That's pretty exciting. I have a pixel 6 pro and the battery life has been abysmal for a while. Like 50% battery after unplugged for 5-6 hours with minimal use. I've been trying to hunt battery draining apps but to no avail yet.
I'd already done every trick to try and maximise battery so perhaps my results are a little generous. Are you able to try the beta on 6 Pro? I recommend giving it a go.
I might try it out but I use my phone for important work stuff. So beta anything makes me a bit nervous.
Yeah I feel you. I do too but the battery felt like a liability so I took the plunge. You can read about the bugs before you do so but I haven't come across any. And you can pull out of the beta at the final release. You do need to clean wipe if you decide to pull out from the beta before then though.
Oof. Doing a clean wipe sounds awful with MFA and email and other work stuff I have on my phone. I think I might skip and just plug my phone in more often for now and hope for the best lol.
Yeah it scared me too. If you're happy already no harm sticking with the same. But if you do find it frustrating, it's a very mature beta and has worked flawlessly for me so far.
give me a 5-6 hour (preferably entirely idle/screen off) bbs dump and I'll tell you what's wrong; best guess is it's not ever going into doze at all
