There is no way, this Google Pixel 5 you don't have to do it. There are more hardware and software problems that the device has encountered since its release than the benefits of users. A big gripe for Google home that you see many negative feedbacks on its official forum. Fortunately, however, most of the problems concern the software and are easily solved with an update. Excluding the problem of the gap between glass and body, nothing will prevent the company from sending a fix via OTA update. The latest bug found on the new generation Pixel concerns the battery. Many are reporting problems with Battery drain but fortunately not during use, but during the night. In "Idle“, Then in sleep mode, the device drains too much battery. Because? How to solve? Let's see it together.
Why Google Pixel 5 has a battery drain problem overnight and how to fix
Users report a substantial battery consumption reaching 40% at night. However, this type of battery drain occurs while the phone is idle. It shouldn't be that all services such as the screen, which consume a lot of battery, are not active. Let's see the testimonials of some users.
I've had a Pixel 5 for about a week. The phone seems to lose a lot of battery while idle overnight and there is no particular app / service that seems to be the cause. Is it a faulty hardware problem or can it be fixed by me? For the sake of completeness, I had it charged to 100%, so I used the device a bit and went to sleep with no app running in the background (which is when the battery dropped a worrying amount).
From the official blog you find in the source

In addition to this, on the official blog that you find linked in the source at the end of the article, there are more than sixty other testimonies which attest to the existence of the problem. But graciously, what causes this drastic battery drop on the Google Pixel 5?
It's all 5G's fault: here's how to fix it
It seems that the 5G modem and the connection of the same name substantially help the device to discharge overnight. Consumption on first generation processors is not new. Consequently to resolve temporarily pending a final fix just switch to the 4G network. All in all it's not a big deal considering the 5G network in Italy is to say the least poco inexistent. However, if you don't want to do without 5G, they exist other ways to patch:
- when using WiFi disable the option "Mobile data always on"In" Developer options ";
- disable the option "Pixel Ambient ServicesWhich seems to consume excess battery: just look for it in the list of applications and disable it;
- download nap time, which is a third-party application to reduce consumption during the night: it seems to work;
- deactivate "TuneIn Radio”Or even uninstall it.

Thank you. I bought back a Pixel 5 a few months ago and lately the drain is excessive. I followed the instructions even if I can't find Pixel Ambient Services e TuneIn Radio, Is it possible he doesn't have them? Thank you.
