I think I have the answer. Besides disabling Wifi and turning off the "automatically turn-on Wifi", there's a setting in the Apps & Notifications section. For the Pixel 2 XL phone, purchased through Google.com (should apply to the carrier one too). Go to Settings > Apps & Notifications At...

Just saw note 2 at Costco this weekend. It's around $220 before taxes. Verizon is the carrier. Swyped from Samsung galaxy note 2 (Verizon), titanium color

I would also add that you should turn off auto-synching of accounts and GPS when you're not planning to use it. Swyped from Samsung galaxy note 2 (Verizon), titanium color

No way you can get close to 48 hrs with the 3200mah stock battery, unless you have real minimal use Swyped from Samsung galaxy note 2 (Verizon), titanium color

Looking forward to seeing your uptime when the battery is below 10% Swyped from Samsung galaxy note 2 (Verizon), titanium color

16 hrs uptime with with 18% left is pretty good. I'd be interested in seeing if you went back to the stock battery if you see equal or better battery, give and take how busy the day is Sent from Samsung galaxy note 2 (Verizon), titanium color

It depends on what you're doing at the time. My experience is that with it in standby, it's 1% an hour. Listening to podcasting is cheap on the battery too. I would say streaming video, YouTube and having is costly Sent from Samsung galaxy note 2 (Verizon), titanium color
