Definitely this. The Quad DAC (specifically, ESS Sabre ES9218P) is utilized as long as it's turned on. If you use headphones with 50 ohms or higher impedance, then the power is increased to accomodate. What's interesting is that my Audio-Technica ATH-M50x don't go terribly loud, because at 38...

Just noticed this thread, thought I'd jump in with my own quick thoughts. With the Oreo update, which made the watch a bit quicker, and the excellent sleep tracking, I'm not giving my Watch 2. I was pleasantly surprised to see sleep tracking arrive, I wasn't expecting it, and it works better...

Out of curiosity, what will you do if your phone takes as long as it seems to get repaired? From the reports here, I'd be surprised if you get yours back within a month.

Yep, everything is working on mine, as well.

I'm happy to say that so far, my battery life is back to where it was before the update broke things. That is to say, very good. Whew!

I'm fairly certain mine had the December update as well.

Just wanted to jump back in this thread and note that my U11's battery life has also reverted back to terrible, even after the factory reset. I'm just not sure what they broke, but standby is just horrid. I'm really hoping they fix it next time around -- the phone went from having great battery...

I'm happy to report that in my case, the FDR did help with battery life, specifically with standby. It's now back to where it was before the update, at least so far. Fingers crossed that it remains that way.

Yeah, this is what I'm afraid of: do the FDR and it won't change anything. And mine is now significantly worse, won't even make it to 6pm on moderate usage (used to make it to the next day).

Yes, this is pretty much what I've seen -- it's simply using more battery on standby with no obvious culprit. And like you, my battery life remained excellent after Oreo and only fell off after the latest update. Part of me suspects it's due to a Spectre patch, but of course I have zero...

Yeah, that looks more like what I was getting previously. Thanks, although grrr, don't really have time to redo my phone.

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...

So, has anyone on an unlocked Oreo U11 experienced significant battery drain since the December security update? Mine went from excellent (usually 60% or more left at the end of the day with my usual use) to less than 30% remaining by 8pm even when I've barely touched it. I'm wondering if...

Yeah, I'm with you: I've never considered Amazon's return process to be a hassle (at least, relatively speaking). It's about as easy as it can be. In fact, I'd process a replacement, which is just as easy: Amazon will send a replacement and you still have 30 days to send in the original.

So, judging by the options under the developer Bluetooth audio codec, the U11 now supports aptX HD. That seems to be a pretty nice development.
