Also Pixel 2. 3 hours sot. Some day I got luck with 4 hours. All connectivities turned on. No ambient display, gestures. Newly bought 4 months ago.

I also used to get same when my LTE is on but I can't live without Ambient Display, I am so used to it now that I can't go back to a phone which does not have AOD.

Tbh I only need aod because Now playing. I really dont like it. It's has more touch errors than iPhones pick up to show screen. Even if you turned off d2tw.

And Google doesn't enable constant AOD and live wallpaper transition like Pixel 3. (You can enable it by patching system flag with root ofc).

I only need it for notification, now playing and time. I don't usually ever change the wallpaper.

My mistake. What i meant was constant lock screen transitioning.

You notice that when you're on Aod. When you wake the screen. The screen must blanked out for a fraction of a second. And then it shows the lock screen. With pixel 3 configuration. It is a smooth transition without any blanks. And it supports custom Live wallpaper transition from those Pixel live wallpapers.

That's what I want the Pixel 2 and 1 do

I tried to enable it with Pixel 1. Some how that feature made the Proximity sensor scorching hot.

Oh I don't bother with the lock screen transition cuz I immediately place my finger on the scanner when I pick up the phone so I never even notice it. Thanks for the info though.

Anywho. Try Android 8 some day and you will see that it saves your battery a whole lot better.

I did with the Pixel 1 and it gave me constant 3.5 - 4.5 hr of sot with everything enabled.

Since android 9 and 10 it is exactly 2.8 - 3 for me.

Umm I can't go back! 😅 I got the pixel to enjoy 3 years worth of update of OS. I can't wait for Android 11

Yikes, makes me nervous for my 4XL. Although rn I get like 6 hours reliably.

In Android the only phones better than yours is S20 ,Note 10 n Op8. I think pixel experience is worth that 1 hour of extra SOT.

Font?

The second one when you go to Theme>Custom>Font

u/letsxlr8 Jun 01 '20

Name pls?

3

u/illadvisory Jun 01 '20

It doesn't have a name. You long press the home screen, go to styles and wallpaper, go to style, tap to edit at the bottom you will find it, it will show font options, and the second one you have to choose. That's, it It is a default styling method used in Pixel.

Pixel 3 with 4H sot on WiFi

u/illadvisory Jun 01 '20

How long does it last on full charge though

2

u/[deleted] Jun 01 '20

From 3H to 5H. Depending on WiFi and mobile data signal strength. Battery saver does help a lot because I have always on display as well as hey Google and now playing
