I used to have 2% battery loss per night (8hours). Today I lost 8% .. :( Cant figure out whats wrong. Everything (wifi, signal..) is the same. I was checking what apps are running and everything is the same, wakelock detektor also did not say anyhthing.. any advice here?

Thanks
[G2 General] greyhd:
Use Better Battery to get more details. Also any updates to Apps?
[G2 General] Jilke:
There were some updates. I check better battery and did not notice anything special. It looks the phone does what it wants, today I lost only 2% in 6 hours.
[G2 General] spectrox:
This time was a little bit better... what do you think?

on JB im getting +- 2 Days of usage too. Compared to my old S4 this is a very nice runtime. I wonder how much improved it will be with the KK. I'll install the g pro 2 port as soon as V4 is out. looking forward to even better runtimes :D
[G2 General] DopePedaler:
I followed these guidelines before, and had great results. I am using the d3rp g2 rom now, which a lot of the bloat has already been removed. Anyone else on this rom, and had good results with these steps?

Why bluetooth's consumption is so big? Is it the WIFI ? I got always wifi and 3g (internet connection) on.. I need them on because of my work (email synchronization). Any suggestions?

PS. Stock Rom 4.4.2 (unrooted)

sad to know, hope you get it resolved quickly.

my phone gave 10h+ screen on time total stock.

I am not a flashohlic and have never flashed a rom while using htc in last 3 years, but this room is filled with lots of stuff and feels heavy at times. So i finally went ahead and put Cyanogenmod 10.2 Stable build in it. :) Will put Cyanogen 11 once it hits stable as i don't want to flash everyday.

[G2 General] gloup81:
actually, it's easy to get over 50hrs of battery time... i took these screenshots today

42 hours, with 6:38 screen time @ 50% with lots of photo shooting and candy crashing, constant wifi on (except during my sleep time)
[G2 General] Tinchoska:
Which kernel? Dori's?

[G2 General] vlen22:
Hang on, does this mean that mine is decent in terrms of battery life?

4 hours of screen time with 54 percent brightness.

5 Minutes of twitch, 1 hour snd fourty minutes with chrome, and 30 minute texting with only 9 percent remaining.

Stock lg rom
[G2 General] gloup81:
the screen is more time on than the whole phone is awake? that's strange to me
[G2 General] vlen22:
I based it off of memory, but I believe I used other apps as well, but no games so far.
[G2 General] coburn_c:
Something bizarre happened the other day. I did 5 hours of screen on and 2 days standby, recharged and then I did 5 days of standby.. then on the next charge it ate 50% of battery life in 13 hours of standby. Restarted and now it's back to 3 days standby and one hour screen with 60% of battery remaining. Nothing in the usage pointed to the problem. Quite mysterious.
[G2 General] cukrus:
i used an automated app that turns my phone to flight mode when im on my shift and sleeping. 137 hours of battery :}

Wake up with flight mode off(was on during sleep)

during shift flight mode on,but off on my break automaticly (we have scheduled breaks)

Shift finish,flight mode off 10 minutes before to pull all the notifications and stuff

so yeah. 137 with few % left
[G2 General] Mattecko99:
What is the app?
[G2 General] waz675:
Tasker I would say

[G2 General] archzz:
Seems like my battery life is a bit better with the kitkat update.
[G2 General] samleung:
Had abysmal battery since day one, and it got worse after the kit kat update. Full stock, battery stats indicate high android kernel usage. LG service center says nothing is wrong with my phone...
[G2 General] greyhd:
How do you use your phone? Download better battery and post the screen shots.
[G2 General] samleung:
Before I upgraded, better battery stats showed Facebook messenger and Google search waking up the phone quite a bit. I greenified the former and disabled Google now.

Because I don't have root, bbs can't look into wakelocks.

Gsam shows that the android kernel is running about 60% of app usage.

I am a teacher, I wake up early and use the phone for my 25 min commute. During school hours I use my phone sparingly but I am getting the stats as posted earlier.
[G2 General] greyhd:
Disable facebook messenger and see what you have synced. Use greenify to disable apps you are not using.

Do you use tasker or llama?
[G2 General] SPBoss:
Looks like he has a wakelock problem. Theres no way kitkat would do that or lg wouldnt release the update to every phone!
[G2 General] greyhd:
LOL, not every phone, VZW likes to torture us.
[G2 General] Blade_44:
Good result...i love g2 battery
[G2 General] greyhd:
Try wakelock detector as well.
[G2 General] samleung:
I am not rooted and can't use it anymore. As stated previously, I used it on 4.2 and detected that Facebook Messenger and Google Search hogged lots of memory. I first greenified Messenger, then uninstalled it in addition to disabling Google Now.

Typically I use my phone for 1hr of screentime (no music tasks etc) during my work from 7am to 4pm. I don't think my phone should be draining the way it did.
[G2 General] greyhd:
Might be the bloatware on your phone.
[G2 General] samleung:
Running an international version. In the apps menu of settings I've disabled all the LG stuff I could.
[G2 General] stanley08:

nice ! wait a minute :D it this the same stanley from android group on facebook ? :D

and btw people have gotten very nice results in other states, in my area yhe 3g signal constantly ddrops down and switches to 2g and goes back to 3g! this drains my battery a LOT in standby. i've set manually to 2g now :\

Same here mate! :D Looking to buy G3 in 2nd part of the year. And Z2 in April. So i'm always stalking battery life threads on both G2 and Z1 forums to see what is going on and have an idea of what their successors would be like. But truth is, I'm still in doubt.
[G2 General] superjohan:
27hours standby and 40mins screen time = 15 % drain for me. You do the the math.

Running CM11 and havnt touched anything to better my batterylife.

[G2 General] mor_1228:
guys ... is battery really bad on kitkat when compared with jellybean
[G2 General] Mattecko99:
I feel like screen on times over 6 hours Is a joke. People probably just sit on some website and don't do anything else.
[G2 General] liti15:
No mate is not true, sure if you play games normally wont be 10 hours but surfing,chating,take photos it will do 10 hours screen time
[G2 General] peterhejlejensen:
About 3.5 hours of screen time

About 3.5 hours of on screen. No wifi but tried getting 3g to work for about an hour.
[G2 General] Willianme:

[G2 General] foxracer89:
I cant even get near to your results. I've got sync and internet always on+fb app and messenger/hangouts. Both fb apps greenifyed.

I did small, most probably not conclusive, test. I have opened Chrome app (screen brightness 60% auto, so I'd say around 20-30%) and started browsing mobile website with constant use of screen (scrolling/loading). I got almost exactly 4 min for every 1%. Easy math tells me that my max is ~6,5h of constant web browsing. Which is not even near your results!

I almost always get ~24h with ~4h of SOT. I've recently changed from stock 4.2.2 to OptimusRS Pro2 port and battery drain is very similar.... Any ideas what to do?
[G2 General] wgilles:

I haven't tried to freeze apps yet but still get about 3 days on low use
[G2 General] greyhd:
Thank you, but I still show 4G and no other option to switch to 3G.
[G2 General] LukaaBeck:

[G2 General] wgilles:
How are you liking the Dorimanx kernel? I'm thinking of flashing it today. Any custom settings you're using on it or anything?
[G2 General] faithraze:
Dude I think thats normal, for me, data always on, wifi on if available, stock kitkat, no root. 6 hours SOT time 25 hours. Those who get 75 hours, probably not even using internet or wifi or anything. Whats the use of a smartfone then? Anyhow, thats my opinion.

---------- Post added at 08:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:37 PM ----------

Not sure why its appearing like that in the system settings, but in battery stats, bluetooth doesnt consume any battery. Kitkat bug probably. Still, I was able to get a clear cut 6 hours SOT, 25 hours phone. Data and wifi always on, bbm, fb, wechat, NO ROOT. Completely KITKAT STOCK. this phone is already amazing as stock. Root is available but not gonna do until custom recovery becomes available.
[G2 General] DopePedaler:
I've been on kitkat for the past three days. Battery is worse than when I was running PA, Cm or Slimkat. I'm having sound issues also, like I'm still on an AOSP rom.
[G2 General] mor_1228:
agree
[G2 General] jeyd02:
I was too until I switched to stock based Rom specially g pro 2, and my battery has been heaven.
[G2 General] DopePedaler:
This rom you speak of, which one is it? I debating on Factory resetting my phone, and starting from scratch again.
[G2 General] jeyd02:
Cloudy pro 2. I didn't have to factory reset just wipe and install kk baseband then the room and boom I'm set.
[G2 General] eddie3130:
Wats up guys. Ive been running on a Sprint Note 2 since launch.. I easily get 6+ hours of screen on time. Any ways ive been thinking bout downsizing to the G2.. More easy to handle one handed. Just wanted to say thanks for all the great post making my decision alot easier.
[G2 General] SPBoss:
Stock settings just overclocked to 2.4ghz. I can get over 9 hours screen time if i leave it at 2.2ghz. Hope that helps
[G2 General] DopePedaler:
Once kit Kat is out fully, we should put in our debloats, and uninstalls also, so we can make that rom have a good battery life. Mine is doing horrible on my Sprint g2. Almost twelve hours since fully charged, I'm at 25 percent left. Any pointers?
[G2 General] R0gersism:
Whats your screen on time?
[G2 General] Mattecko99:
Is this on 4.2.2?
[G2 General] DopePedaler:
What app is everyone using for the over/under clocking?
[G2 General] wgilles:
So far I like it a lot. My battery is still settling after flashing a rom but it seems like it improved battery a little. I've been using it to underclock when I'm not using my phone heavily
[G2 General] waz675:
Wakelock detector and betterbatterystats. No one else can see if any apps are sucking juice at all. But of course as some one said, what is your screen on time. If you're complaining about your total time and you have like 8 hours screen on time with 25% left, then we can't really help at all. If you have like.3 hours or 4 with that time, then some help may occur, mostly with the 2 apps/work I said.
[G2 General] DopePedaler:
Thanks for the info. I'll get a screen shot of sot next time. Just downloaded wake lock detector. Top ones were Google search, camera, and a hand I had open, also snapdragon battery app. Using that also to see if it'll help the battery. Another use mentioned to let the battery drain twice, after film charges, and use the snapdragon app as well.
[G2 General] popcenator:
Half my day is spent in a location with poor coverage, I envy some of you

on the move..
[G2 General] faithraze:
61 hours, 5 hours screen time

For me this is acceptable, how about for the rest of you guys? Completely stock KITKAT, data always on, only on 3G coz my network has limited area for 4G, wifi when available. Social, games, asphalt a little bit.
[G2 General] coowkeee:
I'm on stock KK now,

at 43%,

Usage on battery: 33hrs

Screen time on: 1hr 8m

and coming from stock JB, I can say that KK battery life is not good. Usually at 60% I can get my phone to 33hrs with 3hrs screen time.

Well, in KK, when phone is idle for a long time it shows only 1% activity, but when I use the phone it drains battery fast unlike in JB. :(
[G2 General] faithraze:
Really, hmmm wonder why. Last battery cycle I had 6 hours screen on time with 25 hours, i used the phone a lot. As always data and/or wifi always on. I disabled some apps that can be disabled via settings only. No root.
[G2 General] coowkeee:
Yeah, it is weird and I don't know why. My wifi is on at 8am-3am. Because of this I can't use the phone I usually do with stock JB. I'm rooted and I used Greenify for some apps and TitaniumB for freezing some system apps like I do when I'm on JB. Sleep time was ok I only losses 1%-3% in 8hrs sleep but when using it, it drains fast unlike on jb. :/
[G2 General] SPBoss:
Yes kitkat was terrible so i went back to 4.2.2 with xposed
[G2 General] jeyd02:
Guys make sure you disable Google location reporting and history off.
[G2 General] Tinchoska:

[G2 General] foxracer89:
I've got same issue as you do. While idle the phone isn't draining much battery, but when I start using it I got same results as you (maybe slightly better, but around the same). I've never had any diffrent results as from beginning though. I cant get more than 4,5h SOT and 24-35h standby. Greeinify, always sync and data on, and wifi when available (which is 50% of SOT).
[G2 General] wgilles:
I would just like to point something out to everyone. While we can post screen shots of SOT anywhere from 4-9 hours, keep in mind that you don't know how those users are using their phones and it can vary from how you use your phone. If you are getting 4 hours of SOT and you are using your phone normally and that makes you happy, then don't go chasing an extra 5 hours of SOT...it's just not going to happen. I'm currently at apprx 2 hours SOT with 54% battery left, so logic tells me I will get about 4 hours SOT and I haven't been using my phone any more or less than normal.

Your use will dictate how much SOT you use, especially if you are using battery hungry apps/games, etc. IMO, if you can make it a day on a charge with heavy use, then be happy.

TL;DR be happy with the battery life you are getting, it is most likely perfect for how you use your phone.
[G2 General] jeyd02:
Yeah, I know that over time they will not give to much importance (well most ppl :) ) to battery hours and such. I have noticed the first weeks or months when getting a very good upgrade phone we tend to be concerned of the performance of our newly bought phone. Thus we try to make like battery and more better as comparing to other people. But as time passes by they'll find themselves just using the phone and accepting the best working daily that the phones gives them. Part of adaptation. After all everyone uses the phone differently so obviously we all will vary in battery use. :) enjoy this beastly phone.
[G2 General] SPBoss:
Stock 4.2.2 (kitkat sucks on battery), dorimanx kernel (default settings) greenified most useless apps, location is turned off, sync is on only for whatsapp and gmail.

Bear in mind my area is very bad signal. If i had good signal battery would last even longer. Hope this helps :)
[G2 General] greyhd:
Have a link to the dorimanx kernel?
[G2 General] c411umuk:
Had to go on a bus trip the other day. I watched 2 x 720p .mkv movies (Filth & Prisoners) with subtitles enabled totaling around 4 hours in play time on full brightness using MXPlayer. Battery had 45% left.

I don't really play any games on Android, so 8 hours of screen time is a common occurrence for me over the course of 48 hours.

Awesome phone, awesome battery.
[G2 General] wgilles:
Here you go: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2614400
[G2 General] coowkeee:
Yup, you're correct. I know other people only charges their phone 80%, so when they charge again til 80%, the SOT of two charge combines that's why they get 5-6hrs SOT. And also by making a high end phone useless also gets that kind of SOT.

I'm happy when I'm on JB, but also wanted to try KK and it makes me sad. The way I used my phone on JB is same as KK but in KK I got bad battery life and I think I should be sad. I don't have any problem even I only get 3-4hrs SOT in JB, but in KK I can't get near to 3hrs SOT. Now I returned to JB, and waiting for custom recovery for KK because I think only custom kernels can fix this problem.
[G2 General] wgilles:
That is the same reason I am hesitant to try KK...I've heard nothing but battery problems. I will wait for a stable ROM and for the Dorimanx kernel to be stable for KK before I try it out. I know Dori expects to have a KK kernel out soon, if he doesn't already. I've been keeping an eye on the new KK Resurrection Remix ROM as it looks promising.
[G2 General] jeyd02:
You don't have to be afraid with KK. There are some nice stock Roms that will give you days of usage and even 10 hrs of Ost
[G2 General] wgilles:
Good to know. I'm also on the VZW variant so I'm waiting for the official OTA to come out so I can go back to stock, get OTA and flash a KK ROM without worrying about bricking my phone. I know there are ways to do this now and I'm capable of doing it, I'm just paranoid...maybe I should download Paranoid Android hahaha
[G2 General] jeyd02:
What has work for me was disabling Google now reporting location request and history report.
[G2 General] Rajaasim1980:
Can someone explain to me why first 50 percent battery usage give 5 hour screen on time and next 50 percent just 3 hour when doing exactly same stuffs and settings on kit kat
[G2 General] Mattecko99:
Be lucky you even get 5 Hours. I only get 4 total.
[G2 General] Rajaasim1980:
I get 7 to 8 hour screen on time but as i said battery drain quickly after reaching to 50 percent and i dont know the reason for it. First 50% petcent always givd me between 4 to 5 hour

Something is seriously wrong with your lg g3 if it give you only 4 hour
[G2 General] Mattecko99:
I think you mean G2. And not a lot of people get as much screen time as you. Sometimes it's a rarity.
[G2 General] greyhd:
I get around 6 hrs SOT and 50 hrs standby. I just switched to dorimanx kernel and see how that goes. I think the SOT depends on how you use the phone and what is synced.
[G2 General] moocamr:
Yep same happens to me 4 to 4:30 sot in first 50 % without over charging on 100 % but at the end i get 6:30 at the most on 15% :( somthing wrong with this battery??
[G2 General] wgilles:
I honestly can't remember a smart phone I had where the bottom half of the battery did not drain quickly. It's like the fuel gauge on some cars, the first half a tank takes forever to go down and the second half goes away after pulling out of your driveway. I don't think anything is wrong, it happens to me too.
[G2 General] jeyd02:
Yeah its quite interesting. Like when I charge my phone fully, the "100%" stays for like 1-3 hrs then the rest of the value go down really fast. I want accurate battery reading :(
[G2 General] letters_to_cleo:
After upgrading to Kitkat. I never am so happier with the battery life of my phone. If JB made 30% juice out of my phone..KK have just 15%.

Man I could never be happier upgrading my phone to KK
[G2 General] Tinchoska:
Same here, but it happens on every phone I had it's normal for me... but I found a balance on Dori's kernel v3.2.1 using alucard....

Hell of a phone!

This thing is a beast! Flashed CM11 and Micro Modular GApps, and it's running like hell! Overnight I only turn off data, and I loose about 3-4% in 9 hours. SOT is about 5 to 6h hours. I think I could get more SOT, but I'm a heavy Spotify user (3-4 hours a day) and I got my pebble connected 24/7.

Never thought I would say this. But I like the back buttons way more than the conventional button setup. I'm glad I ditched my Z1 compact for this. Couldn't be happier with this phone.
