I myself have tried a number of things.

1. rooting and greenify

2. titanium backup freezing

3. art and dalvik

I think art gave a little bit more battery, but that may have been a placebo effect. lol i'm back to dalvik. After playig around with the phone...settings etc...I've concluded that there's only one thing that can give you good battry life. Set the brightness lower. I like my screen fairly bright as the screen looks great when bright. I've been in my room a lot today, so the auto brightnss (lux) had a low brightness....and my on screen time today was better than usual. 4 hrs with 30% left. Normally i only get 3 to 4 hours when i'm out. Plus, i'm on wifi for half the day.

That's the other that helps...wifi. It'll give you better life if wifi is on.

of course, there's also the carrier signal which will eat up your battery as well if the signal is lousy. My battery life in Taiwan is a lot better than when I use it here in Manila. And it was a very significant increase too. So the carrier signal is a major factor. Different for different people (and countries)

There's really no magic solution to increase your battery life. I suggest you set your phone's brightness to auto and adjust it to as low as you can tolerate and see if you can live w the battery life it gives you.

Me...I just set it brightly and have a charger in my car, office, plus a portable battery with 10k mah. haha
[G3 General] Mistertac:
Do you use Better Battery Stats at all?

That along with a WakeLock Detector you can find out what's killing your Battery so much. Quite a few people have posted their BBS and it shows their phones are Awake over twice the amount of their screen on time and also their CPU is running at much higher frequencies than normal during those times.

You also can use App Ops to set it up so that Google Play Services and other Google apps don't keep your phone Awake. Have you tired things like that at all?

Hello everyone, question for all you battery lovers out there

I'm debating on putting the keep away feature on my location service off. Will it mess with my map when I'm using traveling? like using the map to go somewhere, device fall asleep and it have to keep looking for location?
[G3 General] blublub:
Guys I come from a galaxy s3 with cm11.

With just very few to no usage it dropped 2-3% / hour.

The G3 with f 10e drops LESS than 2% / hour after most of LG software removed or frozen.

So actually the LG fw isn't bad, just the usual bloatware background software sucks

My stats yesterday with some moderate to heavy usage. The standby on the phone is quite the deal.

Rooted, debloated, and running Greenify.
[G3 General] IXChicharitoXI:
Woooaaahhhhh that's crazy lol
[G3 General] helikido:
Its the standby time. For some reason you get more battery life when the phone idles and then you use it. My battery has gotten good now.

---------- Post added at 05:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:40 AM ----------

On the 5th day of ownership i go from 4:30 of sot to 7 hours. Thats awesome.

Running Dalvik still, carrier iq off, greenified.
[G3 General] tee00max:
What apps are you guys mostly using Greenify for? Are you using it for any system apps??
[G3 General] Sachinfan:
what's the solution if you don't want to root the phone.......any custom setting will help?
[G3 General] jamespat93:
Wow, can you share your settings, what did you root and debloat? What brightness do you use? What are you greenifying? Do you have any other mods? And are you using Art or Dalvik?

Can you share your settings too please helikido?
[G3 General] Robin2:
I'm not impressed with the battery life of this phone, especially with the screen on. I always use a brightness setting below 50% and I don't have a lot of apps installed. Standby time is pretty nice though, but with moderate use I can just see the percentages dropping.
[G3 General] Jiyeon90:
The secret is turn airplane mode on and watch movies on the lowest brightness

?
[G3 General] Mistertac:
Exactly! In a very very dark room. You'll get your 7 hrs screen on time that way for sure

[G3 General] iLHaNroID:
This is a moderate usage with auto brightness. 32/3Gb D855 EU model, stock i.e. untouched. That's enough for me.
[G3 General] stas333:
How did you get such results? You got to tell what settings and mods you have done.
[G3 General] iLHaNroID:
Nothing special with my G3; no modding, no root and even no any tweak at all. As homescreen replacement I use Nova. ART as from day 1 (applied hard reset immediately when I got the phone then switched to ART before sound anything).

On WiFi when I am at home or work, otherwise LTE. Location services open, "Ok Google" anywhere, auto-sync email, fb, what's-up, linkedin etc. I am not gamer, what I do under the screen-on-time is mainly web browsing and some YouTube videos. Needless to count placed and received calls. Apparently I am just lucky, considering with others concerns.
[G3 General] BoundsChecking:
No airplane mode in my usage. I use the phone to check calls and texts. I also watch a few YouTube videos. I'm not on my phone 24/7 (full time college student) but I am on it quite a bit. The battery is enough for me to leave it off of the charger at night and it'll get me through my classes the next day.
[G3 General] GoBigRed:
I am yet to get >2.5 hours SOT. Greenified a few apps today so we'll see if that helps. Wakelock Detctor shows pretty high Google Music and Google Search usage. I actually like Google Now so I haven't turned off Location Services. The battery lasts me a day on average usage, but I'm underwhelmed. I had higher expectations coming from the Nexus 4.

[G3 General] Pfeffernuss:
Nope.

Brightness minimal. Data off :cool:
[G3 General] bedberkut:
I use supersu too and have no battery drain.

I think the battery life is hard to compare since there are so many variables but i can describe the circumstances under which i get 6.5h of SOT:

-Indoor at 60% auto brightness

-almost always Wlan and good signal

-ART and nova launcher ( about 1 hour more SOT for me)

-Greenify for almost all apps

-No location, no google now, no ok google, no bluetooth, no facebook etc.

The only apps running in the background are some lg, greenify, whatsapp and cloudmagic.

-Mainly used for reddit and youtube, almost no gaming

If i change one of those, for example if i'm traveling (higher brightness, no wlan, bad signal) i get much lower battery life, most of the time around 4 hours of SOT.
[G3 General] atistang:
I've had mine for 2 weeks and haven't had a single shut down that I didn't tell it to do.

Try doing a factory data reset, I am in pore service areas all day and with 50% brightness I still get around 4hrs SOT with about 16hrs off the charger
[G3 General] lossah:
No idea why but today tapatalk drains ALOT of battery. Almost as much as the screen.

Same firmware as yesterday without this problem.

Anyone know why tapatalk drains so much? As far as i know i only added one more forum.
[G3 General] Joao Oliveira:
Google Music is HUGE resource hog and battery eater. Since i never use it i've deleted it. along with google books, google play magazines thing
[G3 General] GoBigRed:
I LOVE Google Music. I have been a subscriber since day one. I wish deleting it was an option for me. I'm going to play around with some CPU tweaks and see if I can improve my battery life.
[G3 General] splcfiya:
Yeah 2.5 SOT is quite low. I too came from the Nexus 4 (which the highest SOT i ever got was like 3.5 hours on like 15 hours of usage), and have only had the G3 for one day, but I was able to pull 4 hours of SOT on my first day while downloading apps, taking video, and using longer than my normal usage on data vs wifi.

I was able to get 4.5-5 hours of SOT on 17 hours battery with my old Evo LTE, but that was on sprint 3g and watching video in airplane mode for 2 hours.
[G3 General] lexluthor:
If you are using Google Music to play your music, then that's what the wakelock is. It has to keep the device awake to play music.

Are you saying Google Music is waking the device frequently when you aren't using it to play music?
[G3 General] a_akash:
What do i do next

So installed the app but could you tell me exattly what screenshots would help you understand the drain ? :good:
[G3 General] Mistertac:
If your talking about Better Battery Stats grab screenshots of your " Other " and "Partial WakeLocks" screens for now

Also make sure you have enabled BBS root features under advanced prior. It'd be good to see these shots after at least a few hours of normal use.

---------- Post added at 04:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:18 PM ----------

Also the " Alarms " screen
[G3 General] a_akash:
no option

I dont even have the option to view the partiaal or the other wakelook screens. all i see is Run usage, cpu ,wakeup and kernel .
[G3 General] GoBigRed:
Does this look odd to anyone? I'm able to make it through the day but only with about 2 hours SOT. I use Google Music to and from work every day. I only use Google+ for photo and video backup. I disabled notifications today so maybe that will help.

Same story here : from 10e to 10g yesterday, and today I still have 65% battery with 2h38 min of SOT, art, rooted with greenify, WiFi on for almost 2h, no LTE, 5h20 off the plug. Brightness on auto 20%.

Let's see at the end of the day.
[G3 General] MassiveEffect:
Seems like with every update the battery life is improving. Will know with more days of usage for sure. :fingers-crossed:
[G3 General] SamDH1:
My battery increased loads in G from E. Heavy usage today, streamed music, usual texting and Twitter browsing, just used Strava which normally knocks battery below 30%, sometimes 20, so I am very pleased to be above 60 at this time! :]
[G3 General] lossah:
LG G3 random edition. Some devices: "best battery life ever!!!!!!!" others "nothing changed".

Nope definitely an improvement, my 855 G3 is even way cooler with full brightness movies too; Netfilx used to make this incredibly hot, but it's fine now, and less battery drain while watching too... Woop! :)

[G3 General] jasvncnt1:
My last cycle.
[G3 General] MassiveEffect:
Seems like an impressive run. Got a break down of your app usage?
[G3 General] jasvncnt1:
No I should have taken a screen shot of the rest. The stand by battery on this phone is pretty amazing. And of course a lot of that phone time was at night not being used.
[G3 General] SamDH1:
Waaah, might be stupid to ask but did you do a quick blast on the charger at all during that time? 30min on 2% is awesome! But if that power range continued through the cycle, then it should have only reached 25 hours, right?
[G3 General] jasvncnt1:
Nope no charging at all. That was mostly on WiFi. My usage is mainly email..web surfing..Pulse news..tapatalk..phone calls and lots if texts. I'm not really a gamer at all. I think the main thing that really helps is just the stand by idle. If I let the phone sit after full charge it will stay at 100% for a good 18 hours which is nuts.
[G3 General] SamDH1:
Just did a test on standby to see how long it would go before it dropped a percentage, and mine is in the same field. :D What really jams my power up now though is Google Music which is a shame, CUZ otherwise it would last way over a day. Oh well
[G3 General] MassiveEffect:
Not surprised a lot of Google stuff is now nothing more than bloatware that eats battery.

On my old rooted Xperia just removing all the crap Google forces on us and especially removing Google now brings a huge improvement in terms of battery life on all day 3G. I eek out a day of usage now when before it can't even last 8 hours because it was losing so much battery % per hour doing nothing on-screen.

If am getting the G3 I will be rooting and removing those turds coz I am sure the G3 can do much much more after that.
[G3 General] Joao Oliveira:
I've probably that told like 10 times already :angel: Google play music is one of the biggest battery eater on android. I never used it and never will. Spotify all the way.
[G3 General] SamDH1:
Yeah I've cancelled my subscription and hoping to Spotify next month, the fact that the "Couldn't play back stream" error keeps coming back is really bugging me too. All the other google software has no issues on battery, or that's what the data I have tells me, just Play Music. It's almost on par with the screen usage right now

Hi guys,

I'm having serious problems with my battery, I never get to 3h of on screen time... I have the wifi, GPS and data always on, and the brightness is on auto with 0% of minimum brightness. I usually get 12h disconnected from the charger and something like 2h and half of screen on time. This is way worse than my G2... I initially was on the V10A and switched to V10G to see if it get better, but I think it's even worse. Is this normal? Is there a firmware recommended for better battery life?

I'm really thinking of selling my G3 for this... :(

Also something that I don't think it's normal is that yesterday I charged my phone before I go to bed and when I woke up (8h) the phone was with 88%,i lost 12% without touching the phone...

thanks in advance.

Im getting insane battery life. I unplug at about 7am, and rarely use the phone until 10am, whats the reported remaining battery at that point? 100%!

After 20 mins of tethering and a little use screen use I then stop using it until about 12, by which time its at 95%. It then gets hammered for 30mins, all screen on and tethering, browsing etc, it then drops to about 86%. Its in the evenings it gets used most. When I get home there is usually 80% left after at least an hour of tethering and an hour on screen time. By the end of the day with a further 2 hours of music, 2 hours of youtube and some browsing its still at 60%, all while connected to my G Watch.
[G3 General] Skimi:
Do you have the same settings as me? And what's the firmware you are using?

I get great battery life... Coming from an N5, this is way better. I'm on 43% brightness (sweet spot for me) and streaming Google play music to my Bluetooth headphones at gym and also BT in my car on the way to work... Currently at 53% battery with 2 hours screen on time, only on WiFi for the past 30 mins. I'm at 11 hrs 20 mins off charger. I could probably run for days with lower brightness as screen is 53%of usage. I'm on stock tmobile as I just got it this past Sunday and am just checking out the stock experience until I cave in and start playing around.

You would think but we all know that it takes a while for it to drop to 99 then it drains quicker. I'll keep everyone updated. Right now I'm at 2 hours of SOT with 66% left. Kept it in over night without charging it and it lost 5%

That screenshot doesn't tell much. How much was the SoT?

You need to post your signal graph to see how good or bad your cellular reception was.

Install GSAM app to get App Sucker break down to know what is using most of the battery. You might be having a wake lock issue with some rogue process(s) keeping the phone awake even then screen is off. In that case you will also need the Better Battery Stats app
[G3 General] RichardW1992:
Thought I would share my experience.

Out the box battery life was adequate, but not fantastic, hitting about 3-4 hours screen on time with minimal usage, and also standby drain of about 10% over night. This was about the same as my old phone, so something I could live with, but I expected more.

Since the update to 10g firmware battery life has shot up. And going by over users reports its set to increase more with subsequent firmware releases.

I now easily get 5 hours screen on time with moderate usage. This includes an hour or so of gaming, a 30 minute phone call, frequent social media usage, facebook, instragram, whatsapp. Wifi / data, and synchronisation are on throughout the whole day.

This is running the phone on Dalvik, with Greenfiy and various other Xposed modules. Thermal Daemon Mitigation off, CPU High Temp Property off, and Dynamic Frame Rates disabled set to 60fps. The phone flies, with only a hint of lag, probably due to the nature of dalvik. Sure it gets hot at times, but the full power is available to all applications now when required, and the battery life is still very satisfactory.
[G3 General] MassiveEffect:
Interesting usage experience report you have there, one thing most haven't mentioned though is how fast the battery tanks if you were to use the camera a lot in a day. Like lots of photos and video capture along with your regular daily usage scenarios.
[G3 General] hooozy:
I have already put another screenshot for that. Total usage was only 9 hours and battery dropped to 6%. Anyways I will install the app and share the results. Thanks:o
