April security patch released - Nokia 6 Guides, News, & Discussion

Yesterday got the April Security Patch for Nokia 6 (2017). Size 681 MB.
In my case the UI is snappier, apps start a bit faster and no more battery drain! Charged the phone to 100%, went to sleep and eight hours later had 98% left.
Been surfing extensively for hours, still got 50% left and going strong.

Nokia 6 ta1000?

How much battery "juice" is lost while idle overnight in your Mate 7?

Hello to all good Mate 7 users.
I had posted my case with massive battery drain in my Mate 7 L09. It discharging while idle.
My unit is second hand and I received it after the guy who sold it to me did a hard reset. I thought everything was ok till the morning (days ago) I picked
it up and saw that it had lost 45% in 10 hours and a half, from 100%!
So far I've tried B137 (not SP03 in name) and the stock build from Huawei's site, coming from the build B127SP02 (customized by the operator). (What does it mean SP03, btw?)
But, the problem persists. It's losing energy at a 3-4.5% per hour in idle state (all battery saving tips applied).
In PC Mark battery work benchmark scores 4 hours and 20 minutes. Not too bad, and I know I can possibly get 5 hours of SOT, (my G3 scores 5 hours 17 minutes:victory
but other people are getting at least 5 hours and 30 minutes in the benchmark, and more than 7 hours of SOT.
What can be so wrong? I have now flashed a previous build: B121SP05 in hopes to see an improvement.
One curious things is that after I flashed B127 (customized by operator) to B127 (Huawei's general version) the device has lost Motion Control features,
its page remains blank. Its lost, don't know why. Any ideas? It won't come back as I flashed B137 and now B121SP05.
But the one million dollar question is: How much battery is lost while idle overnight (or any long idle period)?
This is the real question, I think, because in all my tests, no matter the build version, I have got l least 5 hours of SOT (17 hours of use in total), which is not bad,
but most people get at least 7 hours SOT (in some 30+ hours) I guess I use it too frequently?
So, that would be the main problem and question, the lose of energy in idle state, and why does it happen to almost everyone in more or less amount.
What do you think?
Please, people, do try to answer (and the poll too) and tell all of us. Thank you!

Please participate!
Why is people looking and not even giving a simple click to the poll?
Come on!
It depends..
If I leave wifi on or more apps running it drains upto 5% but normally 2%
8 hours battery life! (PC Mark) Please participate!

Thank you for your reply. I hope more people would participate in the poll and sharing their experiences.
Btw. In PC Mark with latest B317 build I got 8 hours with 9 minutes of battery life in its Battery Work benchmark!
How is yours doing at it?
Before, with B127 and B137 my Mate 7 scored only a very low 4 hours and 30 minutes, and a highest of 5 hours 10 minutes. But in B317 it's getting consistent 8 hours!
What a pitty the baseband is not compatible for South American countries like mine, Peru. I have to downgrade so I can use telephony...

Pixel 2 battery drain fixed after march update??

My pixel 2's battery is getting drained rapidly after the Feb update, I tried resetting the phone and booting into Safe mode but those doesn't seem to work. After checking online, I found that several Pixel 2 users are reporting the same and even Google is investigating and trying to fix the battery drain issue..
Since the march update is released, Does anyone find the issue solved???
Just installed the update last night, have not messed with the phone since then. I was having issues with the Feb update as well. So far, with minimal use this morning, it is looking good.
I feel for you lot who had battery drain after the last update. My phone battery life literally has got better this last month. This was yesterday...
Mine started drinking from 100,% to zero overnight after the Feb update.
I've completely installed March's update only installing a few apps per day to make sure it's not a rouge app.
All good so far. Only losing 3% overnight (8 hours)

That's still a lot. I'm leaving WiFi on and it's only draining 1%. Maybe a full reset might help. But yeah, going slow on app installation is better for now.
Have just installed the march update. So far 15% drain with an hour and 15 minutes SOT. Definitely better than Feb, but not as good as Jan

I've not seen it < 2% since the Nexus 4 so i'm relatively happy with 3% in 8 hours.
I always say if I can get through the day from charge to charge then I'm happy.
If i travel and i'm using it more then I have a power bank.
The full discharge overnight was concerning but if I install the rest of my apps and its still at 3% then i'm going to stop messing with it and forget about it.
working much better

Just Brought a Pixel 1 need advice

Hello everyone
I just bought my first pixel it's a pixel 1 32GB
I'm upgrading from a Nexus 6 32GB
I love my Nexus 6 but after changing the battery once it was time to upgrade
What I wanted was some advice from people who've used this phone
I'm thinking of going right to the Android Q beta
But I do want to root the phone
I would also like to transfer most of my data over before I sell the Nexus 6
Thanks for the warm welcome in advance
Hello mate, the Q beta is usuable now but the new scoped storage can be make some apps misbehave when using the storage permissions. TWRP recovery can be booted or flashed, check the thread for install instructions or just fastboot boot it when needed.
For root use magisk, not sure if its working on Q beta 6 but check the magisk threads for details on that. Last thing, once you've unlocked the bootloader leave oem unlock unlocked and never relock the bootloader unless you are 100% full stock or you'll end up bricked (plenty of threads on this)
Hope that some help
I am use to using the Nexus tool kit what is alternative for a pixel
1. No need to go for Android Q right as it is still in beta.
2. You could follow guide from google on phone switch: https://support.google.com/android/answer/6193424?hl=en
Hope you enjoy your new phone!
I also got OG Pixel about a week ago. I jumped right into beta 5 and it was amazing. I was getting about 5 hours SOT. Now i am on beta 6. I upgraded as soon as it was available. I got MASSIVE battery drain. Google app was draining battery but i disabled it. Still i got about 3:40 SOT twice. Overnight on Beta 6 i am losing 6-8% when on Beta 5 i was losing 1-2%. Right now i reseted my OG Pixel and will test if it's fixed.
Thanks guys the Phone was shipped From Windsor today should reach my Home with in the next 10 days
Looking forward to Change from my Nexus 6 (best phone I ever owned ) but she's old slow now
Update Phone Came today at 8:30 AM I charged it and install My Apps and Android Q Beta
I am getting around 3 Hours on the Battery is this Normal ?
3 hours isn't unexpected for an OG Pixel with the original battery. They're 3 years old. They're still fine phones, but an $80 trip to ubreakifix might be in order. Batteries are only good for a couple of years. Planned obsolescence since they stopped putting user replaceable batteries in phones. Oddly, lots of people buy into the thin (hard to hold), no bezel (no drop protection and hard to hold), no audio jack (no real reason why not), no SD card (why let the user pay $30, when they can charge $100 for the same?), expensive (bragging rights) phones with a 2 year lifetime. Go figure.

3 Hours doing what? I noticed that when on LTE it drains battery on beta 6 even when you do not use mobile data and signal is strong. My nexus 5 does not do this. I hope they will fix this in final release.
I get around 4:30-5:00 SOT using LTE and manually switching to 2g when i do not need mobile data. WiFi about 40-50 minute gaming (on the way to work and back daily), youtube, browsing and messenger lite.
I also noticed that it drains battery overnight too much. About 5%. Still my nexus 5 on andorid 9 loses only 2% overnight and it has much worse battery (4 years old) and smaller capacity (2300 original but now i think no more then 1900 mah).
For example my Pixel is 2 years and 1 month old it was manufactured on 12 july 2017. Check your serial number in about phone -> model and hardware. First 2 letters show where was your device manufactured. Third digit is year 6 -> 2016 7->2017. Next digit is month 5-may, 6-june, next LETTER is day in english alphabet B->2. That's it.

Bit of slate reply but just go custom or flash GSI. I've just got a really blue OG pixel, needs a new battery but once that is done I'll be going custom/GSI route to exte d its life span.

Has anyone ever brought HSABAT FX30 3900mAh Battery

From AliExpress
https://m.aliexpress.com/item/32880098674.html?spm=a2g0n.seo-amp-detail.reviewList.0
IF so does it still perform well?
I ordered it a month and a half ago. I am still waiting for him to arrive in Bulgaria
Go for it!
I purchased this battery on November 02, 2018. But accu battery reports it's capacity around 3600mah for mine. So, been using it since 1 year and it still gives me 1½ day on normal usage. 5 to 6 hr SOT. Believe it or not. Check screen shot which is still when 46% battery left. I'm not a heavy user though. Just always on 4G, some nav, browsing & some full on music.
I always used to live with my finger plugged into a power socket before & never even dared to imagined my MXS could do such feat with this battery.

That's actually amazing I was barely getting 3 hours on mine. You could probably hit 7 hours on WiFi with light usage.

Hi sorry for late reply.
Just thought of updating one more time. So, I'm still getting 6 hrs of SOT on very lite usage though. My hands usually rest on my computer keyboard most of the time on any particular day and I use my phone more when I go out. But still I use it for a lot of voice calls when I'm home and some 4G for maps while I'm driving. It still shows more than 20% left when I reach home. Sometimes even I wonder as the battery still performs decent. I don't play any mobile games though.

Question Poor Battery

Got the pro delivered today. Ive noticed battery life is quite poor. Dropping 5-10% every 30 mins or so. Battery usage seems to suggest the google app is using about 25% of the battery. Usage is nothing over the top. Coming from a pixel 5 with excellent battery

Dude it's your first setup and install. Give it a day or two. Normal. I have used the 7 and 7 pro now for 3 weeks which is great.

Just try to charge it fully and use it for a few more days, also for new phones there will always be updates for battery issues!
Been using both 7 series for 3 weeks. Fingerprint is perfect. Hardly use it with face unlock though

OK...let's have it...how in the world have you been using the phone(s) for the last three weeks?
It's a 5nm(or 4nm) Samsung fab made SOC, it's going to have poor efficiency.

Because I work for a network in the UK. Only allowed to talk about them after launch
I'm not sure if others have issues with battery drain and I did see the article on display on the Pixel 7 Pro being a battery killer...but after using the phone for a few days now, I can confirm that the phone, software, all the fancy features are absolutely great but the battery sucks. This phone is a battery killer indeed. I'm monitoring with accubattery and trying greenify but no luck yet. I have even tried keeping the Smooth Display disabled/turned off (to prevent refresh rate being increased to 120 Hz) but the brain drain literally is insane. I am not an expert and I am not sure if more battery charge cycles, optimization through phone use etc will help over time either. I have tried restricting battery use for many apps as well and tried disabling background data for some apps - no luck on this one too. Hopefully the underlying cause can be fixed with some usual Google software patch magic...if not, it's going to a year of battery misery I guess. I'm curious to hear others experience and any suggestions. Thank you.
I am on the same page when it comes to battery... I have the 7 Pro and since 6PM last night it dropped to 38% with only 1h 45 min of SOT... That is never going to get close to even 3h of SOT.
It is on 1440p and 120hz but still, I don't think this is ok.
Mine is so much better than what my P6P was, yesterday i had 54% left after 17 hours off charge and playing with it given its a new toy, My P6P would have been down to 20%'ish.
I've lost 20% today (since 6.20am) but i have had Poweramp playing music for a couple of hours, i have been out and about taking photos and i made a 30 minute call.

Yeah, mine has been really good also. Really good idle drain and overnight it's in deep sleep around 97% of the time. Active drain has been good as well.
Mine seem to be be about on par with my P6P. Not great, but not horrible.
Compared to my poco f2 pro which only has a 4700mah battery the pixel 7 pro's battery life is pretty abysmal. I used to run twice the **** on that phone and it still didn't die as fast as the p7p. Hope a few firmware updates will get it to a better place. Turing off pick up and tap screen to wake made a little bit better but it's still abysmal imo.
For whatever it's worth, I've had mine (unlocked google / 512) since Thursday. Accubattery has been on since Friday when I rooted and started restoring apps . Just checking it and coming off a full charge overnight (trickle charge) it's estimating I have 11 hours of SOT, 62 hours screen off time. Since it was off the charger around 3 hours ago it's dropped 2% with 26 minutes of SOT.
To be fair I use my phone for email, texts, minor information/news gathering and music streaming and light photo/video recording without much running in the background so I'm not a high power user. YMMV
Weird. My experience is completely the opposite - 6 hours 23 minutes SOT with 21% remaining yesterday on my first full cycle when I put it back on charge. No complaints at all.
Did anyone with poor battery performance transfer apps to the new phone through cable? This has been bad for battery on new phones as ooposed to letting the new phone download the apps.....

The Pixel 7P and 6P I have here ran like total garbage when I transferred data between the two with a USB cable. A fresh install made both phones run great.
