"Change the screen brightness to 35%" .

That worked. Need to be pretty specific with that command, Google AI needs to get smarter.

I'm trying this app out and wondering if it's doing much good. I'm keeping records for a week then going to try it for the next week without just to see how much it helps, if any. A question for you tho, it says it may take more than one application for it to work, maybe 2 or 3 times. How many did you use before you felt it was working? How did you conclude it was back to normal?

Thanks, It might be working and maybe I'm expecting to much. That's why I'm keeping track of my SOT and remaining battery at bedtime for a few days to see what if any improvements.

I've never used it before I downloaded, followed the steps, and my battery was fixed immediately.

 

[Jeremiah Bonds]

I downloaded it like last week, I guess it worked? I don't know. Haha

 

[stuarta99]

Sounds like I need to download it and give it a blast though. Although won't be able to in work today as doesn't it need the battery to be 100%?

Happy with this from my 2XL...

 

[stuarta99]

Ran the gservicefix on mine this morning. Initially was better with still being on 100% when I got in the office rather than dropping 2% but has dropped a bit now. Will see what it's like at the end of the day. I did only run it once

On the topic of battery life, has anyone else noticed that the camera will drain battery much faster than most other apps and use cases? It's not a problem, but I'm curious why that is.

Yeah, I'd say so!

My guess is that the CPU (or whatever part of the SOC that handles image processing) is hit pretty hard when the camera is being used. Also whatever is used to keep the display constantly updated at high frame rate. From what I understand, the Pixel 2 camera is also constantly recording to a buffer and that also contributes to battery consumption.

In general high performance requires high energy. It's like asking "why doesn't my NHRA top fuel dragster get better mileage?"

I installed gservicefix yesterday and the result is unbelievable. Battery life is now not back to 8.0 level but WAY BETTER. Not enough time to fully assess the change but so far the drain is extremely slow. I followed the instructions for the app once and it worked (apparently some do it up to 3 times).

Small rant: Some people are saying that this can't work, that its a 4 year old app, not updated or something like that. My opinion is this, battery drain in MANY (not all but many) Android phones over time is well known. I think gservicefix addresses the root cause of Android battery drain which really hasn't changed in the past 5-6 years. Overnight or idle drain was always a problem for Android.
Hardware has changed dramatically, software appearance has changed a lot but current core functions of Android are similar to those in the past.
gservicefix works, period. No need to update or change something that works well and this app is proof!. If it starts to act up or the drain reappears I will update this post but for now count me as a fan.
