I see that your Android OS have high percentage of used battery - same was on my LG G2 until I turned off LG MLT application in service menu: http://android.bswireless.hr/2014/12/lg-g2-android-system-potrosnja-baterije/

It had quite positive impact on battery life and Android OS is 4th on the list of components using battery.
[G2 General] Michalko5896:
Guys, how good is battery life on latest firmware - 20H? I was without my G2 for while and battery life on 20D was amazing.. 40+ hours.. Then I updated to 20F and battery life goes down the toilete - lasting 15 hours was big problem.. So is that problem fixed in 20H?
[G2 General] mothmanex:
Sadly the rom I had doesn't have the MLT. I did disable some useless services. With luck that will do the trick.

My battery life are really bad..

the LG G2 was my brother's phone and i dont know if its rooted or not.

for example when i have 81% battery, Usage on battery is 38 minuts and Estimated time remaining is 2 hours and 55 minutes.

would like to extand my battery life HELP

(I haven't a large knowledge in this area )
[G2 General] ReplayUK:
I also saw poor battery life on 20F but mine is much better now on the latest D80220h
[G2 General] Closed Force:
If anyone

wonders if their battery life is average or not,

you can use simple formula to calculate it, if you score above 100pts you are above average. Read the numbers (Screen On Time & Overall Battery Usage Time) after your battery reaches below 10%.

formula :

SOT x 1 + OBUT x 17

=

for example:

60h of battery life + 3.5h of SOT, would score ~120pts (above average)

24h of battery life + 4h of SOT, would score ~92pts (below average)

P.S. I know the calculation is not perfect but I think it's close enough... would like to see something more precise

[G2 General] darkflyer1983:
F320 has only 2600maH (removable) battery), while international G2 has 3000maH, so yeah expect lower battery life. Anyway, It depends a lot on your usage pattern!

My best stats to date with G2 D802:

- GPS occasionally

=>

- On battery 110h

- SOT~5h , brightness is on automatic 33%

With screenshots. Best performance ever for me. was all the time on 2G, no 3G (I'm on vacations), no location. wifi from time to time to sync email. brightness at 33% with automatic control.

Usually with 3g and location active most of the time it's more like 2h30 SOT.
[G2 General] Tinchoska:
You have excellent battery life but.... Sot .... That's really low... You don't even use the phone... Is it not possible to have more than 60 hours with more than 6 Sot?
[G2 General] Masteryates:
I've just completed my 1st cycle on stock and got 73 hours with 4 hours of SOT. I've not even been conservative with things like screen brightness which is amazing. :victory:

My previous phone was the Nexus 5 and I cant work out how LG have managed to get almost double the battery life with a battery that is only 25% bigger in the LG G2. :confused:

The UI isnt as smooth as the Nexus 5 and not having a recent button sucks. Having said that, an excellent battery and much brighter screen put the G2 ahead in my book. :fingers-crossed:

The max screen time I had on was 5h28min but I got my battery to drain down to 10-15% after watching 4 hours of 720p videos using MX Player HW+ codec enabled. I have GPS enabled, NFC enabled, auto brightness 50% baseline, and WiFi enabled on at work/home. I think the phone was on for about 16 hours at that time with about 1 hour remaining according to GSam but I forgot to take a screenshot.

I'm curious to see if any one had long battery life with watching HD videos. It's still lasted me longer than any other smartphone and I'll probably have to charge it midday depending on usage.
[G2 General] cristy7610:
I have wifi on all the time when I am home and 3g when I;m outside...sometimes bluetooth when I need it ,and sync all the time on...I don't use GPS and the screen is optimized by Lux.45%

I don't understand why I should let open all the functions if I don't use it?!! If I need gps or bluetooth I just slide notifications bar and activate them..simple as that..

I disable network location and some lg stuff and that's it...

I watch some videos on youtube about Lg G2 and all the guys there had all the functions open all the time...Now I get it ..to use all the functions in the same time because is just a smart phone.
[G2 General] theDroidfanatic:
Which one is better for battery, hardware or software decoding?
[G2 General] khaytsus:
Always hardware, it's much more efficient decoding video in the dedicated video decoding hardware than done in SW in the CPU.

Example: Raspberry Pi. Fairly weak CPU, but can play HD video because it has hardware decoding hardware.
[G2 General] KrazyDawg825:
One video I had was able to play back through HW decoding but an anime I was watching only supported SW decoding and I did notice it drain the battery faster.

[G2 General] Steamer86:
Such screen time... Much spotty GPS... Better can.
[G2 General] Cyoptix:
I'm at the house most of the time so I keep it on wifi. But I keep the GPS off and pretty much everything else on. Screen brightness set to 75% non stop until it hits 5% batt life @ which point it goes on the charger.

Phone is rooted and running bigfau's Aeon ROM with stock kernel. Also running some minor GUI tweaks through Xposed. But all bloat ware is removed. More than even the ROM took out lol. Stock kernel so again no voltage tweaks or overclocks. The phone is more than fast enough to run anything out there right now so I didn't see the need to flash a custom kernel.

Reasons for stating this are simply that I see about the same up times on the stock firmware as on Aeon. But with more tweaks that actually matter. Because lets face it. LG has a bad habit of cluttering up the GUI. The G2's drop down shade is a perfect example of that.

Anyways. I'm an insomniac so I am on the device pretty much non stop with the above usage scenario and I get right around 12-13 hrs and more. This is browsing the web. Gaming and watching vids pretty much non stop.

This phones battery is a freaking monster. Not sure why a polymer base battery would produce these up times. But ya have to give them props for it thats for sure.

So that being said. I have a question that hopefully someone can give me a solid answer on because I don't want to mess up my battery.

Can I mess up this batteries memory/charge capacity by not running it down to 5% before I throw it on the charger? I have fully drained it down to 5% several times now with no partial charges in between. So if I do partial charges on it at this point. Can it still mess up the battery or no?
[G2 General] khaytsus:
Assuming you are referring to my post, the gps is expected as I have Tasker Upload my location every 10 Minutes. Never found it to use much battery in reality.
[G2 General] Steamer86:
LG produces batteries for some Motos... All in the ingredients and design... No you will not, there is no memory, just logic. Full drain is actually worse on Li. Partial charges are nothing, leaving it on charge is nothing. Heat will degrade the batteries faster than any cycles. Turn the phone off for 5-10 minutes and it calibrates itself. The charging logic is very smart in the phone. These aren't your old Ni-Ca batteries.

Hey guys,

Could You please write how is Your battery holding up with Kitkat based roms?

I have flashed Slimkat 1.9 beta on my D802 and unfortunately I lose 1 % every 5 minutes with very light use.

Turned off major drainers as location services and using greenify (and ART instead of Dalvik).

Cheers.

Excellent battery life with stock unrooted 32gb international version
[G2 General] kapybarus:
Can debloating really help when unrooted stock roms can achieve these results?
[G2 General] Steamer86:
Of coarse, not as much as rooting as services can be frozen, not just app, but will help. The LG task manager can actually stop some services from disabled apps, not all, from running.
[G2 General] luke10702:
I've been getting just ok battery life, right now I'm at 60% with only 5 hours and 18 minutes with an hour and a half of screen time. This seems quite low not sure what's going on. I'm on sprint rooted with the volume boost mod but I don't really think might that would cause this. Should I exchange the phone?
[G2 General] tannor:
I just got the phone yesterday, on stock, not rooted, charged it yesterday to 100% at 1 pm, is it now 27 hours later and still 49% left, made 1 hour of phone call, and 3 hours on screen time. This is at 29% brightness and this is verizon variant mostly on wifi though.

It still shows 15 hours estimate left, so can probably get 3 more hours of screen time if that is all I do.

Might not be as good as some others in thread, but compared to gnexus this is night and day and I am impressed

Freezing Unified EULA blocks Quickmemo+ from working, at least on CloudyG2 3.3. I doubt it uses any power, no reason to freeze it.

---------- Post added at 06:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:31 PM ----------

Obviously not, because it makes more sense to push the CPU to its thermal max instead of getting 50 hours of normal use.

If you want 50 hours, set the CPU with Dorimanx to run at most at 500 MHz and you can have 50 hours of use.

To be more precise, you would have 50 hours of USELESS use, at that speed.

Since you can charge it every night (and if you are on a hike in the weekend either you don't need the phone or you have a battery pack), no reason to get more than 12 hours of use.

And in fact that's exactly what happens with the latest phones (iPhone, Galaxy S6, ...).

Is it legit? My screen uses all battery in way less than 19 hours. By simply chatting (screen medium brightness, Telegram) I get about 5 hours total.

But now I see your screenshots show no data connection (you have no 3G, no 4G, no H).

In that case I can probably also get many more hours.
[G2 General] Izy:
the 19 hour was seeing how much i could push wth the screen permanently on lowest. used it abit but mostly was airplane. this was before dormanx updated kernel for better battery life.

The 9 Hour one is legit I had wireless data on and waas using it to read ebooks most of the time data was turned off because i need the battery to last for a screenshot lol

I just got my G2, but I can't tell if my battery is average or below average. I am on a stock unrooted rom, & battery dropped about 5-6% in 35-40 minutes straight of using the device, with wifi and sync being the only thing on, in an area getting only 1-2 bars of reception. Should I be worried, or is that normal. Idle battery life is pretty damn amazing(specially when data is off), and it so far in actual usage it is better than my Rezound w/ extended battery I had.

As you can see that is with moderate/poor reception as well so it is just unreal.

AND 1 hour 30 minutes of call time.

This has cemented, in my mind, why the G2 is the best phone this year, and quite possibly ever. Everything about it is excellent except an SD slot. There are no compromises. The screen is terrific, it is ridiculously fast, and battery life is insane, zero bezel design, knock on, rear buttons (this can go either way), light considering the battery inside it. It is just a huge win.

LGG2 Poor battery

I am getting very poor battery life with the new LGG2. I may have to return it for the Droid Maxx. Unless someone has a suggestion for a fix without rooting. I have to have brightness on 60% to be viewable.. at least 60%. Ive seen as much as 30% drop per hour when on my home wifi. that was the first day. Since its about 5% per hour when not used much. With bloatware disables and very few widgets. I am generally go barebones to get the most battery life i can. So far this phone doesnt cut it. One issue is I live in a verizon fringe area 80% of the time no or low signal but verizon is still my best option. But when I'm on wifi the cell data cuts in and out.with the arrows indicating data transfer. . Every other phone Ive had has automatically turned cell data off when on wifi. Sure i can manualyl turn off data then turn it back on, but i shouldnt have to it should be automatic. The gps icon is always on I assume that is normal even though i have it selected off. All location settings off. Nothing jumps out in the battery usage indicator. The screen always uses the most, then android system after that, everything after that is below 1% of the usage. Did I get a defective unit.. Just got it last week, Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance
