Yes, I've noticed this as well. I can usually get about 15 minutes of SoT before it goes down to 99%, but then it's definitely not 15 minutes for every 1% after that. Brightness at 0% makes a lot more sense. Could you also let me know how strong your wifi signal and mobile signal are in that rom? You can check mobile signal by going to Settings - General - About Phone - Network - the signal strength is reported in dBm. I've been trying to figure out how much battery a weak mobile signal uses as I generally get -100 to -115 inside my home (which is really bad).
[G3 General] latino147:
It hovers between -95 and -100

If you have the patience you could test the SOT for an hour with radio off, just wifi, 0% brightness and doing the same you were doing before.
[G3 General] Japultra:
I might try it again after disconnecting from the charger. Last night I did use the phone for over an hour with airplane mode on while listening to music. With that I got about 40 minutes of SoT. Hopefully I can get close to 1 hour straight from the charger.
[G3 General] Sidz4u:
I get -83 dbm 14asu s/g strength. Is that gud or bad ? :/
[G3 General] aly ayman:
36 seconds hahahahaha :D

GT-p5100 xda pro

thank if you like it :)
[G3 General] Japultra:
The lower your dBm, the better. ~-40 - ~-70 is EXCELLENT. ~-70 - ~95 is good. Anything above -95 is pretty poor and -110 and higher is pretty damn abysmal.
[G3 General] latino147:
I remember from the SGS1 and SGS3 time that you had loads of different modems available. And they gave pretty different results depending on the provider you had or region you were in.

There is no such thing for the G3? Everybody has the same modem?
[G3 General] Japultra:
I believe the radios are all part of the SoC - in this case the Snapdragon 801. The GS3 might have had different radio quality because some used Samsung's Exynos chip while others had the Snapdragon 600.
[G3 General] trent999:
Neither MLT nor LG MLT show as installed on Verizon version LG G3. Even using Titanium Backup pro. Its just not installed on Verizon phones, looks like. Thanks for trying to help me freeze or uninstall it though.

---------- Post added at 11:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:04 PM ----------

The Verizon radios include code for their "special" LTE 4g and cdma as well. Same for Sprint. So, not al LG G3 owners have the same radios or modem coding at all. AT&T and T-Mobile might be the same, not sure about that.
[G3 General] THEGAMEPLAY94:
I think I know why the screen on life may be so bad. I use fk updater for the system monitor feature and at all times even when idle, there are two processors running. To me this is an unnecessary power hog. I guess until we can get kernels to change that we have to deal with it.
[G3 General] Richieboy67:
My battery life is still decent but has gone way down. Some of it could be my usage but I will need to check. I've done a bunch of tweaks with gravity box too.

Right now I have 4.39 screen time and 21% left on the battery. I still think this is great considering much of the time the screen was off and I was listening to pocketcast using bt and I also watched at least a couple hours of ytube.
[G3 General] AntiCommon:
Well my g3 battery life is just depressing.

http://m.imgur.com/a/t0OEy

Ive greenified several apps and usually have a decent wifi and 4g signal. Brightness is usually around 40 to 70% but i usually never get more than about 4 hours screen on time and standby can just drain my phone like no other. Currently in the process of trying to remove carrier iq cause its causing some wakelocks... But still wtf. This is depressing.
[G3 General] lossah:
It's obviously something wrong. :p
[G3 General] AntiCommon:
I figured as much. First it was facebook. So i hibernated it. Then messenger. I did the same. Then mic in from google now launcher. Disabled that. Then android system... And now carrier iq. Its a constant stream of applications causing wakelocks and killing my battery and its a bit rediculous. Here i am at 2pm not even 6 hours on battery and my phone has already died on me. Wtf.
[G3 General] itsadogslife:
Tried the resolution change but didn't work right. Tried the both dpi settings and some of my icons were messed up and some just the android icon.
[G3 General] decebal12345:
Is possible to try another battery?

LG G3 with Tapatalk
[G3 General] THEGAMEPLAY94:
I think lg had a bad batch of batteries. It doesn't make sense to have battery life this bad. I just ordered another battery.
[G3 General] lapocompris:
After doing as the OP did, I get an improvement in Antutu benchmark up to 34794. Before, I got only 29150.
[G3 General] 2dorr:
I just used franco.Kernel updater to put the governor on conservative and till now everything is fine with no reboots. Also I see a lower screen-on battery consumption. For sure it's taking more time than before to go down 1%, with screen on. I use 10h firmware.

So with 50% brightness, it took 3 minutes 57 seconds to go down 1% battery with conservative governor. Before I did not checked but I think it's around 3 minutes. In these 3 minutes 57 seconds I used G+, Play Newsstand and Tapatalk on Wifi.
[G3 General] latino147:
Does this franco kernel updater replace the kernel or does it modify settings for the stock one?
[G3 General] THEGAMEPLAY94:
Thanks I'll give that a try.
[G3 General] 2dorr:
It just allow you to select other values for kernel, it doesn't replace the stock one.
[G3 General] codified:
If you lower your resolution to 320x240 I'm sure your Antutu benchmark score will go up even more. It's easy to increase your score by lowering your resolution, but who wants that?
[G3 General] 2dorr:
I checked with interactive governor and it took 4 minutes for the battery to go down 1%. So between interactive and conservative there is no difference.
[G3 General] oska3:
Im trying this with trickstermod,but its not change.when im open it again,the values are stok
[G3 General] meyerweb:
Did you check the Set on boot option?
[G3 General] furiify:
I didn't know about an app that lowers the resolution but it sounded nice for me so I gave it a try.

I restored the dpi to stock in the buildprops, restarted the phone, set resolution to 1080*1920 and DPI to 420 with the resolution changer and restarted again. The phone is A LOT more fluid than before. It's stunning how fast it got.

I'll take a look at the battery life in the next few days and report my impressions. (:

How did you get Franco Kernel Updater running? It tells me that my device is not supported :(
[G3 General] oska3:
I mean reopening,Not after reboot,but yes its checked :(

[G3 General] 2dorr:
I did nothing, it just works...
[G3 General] furiify:
Which version of the phone do you have?

I own the D855 running V10J.
[G3 General] 2dorr:
I have D855 with 10H.
[G3 General] latino147:
What about the iconsizes from quicksettings, the stock lg apps etc?

When i go back to full hd i get huge quick setting icons and notifications. I tried several dpi settings but i can't seem to get the same size as with qhd and dpi 530.

Anyone has the perfect combination?
[G3 General] blud7:
Meanwhile...
[G3 General] exmatproton:
With Xposed and App settings enabled, you could use 1080x1920@420 dpi. Make sure you set the main LG apps (if you use those) @530 dpi within App settings. That way you can get a small (normal) dpi with the LG apps running the way they should
[G3 General] latino147:
So which app is the app that provides the notifications and quicksettings?
[G3 General] stas333:
I didn't have those in the system file. But I did disable the 7 options using android tuner.
[G3 General] furiify:
I'm not using LG's stock launcher - I use the Nova Launcher. Setting it to 1080*1920*420 was the same as 1440*2560*530 for me.

But there was one thing I've noticed and that's the reason why I changed it back to QHD. LG's keyboard didn't have the numbers above the letters anymore. It was disturbing for me since I got really used to the LG Keyboard and didn't want to install any other.
[G3 General] Madbullben:
Hello all i've been looking though this forum and i cant do the resolution to 1080p i've tried the settings and that did not work as I run next launcher which looks horrible because it distorted. But the thing is i cant tell any of you my screen on time because it's wrong, ive been on my phone for a few hours now, but when i go to screen on time it says its only 24 minutes and the usage when unplugged l, which is completely wrong and I was wondering if any of you had the same problem?
[G3 General] latino147:
I've finally found the sweet spot for FHD, being 405 dpi.

All lg apps have 530 dpi through app settings. Same goes for SwiftKey.
[G3 General] Nellyboy555:
I think thats system Ui.. But if you try to change it I think it force closes the system every time and you have to reflash your rom
[G3 General] latino147:
Ok let's not try that then, thx ?
[G3 General] Madbullben:
How did you manage to get swiftkey to work i mess around with the setting in xposed but evey time it looks the same, all i see are a few letters that are really big?
[G3 General] latino147:
I had the same problem and was about to give up.

Try my settings, 405 for general dpi with fhd res and 530 for SwiftKey. I could upload an export of my Appsettings if you want.
[G3 General] Madbullben:
That would be much appreciated thanks

Also in the nomone app to change it 1080p res is that 405 dpi? And in the appsettings you change swiftkey to 530 dpi? Is there any other settings i need to do in any of the apps to get it working?
[G3 General] latino147:
Unfortunately i was a bit too happy and spoke too soon. Swiftkey does work, set at 540 dpi, not 530. Most lg apps (calc, contacts etc) don't ?

Yes, with nomone i set to 1080p and 405 dpi.

Just need to find the optimal setting for the lg apps in full hd
[G3 General] Madbullben:
You got me so exited then. Do you how to find the optimal setting because every time I change any of the settings it always looked the same or am I doing something wrong?
[G3 General] latino147:
I had calculated the fullhd equivalents of 540 and 640 dpi. Swiftkey DOES work with 540 on fhd though. You can try that one
[G3 General] Madbullben:
What other settings do you have besides the 1080p and 405dpi in nomone app. 540dpi in app settings for SwiftKey because it's still big letters?
[G3 General] latino147:
Yup, that's it
[G3 General] Madbullben:
That's odd then why would mine act different to yours when we have the same settings?
[G3 General] M I N E:
hi guys what would be the best settings for 1080p and having swift keyboard look normal? also what launcher or on stock lg home?
[G3 General] latino147:
Here's the export from my AppSettings, including Swiftkey

Resolution changed with Nomone: 1080x1920

General DPI: 405

Swiftkey in AppSettings: 540 DPI, fontscale 100

You might need to reboot your phone to make it actually work.
[G3 General] M I N E:
What about for dialer , calendar app for them to work and stuff? and what do you mean Swiftkey in AppSettings: 540 DPI, fontscale 100 ? where do i change that at.
[G3 General] latino147:
I can't believe it. Swiftkey was ok, LG apps wouldn't work. So I tried 3 LG apps with 3 different dpi settings (530, 540 and 587) and rebooted,

Guess what, Swiftkey is all blown up again and the LG apps are working (albeit with big fonts)!!!!

Hoping for somebody else with these resolution to come with the right dpi setting for this resolution as 530 and 540 simply don't work.

IF you want to experiment yourself:

You need the Xposed module AppSettings, that's an addon for Xposed. You need root to install Xposed and Appsettings.

http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer

http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.mods.appsettings
[G3 General] Madbullben:
Well mine is still not working for some reason I imported the file and swiftkey was still huge and could not get it to go down what ever setting I tried.
[G3 General] latino147:
I've given up! I went back to qhd and 530 dpi ?
[G3 General] M I N E:
Hmmm seems like there's no perfect resoultion for this because swiftkeyboard is the best. Have anyone try go keyboard?
[G3 General] Madbullben:
I'm having a problem with my usage and my sot because they are both wrong, especially my sot which I haven't seen go I've 1 hour even though I've been on it for over 3 hours, so does anyone know how to fix this or even point me to the right forum?
[G3 General] triskropf97:
Okay so I decided I'd change the 1080p due to horrible battery. And well I wasn't on it long enough to notice a difference... But everything is HUGE! Even at 400 DPI. Were you guys just making the system apps smaller with app setttings? Also my contact FC so I can't use my phone. But I have to say. It's very very smooth..

P.S Fleksy stayed normal sized for me.
[G3 General] latino147:
just read this last page
[G3 General] ChrisM75:
Changing the resolution is a waste of time. The screen is a fixed 1440P, that cannot change, so whatever resolution you change the phone to the GPU has to then rescale it to 1440P anyway. You cannot change this, its set in hardware. All you are doing is adding processor cycles, you arent saving any power.

In games you could make a case for this helping, a bit, but in the 2D UI it wont do anything at all because the GPU isnt even trying when its rendering 1440P, in fact the only thing stopping it rendering 4K or 8K is the memory bandwidth, not the GPU power.

You arent saving any power by doing this, any perceived battery life increase is either a placebo, or due to other factors, such as a reboot, or the phone just settling down. After a cache clear, reset or changing to and from ART/Dalvik the phone takes at least a day to settle out, real battery life cannot be established for at least 3 or 4 days.
[G3 General] Vidfreek:
Okay, new owner of a Sprint LG G3. We just switched over from Verizon.

Having some bad battery issues here as well, I have not bothered rooting the phone as of yet (gonna wait a bit since the phone runs great) but its giving me a very hard time with draining. My wife and mom also got a G3 at the same time and seem to be having way less issues. This morning I turned the phone on (charged it full last night and let it sit turned off over night) and I started with a 3% loss right off the bat. After watching one 5 minutes youtube video on changing the resolution for the phone, I did some browsing about battery life issues and in 40 minutes had my phone drop to about 81% battery life. I'm sorry but one youtube video and some internet browsing shouldnt cause that much loss that fast.

I've been an android user for years now and have never seen this happen with any other phone I've used. My wife and mom dont have this issue with theirs, yesterday my wife had about 70% battery left after moderate use all day at around 10pm, she mostly did some texting, facebook browsing, etc. Nothing heavy. I havent even played one game on this phone yet and by 8pm yesterday I had to plug it in because it had about 8% left over.

All our phones are set up the same and I've done nothing special to theirs like I have with mine, meaning, trying greenfiy, qualcomms snapdragon battery guru, etc. I havent even used the phone for more than browsing facebook, the internet and the play store along with appy geek and appy gamer for news, I've made some phone calls obviously and have done quite a bit of texting, but the screen is always at like 60% usage no matter what and there hasnt been a day yet that I make it to 8 or 9 pm, after taking it off the charger at 100% at 8am, where I dont have to plug it in again with that kind of usage.

Something isnt right needless to say, I'm starting to think its a bad battery since my wife's and mothers phone are working a lot better than mine with no tweaks what so ever. Today so far I'm at 2 hours and 10 minutes usage from 8 am with my screen at 55% of that usage and android OS at 13%, those are always the top two and nothing else seems to be causing any problems, but with my current usage of texting some and looking at Spiceworks through the ticketing app, in 12 hours at 10pm I should have 25% battery left tops. doing some texting and using one other apps shouldnt drain the battery that much should it? And this is now with greenify on and running as I did that this morning.

I'm probably going to take the phone in to Sprint after work and see if I can get another battery or something
[G3 General] Richieboy67:
It is really hard compare usage. Do you really think your wife uses her phone the exact ammount of time you use yours?

What is the amount of screen on time at the end of the day?

You use the phone all day unto pm and have to charge it? That sounds good depending on sot.

There are many variables but making it through a full day from 8am until 10pm with normal usage is pretty decent on any smart phone.
[G3 General] Vidfreek:
Problem is, is that the usage I do now is nothing compared to my HTC One I just traded in for this, I could make the same time frame using that phone and playing a few games for a bit and watching YouTube videos. I've used YouTube once and that was this morning and I've never even played any of the games I installed yet on my G3, yet just normal texting, Facebook browsing, some news reading and a couple of 15 minute phone calls, doesn't even get me to 10pm? That doesn't make any sense, and those phone calls are usually to my wife who usually does the same things I just mentioned, I'm usually a power user in comparison, so yeah I think our usage is about the same right now as I haven't even begun using my phone the way I normally do because I've noticed how bad the battery life is without even doing any of that

---------- Post added at 04:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:42 PM ----------

Also, all of that was achieved on my HTC one without any tweaks, all my apps would sync or be used like normal, Facebook was always on, my gmail was always on, I didn't use greenify or anything else like it, so something isn't right with this thing, as I said, my wife and mother are using the same phone and don't even know how to tweak it like I've done so far and they are both getting much better battery life
[G3 General] Richieboy67:
You are probably using this phone more right now seeing as you just got it than your last average usage on the old phone but post your battery stats so we can see what's up.

You may have settings that are auto updating apps in the background, etc. facebook is a known battery killer when you have it running updates and notifications in the background.

HELP

hi guys, i tried 1080*1920 460dpi and restart, now im stucked on screen, system ui has stoped, and does not let me do anything!! please help!:crying:
[G3 General] Vidfreek:
Nope, I'm not using the phone anymore than I used to. Just because its new doesnt mean I'm on it constantly. But as I said, I used all of that on my HTC One, facebook was always running, my email was always syncing, location services were on, my appy geek/gamer apps were always updating, slickdeals, I had a ton of that stuff running and I'm usually on wifi most of the day, in and out depending on the building I'm in (I work in a school district) and it was never an issue on my HTC One which had a much smaller battery and the increase in battery and HD screen should still equal about the same that my HTC had with its resolution and lesser powered battery.

I'll try and get some screenshots here in a second
[G3 General] Vidfreek:
Here you go. ☺
[G3 General] JesseMT4G:
Not sure what the point of getting this phone when in aspect you are just bringing it down to a G2. Not a huge difference I wouldn't imagine from 800 to 801. Only other significant change is slightly bigger screen and little better camera.

More I hear about this phone, the more I realize I need to stay where I am at for now, or maybe a s5 is in my future. Need a smaller phone for work, unfortunately. Just switched jobs and my flex is way to big now.
[G3 General] leomd333:
I had a G2, I only got a G3 because my G2 had issues and my carrier Three UK basicly gave me a G3 for free :D
[G3 General] JesseMT4G:
I have two G2's as wife and stepdaughter use them. Terrific phones and never had an issue. One of the main reasons wanting to stick with LG as they are moving on up, however the g3 seems like a bad decision for me. I guess I'll hold out till after it comes out here in the states, then go from there. Gonna read more real world reviews from regular people and go test it out at the store.
[G3 General] Enddo:
because not everyone bought the G3 for the 1440p display. there are many differences between the g3 and g2 besides the 1440p display
[G3 General] leomd333:
Man. I also used to have a G2, loved the bugger! The G3 is great, it fixes my only issues with the G2 (removeble battery and storage)
[G3 General] JesseMT4G:
Not worried about storage or battery in my real world. I know some people need a ton of storage, but I don't. It's nice to have, sure, but that isn't a deal breaker for me. The screen issues are a real turn off. Have you had issues with temp, automatically adjusting brightness and bad battery without having to do this?
[G3 General] leomd333:
No issues at all. My battery aint far off my G2. Im at 15% battery and have 4hr 40min SOT. The whole brightness temp issue doesnt botter me as I run 50% brightness with auto on. The screen colors are brilliant imo. Alot of people are bashing the screen color wise (i dont understand why). The resolution also doesn't affect battery too much, some people who have downscaled to 1080p arent getting any longer battery than me. Only on the second charge too!
[G3 General] rushless:
You are in the minority, but thinking correctly in regards to performance. Pushing math to 1080p and scaling for adjacent pixels should help a LOT for gpu performance, but the display is still pushing power to Qhd. If a heavier user, you could see at least an hour more battery life, but light to medium uses (less heavy gpu use) probably will not notice much if any improvement.

People more concerned with performance and battery life would rather have a great 1080p display with good contrast and no sharpness issues. Most people though are light to medium users so will be oblivious and find the G3 a nice device with Qhd.

---------- Post added at 08:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:37 PM ----------

Good point about the chipset if a person already has the 800, but a lot of folks want the G3 due to the bigger display with less bezel. After seeing the G3, I agree 100% with Anandtech that the G3 would have been better for performance and battery with a 1080p, but the marketing edge is the Qhd display. Most people will not notice any issues since most people are light to medium users (no harm no foul).

This device has better battery life compared to the S3, S4 and most other S600 or lower devices, so the G3 battery is a step up from them, regardless of Qhd.
[G3 General] JesseMT4G:
That's the thing on the battery life. I don't want to take a significant hit as I get roughly 5-6 hours sot right now with my flex and close to 16 total hours. If I could get close to 4, I'd be happy. I don't see me using it that much more with this new job.

I am sure it will be a good phone, just the g2 changed a lot with the buttons on the back. Most big name reviews basically loved the phone, just don't have the marketing behind it like Samsung.

Here's hoping it does well. Really like LG as a whole. Amazing how a few short years ago, I couldn't stand them, lol!
[G3 General] Wreath:
I definitely notice a change in battery life after changing the resolution in Nomone.

But I'm having issues with swiftkey. I can only see a little bit of the keyboard, due to full hd is just a little bit of a 2k display. Anyone else having this problem? And perhaps a solution as well ?
