Android 15 and battery life

[mccornwall]

My P8Pro upgraded to 1 yesterday. Battery life already noticeably worse. And 15 really brings me personally not much I'm interested in. Meh.

My P8P's battery life also seems a bit shorter (worse in the beginning, but nothing too serious now or I'd really be whining ) after the 15 update, but no scientific testing to back up my anecdotal thoughts and I am still assessing the situation. Hopefully, any battery issues will be resolved in the next monthly update.

There was also next to nothing that 15 brought to the table for my use case, but I can see how some of the new features might be considered useful by some users.

Let's hope that there will be something new, exciting and useful for both you and I in QPR2. Personally, I'm hoping to see the 80% charge cap.

How many charge cycles have you gone through since the update? Battery life often seems worse for the first day or so after an update because updates use a fair amount of energy. I would give it several more days and see if it still seems worse after that.

I haven't noticed any issues on my 7 Pro on 15. It's also worth rebooting if you haven't already.

How long does it last ?

Sometimes between major Android updates like 14 to 15 a factory reset could help , also in settings menu under battery run the diagnostics

While there are 3rd-party options, there isn't a "diagnostics" setting available in battery settings on the P8P. I seem to recall that there may have been one at one time after/under the battery widget setting and have no idea when or why it may have been removed (if my recollection is even correct).

I have been using the Ampere app to give me a little better battery information than what is available in settings.

Interesting. What Android version? Does it show after/under the battery widget setting? Can you share a screenshot?
