Hmm, maybe what I was dealing with on the One S was different because after Googling IMS and LG, a ton of stuff comes up about this new technology being pushed with the advancements of LTE. "IMS is about enabling operators, whether they are wireline, wireless or cable to provide real-time interactive multimedia services, such as IMS-enabled IPTV, gaming, video conferencing and click-to-call with a standards-based, open architecture." LG has been pushing for seamless voice to video conferencing handoff with this IMS Service.
[G2 General] Hardcore73:
I had the phone on for 23.5 hours and 5 hours of on screen time for my first charge :) Very happy with that. Wifi was on most of the time.
[G2 General] Hardcore73:
Here are some screen shots of my first charge.
[G2 General] wargreymon89:
By looking at some peoples battery life, is it just me or is this screen draining incredibly little? Just look at Hardcore73s 5h and thats just 22.3% of the whole battery o.O Thats 22h screen time if nothing else would drain.
[G2 General] Gasaraki-:
Me too!!! I was so surprised coming from my GNex.

Yes, LG has stated that they have some technology that suppose the cache static parts of the screen in RAM or something and should cut down on screen power use by 26%

Found it:

"For more efficient energy usage, the LG G2 employs Graphic RAM (GRAM) technology. GRAM reduces the display’s energy use by up to 26 percent on a still frame and increases overall usage time on the device by approximately 10 percent."
[G2 General] hoola20055:
I use 50% brightness all the time. I will get over 5 hours screen on time no problem. I leave gps on and use 4g only (unlimited)
[G2 General] Hardcore73:
You will get more like 6-7 depending on your stand by time.

---------- Post added at 11:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:06 PM ----------

This phone is rated for over 10 hours on screen time of continuous use.
[G2 General] NoLeftHere:
I also heard that LG's screen tech uses less energy on white colors than other screens, actually, there little difference in power consumption from black screens to white screens.
[G2 General] tombepa:
I am having a little bit of an issue charging it. I have the Verizon G2 and was driving using GPS. It was discharging while on my car charger which is a 2.1a belkin. Then I charged it later with standard wall charger. Went to bed with 86% and had it on the lg wireless charger. Woke up with still 86% 8 hours later. Will this thing only charge correctly with the wall charger?

Edit: Forgot to mention that on my return trip in car I didn't need gps so I turned it off, screen was off, it was still discharging instead of charging on car charger.
[G2 General] Semantics:
I guess not a lot of T-Mobile customers have this phone yet. I'm getting kernel and partial wakelocks like crazy. My phone was off the charger for 9 hours and it had 5 hours of deep sleep and 4 hours awake. Android OS is crushing me in wakelocks, powermanagerservice and NLP are the major culprits. I'm wondering if any other T-Mo customers are having this issue?
[G2 General] akong702:
I'm not having those problems you mentioned. Here's some screen shots. Not accurate, but I'm liking the results. Came from a gnex.
[G2 General] robstunner:
I'm not sure whether to be excited or not about this battery life. Seems no better to a tiny bit better than the moto x. This is with screen as the largest drain and 12-13 off charge

For all of my complaining about Android OS etc giving me wakelocks, I guess I really shouldn't be too upset. Android System and OS are always way on top, if I could figure that out, I'd probably get 3 days out of a charge!
[G2 General] hackarchive:
Anyone with the korean model?How's battery life on that one?
[G2 General] robstunner:
Not bad, but kind of disappointed that this gets 5hrs SOT on a day, while the s4 active gets the same with a 2600mah.
[G2 General] mahendra1020:
You need to realize, that screen time is with 35 hours on battery and still 29% is left. Most of the top phones would have died. I got 6.5 hours screen on time with 24 hours on battery.
[G2 General] razball:
Screen is smaller and the processor is less powerful so its pretty amazing that the g2 gets that type of battery life
[G2 General] saywhat4118:
best battery life smartphone I have ever had, and I have had many.
[G2 General] akong702:
Wow, what's your usage pattern on it? That's insane.
[G2 General] mahendra1020:
I could easily hit 6+ hours with this phone. I was streaming YouTube to tv for 1.5 hours. My S3 would have almost died with 2 hours of streaming on fresh cycle.

The standby is really great in this phone.
[G2 General] NoLeftHere:
I keep wanting to naturally plug in the G2 at 30%, but it doesn't need it!!! I go for about 12 hours usually before it gets to the 30% mark. with heavy usage, BT, GPS, NFC, on all the times.
[G2 General] saywhat4118:
Yah normally I charge every day but with this phone it's going to be every other day.
[G2 General] superhtchd2:
My g2 gets better battery life then my note 2 which I thought was good.
[G2 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
I thought I would also post this here to see if anyone can figure this out...

Well guys, something is still eating my battery alive. I went to bed with over 40% battery and I woke up with 7% left.

Here are my screenshots from better battery stats. Can anyone figure out what's eating me alive?
[G2 General] geoff5093:
Same here!
[G2 General] superhtchd2:
Yeah and after a few charge cycles now its getting even better.
[G2 General] SysAdmNj:
I just cant believe, its been like 2 hours and maybe 15 minutes off the charger and its still at 100%. Standby power management is really good. Then again I disabled location access because quite frankly I dont need my widget telling me what the current temp is at my current location and thats the only use I had for it. Also, I'm running greenify which I would assume just helps the matter. LG G2 is impressive so far.
[G2 General] Gasaraki-:
Interesting quote on the Droid Maxx review that just came out.

http://www.engadget.com/2013/09/16/motorola-droid-maxx-review/

If you scroll down to the battery section quote:

"These numbers are great, but does it hold the title for longest battery life in the market? We would have said yes until this past week, when we discovered that the LG G2 -- with its smaller, 3,000mAh battery -- actually lasts longer in real-world use and our standard video rundown test."

"...heavy users who absolutely need the epic runtime and prefer not to carry an external backup battery. This device (Droid Maxx) will suit that demographic perfectly, but even then, we can think of at least one device that offers battery life and better components for $100 less"
[G2 General] ksc6000:
Yeah I don't know about the battery life of this phone.

I took it off the charger at 6:30 am this morning (it is now 3:35pm). All I've done on it was open maps for a few seconds when I left my house, to see how backed up the highway was. And then I chatted on it for about half an hour via hangouts. It stayed at 100% for an extremely long time, which tells me that the battery meter is very inaccurate. Then once it finally dropped from 100, it dropped like a rock. I've made no calls, watched no videos, I have literally not done ANYTHING but use maps for a few seconds and then chat during my lunch hour. Wifi is off, BT is off, GPS is off, location services disabled. And the phone is now at 78% with screen of 39m23 seconds, and I have had the brightness set to a measly 19%. Pathetic. I think this will be going back before the 14 day return period.
[G2 General] mjdupuis:
Something's wrong, that doesn't measure up to what most users are getting. Post a screenshot of your battery usage.
[G2 General] razball:
Now that's awesome
[G2 General] ksc6000:
I drew by accident on the first photo. I'm not impressed at all with this battery life
[G2 General] geoff5093:
Wow, 9.5 hours of use with almost an hour of on screen time and only 25% of the battery has been used and you aren't happy? Sounds like you wouldn't be satisfied with anything other than the MAXX...
[G2 General] mjdupuis:
Looks like an app may be preventing the system from sleeping (wakelock?). I would try a wake lock detector, shutting all apps down to find the culprit, or restarting the device. It would be very abnormal for the screen to not be the biggest drain for me.
[G2 General] ksc6000:
It's not that geoff, it's that with the EXACT same usage, on my GSM galaxy nexus with an oem 2000mah battery, also on AT&T, I would get an hour (actually an hour, not just close) of screen time by the time I'd hit 75%. I know that this is LTE and that was 3G only, but there's a 1000 MAH difference and this is supposed to be a much more efficient processor/screen combination. So I gotta say, with that in mind, I'm disappointed.
[G2 General] ksc6000:
And it's just continuing to drop like a rock for no reason.
[G2 General] Namtaru:
4 hours of screen on time
[G2 General] kurofox23?:
My battery life has been great. Best of any phone I have ever had. I kept it on for two days to see when it would die.
[G2 General] freebird_78:
Mine is so far looking like it's going to out do my Maxx HD. Not by much, mind you, but very impressive none the less.
[G2 General] friguy3:
@14 hours and 35min w/ 3hrs 20min on screen time and I have 3% left and its taking forever to kill the battery. I used to get to 30% and kinda start thinking, where am I going to charge my phone. Now @ 30% I had like 4 hours left. Lovin it.
[G2 General] superhtchd2:
I'm 17hrs and 14mins on battery right now with 8% left. Trying to take it down to 1% for the last 15mins when at 10%. I'd def rate this at one of if not the best battery life. Especially considering its a 5.2" quad core phone!
[G2 General] robertopod1968:
So you are saying you could get 4 hours of screen time and 36 hours standby on a Nexus4? That would be amazing for that phone
[G2 General] ksc6000:
No not on the nexus 4. My galaxy nexus. I had the nexus 4 for a little while and it was not as good on battery as the gnex.
[G2 General] robertopod1968:
Oh. Got ya. I never used that one
[G2 General] Gasaraki-:
It's not the phone. You have some software eating your battery or you are in a weak cell signal area. Go find out what's eating your battery.
[G2 General] robertopod1968:
This is as far as I could run it down today
[G2 General] akong702:
A full workday, I'm impressed.
[G2 General] mahendra1020:
A full 2 days with Dlna streaming

Games(30 mins), YouTube, online radio, few calls,GPS, lots of browsing with one full day on WiFi and another day on 4G. This is what I expected of a smartphone.
[G2 General] Billy Madison:
Short: Network location services. Stop them or let them some time to accustom to your movements

Long:

Read http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/52257/nlpwakelock-and-use-wireless-networks-option and this http://www.reddit.com/r/nexus4/comments/1il5cm/ and this http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=45658881&postcount=48 and this http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=45608267&postcount=30

Nlpwakelocks means something like "network location presence" or similar. Google collect data about your movements so GoogleNow can work correctly and to send it to NSA. You've heard about Snowden and such, didn't you.

So either you leave location services and "google maps" app turned on and in a matter of week-2weeks-3weeks they'll adjust to your daily moves and stop hog your battery so hungry. Or either you turn them off if you can afford you not using Google Now, hence your G2 will sleep deep and save A LOT of battery when not turned on. A LOT is like 25-30% of full battery capacity

---------- Post added at 01:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:35 PM ----------

Yes. It's inaccurate. Because it is not calibrated YET. Cycle charge it about a week, 5-10 times and it will show correct battery drainage. Stop being kid or go to school

---------- Post added at 01:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:03 PM ----------

40% of Android System means that some process constantly makes garbage in memory which dalvik named "android system" constantly wipes. So hunter for what apps you installed and made them constantly work in background. What you use, maybe its Google Maps or some similar navi software? Or maybe it's buggy twitter or fb client?
[G2 General] linh1987:
I stopped reading here. As a Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4 owner, there's no way the GNex can out do Nexus 4 on battery life. :confused:
[G2 General] ksc6000:
I love when people make blanket statements like that. My galaxy nexus did do better for what I used it for. With the exact same usage and similar brightness it did slightly better than the nexus 4. It was close (the nexus 4 would be at 73ish percent and the gnex would be at 80 by the time I got home). But considering I was able to swap out to a fresh battery with the gnex I couldn't justify keeping the nexus 4 even with its beefy processor and more ram.

In either case the point is again for just chatting on hangouts (that's my primary use for my phone) the nexus should not get more screen time with similar brightness with a 2000mah battery, than the g2, in my personal opinion.

The main thing to keep in mind is that unlike a rundown test, this is my experience over a REGULAR DAY. Of course if I charge up both the G2 and the GNEX and use them simultaneously nonstop, the G2 will do better obviously, and last much longer before it dies after nonstop use. But over an actual workday, that's not being the case so far for me, and the reason is simply because when I did not touch the Nexus, it would drop less than 0.5% an hour just sitting at my desk, whereas the G2 is dropping like 2% per hour doing nothing.
[G2 General] jim_0068:
Here you go, still going strong with 13% left to go. This is on my 2nd full charge.
[G2 General] beddachedda:
oh hey guys
[G2 General] shea-bird:
Battery seems awesome to me. I rock my screen at 30% brightness normally and turn location services off, while leaving GPS on. I may run it a few days with the services on to see if it calibrates - although for the first charging cycle I did leave them on, and while it was a high user of the battery, I still got 2 days out of her with about 4hrs screen time. My second full charge was awesome - 5hrs screen time over 28 total hours. had about 20% left when I hooked her on the charger before last night. Will post screens of my second cycle.
[G2 General] ppau0822:
still not seeing numbers that indicate it beating the note 2, although benchmarks show that the g2 handily beats the note 2 in the gsmarena and anandtech battery benchmarks. might have something to do with the panel self refresh that lg use? somehow i dont see that translating well into real life usage...
[G2 General] spruce_rd:
Unreal battery life for me.

Killed lots of stuff with Titanium (more luck than knowledge), got

6 h 49 min

screen time playing youtube, with 7% remaining,

60% brightness and wifi, bluetooth, gps on.

Love it!
[G2 General] d.cortez:
my 2cents on battery life. while the pics below are not representative of my typical workday usage (e.g, more phone calls and less email), i have 38% battery life after 15 hours. during this time, i received a total of 146 emails (2 Exchange accounts), replied to 42, sent 51 text messages, had 1.5 hours of internet browsing, had Wifi enabled and connected for 15hrs and used 7 hours of screen time (50% brightness). if i factor in 90 minutes of call time (typical workday average), i estimate remaining battery life would drop from 38% to 20%. nonetheless, this is very acceptable for my needs and compares favorably to the battery life i see on my HTC Butterfly S. as an FYI, i'm using an at&t, rooted G2. i have not frozen any apps using TB (thought about it but forgot to do it) but i did disable most of at&t's poo-poo.
[G2 General] ksc6000:
That's very impressive. I hope to be able to achieve numbers like that. So when you say you didn't freeze any apps but you disabled AT&T's crap, do you mean simply through the settings of the phone you disabled them?
[G2 General] razball:
Its better than any phone I've used including note 2 lol I'm sitting at 95% with 2hrs or so off charger and about a half hour of sot
[G2 General] Wesley32:
Over 2 hours off charger and only down 1%.
[G2 General] importtuner419:
Here are my results. This is by far the greatest phone battery life I have ever seen. I thought the Note 2 was good but this blows it away. The screen on time includes about an hour and a half of streaming YouTube full screen over lte. I got these results after doing a factory reset due to ridiculous battery drain. I have location services running and Google now is active I just keep GPS off. The majority of the time I was on lte. Seriously ridiculous battery!
[G2 General] Viper76269:
the battery life is what i'm looking forwards to the most. it's about time phones lasted this long
[G2 General] lumpysherman:
19+ hours with 2:45 hours of screen time. Simpson's tapped out and new angry birds are battery killers. Also Map My Fitness drained it about 7% in 25 minutes while walking at lunch today.

This afternoon once charging is complete will listen to a baseball game and possibly some sirius xm. I'll see how bad streaming will kill it.

I killed Weather channel app for causing some huge wake time using GPS. Will try it without it turned on.

Hello. I have a HTC Butterfly S(3200mah) and i want get LG G2.

I'm a light user. I got 100 hrs with 3 hrs screen use. Do you think i can get this times with LG G2?.

I make a little phone calls. Check twiter, emails (no auto sync account). Watch a little youtube videos. No games. Use greenify. I use wifi on most of the time (3g a little). I'm at home most of the time.

I read the stanby time of HTC Butterfly S is better than LG G2.

Sorry for my english. Thanks.
[G2 General] Darkestred:
I had 64 hours with 3 hours screen time. 13% left. Not nearly as good as 100.
[G2 General] d.cortez:
i also have the Butterfly S and so far LG G2 battery life has compared favorably to my S device. after an atypical heavy usage day covering 14 hours i had 27% battery left, which included 2 hours of phone calls and 10 hours of screen time. Link to post with pictures
[G2 General] mediumraresteak:
Are people turning on the sync function in their notification bar and location access? Part of me wants to turn it off to get extra juice but then I lose the Gmail and Maps functionality/updates.
[G2 General] Darkestred:
Well. I did remove some bloat and currently i didn't realize i was nearing 50 hours on this charge. 46 hours with 3 hours screen on time. 50% left. Should hit over 100 if i dont use it that much.
[G2 General] giri0n:
With light to moderate usage, after 5+ days, I'm averaging around 5-7 hours of screen on time after 20-26 hours off a charge, with somewhere between 20-30% left over. I've put it on the charger in the evening of the same day I took it off, but I've gone almost a day and a half before it was necessary. I anticipate that this will probably be my average for normal usage (1 hour of video/2 hours of web surfing/2 hours of text,phone,other messaging, 1 hour misc)

Coming from the Galaxy Nexus - MORE THAN satisfied.
[G2 General] bgaccord:
Battery life is so good. Watching YouTube, texting, browser, couple calls. Love this phone
[G2 General] JayfromBK86:
Best battery life I ever had for a phone and I switched from a Droid Razr Maxx and this blows it out the water. Battery life is truly remarkable. With heavy use in an 8hr work day my battery is usually around 70-75%.

I love the fact I no longer have to stop tinkering with my phone throughout the day out of fear theme battery will be dead by the time I get home from work.
[G2 General] knuckle03:
Owned galaxy s1, s2, s3, note2, s4, htc one and this. This is the best ( or tied with note2 ) when it comes to battery, the only 2 phones that i can squeeze 6 hrs screen time with a day of use.
[G2 General] jordant2:
Yesterday was my first full day of use. Got over 4 hrs of screen time plus 2hrs talk. I ended my day with an hour or so of youtube and went to bed with 47% remaining after almost 17 hours of use.

And it lasts through my work day without draining. Today i went through a 9 hour shift with 96% remaining. I only sent a few texts and checked my gmail, i was working afterall.
[G2 General] akong702:
That's nice. What's your settings and apps like? I'm able to get this type of usage with google location services on, global sync on, gps on, bluetooth on etc. but, i have to greenify facebook, and beautiful widgets to achieve it. I guess those are my culprits.
[G2 General] jordant2:
I don't have all my apps set up yet. I have the basics, Facebook, all my banking and credit card apps, eBay, xda (of course). No games. I have Facebook greenified and I uninstalled maps and downloaded from the play store so I could greenify maps too.

I have location services off but I have Google apps able to use my location in the Google settings app. I enable gps whenever I need to use it. And I have Bluetooth and WiFi on most of the day. I always have sync enabled. So I could do even more to conserve battery if I disabled sync and did a few other tweaks like greenify eBay but there's just no reason to do it!

Too lazy to upload screens, but this thing has been awesome for me. First day was not great, but after the Android OS settled down I can EASILY get two days out of this sucker with normal usage.

It's been off charger for almost 18 hours and I'm currently at 39% with 4 hours of screen time, 1.5 hours of talk time, and a fair amount of gaming. I would rarely get more than 2 hours a day screen time if I hadn't just got a new phone. I remember 3 hours screen time being about the max I could get off my S3, and that was with gimped brightness.

[G2 General] crawlgsx:
AT&T LG2 here, battery life is just blowing my mind.

No tweaks, stock, no attempts to save battery life and I am at ~49h with 55% remaining.

Don't play games or watch movies but I stream music in my car, texts, web, email, etc.. and no other phone I have owned has ever come close. Making it 2 days at best was a chore even with the large battery in the Note II and 2 days was usually unattainable on most.
