You're at 100% after 8 hours?? o_O

You have the GSAM app sucker break down on that run by any chance?
[G3 General] Mistertac:
For those of you having the issue where your changes to stock Kernel are not sticking just grab the SELinuz Mode Changer app from the play store and set to Permissive.

I have no issues using SetCPU after doing that

Here's mine from 3h 34m of battery use today:

100% still!

Right now it's at 92% after 5h 40m. Estimated time remaining: 62h 19m

My sister has the same phone(on Sprint, even though I work for T-Mobile!) and has the same thing going on.

Yesterday my phone battery decreased normally and was at 5% after heavy-ish use over 16 hours.

[G3 General] wulf90:
So, after reading through a decent amount of the pages I seem to find that my battery is not performing like it should, but only when the screen is on. Standby time is still excellent but screen on time really zaps charge. I have followed many of the suggestions such as signing out of hangouts, disabling google now, and disabling plenty of bloatware apps such as amazon kindle and nfl mobile. My screen brightness is set to 0% on auto.

I'm running stock rom on verizon. Just purchased the phone on the 22nd and have had only two charging cycles.

Any other suggestions? I can post pictures of the graph where it's apparent when the phone is on due to the steep declines.
[G3 General] Mistertac:
I made a somewhat simple guide of things I've been doing to help with my battery. Feel free to look. Maybe you've tried everything but maybe you'll see something you haven't...

I'm facing almost the exact same issue as you are, except I'm on ATT. Looking for suggestions as well. (I am not rooted)
[G3 General] wulf90:
I'll check it out. It's just I find it odd that I'd need to tweak it so much for the battery to perform normally.
[G3 General] Mistertac:
Well battery life is so hard to gauge especially if you're on here comparing to what others have posted. So much goes into what someone may have gotten that day for battery life. The apps they use, how their signal is and if on WiFi or using Location Services. If they've debloated the heck out of their stock ROM and are using tools like Greenify... Obviously how bright their screens were at most the day. If they've made any Kernel tweaks at all that could help.

A lot can go into someone's actually battery use.. So don't get frustrated. I see you haven't had the phone long. What was your previous phone? Were you used to running aosp Roms or any custom Roms for that matter?

I have a good deal of experience in tweaking Roms and kernels and I'm still chasing down Sensor Wakelocks and some other things on this phone... I'm also new to LG

[G3 General] wulf90:
New to the phone but not android. Previous was a Samsung gs3 where at first battery was normal but degraded over the years, as expected. No, I haven't actually used custom roms although I considered it.

As far as my use on this new phone, it's simple texting, fb, twitter, and the occasional google search. I use only mobile data as our connection at my house is through a verizon jetpack. Signal strength is poor in some areas of the house but that hasn't really seemed to affect it much as I've said standby time is definitely up to par.
[G3 General] Mistertac:
Well same here. Standby time is great. As soon as this v8 powered screen fires up you watch the gauge go right down lol.

Hard for me to say since I came from an S4 running a SaberMod ROM with a 5200mah battery. The guys coming from G2s I think could really say how this phone stacks up. I just always think there's room for improvement no matter what.

Im coming from a G2, and im not mad at all. On my G2 running XDABBEB's 24a I was getting 24-36 hours with 4-5 SOT. On the G3 im getting 24-30hours with 3-4.5 SOT. I just got a new job and using the G2/G3 when my times are on the low side it because im at work most of the day and the signal is all over the place 4G-1X. I cant be more happy with the battery life I get even with that beastly screen.
[G3 General] leo72793:
So all day slacker radio over 4g lte spark via Bluetooth til just now with 3 hour sot. And this is the result. Had Netflix for an hour. Exchange and gmail sync every 2 hours and other stuff like camera etc
[G3 General] MassiveEffect:
That would be good if it was all on LTE, is that the case?
[G3 General] amarinos:
I am also coming directly from a G2 and I must say, the battery life on the G3 is actually great, way better than what I was expecting after reading the reviews. I had my G2 for about 8 months, and I was averaging 45-46H with about 3,5-4H screen time, with everything turned on (from LTE to NFC), screen set to 60%, stock ROM and kernel, never turned off even at night. My usual drill was to charge it every two days (48 hours), i.e. every second night. Mind you, the G2 was in the QuickWindow case since day 1, and this probably did make a difference (positive).

With the G3, with the exact same conditions (everything turned on, screen set to 60%, stock ROM and kernel), even from my 2nd charge I managed 42+ hours, with SoT between 2,5-3 hours (cant remember the exact number). And that is without the QuickCircle, which I just bought.

As expected, the G3 does not manage the same battery life as the G2, but comes pretty darn close. Taking into account the 5,5" QHD screen and the 2,5GHz of the SoC, I would have to say that this is pretty amazing, all things considered ;)
[G3 General] 557953:
Yep stayed at 100% for some time after that too, only few mins SOT, Wifi on all the time Data on all the time, today Im testing it with Wifi & Data off, and will try to use slightly less SOT and gonna see if it gets to 24hrs on 100% hahaha, gotta be a battery problem one way or another.
[G3 General] Mistertac:
Good to see G2 guys saying how good the phone is treating them. The most screen on fun me for had been like 5.5 hours. That day though I had terrible reception and I was playing with the stock Kernel settings and monitoring the frequencies a lot which drains battery.... So I'm quite happy.

I read an article online of a test someone ran when the G3 first can came out and they said they got a little over 7 hours screen on time with max brightness!!!! I'm not really buying that. Maybe with airplane mode on and everything else off!

This is the first phone I've had (DInc and GS3 previously) where I haven't had to think about battery life. I rarely end the day below 75% remaining. I did a 45 minute bike ride today with MapMyRide running and was still at 95% afterward. Granted, I'm not playing with my phone all day long, but my other phone died after sitting on the counter for 12 hours. My LG G3 lost a mere 6% over a period of 10 hours overnight on the nightstand.

Good enough for me!

Yesterday

Not as good today cause Google music was giving me crazy wakelocks(device awake for almost 3hrs)
[G3 General] MassiveEffect:
Here's what am doing. I like the size of the G3 easy for typing as I don't do single handed typing. If the size and ease of speed typing is your thing then the G3 is great but if battery life and high SoT with heavy usage in a day is more important to you then G2 hands down.

The SoTs between G3 and G2 can be closer than expected or far apart depending on someone's pattern of usage so it's pretty hard to put a firm number on it. G2 will undoubtedly give you higher SoT in any condition over the G3, it's really only a question of by how much.
[G3 General] hbkekko:
am i wrong or with the official v10e the battery life increased a lot?

with the v10a i was unable to reach 4h of display all day in wifi

now with the v10e i'm with 1h36m with 71%....not that bad
[G3 General] MassiveEffect:
Were your usage pretty much the same? GSAM app sucker stats would help a lot in understanding what you are seeing there between firmwares.
[G3 General] lossah:
My battery time decreased alot. Especially in sleep mode. And its a huge difference. From v10a to e.

Not sure what LG doing really. It seems like when they fix some phones, they make other worse. Same with battery temp, tho im so far lucky on that part. Max 37c so far after a 100% brightness and 2x Antutu runs after each other while charging. At this weather (hot as like never before! :eek:) its definitly amazing tbh.
[G3 General] MassiveEffect:
So it went to bad or good, your post is confusing. You say at the end it's amazing.
[G3 General] lossah:
Battery life = useless.

Temp = same as usual. As in amazing. So its not related to temp.
[G3 General] MassiveEffect:
Sounds bad.

Got a battery graph for that cycle run? GSAM app sucker break down would also be useful. For a more detailed look better battery stats will be needed to look for wakelocks and how long the SoC is actually in deep sleep.

Moderate to heavy usage.

These are my stats... I'm waiting for the update hoping for some improvements. I have to stick with 20/30%automatic brightness to achive a full day.
[G3 General] MassiveEffect:
You might want to check for wakelocks, that's way too much android system activity going on there when you have been on WiFI most of the time so the drain on battery shouldn't be that high for such low SoT over 17 hrs.

What about the cellular reception in your area?
[G3 General] Skin1980:
Yesterday with 10g i lost 5% in 12 hr.... With wifi on and galaxy gear connected (28 min SOT). So i can say very nice on my side.

[G3 General] Skin1980:
Use betterbatterystats to check the cause of that battery draining.

I personally noticed a huge amount of wakelocks caused by phone. In fact, also if my carrier support fastdormancy, it doesn't work well, so i can suggest to disable it.

I'm getting pretty good battery life. Very satisfied.
[G3 General] geonahta:
Coming from g2 with cloudyfa pro2 Rom I felt the battery was worse. Copied the task manager and installed/updated it on my stock/rooted g3. I stopped all running services that I don't care about (ie all minus Gmail, location, search, contact sync etc).

Then with no frills cpu tool I checked that the minimum cpu clock was set to the max! Maybe this is a reason of reported overheating? Changed it to 300 and selected ondemand governor. I will report if I notice anything strange.
[G3 General] MassiveEffect:
That's interesting, I did notice some odd behavior on the G3 in some of the review videos posted on YouTube. Their units showed Core 0 and Core 3 stuck at 1450mhz all the time while the phone did nothing, Core 1 and Core 2 were shut down. It seems like the minimum frequencies are too high when the phone is awake with screen on.
[G3 General] Mistertac:
Yea these phones on their Interactive

Governor seem to heavily favor Cpu1 and Cpu4 and

Leave Cpu2 and Cpu3 off .

With screen on while I write this mine has both cores sitting at 300mhz.

As soon as I type the ramp up to 1.2 then back down to 300.

I've been trying to tweak the stock Kernel as much as I can but we t really just need a custom one!

FYI if you phone starts acting funny and rebooting after your Kernel changes grab SELinux Mode Changer from the play store and set to Permissive.

Much appreciated if you could post results from the run on your next charge cycle.

I too never game on a my phone. Heavy YouTube streamer over WiFi and lots of WhatsApp IMs over data plan with Skype always online in the background with 2-3 gmail accounts synced. I might do the occasional web browsing when needed over WiFi/Data. I also tend to do a lot of VPN but it's not that regular on a daily basis.

[G3 General] mgbotoe:
all i did was greenified my games with notifications. I am running with art. I also disable carrier iq (just the apks with titanium) I decided to leave all the system apks alone...and in all honestly, that is it. I notice anytime i TRY to get good battery life, it doesn't get to where I want. coming from samsung phones, the lg is practically bloat-less so i decided to not touch the system apps.

I know, not much help lol
[G3 General] bustinstugots24:
I too have greenified as well. You are a big help. I'll try again tomorrow for a better SOT. the stand by time on this device is incredible. Just 2 quick questions, how are you liking it so far comparing it to a Samsung and I've seen a few posts about carrier iq but not really sure what this is. Can you clarify? Is it carrier related/specific? I'm on tmobiles variant. Again you've been very helpful!

EDIT: just realized you're using the same version as me the T-Mobile variant lol ignore that question but again what is carrier iq???
[G3 General] mgbotoe:
from my understanding its a process where your carrier gathers informations and send it of? Not really liking that idea so i never bother reading too much into it. All i know is that it gathers information and send it of somewhere and its always running in the background (perhaps research on it or someone can provide us with better information. to disable find system manager using titanium, it should be three apks. there's more with in our system and framework and what not but i never bother with those...those three should sufficient. also make sure you disable it under setting before doing that.

and im loving phone...it provides me with everything the note does minus all the unnecessary things that i end up freezing because they do not work half the time.
[G3 General] bustinstugots24:
I checked for it under settings but didn't see it. Could you provide a screen shot?
[G3 General] bustinstugots24:
Are these the 3 we speak of???
[G3 General] mgbotoe:
yes those three
[G3 General] bustinstugots24:
I can only disable 1 out of the 3 under my apps the other 2 will only allow me to force close

The system manager notification is the one I wad able to disable the other 2 are just greyed out.
[G3 General] lossah:
Why do people compare screen time without mention the brightness level? :P thats pointless? :0
[G3 General] mgbotoe:
Lol how is that pointless exactly? I use lux for mine to deal with my screen adjustment if that means anything to you. I can't do above 60 like the rest of yall with better eyes than me ^.^ since i pretty go blind after that

Having 6 hours with my setting im sure if my screen was set at above 60 will only loose about 30 minute, which frankly is still a great battery life. My friend runs at around 80 usually and get way above 5
[G3 General] lossah:
Compare 0% brightness without auto and 100% without auto.

Whats your result? Because people here say "i get x hour" "but i only get y hours" "yours battery better than mine buuh need to fix asap".

Thats why. "Lol". :0

[G3 General] Mistertac:
I don't think the battery life is really that bad considering the screen size and the fact it's QHD.

Just go on eBay and grab a spare battery and USB/ac charger like I did. It was only like $25. Having another battery fully charged and on deck is pretty awesome and you don't worry as much.

My S4 had a 5200mah battery , maybe when the big ones get released for this phone I'll look into that as well

Wish the extended batteries were out, I'm so used to the big one my s4 had. Although I also like how sleek this phone is with stock battery and cover not sure I'd want to bulk it up more..

The video playback doesn't differ at all. And mind you, surfing time depends on browser used very much .

You can't see the advantages of this 2k display 95% of the time you are looking on it, I don't want this display, but Lg isn't giving me the choice to buy a G3 with a 1080p display, so I want Lg to give me at least the same battery life as with the G2...

[G3 General] jeyd02:

[G3 General] biggiestuff:
I think the browsing times are very different because the browser is the one app that can utilize the higher resolution. So the longer you're in the browser the longer you are running at the higher resolution unlike watching a video that may only be 720p/1080p at most. The one thing that worries me is that once more apps start updating to support the higher resolution, the battery life of the g3 will get worse because it will be spending more time operating at the higher resolution.
[G3 General] rushless:
With more reviews now, it seems the concensus is the battery life is fine with calls, music and video. Anything that leverages the gpu, including web use drains the battery more than other devices due to the Qhd. They try to mitigate with display and chip throttling, but that is the trade off for the Qhd.

Whatever be said & reviewed about G2, The biggest flaw of that device is its UI layout. Unbelievably crappy. I liked everything else about the phone. The handling, specs, camera was good.

So i was waiting for a device either to be released by Google or by LG. LG G3 swept me off my feet. The early reviews that have come out which have been done using korean devices have shown pretty decent Battery perf. Not as bad as expected out of a QHD unit.

Waiting for reviews of UK / US devices. As of now G3 may not be a viable upgrade option for G2 owners, but for ppl with older devices, its def worth an upgrade.

LG G3 incredible design really makes it easier for handling a phone of this size.

Awaiting the device launch here in India.

I think the battery life for a 2k phone looks very promising and hopefully when the phone gets released in the UK/US it could be even better.
[G3 General] BrokenWall:
Everyone is forgetting the fact that it has a removable battery. Just like most phones that are released, shortly after you will be able to find something similar to the Mugen extended battery with a new back cover. I would use one of them and get like a 3400-3800mAh battery if it doesn't add alot of thickness to the phone.
[G3 General] Burgscheinkerkdeiktraast:
When I saw Mungen for LG 2 I don't want to see for LG G3. It costs up to 90 dollars and you get 500-900 mAh (more than original battery), so not good..... also phone gets much thicker.

Charge rate is only 1A so it'd take ages to recharge it.

LG ****ed things up with battery and this screen.
