Recent Battery Life

[xxaarraa]

Yes, after the April update, my battery has been draining faster as well (have had phone since November). Weirdly, bluetooth seems to be a top 3 battery hog. I deleted and repaired all my bluetooth devices and it didn't solve the issue. Never had bluetooth be a big drain before April update either.

Hoping May update fixes this issue.

My battery is awesome, I'm also always on 5 bars of LTE in the Chicago area

Mine is better, but I'm sure it due to not losing signal every 10 mins with the hollow bar issue

Mine is ridiculously good, I'm getting 6-7 SOT hours from 100 to 0. Standby is not that good tho

I'm hoping the may update fixes the battery performance. Mine has noticeably suffered with the April update. Seems every other day I'm having to put the phone on the charger during the day for a little while. I've had the phone since November and I've maybe done this 3 or 4 times prior to the April update. My son has his own phone now too, so he's also not playing games and clash Royale on my phone anymore either...

Ever since April I'm struggling with battery. My phone just used 11% sitting on the night stand in 2.5 hours. Number 1 usage item is always Android system now. What the heck is going on?!?

May Security update simply slammed my battery life.
It's been exceptional since last Fall when I got my Pixel XL.
Nothing has changed otherwise.

Now? Battery does not make it through the day.
Terrible!

Same here. Battery was exceptional prior to the April update for me. It's been horrible since.

Noticed yesterday that since the May update, battery life has been negatively affected. I have marginal 4G coverage at home (orange line all day) and phone was about dead in about 12 hours of minimal use.

Same for me as well....lastest May security update has trimmed my battery life on my Pixel XL

 

[beeztrain]

Not sure what happened but I deleted a bunch of apps I didn't use, uninstalled Facebook and reinstalled because it was giving me connectivity issues and my battery life and Android system usage is back to normal

Same for me and my wife. We both have Nexus 5x phones. Both devices had an uptime of about 28 hours. Starting with the May Security patch of 7.1.2 release of android, the uptime has been reduced to only about 12 hours. All the time "Android-System" is the high scorer in the energy overview with up to 40 %.

Both phones had no major changes in point of view to apps installed / changed. It really looks like the latest security update is the root cause of battery drain.

Does anybody already know about an existing bug ID to reference in the Google Android bug tracker?

Can a few of those having battery issues of late try turning off their wifi? I did this yesterday and my battery drain got better, and appears to be better today as well. Not as good as before the April security update, but certainly better than what I've had the past month. My son is also trying this on his Nexus 6P as his battery took a dive after the April update as well.

Battery life was a Giant plus like everyone one else after latest update it has been terrible. Google what ever you fixed STOP unfix it. Largest drain by far is the OS.

 

[mdx014]

I can confirm, when I turn of WiFi for a whole day, the battery life gets better, but I'm not sure if this is simply because WiFi is off, or whether there is any relation to the root cause for having high battery drain and high percentage uses of OS process.

My Pixel XL battery life is not what it was a few months ago...seems to not last the whole day anymore.

How long did you have your Pixel XL before you noticed battery degradation?
