My Pixel 2 has been experiencing severe standby battery drain (last night it went from 95-30 while I slept), and I'm pretty sure it's one of my apps' faults since it doesn't happen when I reboot the phone in Safe Mode. So now I'm trying to restrict most of my apps from using battery in the background, but it's a huge pain going through 50+ app battery usage pages to toggle their "Background Restriction" property. There's a page to disable app battery restrictions in Settings > Battery > Adaptive Battery > Restricted Apps, but there's no way to add apps to that list. Is there a mass app battery management settings page/developer option I'm missing, or maybe an app that provides this functionality?
Hey did you find any answer to this?

is there a way root or not, to show how much battery is used per app (by unplug)...spare parts only shows ms of open and open count by app...im trying to determine which of my apps is sucking down the most battery life when even not being used (background battery used)
What about in the "battery use" page? From main screen --> menu --> settings --> about phone --> battery --> battery use
I was going to suggest that ^ or the app system panel
In checking my Settings /Data Usage I noticed that app usage have data for "foreground" and "background".
foreground is obvious, but what is the background usage? Can background be stopped?
Go to settings-Data Usage.. Click on the 3 dots on the top right of the screen and select "Restrict Background Data"..
Hi,
Background data usage, for me it's what is used for and from the OS, I mean not data used by the user when browsing for example. Checking for update, synchro for example could be related to that for the apps (System apps too).
For restrict it, check your synchro, use Wi-Fi.
EDIT: and... I wanted to add what vin4yak has already said, but too late
Hi, I'm used to using Internet Speed Meter. It's a fine application which displays a floating widget with inetrnet speed.
But the widget often hides. I realized that it hides always when I made a call but I'm not sure if it hides also with no action from my side. I'm using Call recorder too but disabling didn't help.
Any suggestions how prevent application on background to stop? I had enabled notification, it didn'd help.

I use network monitor mini and I have no problem. But you must take care of the Doze mode from Google and the Galaxy built in battery optimization (which I disabled).
For Doze mode go to the battery settings and turn off doze for your app specifically.
Doze mode turns off every application communication and tasks after your phone is stationary for about 30 minutes I think. It opens a maintenance window every few minutes to applications do what they have to do and then turn apps off again.
It is a good approach to save battery, but it has drawbacks. So, turn off doze for every application that you need to keep it running every single minute.

I'm keep getting notification about Nod32 using battery in background even after setting off this notification in the app's setting. What should I do? Its quite annoying that this notification cannot be deleted.

You go to the Apps settings, click on show system processes and click on Android System. Then go to notifications in that menu and find apps using battery or whatever it's called. There you can disable it.
Did you try clicking on the notification?
I have the same notification for weather app using battery which I can't delete by swiping left or right, but when I click on it, it disappears.
When I click on it the settings comes up which you see if you go to settings>apps>nod32. There is the option about battery usage but I already disabled the notification about battery usage.
Hello all,
I've got a newspaper app installed and I did the following in terms of permissions:
- Application data usage - Disabled "Allow background data usage"
- Battery - Disabled "Allow background activity"
- Battery - Enabled "Optimise battery usage"
The still sends me news notifications. Not a lot but enough to concern me that despite my restricting its background activities, the app is still able to check for news and send me notifications. I know I can disable the app notifications but that just means that I won't see them. It doesn't mean that the app will not be able to run in the background and continue to access the internet despite my explicit restrictions.
Am I misunderstanding something here? Please advise.

When did the app send you notifications? Just when you open it, or after you had cleared it from memory?
I open it to read the papers in the morning. Then I close the app and swipe it out from the recent apps menu
