Google Pixel Phones 2016

Charge it normally instead of doing deep cycles.

And before the next "battery calibration" myth comes... requote and old comment by a Google Engineer that debunked this.

Today's myth debunking:

"The battery indicator in the status/notification bar is a reflection of the batterystats.bin file in the data/system/ directory."

No, it does not.

This file is used to maintain, across reboots, low-level data about the kinds of operations the device and your apps are doing between battery changes. That is, it is solely used to compute the blame for battery usage shown in the "Battery Use" UI in settings.

That is, it has deeply significant things like "app X held a wake lock for 2 minutes" and "the screen was on at 60% brightness for 10 minutes."

It has no impact on the current battery level shown to you.

It has no impact on your battery life.


Deleting it is not going to do anything to make your more device more fantastic and wonderful... well, unless you have some deep hatred for seeing anything shown in the battery usage UI. And anyway, it is reset every time you unplug from power with a relatively full charge (thus why the battery usage UI data resets at that point), so this would be a much easier way to make it go away.

I observed this on pixel. When the batt level is less than 10%, the phone will slow down. Especially using fingerprint to unlock.

So.. Having battery saving mode activate at 5% not such a good idea then?

Nope, always keeping lithium battery below 20% is not healthy. The same case for having the battery at always 100%. Best range is 20%-80%.

"Previously" when police wore shorts.

Obviously you never thought of the possibility of the battery gets bloated due too much stress put into it, before you even ask for care. With non-removable batt phones, this may not be as apparent as phones with removable batt.

If u RTFM included with the Pixel, it is stated that:
1. You can charge as much or as little as you like, as and when you like
2. You do not need to teach the Pixel phone anything in regards to battery charging

So, do you prefer to listen to official Google source, or you prefer to listen to other's Tiagong is up to you lor

im impressed with the LTE connection of this phone... i can still open my clash of clans even inside the train.. tunnel.. redline.
i can still browse and chat without disconnecting..

i cant do this on my iphone...

no audio stuttering while on my Bose BT headset as well..
(im not sure if Bose have issues with iOS ..in android my bluetooth connection is more stable)

overall happy camper here.

Read plenty of issues from what I assume are NA sets on other Pixel forums.

Is it because of Power Saving mode..?

I second that, the LTE signal is better than my IP6
but i have issue with the battery, my ip6 seem to last longer than my pixel idk why

mine is pixel small

Didn't on power saving mode. When batt is very low, maybe less than 10%, the phone will slow down but after connect to charger, everything goes back to normal.

Article on decoding HTC serial. Mine from FA factory made on 25 Oct. So far no real issues except for some app crash and software issues.

LTE radio is good but 5GHz WiFi range is slightly underwhelming to my Google Onhub while other devices are ok.

Should still be able to use it, at least I can on my N6P till it's auto-shutdown.

 

[jt2901]

Batt was 40℅ when this happened.. sigh.. now got so used to the fingerprint unlock that it's super irritating to unlock with pin

 

[jt2901]

Rebooted, turned off for 2 hrs, still no use
