Pixel 4a 5G UW - View / Extend Battery Life

Here's how to extend battery life, view charging status / remaining battery and determine what uses the most power on your Pixel 4a 5G UW.
  • Battery life is measured by standby time and talk time.
    • Standby time is the amount of time the device stays powered on with no voice, data or other usage.
    • Talk time is based on voice usage.
    • Data usage such as web browsing, using apps or streaming reduces overall talk time.
  • Apps and processes are listed from highest to lowest percentage of power consumption. Review any high or unusual battery drain.
  1. From a Home screen, swipe up to display all apps.
  2. Navigate:
    Settings
    Battery
    .
  3. Review the current battery status.
    The percentage indicates the remaining battery life, charging status and estimated time to fully charge.
    Charging status and estimated time to fully charge is only displayed if the device is connected to a charger.
  4. Tap
    Battery usage
    .
  5. View the 'Battery usage since last full charge' details.
    The graph displays the battery level since last full charge.
To improve battery life, you can:
  • Disable or uninstall apps (e.g., live wallpapers, etc.) that are consuming too much battery or RAM or aren't being used.
  • Contact the app developer if an app appears to cause excessive battery drain.
  • Adjust brightness to the lowest setting or use Automatic brightness.
  • Turn off GPS when not in use.
    If disabled, certain apps or services may not work properly.
  • Turn off vibrate mode if not used.
  • Ensure battery optimizations aren't ignored: make sure accounts (e.g., email, Facebook®, etc.) are selected and optimized as desired.
  • Remove widgets that automatically update.
