I recently got a new phone and the battery life doubled once I disabled all the default permissions on google apps. I knew they were consuming battery but that's a lot.
- alok-g 6y agoCan you please share more details. I would like to replicate.
- green7ea 6y agoIf you could replicate that would be very interesting since a single datapoint doesn't say much. Brand new oneplus 8T and I was getting ~1 day of battery life with about 3-4 hours of use. I never enabled any google services and that was the default configuration. I went app permissions and disabled everything that I was able to disable. The only apps that had default permissions always enabled were google services. The battery day is now ~2 days with slightly heavier use and the display running at 120Hz instead of the default 60Hz.
- londons_explore 6y agoThe pixel devices last at least 28 days on battery when all default services are enabled, the phone is connected to 4g and WiFi, and is otherwise idle (including no emails received). To achieve this, you need a mobile network supporting the standards allowing it to sleep for X number of beacon frames. There are also some things the mobile network needs to support. The minute you install any apps, or start syncing any changing data, that 28 days goes down to 1 or 2 days...
