? and why has it appeared out of nowhere.

Broke my old record

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

Might even be able to crack 8hr SOT

So yesterday I enabled the google music app just for the heck of it and tried it. It's actually not bad. it loads faster than Pandora.
I just gave it a quick try and liked it, I'm going to spend more time with it.

Wondering if anyone else here uses google music.

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

Nope. No thanks. Streaming apps suck

 

[Spivitz]

what app is that in?

And last night night, seriously right around when we were talking about jupiter, it flipped back.... Wtf
