Update this morning.
yeah I'm having such bad battery life right now I think because of the 8.0 update since the pixels were having the same kind of issue heres going that the update will fix it.
I just commented in the other update thread, this is a better place to post this: my battery life actually went down significantly after the December update. I was usually at 50-60% remaining at the end of the day with my usual usage, and now I'm less than 30 by 8PM when barely using the phone. And I'm 100% certain the drop happened after the update.
Anybody else seeing that?
I did yes. Then I did a FDR and I'm seeing this kind of battery life consistently now.
Yeah, that looks more like what I was getting previously. Thanks, although grrr, don't really have time to redo my phone.
Yeah, it does suck but, sometimes it's a necessary evil for the maintenance of your device...
That is true sometimes it is necessary to factory data reset your phone. But you shouldn't have to. I'm at 75% and barely use my phone I've only been unplugged about an hour and 15 minutes but having such bad battery life since the 8.0 update. I haven't seen any change in December security patch. So once I find time I may have to factory data reset. I mean it doesn't take that long and only takes about 2 hours now and if it does help and that's all that matters. But you really shouldn't have to. I may have to find time in a week or two so for now good thing there's portable chargers. Because I did factory reset my phone after the 8.0 update. and that did not help.
So you're saying you should never have to maintain your devices software or hardware? I posted this in another thread.vvvvvvvvvvvvv
"People seem to forget, everything needs maintenance. People say, "well I paid xxx amount of dollars on a phone, it should just work". Ok well, people also pay thousands of dollars for granite countertops and guess what, they require maintenance. People pay millions for IT solutions, servers, techs and all that. Guess what, every computer and server needs maintenance. Your phone is no different. If you can't learn how to maintain your phone then maybe buy a flip phone. My m9, aside from a little battery degradation, runs as it did the day I got it. It is my universal remote and my 8 year olds mp3 player. My 10 is mine and/or my wife's backup phone and a home Media device as I use it for most of my casting to the CC or fire stick. Learn how to maintain your.devices and they'll last a very long time."
Your device requires maintenance. A lot of the times, performance issues have to do with ART(the runtime service that provides the digital environment required for.your apps to run)
The update happens and something goes wrong in the environment which causes the software to send out erroneous packets and wake locks.. Therefore consuming battery life. Sometimes your apps aren't on the same API level as the new update and the app isn't optimized. Therefore, constantly running in the background, wake locks, buggy performance, etc, etc... My point is, probably 80% percent of the time, the lack of performance is do to Google's own runtime environment or the apps you use.
Yes. Maintenance. Phones from the previous years aren't as complicated back then. Hell, Dalvik could probably handle things better when ART first came out, but ART was the next step. ART brought AoT. It's just that the processes these CPUs use to do all the things you want them to do have become exponentially more complicated. Hence the 64 bit architecture. Hence the smaller and smaller nM processes. If you have a software engineering degree then you should understand that this is becoming a windows-like OS. And guess what, all windows OSs require maintenance. The further and further we advance in this tech space, the more and more complicated things are going to get. That's how this works. Yes, in theory, they should just work. Real life and historical data tells me that it's only going to come with more and/or different hiccups along the way.
I never said you have to do a FDR "every time" you get a security update. What I'm saying is, sometimes it's necessary. You're looking for an argument where as I was looking to educate. Take it or leave it.
I am also seeing the same poor battery standby times after the December patch on my U11. After the Oreo update, battery life was was still as good as it was on Nougat - about 2 days of moderate use.
