If you think about it G3's battery life is going to increase with the next version of Android so you will get more SoT, that said so are all the other phones that are already very good on battery.

If the G3 is very good for you apart from the battery life then you have more reasons to go for it now because battery life will improve from what it is now. Should the G2 also get the next android update then it's going to beast even more, such is life.

I used to get such audio_out2 or something wake locks. turns out they were from the Skype raider running in the background. This however is in older version of skype, newer version of skype dont cause this.

If you aren't using skype then it must be some similar app that uses audio for it's working. Like a music app, or VoIP app of some kind.

Even an IM with voice message service could be the issue.

Yeah gotta agree with that, that is probably the only real benefit to the customer when they sign up for a walled garden.
[G3 General] Deagles:
I restore my phone because of this battery drain and i didn't install any apps so i don't think the apps causing it yesterday night i turn the senk off and sleep with %63 charge i woke up with the %56 battery so i consumed %7 battery it's so much better than before but still it's not enough

it shoud be max %3-4 percent.

I will try the turn the wifi on this time instead of the 3G and see how it's perform i think 3G causing it.
[G3 General] Japultra:
You should get better battery life when on wifi.
[G3 General] ppp2211:
I am now on holiday and the battery is once again proving to be amazing. I am not using 3g as I'm abroad, but I'm taking lots of pictures and recording lots of 1080p video, plus a lot of WiFi hotspot browsing.
[G3 General] DevilMayEmo:
Oh i have decided to go for the g3 imho the battery life is great and so is everything about it. Happy i didnt go for the sgs 5
[G3 General] MassiveEffect:
For any run and to analyze properly with BBS we'll need Partial wake lock, Kernel wake lock and Alarm screen shots.

The CPU States screen can also be useful but not a necessity.
[G3 General] pride_kr:
Hi, I last updated to J version.... a little bit more good on battery life, but was not even close to galaxy s5.... and yes it has a lot of 3g, 4g changes.... but all my smartphones did that without problems....

Just returned the G3 to the store and got a new one....

Strange this one was better one... still on A version and having a much better battery life... no freezes and just a little bit

of lag... didnt put on ART....

One thing that I realized was bad to my battery was Android OS.... always ON not letting phone deep sleep....

When I got into Account and Sync, inside Google Sync, realized that google was syncing a lot of useless stuff

like newstand, play books etc... turned all of and VOILA!

Havin a MUCH better battery life!
[G3 General] hooozy:
My phone is unrooted, cannot see partial wake lock and alarm.. Here are kernel wakelock and cpu States.. Can't we analyze anything from that?
[G3 General] vdude:
Thanks, Google sync was already turned off here. Still, no way to get more than 3h30 of SOT
[G3 General] Eagledig:
Realy good battery life for me ! more than 50 hours !
[G3 General] Pfeffernuss:
Not using data? In that case the result is normal/not incredible anyway :cool:
[G3 General] ppp2211:
I'm getting similar results with data on. That is 3 days on a single charge plus 4h of screen on time. With heavy usage it's 15-16 hours with 5h30min of SOT, and these results are very consistent. Also no battery saver.
[G3 General] ACR_Manny:
Some of us have better eyes idk lol. Umm I never have my brightness more than 50% then again I'm always indoors away from sun light when I use my phone. Because I know it sucks in direct sunlight. But then again maybe the reason I get good battery life is because I don't force my phone to 100% brightness everyday. Not saying you do just implying.
[G3 General] stevov:
Still on A with all Google uninstalled or frozen
[G3 General] DevilMayEmo:
Im on stock rom unrooted. Display bright ess set to auto at 30 mainly on wifi and been outside for a few hohrs yesterday. Do not play games on my phone....

The battery life so far has not disappointed me. Im happy .i seem to be able to break the 4 hour mark. With ease.

Then again ive never managed to deplete this phone once.

Im on art with a few non root tweaks such as the forced 60 fps and another tweak that has been posted on this page. God do i love this screen size i hardly ever make mistakes while typing.

Imho anyone with battery problems just go to amazon and search for anker slim portablr charger. For around 25 euros you can get the astro slim with 4600 mah which means an added 1.5x of battery life
[G3 General] Jagdish84:
I could've reached 5 hrs sot but wanted to charge the phone before I go to sleep... Plugged it in at 13% battery, I'm very pleased with my battery life so far...

3 weeks and 2 days later my battery finally came. Just waiting for that charging dock now. Seems like a legit oem battery for sure. If it's a knock off its a Damn good replication of it.
[G3 General] mikey4226:
I've had the phone for about 1 week now and battery life seems to be low compared to the rest of you. With light usage, I'm averaging about 3-3.5 hours of SOT. I text a fair amount, browse fb but no videos, and only stream music through Bluetooth for about 20 minutes a day max. I do have GPS on all the time (so I can track the phone in case I lose it or it gets stolen). I switch to WiFi as soon as I get home.

Attached are screenshots of my battery status currently.

Any ideas about why? I'm 100% stock right now...planning to root eventually, though.
[G3 General] DevilMayEmo:
Im quite sure it is because of gps. And make sure to manage your google account's sync liat. It seems to sync more unnecessary crap then one thinks.
[G3 General] jimv1983:
I wasn't trolling. It was an honest observation.
[G3 General] j_tan168:
I came from a GS5,now using the G3, to my amazement, battery life on my G3 is so bad, couldn't last a day, moderate use for 10 hours, battery's dead, my gs5 could survive the whole day even with heavy usage, n still have some juice for the next day. Is g3 battery really this bad? I need to charge twice daily, oh my...
[G3 General] tu3218:
Definitely should be lasting longer than 10 hours with moderate use. What's your screen brightness?
[G3 General] j_tan168:
Screen brightness is 60%, GPS is set to to power saving mode (network only), I turned off data as well. Standby Time is no problem when phones not in use.

But when u start using the phone, even just browsing the net, consumes battery too fast
[G3 General] tu3218:
Restart your phone to try and clear out any possible rouge app. Obviously the battery is going to drain more with usage but I still Dont think it should die after 10 hours. Especially if you turn data off. Hows your signal as well? What kind of screen on time are you getting?
[G3 General] j_tan168:
How do we check screen on time?
[G3 General] tu3218:
settings, battery, click where it says your battery percentage, than click screen under battery use details.
[G3 General] j_tan168:

[G3 General] MaxG338:
Today I turned off Google Now, auto-sync, background data, & location and kept brightness around 35%. Turns out without Google Now and their location services running you can get pretty good battery life with this phone (see attached screenshots). I think 5+ hours SOT is fine, although I did kind of have to restrict certain features of the phone to get that battery life.
[G3 General] j_tan168:
Okay, I will try this...see if there'll be any improvement...
[G3 General] daleski75:
As an experiment I uninstalled the following apps from my phone (on there but not used very much)

Paypal

Ebay

Deliveries

Amazon

Three inTouch (wifi calling, SMS)

Facebook

Facebook Messenger

Before with moderate use (3 hours SOT) my phone would need a charge after 17 hours and after making the changes above my phone hit again 3 hours SOT but 43 hours stand by time which is a massive improvement.

Phone is stock, not rooted (anymore) with no stock apps frozen or disabled.

Google now is on, location reporting is off, wireless off etc.
[G3 General] alfablac:
Really impressed with this phone:

22% drained on heavy use for 7 hours and 3 hours SoT.

This means it will last approx. 28 hours and 12 hours SoT. :laugh:
[G3 General] j_tan168:
I turned off Google now, n auto sync, SOT still bad, only 2 hours, see attachment
[G3 General] j_tan168:
Good for you, I could hardly even reach 2 hours SOT on moderate use, I'm already considering selling this phone :(
[G3 General] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
I've just gotten my G3 yesterday (FRICKEN LOVE IT)

Today had my first full charge. Brought it down to 2% as a sort of calibration. I managed 3.5 hours SoT. But I used it a good amount. Did anything and everything downloading apps still getting this phone to where I want it to be. You know how it is..

Anyways I was so very impressed with the phone actually. This thing is snappy it doesn't hang up it doesn't do a darn thing wrong. Its the whole package. I have found 70% auto brightness to be where I am sticking right now, and I haven't minded at all.

I think this phone has great potential and can't wait to see what it's like in a week. Will report back soon :)
[G3 General] Pfeffernuss:
Well, no. It doesn't mean that at all. The following three hours of SOT will drain you battery much, much faster :cool:
[G3 General] bustinstugots24:
Got a bit over 5 and a half hours of SOT last night. That's the most I've gotten in 3 weeks. When I first got the phone that was my average sometimes getting over 6 hours. Now on average I get around 4 and a half to 5 hour SOT. Got my second battery which is definitely a legit oem lg battery and I got the one plus one on the way I can't wait to compare.
[G3 General] trent999:
I noticed something I thought hilarious this morning. I had let the G3 charge run down overnight to ~10% and was catching up on the forums while watching how the battery did the rest of the way down. Things went pretty well...8%, 6%, then at 5% I got a message pop up saying I better plug in soon.

I checked the battery graph then, and behold ! The interpolated remaining life was showing another 4 hours, along with the graph to prove it !

I would have taken a screen shot to share this amusing prediction, but just then the phone shut down...
[G3 General] GTCC:
I get around 1-2 hours more sot from my Oneplus One than I do with my G3 but the screen on the G3 is so much better and my Oneplus One didn't have the yellow band that bad.

I haven't done an exact test but I think that the screen on the G3 is worth the trade. I haven't used my OPO since I got the G3 other than to complain the screens between it and the G3
[G3 General] bustinstugots24:
I've seen some posts of people showing 7 to 8 hrs of on screen time on the opo. Just a side discussion from the battery which camera did you enjoy better. The opo is so long I know it's going to feel huge compared to the opo
[G3 General] jhericurls:
For some reason I get better battery life on mobile data than Wi-Fi. I think LGs Wi-Fi software is very flaky, considering than even Wi-Fi hotspot doesn't even work.
[G3 General] GTCC:
Yes I get 7-8 hours or even more but it all depends on what your doing with the phone. I am not a heavy user but if anything I use the G3 more than I use either my OPO or M8 and I would say that I use it as much as I use my Nokia 1520

I got 12 hours out of my M8 when I got it first but I had just moved from windows phone and the time was spent setting up the phone with Zooper widgets and the like. I even got blasted on here by people saying I had just let the phone sit with the screen on.

The camera on the OPO wasn't that good at all, the 4k video was very good. I am not a big photo taker and I haven't tested the G3 much yet but from what I have taken so far the G3 is miles ahead especially on speed. I can use the volume button to open the camera and take a shot quicker than I can take a shot from an open OPO

Another thing I don't like about the OPO is the back on the 64gb but the phone itself is very light and well balanced.
[G3 General] bustinstugots24:
I heard nothing but rave reviews about how unique the back felt and it felt like soft sandpaper almost like velvet. Loving my g3 probably will end up selling the opo just wanted to see it person for myself.
[G3 General] GTCC:
Yeah everyone I showed the phone to thought that the back was nice as well, it is just that I don't like it.

[G3 General] ACR_Manny:
Yeah you have something sucking your battery power. Could be an app, try downloading one of them battery stats app and that should show you what's going on.

I'm experiencing horrible battery life, how to find out what exactly is sucking the battery? My phone is unrooted and installed GSAM and better battery stats but unable to find out the battery sucker. Pls help me out... also is it okay if I charge my phone full night because I've observed significant better battery performance when I did that, but I'm afraid doing that everyday would ruin my battery

Guys if you have bad battery life..Try this way..

I have 5 - 5.5 sot..I removed my phone last night from charger at 92% after 8h i check battery it was 89%.I am always on wifi or data..I measured for 1% to go down on 3.7 mins = 6.16 SOT

On data 3.4 mins for 1% =5.66 SOT

Im using two apks for that (combined)

[G3 General] Japultra:
What is your wifi strength and what is your dBm when on mobile network? If you have a weak wifi signal and a strong mobile signal, it might be why you're getting better battery life with mobile.

What do you mean the hotspot doesn't work? I use it all the time.
[G3 General] GTCC:
Surely it would depend on what you are doing with the phone and the brightness of screen to measure it properly. Playing a game is going to use 1% quicker than say looking at a webpage.

I usually get between 5 and 7 hours sot depending on what I'm doing.
[G3 General] 3thman:
i have the lg g2.. is the battery on the g3 better or worse or the same as the g2 ? plz help me.. i really want the g3 but im afraid of the battery
[G3 General] Pfeffernuss:
The battery life for sure is much worse! :good:
[G3 General] amarinos:
I don't know what the others are saying, but the battery life on the G3 is about on par with that on the G2. After many months of use (and gathering statistics) I was getting about 45-46 hours on the G2 (a solid 2-day's worth) with about 2,5h-3h SoT. With the same apps, same pattern of use and same "consumption points" (home, office, routes etc), I am getting 41-42 hours with the G3 (same SoT). That's about 10% worse in absolute terms than the G2, but taking into account the specs (and mainly the QHD screen and the 801) I'd say that this is almost the same....

ps: the above battery life stats are always with everything turned on (from NFC to GPS and LTE), 60% brightness, and QuickWindow/QuickCircle cases for G2 and G3 respectivelty.
[G3 General] WastedJoker:

[G3 General] j_tan168:

[G3 General] JmPTaz09:
Without posting a bunch of random stats/screenshots, I'll say I've owned all nexus devices (1-5) along with a random galaxy s2 and HTC oneS thrown into the mix... I use them all about the same and I get better battery life on this than probably all the rest. I can EASILY get 16 hours with 4 hrs screen on, which is what I think a phone needs to do. I mean yesterday I went to bed with 16 hours and 2 hours of screen with 48% left, and I use maps to navigate and stream Bluetooth music with Google play music in my car. I'm not sure how or why people complain about the battery... I use 44% brightness (seemed to be sweet spot for me before blacks and grays become a bit too light by making the screen brighter). Very happy with the phone, best one I've owned yet by a good clip.
[G3 General] Marcovanbasten:

Go into settings/apps and look under "running".. It will show all the running shoes and how much ram they are using.

I know Facebook is a killer and a few other apps that are always running in background.
[G3 General] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
I have had my phone for 5 days now, and am settling in quite nice.

I have to say that I am very pleased with the battery life I am experiencing! Ive never not worried about getting home after an 12 hour day, so I can get a quick charge before I go out with friends for the night- which is just about every day. I can power through 16 hours, and look at my phone and still be hovering around 45-50%! It is FANTASTIC!!!! This is exactly what I wanted from this phone.

I keep my screen at 70% auto - a feature I have never been a fan of because of the way it reacted on previous devices however on the G3 I have noticed that it reacts well and does not keep the screen ridiculously dim. I am on WiFi and data about equally throughout my day, 50/50. I use my phone for twitter, Instagram, browsing, messaging (group messaging, which used to kill the battery on my S4), I take pictures a lot and with this camera even more than I used to. I'm pretty much always using the phone. I don't game but for what I do, this battery life is fantastic!

I find myself at the end of the day actually trying to kill the battery.. 40% left... what to do!?!

Anyway here is yesterdays use for me, usually pass 4 hours SoT with no issues with some being up near 6. Happy customer here!

I am running the build the phone came to me with, with no updates available... 10d. Is there a way to get the versions of software you are all talking about? I'd like to try for some better SoT if I could.

Anyway... screens!

[G3 General] stevov:
As the old saying goes "if it ain't broke don't fix it" some updates have turned out to be not as battery friendly. If the phone is everything you hoped then content yourself until there are some definitive proofs as to the performance of more recent updates. I'm still on "a" rooted because I'm not going through the grief of resetting everything for the sake of 10 minutes battery life and a nanosecond of lag
[G3 General] bluegreenandroid:
I rooted my LG G3 (T-Mobile D85) on Monday and yesterday after a 26hrs of casual use (talk, text and web) I finally had to plug in. Not sure if the battery time is attributed to the rooting or the phone itself as I am not running any battery hacks.
[G3 General] MassiveEffect:
Sorry for the late reply.

Your phone is spending way too much time at 300Mhz so there is something waking the phone. You could install Wake Lock Detector app to know which app or what System process is causing it, to a certain degree without needing root. With root Better battery stats is more powerful though.

---------- Post added at 03:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:51 PM ----------

NO don't, these are fraud companies from china making labels on puny batteries. The exact same style for just about any other phone they make batteries for.

I have tried them for lulz and they were just that, crap.

Here is the best part, take that 3800mAh label off and you see another black printed mAh rating that's half of what it rated on the label! :laugh:

Never buy these unless it's from brands like ZeroLemon, Mugen etc. Those will be beefy and will require a new back cover to house such larger capacity batteries.
[G3 General] GTCC:
Personally I wouldn't trust batteries from anyone except the phone maker themselves or the companies you mentioned. Last thing you want is some cheaply made battery going bang.

I bought a spare from LG direct, now I just need to get a charger for it.
[G3 General] MassiveEffect:
G2 all the way, no need to even do a lot of comparisons. If battery life is your priority, look no further. G3 is for those who like bigger screens and the typing comforts, especially for those who have big palms and fingers.

---------- Post added at 05:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:09 PM ----------

No battery is safe, all batteries are potential disasters waiting to happen. People have got badly incapacitated for life from batteries exploding. Nokia, Sony, you name it. The higher the charge density the higher the risk.

Using cheap end stuff from known fraudsters who put labels on fake batteries is just asking for trouble.
[G3 General] GTCC:
I agree but as we need batteries I would only trust the known brands and I wouldn't trust them enough to leave them charging without being in the room or over night.
