Without internet... It's awesome..... As soon as I connect to 3g or WiFi it drains , Only stand for 3 hour
[G3 General] Lorimere:
Your battery only last 3 hours? Something seriously wrong there.
[G3 General] dimkit:
No do not let it drop to zero. Is better to charge your phone on 10 to 15%
[G3 General] capt _Emad:
only if there is an internet connection,,, although am using Greenify Pro .:crying::crying::crying:
[G3 General] LBTaylor1984:
Wrong 0% on the phone is 7% left in the lithium all you're doing is setting up battery stats wrong

[G3 General] _Infamous_:
Never drain a lithium battery to zero, when battery hits 10% charge it to 100% then unplug then turn it off, then plug charger back in then let it charge to 100% then turn on with charger plugged in and wait tell it says 100% then you will be good to go.
[G3 General] bobbarker2:
Of course you never drain a Li-ion battery to 0, but the thing is the batteries they put in devices have reserves that can't be used to prevent the user from rendering the battery inoperable. When your phone says it's at 0% and shuts off, the battery still has 5-7% life in it. So don't drain a battery to 0% as shown on device then leave it sitting around for a few months while the battery self-discharges it's reserves. Otherwise it's fine.
[G3 General] IXChicharitoXI:
I wish we could get more stats posted in here.
[G3 General] JJ2525:
Less discussion, more screenshots of battery use, IMO. Just my $.02
[G3 General] bobbarker2:
There's tons of stats and screenshots, take 30 seconds and browse through the pages. How many times do you need to see screenshots of 4-5h SoT and 17-20h active?

Android L

I haven't seen anybody talking about Android L in this thread, reports suggest that the nexus 5 will get an extra 36% more battery usage when the switch to Android L arrives.

Presumably the G3 will be inline for this software update somewhere down the line and receive better battery efficiency as a result?

Android is a power hungry OS, if Android L looks to improve upon this, then going forward, all current Android flagship phones should see a significant improvement.

You only have to look at Windows Phone 8 (8.1) to see like for like comparisons. I look at my wife's ATIV S Windows phone (specs; 4.7 inch screen, 1.5 GHz dual-core with an 2,300 mAh battery) and it completely kicks the ass of any similar spec Android phone in the battery stakes.

Google are obviously aware of the power inefficiency of their OS and looking to resolve this with newer OS versions. With every new incarnation of Android we will see better power management. Hopefully, in the not to distant future, battery performance will not be such a contentious issue.
[G3 General] bobbarker2:
What is there to talk about? This isn't a theoretical battery life thread.

That's like making a race between a Prius and a Mustang and saying "the Prius can run longer on less fuel so it wins". Wrong parameters. Take a look at what a Windows Phone is capable of, then look at Android.
[G3 General] LBTaylor1984:
Thank you someone who understands lithium technology

There are components in the battery packs which regulate charge rate, discharge rate, capacity and available reserve, it's not a "dumb" battery
[G3 General] vervester:
Its a battery life discussion, theoretical or not, personally, I think its relevant.

I don't understand your analogy seeing as i was talking about similar spec'd phones? please elaborate...:good:
[G3 General] Jiyeon90:
Don't let it drain to 0, it will kill the battery in the long run
[G3 General] crni6:
I turn off phone and put it on charger at 20%...
[G3 General] bobbarker2:
So, so, wrong.
[G3 General] leomd333:
Any ideas why they went back to Li-Ion in the G3? vs the G2's Li-Po battery. That Li-Po in the G2 was solid as hell, it lasted forever :D
[G3 General] Lostatsea23:
Let's put it this way.

If you're not happy with the phone or battery life, return it. Instead of constantly whining on here.

---------- Post added at 08:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:23 PM ----------

Because li-po is for sealed batteries.
[G3 General] nap007:
not true, there were and are other phones with removable li-po batteries...
[G3 General] Sensamic:
Makes you wonder why users don't want to upload screenshots of their screen on time..........

[G3 General] flaring afro:
The more you discharge it per cycle, the less cycles you'll get in the end.

http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batteries

Draining your phone until it dies every day could affect things down the line, if you plan on keeping it for 2 years. It's not a problem for people that sell it and buy the next big thing every few months though - which a lot of people on here do.
[G3 General] Enddo:
If you actually read the page you linked, then you would see that they recommend you discharge it completely once per month for best longevity. Every day charging should be in the 40% to 80% range(aka the 40-80 rule)

http://lifehacker.com/5875162/how-often-should-i-charge-my-gadgets-battery-to-prolong-its-lifespan (which sources the battery univerisity link)

you don't want to let your device get to 0% and then put it in the closet for months at a time. this is what does tremendous damage to your battery
[G3 General] jutley:
I changed to art my second day 80% left light use few calls etc etc.
[G3 General] flaring afro:
The post I quoted said in the long run though and I took that as letting it happen frequently. Some people do drain it until it dies or almost dies and thst does stress the battery.
[G3 General] leomd333:
That may be the common case, but some devices in the past have came with removable lipo's. They seem to last longer haha
[G3 General] Schumi2004:
Seems to drain way less in sleep mode then my Galaxy S4.

Charged it to 100% and after 7 hours I still have 100% charge left lol.

During the night I lost 5% in 8 hours so that's good to.:good:
[G3 General] daddioj:
i had the 855 but sent it back bc of LTE now waiting for my 400k. but i been using a S5 to hold me over. and the battery has been really great actually. kind of scared now lol. but some part of me believes LG has alot of tweaking and updates to do
[G3 General] leomd333:
Not too bad, this theoreticly means I can get over 5 Hrs SOT (this was after the second charge after getting the phone)
[G3 General] leomd333:
Not bad for the second charge.
[G3 General] erapmicks:
What's the total battery time
[G3 General] leomd333:
Only 9 hr's 40 min's, so not amazing but ive been on it most of the day. Ill test more tomorrow.
[G3 General] erapmicks:
That's horrible
[G3 General] npaladin2000:
Depends on how it was being used for those 9 hours and 40 minutes. It could be amazing if it was 9 hours of movie watching. :cool:
[G3 General] erapmicks:
Sot is 5hrs... How can it be 9hrs of movie
[G3 General] npaladin2000:
WIth a SOT of 5 hours and a total battery time of 9 hours, I want to know exactly what the usage pattern is. Because it can probably handle more than 5 hours of SOT, and most sites are only getting 4-4.5 from what I've seen.

BTW, my comment was partially sarcasm to indicate that a pure number means nothing unless you know the usage pattern.
[G3 General] flaring afro:
Depends on what he was doing and if it was full brightness etc. A good example is Facebook Messenger which eats batteries like no other, plus it's a mostly white view.
[G3 General] jeyd02:
Exactly.

People please be aware of lots factors.
[G3 General] leomd333:
I was mainly browsing the internet, tapatalk, facebook, fb messenger and listing to music for a few hours. Im normally not on my device long enough in 1 charge to use 5 hrs of SOT, my phone normally lasts me into the next day if im not on it all the time. :p Also I was a lazy bastard and didnt wake up until 12 today, normally my phone is on and used from 6:30 am. So I will watch the battery life when im up early again.
[G3 General] stanley08:
Meanwhile on my Z2 with the same 3200mAh battery...

Pretty glad I picked the Z2, over the G3 as battery life is very important to me...

Anyways, check my signature for a link to Maximize ur battery life. Cheers! :)
[G3 General] Lostatsea23:
Stamina mode is enabled though? Not really fair. I had the z2 the battery was great. But the phone wasn't my cup of tea.
[G3 General] AuronPaul:
LG g2 have the Best battery
[G3 General] stanley08:
Yes mate. Different people, Different choices :) Z2 was/is perfect for me. And a welcome change. Especially as i used 4 Samsung flagships before Z2. :p
[G3 General] Lostatsea23:
I agree. We all have choices haha which is good.
[G3 General] iLHaNroID:
I have been using my new G3 for 3 days. Here is how it went with the battery;

Some important points...

- This is D855, European model, untouched, no any tweaks or whatever

- Power saving mode activated on 20%

- Auto Sync enabled all the time (FB, messenger, email, what's up, viber, LinkedIn)

- Auto Brightness, 100%,

- Google Now active,

- Google search with "OK Google - Anywhere" active

Used browser, watched some YouTube videos, made a couple of calls, downloaded and installed some apps from play store, played with settings of both the phone and the newly installed apps during that time.

More than 15 hrs with over 5 hrs Screen on time!.. With a shorter SoT it will definitely last about 18-20 hrs without sacrificing any of those goodies my device is offering to me. That's amazing. No heat issue, no insufficient brightness under sunlight either. Love my G3 ?

Edit: additionally;

- running on ART from day 1

- that was mostly on WiFi, 3-4 hrs on 4G though
[G3 General] rushless:
If local video, very possible since the device has a big battery and video is low resources on the gpu. Also not using radios like when browsing or other apps.

Several tests have confirmed this and part of the reason for the overstated battery life reports. Of course battery life will be great if just local video and minimal to no radio use.
[G3 General] Lostatsea23:
Nice ! I'm wondering if art improves the performance at all
[G3 General] iLHaNroID:
Had no incompatibility issues by far. As said, no any single issue at all, I was a bit anxious upon some negative comments regarding heat, brightness, oversharpening, bad battery life etc, I mean different opinions here and there, but no, G3 is almost perfect, also the call quality is decent (crisp and loud enough for both ends) especially comparing to my old OneX.
[G3 General] gladiator1105:
screenshots please ?
[G3 General] shazam2k10:
I am really happy with the battery life of my G3. D855 model also. I am coming from a Note 2 with a quite decent battery life but the G3 got a better one. Also I think it charges faster than my Note 2.

First I thought the display will significantly drain the battery but I cannot say it is.
[G3 General] DisplacedMic:
maybe he's watching horror movies

or The Abyss
[G3 General] radicalisto:
How many Sony features are turned off?

Most of, if not all of that is done on WiFi..

How many people sit on WiFi using their screen for 10+ hours per day?

Why have a smartphone if you have to tweak the absolute sh!t out of it to gain a few hours battery? Just buy an Nokia 3210.

And lastly, different battery manufacturing, different screen resolutions, CPUs tweaked differently, completely different GUI's lol.

In essence mate, you've pretty much just trolled this thread with no reasoning at all.

It's like comparing a burger from Burger King to a bargain bucket at KFC.
[G3 General] stanley08:
No need to reply in such a harsh manner mate, whether u use your screen for 10hrs or not the point is that if you need to use it for 10hrs, you can! Here in West Africa, electricity is not the best. Same reason why I need phones with Good battery life. On this very day, there was no electricity for about 16 hours of the whole day. And I was on holiday. So yes, I sat in my house and was chatting with my friends and doing all sorts on my mobile till the electricity came back on. And I have a pocket router that works with a battery and that's how i was connected to WiFi all through (http://shop.vodafone.co.uk/shop/mobile-broadband-devices/r206-mobile-wi-fi-payg). Don't compare ur conditions with mine I know that there in the UK, electricity is not an issue. It's not the same for us from 3rd world countries.

On the other hand, I was also testing the battery life for my thread, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2768544.

It's not cool to attack people without knowing their reason. And btw, I was comparing to the 3200mAh of the Note 3 as I also used a Note 3 before now. Cheers.
[G3 General] radicalisto:
That wasn't a harsh reply. It was a constructive reply. I pointed out the difference in the two devices and their different batteries and what causes deviations.

I merely pointed out there's no need or reason to come on to a G3 thread and show off your Z2 battery, they are completely different and cannot possibly be compared.
[G3 General] nap007:

- Auto sync enabled all the time (email, what's up, viber, weather, dropbox )

- Auto brightness, 55%,

- Google Now active,

- Google search with "OK Google - Anywhere" active

- Wifi enabled all the time

- Data no

- Location no

battery life not bad?
[G3 General] gladiator1105:
total time on g3 ? can you tell us more information about brightness level ? wifi / 3g ?
[G3 General] radicalisto:
As photo comparisons go - I will go back to the statement I made earlier in this thread.

Battery is different on both

Screen resolutions are different and are different makes/types

CPU's are different and are also tweaked differently

Kernel's are different.

UI's are different.

Everyday use is different, while it may be nice to compare, it's an unrealistic comparison and these two cannot be compared, same with other devices Z2/G2/N3 etc etc. - As I said earlier it's like comparing a Double Whopper from BK to a bargain bucket at KFC.
[G3 General] theraker007:
Double Whopper ftw
[G3 General] bobbarker2:
He was using it in endurance/battery save mode, so obviously that SoT means nothing when comparing real world usage vs other phones. I think he just wanted to get as high of a number as possible.
[G3 General] splcfiya:
Legitimate comparison

Even if it is like comparing a Double Whopper to a bargain bucket it is still a very valid comparison. In the end you are comparing if the taste and value of the Whopper vs the taste and value of the Bargain Bucket. It's dinner time, you're hungry, what are you going to eat? Odds are you arent going to eat both so they are competing with each other.

So these comparisons are perfectly legitimate. Odds are you are going to buy only One of these phones, so it comes down to the end user experience. And if Battery life is a concern, it doesn't matter that the software is different or the processors are different, or what color the phone is. All that matters is the end result. How long does this freaking thing last.
[G3 General] Lostatsea23:
Yep. The fact is the battery is mediocre. Not bad. Not great. Its just fact lol
[G3 General] splcfiya:
Sucks, I really wanted this phone. I have a Nexus 4 right now and the battery life on this thing is bad. I get about 2.5 hours on like 15 hours of usage and thats with my screen turned down pretty low (not like my screen was good to begin with). So this will definitely be an upgrade, but i'll probably just trade it in, in a few months if the HTC M9 tweaks a couple things.
[G3 General] turt:
That's not true.

It's way better than the Galaxy S4.

With my usage, I needed to charge my S4 during the day otherwise it wouldn't last till the end of the day.

The G3 lasts easily for a full day on the same usage (around 4-5h of SOT, half the time on Wifi and the other half on 3G/4G). I'd say it's 50% more battery efficient than the S4.

So maybe the Galaxy S4 is crap by 2014 standards but it was great by 2013 standards.
[G3 General] Lostatsea23:
That's the s4. And yes its different now, were comparing to this years flagships.
[G3 General] Fir3blade:
Nice but doesn't change the fact, that the battery life with G3 is just average.
[G3 General] rushless:
The S800/801 has much better power management than the S600 in the S4. It will be interesting to see battery life on the G3 with the chip and display throttling turned off.

By the way, 6 hours of SoT (screen on time) is...ok/fine, not great.

Yes, a lot of people complain... compared with other devices and G2 (i think is normal to compare with G2)

But we are all here because... we have / we selected / we are interested in G3.

I have a G3 coming from G2. In the overall I am happy with with G3. I would say battery is ok, but not great.

[G3 General] JesseMT4G:
Dude if you can't be happy with 6 hours Sot, then you my friend need to get out more.... 6 hours from this phone is amazing.

Next...
[G3 General] IXChicharitoXI:
This.... 5hrs of SOT with 20hrs of standby is my ideal time.
[G3 General] JesseMT4G:
I don't even get that with my flex. Usually around 18-20 hours and 4 hours sot. Depending on day. I am nowhere near on it how I used to be with my new job.

So honest for me if it gets through a day and and can occasionally check emails/FB and calls and texts, then I am good. I am sure the LG g3 should suffice there.

If not, I am gonna complain about it on the intranets!
[G3 General] robto:
:)) Should get out more...and work less

That it. Thats the point. It is ok/nice, compared with other devices but not "great" compared with G2.

For me G3 is ok. Am happy with it coming from G2. I loose some battery but get microsd. Thats ok with my personal needs

[G3 General] JesseMT4G:
Don't we all wish we could get out more and work less. I know how it feels.

Honestly, my wife and stepdaughter have g2's and while nice, ever since the update to kit-kat, it hasn't been the same. They used to get sustainable battery life on 4.3. Sometimes my stepdaughter could go two full days with her usage. It was insane! Now, she still gets close to a day, but same usage, only updated to kit-kat....

I got better battery life on my flex as well. Something with kit-kat that kills it faster for some reason.
[G3 General] bobsie41:
They never had 4.3. ;)
[G3 General] rushless:
Kitkat sucks more battery than 4.3 on all devices tested. I am now on 4.3 on my S4, Shield and Note 2014. Not a placebo either that 4.3 is better. Android system function for whatever reason is the culprit.
[G3 General] robstunner:
I just got mine today so I can't say much, but if I get 6hrs SOT I'll be more than satisfied. First impression doesn't seem to convince me that it will be though.
[G3 General] JesseMT4G:
Everyone will be different, but if I can get over 3 hours and 15 hours, I'd be pretty content.
[G3 General] robstunner:
Heavy use so far, but I like it. Rooted, debloated, greenify, ciq disabled, everything else stock. No 1080p BS either.
[G3 General] rushless:
You have very low expectations, so should be happy ;) That seems very low, but if a light to medium user, no harm no foul.
[G3 General] JesseMT4G:
Medium usuage. Started a new job, rarely on phone at work now. Last job, constantly on it. Only interested in this phone due to the size. I have a flex and is a tad to big for this new job.
[G3 General] twoeleven99:
4hours 50 min sot 15% left

Going to see how much more I can get out of it before charging it for the first time

First full day...

Not bad not great. Was hoping for 5-6hr SOT. The last 23% was on mobile data and it drained quicker.

To me what is best in this phone (with battery) is how long it works when in little/medium use in bad signal reception, my old s3 which I used was so much worse with that.

My daily routine was wake at 8-9am, uplug my phone, go to work in which from time to time i had time to check the forum, fb, email and at 21 (if used a little more) or 23-0.0 (if used less)

And with this phone I'm using it in the evening, leave for the night unplugged. Use it all day and still have much juice.
