I have cloudyg3 with kernel it comes with. I removed all LG bloat and froze the rest of the app I don't use. Have whatspp & gmail syncing with a mix of wifi and 3g.

I am able to hit 5 hr SOT, but my phone(battery) is new about a week old which may be a factor.

With regards to some of you guys using custom roms for the G2. How are you guys seem without the good camera capabilities, with the stock lg rom camera app. Because I've been meaning to change to pa or cm, but every time i try the camera it just sucks really bad.

I found my own way to revert to not only stock, but also 4.2.2 with download mode showing UNROOTED.

Flashing only KDZ/TOT and then doing OTA update still did not remove the ROOTED in download mode. My way did not require OTA and the way I did it is not even mentioned on XDA.

If people ask for it, I may consider making a guide.

I received my G2 with KK so I never tried JB until now. I actually prefer it over KK! Performance has not dropped after downgrading so far for me, which is a little surprise to me Too early to tell about battery but either way I am staying on JB for a long time. It is a firmware that is complete, unlike KK.

Hi pll!

When I bought my G2 D802 32GB it already came with the KK 4.4.2 D80220f-EUR-XX firmware. Now I want to try the JB 4.2.2 but I can´t identify the correct firmware from lg-firmware site! Someone can point me the download link to the correct file?

I'm used to getting 30+ hrs with bt on and paired all day and all data connections on (and 40+ without pairing), but over the past 2 weeks something I installed or updated has the phone way, way down. barely getting 18 hrs now. instead of steady decreases, it's sharp drops, even when screen is off.

I've already frozen everything I can think of and reverted every possible setting I could have changed, cleared cache/dalvik, and installed additional battery apps in attempt to track down the culprit but I can't find ANYTHING wrong!

has there been anyone else experiencing the same? did a random app start acting up after being updated?

if I had to guess the issue could be related to Google services/android system, but I haven't changed anything regarding Google apps (I keep hangouts frozen 99.9% of the time).

vzw stock 442, rooted and Xposed. been running this setup for 6 months (422 and 442) and it's been nothing short of phenomenal, until recently. I didn't make any major changes, just routine app updates via play store. I've frozen or uninstalled at least a dozen apps in addition to monitoring battery life with better battery stats, gsam, etc, but nothing seems to stick out.

Sub par battery life

First of all, hello everyone!

Last week I got my LG G2 32 GB international version (D802). I bought it used and it is still has 1 year warranty. The thing is, I am not getting the expected battery life, which is really disappointing. With whatsapp and web browsing, without any drain in idle, I get at most 4h SOT, and that is with 30-50% screen brightness. According to this forum, that is way too low. Do you think it is a faulty battery and somethign that can be replaced or is the whole device faulty? Or is 4h SOT really normal for web browsing over wifi?? No signal problems whatsoever, tried KK 20d and 20f. Bothe behave the same.

In addition, noise and crackling is present in the phone speaker when calling someone. When the other person isn't talking, it's as if the sound has been cut off.

All in all, I should try to get a replacement?

[G2 General] iopetja:
Something changed with BT since 20f, even the sound in the car is cracking (the other side has trouble hearing me).

Otherwise, as someone said "fantastic battery life"...

Constantly holding for 2 days of normal use(8am day 1 till 11pm day 2, with usually 10% left). Meaning 20-30% bright, wifi, 4g, syncs 3 mails, surfing, store updates, location, gps,...all ON without holding back.

Mine is stock 802int, non-branded, non-rooted, non-freezed....non-EVERYTHING :) The only thing used is battery saver doing magic from 100%.

Today I was killing it the whole day while forgetting the brightness on 70%, photos, heavy-surfing, long-calls, dropbox, voip, youtube (kids ;))....And Beastie is now smiling at me with 29% left.

With this piece, all chargers left the company building, my cars....

OK, that's a lie, my wife needs them for hers S3LTE + the cable for those poor iPhoners that jump in praying for some juice ;)

The day that I bought this was the day I started to enjoy the pleasures of smartphone.

This is the first phone I haven't touched still, unrooted...stock firmware. I just don't need it (for now), they made it so freakin good, hw but also software.

Never though I'd be owning and praising LG, but now I'm taking the hat down!

Which kernel are you using?
[G2 General] hol17:
If you look at the screenshots, there is no cell reception. That will kill any phone battery since it would be constantly looking for a signal.

I also recommend you download a Wakelock detector app to see if something is keeping your phone awake.

Don't assume it is a hardware issue with such limited info.
[G2 General] IOmega666:
What do you guys recommend for the combo ROM + Kernel?

I've been using Mahdi ROM with the default kernel and get 12~16 hours of total usage and 3 hours of screen time if i really use it, if i light use it i get like 24 hours with 4~5 hours of screen time.

I know that with stock the battery is better so, what do you guys recommend? 'cause i do like the smoothness in AOSP, it is nothing compared to stock ROM.

Anyone still on cloudyg3 1.3 default kernel? I'm getting 0% idle drain over night (about 7 1/2 hours) past two nights. I use it for a bit to make sure it wasn't an issue with calibration.
[G2 General] EMINENT1:
My Sprint G2 is used as a media player to mirror to an Appradio 3 head unit in the car using a slimport cable that allows charging and hdmi passthrough. I have stock rom using Dorimanx kernel. Froze and uninstalled a lot of apps. Uninstalled messaging and phone since it has a bad esn and no need for it. Used Disable Service to disable some Play services that were always running like Google analytics service, Nlplocation, Location is off, Google Now is off, etc.

I use Tasker to automate the shutdown of all apps and wifi, I have airplane mode on and when i'm not connected to the cable and go to bed and wake up, I have 100%.

The issue i'm having is when I leave the phone plugged into charge cable overnight even though it's not charging with all essential apps not running, after 10 hours I get in the car to go to work with 35% battery left. I have 45% after an 8 hr. work day.

Any ideas what rogue process is causing this that I've missed?

I do have auto sync off, but phone backup is on. I'm thinking it has to do with the cable being plugged. I can't disable anything related to the functionality of the Appradio Unchained Reloaded app that allows mirroring through the cable though. Tasker is set to open the app upon charging detection when I turn on the car so the app will initialize the mirroring to the head unit.
[G2 General] Closed Force:
I see you know your phone very well so please don't mind if my noob opinion is of no help. It seems to me that you somehow set your phone not to sleep while plugged in (developer opt?) .
[G2 General] EMINENT1:
Not a problem. Anything to help rule things out will help. With Better Battery Stats app, when it shows 100% in the morning, I do get deep sleep for 8 or so hours. Under alarms, I do get some wakelocks there, but they were minimal. That was before I froze alarms and clock in Titanium since I don't use them either. After, I tested plugged in and still the 5-7% drain every hour.

I forgot to mention, that all this is using STweaks to bring the screen off cpu speed to 103000mhz. I also have alucard and hotplug suspend enabled and set to one core.

So, no problem off charge. Just plugged in and not charging where I get the drain.

I'll try to post some screenshots later.

Some of these battery stats are simply amazing.

I can bearly get 5h SOT with regular facebook/whatsapp/calling usage.

I disable as much analitics things in apps and use auto brightness with the slider on 50%.

I somehow have a feeling the first 25% drops verry slow but after those 25 it goes beserk and drops really fast.

Im not a frequent flasher and most syncs are disabled or once every 3/4 houres.

This is my second G2 D802(first had a yellow burn in on the screen) and on booth devices its equal.

Deleted as much as possible for my usage from a stock based rom here with its corresponding kernel.
[G2 General] Closed Force:
Few reminders for 6+ SOT:

1) use your phone a lot (every hour of screen off means less minutes of screen on :D )

2) adjust your brightness manually/keep it low

3) downclock (4x2.1 is too much for buttery browsing/messaging, more for a show off)

4) get rid of widgets (even the simple ones like transparent weather, caused drains for me)

My first post on the forum after recently buying a shiny new g2.

I’m working my way through this thread (currently at page 28) but would be grateful for a summary of any tips to increase battery life on the g2, tips that don’t render your smartphone a stupidphone.

On my third discharge cycle I achieve 5hrs and 45 mins of screen time most of which is due to chrome browsing. I have display set to 50% auto and the phone isn’t rooted. I’ve used Wifi when in a wifi zone and switched it off in favour of data when out and about. I have turned off location services for now until I get up and running with weather app etc. I am also only syncing calendar, contacts, email, photos to cloud etc. I also don’t have facebook etc on there yet but I will at some point.

Is my performance decent?

Also what sort of ‘time awake’ can be considered reasonable? Should we just go off the percentage on that one?

Thanks

Unrooted, 30% autobrightness, screen time is 80% chrome web browsing. Sync for email, calendar, people is on. 3g or 4g - doesnt seem to make much difference.

When posting about battery life it's so much more accurate-useful to post full battery cycle, because first 50% of drain in many cases is not same as last 50%, just like 100% to 99% is not comparable to 99% to 98%. Maybe this should be mentioned in OP [MENTION=1366254]finkalink[/MENTION] .

Another thing, it seems that charging [MENTION=467413]500[/MENTION]ma gives 1 hour+ SOT than default.
