P7 owners, how do I get decent battery life? (lemmy.ml)

I can't for the figure out how to get more than 3 hours of SOT. My battery is at a 100% health according to accubattery, and it was just replaced a few weeks ago so the battery is for sure good.

Whenever I check accubattery, it'll give me a claim of how a full charge should give me 9 hours of SOT, but 3 hours later my battery is at 20% or lower. I add up the usage per app and it doesn't add up.

I've got adaptive battery, adaptive connectivity, and adaptive charging turned on. I'm only using LTE since my carrier doesn't do 5G either way. I'm usually at 50%-80% unless I'm out in the sun. I've tried resetting the learned behavior for adaptive battery as well, but that hasn't changed anything.

It's not even like my units defective because the one I bought first had a defective fingerprint sensor and had the same battery life.

Give me your secrets people, I just want my phone to last me the day.

7 pro since launch day here. Always had really disappointing battery life.

I used mine for very trivial tasks. On WiFi virtually all day, indoors most of the day. I use my phone casually--no video games, no video chat apps. I will take it off the charger at 7:45am and use it for MAYBE 2.5h of screen time over the course of 11-12h during the day and I'll be at 35% battery left. If I do ANYTHING just shortly taxing and I have to charge it midday.

Google soc and hardware choices are very power inefficient.

My wife has a 7a and also had disappointing battery life.

Google isn't on a good path so far I'm my opinion.

For the first time I'm completely disinterested in what Google is doing with their pixel phones. I went to an S23 ultra and battery life has been nothing sorry of amazing, and the concerns I used to have with camera on Samsung phones isn't really an issue to me anymore.
