Anybody else's battery life just sucks ?

First off, I don't think people sharing their experiences rises to the level of a "pissing match". It is helpful for the OP to know that not everyone seems to have the same problem.

Secondly, if you are experiencing more than a percent of use with the phone sitting on the dresser overnight--and you don't live on a boat in the middle of rough seas--then you need to report the experience to Google, you may have a bad phone. And that is without turning off services such as bluetooth and WiFi. First though, you should check the battery graph and related information to see what is using the battery. You may have an app that is misbehaving.

Third, and final, without more info, troubleshooting by the forum is like finding ants in a dark room. You might stumble upon them, and you might notice when you do, but its not that easy. Some things the OP can try if not already tried is restarting, running in safe mode awhile and comparing, factory resetting and loading apps with some testing time in-between each app. All that though should come after what has already been said about looking in settings, battery at the graph and other information. I never have to charge my phone until I go to bed at night--I'm not a heavy user, I don't do videos on the phone, or games, but I do some reading over lunch.
 
Pound for pound, and in my experiences, the Pixel has had the best battery life of any phone I have ever used. Also, why did the OP just disappear? I swear so many of these threads are to just get people riled up.

You're right, the posts prove good battery life is possible to someone seeking just that information . . .My intention in making the statement is to draw attention to the fact that SOT posts alone are not going to help someone achieve better battery life if they already know that they have an issue.

For this particular thread after revisiting the first post I'm not so sure if the OP is looking to actually solve an issue, so I think you're more spot on in this case than I am.
 
Well he said his PIxel's life VS his iPhones -- Not GSMArena battery life ;). Not sure how a battery tests applies to someones personal uses 100% of the time. If battery tests went off my phone usage all phones would suck since I can drop most phones to 30-40% before lunch :P.

Seriously? A regular Pixel beating an iPhone 7 Plus in battery life just doesn't happen, unless ultra power saving mode is on all the time on the PIxel.

I can't say for sure as I don't have both to test side by side. All depends on what you do on one phone versus the other -- he could have been harder on the Plus. As I said I can almost kill any phone (probably could some phones) before lunch at work.

I dunno, when I took a look at that GSM Arena link you posted and searched for the 7 Plus and regular Pixel, the table seemed to support what Almeuit is saying.

The default overall endurance ratings for the two devices are 75h for the 7+ and 64h for the regular Pixel. These are aggregated scores based upon doing 1 hour of calls, 1 hour of video and 1 hour of browsing every 24 hour period.

However if you look at the table a little closer and you'll see that the Pixel posts high talk time and video playback scores compared to the iPhone 7+ (20:43h vs 18:03h for talk time in favor of the Pixel and 11:27h vs 7:54h for video playback in favor of the Pixel). This means that users that do heavy calling and heavy video playback but only light browsing are going to see better battery life on a Pixel than an iPhone 7+.

No. No it's just not possible. I had both and I could see the Pixel's battery life going down as I was using it. The iPhone 7 Plus's battery life wasn't going down nearly as fast as the Pixel.

And your usage may not match others usage so it varies -- hence why no one battery test means "This is the standard 100%!" ;).
