What I'd found to get prolong battery life is doing a cache and dalvik wipe along with fixing permissions.

Doing this when the battery life drops tends to renew the battery performance.

I tend to get good results after the 2nd or 3rd battery cycle post wiping.

Best of luck guys

Probably his G2 have others problems, not just the battery.

Here is my point: the less time your battery stays at 4v (>80% of charge) and above-the better for it.

When you charge your battery overnight,it reaches 100% (4,30v and more) for about 2 hours or even less,and stays at that voltage level for 6-10 hours(till you sleep)?

6 hours of night*365 days=2190hours/24hours=91 day per year or 1/4 of a year it stays overcharged!!!

Higher voltage kills your battery(decrease of capacity).

It`s Ok to charge to 100% and began to use your phone (voltage will began to drop).

But it`s NOT OK to store your battery at that high voltage.

Look at my previous Youtube link.

Even Tesla motors and other companies don`t charge cells over 4v in their electric cars.

And they use best Li-ion cells in their cars.

If you need 100% charge,than charge it to 80% at evening,and than charge it again to 100% in next day morning.

Remember:LG G2 do not has NASA-grade battery,it has cheap Li-pol 2000+mAh battery.

LG uses high voltage stage(4,35v) to increase it`s capacity to near 2900mAh.

There is no miracle.

Battery will last less longer than your previous cellphone,just because of increased power consumption (display and CPU and other).This phone drains battery faster with higher current(it's bad for the battery).

Simple phisics and chemistry.
[G2 General] Ace42:
^I have read that it's not necessary or good to completely charge or discharge battery (100/0%), you want to do partial charges only up to about 75-85% of the battery's theoretical max, and recharge once it reaches 20-25%. Also these batteries will constantly lose their cells or whatever as soon as they're completed in a factory, so we can never truly pause the degradation of batteries ourselves.

Ok guys, all that teory is good, but a brandnew original battery cost less than 50 €,

when needed i buy it new...

:D I thought this thread is called " Keeping good battery health?"

But i guess the right answer from LG is: "Your G2 will die in 1,5-2 years and you`ll come to us for G3 or G4 or whatever else.:D

Because there is no any original OEM battery on the market,exept crappy chinese fake.

That`s marketing nowadays.

Lg G2 is discontinued,i think you will not be able to find new battery in 2016.
[G2 General] VekiCRO:
Interesting thread and a lot of useful information.

I have question about charging,in Dorimanx kernel default mA for charging is 1600mA,whether it is better for battery charging at a higher or at lower mA?
[G2 General] Rayan:
Interesting video!

However they are talking about Electric Car batteries, not smartphone batteries (not 100% equal).... However they are pretty similar (but not equal despite both being Lithium technologies). Many aspects mentioned on the video also apply on smartphones (like voltage, temperature, charge/discharge cycle counts, etc), but please remember that our smartphones while connected to AC the voltage does not flow directly to the cells, Voltage is controlled and interrupted when it reaches a certain level to protect the battery. I repeat, NOTING BAD WILL HAPPEN to a battery while connected overnight. We are not in 1985 anymore! Battery technology has evolved dramatically ever since!

Cheers!

I don't want to troll or spam, but the availability of spare parts (as battery) is regulated by law and every company must respect law. If you buy a car, 5 years later you cant find a mirror or a seat or the entire engine?

Can you proof that "NOTING BAD WILL HAPPEN to a battery while connected overnight"?

And how do you know what capacity your battery has right now/tomorrow/next month? :confused:

Any scientific data would help. I would like to see it.

And there is no any difference between car cells and cellphone batteries,technology is the same.

Car has even more advanced battery control system to prolong life of battery cells.

Tesla guarantees that their car battery will last 8 years !!!!

And what about your cellphone?

"Chargers for cellular phones, laptops, tablets and digital cameras bring the Li-ion battery to 4.20V/cell.

This allows maximum capacity, because the consumer wants nothing less than optimal runtime.

Industry, on the other hand, is more concerned about longevity and may choose lower voltage thresholds. (And they use battery at 4V)

Satellites and electric vehicles are examples where longevity is more important than capacity."

Dial 3845#*802# to get to "Hidden menu" -> Battery Test -> Battery Information to see voltage of your battery at 100% of charge.

Yes,we are not in 1985 anymore, a lot of things were more robust at that time. :)

---------- Post added at 08:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:22 PM ----------

You will get old battery,manufactured in 2013?

Yes,every company must respect law,but in real life thing are different. :(

Even now,there is no any OEM Lg g2 battery at Amazon.

And LG do not sell spare parts by themselves,why?
[G2 General] siggey:
Simply because it is 'not user serviceable' so they don't sell the spare part but if you go to an official LG service centre they repair your phone. For about 50€.

Edit: I noticed only now that you are registered at xda on april 1, so probably all your rage about battery is a joke.

[G2 General] khaytsus:
Lithium Ion batteries should be charged early and often... Don't discharge below 40% and store at cool temperatures.

Keeping it at 100% in reasonable temperatures (75f or below) is just fine. It's NOT overcharging. It's not stressing the battery. If you can not charge it overnight and not drop it below 40% regularly, great. But if you're discharging deeply just to avoid charging overnight, you're causing more harm than good.

Anyway. Remember that "charging overnight" is not the same as "storing". And 18 months or so is a pretty decent life for a phone battery, period. At 15 months and that poor of battery life it sounds like he was either having OS issues or really hard on the battery.. But no, it was not from charging overnight.

Stop spreading misinformation.
[G2 General] avtemp:
What?

The one who spread misinformation is YOU and other people,who can`t or don`t want to read scientific articles.

Can you prove any of your words?

All you want to say is just "BELIEVE ME,because I say so".

So,according to you: "And 18 months or so is a pretty decent life for a phone battery, period."

Seriosly?Any proof?

But at the same time:"At 15 months and that poor of battery life it sounds like he was either having OS issues or really hard on the battery.."

So if your battery lasts 18 month-it`s ok, but if it lasts 15 month- something wrong? LOL

You say:"Keeping it at 100% in reasonable temperatures (75f or below) is just fine.It's NOT overcharging. It's not stressing the battery."

Unfortunately,you are wrong.

http://powerelectronics.com/site-fi...y_charger_ics/804PET22li-ion-battery-life.pdf

And there is a lot of other scientific researches.

"Permanent capacity loss, as the name implies, refers to permanent loss that is not recoverable by charging. Permanent capacity loss is mainly due to the number of full charge/discharge cycles, battery voltage and temperature.

The more time the battery remains at 4.2 V or 100% charge level (or 3.6 V for Li-ion phosphate), the faster the capacity loss occurs. This is true whether the battery is being charged or just in a fully charged condition with the voltage near 4.2 V. Always maintaining a Li-ion battery in a fully charged condition will shorten its lifetime. The chemical changes that shorten the battery lifetime begin when it is manufactured, and these changes are accelerated by high float voltage and high temperature. Permanent capacity loss is unavoidable, but it can be held to a minimum by observing good battery practices when charging, discharging or simply storing the battery. Using partial-discharge cycles can greatly increase cycle life, and charging to less than 100% capacity can increase battery life even further."

I`m gonna say it again: The more time the battery remains at 4.2 V or 100% charge level (or 3.6 V for Li-ion phosphate), the faster the capacity loss occurs.

Your battery remains at 4,2v and above for whole night, it`s about 1\4 of a year.

So,do not misinformate anyone, unless you can prove your words. Can you?
[G2 General] siggey:
On internet there is a lot of university professors proving the alien invasion...... Every one can believe in what he want and sharing knowledge does not mean impose it.

On the other side, I ask some LG center around the world and they don't have a battery for d802, so probably we have a real problem.

[G2 General] Theolode:
My G2 is 1,5 years old and I haven’t been thinking on being nice to the battery and had it on the charger all night long and sometimes used it down to 10%. Always have had good battery.

I flashed the italian 30A one week ago. And got some bad battery stats. I had 9 h from 100% to 10% with minimal use.

The messaging app and google service used a lot. I then updated google play and google service app from apkmirror.com, deleted my sync accounts and put them back in. Deleted all SMS conversations. And at last I charged it to 100% went in to recovery and deleted batterystats.bin file, then turned off the phone and unplugged the charger after a minute and turned it back on. I also froze some aps.

Now the battery drain is gone. In standby it uses almost no battery at all. 1% per 4-5h. Got 43+h from 100% down to 16% and 3+h screen on time.

Not a lot of SOT but I´m glad to see the standby time is back to being awesome.
[G2 General] Xer0 WindKey:
I understand that this is XDA and here is exactly the right place to split hairs to get to the very bottom of things, but I really think these phones were designed to be used without the need to take so many measures into account when charging.

If you take everything everyone has said both right and wrong, at the end of the line, it wont matter, even if you take every measure to a T the battery life WILL degrade, maybe it will be a little, maybe it will be a lot, even then it doesnt matter, by the time this happens your battery life will be cut shorter anyways because you will be running apps the use a lot more power than the ones you used when you bought the phone.

Its true that manufacturers design devices with planned obsolescence in mind, but its not just because they want to make a profit, its because its impossible for the device to keep up with all new apps and uses people keep making, its a rule not just any technology but life itself, phones dont evolve like us humans do, they need to be replaced, quite fast too.

Personally I plug my own phone to charge when I go to sleep everynight, I set it and forget it. If the battery acts up I replace it myself. If I wouldnt know how to replace it myself Id take it to someone to do it for me, If Id care less or enough time has passed I get a new phone.

My point is, that Ive got more important things to do than to babysit a phone battery a tablet battery, a workphone battery, a laptop battery, a work laptop battery, a Moga controller's battery and my Camry Hybrid's battery.

I would bet money that more people think like me in this than not.

(Disclaimer: Im am fully aware that my Camry Hybrid's battery is not the same type as the other devices mentioned.)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Wieseman1:
How long do you generally have to press the power button when powering on the N7 (not rooted, running 4.4.2) ? Sometimes it will power up if I press it a few seconds, release, and then wait for the Google logo to appear, but i often find that nothing happens (don't get a the Google logo to come on after waiting ) unless I keep pressing the power button in for almost 30 seconds until the logo appears and then release it. Once it powers up it seems to run just fine.

Is this a problem? Is there a fix? I've cleared the cache but that doesn't seem to make much difference. Also, no problems if I just hold the power button until it shuts itself off (not using the power off prompt) and keep holding it a few seconds after it powers down to automatically reboot (I read this tip here and assume it is OK to do?). This problem just seems to appear when I power up after shutting it down for a day or two.

Also, I've read suggestions in other threads, not about this issue, that talk about starting up in Safe Mode. How is this done and why would i do it?

Simple question:

How do I get the notification bar transparent?

I have installed cm11 4.4.2 and i dont found a setting to get the bar transparent....

I installed some launcher but no one showed me a transparent notification bar.

Is there a solution or is the bar at the nexus s always black?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kosmoskatten:
You have to first change "ro.config.low_ram=true" to "ro.config.low_ram=false" in build.prop.

Then you can try change to Transparent Notification Bar on your launcher (if it's supported, like in Nova). I haven't gotten this to work my self, but I'm on SlimKat, so it's possible that it works with cm11.

or you can install xposed framework:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1574401

and then install "Enable Translucent Decor" module:

http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.ugglynoodle.enabletranslucentdecor

This works great for me, with SlimKat anyways.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treesurf:
I think with CM11 if you change lowram to false and reboot it should automatically give you transparent status bar.
