Pixel 2 battery quick drain after charging - Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers

I usually charge my almost new Pixel 2 up to 80-85% to protect the battery.
After each charge , I get faster battery drain until it reaches 60-65%.

I am continuing my post here, the app seem to limit text size.
As the battery level drops, stand by drain reduces a lot as well . From about 2% an hour at 80% it reaches 0,7% when at 30%. Battery seems to last much longer between 60 and 30% .
I am thinking about returning the device. Any advice is welcome.
I have tried resetting the battery by full charging when powered off to no effect.

1) Charge your phone to ~80% and then disconnect. Use your phone normally and see how the battery drains
Now test step 2 and see how the battery drain compares with step 1
2) This time charge your phone to 100% and then wait about 30 min before disconnect

Thank you for your reply.
Charging to 100% and leaving it there doesn't change anything, tried that already. Seems to have a quick drain to about 60% as well.
Tried this twice actually, both phone on and off.
Resetting the phone might help?
My previous Pixel 1 data was copied into this phone using the cable, if of any importance.

There were instances where restoring from another phone or from a backup could increase the change of issues. Your new Pixel 2 should of already created back ups in google drive. Just make sure your info is backed up in case there is something important on your phone.
1) Try resetting the phone, then while setting it up, sign in with your google account and restore from from most recent back up(which was created on Pixel 2)
If this helps you resolve the issue, then great. If not, try resetting the phone again, but this time don't restore anything and setup your phone as new

Ok, tried option 2 directly.
I will return with feedback. Now I am traveling and stand by drain is not very representative. But accu battery sot went up, so I am a bit optimistic.
Thank you.

[HOW-TO] - Battery Calibration

There has been much confusion and frustration surrounding our battery life and these custom roms. Some of us have great battery while others are having horrid problems.
I am writing this guide in the hopes it will help all of you with problems getting that great battery life.
This is a guide written from my own experience and technical understanding.
First, Your phone should drain, on average, 1% per hour or less while in standby mode (screen off). If you are not getting this average, you need to calibrate your battery.
ALWAYS flash a new rom with your phone at 100% battery - no exceptions!
i know some guides say to run battery down to 2% and then charge, but i never had much luck with this.
1) Before you flash your rom, charge your battery to 100% with the phone ON.
2) Once it says fully charged, turn the phone off and plug it in and wait for the on screen display to say 100% (this will take 5 to 10 min)
3) Turn the phone back on, and plug it in and charge till it says 100%
4) turn off the phone and charge again while off until the on screen battery indicator says 100% (again this will take 5 to 10 min)
5) repeat steps 1 thru 4 as many times as you feel comfortable, I recommend at least twice (I do it 3 times)
6) when you are satisfied with the charge, and the phone is still OFF with the indicator saying 100%, unplug the phone, remove the battery, and place the phone in download mode (hold vol down and plug into the PC)
7) flash your package (this is done in odin with the battery removed)
8) The first boot after the flash needs to be into Clockwork Recovery, wipe battery stats at this time (most roms will boot into recovery automatically, if not, boot into recovery manually)
9) after you have wiped your battery stats, wipe cache and other data (if the rom you are flashing requires this, if not, skip this step)
10) Boot the rom to the homescreen.
11) from this point on, you will use your phone like normal until the phone completely shuts off. this SHOULD take a while. you should see improved battery life during this stage. If not, dont panic, just run the battery down until the phone shuts off
12) once the phone shuts off (try to time this to happen at bedtime) plug the phone in and allow it to charge in the OFF position
13) once it is at 100% again, use the phone like normal and enjoy your new battery life.
IF YOU ARE DOING THIS WHILE NOT FLASHING A NEW ROM
Do steps 1-4 as many times as needed, I recommend at least twice, i do this 3 times
on the last charge up (your phone should be off while charging during this step) unplug the phone and boot directly into recovery and wipe battery stats. then proceed with the rest of the guide.
TO TEST THIS
charge to phone to 100%, try not to mess with it for an hour or so.. (light usage at most) you should still be at 100% or 99% after an hour. If you are at 95% or below, then the calibration has failed. (unless you have been using the phone or are in a very low to no signal area).
this calibration method is crucial to good battery life. Before I started doing this i was getting very bad battery life. Click on my username and look at my previous posts.. you will read about me *****ing badly about my battery, this is what I did and it has worked amazingly well.
I hope this helps
I combined a lot of techniques ive seen in other threads and some websites and then created this technique which seems to work really well.
I have used this technique and can confirm, it works well if done properly.

Are the first few steps what is referred to as "bump charging"?
I think this has worked quite well. I flashed Humble 1.2 (at 40% battery) last night, charged up, then started this procedure. After I got done, I took it off the charger and after 15 minutes of trying a new game, listening to a minute of music, and checking various things, I was still at 100%. i left it off, went to bed with wi-fi on, and woke up at 95%. Awesome. My all-day phone is back.

What happens after the calibration process? do i have to do this everytime i charge my battery or does like normal mean i can just leave it charge whenever. Also with what frequency should i be doing this? once a month calibration?
Just did this... 1 hour 15 mins. and still at 100% Sent two text messages out and played Words with Friends for a minute. Thanks!
Did this and it didn't work advice on what I am doing wrong I did the bump charge 2 times ran the phone down 100% and am now looking at 88 percent of next to no use after about an hour and a half of having the phone on.

I am in the same boat with you.....I'll just have to accept the fact that I will have to charge every 6 hours, which was a 2 hour step up from the TB.
This works, going on 17 hours and still at 65%.

What I am curious to know is what is usage like for the people that this worked for. Don't get me wrong I'm not doubting the op but I am a pretty heavy user and even so I'm not really experiencing this awesome battery life everyone talks about when I'm not using it heavily
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA App
For all of you that are getting the great life, what percentage does it list for display? This is under settings > about phone > battery use.
I'll have to try this method. My battery life is actually worse now after I tried doing the drain to 2% method. I'll report back with my observations.
Are we talking 3G or 4G here?
I would find it useful when people are talking about how good (or bad) their battery life is to know if they are in a 4G area and have 4G turned on, or are they using 3G only?
Trying to figure out how bad a hit 4G takes on my phone...
Thanks.

So I tried this out yesterday...I don't have a rooted phone so I could not wipe battery stats (does anyone know how to do this without rooting your phone?)...but I did follow steps 1-4 three times and I have gone 23 hours on my charge without having to plug it in. I am in a 4g area and had 4g and background services on for the full 23 hours. Had bluetooth, GPS, and wifi turned off. I sent a couple texts, used whatsapp to send texts, used google voice to send texts, made 3 phone calls (about 4 to 5 min each) played angry birds for about 20 min, played words with friends for 10 min, surfed the web on and off, was on tapatalk and browsing forums for about 20 min and I installed a new keyboard and web browser on my phone in those 23 hours.
I am very curious to know if this will improve battery life after that first initial bump charge.
If you do a regular charge after depleting the charge, do you still see improved battery life?

Well... did this too with no luck. I'm just going to have to deal with the fact that this is a power hungry phone.

Yes. The phone will pull the necessary power for download mode and the Odin flash from the USB port. Just be sure to use a primary USB port (usually the ones on the back of the computer), rather than a hub, as the hub tends to cause problems.

[Q] Odd battery life situation

I've always been reasonably happy with my battery life. If I use it heavily it goes down. If I don't it can stay charged for a couple of days. Within the last week or so that has dramatically changed. All of a sudden it barely makes it through the night from a full charge to 10% or so. It also "seems" that normal use drains it at least twice as fast. Anecdotal but I know something is wrong or different.
I haven't made any changes to my phone for months. I'm running existz kernal for 2.2 and that is the only customization. I did get a bunch of app updates but that always happens. The battery use screen shows the batter is being used for display but over night, it doesn't/shouldn't display much.
Thoughts on how to find what the heck is going on would be appreciated.

What I would do if I were you is charge to 100%, recalibrate, and take the battery out for about 15 minutes before you put it back in and turn your phone on. I dunno.why this procedure worked for me but that's just a suggestion if you don't wanna flash to stock and back to whatever you're using.
Uninstall updates, then add them back, one at a time.

I notice dramatically different battery life when I use this procedure to charge my phone known as a bump charge.
1) charge to 100% or as close as your phone will get while it is on.
2) Disconnect charger
3)Turn off phone
4)Re-Connect charger while phone is off
5) Wait until the phone says 100% charged while it is off. You can check the charge by using the volume buttons if the screen is asleep.
6) Unplug charger. (This is important. If you boot your phone with your charger plugged in it can give you inaccurate battery information.)
7) Boot up the phone.
That is really odd but mine has started doing the exact same thing. I have never had battery issues and for the first time today my phone was completely dead within 6 hours, and the past week it seems to hardly make it 12 hours.
I was just assuming it was the launcher I was using but I removed it and it never helped whatsoever.

I would agree with you on that but... I really have no idea what all got updated and don't know how to find out. the perils of auto-update I suppose.

I'll give that a try... it made it through last night in pretty good shape though. Confused I am.
Not sure if this helps or not, but here is my experience.
I have two wireless routers in my house. One I keep locked to N-only and the other to G-Only. The N router I have suspected for some time has a weak or flaky radio because I can watch the signal strength fluctuate wildly over a period of 10 seconds or so. I noticed a while back that when my phone is connected to the N router it will kill itself pretty much overnight. When I disable that connection and let it connect to the G router it only loses a couple % over an 8 hour period.
I don't know if it is due to being connected to N, or if my suspected flaky router is causing it to use more power staying locked onto the signal or something of that sort.

[Q] Battery stats resetting after reboot?

Unplugged from charger this morning and all was well, after about 12 hours I rebooted and now have stats that are acting like I just charged the phone (back to counting from 0.
Any idea what would cause this or how to fix it?
Should I delete the battery stats file and go through a full up charge cycle?
i dont really know what you are talking about but if the battery meter is acting like it is on a charger ie the icon show a battery filling up every couple seconds then it is likely a problem with the usb port. there may be some trash in there. could also be just some random bug and a power down and battery pull will reset the battery meter.
if you mean something else by "counting from zero" please explain. also this phone and samsung galaxy s phones have a standalone battery meter. it has some mapping that is preset but doesnt actually use "battstats" all those recal procedures that "helped" people in the galaxy s forums is plecebo effect. the battery life tends to appear to get better within a couple days after flashing a rom. throw a recal in the middle of those couple days and people naturally connect the better battery life with the recal.

What I mean is that lets say for example the battery stats show that the phone has been on battery for 1 day and when I reboot the counter is reset to 0 days (like if I had just pulled it off the charger). Twice now I have had the phone reset the time on battery counter along with the signal, awake, wifi graphs by only rebooting. this should not happen, i.e. the stats should not reset until charging is done. Hope that helps explain what I meant. Thanks.

What ROM are you on? From what I know, what you said happens on Froyo based ROMs. GB ROMs should not reset counter until phone is charged to 100%.
I have the exact same problem. On every reboot, battery use starts counting from 0 seconds. Anyone has a solution?

I had the same issue or should i say have. kinda. I'm on Zeus build 3 and when my batt gets to 100% i unplug...then maybe a cpl hours go by and i do a change and reboot..say three hours in. after reboot my "time on battery " resets to 0!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOt supposed to.
What i did and do still cause NO ONE else knows they have the prob or don't have it. so i don't have a sure fix..
charge to 100. go into recovery and wipe battery stats. let it boot. wait a cpl minutes. reboot...usually it will reset but sonce it;s only been a cpl minutes who cares. then go aobut your business...after some time..hours... try rebooting. shoud stay.
Best i can offer until i guess someone else says they have same issue...
THEN going forward after i re charge to 100 i reboot right then. and it seems to be good from there.
Pain In The Ass. I asked other on Zeus to check but not sure they get it.

go into settings/about phone/Battery use.....That is what resets ..supposed to change of course when you upplug but try it...wait a few minutes..look at how much time on battery then reboot...it the "time on battery" starts over..you have the issue
I thought that was the normal behavior on Android, it resets the battery stats on every boot because while it was offline it might have been put in a charger and thus the battery stats might not be correct (or you could have changed batteries).
I for one don't see the problem with battery stats reseting on reboot, i reboot very rarely and when i do i usually do it to install firmwares or patches.
On the other hand now I've found an article by one of the Android developers and there it says :
This file (batterystats.bin found in data/system) is used to maintain, across reboots, low-level data about the kinds of operations the device and your apps are doing between battery changes. That is, it is solely used to compute the blame for battery usage shown in the "Battery Use" UI in settings.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So, it says "across reboots" so it shouldn't be reset by a reboot, that means that i thought wrong that the file is reset on each reboot
P.S. maybe the ROM that's on the phone does something that either deletes the file or forces a reset on the battery stats.
Try changing/setting permissions (through that option for permissions, can't recall the exact wordings) in CWM and see if that helps.

[Q] Battery Stuck at 100% for an hour, shuts off at 20%

Hey guys, i've seen some other threads about batteries being stuck at 100% but they were generally with rooted devices so i figured i'd make one here.
The Problem
My infinity will charge fine, usually 1% per minute and when discharging going from 100% to 35% in about 5 hours screen on time, mainly using web apps, no real gaming, maybe dead trigger for 20 mins per charge. However when i take my tab off the charger it will stay at 100% for over 45 mins, and most recently over 1h 20m, causing the battery reading to be way off. Today it randomly shut down claiming i had 20% left.
Does anyone have any ideas? Like i said device is non-rooted and i dont have much interest in rooting it. Problem started just before we got the Jelly Bean update, and i got the tab in mid august, so it was working fine for a couple months.
The next logical step would be to factory reset and contact asus if that doesn't solve anything. I was hoping to avoid that if you guys had any tips or tricks.
Thanks
My TF700T has just started doing this. So your not the only one. I've only just started to search around for a solution.

I suggest you make a backup then do a a factory reset (twice). After that check to make sure this issue is gone, before re install any apps. If this doesn't resolved the issue, you need to reflash the full Asus firmware. This eliminated your software issue, and the last 1% chance is your hardware.(but very rare).

I've done as you suggested. Including factory reseting the tablet twice.
I've had the tablet off the charger for 14 hours and 28 minutes. And it's still showing 100%...
Worth noting: It was fully charged with the dock this morning. I've taken the tablet off the dock and used it for the day and it's still 100%
Anyone else got any other suggestions?
Same problem here, started two days ago, the transformer shuts down at ˜33-35%. Installed battery monitor app and it reports ˜500mAh still availble just prior to the shutting down. After it shuts down it's dead until I plugg it the power chord, it charges to 100% but then the same story again, shutting down at 33-35% remaining battery left. I've tried the battery calibration app which deletes the batterystats.bin file but that didn't do anything. Also tried three factory resets without any success... I'm on stock ROM but rooted.
Any ideas to what to try now? Or should I wait for the next firmware upgrade and see if the reflashing of the firmware will resolve this?
How do I reflash the installed firmware version, want to try that next...

Everything in power saver settings is left default, 15%. But the transformer never reaches that level..
Oh, and I also have the same behaivor as the orginator of this thread, the battery shows 100% for good while after a full charge until it stops dropping, forgot to mention that. My tablet is four month old and this just started... Unfortunaltey is feels like a HW issue with the battery reporting the wrong remaining charge to the OS... But I will wait for a new firmware to see if a reflash resets the battery configuration somehow.

Try to poweroff your device and let it stay down for 1/2 hrs, then power it back on see if that resolved your issue.
You need to recalibrate the battery.

This is what I did. except I left it plugged in over night, then unplugged it, turned it on and it is back to normal.

I tried this to no avail. Worth noting the device was off for about 5 hours when the battery went flat. I've also tried turning it off and charging it.
I have a TF700 on a TF300 dock, and I have found that if I unplug the tablet from the dock, while the dock is plugged into the wall, it stays at that battery level until I plug it back into the keyboard. Deleting batterystats.bin, turning it off, waiting long enough for it to get to 8.4V, and then doing a cold boot seems to fix it.

Battery won't charge beyond 38%

I've been having this problem for the past 4 days, my Nexus S won't charge beyond 38%. I was due for a battery replacement, I got that today, and even that wouldn't charge beyond 38%, after reaching 38%, it says charged. Please help
A friend of mine had the same issue with his galaxy Nexus.
I am not sure if he did what i him worked. He never said anything to me.
1. Use your phone until it dries out and shut down on its own.
2. Start it up to make sure that it immediately shut downs from the lag of juice.
3. Plug in the phone, when it is off and let it charge to 100% ( do not start the phone until then )
4. Repeat the same proccess once more.
This might help set the battery stats that you have for your old battery that are saved on your droid.
If you are rooted it might help to cleat the battery statistics as well.
I'll try it tonight and post back

Your battery is gone. Order a replacement from shopcules.com
Sent from my P5100 Samsung Galaxy Note 8
I did get a new battery, still gives the same problem. And for some reason I'm not able to keep the phone off, every time I do that it just switches back on.

Couldn't get the phone to charge in off state, kept switching back on, and reached the same percentage and stopped charging. Also used battery calibrator app to clean the battery stats. :/
