I too was experiencing this. It was laughably bad. I then disabled 5G and all my issues disappeared. 4G is plenty fast enough and in my area has far better coverage. I truly don’t see the point of 5G and the toll it takes on my battery.
5G is slower than 4G 9 times out of 10 for me. I don’t understand wtf AT&T is doing.
S21 Ultra user here, not in US.
My experience is the same. 50/20 on 4G and the same area which has 5G also had 18/5 lol
Strange, I can get over 100 Mbps down from them
Congrats on the thousandth post!
I’m done paying Google to be a beta tester for their experiments. No matter how much I may hate manufacturer skins on top of Android, I’d rather deal with software bugs and quirks than hardware issues.
My Pixel 6 always had issues switching from Wi-Fi to cellular, often requiring toggling airplane mode to get back data. It will be my last Google handset for a long while. Still deciding what to get next, leaning towards Samsung or OnePlus.
I’m running a Pixel 7 with GrapheneOS and honestly can’t complain about anything. It works pretty flawlessly and battery life is great.
Gotta skip every other year with pixels.
I have the P8 pro with 4G. And I barely drop below 40 % during the day. And that with plenty of screen on time.
I need to charge my Pixel 7a 2-3 times/day. I’m at 21%. My phone was at 100% 12 hours ago. Only 1h37m screen-on time.
This is the worst battery life I’ve ever had from a phone. So, I’m not surprised the Pixel 8 is also bad.
I’m going to sell this phone and get something else. This will be my first time ever selling a phone before running it into the ground; my last phone was a Pixel 3a I got 4 years from.
Can you try grapheneOS as a last resort? I get almost 2-day battery life on it in my 6a.
