I've been using Pixel 4A for close to 2 yrs now. I've been facing issues with battery backup. I'm not getting it even a day. I have to top-up during 4-5PM to last till night. I started noticing this degradation very recently, not sure if this was the case from beginning.
I've even seen drop of 75% to 60%s over night, with nothing running in background (used greenify to kill everything).

I've been running AccuBattery for few days now. The estimated capacity shows 2700+ mah. Is the issue I'm facing purely bcos of battery? Can anyone help me understand the screenshot better.
I'm aware that 4A doesn't have a great battery life even from the specs. I purchased this just for the small form factor. What should I do now? Repair? Sell and replace?

Put it in airplane mode and tell us how much is lost.

You shouldn't be using greenify beyond Android 9. It is counterproductive

I will put it in Airplane mode tonight and see.
I know about Greenify, just wanted to try and see.
 
Pixel 4A doesn't have a good battery life to begin with. And since the device is 2 years old, degradation is unavoidable. Did you update the device recently ? If Yes, do a factory reset and check. I had a OP7 which got an OTA update. Battery life was cut to half after the update. I've reset the phone and battery life went back to normal.

If you are planning on replacing the phone and looking for a compact one, the only option you have is the Asus 9Z or an iPhone.
 
I have a Pixel 4a that's going to be 2 years soon. Battery life is crap. Lasts half a day but it's always been poor. Never lasted a full day even when new

Does it run warm? If you monitor the battery temps throughout the day you will know.

If you live in a warmer climate averaging 35-40 this will happen.

Yeah. I've been looking at 9Z for a while, but I don't think Asus will launch it in India anytime and I'm skeptical on buying it from US with NO Indian warranty . Definitely No iPhone, however small it may be...

How much do you lose overnight in % now? Also, state how many hours it was left unattended so as to work out an hourly drain rate

With Blockada and VancedManager running it was around 10-15. Now after quitting them both, its around 3-5. Phonr would be unnatended from 11PM - 630AM. So around 7Hrs on an average.

I'm a lite user I guess or I've never noticed the crappiness. I usually charge on mornings. And by next day morning before charging it would be around 10-15. Now I had to topup around evening to get this percentage the next morning. That's why started this thread.

No. I do live in Chennai, can be said a warm region. But phone doesn't run warm.
 
No mine doesn't run warm but I'm a heavy user. I use mine more or less like a laptop, plugged in whenever i can. I have chargers, power banks everywhere!
 
Yeah, that is kinda low then. it's mediocre.

3140mah battery :meh:

People want small phone this is what you get unless you can slow that CPU down.

Its got a SD 730, that's not a battery guzzler, hmmm....
