It is total bull, as an electrical engineer I guarantee this is crap
[G3 General] jeyd02:
Cloudfa G3 port, yeas I can't wait.
[G3 General] Fir3blade:
Yeah, me too ?☺
[G3 General] trincisor:
really with the latest app on the top left hand corner ?

the most difficult spot on the screen to reach !
[G3 General] partylikeaninjastar:
If this phone has worse battery life than the Nexus 5, then it's not the phone for me.
[G3 General] trincisor:
Nexus 5 is another story.

Even the standby was terrible.

There is a bug that affects it
[G3 General] jeyd02:
Apparently 4.4.3 fixed it.
[G3 General] zaki67:
The battery reviews are very confusing ! I do not understand how some tests rank it as excellent and some rank it as bad as the nexus 5!
[G3 General] Semantics:
People are using this phone that isn't optimized for US networks. That might have something to do with the inconsistent reviews.
[G3 General] trincisor:
Who ranked it exceptionally
[G3 General] Semantics:
Haven't you read any reviews? Engadget, The Verge, TechHive, PC Adviser, and on and on all said the battery was a pro, not a con, and that was after LG said this.
[G3 General] trincisor:
None of those you mention are objective

They were all personal opinions on battery life.

No tests pure subjective
[G3 General] zaki67:
http://www.phonearena.com/news/All-...ttery-life-chart-obliterates-the-rest_id56979
[G3 General] Semantics:
If that's not objective then you show me what is. If 25 hours of talk time, nearly 7 hours of browsing, or 10 hours of video playback suck, then I'd like to see what you are getting on your phone.
[G3 General] trincisor:
From that

" We measure battery life by running a custom web-script, designed to replicate the power consumption of typical real-life usage."

We don't know the parameters of this test.

If that webscript is constantly loading the same Web page the phone may as well be loading from the cache so very little network usage and also cpu cycles.

Also the 3a lg feature maybe kicking in more often.

---------- Post added at 03:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:12 AM ----------

6:40 for Web browsing is bad.

During phone calls the display and the cpu sleeps.

During video most of the cpu sleeps. Only the dedicated video decode block is running.
[G3 General] zaki67:
which is exactly what is confusing me ,how would i be able to decide whether to buy the phone or not !?
[G3 General] Semantics:
7 hours of screen time on is bad? Don't buy a Nexus 5 then. I'm confident in saying that you will never be satisfied with any battery on any phone.
[G3 General] trincisor:
Wait for more objective reviews.

BTW arstechnicia s review is up

---------- Post added at 03:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:23 AM ----------

had a nexus 5 barely got 4hrs screen on time

keep in mind in these tests the battery goes from 100 to zero.

in real life it will be in standby, making calls, listening to music , and lit of push notifications.

so real life screen on time will be much much lesser.
[G3 General] Semantics:
I completely understand that. With normal use, and optimized for the network the phone is on, I would expect battery life on par with any other current flagship, despite having twice the resolution. I used the G2, and the battery on that thing lasted forever. Best part? Take two batteries with you, and use the phone to your hearts content and not worry about it.
[G3 General] Bukary:
Should we expect another reviews from The Verge, GSM Arena, Phone Arena etc. when this European/US version of G3 is released? I doubt. Should we expect another battery tests? Very probable.

But if the battery in Korean model is much worse than Nexus 5 battery (according to Ars Technicia), will LG be able to improve it significantly in European/US model without increasing its capacity? Is it even possible?

It seems that LG has made a huge mistake with G3 battery. :( I was about to buy this phone, but right now I am starting to think about LG G2 purchase (if some of G3 software improvements will be avaible for this older model). Most of us will probably wait. Perhaps this rumored 805 model will have bigger battery?
[G3 General] jeyd02:
Definitely airplane mode!! [emoji14]
[G3 General] joshuadjohnson22:
Yeah he definitely need to post the charge chart because I feel like he may have charged it a bit here and there. Stock Android doesn't reset like LG roms do when it charged a bit
[G3 General] radeonxt:
if at times you watch movies ,games at bed while connected to charger be careful cos if screen doesn't turn off . this happened to me a few times because i fell asleep, my phone was kinda new at 3 months the battery went crazy. you won't be able to turn on the phone if it's not connected to the charger. it just keeps on bootlooping.

it's as if the charger they included doesn't have the safety feature to stop charging when battery is full - that kind of thing in other chargers of other brands.
[G3 General] ishanbhatnagr96:
Battery life seems to be decent on cloudyG3.
[G3 General] Vit Riddare:
I don't use any kernel and it's quite good for me. All the kernels I tried reduced battery life and slowed performance.
[G3 General] MehruNisa:
Everyone should try cloudyg3 Rom v 2.3 with UX4.0 ... It will change things

Battery smoothness etc

My d855 is beast now
[G3 General] Silver Wx:
WIth navel kernel and some tweaks this rom is very awesome !
[G3 General] Marcovanbasten:
Your post would be great if you define which "tweaks" you use.
[G3 General] Vahooli:
how much screen on ? any bug?
[G3 General] Sreerag ag:
Hey,

My battery life is quite decent (for now) until it reaches about 25% .

Then even after closing all apps and turning the screen OFF it goes from 25 to 0 in just about haof an hour. What should I do?
[G3 General] Vit Riddare:
Sounds like you need to recalibrate your battery. There are apps on the play store for it, but I think you'll need root.
[G3 General] Sreerag ag:
Thanks, I'll give it a try.
[G3 General] MonstaSaleens:
got good battery life all day. with good deep sleep overnight. can usually get 5 and a half sot if on the phone constantly. using stock kernel with jasmine rom.
[G3 General] jeyd02:
That's debunked only way to "calibrate" battery is letting the phone die at least once a week.
[G3 General] MehruNisa:
Right now 45% battery remaining and sot is 2 hours 30 minute ... Total time since charge is 43 hours.

Its awesome ...

Before cloudy I tried many Roms but now no tweaks nothing... Just simple Cloudy 3.0 ... Its so smooth n fast.

Few small bugs are there ... Sound is low with default sounds ... G4 Camera have some functions missing but can easily flash G3 camera. Weather widget animations need tweaking.
[G3 General] Godra:
Is something wrong with my G3? I know I probably got spoilt by G2s crazy good battery life but this is really bad IMO. Any advices?
[G3 General] Vit Riddare:
That's really good battery life. You're looking at over 5 hours if that trend continues.
[G3 General] Godra:
I wish, first 10 percent was realtively good. It was really light usage, some chrome browsing and WhatsApp on wifi. I got used G3 so I guess I need to wait for few more charges if battery is good or bad.
[G3 General] stevov:
Original v10a rooted. Battery is a year old.
[G3 General] mansillaluis:
Using Cloudy 2.3. Xposed, Facebook, Twitter & 4 hs of WhatsApp. It's better than stock, for me.

Sent from my LG-D855
[G3 General] ishanbhatnagr96:

[G3 General] mansillaluis:
Yes, everything stock. Uninstalled bloatware, and limited various things with Amplify.

[G3 General] ishanbhatnagr96:
How to do that on cloudyG3 2.3?
[G3 General] fedef12evo:
delete system/bin/mpdecision and reboot, or change mpdecision from nexus 6 rom to yours, set permission and reboot

Discharging test by using only Youtube, Chrome, Music listening, Camera and some SMS

And there is my result:
[G3 General] TheIgster:
How do you see anything? That's too dim for my liking. The screen on the G3 already is not all that bright even at 80 or 90%, but 40? :eek:
[G3 General] ishanbhatnagr96:
I use my phone at 20%... Its pretty bright for me
[G3 General] TheIgster:
Well, you guys must have x-ray vision. 20% is crazy. Not sure why I would even have a phone if I had to try and read it at 20%.

Hey, but whatever works for you. Guess I'm blind. ;)
[G3 General] stevov:
Posted one offs on this thread at post 1030 and 1130 but prefer the Gsam stats as they give you averages over time which gives a more realistic picture of how your phone is doing as opposed to a one off good day. My 55 year old eyes see 40% just fine in all but bright sunlight. 25% is more than enough in a darkened room.
[G3 General] copy2050:
because most of time i use the phone inside home, on street i search for a low light places to see the screen and dont use it in direct sunlight! i forget to say i use sharpenning mod so, i see very clear the screen! like other user say, he uses theyr at 20% and on that i really dont know how! :) 20% is very low...ok for inside but for outside is not...i use 40% and its good for inside and outside and dont requires have to go everytime to brightness bar changing it!
[G3 General] patm80:
Hey there,

I own a G3 and so far I was really happy with my choice as well as with the battery. But since the last Google Play Service update my G3 doesnt even last a day. The update was maybe about 2 weeks ago. I searched in diffrent forums for a solution, tried a few things (like clearing cache/data, removing/reinstalling GPS, removed permissions for auto-start/keep awake) but so far nothing helped. I also use Greenify and Wakelock detector and before the update the battery time was really good. When plugged in my phone before going to bed I still had 50% most of the time. But like right now my phone shows 55% and we have 2pm ... :D In settings > Battery GPS are often listed with 17-25% battery consumption, this cant be normal. In wakelock detector is one service listed called *net_scheduler*, it seems to be the one who keeps the phone awake. What I wanted to ask is if someone has the same issue with their G3 and/or found a solution for this problem?

I found a recent threat in which the same problem is described be a few people but so far there is no fix that worked.

Thank you!

pamt80 :)
[G3 General] Krastinov:
Guys, just wanted to ask, is my battery life ok? I keep seeing people get even 6h+ screen on time... damn I can't even dream about achieving such results (unless I dim the display to <40%, turn off the mobile data completely and just leave the phone lying on the table).

I am currently using the newest Resurrection Remix ROM with 777 kernel. My settings:

-mobile data always on

-screen brightness controlled by Lux, varies between 40 and 80%

-location off

-intellimm governor (found it really nice, keeps the cpu at low frequencies most of the time)

-hardcore Greenifying

-funky beepers like vibrate-on-touch or touch sounds off

-battery saving mode turned on at <25%

The way I use the phone consists mainly of texting. Actually, I do text a lot, doing small chats every 10-30 minutes using various clients (Hangouts, Facebook, etc). Also sometimes reading ebooks and browsing the Web. Games aren't really my cup of tea.

Just wondering is everything alright since sometimes when I'm on the bus I can literally see my battery percentage being devoured while browsing stuff on Facebook. Usually I have to be really conservative about the battery just to be sure that the phone survives until I finally reach home, making me feel slightly hindered. Thinking about purchasing an extended battery...
[G3 General] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
Impressed. Got a warranty replacement for my phone about a week ago - upgraded to newest software version (21Y) and have been getting better battery life than I've gotten in my time with the phone. Today was fantastic battery life for me... Barely getting over 4 hours screen on time. Of course I use my phone pretty regularly. Email. Social media of all sorts. Messaging. Lots of pictures. WiFi and mobile data times about 50/50.
[G3 General] Vahooli:
21y? is it android 5.1 ?
[G3 General] watzy:
These are my experience.

Lg g3 d855 16gb, Cloudy g3 2.2 with kernel untouched in interactive governor and ctt mod 75°rc5.. See images.... Great battery life in my opinion

[G3 General] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
No 5.0.1 I meant build number..
[G3 General] Vahooli:
any xposed trick ? or other setting? plz say if u change or install or disable somethings bcz its great battry .
[G3 General] watzy:
No xposed and no other setting. My installed apps (relevant) except the google apps and system apps are:

. whatsapp, twitter, viber, neutron misic player, pinterest, palabre and periscope, ebay and amazon, root explorer and xe converter.

Consider that battery life in cloudy 2.2 in interactive governor is great and the ctt mod eliminate most of the lags..

Improved battery life

My battery life has considerably improved since I turned off some of the apps that I hardly used and the screen display low. I have the phone running for more than 24 hours now without the need for a charge.

LG G3 D855 32GB V20i
[G3 General] The_Rencis:
My recipe to good battery life

Soo, let`s start.

I have installed Cloudy G3 2.3, gabriel kernel (powersave/sio)

This is a MUST! delete system/bin/mpdecision and reboot!

That`s it.

I have used my G3 today a LOT! Did antutu benchmark 3 times today. Mortal kombat X - played for an hour. Basically heavily used today.
[G3 General] ishanbhatnagr96:
Doesn't deleting/turning off mp decision take a bad hit on battery life? :|
[G3 General] niko626:
why not just turn it off in kernel audiutor or something. ;)
[G3 General] The_Rencis:
No! It doubled the battery life!
[G3 General] ishanbhatnagr96:
I don't think it will help on stock kernel. As stock kernel doesn't have any other hotplug!
[G3 General] Dark Fear:
is there any aosp rom/kernel with good battery life?

tried many roms.. all of them get hot .. and battery is like half of stock roms
[G3 General] ishanbhatnagr96:
I have the same issue. Tried candy5, euphoria, cm12.1 and all got very hot and battery drained a lot faster.
[G3 General] Metalpunch:
I'm on cloudy g3 2.3

:p
[G3 General] ishanbhatnagr96:
Which kernel and what settings? :o
[G3 General] nickkarma:
I've tried Blisspop and it was better for a while, then the drain started increasing for some reason.
[G3 General] Vahooli:
how? plz full describe if any setting with xposed greenify kernel and...
[G3 General] Metalpunch:
I don't have any mod, and my settings are normal. The only thing that i'm using is the screen on 1080p and 475 dpi :)

The lg stock apps are working fine, i'm using apos settings with xposed for lollipop.

look...
[G3 General] gokhandroid:
[MENTION=5096941]Metalpunch[/MENTION] When I was on Cloduy 2.2, I changed to 1080p but it caused bootloop. How did you manage to do it?
[G3 General] Metalpunch:
Use the app Resolution changer power menu, and check the 2 boxes like in the image.
[G3 General] psittacus33:

I was expecting horrible battery life listening to reviews and different post.

Getting through my work day 7am-6pm with 30ish battery left. Streaming music for 5 hrs plus everyday normal things with email, browser, tapatalk, youtube etc.

On par with my nexus 6. Using the latest cloudyg rom.
[G3 General] mab71:
This is on cloudy g3 1.2. Always getting high SOT but at the same time android OS is also high... quite strange.
[G3 General] NestorC:
Hi, I am interested to buy G3, but scared a little about battery life, so how long does it last on stock rom with SoT, because I see a lot custom roms results, but want to know how works on stock and if someone knows is it good as S5 or M8, or even similar, not too bad compared to them? I use the phone for youtube and surfing, texting. Thank you :)
[G3 General] Sreerag ag:
I am getting nearly 3.5 hours of SoT on stock while always turning on the data ON and while surfing. I had put the brightness to 30% auto.

After installing custom Rom the backup has slightly increased.
[G3 General] Captain Mark:
What is your previous phone? I am also looking forward to buy this phone right now since the price is really cheap (being a previous flagship phone with great specs) , my take on the battery life is, it all depends to how you use your phone, if your a heavy user, you can mostly expect the battery percentage to be eaten real-time, but based on what you said, this phone can definitely bring you till sunset with a bit more battery to spare. ;)
[G3 General] NestorC:
Not some great result, was hoping for 4, maybe 4.5h of SoT on 50% Brightness. Does it support quick charge 2.0 out from the box(60% in 30min) or something like that?

I have Xperia SP, use the phone for browsing the internet instead of turning on laptop, and just replacing it with my phone in daily tasks, not heavy gaming or something. I can buy G3, S5 or M8, on the paper G3 rocks, dont like how S5 looks, and dont like the M8 camera, so G3 is something in the middle, but Im still deciding which one is the best, sorry for my English :)
[G3 General] TheIgster:
No quick charge on the G3. But, it does have a removable battery. Something alot of phones are getting out of. Buy an extra battery and boom, you're good to go.

I've seen all three of those in action and own a G3. I would pick the G3 over those others easily.
[G3 General] Captain Mark:
Well, Xperia SP doesn't have a removable battery to start, so opting on having a removable battery on your new phone will do you wonder. That narrows your choice to the G3 and S5. And every phone has it's own ups and downs, and in my opinion the G3 is a well balanced phone to own. :good:
[G3 General] Achraf AOUAD:
if you get the D855 version it does have wireless charging built in so thats a win in my opinion.

from my experience the battery life was great in the beginning(5 to 6 hours ) and now after 10 months it has decreased to just 3.5hours.
[G3 General] NestorC:
Sure I will pick G3 over S5, S5 is too ugly and dont like that home button. It was more like G3 vs M8, but I will order G3, its cheaper and except speakers, more fluid sense and battery all other is on G3 side.
[G3 General] MonstaSaleens:
Got 7 hours sot with cloudy g3 2.5 using gabriel5 kernel and the ironhidev2 setup. im sure i can squeeze in another hour. its pretty laggy but the battery is worth it lol. :good:

EDIT: Oh and im using bullets lcd mod and the build.prop tweaks from the autobots kernel settings page

UPDATE: Got the extra hour in wanted xD :victory:
[G3 General] robogo1982:
Coming from a D802, the battery life of my D855 is simply put - appaling. The G2 had significantly better battery life on Lollipop than this G3. I barely push through a day with something like 3 hours of SOT (irrelevant kind of measurement, but with an approximately identical setup).

I will try to go back to 20i today (currently it's 20h+TWRP simply for the sharpening mod)
[G3 General] Vit Riddare:
Try gabriels kernel. I get around 5:30 SOT on a bad day.
[G3 General] zoneofSAM:
wow. that's just great buddy. Are you using 0.7 Gabriel kenel OR BULLET's based v1 Gabriel kernel?
[G3 General] Sreerag ag:
Hey, I am using bullet based gabriel and cloudy 2.5. Getting 6+ hours SoT.
[G3 General] Vit Riddare:
I'm using BuLLeTs version. Very easy to use, since he's put a loadable profile in it.

Note: my spellcheck capitalized bullet like that, and it's just so nifty, and looks right, so I'm keeping it :)
[G3 General] kuzigu:
Guys, I seem to only be able to last half a day on my G3, and it's only 6 weeks old! I get 3h SOT and there is nothing draining the battery too much, the screen uses 47%. Before I had a data plan I used it get 6h SOT, now it's less. Is it due to lolipop or is it something with my phone? Please help out, I dropped around 400 USD on this phone and want to have it work well.

P.S.: I have average cell reception in my area.
[G3 General] miskoajkula:
On my lg g3, it used to be about 4h from 100% to 0% (OST). When it updated to lolipop it is more like 3h30...
[G3 General] Kigsuha:
just buy 2 spare batteries for ~30 usd and problem solved ?
[G3 General] kuzigu:
Yes, I know that the battery is removable, but the question is why is my battery life bad, not how can I improve my battery life.
[G3 General] Sreerag ag:
It happend in my case as well. The battery life deceased significantly decreased when I upgraded from KitKat to Lollipop. My SoT was just about 3 hours. Installing a custom Rom have increased my SoT back to nearly 6 hours.
[G3 General] mo120697:
I Think this is just Fine:)

Pure Stock 20h with Power Auto brightness Mod super dim
[G3 General] kuzigu:
Which ones do you recommend?
[G3 General] Sreerag ag:
There are many ROMs. I am using cloudy now. I think exodus, slimkat etc are good for battery. There are also many others mods like installing custom kernal and also to control your brightness. Your SoT can be increased significantly if you try those.
[G3 General] Funjet:
remove all unneeded applications
[G3 General] maddangerous:
What kinds of apps do you have on your phone, and what do you use it for?

Also, what tweaks have you made? Ie root, undervolt, debloat etc.

I can pst links to stuff later when I'm not on mobile, but you might have some wakelocks happening thst are keeping your cpu awake.
[G3 General] kuzigu:
None, except turning off Wi-Fi scanning.
[G3 General] maddangerous:
... really? 3 hours of SOT with just turning off wifi scanning? I'd say that is pretty good for bone stock, although I'm really still stabilizing mine and trying to maximize it. I get between 3 and 3.5 hours SOT while at work, and that is with I'd say just below average signal strength and toggling wifi on and off several times throughout the day. I also keep my screen under 35% brightness almost all the time, unless I have to step outside, at which point I can't see it. I haven't measured it at home over the weekend yet.

Someone with better expertise could come along, but if you give me a little while I'll try and snag some info for you. In the meantime:

What android version are you on?

What do you keep your screen brightness at?

Do you toggle things (mobile data, wifi, BT, etc) on/off as needed?

Are daydreams on?

What is your screen timeout setting?

Are gestures turned on?
[G3 General] kuzigu:
I am using Android lollipop on data with auto brightness, 5 min timeout, no daydream and no gestures
