I get about 7.5 Hrs screen time (50% Brightness) with 15% battery left. (Stock ZVC Unrooted)

People just need to be careful about Location Settings & Autosync when not needed it can deplete a nice amount.

---------- Post added at 01:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:11 AM ----------

You can also achieve that just disable location settings/autosync when not used,

disable junk apps: Lumen, Life Square, LGQVoice, Swype (Connect drains battery for some even when all online settings are disabled), Life Square, TextTranslator (autoruns sometimes)

. Use task manager to auto block Sprint ID and Sprint Zone or any other carrier junk). Sprint/AT&T Connections Optimizers actually drain battery too ironically. If rooted you can delete that stuff, but im not.

Also before I factory reset after Kitkat I was getting around 6Hrs screen time all the same settings, guess something got screwed up before.
[G2 General] Dkrizzle:
Sigh. Im starting to wonder why I returned my moto x for this phone when im getting this battery life. Ive tried it all, disabling carrier iq, uninstalling bloatware, greenify,

I've got the same results or even worse. Turning off location etc doesnt help. I'm clueless what to do. And I dont think my seller will exchange my phone since it's still "not bad" battery life :(

So here are my results:

6% left, about 14h off charger, about 7h15min screen on time with wifi/4G always on, Display on Auto Brightness.

I played about 5h Pokémon today on GBCoid Gameboy Color Emulator. (I'm lovin it :victory: )

Also I use the G2 Xposed module with Immersive Bleed Mode and other IMHO battery draining mods.

I'm using the P.A.C.Rom Nightly from April 16th.

Great runtime, simply a great Phone! :good:

Didn't use my phone much in last few days and it went on for 100+ hours on single charge :)
[G2 General] Sebba513:
I've been pretty annoyed that I could only get 3 - 4 hours SOT for daily usage, so I decided to just leave the screen on whenever I wasn't really using it to see what I could get. So 11 hours isn't daily use, so meh.. but I want more of daily use.

VS980 Battery problem

Hi Guys,

I have VS980, I dont use it as a phone, its always in airplane mode. The battery life is poor on this device. I only get 13 hrs out of it even on idle. I have tried with different ROMs and tried without Google apps, checked wakelocks and found no reason why this phone is given so low backup. I have tried all what I could, can you guys help me to resolve this issue?

Once I have reverted to stock as well no improvement. The battery usage on screen off is higher than its on on screen. Let me know what details you need from my side I will provide all. Kindly help me get over this problem, I will be grateful.

Thanks.
[G2 General] hamedhd:
in my experience, i think sometime screwing with system apps can increase google play service and kernel usage, i mean removing and greenifing or disabling in amplify app, i had a terrible battery life with custom kernel and greenify and amplify and much apps disabled, but after clean flash, now i have a great battery life even without those apps
[G2 General] Ace42:
The battery could be defective, since 13hrs standby time is extremely low for airplane.

Sent From Capsule Corp.
[G2 General] hellboyborn:
This thing came into my mind as well but it does not look like having defective battery. Today I unchecked the "allow WI-fi" scanning from the wifi advanced settings and for complete one hour it stayed on 100%. I noticed one more thing is once it starts decreasing it does not stop after that. So to check the battery health I ran the PCmark test for battery and it gave me result of almost 5hrs. 5hrs continuous in use is quite satisfactory for this device. One more thing I observed is that once its full charged and I reboot it, after that if I attempt to unlock it , it does not unlock in one go, I need to do tapping attempt twice or thrice, at this time it looks like it goes in deep sleep mode and this time only it stays on 100% for long time. Once its wake after that it always wakes in one attempt.

Please suggest something if you guys have any info about it.
[G2 General] siggey:
If all stock probably wifi hardware failure

U should not try to make any conclusions from 100% battery.
[G2 General] marosteeha:
Yup, like the guy said before. This phone is well know for staying at 100% a lot more than its normal, but after that is starts loosing percentages at a normal rate.
[G2 General] SmokeyTech1:
These battery lifes are very impressive ( well for me) my G3 only has 2H SOT, going to use my uncles old Droid Razr Maxx HD until i can get my G3 sold, probably going to get the G2, local carrier has it for about $300

[G2 General] zathus:
This is in no way shape or form realistic..it was me messing around when I was using a different phone.

Max standby time..not in airplane mode..data was on the whole time..

And max SOT.
[G2 General] ktetreault14:
My max standby was like 250 hours on grola. 35% leftover
[G2 General] Noam23:
These results mimic mine very closely in all criteria. These are good results!
[G2 General] Noam23:
I did some further thinking about the "Held awake" feature:

- You can go to the "screen" details (image attached) and see how much battery drain there was when the screen was off, which should include the "Held awake" drainage (but also deep sleep). As long as this number is small (like 5%, in my example), you know it's a non-issue, no matter how much the phone was held awake.

- In the App Sucker screen, you can arrange by held awake time. If the apps that held the phone awake the most time, didn't drain the battery much, then you know it's a non issue. For example, I did this now, and saw that "Rocket Player" was the app that hold my phone awake for the most time (28 minutes), yet, when I see how much power it drew, it only drew 0.4% of the battery, which is insignificant.

If you consider these two above points, you can figure out whether your phone held awake time drain the battery to any significant extent.
[G2 General] djraimondi:
See that is very interesting. Your battery only drained 5% while off. Mine drained 33% while it was off. So what is keeping mine draining and yours not?
[G2 General] Noam23:
According to your pictures, it was probably Google Play music... It appears number one in your app sucker, and it doesn't need an active screen...
[G2 General] djraimondi:

[G2 General] Noam23:
Two things:

1. Take a look at your Phone radio - it used 18.1% of the battery, this is quite a lot (most of us get half of that, if not less), and most of it could easily been drawn when the screen was off.

2. Your phone was on for 13 hours, while you only used it for one hour, such usage will give more weight for the screen-off drainage. Your battery is only at 73%, use it until 10%, and you'll see that the off-screen drainage will be drastically reduced (btw, this could also be the reason why you got such high phone radio drainage, because the phone didn't do much more than be connected to the network... this is just a guess though, I really need to see the phone radio details screen to be sure). This is a comparative thread, and results will mostly have comparative meanings if we try to all post it after (or nearing) a full battery discharge.
[G2 General] djraimondi:
I know I will post again was just saying. Also again my service is terrible and I have yet to get above a steady signal of number 3 (medium). Perhaps my screen off drainage is directly related to signal.

Remember how it was said I have terrible service but my phone wasn't using a lot? Perhaps it isn't categorized as my phone, maybe it is put under screen off usage and that's were you see my battery drain from my terrible service.
[G2 General] Noam23:
Doesn't seem very logical to me.. but anything is theoretically possible. Post your full discharge results (all screens, together with phone-radio and screen and everything, not just the main one) and we'll see.
[G2 General] citytrader:
I suggest to the people to go under APP Usage, select View Num Times Waking Device, there you will find the application that drains battery, the higher the number, the worse
[G2 General] djraimondi:
Back again with complete usage results. I took the advice of going into check the number of apps that cause the most wakelocks. Found a not so pleasant surprise....

To my knowledge I have EVERYTHING Google related turned off. I do not sync email, photos, etc. I do not have location services on, I have been through every Google app and explicitly denied it permission to do just about anything. I actually click the Google Services -> Manage -> and Disabled it. I have yet to have an adverse effect from disabling Google Services. Can anyone enlighten me on what this does specifically?

Also again 46% of my battery is being drained while my phone is locked. This is bothering me a lot. I did listen to about 2 hours worth of music today, but I still don't see how that much power should be drained... I'm still conviced that the searching for signal and poor signal problems are categorized under "Battery used while screen off". Especially since I didn't make any phone calls what else could it be?

I kinda miss my Motorola Blurr UI sometimes. Simple, effective, and very close to stock Android. I love this phone and it has all the potential but it is looking like I'm definitely going to have to root and flash a custom ROM.
[G2 General] Noam23:
I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss GSam battery Monitor as an effective and accurate measurement tool. I chose it because it is the best tool.

First of all, I don't really see wakelocks as being a problem in your situation. Those apps that caused the most wake events, didn't draw any significant amount of power (but you really should have included the list of apps that held awake the device the most).

You got 35% discharge with screen on, and 46% discharge with screen off, and this troubles you. I still believe everything can be easily explained by your tendency to use the Google Play Music app. It cost you almost 15% of the battery directly (while the screen is OFF), and indirectly maybe a couple of other percentages, via other services that it use (Android system/System UI, etc.). If, for example, you would have browsed the internet instead of listening to music with the screen closed, those 15% would have been drawn while the sceen is ON, and the discharge ratio would have reversed to something like 50%/30% in favor of screen ON, and maybe even better.

You can't really complain about screen-off drainage, while the most battery hungry application that you use, cannibalizes your battery when your screen is off (Google play music). Talking about an elephant in the room... Before you jump to conclusions that GSam is wrong by the way it shows statistics, I suggest that you do not use Google Play Music (or any other music app) during the following discharge, and post results. *IF* you'll still get much more battery drain in OFF state than ON, then I would have to agree with you that something with GSam is off.

EDIT:

On a second thought, you can use Google Play Music if you'd like. But, please write the hours that you've used it (not only how much time, but also exactly when - specific times in the day), and in additional to all the regular GSAM screens, this time also provide the "Battery History" screen, in landscape, showing by "others" (please see my attached image, this is the way I want it). This will make it easy to see if your drainage when the screen is off is something more general that is caused by your weak reception (like you think), or mainly because of the Google Play Music (like I think).

EDIT2:

Another test that could show whether your off-screen drainage is caused by cellular reception, is charging the phone to 100%, and then disconnect it from the electricity just before you go to bed. After you get up in the morning, take all the GSam screen shots (including battery history), and it will be easier to see what is responsible for the off-screen drainage.
[G2 General] djraimondi:
I didnt have time to analyze any of these. But it still looks like my phone is causing my battery drain. Does android system control the hardware for the network reception? If so it could explain why android is always so high.

[G2 General] citytrader:
In the number of applications that causes wakelocks, you need to go inside each group to see the list of services that are causing them, without this, is no possible to arrive to any conclusion.
[G2 General] Noam23:
You lost no more than 5% overnight which is totally normal. You don't have any problems with weak signal draining your battery. In my opinion Google Play music is the app to blame for your off screen drainage.

I think that your weak cellular reception will drain your battery only if you'll make lots of phone calls or use much mobile data.
[G2 General] djraimondi:
I haven't used Google play yet. So you have my morning times and I will post later today my final times. I'm already at 81% with minimal usage.
[G2 General] mertbba:
It seems like you downloaded 1 GB on Wi-Fi, which can actually explain the battery use. I don't know why would the system download 1 GB of data though.
[G2 General] Noam23:
Here is another excellent cycle of battery life that I had. All GSam screens are included for reference (App Sucker is included 3 times, one according to power drawn, one according to held awake time, and one according to number of times waking the device. I also included the *wakelock* screen, because it kept the device awake for the longest).

Yes, screen-on time was only a bit less than 5 hours, but many hours were spent browsing the internet (using Opera browser) which is a very battery draining task (as you can see almost 19% of the battery was drained by Opera mobile).
[G2 General] djraimondi:
I was using Google play music app. I have my music stored on the cloud. I downloaded three albums but I did it over WiFi. That was expected.
[G2 General] cggorman:
Here are my stats from today. Fairly typical work day.

MediaServer and Neutron hold hands and run all day.

I think that Lux is messing with the screen brightness reporting. I've got it set so that its around 70-80% backlight during the workday.
[G2 General] Noam23:
System *wacklock* is butchering your battery (almost 40%!!). You claim it works hand in hand with Neurton all day, but how could it take almost 3X the battery usage of Neutron ??
[G2 General] shaneel1491:

Ebay has them for 200 new if you get lucky.

I'm using Optimus G3 ROM and an enjoying the same OS you have now.

Everything is very fast, reliable and when held side by side with a G3 The only only thing you'll notice is a slight and I mean slight decrease in resolution (1080p).

If your eyes are fine with that you'll enjoy the G2 and the better battery life
[G2 General] SmokeyTech1:
Thanks for replying! I bought a galaxy alpha a few days ago, got a good deal on eBay, I tried the camera on the G2 and didn't like it, nor the G3, my G3 had some artifacts on the screen and it made it look bad, but thanks though, that's some good battery life.
[G2 General] tomkow4:
I know I know not Gsam, but I had to put it somewhere relevant, especially that it's worth showing.

I think I pushed a record here. I got... 160h, with 5h20min SOT + 50min talk time (not showing up, but I added up the calls I've made).

Yes this is on one charge. Yes, I use the phone - just not heavily. I have been pushing over 100h for a while now, attached also screens from Kitkat (Lightning rom+Dorimanx kernel) - they have a darker theme.

Now... I'm running stock Lollipop (30a), rooted, debloated. Wifi was on 70% of the time. I turn off synchronization and location, don't really see the point. I know where I am 99% of the time and I don't have an itch to check every email as it arrives. The only thing running in the background is Whatsapp. The rest is mostly greenified. But that's not the whole story and I think that's my secret formula - I turn off LTE. I'm running 2g/3g auto in the wireless settings. If I'm out of WIFI's reach, HDSPA is totally fine IMO. But the difference in standby time is huge.
[G2 General] cggorman:
I can't answer that, but I know running neutron with all the bells and whistles turned on will murder a battery. My GNex in the same situation would be shut-down-dead in 6 hours. I had three batteries for that phone.
[G2 General] Noam23:
Seems like an inefficient app.
[G2 General] meld:
Forget when this happen
[G2 General] Noam23:
Really nice screen-on time, meld. It's a real shame that you did not provide us with the rest of the GSam screens (like App Sucker, Phone radio, Screen, etc.) so we could see what are the fine details behind this excellent screen-on time.
[G2 General] meld:
Yeah, too bad :silly:

If i remember correctly top of app sucker is cartoon war :laugh:
[G2 General] djpeesh:
I get a little over 3 hours of screen time.
[G2 General] toastyy:
Barely 4 hours screen on with 16h usage. Does the app sucker look normal to you?

Compared to the 10 screen on times I see here, I'm not super impressed with mine. Though I know service at my house is between 1 and 2 bars... Next time I'll post the graph with signal strength.

I'm on the 5th discharge I think, I have noticed an improvement with each.. Or at least I think I have, could be placebo.
[G2 General] djraimondi:
New update on my battery. I think this is the best I have gotten so far. I still think my battery drain while my screen off is way too high. I believe this phone has potential to get much much better battery. I have included basically every screenshot.

Hi guys i will post my stats after a full charge cycle later on. But please help me here, this is my first time using lg phone so what i am facing here is this i can't get my battery history since charged or unplugged its always since boot and every time i boot my battery history is reset.

So is this normal or what?, i used to own a Galaxy note 2, and the battery history was always since charged or unplugged.

I used Gsam and better battery stats, but they too are reset and don't give me the real battery history. i don't know what to do with this, i have posted my issue in the help section and no one answered back. Please do help.:good:
[G2 General] djpeesh:
Getting about 4 hours plus of screen time these days. Pretty happy. Everything turned on (gps, bluetooth, wifi)
[G2 General] Noam23:
I can't see any particular battery drain from anything you've posted. In my opinion it could be that you are using the screen with too much brightness in comparison to other people.. You can try lux brightness control, but if you mostly use it in the sun, nothing really could be done..
[G2 General] Noam23:
Not bad. But your Phone Radio is sucking a lot of juice (21%, when for me it's usually about 7%). You could have gotten another 1-2 hours screen-on time, if you had good radio phone signal.
[G2 General] djpeesh:
Dumb reply but have checked in the setting under preferences? I've attached screenshots so you can change the settings in gsam. Apologies if you've already done this.
[G2 General] Rashad83:
Ty np, but yeah I did that already. It still resets once you reboot. The only way is to create a custom reference but with doing that you lose the last statics.

I think most of you are doing the measuring without reboot, if that's true then I am paranoid for nothing, it's an LG thing.
[G2 General] kutavyz:

Please follow the guidelines of this thread:

1. Only GSAM battery monitor.

2. Post *All* screens of GSAM battery monitor.

3. Only when your battery reaches 10%.

If you give me all this, I might be able to help you.
[G2 General] djraimondi:
I'd also like to note. If you are using lux brightness control... While it works great, it will always show the screen as using 100% dim. Just a little FYI. So results may very on screentime because of lux depending on if you're in bright or dim places.
[G2 General] kutavyz:
Sorry about this. That's what I get for not reading all correctly. I'll upload my results tomorrow ;).
