I was looking at this chart in AccuBattery and this dip looks rather strange. It does not look like normal battery wear. Did we get nerfed by the July update like the a-series with bad batteries? What's your graph look like, if you use AccuBattery or equivalent?
Google rolled out some battery changes recently to prevent lithium explosion s/malfunction. Not sure if the 8 is affected but yeah the a series was part of that and a couple of other models.
Prevent, or create? Lol. Nothing sells new phones like current ones melting.
Reduce the risk. Melting and exploding phones might sell new ones, but for your competitors. And if shown to be intentional, that's a slam-dunk lawsuit.
Your not wrong! Mine was one of them....
I would never buy a Google branded phone just honestly I know there’s ease of use and supposedly some of them are the most compatible with custom ROMs but really… they’re Google. They are not not evil.
PSA This data correlates almost exactly with my battery stats before I realized the very dangerous battery swelling up like a balloon under the screen.
I'm very not observant and didn't notice any physical difference until the screen fell plum off the chassis
My Samsung note 4 did that with every single replacement battery. Super annoying
I'm at the point where I'm no longer interested in better battery longevity --we gonna need safety ratings like vehicles at this trend
Replaceable batteries solve pretty much all the battery issues where they blow up, it's caused by minimising the battery clearances so there's no healthy breathing/expansion room
For what it's worth, that app can't access battery management stats at the system level. It just estimates based on factory specs and basic battery telemetry accessible to userspace apps like charge percent. The app power usage stats the OS provides is heavily flawed at the OS level, not all power consumption like modem behavior is captured accurately or at all.
So, tl;dr, just guesses and is of very limited usefulness. It does increase battery consumption slightly though, which... doesn't really help.
Don't have accubattery, but I also run GrapheneOS and haven't noticed a drop.
Either Android fuckery or your battery is simply slowly running it's lifecycle.
Here's mine from Accubattery, running Graphene on Pixel 8 Pro
Pixel 7 pro here, no change in battery life/drain.
Yes! I'm suddenly needing mid-day charges.
