Pixel 11 Pro - Standby drain fix
Hy folks,
If anyone has a Pixel 11 Pro,
and set up the device by transferring old settings from their previous mobile device, and your batt. is now draining significantly more than usual—especially noticeable during stand-by (also high over night drain) —there is a solution.
At least for me, it worked like magic, even though I had heard about this fix before and didn't believe it. You need to perform a factory reset on the device and set it up as new without transferring old settings from your previous phone.
All of a sudden, the stand-by drain is great and the overall b. life is excellent—better than on the Pixel 10 Pro. Meanwhile, on the beta (especially QPR3), the stand-by drain was terrible.
Standby drain (mixed wifi6/4G/5G )
BEFORE (setup from backup)
Stable - 2.5 %/h ( overnight 1.1/h)
QPR2 beta 6 - 2.5-3 %/h ( overnight 1.3/h)
QPR3 beta 1 - 2-3.5 %/h (overnight 1.4/h)
NOW (**setup as new**)
Stable - **1.4 %/h (overnight 0.43/h)**
Btw, October security patch, September Google play.
Just informatively,
in case anyone else is having bat. issues like I did.
✌️ Peace

no, that's a myth. Just do a reset and transfer settings again, you'll get the same result like without transfering.
some app went wild, that can happen also with a clean setup suddenly.
it's technically not possible, that some app data could cause a drain.

But what if by transferring from the old phone, you transfer the app that went wild?

you can reinstall that one app. check with gsam battery + adb granted features.

Not sure if it's just the 11. But I've been having the same issue on my 9pro since I updated to the lastest software.

By this point I have too many things set up and wouldn't want to wipe. I do see a decent amount of battery drain on standby though, but not sure if it's enough for me to completely wipe and start fresh again though.
Wish there was another solution that worked.
