I know it's very early, but since I updated my Pixel 5 to Android 12, the battery % when I retire for the evening is lower than it was before.
Same usage, same time taking it off the Pixel Stand in the morning etc (today, it was about 9.45pm) and it's now got 27% left at 22.51pm. Pretty sure I had lot more than that before.
I'm not moaning (yet), just a observation at these early stages, everything else since upgrading to A12 seems fine.
Cheers and enjoy A12.
Battery life seems about the same for me. The first couple days on 12 beta 5 it did seem a little more power hungry, but now it's about the same as it was on 11.
Thanks, I always expect a little settling in period for major updates.
PS. In my original post it should state 9.45am, not pm !!
I don't really know if it'll help, but if you came from A11 to A12 without wiping, you may benefit from wiping battery stats.
If you are rooted, you can use this app.

I've been using it for a little over a day now and the batter life has not wowed me. I've seen better battery life on KitKat. That being said, this is not a final version, and a lot of the Google Services based apps aren't updated yet.
Please share your results of battery life time, and Screen On Time so the community can get a consensus of battery life running this new Developer Preview.
I have achieved just over 4 hours of SOT after my first days use.
Just my thoughts exactly.
Same here

It's horrible for me , dunno why . I've got only 2 apps installed , Tapatalk and another one . Miscellaneous is always on top :/ ...
Yea. I've been getting 5+ hours sot on KK. Not on Lollipop. November 3rd isn't too far away tho!
Hammerhead | L Developer Preview Final
Probably shouldn't whine around since it's a developer's preview but I agree with the above posts.. Battery life has been quite pathetic for me as well. Can't make it through a day on a single charge now.
Really missing ElementalX!
Back on kk due to heavy battery drain .. On first preview battery life was awesome .. Don't know what's wrong in the new preview . i hope the final build will be better
I highly doubt the final version will be any better. Less then a month away for final release. It takes a long time to find all those issues etc. It's going to be a work in progress for months.
The final version may be a bit better but I can't imagine 3 weeks is going to make a huge difference.
Absolutely fine for me, same as KitKat.
You guys are doing something wrong.

Apparently not... People who have wiped everything and installed only gmail/tapatalk are also experiencing huge drains even after a few battery cycles.
In my case, the phone sleeps just fine and goes to deep sleep without any wakelocks. However, when I start using it, battery drops down every few minutes and it doesn't even last a day. The overall drain is too much. May be few of my most used apps aren't fully compatible with Lollipop and hence the drain...

I believe the final version is ages ahead of this preview. IMHO they probably had to set up a more or less stable build for developers to test the final API, It doesn't mean the final version got much more changes.
They probably got the tech stuff done and released it for developers without caring of other changes, just technical to make sure apps would work...
Battery for me is being horrible too, got many batdrains but I think It will be improved on the final version.
At 65% battery now. Uptime 16 hours SoT 1 hour 44 min.
Lost 2% battery in 10 hours sleep this night while it was on wifi.
By the way this is the first battery cycle ever on this phone. Bought it yesterday, went home and flashed Lollipop right away then fully charged and started using it. So the usage has some app downloads etc.
The final version for Nexus 5 will not be in the 3/11.
Google will only update at that day the Nexus 7 and Nexus 10, Nexus 9. (hardware without LTE).
Nexus 5 will be update to Android 5.0 later of November. (like Nexus 6)
I have this preview version and I see that the gpu driver need some polish.
Personally I get the same battery life on Lollipop than on Kitkat. Maybe little better especially when screen off. I had the "miscellaneous bug" and my battery suffered a lot but I removed many apps (G+ ?) and the battery consumption of the "miscellaneous" things drops to only few percents.
part of the battery life drain is due to the much more aggressive on-demand settings

Same here.. mostly the same battery life..
Overnight drain is reduced - the graph is pretty much horizontal during that time. Once you start using it though it doesn't seem any different.
Only thing I have installed currently is the google apps (chrome, G+, gmail, maps).
Please use the current battery life thread here

Hello all, I am assuming other people have had this issue, but are there any roms out there that fix the battery life between the KitKat and Lollipop updates? My battery was amazing at first, I could come off battery in the am, and still be at 95% around noon to 1pm, but now it drains about 20% faster it seems (wild guess, but I very much do not like it.)
Let me know if anyone has come across a rom that has the awesome battery as KitKat had, otherwise I might just try and go back to that.
Thanks!
I'm currently finding myself in the same situation as you. I've been on 5.0.1 for a while, but my battery life has been pretty bad. I just haven't bothered to do anything about it until my son got a Moto G and can get 5.5-6 hours of SOT, and I'm struggling to get 2.5 lately.
I installed CM 12.1 nightly last night, and so far, it may actually be worse. I can't keep it anyways due to music playback bugs.
I was on TEKXodus N4 URv3.6R3 prior to switching. Like the ROM (as much as one can like a TW ROM), but didn't deliver battery life.
I actually came here tonight to read up on the KK downgrade routine and find a KK ROM and start that.

Well that is unfortunately not what I was hoping to hear, but it may just be worth downgrading. I do like the aesthetics and such, especially of 5.1.1 which I have on my Nexus 4, but I much prefer usability and battery that kitkat provided.
I'm sure I'm not alone in saying it's possible to get just as good battery life on LP as KK. I think you need to look at your setup, wakelocks, rogue apps, too many notifications or apps that constantly sync over the internet etc. Example: I lose 2% battery over night (8 hours).

Fwiw, I reverted to ank4 based FireKat and my battery life is back to great. 4 hours sot + 8 hours of music via slacker and/or Google.
People say you can good battery life on LP but I never could. I went through guide after guide, and none of it ever did anything for me. I'm also not going to cripple my phone for the sake of battery. I'd still like it to work.
Does someone drain the battery faster with the use (more than usual) with the last patch for those who have Android 8.0?
Yes, I can see at least 30 minutes drop in screen on time. But it's not much serious drain I think.
I'm always baffled by people claiming battery drainage difference update to update. Am I the only person that doesn't notice a darn thing? I will admit I've noticed between major Android updates but not OTAs.

Clearly there are different types of use, so some may last longer or others less, in my use this last update drains me a little more, it is not much to the point of lowering from 100% to 90% in less than 20 min but it is the first update that I notice, even though it lasts for my journey
I can accept different uses but the patch notes for majority of OTAs consist of mostly security patches. I think it's in the head of most people but very very very few actually keep logs or battery stats of use between updates so no one can really prove it. Judging from just this thread, not many takers. Can try the subReddit to gauge.
Still, I have seen these types of thread for many devices. ::shrugs::
Are people noticing any improvement or worsening?
It's been a lot better for me
Battery life for me is ok, with the official installed for the last 4 days. I'm upto 6 hrs sot on my usage and intend to leave it on charge overnight to complete any optimisations that may have not been done.
The call screen number flashing bug is still there though, but no other issues for me as yet.
i dont know guys... its lottery? i went down from 7h SOT to 2h... i did full wipe ect... i heard a lot of people that said it its better for them with battery and a lot of people saying its even worse than oreo

I'm having about the same batt life as I had with Oreo, but I've upgraded to Pie 2 days ago, so I'm hoping it will get better in about a week when the OS settles down and I'm done with setting it up. I've always had the idea that after a major OS upgrade, it keeps doing a lot of things in the background, making it use more battery than expected. For iOS this is even verified by Apple, but I don't know about Android.
Im used pie for about 2 weeks now.
For me, battery usage for idle is better, im got better standby time than oreo, but once im start using it, it drop faster than oreo. Phone also feel little more hot than on oreo.
Im got battery leakage last 2 days and then i realised that putting video wallpaper on lockscreen eat the battery alive even screen is turn off.. Its just still played in background.
Im got constant 6 and half hour of SOT on pie and 7 hour SOT on oreo (from 100 to 20%) of my battery. I
Im not heavy user, just used chrome and facebook only. No games.
So far, phone is more responsive on pie but never been lack on oreo.
However, im monitor my battery charge capacity with Aida64, im got 3139 mAh on pie and 3220-3298 on oreo. Its seems its limit to 3139 only now for my phone.
By the way, im used Note8 with exynos processor.
Pretty much the same as on Oreo on my N950N running Pie.
Note 8 battery much better with pie...... Verizon
I was expecting the same like for years new update new battery drain. This is the best a battery has ever done. I use my phone alot I have stopped background data for the battery hungry apps. With device care. I set it to see a week at a time. I only done this with Facebook and messenger and chrome. Even before it's been great for me I hope that all of you get better battery life. I know it's hard to do things when you have tug battery charger.
Pie is a joke don't update you will thank me
oreo it's a lot better, but i use custom kernel on pie, "phantom kernel" and my battery life it's a lot better even better than oreo with stock kernel.
Not bad.
Some people here hating on pie, more power to you, but I've only had one minor bug with the sound "popping" in the "My Noise" app, turning off Wifi during use fixes it. Also, all the benefits such as Good Lock, Bixby Routines and dark mode more than make up for the one minor bug I have. FWIW I am on Sprint and Snapdragon model.
Curious. Considering updating soon. Need help manuals. OTA keeps saying "processing failed"
Hi there 10 pro users
I don't know if you all noticed but i started with oos 13 a couple weeks ago without root i had it on QHD 120hz it was pretty good to use battery latest very long lasting and always 8 hours sot so that was pretty good to have until i started to root it again wanted to check out somethings but then the horror started couldn't reach no more the 8 hours sot it was reduced to 4 hours even heavy drains sometimes drops in Hz to 1 found out that it is found in there kernel source too they are trying to prevent root or this device needs a hell of a kernel dev who can fix all this or enjoy the device how you like and how you want too use it. And to be honest my opinion don't root it you will have more fun with your device since this is dead in development
I have posted some pictures below the one with 8 hours sot was before root the rest of the pictures after root
Hi, but there is a difference...
Your screen time is not the same, so the comparison is not valid.
I'm rooted and have not noticed a drain on the battery... I have heavily debloated though.
My apps list in battery doesn't show anything anymore but this is one charge.
I didn't just leave it with the screen on either lol. But have been reading a lot on chrome.

Are you sure the one of 8 hours was the first time I had oos 13 installed even wiped it set it up with something's a few apps what ik using but after I wanted it too root found out that they want too prevent it so my CPU where locked and this only happens in oos 13 but in oos 12 I didn't had that much problems with root but still it's a heavy drainer device

Well you switched back so you know what I'm talking about but what did you debloated and what did you use to downgrade ?
But for now my battery is like this I have franco kernel manager running without root and setup with adb commands I have a drain right now of 0.90 but it doesn't seems to add up to my first 8 hours sot

It's subjective based on user, location, network, apps etc..
I've already advised in other threads what I've done in detail.
Rolling back AFAIK there is only one way and that's the rollback package found in the beta thread.
Debloat from the debloat thread.
I average 10 hours at least and I use my phone all day long 7am to midnight most days.

Same. I regularly only have to fully charge this device once a day. It'll last me easily from morning to night on a full charge with moderate use throughout the day. With added streaming / gaming on a lunch break, if I don't sometimes I can even get away with two work days (around 1.5 days) on a single charge.
The battery is definitely good, just need to use your system wisely, like with most tech. The fact that it charges to full in about 25 minutes is just gravy.

Yea mines about 2 days ish.. if I'm on citra or an emulator then sure it'll be a lot less but gaming on lunch will still see me through the day.
Charging is insane on this phone, not 100% if it's good for the battery or not.
Thermals for me were higher on oos13 hence why I switched back, I do prefer the look and feel of 13 but it annoyed me to have extra heat during gaming etc.
Haven't tested C.21 yet, but have heard good things.
Hi, I don't agree with the fact that root is draining battery. I am on oos13 since the first day of stable build and now on C21, rooted with xposed and 4 modules running and didn't noticied any différence with and without root. Maybe loosing a bit with xposed but I still managed to get 11h of sot (wifi and a lot of reading) and average 6h on mobile data. Also the phone is debloated.
@dladz i used to charge my phone with old 20w op3 block (no need of full speed, and trying to save battery life) but the few times I used the 80w I didnt noticied more heat on C21 than on oos12. But I don't use m'y phone while charging and always put it in airplane mode. If you want I can try some scénarios while charging and send you températures to compare

Just run a heavy emulator like Aetherx2 running lets say Tekken Tag Tournament..
I noticed C20 throttle but not A17.
I haven't noticed c,21 as I've never installed it... Fair bit of work to get back to how I like my phone.... Plus a few mods that don't work on 13 yet

Ok i will try it. By throtteling you are just looking if the phone start lagging or testing with an app like '' cpu throtteling test ''?
I know you were talking of c20, I was saying that just for you to have some data/feedback of c21 si you don't have to try it yourself, if I can help. But yes if some of your mods don't work on 13 I understand why you are staying with 12

Ah cheers man.. You'd don't have to do that, but I appreciate it..
Then again it'd be nice for you to get Aetherx2 running.. Reckon you'll like it..
Throttling as in the device getting hot then cycling down the CPU to save it from overheating.
I noticed the dips in performance plus the heat was substantially higher on 13 than 12 just from memory.
Maybe some other heavy games could emulate this test too
