Decreased battery life since Android 11 installed?

[jnelsoninjax]

Has anyone else noticed that the battery life seems to be decreased since the newest update? I have noticed that the battery seems to run down faster now then it did with the previous version. Is it me or is it decreased?

No.  Working fine for me and have not noticed a difference.

I have noticed it on my Pixel 3A, and my Niece has a Pixel 2, and her phone doesn't last the whole day, now that may have something to do with what she has installed, but I don't let things run in the background on my phone.

Hello,

 

No difference noticed on my two relatively recently (1-2 years old) devices, however, if your device manufacturer was doing CPU throttling similar to Apple on their iPhones in order to improve battery runtime, they may have removed that functionality.  That is just a guess, of course.

My device is a Google Pixel, so I don't think that they are doing throttling.

I have the 4XL and my mom has the 3.  Both are fine.  Can always try a factory reset and see if that helps.  I have had to do that sometimes after a OS version update to address some issues.  Then installing apps one by one to see if one of them causes the issue.

 

Seeing reports that removing the Tunein Radio app fixed some users issue.  Not sure if that have that installed.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have the 3A XL, and do not have the Tunein Radio, but I might get bored and do a reset and go from there!

Could be another app causing the issue as well.   Reset may or may not help but couldn't hurt.  Does not seem to me affecting all phones of the same model tho.  Prob a software fix that hopefully will come soon
