About 12%, don't have AOD on anyway & there's nothing unusual in the usage. I leave on desk stand charger overnight if I'm working the following day but leaving it off at the moment (I've not noticed any appreciable battery degradation leaving it on charge with previous phones, but try not to...

My O2 in the UK just let me in with face unlock, though the text hasn't been updated and asked for my fingerprint, even though it was displaying the face unlock symbol

Very nice! I'm itching to try this. No, I don't think it is just a gimmick, maybe a niche feature but plenty of photography geeks will use it.

Middle of the city, and overcast skies ideal conditions do not make! Hopefully get somewhere that I can try it soon though

I've turned off the wake on lift and wake by proximity and only have tap to wake on, partly so it doesn't unlock whenever I get near it and partly for battery life (it was waking up in my pocket and draining the battery). I'd like to have both methods switched back on whilst I'm at home only...

Got it in the UK last night

Agreed, the poor reviews do leave a sour taste in the mouth and make you wonder if you made the right choice but you have to try it for yourself. And the reviews are pretty uniformly only slating the battery life as a negative. Sure, it could be better, but battery life has been the bane of all...

Huh, after all that and Google insisting it is hardware and wanting to replace it, the October update fixed it. It's been working fine all day?!

Ah, I have given up now and am just restoring all my apps and settings. Google just wanted to replace it, but it's 2 years old and I'm just waiting for the 4 to be released, it's just frustrating, but I guess at least it lasted almost flawlessly up until it's last few weeks! Thanks for the...

I tried the GPS app and it did indeed show all of the motion sensors as dead. So, I've tried resetting and not restoring anything, and it worked fine. Tried rotation on a few apps (including the camera). So, then I reset and restored settings, but not apps and it was fine until I opened the...

It came back while I was still in safe mode. I tried maps and it worked, then went to the camera and it had stopped working and I couldn't get it back. Subsequent attempts to boot into safe mode has not brought it back to working at all, even briefly.

This seems to be a fairly common problem, but I cannot find a clear solution, so giving it a go here. About a week ago, my accelerometer just stopped working. No auto-rotate, camera images don't save in the correct orientation, maps is far less useful, it's surprising just how much it is used...

Not sure if this should go in an existing battery thread or if it's new?! I charge my phone overnight, a few times recently it has not charged at all despite being plugged in, but this is inconsistent. I woke up this morning and it was apparently completely drained, so I plugged it into the...

I was at work and didn't have time to investigate but switched it off and recharged, seems to have gone back to normal now 🤨

I'm on 40%, last full charge was 4 hours 46 mins ago, screen on time 20 minutes! It's been on airplane mode for almost half that time as I was working! This needs fixing asap! Edit: another 6% gone in the 20 mins since I posted that!?!
