On Pixel 8 Pro, have you noticed a dip in battery capacity since July?

a year ago by lightrush to c/android

I was looking at this chart in AccuBattery and this dip looks rather strange. It does not look like normal battery wear. Did we get nerfed by the July update like the a-series with bad batteries? What's your graph look like, if you use AccuBattery or equivalent?

Google rolled out some battery changes recently to prevent lithium explosion s/malfunction. Not sure if the 8 is affected but yeah the a series was part of that and a couple of other models.

Prevent, or create? Lol. Nothing sells new phones like current ones melting.

Reduce the risk. Melting and exploding phones might sell new ones, but for your competitors. And if shown to be intentional, that's a slam-dunk lawsuit.

I would never buy a Google branded phone just honestly I know there’s ease of use and supposedly some of them are the most compatible with custom ROMs but really… they’re Google. They are not not evil.

PSA This data correlates almost exactly with my battery stats before I realized the very dangerous battery swelling up like a balloon under the screen.

I'm very not observant and didn't notice any physical difference until the screen fell plum off the chassis

Good call. Measured the flatness of the screen and back glass. Both are perfectly flat. If there's any swelling going on, it hasn't pressed against them yet.

FailBetter 4 points a year ago

Good deal. Hope I didn't frighten ya too much. :D I was also told that you should be able to feel the pressure against the screen before seeing a visible difference too. (I'm still a little peeved I didn't get more of a warning from the makers of my device, but that's life)

My Samsung note 4 did that with every single replacement battery. Super annoying

I'm at the point where I'm no longer interested in better battery longevity --we gonna need safety ratings like vehicles at this trend

ryannathans 2 points a year ago

Replaceable batteries solve pretty much all the battery issues where they blow up, it's caused by minimising the battery clearances so there's no healthy breathing/expansion room

I haven't noticed yet, but I will install Accubattery as soon as possible.

Awesome. Let me know what your battery capacity looks like when you had a few charge sessions.

Yes! I'm suddenly needing mid-day charges.

Assuming you're on an 8 Pro, install AccuBattery and clock its capacity over a week.

I'm on the base model currently, so not sure how it would compare.

lightrush 5 points a year ago

It's no more than 1.5 year-old. If you see its capacity at 90-92, then something's wrong. If it's over 95% it might be normal.

Don't have accubattery, but I also run GrapheneOS and haven't noticed a drop.

Either Android fuckery or your battery is simply slowly running it's lifecycle.

lightrush 4 points a year ago

Yeah but a drop like that isn't nornal wear. And this battery is barely a 1.5 years old. A 5% dip in the span of a few weeks is either a defect or something else. If it's a software "adjustment," it should show up on other Pixel 8 Pro capacity estimates too. Given most are less than 1.5 year-old, most should have over 95% capacity left.

Same, but I did notice I get less battery / a dying phone over the last couple of weeks.

On a Pixel 9 Pro. Battery is definitely draining quicker.

Interesting... This was right about the time that I started getting pop-up messages on my phone about pre-ordering the Pixel 10 Pro and getting $450 off. Coincidence? 🤔

I don't know if it's a coincidence but I did notice it on my Pixel 8 Pro! The interesting thing is that I'm running Graphene OS, not stock
