Google Pixel 6/Pixel 6 Pro

Might be how its configured or need a re-install or a reboot.

I don't have the Withings app so it wasn't the drain in my case - oddly I find that, after installing AccuBattery to see if I could trace the issue, my battery use started levelling off itself. Whether it was an app update or some AI battery magic on the phone itself, I don't know 🤷‍♂️

I'm on the Betas and my battery was totally sh1t the last while. Down to 75% after checking emails in bed in the morning. Just took a 13mb update that does something to the modems so hoping that'll resolve it

If you need to ask then theres no point in being in the Beta program... Theres a chance it will make your phone less usable, so if it's a daily driver, as you siad then don't bother. Put it on a beater if you're interested in bug finding...

For me there are no features I care enough about to try the beta.

No. Though I have a pixel.

I'm on a phone forum and they always forensically test the latest beta's. So I hear about the details without the pain of trying it.

Most phone batteries start to degrade by then.

Also OS updates often have new features which consumer more power on older devices.

When we could replace batteries I never found the replacements to last that long either.

That's mine since coming off the charger around 7.30 this morning.

5 hours 15 minutes screen on time.

If you are getting a full day, from waking to going to bed does it really matter.

My pixel is about 27 months old, I've noticed the battery life has declined a bit lately. Mine came off the charger at 2am its about 23% now but I didn't use it much today. About 3hrs onscreen, 19hrs on idle. On a day with heavy use, especially video, if I'm on the train etc, it can need a top up when I get home, before heading out again. But with a fast charger 5~10 mins top up will last the evening. Which is why I got a faster charger.

4a5G. We have a few other pixels but they are heavier users and tend to charge at random. I realize the 6/6 pro will use more battery being higher end phones.

Even with other brands I find battery starts to dip after two years. But the kids get our old phones they seem to manage ok. That said I started only buying phones (Xiaomi, Motorola) with 4000-5000 mAh a few years back. That said one of the kids still uses a 3a with 3000 mAh won't switch too something better. Think they like the size.

I wouldn't be doing it while it's less than 2 years old and still under warranty. You'll probably also lose any waterproofing your phone has, as well as voiding the warranty.

The reality is that battery life doesn't drop off anything like what people make out in the first few years. It's usually a result of software rather than the actual battery degradation. Start off with a full factory reset and only install the apps you use on a daily basis. Most people would see a dramatic improvement in battery life.

I got a crack in mine 4a5G last summer. Digitiser working fine. Seems uneconomical to repair, as despite reports otherwise I don't think you can replace just the glass. I think by the point you wish to change the battery in a 6, you could probably justify selling it and buying a 7.

If it's under 2 years and you have major battery degradation that is actual battery degradation, this is a defect and it would be replaced under warranty. Most people would still have around 90% battery capacity after a couple of years.

Android has become very bloaty. Even stock android.
