Users have been griping about the battery life ever since the Pixel 6 series received the latest Android 13 upgrade. Following the Android 13 update, it appears that some of them are experiencing terrible battery life on the Pixel 6, but we have a workaround.

A SOLUTION FOR THE TERRIBLE BATTERY LIFE ON THE PIXEL 6 WITH ANDROID 13 IS PROVIDED HERE. Of course, until Google releases an update, the issue won’t be totally fixed. There is a technique to lessen the harm, though. Two of my coworkers’ Pixel 6 devices have had terrible battery life.

I really do mean bad when I say it. Battery life falls to 20% or less after three to three and a half hours of screen time. It goes without saying that’s terrible, especially in light of the fact that the same device on Android 12 went well above 7 hours of screen time.

Depending on where you reside, you can try setting it to 3G or 4G max; we haven’t really explored the 5G option. Both options appear to function. You can modify this by searching for “Preferred network type” in the Settings menu’s search box.

OUR BATTERY STATS HAVE IMPROVED IMMENSELY. After making that adjustment, the battery life considerably increased. Three days in a row, we were able to acquire 6-7 hours of screen time. Compared to what we were getting before, that is a vast improvement.

As I’ve already said, this is clearly not the answer. This requires an update from Google so that you can use your phone normally without having the mobile data connection type locked. However, doing this would undoubtedly be helpful if you are experiencing battery life concerns with the Pixel 6.
