Before Poco X3 Pro, I had a Xiaomi Mi 6 for 4 years, in the last 2 years, I use customs ROMs.
Nowadays, I´m pretty disappointed with some sloppy scrolling with simple apps, like google news, Chrome and even the notifications bar (all but the google news are only noticeable on 120hz). Also, the battery is ends quicker than I expected.
So, for those in custom rom, the battery life got better? What about the overall smoothness? What ROM are you using?
Also, can I use only 90hz in some ROM?
the only thing keeping me away of custom ROMs is the fact that I just got the phone about 2 weeks ago.
Clear system cache.
If it runs better at 90hz, use that.
Lol, I'm still at 60hz
AOSP ROMS handles 120/90hz more better than MIUI

I've had the phone for a week and unlocked and flashed as soon as I could. I flashed ArrowOS, it's very easy to do.
The first few weeks of owning the Poco X3 Pro was a struggle for me, it's my first time using a high refresh rate screen and I didn't know it would half my total on-screen time if I used that feature.

use PPUI room ,has 60hz/90hz/120hz and grate battery life
I'm basically stuck at 60hz refresh rate as 120hz sucks away too much battery juice. I've known that this would be an issue before I bought the X3 Pro, but I never knew it would be sooooooooooooooooooooooo terrible as this way. Even leaving wifi and data off in the evening before sleeping, idle state would eat away a good 5 to 8% of the battery.

Hello,
I've sold my S7 and bought a Pixel phone because of updates and design. It is very elegant phone and very very fast. But I've got a problem, battery life sucks seriously.
Here's some screenshots.
Because it is a new Pixel, don't think there is a faulty. I did Geekbench 4 battery benchmark and got 1700-2000 points and got over 162k Antutu.
Is it normal? Should I roll back to Nougat? Or else I will send it back and Pixel XL. I cannot afford Pixel 2 or Pixel 2 XL.
Rolling back to Nougat will do nothing good. Did you buy a new Pixel or an used one?
Same here. Bought a used Pixel 128 GB model last week that provides only 3 hours of SOT with normal usage (browsing, music, videos).
It's on Oreo 8.1 with latest security patch and NFC, location turned off. Still no good.
Excluding gaming, for chrome browsing, reddit, YouTube and Instagram plus a few other misc apps, I get approximately 3.5 hours on data and 4+ on wifi. Rma brand new set from Oct 17.
SD 820 is not really known for its battery efficiency vs the 835.

Your first 5 apps listed are using about 50% of your battery. On my pixel XL I could easily get 8 sot if I wanted. You should look for ways to reduce battery useage, like battery optimization and limiting power to apps not in use. What does the acc battery app say your battery health is? My battery preformed better after installed dp2, but was very good before installing dp2, it just got better.
I've got 100% battery health. Now I get 3-4 SOT, 10-14 hours standby. It is not the best, but it's ok.
How can you limit power to apps not in use? You mean deactivating background process? I did that already.

That doesn't sound particularly bad. I normally end a day on about 20-30% with 3 hours of screen time or so. I know it's a bit of a cliche, but it really is hard to compare two setups like for like. Even SOT is not a great measure because if you watch a 2 hour downloaded movie on Netflix with low screen brightness (for example) that will consume A LOT less power than playing a game or browsing the web for 2 hours... but both will just show on battery stats the same. Let's not get into whether you are a user of Google location services (for things like Google fit or Assistant etc), or streaming Podcasts over bluetooth...
Some people have already reported better battery life on Android P - though I take that with a slight pinch of salt as every Android release supposedly did that already.
So 2 weeks with the phone. I absolutely love it, except for this huge problem. Is this normal??:
- It gets very overheated quickly, specially with camera or videocalls.
- Battery life is the worst one I have ever experienced. It will go from 100% to 15% in around 8h with 2,5h SOT. It's insane. Exact same setup with pixel 2 XL, lasts double
Do you think might be a damaged device? I tried ofc clean flash. Both Android 9 and 10 beta. Same issue...
Thank you
I've been having pretty bad battery life myself. Average of 3 to 3.5hrs SoT. Usually need a pick up charge during the day before bed.
Really annoyed cuz I love this phone. I've been trying out OnePlus 7 Pro and S10+. Don't like Samsung, used to love them, but I just hate that UI and their apps they push on you. OnePlus is amazing in terms of everything but the camera, and that is a big thing for me. OnePlus 7 Pro has been really great in performance, battery, everything, but the camera which is pretty mediocre.
I'm returning my OP7 Pro and going back to my Pixel 3. While I love the speed and smoothness of the 7 Pro, the camera is really bad. Too bad to compromise. Returning it and going back to my pixel 3 which also suffers crappy battery, but the camera is still the best
Yeah the battery life is mediocre, you would think they would have added some kernel profiling for such. Pubg eats battery when I play it and it gets so hot it's rather concerning. But on the plus side, it makes my wife put her phone down when she's riding on empty.
I might not be a power user but I get solid 5h SOT with DP3. Sometimes I can reach 6h SOT.
Standy by is around 14-16h, so it last a day.
As I am using DP3, I dont have any custom kernel not even root.
Signal at home sucks, I use wifi. But leaving home gives me the same result. If I stay in a place with good signal I can get even more.
Exactly the same issues I'm having. Overheating might usage and battery drain is horrendous.
Used the s10e with the same issues unfortunately. So went back to the pixel 3 knowing these compromises.
I think you may have a wakelock issue or a bad battery. I am running q beta 3 and still am at ~50 % after 11 hours

Do you think the pixel 3 is a good value phone today ?
I can have pixel 3 black in 128go for 400 € so I'm hesitating .....
Did the lasts updates improved battery life ?
Or it is more efficient to change the kernel to improve battery life ?
Thanks for your advices ?
Well after some days I have to say battery improved. It's not dramatic now but still being very weak. I changed location so maybe it's related to signal
For me now the dramatic point is the heating. There must be a bug or something, when you use front camera. It gets extremely hot. Videocalls are totally awful then

I think the phone is great in all other aspects. I am currently on Android Q beta 3 and the issues are the same from the time of purchase last October.
Regarding using custom kernels, I'm not into unlocking my phones and rooting nowadays so can't help you in that.
However if you are not into heavy gaming or editing, I've heard the 3a lineup performs better in regards to battery life. Might want to check them out before you decide.
I've been with beta for a while. Battery sucks but no overheating. This is the same with the official pie firmware.
I just got used to this and to be honest this happens with previous pixels.
It's an Android feature ?
I'm loving the size, camera and future navigation gesture.
I'm looking at the pixel 4a as a replacement for my Huawei Mate 10 Pro.... my main usage is photos, whatsapp, instagram, youtube, email - no gaming.
Wondering if this is even worthwhile? Will I be disappointed with battery life?
If the Mate 10 battery life was anything like the Mate 9 (which I had before the 3a) then you might be disappointed with battery life. I could usually get about 36 to 48 hours of battery out of that thing. But the 4a is somewhat better than the 3a. Your usage sounds similar to mine. I can get around 20 hours on the 4a currently. I have A11 on it also and that might be helping matters.

Should be fine with that. I can almost squeeze 2 days out of mine. I use mine similar to yours. It's no xperia phone but they did pretty good with battery on this one.
The other day, I went to bed with 6 hours screen on time, and it had 22% remaining. I don't know about your old phone, but this is significantly better than my old lgv20. I have no complaint about the battery.
My last was M10Pro. P4a getting daily 7hr SOT with 50% at bedtime. Obvious differences but battery is better on P4a for my usage.

Thanks, some decent replies - specifically is there anything else moving from the M10Pro you'd say was a big pro/con?
Mostly screen and device size, both are pro for me on P4a but that's a personal determination.

Yes, I think I'd actually prefer a slightly smaller handset - I think my main concerns for moving away from M10P was if battery was going to be at least as good and I was hoping photo quality would be better. Also the added benefit of moving away from huawei to make sure I get clean android with plenty of guaranteed updates.
I think the only other thing worrying me a little are these recent reports of touch screen issues from people moving to A11.

Only if you install a screen protector. I never do and have had no issues with A11 touch sensitivity/accuracy.
Hi guys, I bought my P5 a month ago but I'm not very satisfied with it.
I mean, it's a fantastic smartphone but battery drain is very strange: when I have screen on it drains slowly but when I lock it, it drains faster.
Obv I tried to change every settings like 5G, 90Hz and also freeze some apps (pixel ambient services, digital wellbeing...) but didin't solved at all.
Now I'm on LOS 18 and seems to be a bit better, but I would ask you if you have seen big improvements using a different kernel.
Thank you, waiting for suggestions!
I've been on stock ROM and EX kernel for almost a year and my battery life is outstanding. I just had a stint where I went two full days without a charge. I do not have facebook or other known battery eaters on my phone, nor do I play games. I also set almost every app to battery restricted so they don't run in the background. But EX kernel is the real deal.

Absolutely agree with you.
After posting this, I tried ElementalX & stock rom for the first time and it's insane compared to stock rom & kernel.
LOS & EXKM is still the best combo but Gcam is a bit worse so I will keep stock with ElementalX.
Did you set something special in EXKM?
I appreciate a lot your answer, thank you
Well, every battery cicle for me is about 2 days with over 10 hours of total activity with podcasts and music and 2 to 4 hours of screen. That's stock, and never dipping below 35% or so.
The 5's battery life is quite good for this size just as a baseline.
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.
