Battery life after Oreo

[pauldroidr2d2]

Mine is a little bit better.

I updated on Friday and so far battery life is pretty comparable.

Good idea! Thanks!

Go into your Storm Radar app and send feedback to the developer. It probably hasn't been properly updated to handle Android 8.0.

Good idea! Thanks!

Wow! I just bungled that reply.

factory reset seems to have sorted my battery life issues too.

When you do a factory reset do you "set up as new device" or choose to restore from a backup?

 

[pauldroidr2d2]

I usually restore from a backup.

I did the factory reset, restored from backup- and it's still terrible. Google has offered me a replacement, though I'm hesitant..

 

[danielcj]

Don't restore. Try from scratch.

 

[Lunkman23]

Thx, I'll give it a shot.

Re: High Battery Efficiency ...?

Sorry, didn't mean to include that screenshot twice! Typical day's usage and typical battery life for me, but there are so many factors that affect the battery life that comparing one person's figures to somebody else's is pretty meaningless.

thats bad battery try resetting your phone. i bet you it will be well worth it

This is bad. 4 mins of screen time and unplugged under 1 hour ago

I noticed really bad battery life at first. When looking at app usage, though, I noticed that Oreo now lets you disable/limit background activity for individual apps under "manage battery use" (I don't think this was the case before). I disabled it for Facebook, Instagram, and a couple of other culprits, and now my battery estimate says 1 day, 4 hours left after being off charger for 5h 17min. Still need to see how it holds up, but I'm now optimistic.

Anyone know a reason why my battery would say 23% but then I go into advance battery usage and it shows 40%?

So I can definitely say my battery life sucks after the Oreo update. I forgot my Pixel XL at home today on my coffee table. I have a strong network signal, and it's been connected to WiFi all day. Last checked the phone at like 6:45am, just looked on Find My Device and it indicates there's 87% battery left now at 3:16pm. Like it's done NOTHING all day but somehow drained 13% just sitting on the table?

I have already reset my phone and restored from backup. I hope this issue is cleared up in a future Oreo update.

if you are on the preview program that could be the culprit as there is no Android P program yet. I had the same issues, as soon as I read. about that on another part I found I was indeed still on the preview program. unsubscribed, it rebooted, reloaded the pixel os and I'm good to go, no more hot phone extended battery. hope this helps

My battery life is decent but I'm confused on why Google Play Services would be using more battery than my screen. This was on a day where I had clear LTE all day. The only time I used the phone was a couple texts, 1 phone call, and the rest was playing Crashlands.

 

[BamaDave]

Mine has been really bad also. I did a factory reset and it is better but us still draining faster than before the Oreo update. Very disappointing! I'm considering reverting back to previous version of Android. I can't really see any new features in Oreo worth tolerating this reduction in battery life.

I can't complain. This is without a post-install factory update. And, admittedly, this has been a light usage day.
