[Verizon LG G2] Ainvar:
The problem is 100% hardware, it is actually how weak and crappy the copper flex connector is that has to touch a little copperplate to use the crap antenna that is a stick on the inside of the battery cover. If you wedge a small piece of electrical tape (really small) under the flex connector to help strengthen it then you will get a better signal lock. This does mean you will have to take the back of the phone off to do it. It is on the opposite side of the phone that doesn't have the SIM on it. Taking off the back will void your warranty of course but I have already rooted this phone and I buy them outright so I can keep my unlimited data. I go through phones fast enough that I never had to deal with a warranty issue though, so I normally don't worry about what I do to the device. I treat it like I do my laptops and desktops. If it is broke I try and fix it and if I can't then off to RMA hell I go.

Here is a picture from another XDA thread by JTNiggle that shows the insides of the VZW LG G2.

Hope this helps you out. It has worked on mine and also on a few others I modified the same way. The only time I have issues with a GPS lock now is most of the same places other phones will due to weak or no signal due to line of sight. I want to say it is as strong as my VZW Moto X which is not rooted and running 4.4.2.

I have posted about this in the GPS thread here and you can see it has worked for others and not for some, YMMV on this but it doesnt hurt to try.
[Verizon LG G2] Ryoma1337:
I used to have GPS issues when I switched to this ROM about a week before official kitkat was released (no locks within 10+ minutes, eventually locking if left on for 30 minutes) however when I tested it a few days back, I got a lock within 10 seconds. For the past few days, GPS has been working flawlessly. I don't understand, lol.

Battery Life

Is anyone experiencing bad battery life on 1.1.1 vs 1.0. I did a fresh wipe last night to try and see if that would help but it hasn't. Just wondering if I should possibly go back to 1.0. My battery is struggling now. I'm getting about 3 hours SOT with about 14 hours of usage. I used to get 5-6.
[Verizon LG G2] fordmanck:
Still great here. My SOT is a little low but I've been unplugged awhile. I went to Mahdi for a few days and after flashing back I didn't see quite the life I was until it settled back in after a few days.
[Verizon LG G2] Mightycaptain:
This was from a few days ago.

I'm pretty pleased.

1.1.1
[Verizon LG G2] LTunez:
Excellent battery life here...
[Verizon LG G2] jesssiii:
How's the battery compared to MAHDI in your opinion? I always hear stock is better.

VZW G2 (VS980)
[Verizon LG G2] fordmanck:
Mahdi was great because I love AOSP, but honestly battery life is pretty much the only reason I came back. I think I get a good third more battery life out of this. That and one app I kinda need for work wasn't functioning.
[Verizon LG G2] 93fuelslut:
I'm pleased with battery on Mahdi IMO .

sent from your moms phone
[Verizon LG G2] fordmanck:
Again, coming from battery hog phones, it was great. Just nothing compared to what I'm seeing on this ROM. This isn't the best I've ever gotten, but it sleeps so much better than Mahdi, in my limited exposure. I can unplug on this ROM and if I don't touch the phone, it will not lose one percent in several hours. Mahdi would drop to 99 almost immediately. Maybe I'll give it another go around, but having so much use out of my phone is outweighing having AOSP at the moment. If I can do this everyday, I'm good.
[Verizon LG G2] 93fuelslut:
Well IMO, I think it's good if I loose 20% battery in 3 and 1/2 hours using BT headphones, Pandora, and maybe 20-30min screen time. I synced my email to 3times

[Verizon LG G2] geoff5093:
Battery life can vary greatly, even with the same phone but in different locations.

At home, I can go all day with light use and have 75% left by the evening. I get decent 4G signal (around -105dBm), and my home WiFi is an Asus AC68U about 10 feet from where my phone is.

At work, by 4PM I'm at 50% or less with even lighter use. Here I only get mediocre 1x/3G, but the wireless at work just kills the battery life.
[Verizon LG G2] Ryoma1337:
My battery life is weird. I charged it overnight, unplugged it at 11 AM and at 12 AM it was at 82%. This was with light use, taking a few pictures, texts, calls. However, when I woke up this morning at 11 AM it was at 63%. It dropped almost 20% battery with it doing NOTHING. With BBS, it shows the phone was awake for two hours total ever since the charge, and the rest of it was sleep... I don't know what caused that crazy battery drain.
[Verizon LG G2] jesssiii:
Had been using Mahdi but had a flash craving. Forgot how nice this version of stock is. And using several Xposed modules, Chomp, and a modded clear calendar, I'm fairly happy with how it's themed now. Still prefer a completely dark or transparent UI though.

VZW G2 (VS980)
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
Try wipig cache and dalvek, if that doesn't work then clean flash. Either something you removed or an app is causing it.

I've flashed this four or so different occasions, and have never had an issue with the phone not sleeping.
[Verizon LG G2] fordmanck:
I do too but between xposed and the few modules I use, it's close enough considering everything works flawless and I get over a days use. I did wake up in a strange house over the weekend. Damn was it nice having battery left for the sneak out cab ride instead of the walk or ride of shame.
[Verizon LG G2] lepa71:
Are you sure you get this at 2.4/h?
[Verizon LG G2] insang-droid:
for those of us who have battery life problems.. it's not our imagination..

one thing i tried though.. go back to stock 4.4.2 then go in to safe mode.. and my batter life is amazing.. with google now on, wifi, high accuracy location.. push email on exchange, and gmail.

with safe mode i got better than 4.2.2 battery life

using normal mode.. i get no where near that..

only thing I can think of is it's not the hardware at this point.
[Verizon LG G2] ANTLAY:
Edit
[Verizon LG G2] lepa71:
To test hardware, put it into airplane mode overnight and see how much you loose.
[Verizon LG G2] fordmanck:
I don't think anyone thinks it's anyone's imagination. I just think some people are impatient, not saying you are, just some. Mine sucks the first few cycles, but again as I stated way earlier in the thread, we all use our phones differently.
[Verizon LG G2] LTunez:
Those stats are the high end of my average, but I've taken steps to keep things running pretty lean in general. I use Greenify to hibernate apps/processes that are rarely used (or are battery hogs), Lux to control brightness (with a baseline of about 50%), location services set to "battery saving", location reporting/history are off, Google Now is disabled, "hot word" is disabled for Google search, sync/backup only necessary data (gmail, app data, contacts, play services), have just a few widgets (Chronus and Lux), and have disabled/frozen a select number of apps/processes I don't ever use.

I have noticed there is a considerable difference in my battery life when I'm at work, versus at home. At home, I get barely any drain when idle (about 1% per hour), but I have a good signal and my Wifi is solid. My workplace is a communications dead-zone, so my phone is always fighting to keep a signal, plus the WiFi there also does some funky stuff to my battery life. BBS generally shows "radio-interface" as the second highest kernel wakelock (underneath "PowerManagerService"), but has occasionally been the highest. I also see higher than normal "wlan" (rx, wake,ctrl,wd) wakelocks at work vs home. I also see considerable activity with "bam_dmux_wakelock" at work, which shows nearly no activity when I'm at home.

Sorry for the long post, but to answer your question, "yes, I'm sure". :)
[Verizon LG G2] greyhd:
I am getting great battery life on this ROM, on par with 4.2.2. This is on XLTE and LTE, no wifi, checking emails, twitter, surf the web, and a few calls.
[Verizon LG G2] geoff5093:
It seems to be very susceptible to various WiFi connections, as far as battery goes. My home wireless is great, I can use my phone lightly and by evening I'll be at 75%. At work on WiFi, by 4PM the battery is at 30% with very, very little use (maybe 15 minutes of screen on time). I've tried a few things at work, putting it in airplane mode which keeps it at 100% for most of the day, airplane mode with only WiFi on and I'm around 75% by 4PM with almost no use, data only is about the same as well. Something is going on.
[Verizon LG G2] jesssiii:
What's safe mode and how did you get there?

VZW G2 (VS980)
[Verizon LG G2] duke69111:
Hold the hardware power button like you are powering down the phone til you see power off. Then press and hold power off til you see Reboot to Safe Mode.
[Verizon LG G2] Jimi Mack:
I do not see this option, it seems to just shows, a 4 second count down and then reboots. I am on this rom, do you have to be on total pure stock for this option to work?
[Verizon LG G2] duke69111:
Only hold the hardware power button on the back of the phone til you see the phone options menu. You should only need to hold the hardware power button for about 3 minutes. Then press and hold power off on the screen until you see the safe mode option, then click ok.

You're holding the hardware power button on the back to long and your phone is trying to restart.
[Verizon LG G2] ANTLAY:

Pardon my ignorance, but wouldnt that just indicate that one or more of your apps is the issue? :confused:
[Verizon LG G2] lepa71:
I don't have Greenify running. I have good signal and overnight I do get 0.4/h loss, but it is still nothing comparing to yours. One thing, my Gsam

views statistics from full charge which is not default. Also your screenshot shows 6h 30 min screen time. This is what does not sound right. My brightness is set to 20% period no auto and I can get 4 hours of screen time, but it would average about 5.x/h usage and I wouldn't get 1d10h. Screen is what kills the battery, no processes can come close to it for usage.

I'm interested what your setup for Greenify if you don't mind.

Thanks

btw I don't any social networking(FB, TW, etc...) nor texting.
[Verizon LG G2] illyfilly:
A couple of problems and one solution:

The dialer app doesn't always autocomplete names/numbers. It will just dial a number until I exit and come back in.

Also, some contacts don't show up in Hangouts just their numbers. It happened today with a new message from a contact and just the number showed up, but when I tried to add the contact the number is there already and it gets duplicated.

It's amazing how finicky this phone is with the cable you use.

Just tried to sync some pictures from my phone to my computer and the connection was dying every 5 minutes. Changed to the cable that came with the phone and it's all good.

If you are having any problems sycing/charging, check the cable.
[Verizon LG G2] ffejy462:
I highly suggest the google dialer. It's not available in the play store, but the apk can be found all over. (install in system/priv-app)

[Verizon LG G2] RKight:
I've seen a lot of posts about battery life. Granted, I use Greenify and keep data and WiFi off when they aren't used but I get great battery life. I'm at 12.5 hours off the charger, at 85% battery. That's including an hour long phone call. The other day, I hit 6.5 hours of screen on time. It's crazy how inconsistent battery life seems to be from one phone to the next.
[Verizon LG G2] insang-droid:
At this point I'll just enjoy this ROM until I g3 releases. Done fighting. Just going to keep a charger at my desk.
[Verizon LG G2] big70tom:
I'm trying to figure out how they plan on getting better battery life with the same battery, a bigger screen, and a more power hungry screen. I was very excited about the g3 but am kinda disappointed. Making me kinda hope all the Verizon Sony Z2 talk is true.

[Verizon LG G2] boydscout:
I tried the tape fix... was pretty easy to implement. However it didn't help me get a gps lock even under the clear blue sky. Then it occurred to me to try without my oem case (the rubber kickstand case with belt holster). Got a gps lock very quickly. I think the case has been the culprit from day one. Wondering if this is contributing to many people's problems with the G2 gps.

[Verizon LG G2] xdabbeb:
Yep. Will def be releasing a new version. Just been messing with the G3 system for the past day or so and I got sidetracked with other items for the past week or so. I have been meaning to put all of the kernels (including the new one) in their own thread as well since they're currently scattered all over and aren't really labelled properly. Plus I've been beating my head up against a wall with the random HDR crash bug in the camera. That one's a pain b/c the only logging I get is a sigsegv and the backtrace is useless without the symbols to load (which are proprietary).

Awesome. Would be cool to get a port of it eventually.

I think breaking down all your kernels would be a good idea.

I think the original kernel you made with the google tool chain is the closest "stock" kitkat kernel we have access too.

Eagerly anticipating your rebase. Thanks for everything.

I was really excited because it's the only negative I have found with stock after only running AOSP since buying the phone. It's insanely annoying.

It started happening to me with one contact about a month ago. I haven't seen it with any other contacts. Oh, and I'm running Malladus so looks like it's not specific to any single ROM but these are both stock based ROMs.

[Verizon LG G2] RandomPooka:
So, listening for "Ok, Google" is a dedicated hardware function, and not software process driven? That would imply that battery life should be nearly identical with or without it being enabled.

What is SoC?

SoC refers to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 which I remember reading has the always listening ability.

Does anyone have a foolproof method for customizing the front notification LED? No matter what I do, I can't get it to work. The LED works just fine, as it flashes when using knock on, rebooting, and for incoming phone calls.

The built-in notification LED settings worked fine on AOSP when I was using it, but now nothing I do on stock works. I tried disabling all the individual LED options in system settings, enabling notification access, etc. Tried it with 3 apps: GravityBox, Light Flow, and Light Manager.
[Verizon LG G2] LTunez:
LightFlow works, but it did take me a while to figure out how to configure it.

You must leave the G2's stock LED notifications enabled, but disable all the individual apps/notifications (incoming call, missed call, etc) except for the one labeled "Downloaded apps" (make sure that one is enabled/ticked).

In Lightflow's settings, have "Root mode", and "Run in foreground" enabled. Seems that "Nexus 5 force LED reset" is enabled by default, so I left that alone. "Reduce wake" is optional...seems to work either way.

When installing Lightflow, you should be prompted to enable "Notification Services", so allow that as well.

Well, it's certainly the first one I've shared with everyone :) I used to build AOSP for personal use on my GNex, but before the camera mod I mostly kept quiet and helped out other devs where I could.

I'm not sure you would want to, would you? Despite being slimmed down this rom still has a bunch of vzw-specific framework, etc. I know [MENTION=270378]Cloudyfa[/MENTION] does some great work for many other variants.
