So. Im one of those who prefer 1080p if im able to for example reduce lag a little. The other 1080 phones just did not match my requirements, so ye i sacrificed a 1440p screen.

It actually helps in performance to get 1080p, right? I really dont need it in games, just overall better performance.
[G3 General] lexluthor:
Don't know about performance. I honestly don't really see anywhere performance could be improved. Perhaps dropping to 1080p helps battery some?

Wow, I'd hate to live in America, that's an obscene amount of carrier bloatware
[G3 General] MarvinFS:
Wow! How the hell did you archive this battery time?

please share you settings

are you on ART or DALVIK?

are you on FHD res?

[G3 General] MarvinFS:
anyways 51h time with 5h SOT time it'a amazng and unbelievable! i wanna find out full settings and apps

PS just played along with FHD res on 480DPI... well.. a lot is misbehaving, especially stock apps like contacts, email, phone etc...

had to change 'em in xposed "per app settings" back to >=530DPI and also change the font scaling..

so after some time i'm back to stock res. and 560DPI settings...
[G3 General] Mistertac:
Were you on airplane mode using only WiFi? Lol

Let us know what your setup was if you could. I could only get that on my S4 with a 5200 man Battery.

Over 2 days with 5+ hours screen on time seems impossible with this phone on stock Battery. Unless your brightness was in the negative the whole time... Idk let me know

Go to Super user and change the access to grant for resolution changer aka nomone app

I don't really like the settings 1080x1920 it's kinda like fitting elephant in Honda fit and keyboard is not aligned properly,some keystrokes puts out the next letter spaced next to it for e.g for qwerty you get this qweer, for yuiop you get this ttyui and don't ask me about o and p lol :)

Edit:-byw this app works only on rooted device
[G3 General] killerskincanoe:
No wasn't on airplane. Wifi was on most of the time. Some GPS and Bluetooth music. Brightness was 59‰ the whole time. I am not using art. I am rooted. And have a **** load frozen. I'm getting about two full days each battery charge. I don't make a lot of calls though. Lots of text and forum reading though. On QHD.
[G3 General] Mistertac:
Well that's very good then! Good for you man.

Today is my first full cycle after removing more wake locks and setting up Lux the way I like it so let's see if I can get that lol

Tutorial

Hey guys. I spent a few hours on this and I managed to achieve a Full HD LG G3 without switching to Dalvik or suffering any losses. It takes some work to do but with using alternatives you can achieve almost full functionality and looks/feel as a stock LG G3 (exceptions are QSlide, QuickRemote, the widgets [I just used music and the weather widget anyways] and playing slo-mo videos), also you will suffer no performance degradation or ram hogging whatsoever.

I don't think this saves you battery as much as implied, because the screen will still use as much as the stock phone. But I do think less power consumption by GPU in 3D applications would be good for it.

First of all my reasons for switching to 1920*1080 are:

1) It stops overheating once and for all.

2) The image quality doesn't suffer whatsoever in my opinion.

3) 3D applications now and in the future will be much more easily handled by the processor.

Okay so here is the full tutorial:

Switch to 1080*1920 and 480 DPI using Nomone (480 is the exact scaled number).

You'll notice some apps are not working and the buttons in the dock looks gigantic.

1) To fix the enormous icons, get Nova Launcher (Free/Prime). You can create the SAME homescreen with this and also get a lot more features. Plus it's lightweight. No one would notice the difference. It automatically imports all your icons and stuff.

2) If you like the double-tap-to-lock-screen feature as much as I do, get Screen off and Lock and set the double tap gesture to run this application in the Nova Launcher settings.

3) If you want a replacement for the default messaging app, I highly recommend Textra (a simplistic, lightweight and very functional SMS application).

4) If you want a replacement for the default dialer/contacts app, I recommend exDialer (lightweight and functional, has nice themes, but do remember to get the xMissedCall Plugin for it).

5) If you want a replacement for the alarm/clock app, I recommend THIS.

6) If you want a replacement for the calendar, I recommend Google Calendar

7) As for calculator, I use CyanogenMod Calculator.

8) As for file manager I use THIS.

9) As a replacement for the gallery, I prefer QuickPic.

10) As a time&weather widget, I prefer Transparent clock & weather.

11) As for music player, I prefer Rocket Music Player.

12) And if you want to select the original icons for the extra apps you installed, I highly recommend THIS. It has hundreds of extra icons as well as the default ones. I like the square icon style of LG a lot and this has tons of it.

The keyboard loses SOME functionality. Just the long press images are blown out of proportion, but it's not a dealbreaker in my opinion. Also you can always use another keyboards.

I can't currently think of anything else but if there is please do tell. All of my app choices are based on simplicity and lightweightness, just as the stock version. The RAM usage and the UI performance of the phone is exactly the same.

Cheers.
[G3 General] hack14u:
My phone must be special. No overheating, no weird stuff, and my battery lasts longer than my old G2 and M8. Heavy use is no less than 18 hours, moderate is 48, and with light use, I kid you not, I just got almost 80 hours. It's freaking amazing. The only thing that REALLY drains this one is actual talking on the phone. I can watch the battery icon going down on speaker phone while on a call. Other than that, I am blown away. And I have location on, push e-mail, brightness at 50%, because well anything over that is blinding, etc... just awesome. I also just switched back to Dalvik from ART and no lag at all. Smooth as silk. The only thing I changed was using Google Keyboard instead of LG's.
[G3 General] dnilbia:
My battery life is very similar to yours (I usually get around 40 hours messaging with my gf all the time and some browsing/game/music stuff, which is totally awesome imho) , but the phone does overheat from time to time (especially in 3D apps). But I see you're from AL which has around 25C weather. We have over 40C in here, so that must be causing the heat difference :)
[G3 General] jerflash:
That is a hell of alot of work dude. I have played around with the res and dpi settings and it screws up way to many things including SwiftKey and missed it notifications. I have played 3D games at full brightness for a long time and never had an overheating issue...

I have the tmobile version running Dalvik. Totally debloated with titanium freezing and greenifyed. Using Google launcher with GEL tweeks with xposed. G3 tweeks box and gravitybox running as well.

Phone is in total beastmode now and getting awesome battery life with no workarounds.

Art is great but there really is no reason to use it yet. Way to many great xposed modules out there right now.
[G3 General] dnilbia:
I have this weird glitch with Dalvik. The keyboard ALWAYS lags in WhatsApp. With ART I don't have that problem so that's why I did all the work :) Also the UI is smoother imo.
[G3 General] codified:
I think it's more likely that getting rid of Xposed improved your battery life. That can be a massive battery hog (depending on the modules you have)
[G3 General] Det45ku11:
For me stock res with 440dpi is perfect. (-200 from stock)

A little fixing in xposed appsettings and it is flawless.

Using nova btw.
[G3 General] codified:
Having no SIM and using WiFi only gives me amazing battery life :p
[G3 General] webmanya:
This is my usage without any tempering with tye system. I did what you said and I didn't even get near this.

Phone is 10f and without root.

It says 36 hours on battery and 30 more expected. With browsing, whatsapp and youtube, calls. No gaming.
[G3 General] oska3:
how can i fix the doc icons after change screen resolution-they are huges
[G3 General] koppee1:
Hmm I only had greenify and I think android tuner there...
[G3 General] Geezer:
In my case WiFi is the major battery eater.

On ART it gets slightly cooler than on DALVIK but battery capacity now shows 4064mV instead of 4348mV (or sth similar) before on Dalvik.

Strange.

I get 48 hours of normal use, 4,5 hours SOT. Don't have time to try heavy use.

email PULL

no autosync

GSM instead of LTE

Some chargers deliver 5V 0,5A power - better ones 2A power. I'm not an electrician but read about this having about 10 various smartphones in the past. Same story with camcorder batteries, rechargeable AA, etc.

Also full cycle charge/discharge seems better than frequent, short time re-charging using laptop's USB or in-car charger.
[G3 General] isisky:
that not acurate with the type of battery we have in our smartphones, for the best you should use a charger with the less amperage possible so 0.5A is better, as more slowly the battery charge better it is, also full charge/discharge should be avoided as charging over 90% or discharging completly the battery are bad for the battery, there no such thing as charge memory with the lithium battery, so you can short time recharge your phone as much as you want, it's actualy better than waiting for the battery to be low.
[G3 General] blud7:
That says 36 seconds not hours?

So what do you think the 37dk is then :laugh:

[G3 General] homer285:
Thanks for trying to help with battery and to whomever is working on bootloader unlock.

Today I regretfully sold my G3 due to lack of ROMs but mostly for me very very poor battery life. I tried everything in this thread and in the end I had to barely use the device to make it through the day which is just not ok.

In the first two to three weeks battery was amazing but the last 2 weeks it had been horrible and I really tried and tried to make it last without any joy.

Thanks to the community here sincerely XDA is great.
[G3 General] behnann:
Good
[G3 General] geoff5093:
What phone did you get instead?
[G3 General] jerflash:
All you people saying you "barley" use the phone and get terrible battery life have to have some ****ed up apps installed or maybe use your phone much more then you think. Maybe you just are terrible at managing you back light? It's all silly to me because I get crazy awesome battery life and I run it at 1440p
[G3 General] lossah:
Erhm. That's because some app. Or a defect battery, probably a app. I'm atm at 4h SOT with 50% left. I can easily get 6h SOT with around 50% brightness without auto. And standby time, I'm not sure, probably ALOT of hours. :P That's something that's really amazing on this phone, standby time.
[G3 General] jerflash:
I agree standby time is amazing on this phone
[G3 General] Japultra:
If you're barely using the phone and it dies within 10 hours, something is definitely not right as the phone as amazing standby time, even when the signal is weak (-100 to -105 dBm). I've never gotten 4 hours of SoT at 50% battery before. That would mean 8 hours of SoT for the full battery. Are you absolutely sure this is correct? This seems a bit hard to believe as I usually get 4 hours for the entire battery at 30% auto brightness.
[G3 General] lossah:
http://www.ladda-upp.se/bilder/hmapbkbnwtfodk/
[G3 General] Japultra:
Interesting. Looks like you have full bars of signal. What do you usually see in terms of dBm?
[G3 General] lossah:
Can't remember where to check that. :o it's in the hidden menu, right?
[G3 General] Japultra:
If you go into settings, general, about phone, network, it should tell you your signal strength.
[G3 General] lossah:
-~67.
[G3 General] Japultra:
Ah, that makes sense. That's extremely good signal and is most likely why your battery life is so good. I'm usually around 100-105 dBm while I'm at home.
[G3 General] lossah:
It's pending from 65 to 85. :P but yeah it's probably good. :p
[G3 General] homer285:
Since you asked I am lucky enough to be in possession of a new Galaxy device with similar specs, however I am missing G3, just reordered G3, hopefully battery life is better this time.

---------- Post added at 09:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:29 PM ----------

Lucky you, 4hrs sot and 50% battery, lol, sorry but I am dubious!
[G3 General] codified:
Why so dubious? I get that easily on my G3, and that's without using any of these silly tweaks like lowering the resolution
[G3 General] lossah:
I'm at stock resolution also. :)
[G3 General] whoamigriffiths:
Yeah but yours lags like a mofo :P
[G3 General] lossah:
Not more than yours or others. :p :/
[G3 General] 2dorr:
What did you do to have 4 hours SOT and 50% battery? How you keep brightness?
[G3 General] xlxcrossing:
Is the resolution change supposed to affect the UI as much as this?
[G3 General] meyerweb:
It's not in English, friend.
[G3 General] codified:
Haven't really done anything. I'm at 58% brightness (auto brightness on), bluetooth,Wifi, LTE, location services all on.

Only things I've done are to root it, disable MLT, remove most of the preinstalled bloatware using Titanium Backup, and Greenify most of my user apps. That's it.

Today I've not been out of the house much so not used LTE or location services, but on a regular work day I use my phone as a satnav with GPS and cellular connections active while streaming music to my car audio via bluetooth, plus frequently checking emails/Whatsapp and browsing the internet at work.

Most days I still have 30%+ battery left when I go to bed. Battery on the G3 is much better than other Android and iOS devices I have used.

No need to be messing about with changing the resolution - what's the point of having the world's first quad HD phone when you are going to be running it at HD resolution and ending up with weird UI glitches as aboce.
[G3 General] Marcovanbasten:
Thanks for the info about MLT
[G3 General] radeonxt:
wow! thank you for mlt info.
[G3 General] blud7:
Uhh donkey kong :)

Removed MLT using Titanium Backup and rebooted.

Noticeable speed increase.

PS it's listed as LG MLT
[G3 General] exmatproton:
I think you're right. Except for one thing. The interface and most of the apps are running faster when set to 1080P. I am not using this setting, as i am using ART and with ART enabled everything is running good enough for me. But i can imagine when one want to use xposed, changing the res to 1080P, can make the device running fast. So i think this option is a legit reason.
[G3 General] homer285:
Lol, havent done anything:D

Thanks for that MLT info, shall be trying that when my new unit arrives.

OT seconds after parting with my G3 I had sellers remorse lol, currently using Z1(you cant imagine the pain) until get new G3.
[G3 General] Japultra:
He's dubious because while you are getting this exceptional battery life, it is still exceptional. Most of us are not getting anywhere NEAR that. In fact, I'm lucky if I get 4 hours of total SoT.
[G3 General] 2dorr:
My G3 usually eat battery when it has screen on. It's about 1% in 3 minutes I think or around there. I tried lowering the brightness from 50% to 30% to see if there is a change and I can't see it. Indeed with the screen off, the phone barely consume anything.
[G3 General] crni6:
Same here...no meter if brght is at 15 or 55 every 3 min 1% drops eaven on aiplane mode...
[G3 General] latino147:
I drive to work daily and i have the screen on for approximately 1:15. I use gps, google maps and BT music. This ends up eating 40% battery. So 4 hour screentime sounds magical to me!

Edit: Today I'm working from home. I checked FB, some messages, one call of 9 minutes. Total 1:15 screentime, same as the daily drive, these are my stats :(
[G3 General] xRamz:
Get a car charger! I know that feeling too, GPS drains my phone like no tomorrow. I just plug it in to the car charger, usually keeps my battery level the same, won't go higher or drop. But yeah, invest in one for sure :P
[G3 General] latino147:
yeah, well, when going to work it's not such an issue because I can charge it at work with my new LG wireless charger (good buy). :victory:

I hate having to connect the charger.

Besides, in the screenshots GPS and Maps was of, just some mild screen on time surfing and messaging. 75 minutes, 38% down :(

It probably is the brightness. I have it on auto, but it says 65% so I'll try to max it out at 45%.

Btw, you should use a charger that can output at least 2A. And some dual chargers have an A and B output, never use the A as that's the charger for Apple devices and won't get higher than 0,5A or so.
[G3 General] xRamz:
Yeah I got a dual car charger. 2.1 amps. I'll use the second slot now cheers :P
[G3 General] Richieboy67:
Facebook is a battery killer too in the background especially with notifications

BTW - I have 19 hours on my phone right now and have 5.33 on screen time and still 41% left.
[G3 General] codified:
He was dubious about someone else who posted that they had 50% battery after 4 hours SoT. I then posted to say I had the same, and Richie above has said he has 41% left after 5+hours SOT. So it's not that exceptional, many of us are getting this kind of battery life.

Unless there are some duff batches, I think this is mainly a software issue. Get rid of MLT and other bloatware and keep battery hogs like Facebook under control with Greenify. I'm sure your battery life will improve.
[G3 General] latino147:
The only thing you mentioned that i don't do is using greenify. But on the other hand I've disabled fb notifications.

I don't really understand greenify. How can you freeze apps that need to receive notifications like whatsapp or newsapps

I might be interesting to know if the 5hr+50% people can submit this info:

- using Greenify or not

- brightness percentage

- resolution

- MLT disabled/enabled

- got rid of bloatware

- ROM version

- ART/Dalvik

- using Exposed

maybe we can find the 'golden settings' for the G3 :)
[G3 General] Japultra:
I've done all of it and still get about 4 hours of total SoT. I've been going through these forums long enough and have read enough reviews to know that 4 hours at around 50% is pretty damn exceptional, if not almost unbelievable.
[G3 General] lossah:
Greenify, greenified looots of apps.

Brightness 50% without auto

Stock resolution

MLT enabled

Freezed looots of useless apps and services.

V10h

ART

No xposed since I'm using ART. :)

And I didn't play intensive games, just a simple billiard game. :P think it's not possible at all to reach that kind of battery while it's on high temp for a longer period.
[G3 General] Richieboy67:
Greenify yes

Autobrightness/50%

Res is default

Mlt disabled

Bloatware frozen using titanium

Latest stock

Dalvik

Exposed -yes

Keep in mind the latest screentime I reported is with WiFi and light usage, internet browsing, email

I keep almost all notifications off, location off and freeze most apps running in the background unless needed.

I switched from lg keyboard to Google and use nova launcher. Lg home screen is disabled.

Animations are disabled also in the Dev settings.

---------- Post added at 08:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:09 PM ----------

Well I'm sure if I was running cpu intensive apps or running location services and things like that my battery life would be lesser.

I am very amazed at the battery life coming from the Nexus 4.
[G3 General] latino147:
I can imagine that 5 hours of browsing/messaging eats a lot less battery than 5 hours of playing games.
[G3 General] lossah:
Ofc. Less stress on the cpu. :P
[G3 General] GTCC:
Another thing to remember is that you will get more sot with the first 50% than the second 50%
[G3 General] qbanlinxx:
I've been noticing that for quite some time, any idea why that is?
[G3 General] meyerweb:
Apps that do lots of background data syncing really do eat up the battery. Check sync intervals on those apps, and set them as far apart as will work for you. Facebook seems to ignore anything you set and constantly touch base with the mother ship.
[G3 General] Richieboy67:
True, that is why I freeze it unless I need it.:D
[G3 General] joqsan:
Ok maybe I'm misunderstanding something but how do you disable MLT on Verizon G3. I've tried finding it in the hidden menu and its no where to be found
[G3 General] trent999:
I cannot find MLT or LG MLT either on my rooted Verizon G3. I wanted to freeze it in Titanium Backup, but it's not there.
[G3 General] papercut19:
I was just stopping in to ask the exact same question about the verizon G3 . I've searched and searched and can't find MLT with titanium back up or a file manager or hidden menu.
[G3 General] Richieboy67:
I'm not sure if you guys can do it with a locked boot loader. I could be wrong though.
[G3 General] lossah:
I did with locked bootloader, so yeah it's possible. :P International D855.
[G3 General] trent999:
I can see anything installed on the phone with root, right ?, but I don't see the MLT or LG MLT anywhere yet.
[G3 General] SaneinOne:
MLT apk/odex file can be found in system/app directory.
[G3 General] illmatters:
disable in hidden menu (3845#*880# -> MLT -> disable)

try this

or

Download Titanium backup and uninstall it. I got it to work, haven't noticed any speed or battery changes though yet
[G3 General] latino147:
Yesterday I greenified most apps, also I set the brightness from 65 to 45 (but still automatic).

Today I have 1:21 SOT (38%) and 24% Android system. Battery is at 90% now. A big improvement compared to yesterday. Does Greenify work THAT well?:D
[G3 General] illmatters:
That's insane! WTH, I just did the same thing this morning on mine, notice a slight improvement but nothing that drastic! I got a feeling this V10J software is part of the issue, stupid carrier slow as hell too test updates
[G3 General] Japultra:
How in the world did you get 1:21 at 90%? I set my screen brightness to 0%!!!! with no auto brightness - so the screen was at its DIMMEST possible and I only got ~40 minutes at 90% and I was on wifi. Most apps are greenified and I have debloated using Tit. Backup. I'm flabbergasted by the SoT some of you are getting. It's insane.
[G3 General] codified:
Titanium backup is the better way. Disabling it through the menu doesn't always work - some people have reported that it still runs in the background. Just rip that shizzle out completely by uninstalling the apk with Titanium.
[G3 General] illmatters:
I did uninstall it bro lol I just said that
[G3 General] latino147:
yeah, it's clear that so many factors have influence. Compared to yesterday the difference was 30%, only with greenify as extra option.

Btw, the setting was 45%, but I had autobrightness on and when I looked it was back to 0% too.
[G3 General] Japultra:
Where were you looking? The % indicator doesn't change when you set auto brightness to on, so I'm wondering.
[G3 General] latino147:
you are right. I think I moved it manually to zero, but the auto-brightness had already set it to zero because nothing changed.

I was lying sick in a dark room, so I must have spent that 1:21 with zero brightness.

Also, it seems like the first 5% of battery are 'free', it takes a while before it goes down from 100 ;)
