Watched a movie, played hill climb racer for an hour or so. Watched about 20 nexus 5 vids on YouTube. Read a lot of internet stuff, watched another movie. I was purposely trying to keep the screen on. Just to see the best I could get.
[G2 General] Noam23:
The two movies that you watched were played from a local file on the device? How long were these two movies in total?
[G2 General] G1_enthusiast:
what brightness are you at?
[G2 General] Noam23:
He's mainly using dark/dim brightness, though it's also important to understand where his manual brightness slider is located, because this affects the automatic brightness too.
[G2 General] Rashad83:
Hi guys as promised after a full charge, I have used my phone mostly for browsing, 1 phone call, a couple of times playing with camera. My brightness was set at 38 all the time. So what do you think?, my next test will be using the wifi all day. Oh I should also mention that I greenify my downloaded apps plus Google play services and Google play, and I turn off sync when not using device.

-So at 2% of battery i turned off my phone to charge and my total use of wifi was 7H and 15min.
[G2 General] Noam23:
I find it quite bewildering: you said that you mostly used the device for browsing, so I would have assumed that we'll see the browser app as one of the main battery suckers, but it's not even on the main screen ??? how could this be ? which browser are you using ?

Moreover, are you using Lux brightness control ? (because you seem to be using only dark brightness, which is what happens when you use lux brightness control) and if so, why are using a manual brightness (38) ? whats the point of using lux brightness control if you use manual brightness ? and in any case, if you used 38 brightness all the time, this could explain your excellent screen-on time, since it's very very low battery drainer in comparison to like 70 percent brightness (which most use). If you would have used 70 percent brightness, I guess you would have gotten 3-4 hours of screen-on time, instead of over 7...

Doing what ? sex ? house chores ? does she approve ??
[G2 General] Rashad83:
lol, sorry for the typo there hehe :o. Any way you are right for not being specific what i meant by browsing was using the applications that use the internet like Facebook,twitter,Google+,xda,.... if there was any links i would be using the stock browser not chrome. for the brightness i am not using any app, i just set my brightness to manual 38.

Didn't see this one... 60% baseline with auto on. Makes it like....30% I guess indoors.
[G2 General] zathus:
Also, I'm sensing scepticism. Here's my normal days usage so far. Which is on pace for 7 to 8 hours on screen time. 42% brightness all day. What can I say, I'm getting great battery life/ shrug
[G2 General] jayochs:
not bad. best I've ever gotten on any phone, actually. lol
[G2 General] Noam23:
It will be interesting to see the rest of your GSAM screens...
[G2 General] imkr1:
Fly mode... brightness fixed at 65%
[G2 General] Noam23:
This is very nice screen on time, imkr1. But I see you're using airplane mode...

It will be interesting to see your other gsam screen and not just the main screen...
[G2 General] kutavyz:
Thanks for your reply.

In several days I'll post another time my results because I'm worried about the high Android OS power consumption.

Here are my stats from my last full charge.
[G2 General] tripster:
Here's my stats. Based on an AT&T stock ROM, non-rooted phone. Also, I'm controlling my brightness manually, no Lux.
[G2 General] tripster:
I failed to list a bit of info for context.

I've turned off/disabled a few things: Daydream, Google Backup My Data, Access to My Location (GPS), NFC, GPS (unless I was using the map), Hangouts, City ID, & some ATT apps (Drive Mode, Family Map, Locker, Messages, Navigator, Ready2Go, Smart Wifi).

I'm running (1) push exchange email, (2) gmail and (3) POP accounts.
[G2 General] Noam23:
Skins, you're not suppose to charge the phone before taking the screen shots... your results are meaningless... you were supposed to discharge the phone from 100% to 10%, then post results (without charging).
[G2 General] Noam23:
inpherknow and tripster,

You both post insanely good battery lives.

Still, when I try to see what you actually do with the phone (by going through your app sucker screen), I see you hardly use it for anything... I for example use the phone a lot for browsing, so you see the browser takes close to 20% of the battery (as you can see in my attached app sucker screen), but in your case, no app takes much battery power. It seems that you spent your screen-on time mainly looking at the stock launcher...
[G2 General] Deni_N:
I have 31% discharge while off..i can not find any app that is draining my battery. This is on 2G and wifi. Do you have any suggestion..factory resset paharps?? Thanks a lot...i see some users with 7+ hours of screen on time with 4G..
[G2 General] Deni_N:
Sorry...my xda premim ih having issues with uploading screens.
[G2 General] Noam23:
Can you please post all of the GSM screens, after you reach 10% battery (90% drain, that is) ? take a look at the first post of these thread to see which screens I need.
[G2 General] :
Because some just put screen timeout to half hour and let their phone sit there on, but doing nothing. Then everyone thinks they're battery gurus......seen it many times. Their screen shots prove what I'm saying. ;)

---------- Post added at 09:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:35 AM ----------

Sorry....stupid xda app quoted wrong post...as usual. LOL

I was talking about the 7 hours screen time guys that have no apps showing up in gsam. ;)
[G2 General] djraimondi:
That makes sense now.......
[G2 General] tripster:
I think my usage is balanced among many uses. Email,texting (both sms and mms), browsing, YouTube videos, reading many xda posts and many, many blog posts via my feedly app.

Either way, my G2 works awesome for my style of use. And I'm glad I found/turned off the items that negatively impacted it. I imagine if I rooted it and turned off CIQ that it would only get better.
[G2 General] Vysin:
I get around the same battery life as tripster and use my phone. However in gsam it shows nova as the top app user. I watch videos, takes tons of pictures and videos, browse Internet, listen to music/podcasts and play games.

I'll post my stats after a 100-10 cycle
[G2 General] Noam23:
You simply don't use the phone for long time with any battery intensive apps. Let's take browsing the internet for example (browsing the internet is a very battery intensive task), your chrome is at 1.9%, while my browser is at 19%, which means I browsed the internet 10 times longer than you did (if you browsed 20 minutes, I've browsed 200 minutes).

All I'm saying is, when people post amazing battery lives as you post, it's always because they don't use battery hungry apps for long (it is not because they are disabling BT or WIFI or Google services or Google backup, not at all ! because all of these are negligible on the G2 in terms of battery consumption). If they also have exceptional screen-on time, it is spent mostly on applications with very light battery drainage.

I see that your brightness is set always at "dark". Are you using lux brightness control ? how do you set your screen brightness ?
[G2 General] tripster:
Fair points about cpu intensive versus non-intensive apps. I know if I'm doing more browsing and navigation I'll get 4 to 5 hour on screen time and have the total time drop below 48 hours.

Concerning brightness. I'm managing it manually, not using Lux or the auto setting. I typically range between 30% (early morning) to 75% during the day. It just depends on where I'm at, as the time. Weird it shows dark though. I wonder why.
[G2 General] zathus:
Isn't that kind of the point? I assumed this thread was more for sharing information on what the best setup and Rom might be and providing accurate proof of said setup. If your using an app that drains a lot of battery, the u gather no information of how the Rom itself, different screen settings or battery assist type apps preform. The only information that provides is" hey look this app uses a lot of power". What you need to do is provide a baseline, and say use the phone for 2 hours doing this and post the results. Otherwise it just turns into an epenis competition. I can turn airplane mode on, the brightness on 0, and run an app that simply keep the screen on and does nothing else and I'll get 24 hours of on screen time lol this provides nothing beneficial to anyone

Side note, even with my screen set at 50 percent it still shows it as a dark. Seems like you have to use auto brightness to get to read different screen brightness
[G2 General] titiwuts:
here's mine. disabled Lux. Auto brightness at 50%.Use some 3G dont know why mobile data is zero byte though.

:good::good:
[G2 General] Noam23:
The point of this thread is so people could understand exactly why some people get great screen-on time and overall time between charges, and why some get worse times.

When you have all the information in front of you, you see that there are no surprises.

If I take your results for example, we use the phone similarly, yet you get about 1 hour of extra screen-time than I. This could easily be explained by your superb phone signal quality (you're practically living on an antenna), and by the fact that your browser use is still not as high as mine...
[G2 General] yyz123:
Here's mine... what do you guys think?

Almost 19 hours on battery and I left data/wifi on the whole time. If I'm reading the graphs on my 3rd post correctly, I think I apparently had my GPS on too? I don't remember turning it on though.
[G2 General] yyz123:
The first 4 pages of Appsucker screenshots, I think there may have been one more page but I guess they're irrelevant because they show up as 0%.
[G2 General] yyz123:
This is the last of the screenshots. Seems like I lost roughly 6% battery overnight.
[G2 General] zathus:
That's my point. Your using a 3rd party browser. I don't know if it uses more power or what but I know I at least used my browser for 2 hours and its not showing up at all. Says like 6 mins lol I just don't think the app is very accurate on what's being used.
[G2 General] Noam23:
It shows cpu usage, this is not how much time you've used the browser, but how much time the cpu was used. The cpu is not active all the time you browse. Which browser is this, the stock one? You sure you've used it for 2 hours and it only took 2.5 percent of the battery??
[G2 General] zathus:
Yeah I've been on it most of the time. Played a little hill climb racer but almost all I've used today is tapatalk and the browser. That's what I meant, its not showing using much at all. But that doesn't mean I'm not using it. And yeah its the stock browser malladus 1.2.1.
[G2 General] adrian_nene16:
Hey guys is anyone experiencing this? I have an at&t lg g2, my gps is off but when i open the gsam app it shows that maps (gps) has be on since i unplugged the phone, which basically it shows thag it has be on for 3 hours. its weird. I also have system tuner app from play store and i unselected the carrieriq things, location access are off too, but i dont know what's the problem. Usually a reboot makes gps turn off. Anyone else having this problem? Im rooted and running stock at&t/lg g2 rom.
[G2 General] yyz123:
I think I encountered something similar.

On my post where I attached my screen shots in the previous page (page 10), it shows that I had the GPS on the whole time but I don't even remember turning it on once. Maybe just a bug in the app? I still got pretty good battery life with my heavy usage so I'm not too worried about it.
[G2 General] Noam23:
At the app sucker screen you can sort according to which app used the GPS most. Take a look.
[G2 General] imkr1:
Can't get near 5hrs mark....sad...
[G2 General] julioforo:
I have uninstalled CHROME and my battery now is awesome!
[G2 General] Redshark976:
Something wrong with mine? I only get about 2hr 30min. screen on time?

[G2 General] Vysin:
Post stats and then people can see of anything is messing with your phone and your usage
[G2 General] Rashad83:
Back with another full cycle, so this time i didn't intend to make my phone last longer i simply used it the way i use my phone normally without any intention of reporting back here. So my brightness was at 38 the whole time like before, and i used the mobile data for like 2 hours but it seems Gsam didn't record that.
[G2 General] Noam23:
Imkr1,

Why is your Home (stock launcher) takes so much battery? 25% is insane, it took the equivalent battery charge as your 4 hour screen time... Can you go inside "home" and show me its stats?
[G2 General] Noam23:
Rashad83,

I wish you could have posted the graph sorted by "other" and not battery temperature...

It seems that your great screen time comes from using constant low brightness... I also don't understand what did you do with the phone during the 7 hours screen time, because you barely used any application...
[G2 General] Rashad83:
I agree with you on the notion that my screen brightness is the cause for my good screen time. Now coming to your remark about my app usage i think the apps percentages aren't a clear representative, i assure u most of the screen on time i am either using xda app, facebook, google plus, and the rest of the apps u see in the the app sucker screen, but what is certain is that i am doing something and the screen on time isn't idle.

My next report should be different and interesting, i promise you that.
[G2 General] yyz123:
Without going through my entire list, it seems that the thing that is using GpsLocationProvider is Android System. But my GPS is turned off? :confused:

---------- Post added at 12:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:04 PM ----------

Although I use the stock LG browser and not Chrome, going through my Appsucker list, Google Chrome doesn't pull any power at all. Mine is showing 0.0%
[G2 General] zathus:
I don't know about others but unless I'm using autobrightness the app doesn't pick up proper screen brightness. To test this, my phone has been at 90% brightness since it came off the charger. This is the result...
[G2 General] Bobaroo:
Has GSam Battery Monitor been buggy for anyone else? My phone has been off the charger for about 18 hrs, with 2 hr of screen time. GSam says screen time of 15 minutes and off the charger for 60minutes. It is however showing the correct precentage of battery remaining
[G2 General] zathus:
Has it 'rebooted at all? Or been on a charger for even a second?
[G2 General] Bobaroo:
I did reboot. Didn't realize that reset it.
[G2 General] Rashad83:
It's not a Gsam problem its an LG issue, i used to own a Samsung before owning this phone and the battery life was always reported since last charged or unplugged no matter how many times you reboot. The funny thing with lg sometimes it resets the count and sometimes it doesn't try checking it from the system settings. At the beginning i reported this as an issue in the help section and no one replied back, made me go nuts thinking i have a faulty battery.
[G2 General] roentgun:
So I attempted to fix my battery problems by disabling Google Now, location history and tracking, and Wifi tracking with other apps.

Overnight I had the phone discharge about 5%.

In the morning you can see where I get to work. Then there's suddenly a precipitous decline in my battery despite overall light use. At work I don't have access to a cell tower so I turn on airplane mode and switch on wifi. You will notice a huge wifi wakelock hit. My hypothesis is the wifi for whatever reason is waking the device constantly while the cell data is off and completely reaming my battery. I don't notice these kind of battery drops when I'm out and about which lends credence to the wifi theory. Fix anyone?
[G2 General] theartofdance:
I'll be posting my battery statistics later tonight hopefully. Depends on if I kill my battery by then.
[G2 General] imkr1:
I don't know .. "home" still ate almost 20% of my battery? Any solution? I only have LG weather widget in home screen with the interval update the weather every 3 hours ..
[G2 General] Noam23:
I say remove the weather widget...
[G2 General] :
or any other widget that syncs often.

regarding the wifi problem try with better battery stats to see proper partial wakelocks. Gsam doesnt report those to my liking. Also if you check your phone every few minutes you can prevent it from sleeping as wel

[G2 General] PartyBent:
Just got a huge drain over night I think its maybe the stock browers ?

I just charged the phone and then unplug it for the night and when i waked up its look like this :S
[G2 General] Noam23:
The stock launcher and Google maps are draining your battery.
[G2 General] Noam23:
- Something doesn't make sense, you used tons of browser, yet only 4 minutes screen time ?

- Your 4G radio connection seems to killed the battery too (44%...)

- Your "Held awake" is too high. Please provide the app sucker screen ordered by Held awake time.

Please provide all necessary GSAM screens (look at the first post of this thread to see which screens). It is hard to help you like this.

You need to go inside the kernel and find out which processes kept the device awake for almost 2 hours...
[G2 General] vween:
Under your Google Account, make sure browser sync is OFF. Yeah, it wont sync your bookmarks anymore, but oh well.
[G2 General] skins30:
Why is LG Setup wizard killing my battery? Two days ago i was getting great battery life like used it for an entire day and still had 35%, now my battery is being drained. See attachments please.
[G2 General] vween:
Google Now gets a bad rap. I leave it on all the time and it doesn't eat battery. The only location setting I turn off is Location Reporting. Right now, with 2hrs 50 min Screen On time and off charger for 31 hrs 1 min, I'm at 56% charge left. BBS is telling me that is 1.4% per hour discharge.

Go into each of all those apps you got running and look at their settings. Make sure they aren't syncing in the background if they don't need to be, etc.

Maybe even start removing apps one by one to try and find the one that eats your battery. Then, look for an alternative.
[G2 General] LittleH79:
Wow wow wow!!

Over 9 hours of screen on time!!! :cowboy:

Was searching long time for a new wallpaper with WallpaperCasa, a ****load of Whatsapp, Facebook, XDA, Twitter and news apps.

I disabled some system apps like LG Backup, Maps, Google+, Chrome, Hangouts.

Furthermore I Greenified Facebook Messenger, Mega and Twitter so they don't run in the background.

Initially did the same with Facebook but noticed it doesn't drain that much and didn't like it slow starting every time.

Disabled location for Google Apps and deleted Google Search (Now).

Overal really impressed with stats!
[G2 General] yyz123:
That's pretty good screen time but I'm also not really that shocked to see your results since you don't seem to use the phone for anything other than keeping the screen on. Your app usage is very low and didn't spend anytime talking on your phone which greatly contributes to your screen on time. Although you had your wifi on the whole time, you probably didn't send/receive much data since the battery drain is so low.

Again, impressive, but not surprising.
[G2 General] LittleH79:
Well my screen time out in all those years with all my phones is always 1 minute.

As said I was browsing for a new wallpaper for like 4-5 hours maybe that's where you think the screen time comes from.

Other than that I used Whatsapp for like 150-200 messages and network use for that is really low.

Maybe that's leading to the confusion..
[G2 General] WhiteZero:
Wondering if my battery stats are bugged this morning! lol
[G2 General] Noam23:
Moreover, we can not see which brightness level he used for the screen. My guess, very low.
[G2 General] LittleH79:
65% all the time
[G2 General] MATTHEWLONG:
This is the truest battery saving tip. Also, use wakelock detector and greenify those apps. My phone can do 8+ hours on standby and still be on 100% battery.
[G2 General] Noam23:
In my opinion, the G2's battery meter is calibrated wrongly (probably on purpose). Once it gets to 100%, it takes a very very very long time to get to 99%. No other percentage drop takes so long as the drop from 100 to 99. I guess LG's engineers thought that customers will like this illusion, and we seem to like it... (I think the drop between 100 to 99 was programmed by LG's engineers to equal a real-life 5 percent drop, at least!).
[G2 General] Steamer86:
I've noticed this. At 5% the hit is huge. You shouldn't discharge that far anyhow. The illusion is nice at the top end, but at the bottom it goes FAST. Still lasts ridiculously long in entirety. Sooo.... IDC.
[G2 General] imkr1:
I don't understand why "home" still eating much of the battery .. but I can get around 5hrs screen on time ... kind of satisfy .. but wish to get to 6hrs screen on.. not too greedy right ..

[G2 General] julioforo:
location man!
[G2 General] imkr1:
Can you be more specific? I think my location is off as you can see in the attached pic..
[G2 General] Noam23:
Imkr1, with your usage you should get about 7-8 hours screen time. You hardly use any application that consumes power, and the phone was discharged for only 15 hours. I would suggest replacing to a 3rd party launcher and see if things dramatically improve.
[G2 General] theartofdance:
Fell asleep before I could take screenshots at 10%, but here you go. This is my typical battery life and usage and screen on time. No surprises here for me.

I use messenger as my main texting app. Nova launcher, a few widgets, lux for brightness controls. Google now is installed and active, but I don't use location services (even though I'd LOVE to). I'm gonna try the tips someone left earlier about it and see if it does decent on my battery life.

Also, I'm running on cleanrom XE 2.0 which has no carrier iq. I think that's a big difference in battery life. I'll post more in the future, because I really wanna see if I can get more screen on time.

Edited: forgot to mention, I'm connected to my pebble watch 24/7 so my bluetooth is always on. I don't usually turn Wifi, gps, or nfc off either.

Another fresh batch, this time kept the wifi on the whole time, played 1 game for quite some time, used the browser, google+, xda and other apps more than the usual use, brightness at 38 and never kept the screen on time idle.
