I just purchased a used Pixel 3 (not 3a) from an ebay seller - excellent condition - looks new. But it arrived with a 1% charge.
I charged it to 100% - seemed to be too quick - But the battery drained and shut off after about 15 minutes!
I tried a method to let it go to 0, the charge to 100% twice. Helped a little. Then I did the same 4x total and eventually it did increase the battery life BUT....
With 85% of the time idle, and the rest just checking emails and websites - not videos or gaming, it lasts about 5 hrs.
But it does something strange - do you know if this can be corrected?
Once it gets down to about 56% - in seconds it drops down to 22% - then rather quickly shuts off and has to be charged.
Another time also I think in the 50's I was scrolling a web page and I saw the count down go down to close to the teens in seconds, then it shut off.
Any ideas on how to correct this? Is this just a calibration?
Thank you.
Bob
