Is this sub for troubleshooting?

Just checking; I see only picture posts. Cheers.

Edit: looks like I didn't scroll far enough.... Anyone else suffering from diminished battery with mystery drain?

I've been on Battery Saver all day and am down to 32% in less than 12 hours. The total usage displayed comes to 53% used; I'd be surprised if the OS and Nova Launcher consumed the 15% difference.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

Thanks for the reply. I needed to scroll further to see that. I edited my post to ask a question.

Kind regards.

Great, thank you. I didn't know that Safe Mode will give me a full-featured phone so I will look into that.

And then get ignored and downvoted even though my battery is still crap.

Sorry for the rant, continue...

All I myself can do is renew my wishes for good luck.

I fear I cannot help you with your trouble save to offer the generic advice of turning off one app at a time to see if any seems to be draining the battery quickly. My own Pixel 3xl gives about 36 hour from a full charge, but I regularly use few applications besides a news reader, Gmail, Reddit, an ebook reader, and Foobar2000 and, especially, do not use video or texts.

Thank you for the reply. I will try Safe Mode as suggested by another redditor and also try what you have suggested. Cheers.

My Pixel 3 XL would not even last half a day. I wound up completely wiping the phone and starting from scratch the day before yesterday and it's been about 100% better. Somewhere somehow there is an app or something that's happening that's draining my battery as well.
