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?

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

    • New PowerToys update fixes memory leaks and other issues

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      New PowerToys update fixes memory leaks and other issues by Taras Buria Another bug-fixing update is available for PowerToys version 0.100. After releasing version 0.100.1 with a bunch of bug fixes and patches, Microsoft pushed version 0.100.2 to address two important issues with one of Command Palette Dock's features. With PowerToys 0.100.2, Microsoft fixed the performance meter displaying incorrect values and memory leaks, which are particularly unwanted things in the current situation with overpriced PC hardware. Here is the changelog: Reverted a Performance Monitor dock refresh change that forced item refreshes on every metric update Fixed a memory leak in the Performance Monitor dock extension by reusing stable network upload/download band items instead of creating new list items on each refresh For those unfamiliar, Command Palette Dock is a relatively new addition to PowerToys. It is a taskbar-like tool that you can keep on top of the screen to pin various useful widgets, commands, and more. It can display time, weather, your PC's performance metrics, and more. Microsoft introduced the Command Palette Dock in March 2026 in PowerToys 0.98. Microsoft has dedicated documentation for Command Palette Dock, and you can check it out on the official Microsoft Learn website. You can update PowerToys to the latest version by going to Settings > General and clicking "Check for updates." Alternatively, you can download the installer from GitHub using this link. In other news, Microsoft is working on a new window-management utility for PowerToys. Called Alt Window Cycle, it will let you use the Alt + ` shortcut to switch between different windows in a single app. You can learn more about the tool here.

      You did take leaf out of Trumps book already and had brexit - only to harm yourself. The same goes with this AI nonsense. The obvious solution for these companies is to move their head office to Brussels. I can see quite much irony there... 🙂

      Wonder if they are trying to slow down Linux traction (not saying this is the only factor) in the consumer space. With the most pressure probably being steam deck/box, etc.
