My #DeGoogled#Pixel 7, which has such heroic battery life, went from 61% battery to 45% battery overnight, even though it was on battery saver mode.
Usually pixels will only drop a handful of percentage points overnight while on battery saver.
My phone regularly gives me two days of battery life, unlike my old Pixel 4a 5G, which was usually down to 20% by the end of the day.
#PSA: Don't let your phone's battery get below 20% if you want to daily-drive it for a long time.
@RL_Dane Meh. The percentages shown by various devices is surprisingly arbitrary. What you really want to know is the cell voltage, but that’s not generally accessible. 80/20 is a good rule, but not much point being religious about it.
Yeah, that is a problem with apps not relying on GSF or MicroG for notifications. They'll just keep polling.
There are times where I've had to install the Google Play version instead, just to get reliable and power-efficient notifications. Telegram was a great example of this, when I was still on that platform.
Alternately, you can just disable notifications on those apps. I'm enough of a dopamine junkie on #fedi as it is. XD
I know that fedilab doesn't background-poll, though. It looks for some kind of push notification service provider, and if it doesn't see one, it'll just give you a warning and grab notifications when you have it open.
