    I’ve got a pixel 7a. Disabled all trackers, custom launcher, with heavy use I get over 24 hours even using 5g.

      I’ve got a pixel 7a, and it lasts me a 10 hour shift at work with Spotify playing constantly. Which is all I need it to do.

      Hard to believe with stock. Share a screenshot

        It’s not stock, I have a custom launcher (Nova) and DuckDuckGo browser installed which blocks all trackers in other apps (tracking is pretty egregious in this phone and without tracking blocking I wouldn’t recommend it)

            I have a Pixel 7 running Nova, not got the DDG browser, but 24 hours is a fantasy. I plug in twice a day, bare minimum. BARE minimum.

              Yeah, 24 hours of SoT is impossible with Pixel 7 series. I mean, the idle drain alone will kill my 7a in 48 hours, and any amount of active use will just make it worse.

              This is after two days of sporadically checking email and taking a few photos (about 40 total, no video) on stock Android 14: 1000012269

              Try blocking trackers. You will be surprised at how much of a difference it makes to battery life, and horrified at how much you’re being tracked.

              Yesterday I was at 50% after 24 hours, though admittedly not the heaviest use in the last 24 hrs.

                  You might find the occasional app that it ‘breaks’ (which you can then disable for) but generally everything works as intended. Apps I’ve disabled blocking for are:

                  • firefox
                  • google play store
                  • home
                  • signal
                  • banking / credit card
