Now that I am back on a phone with a removable battery again., I just go by my old standby to get great battery life. I get a spare OEM battery, a wall charger and I run an app that disables data/wifi with the screen off, with short bursts every few minutes to grab any emails. When the battery gets low or I am going out for the evening, I just swap batteries and I never have to tether to a charger. I can pop a new battery in and have 30 minutes SOT before it will move from 100%. The battery gets a significantly better charge when in a wall charger. I got the battery and charger on eBay for about $19.

The screen is always going to be the #1 consumer, especially on this phone. A key piece of info is missing - your screen on time.
[G3 General] hamad138:
GPS OFF, Locations OFF, LTE OFF.

Top 3

1.Display 60% 70% Brightness

2.Browser 11%

3.Android Os 10%

No big wakelocks, on Standby almost no drain, if screen on, battery usage high.

I think it has a little bit weaker battery then Nexus 5
[G3 General] trincisor:
Keep LTE on you'll get better battery life.

You'll have to wait for the phone to settle in to get stable battery results.

Second day with phone - down to 5% with 5 hours 32 mins screen on time. Mostly Wi-Fi - maybe 30 mins 3g/4g. Max auto 100% brightness the whole time. Mostly browsing with some streaming of horse races.

Didn't do a soft/hard reset before or after the update, so maybe this could solve the problem.....or is it a bug ?
[G3 General] zkyevolved:
Well, I'm charging it up to 100% and I just did a battery pull. 4.5 hours off the charger and I'm at 60% on STOCK battery. I'm going to use the Mugen battery until this gets fixed. This is really unacceptable battery life in all honesty. I'm a light user, imagine a heavy user!!!

Very impressed with stock 12B on VS985

I upgraded to the G3 from my Gnex on Verizon and I have to say that I am just amazed at the fantastic battery life...especially standby time on the LG G3. On my Gnex, towards the end, my battery was dying within 5-7 hours after being unplugged with hardly any screen time. Being off Wifi (i.e on 3G or 4G) was a huge battery drain on the Gnex.

With the G3, I had a mind boggling experience of checking my email 4.5 hours into the day, to notice that I was still at 100% battery life (I had screen on time of ~ 2 mins). I'm now almost 9 hours into the day (on 3G the whole time) and battery is showing 92% with ~10 mins of screen time (busy day today). With screen on (auto mode and ~ 50-60%) and heavy use, I usually see ~ 18% per hour drop, so I could potentially still get around 5 hours of screen time.

This is with rooted and bumped phone, stock everything. After rooting and ROMing on the Gnex and still being underwhelmed with its performance towards the end (and seeing my wife's Rezound still performing well) I've decided to stick with stock for now as I am enjoying a lot of the stock LG features and I prefer having a stable phone with reliable battery life. Only tweaks have been to disable a bunch of Verizon and LG apps that I don't plan on ever using. It feels like I have a smartphone with the battery life of one of my beloved flip phones from many years ago!

Well, battery life is 100% back to normal! Stock everything. I just waited a few days, did a battery pull once, and let it discharge once to 10% or so and then back up! Done. It took like 2-3-4 days to get back to normal, but it's good news that this build isn't TOO different. :)
[G3 General] amarinos:
Just an update from my side as well: did a hard reset, disabled Location Reporting, Find my Phone and all other safety features that come with LL, and also left the phone to completely discharge once, and then did a full charge with the phone turned off.

[G3 General] alfablac:
Getting the same 5h SOT , over 60h on standby, -1% overnight since 10e. Don't really know why people are experiencing bad battery.

They probably need to check their wakelocks. I'm on 20e.
[G3 General] pingnew:
What is «10e» or «20e» ?
[G3 General] Pfeffernuss:
10e = KitKat. 20x Roms are Lollipop based.
[G3 General] elribatejano:
Hi guys,

About this all i can say is, my battery life with 20x is better than the kikat. When i updated to lolipop i had made a full wipe(I belive that is important to say).

With heavy usage and i mean very heavy use, 3g\4g turn on (pushing mails exchange\gmail and hotmail as default); playing ingress 3h a day (high gps precision) and candy crush saga; phone calls; message (whatsapp; hangout) and other basic stuff, i have got:

Lolipop:

27h51m battery life

Screen: 3h40m

KitKat:

28h20m mine best

2h15m of screen

I tried to have the same settings, brigthness at 50% (Auto); knock code ON; LG withgets and i have stock rom, without root and default launcher.

I'm trying at this point Nova Launcher to see if there is any change on battery life.

So for me lolipop is better than kitkat.
[G3 General] alfablac:
The KDZ or software versions. The tens are based on KK (Android 4.4.2 and 4.4.4) and the twenties on Lollipop (5.0)
[G3 General] Saratoga79:
LG firmware version. 10x are Kit Kat based and 20x Lolli Pop based Roms.
[G3 General] brandaopj:
I am getting terrible battery life with original lollipop ROM 20e.

After install it I've done a factory reset.

I use all services on and I can't get through an entire day. 2 hours of on screen time at the end of day and my battery is gone.

If I root the phone and install a custom ROM can I get a better battery?

PS: I don't play games and don't hear music on my phone. Do the usage is mostly web browsing and a little of social networks.

If you have indeed enabled all settings -as you say- then this is normal. Location Reporting is very energy-consuming. In Google Settings check under Location, Security and Google Now. If you have enabled all of the above, then it is expected that you can't make it through the day. However, just disabling Reporting and toying with the other settings (i.e. the security features or the location fix method) you can go back to the normal 2-full-day battery life :good:

Recently got myself a G3 and I am pretty happy with it overall but battery life is damn shame.

Since I got it from a not so trusted distributor I don't want to be quick to root and I am staying stock for the time being. Problem is battery life.. I barely get 20 hours of usage with 2,5h SoT and the problem according to the battery settings is 'Android OS' which is keeping my phone awake about half of the time. Since 4.4 doesn't allow us to view wakelocks without root I am left helpless and can't identify the problem. Does anybody have a clue about this ?
[G3 General] hokiealumnus:
All I can say is that something is definitely wrong. That's not normal G3 battery life. Perhaps the not so trusted distributor gave a not so stock battery? Heh.

If you're still on 10b, try 11c or 12b and see if it improves maybe?
[G3 General] steelclaw:
V10I and no OTA updates for my phone. Every one else with the D855 model seems to be getting 5.0 update but not me...

There are batteries you can buy with 3500mah but wunder if that dont break the lg g3

Anyone?
[G3 General] steelclaw:
Most of the time those batteries are fake - quick example 'Gold' batteries.

I only know of Mugen and Anker that offer quality batteries with a little capacity increase which is made possible by removing some battery circuits like the one which is measuring temperature. My old HTC Sensation battery was 1730mAh and the one I had by Anker was 1900mAh and it was pretty awesome. 2 years now and still kicking.

Hello, i bought an used stock lg g3 .... The stand by time is amazing more than 8 hours on battery at 100% . Once i start using it battery life goes to hell, i leave it on auto brightness and just by browsing stuff on chrome i loose 10% like every half an hour. I play asphalt 8 and it never heats up so i know thats not the issue. Any ideas why does my battery suck so much when using google chrome or even stock browser?

What are your location settings? Location services can be a big battery hog.
[G3 General] rowbaggie22:
I think this is bad battery location is turned off brightness not on auto but I'm 20% what am I doin wrong
[G3 General] meyerweb:
You've got 17+ hours on the battery. What kind of life do you expect?

As for Android OS using the highest percentage, understand that percentage is a zero sum game. The total of all usage (apps, screen, OS, services) must always equal 100%. So the less you use your phone, the lower the percentage used by apps and the screen, and the higher the percentage used by the OS, which has to run all the time.
[G3 General] steelclaw:
Location settings have always been on battery saving mode. Have even tried with no location services and battery drain is still huge. Read a lot and experimented a lot without success. My last resort is root.
[G3 General] meyerweb:
Also check Google Location Reporting settings. Location reporting can be a battery hog.
[G3 General] rowbaggie22:
Well 2 answer ur ratty response I used to get 25 or 28 hours now it's about 17 hours only thing I done was turn location settings off
[G3 General] steelclaw:
Also off since I first got the phone. I know my way around android to say the least. Anyways I just compared it to a friends G3 and he got pretty much the same stats. ~25% of the time the phone is awaken by 'Android OS' , average 24h on battery, 3h screen on. I guess I am not going to wait to see if the device is faulty and I'm just gonna root it after new years and see how far development for the fabilous phone has gone. Any ROM suggestion that keep the stock OS and gives decent battery life under 5.0 ?
[G3 General] meyerweb:
Sorry, but I've never seen anyone who actually uses the phone get anywhere close to 28 hours. Your phone must be a miracle.

Other people who had issues with battery life on Lollipop seemed to solve the problem with a factory reset.

---------- Post added at 05:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:48 PM ----------

Which ROM depends on what version of the phone you have (e.g., Sprint, Verizon, etc.) Look in the Development and Original Development forums for your version and you should find lots of info.

How do you get this performance ? Wich settings ?
[G3 General] zkyevolved:
A big factor is WIFI. If you use Wifi, then you'll get much better battery life. The reason for this is energy efficiency. Using data over 3G / 4G takes up a lot more battery life than over wifi, which is short ranged communication. 3G 4G is longer ranged which means your phone has to pump more power for the same data because it has to communicate with the tower. I can EASILY get 1/3 more SOT in a day if I use wifi. Maybe even 50% more. It also depends on your usage. If you're tweeting and writing Whatsapp messages all day, then it'll go down faster. If you're more localized like writing a long email, this means your phone uses only internal processes and depends a lot less on data over the internet. I'm sure if I turned brightness down all the way, and kept the screen on 100% of the time, and just left it on an email, I could get 6-7 hours. I can turn on airplane mode, too! Right before taking a screenshot I can boost everything back up, and voila!

Every person's usage is different. There are also Wifi, coverage, carrier differences to consider.

[G3 General] Azzlanoo:
My battery life has been quite bad recently and I suspect the reason for this being the recent Android 5.0 update.

I got the android 5.0 update about a week ago, the reason being that my phone is Swedish (we got 5.0 pretty late), and everything seemed fine at first. But I started noticing the battery draining much, much faster whilst the phone being totally idle. Before the update the battery percentage would drop no more than 2% after hours of being completely idle but now it drops 2 % every 20 minutes.

This gets way worse when I am actually using the phone. The battery just falls down in a hurry when doing nothing more than writing some messages in Whatsapp. I really have no clue as to how I should go about fixing this problem.

My G3 is not rooted, completely stock with most of the bloatware deactivated (atleast).

Does anyone else suffer the same fate as me and does anyone have any neat tips on how to tackle this problem?

I've said on the Lollipop thread about how bad my battery was after the other update. It was horrendous compared to kk so I went back but it was bugging me so I tried again.

What I did was reset the phone, download mode, flash v20a, reset again and let it update all the way to v20f.

Since then I'm getting easily a day and getting well over 5hrs screen on time now which is up to where I was with kk. Previously I'd been lucky to get 3hrs on Lollipop. Might be worth a try if it's bugging you.

Can anyone get more than 4 hours of SOT without tinkering at all?

I just got a G3 (D855K, 2GB RAM) a week ago, and I seem to be consistently getting about 3.5 hours of SOT over a 16 hours day. I have wifi off, LTE on, BT off, location on, auto brightness (65% on the slider) on

There are nothing in the battery usage stats to suggest any rouge apps, as screen is the biggest source of power usage. This followed by Android OS, which typically keeps the device awake for about 4 hours a day

I like the phone so far, but the battery life has been a bit disappointing considering the 3000mah battery capacity
