Google Pixel 5

Yeah, I think I did have it installed, but I think I did remove it. I can't remember how far in I removed it mind... This morning will be a good test. Run to the gym, listening to music all the way, tracking sets and reps, it usually takes a good 20-30% out of my Pixel 4, so we'll see how the 5 copes now.

Based on my usage I'd be surprised if you dented it much over 15%

Battery life on this phone is a joy.

Got my claim confirmation this morning.

Uninstall tune in if you have got it as its gone rogue

Yeah I noticed it started doing weird stuff on my 4XL too, persistent notifications etc. Replaced it with Radioplayer.

I've just downloaded the pixel 5 wallpapers onto my 2xl so I can at least pretend to have one now

Would be I disappointed with the pixel camera if I move from P20 pro?

In terms of results, nope. Perhaps in terms of zoom.

Agree, so far the speakers are the biggest disappointment for me so far. Switched from S10+ which is crazy loud compared to P5 speakers. But don't use the speakers much and use headphones 99% of the time.

Yeah same here. Actually really liking the P5 the more I use it. Speakers and screen aren't as good as the S10+ but everything else is better or doesn't matter.

So the black one was back in stock earlier, I ordered it. Estimated delivery on the 17th and I got in just before the headphone deal expires.

Still never had a confirmation yet.

I feel like I'm the only person who gets bad battery life on this phone

Down to 20% with 3 hours screen on time today. When I use it battery lasts ages but I'm getting awful standby drain

Got mine today.

Battery definitely seems better after the reset. Things got disrupted yesterday and my routine had to change, so I didn't get a good comparison, but I think my jog to the gym and then home was around 18%, so much better. I've taken it off charge at 3:30am this morning and four hours later it's on 99% (granted, SoT is 0), which is a huge step up for any Android tbh, which has always suffered with battery loss even with the screen off.

I was getting battery like that, I've factory reset and it seems a lot better. Maybe reset and start over?

Got the text in this morning to confirm the claim was validated, ironically the promotion confirmation emails went to my spam folder in Gmail :rolleyes:

Quite right, 1% with 4 hours idle is mighty impressive. It's probably the one thing I dislike about Samsungs and something I've encountered yet again with my FE. I could easily lose 7-10% overnight - and I have the SD version. My 7T Pro would just sip power overnight, never more than 3% usually.
I'm assuming your AOD was on?

I have actually tried this once and didn't even restore any apps other than what comes pre loaded.

If I stick it in airplane mode and have WiFi/Bluetooth only its way better. 3 hours off charge this morning and 1 hour SOT and down to 93%

I would normally assume poor signal but I'm getting between 3/4 bars (assuming 4 is full)

just to check, tune in radio isn't installed?
