I froze Intelligent Agent and my battery life increased dramatically. From what I've read, it's a logging app of some sort. Before freezing, I think the best I got before freezing was 3:30 screen time over 40 hours on battery. I did get close to 6 hours of screen time, but it would be over the course of 16 hours...after freezing, I got almost 6 hours screen time over 60+ hours on battery. I had FB and 3 emails synced. The only other thing I would freeze would be carrier iq. I tried freezing a bunch of other bloat and my battery life dropped significantly, but ymmv.

I think VZW's CDMA radio sucks up a good amount of power when it's in a poor reception area. I had a VZW GNex and my wife has an iPhone 4S and both our phones would die within 2 hours if we didn't turn them off when we would go to her cousin's house where there was zero reception. Might be with any phone that's not getting any reception, but that was my experience when I was on VZW.
[G2 General] bigsnack:
My resound was a real power hog, specially in no reception area(i.e. not even cell reception), but I have yet to be in a area where I didn't have even cell reception so I wouldn't know. Usually put it in airplane more in such areas, but I will see how my G2 performs in such area. Thank you for assuring that it could be because of reception. I also froze Intelligent Agent(and LG-MLT) so I will see how that turns out.
[G2 General] moocamr:
tnx for sharing will try it ! I have problem with my battery usage :\
[G2 General] l2phile:
With light use, i can reach 50 or more hours. With heavy use, battery is getting depleted in a few hours.

One hour of Eternal Warriors II -> 20% Battery :/

Where did you get those icons for your navbar?

I tried using the navbar themes for xposed, but they didn't work!

Also how have you managed to achieve your battery life!!! Freezing certain apps??
[G2 General] greyhd:
I froze LG agent and my settings FC. I decided to unfreeze and looks like no effects on battery life. Still get 40 hrs screen time with 7 hrs SOT.
[G2 General] barondebxl:
The G flex Rom plus G2 xposed plus gravity box.

I just flashed the G flex Rom and used the phone heAvy in all honesty. Battery life is just crazy. I moved on to the G flex tho
[G2 General] greyhd:
I see people are getting crazy battery life with the Flex Rom. Hopefully they get all the bugs figured out.
[G2 General] mab71:
Which g flex rom do you guys mean?
[G2 General] barondebxl:
No bugs for me. At least none that affected my usage.

Oooooh, thanks! I'm gonna look into it and find out the what's going on.
[G2 General] Takinato:
In my area 4g is low reception so turning off mobile data helps a ton as 4g will always try to finder better reception.

ROMs per se don't give the battery unsafe much way or another, it's the kernel they use. So if that flex ROM is great battery but buggy, see if it's using their own kernel or no (haven't looked). I'm getting 8 to 11 hours screen on with about 2 or 3 days between charge, greenify donate and xposed framework are my main changes to the phone besides the ROM I use. Using Mahdi ROM.
[G2 General] greyhd:
It must be the kernel since I have not seen any kernels for the G2 or G Flex stock roms. I might look into Mahdi ROM for the G2
[G2 General] mab71:
Great battery! But isn't the Mahdi rom buggy?
[G2 General] waz675:
I haven't had any (semi obviously) bugs come up. Using the build from the 19th, that may have addressed issues recently?

---------- Post added at 11:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:00 PM ----------

Just re read what I wrote earlier. I meant ROMs don't really give extra battery life per se, mainly smoother feel and the UI of course, kernel impacts battery life the most, unless the ROM has 'rogue apps' that suck juice.

All day with off and on phone usage plus some gaming and web + tapatalk hasn't given me too impaired battery life. Thumbs up
[G2 General] tylerjames09:
Coming from the nexus 5, I was NEVER able to break 4 hours of SOT, even with switching up kernels and CPU, etc. So thus for me is amazing, and its my second cycle. Can't wait to see where it goes from here. BTW I'm completely stock, using juice defender.

I don't know about anyone else here, but my sixty hours was never in airplane mode. It also involved a roadtrip through low signal area, just sayin...

I always had great battery life on G2.

Yesterday for the first time. In one of the office building meeting. My phone is in my shirt pocket in silent mode. It was still at 48%, Started to get hot. I did not check for anything. When I checked one hr later it went down to 19%. So came to my office and pulgged it in. Charger wasn't LG charger. After two hrs. It did not charge actully went down to 15 % and red. I can not even access Battery status. Went home and plugged in LG Charger that came with and it seems still not charging. Shutdown and restarted the phone and then plugged in; it was slowest charging ever I noticed. It took 12 hrs to go to 100%. I do not see any issues. This is the first tiem I let it go down to 19% or lower. So is this normal when battery is drained down so low?
[G2 General] vPro97:
No :( i never had nor heard of this issue when draining the battery low. The overheating in your pocket is quite worrying.
[G2 General] waz675:
I was basically just trying to state how people should show the battery screen so even though mini charges don't reset stats, they can be seen on the graph.

Coincidentally, my screen on time was about 1 hr 30 I'd say, its at 2hr45 on 66% battery with 2d3hr showing even through I did those 2 little charges in the car as a test which can be seen in the battery graph of a couple little inclines which would let people see if one 'cheated' to get better battery stats. Oh yeah, using mahdi ROM now on a few devices, G2, flo and one grouper. Liking it a lot!

[G2 General] raajivsh999:
i was very impressed with the battery life on stock rom. it lasted around two days for me with just a few phone calls, lots of txt msgs, frequent news and weather browsing and some games. sadly tho i 've not found a rom since rooting the g2 that maintained the same kind of battery life. currently jumping around rom to rom to see which one has the fewest glitches with the best battery life.
[G2 General] android404:
If you don't find a rom that lasts two days, you can simply use one that lasts one day and then charge overnight, the old fashioned way.
[G2 General] waz675:
General rule of thumb, ROM will give you UI smoothness + look, kernel gives you battery length/use and apps/games smoothness.

All basic generalisations of course but ultimately you can find a ROM for it's look and feel and a different kernel to improve battery use.

Also adding the element of installed apps/games can impede on battery life, "rogue apps" giving wake locks and the like chewing battery life. It can be somewhat time consuming to chase down battery life eaters (using betterbatterystats etc)

Of course one should choose the time spent chasing down stuff and improving battery life as "fun" heh heh.

Sorry if you knew all this, big day, well weekend that is still happening as it is" Australia day" weekend, kind of like thanksgiving, I've been out in the sun for a while with the wife and kids at various events:) enjoy!
[G2 General] raajivsh999:
yes you are right. don't go thinking i was complaining in my earlier post. i'm a flash addict and i jump around when a rom doesn't work for me even after giving it a week. the reason i jumped my last rom was because the g2 wouldn't go into screen timeout even tho it was set at 30 secs. it would wake up 3-4 times before finally locking. i jumped my rom before that because i was loosing 25% battery overnight despite setting cpu governers to power saving mode. both of those roms were very attractive to me but because there are many other roms to try, i see no reason in settling.

yes i have been learning about roms and kernels very slowly even though i've been rooting and flashing roms since the days of HTC G2. i don't mind people telling me important things i might or might not know so don't apologize. how else am I going to learn? :laugh: :good:

I may be the only one, but I experienced a significant battery drain when I had Pie enabled and Gravity Box installed. I uninstalled Gravity Box and Xposed Framework because Pie was the only thing I wanted out of them, and my battery is MUCH better today. It's a shame because I really LOVED using that feature because It gave the screen more real estate.

Anyway, I'm just throwing that out there for anyone using Pie and experiencing a battery drain...:good:

Awesome. I can't wait to have this phone. Id like one that I don't have to plug in every day. With my normal use I think it'll last me 2-3 days except on weekends when I use my phone a lot more but then it'll last me at least all day. :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

I finally made the 50+ club! Light to moderate usage all on LTE with no WiFi at all and BT on the entire time. Some music streaming with screen off. Used gmaps with GPS to nav about an hr trip as well. All in all, I think this was pretty good.
[G2 General] Steamer86:
Que? As you can see, Wi-Fi always on. GPS also was. Can't recall what other randoms. If I conserved that day, and set sync schedules, I'm sure I could have made 10. Can't say it's cheating, clearly it's 98% used. I Jane yet to push that high again. Currently at 4.2 hours @46%. I don't really try anymore. First phone I've had in ages that I don't worry about the battery but, just pop it on the charger at night or every other.
[G2 General] letters_to_cleo:
I could only get about max 2 days on my G2, I envy some of you guys here getting as much as 50+ battery life on your phones' . Just a short question, Aside from the 2x Battery app mentioned by the OP on the first page, Is there other battery saving /task killers (perhaps) you have installed on your phones' to make that extra battery juice up?

Greatly appreciate all the answers. Thanks.
[G2 General] Steamer86:
I have yet to get over 3x hours. SoT for me, however, has been nice. I also rarely go two days without some heavy use. Juice defender ultimate paid works wonders. With this battery though, I haven't bothered. Used it on my Spectrum, worked extremely well between scheduled sync and GPS WiFi location enabler. I'm quite careless with this battery besides removing bloat.
[G2 General] Ryoma1337:
I use Greenify. People say you don't need to be rooted for it, but I've been rooted ever since I got the phone so I don't know how well it works unrooted.
[G2 General] tbob18:
After not touching the phone for 10h :good:

And some battery life (mostly Netflix and 40-50% brightness):

Stock unrooted (for now), but a lot of apps disabled and uninstalled.

My average SOT is about 4.5h over 25-30h (50-75% brightness), something like Netflix is very light on the battery compared to games or even browsing the web.

battery life could be better

Hi all, so I've been reading a lot about the G2 battery life (one of the main reasons I got this phone). So far I love this phone, coming from a Galaxy Nexus this phone is amazing! After hearing so much about how great the battery life is with people getting 6-10 hrs SOT and 2-3 days on a charge (usage pending). I'm a bit disappointed at my battery life.

I average 3 hrs SOT, never got 4 hrs. Average my phone lasts a day and at most 34 hrs. I have D801 stock and rooted with Xposed. Sync is on, Wifi on only when I need, GPS on (turned it off before, didn't seem to make much difference). Location reporting off. And frozen some bloat. I have not tried Greenify, 2x battery, or Snapdragon battery guru yet to extend battery life.

My question is, do all of you use these apps to get those battery stats? I was under the impression that most people get 5+ hours SOT normally and using those apps extends it even more. Not sure what the issue is on my phone. I have BBS and Wakelock detector, doesn't seem to be any app really wakelocking the phone. Although Android OS and Android System is mostly always #1 and #2. Wondering if something is wrong with my phone. Thanks
[G2 General] liti15:
Why do we need something enabled while we dont use that function you are wrong mate
[G2 General] Fastbird:
Battery life on this phone is amazing. I've had it for....today's the 6th day. I've charged it twice just because. When I'm home I don't tend to use it unless I'm making a phone call or texting. Not going out much at all right now (once a day for a few hours maybe) and use it on and off while out (maps, gps, call, text, light browsing). Hasn't been on the charger since about noon yesterday. Took this screenshot about 60 minutes ago now and I'm down to 65% because I just did a ton of photo/video uploading via wifi and kept the screen on for about a half hour.

If I left my old Rezound just sit with Wifi on, it would be dead in 10-12 hours. This is amazing.
[G2 General] yiwsg:
I love your phone idle battery with flat graph. Mind to tell what Rom and kernel you're using? Completely stock?
[G2 General] liti15:
Yes mate completely stock unrooted
[G2 General] vPro97:
Which sensors are you referring to?
[G2 General] greyhd:
I'm using greenify and get 6 hrs screen time with 4G on all time. You must remember some people disabled sync and their battery life is great or they are on wifi as well. I am on digital dream, got rid of all the Verizon bloat, froze apps I don't need, and got rid of those apps that say "test".

Download gsam and see what apps are killing your battery.
[G2 General] waz675:
Yeah I also get great SOT time but I don't use email/gmail polling etc as that's my nexus7 job. Not everyone needs to check emails via phone, especially when there is a bigger screen nearby.

No need to bag out someone just because they don't have similar use or needs of the phone. I love having my G2 for lots of phone talking and great idling and lack of needing daily charging like my HTC ONE X needed unfortunately, with even less use as I do use my phone for web or other stuff when convenient.

Look at the battery section. It says vzw later around 9 while att was 10 and it was done using some test thing.
[G2 General] Steamer86:
Untrue. Though stock, could be with all its bloat, then again,when other carriers IQ kicks in, theirs could be worse. Batteries are the same minus Korean variants, variables are different.
[G2 General] greyhd:
This is not true, well if it's Verizon's phone with all the bloat then probably. I am on VZW and get great battery life. I have no complaints and the G2 is a great phone, just wish they had the 4.4 already.
[G2 General] Fastbird:
I'm at 32 hours so far, 50% life, have about 1.5 or so screen time, and the only "helper" I'm using is X2 battery to shut wifi and network off when screens off. I'm probably going to see how long this one will stretch for. Rooted, debloated, factory rom.
[G2 General] barondebxl:
That's pretty good

I think I ended up at 6hrs+ screen on time when I completely drained it. Mixture of 4g and Wi-Fi, texts, phone calls, checking email, the chive, xda consistently. Aeon Flex rom d800.
[G2 General] tofutown:
I usually get at least 4 hours of SOT but the apps I use aren't CPU hogs or anything. It's mostly just browsing Instagram, surfing the web, email, texting, bacon reader (for reddit), and YouTube videos. As of right now, I've been on battery for 36.5 hours with SOT of 6hours. I've got WiFi and sync on, with brightness of 31%. And I'm only down to 33% battery!

The screenshot is from last week and the expected usage time is ridic, hahaha. It didn't actually last that long, though because I started streaming TuneIn Radio. It's probably the best I'll ever get.
[G2 General] Ekiang3050:
Wow that's pretty amazing. My time remaining slope is never a flat line. I idle at around 2-3% an hour Have you done anything like debloat, Greenify or use any battery extenders to get times like that? What ROM/Kernal you using?
[G2 General] tbob18:
2-3% per hour is pretty excessive. I get about .5% per hour drain or less if I just leave the phone alone. For example I haven't touched the phone for 10hr and it is at 99% still, estimated 500hr remaining on LTE, 3g uses even less power.. I do run it pretty slim though.
[G2 General] Fastbird:
Still going. At something like 37% left and at 47 hours ish now.

[G2 General] Ekiang3050:
Not to bombard you with screen shots. But this is an idea of what I typically get with my battery life. My screen is never the #1 battery drain. Android OS always is. Never usually this high though, not sure why it's over 50% usually it's around 30%

And first time I'm seeing this EntriesRefresh wake lock. Last night I went to bed with 40% battery and woke up with 27%
