When watching videos (not on YouTube), is the back button supposed to be there all the time? It's a bit annoying because it's already in full screen but it doesn't feel and look like full screen with the back button there.

Nope the back button is not supposed to be there. Try rebooting your phone to see if the issue still persists.

I was quite surprised at the battery for this run too. Was mostly on LTE throughout the day until I got home. Granted, usage was pretty light. No videos and no games.

Phone's entirely stock, with Location History and Ok Google Always On turned off.

I also have adaptive battery turned on and I basically restrict all the apps which notifications I don't care for (Facebook, all the utility apps, etc.)
Wow took your advice and started restricting apps and I'm getting similar

hmm what are the apps you restrict? any other examples?
turn off notifications as in? got a screenshot?

hmm Ok Google Always On I can understand switching off... but Location History is quite useful right?

This is my current list of restricted apps:

Basically restricting all the apps that I use infrequently (e.g. My StarHub, photo editing apps, speed test app, etc.) and those which notifications I don't care for (i.e. Facebook and games, etc.)

I used to have Ok Google Always On turned on, but after Google crippled it on the Pixel 3 phones, I don't see a point in having it turned on anymore.

As for Location History, I can see how it can be useful, but it's widely reported as being a serious battery drainer. To me, the pros just don't outweigh the cons in having it turned on. Why do you personally leave Location History on for?

has anyone used OLED Tools from playstore and noticed burned in image on their XL? specifically at the navigation pill area.

I just used the app and noticed that the image of the navigation bar is burned in on the OLED screen (or is it image retention?)

my set is barely 2 weeks old. :(
