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?

This screenshot displays a battery health chart from the AccuBattery Pro app, showing the battery's capacity over time with a current health of 96% and a predicted capacity loss of 4.7% per year.

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.

    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

    Good call. Measured the flatness of the screen and back glass. Both are perfectly flat. If there's any swelling going on, it hasn't pressed against them yet.

  • Good deal. Hope I didn't frighten ya too much. :D I was also told that you should be able to feel the pressure against the screen before seeing a visible difference too. (I'm still a little peeved I didn't get more of a warning from the makers of my device, but that's life)

    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

    Isn't that the note that explodes?

    I haven't noticed yet, but I will install Accubattery as soon as possible.

    Assuming you're on an 8 Pro, install AccuBattery and clock its capacity over a week.

    Here's mine from Accubattery, running Graphene on Pixel 8 Pro

    On a Pixel 9 Pro. Battery is definitely draining quicker.

    Interesting... This was right about the time that I started getting pop-up messages on my phone about pre-ordering the Pixel 10 Pro and getting $450 off. Coincidence? 🤔

    Pixel 7 pro here, no change in battery life/drain.

    I don't know if it's a coincidence but I did notice it on my Pixel 8 Pro! The interesting thing is that I'm running Graphene OS, not stock

    I'm on an S22+, something weird was happening for a while with mine:
