I don't have this issue. Infact my battery life is better after the pie update. However I have a different WiFi connectivity issue. It appears that Nokia has given us different builds with different bugs. I hope that's not the case.
I had this Pie update yesterday 2018-10-12. At first I didn't pay attention to battery issues, but instead I was very unpleased with Pie UI, namely QuickStep, which I then changed to and tweaked with Nova. Then, I started to notice the severe battery drain, which I in my mind at first blamed to Nova. But, instead, as I just noticed, it's the Pie itself.
With Screen brightness as low as 40% and all battery savings to the max, I only get about 10 hours of forecasted charge with no usage, as opposed to Oreo's previous settings like 85-95% brightness and 40+ hours of charge even with more than moderate usage.
Oreo was much better than this pie I can bet nokia's software department is too weak After months od beta testing what we got this buggy pie infact i would love to stay with oreo than this
Check which app is draining your battery, if its display then try adaptive brightness. You can try addaptive battery manager. Disable any app that draining your phone battery in background.
I'm having the same issue with my 2 months Nokia 6.1. Battery used to last almost 1,5 day and now it barely lasts 24h with little usage. After a Google search it seems that this is happening with other manufacturers as well. However, it's very unfortunate that no Nokia admin has replied to this thread yet. Does anyone know how/if it is possible to do a 100% backup of Everything before downgrading to Oreo again?
I don't know but I have contrasting experience about battery life. I just bought Nokia 7 plus last two weeks ago, out-of-the-box build is Android 8.1 with May 1, 2018 security patch. Mine didn't upgrade immediately to Android 9 as I was informed that updates were having problems rolling out the first week I acquired the phone, so i get to experience the phone with its out-of-the-box build. I experienced so many problems with it including rapid battery draining (a full charge cannot sustain a day with regular social app switching and mobile data on, need to recharge around late afternoon or the evening) and stuttering UI round about on general use. Upgrade to Android 9 rolled out last week and i observed better battery performance (same usage: full charge can sustain a full day, i only charge the next day) and smoother UI transitions.
After the pie update my battery was draining drastically but in a few days it got fixed and my battery drain had came to normal but though there were some bugs, in dec i received a update for bug fix , from that time my battery has started draining fastly again. A trusted brand like nokia should read these threads and fix all the problems soon
I have the same issues too. what you need to do is just turn off adaptive battery on settings. I was told that it will drain the battery so much in the beggining of the improvement because the device are trying to adapt our usage. They say it will take a week or two, but since my usage are not certain each day, it takes longer. I already use more than a month and it gets worse. just turn it off. and everything was fine. back to normal. hope this help.
Totally agree, I have a Nokia 5 with a brand new battery (only 5 days old) due to a bug in the last one, and on Android o I could get up to 4 days, on Android p I get 1 if I am lycky
Truly disappointed with Pie on Nokia 5. I fully charge twice per day and still don't know whether phone will be working for wake up alarm. Phone was working excellent 1 week ago with Oreo
When purchasing Nokia 5 a year ago, specifications never mentioned battery drainage after 3 hrs. You really need to resolve this issue. A lot of our work is depending on these phones and they can't just stop working such sursudde
I have Android Pie with January update patch. I am experiencing battery draining and wifi problems.. at first I thought there is some problem with my internet service provider but then when I saw that other phones on the same wifi were working great I contacted Nokia Support and I got a kindergarten response on how to connect to a wifi network and how to troubleshoot by entering all the values in the advance settings. When I further asserted my problem then asked me put my phone factory reset as the last resort.
With wifi I have experienced problem to the extent that wifi network shows as 'disabled' but on the other hand my hp desktop and mi phone are connected to that same network and have no problem as 'disabled'. Even whole writing this message my phone got disconnected with the wifi.
I today charged my phone to 100% and by the time I have finished writing this message my phone is less than 80%. Earlier my phone would fast charge but now it is taking longer time to charge and I have to daily charge my phone while earlier I used to charge in two days or sometimes more (depending on the usage).

So something's definitely wrong here.
No, I haven't seen such flickering yet.
I can bet nokia's software department is too weak
After months od beta testing what we got this buggy pie infact i would love to stay with oreo than this
S8s are experiencing the same problem
For a battery this soze its terrible. I'm about 20% of expected battery life for a usual day's use.
Get Google to fix this asap!
