after dpi change...

After changing DPI, doesnt it bother you the statusbar clock battery and bla gets really bigger? or is there a workaround for this? please help
[G3 General] Batfink33:
You change the resolution to 1080x1920 then change the DPI to around 460. DPI and resolution are 2 different things.

PS. I don't think there's that big a performance increase on 1080. Its still for me much the same in terms of lag and frame rate.
[G3 General] holygeek:
thanks but my only problem is notification bar and symbols are getting really big and looking bad when i change res. or dpi =/
[G3 General] Batfink33:
If you are on 1080x1920 then a DPI of around 460 will give you "normal" icons. If not try rebooting, this happens to me but corrects itself after i reboot.

I'm using an unrooted LG G3 and I dont get the people who say that it has a poor battery life.
[G3 General] Osseon:
To all the people complaining that lowering the screen to 1080p defeats the purpose of the phone I have a couple of points to share:

1) The other flagship, the Galaxy S5, is locked down with E-fuse tech that voids your warranty. Plus the back cover looks like a bandaid.

2) The LG G2 doesn't have access to Sprint Spark, which currently allows all such equipped phones speed up to 6 megaBYTES a second.

3) The screen is IPS and still has amazing color even at 1080p.

4) G3 will probably get access to Android L, which the G2 most likely won't (Maybe it will with Roms?)

5) G3 Has lazerzzz Pew pew.

I could go on and on and on, but I am liking the sound of a 1080p phone with the option of going to 1440p to wow my friends and watch movies on (if one can find a movie in 1440p) While day to day use only using 1080p for nice performance and battery.

This topic has probably put the final word on my purchase, july 18th can't come fast enough.

in pc world running things below LCD's native res will result in blurry mess, isn't it the same with phone?
[G3 General] Vidfreek:
So far, thats with doing some texting and reading some news through my apps, I havent made any calls or done anything else really and its down 30% with the screen taking up most of it. Its always that way, the screen drains a ton and no other app or service ever goes above where android OS is in that picture. Oh and my screen time is at 1h 22m 26s, forgot that picture

So from the looks of it, I'll just get over 4 hours of screen time with my current usage, other people have been getting that low as well but others are getting 6 hours or more AND they are doing more than I am, I'm not watching videos or playing any games at all
[G3 General] rAndroid3:
Solved!

Solved! after wiping data/cahe , i lost all my data. i aint going to try this till a custom recovery release...:rolleyes:
[G3 General] meyerweb:
Well, the screen is clearly the biggest user. What's your screen on time, and where do you have brightness set? Is it on automatic, or manual brightness?
[G3 General] Vidfreek:
As of that posting, my screen time was 1h 22m and 6sec

That was without about 4 hours of having the phone on off the charger.

I always use automatic brightness and its on with 50% set otherwise.

Checking right now, about an hour and a half after posting those screens, I'm at

6h 4 min usage on battery

61% screen with barely an increase in time on, which is now at 1h 36min and 44s

overall battery left is 63% and it was 71% as of that posting

I've only used the screen 14 more minutes yet lost almost 10% more in an hour and a half time, with that kind of usage (and me barely doing anything with the phone) it sure seems like something is wrong with this battery.
[G3 General] Vidfreek:
Okay getting my wife's numbers, she has been on 8 some hours off of charge, I've been 7, she's used the screen for 1h 20m and I've used mine 1h 54m and in that amount of time, 24 minutes has cost me about 25% more battery she was at 75% while I was close to 50%, usage otherwise has been about the same, all I've done today was reply here, send some texts and browsed my news apps for that time, I'm thinking something isn't right
[G3 General] latino147:
Vidfreek, why don't you swap your battery for a day with your wife to rule that out?

Also you could wipe your phone and start out very basically with the minimum number of apps, slowly adding one by one.
[G3 General] Vidfreek:
Well I had her use her phone for another half an hour to see where her battery would be at, low and behold it was very close to mine after 2 hours of screen time, so I'm just using my phone a lot more than I thought, hard to believe the screen sucks this much juice, in that sense I do miss my HTC one as it could last twice as long, but I guess you make sacrifices to get an inch bigger and quad hd display. So thanks and it looks like all is normal, just gonna get some extra batteries and also getting the free one from LG. ☺
[G3 General] meyerweb:
I know this is an old thread, but if you're still hanging around can you explain just what you did for number 2? And what the service app is?
[G3 General] darkshot:
I would also like to know what this service was. I know that reducing the resolution made ​​a difference in consumption, which now another secret?
[G3 General] haris182:
maybe he meant this http://xdaforums.com/xperia-u/issues/app-disable-service-t2455525
[G3 General] Richieboy67:
I do not know much about this particular topic but even if you lower the resolution aren't all of the pixels still being used?

I actually love this screen but I do not see how messing with the screen is going to save any battery. I don't think you can do anything to stop all of the pixels from being activated and that is the cause of the extra energy consumption.

If I'm wrong please explain.

lockscreen wallpapper

hi,

In a moment of nothing to do and curiosity I installed this resolution changer.

I changed to HD as discussed and returned to original because it was everything very small..

Everything was ok, but the lockscreen wallpapper changed and now i can´t set an image for it because it is wrong scaled, i mean, when i put a face picture, i get a zoom on the hair for example...

does someone knows how to fix it?

thanks!
[G3 General] Hazletts:
I don't know if you've posted a picture of the usage when your phone's battery completely drained, but if you did, can you re-post it again? As I didn't read all the comments.

I'll ask you for the instructions when I buy this phone :P
[G3 General] bbliss17:
Tutorial?

As I scanned through a lot of these pages I still didn't see an easy guide on how to get this amazing battery life?

If I missed it can someone please copy and paste or send me the link. Thanks.

The GPU or CPU does not have to render in 1440p, but 1080p, so it is less strain on the unit, conserving battery.

[G3 General] Mistertac:
You guys should just root your G3 and then use Greenify to Hibernate apps and use WakeLock Detector and Better Battery Stats to see what's eating your Battery.

Plus the UnBounce xposed module let's you get even more juice back.

[G3 General] bbliss17:
What have you done differently or how do you think you got those kind of numbers?
[G3 General] deutsh:
I am so disappointed about battery life at first of use ...indeed [emoji20] .

But after a 2-3 weeks of use i do somthing .....at my sleep I using the airplane mode ......turn of the macafee app.......when I don't use the phone (at sleep,doing somthing....etc.)I close every app in background (press the backgrounds app botton... Then "clear all".......the brightness at 40 % ......using non-bright wallpaper like the default wallpaper with Purple tint .....using the default luncher...default everythings.

Did you know how much hours I get ...look to at this pictures.....

Sent from my LG-D855
[G3 General] freaked9:
Yes, but it has scale up this resolution to the screen's physical 1440p res. and that takes also resources (plus heat and battery). Beside that, the picture will be worse in quality as if it where rendered in the native resolution. Could some minor advantage in battery life though, sacrificing picture quality, but not much i think.
[G3 General] darkshot:
I'm also disappointed with the consumption of my battery. Here got 3h and 20 screen time. I left the 2G network, I'm using greenify.

One thing I noticed, looking at CPUZ app saw that two cores are active even with the minimum clocks. Is this normal?
[G3 General] meyerweb:
I'm not an expert either, but I tend to agree with freaked. 2D graphics, even at 1440p, are trivial for the GPU. It's only when you get to 3D that you start really taxing the processor, and using lots of battery.
[G3 General] Richieboy67:
Yes, this is what I was thinking about the physical res.
[G3 General] Molius:
Hello everyone, I've used this trick to successfully downscale the resolution, then used app settings xposed module to "revive" LG apps. However, now my music app crashes immediately after I start playing anything. I have set the dpi to 530 and font scale to 75 in app settings, I can open the app and browse the playlists/settings normally, but the second I press play the crash error appears, though music continues playing until I press OK to close the crash error.

I'm not into alternative players and would really like to keep it stock as possible.

Has anyone ran into similar situation or has a workaround?

Any help is appreciated.
[G3 General] UndecidedlyTalented:
So I just downloaded NoMone and changed my Resolution to 1080x1920 with 530 DPI. I didn't download the tweaker app.

1. My SwiftKey Board, I can't seem to resize it since I have applied the resolution changes. I know where to go to change it on the keyboard but since it's so zoomed in I cant navigate to it. LG Keyboard works fine and shows fine. Restarted as well and same issue.

Maybe Uninstalling and Reinstalling?
[G3 General] ts_mpls:
I had lots of troubles like that too. What I found was that in addition to changing the resolution in the app, I also had to change the density in the build.prop file to match. Then reboot and everything was fine!
[G3 General] xjacko7x:
I am regularly getting 16 hours with about 25% ish remaining on battery with moderate to heavy usage running stock, not rooted....and after reading through this thread wonder how much more folks want out of the phone. If I want more I will honestly just get a spare battery before downgrading the display, apps and everything else just for an extra few hours off the charger......

Is android tweaker 2 aslo known as root kernel? Cause im having trouble finding it in the play store?

---------- Post added at 10:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:44 AM ----------

I think i might be having the same problem. My keyboard seems screwed up and my app drawer button is huge and my app icons seem bigger then normal. Does this mean i have to change the density in build.prop or what if any on has any suggestions and a guide on how to do them please let me know
[G3 General] meyerweb:
I haven't messed with the resolution at all, but here are my battery figures from yesterday:

In my experience, the biggest determinant of battery life is screen brightness. Yesterday I was indoors all day, and could keep the backlight low.
[G3 General] Preter:
This is quite tiresome hearing about why the G2 is better etc. etc. It is not.

People buy the G3 for so many other reasons than just the QuadHD screen. Its screen to phone size ratio is the best and offers a 5.5" massive screen in the smallest phone possible. Even the latest releases like the Note 4 and iPhone 6 Plus cannot hold a candle to the LG G3. This aspect about the screen with its thin bezel was a major clincher for a heavy power user like me who also does a lot of outdoor sports.

Besides, there is the FM radio, removeable battery, SD card etc. etc.

Furthermore, you are all still missing the point about Nomone. Its also about the possibility to down-res phones to 720p to further improve battery life too. Many phones larger than 5" can still look good at 720p eg. the Xiaomi Redmi Note.

For the record, I am extremely happy with battery life on my LG G3. I have NEVER run out of juice before reaching home. I have never had to carry an external battery pack or powerbank when I leave home. Its highly liberating but why pass up the chance to test something that can stretch battery life to 2 days or more (if I am in a mountain or jungle somewhere)?

For a smallish screen like your LG G2, 720p may still look good and also improve your battery life too (I'm postulating, still testing Nomone for its possibilities on my G3), especially after a year or two of use when your internal non-removeable battery starts to wear out and can't hold its charge as well as when you first bought it ... ...

---------- Post added at 08:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:08 PM ----------

The problem with Swiftkey is well documented. Mine was screwed up completely too. However other keyboards like LG's keyboard, Swype, Android L keyboard etc. have been reported to still work perfectly fine.

Therefore I am persisting with my testing of Nomone. Currently hard put to see any improvement in battery life.

---------- Post added at 08:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:29 PM ----------

You're missing the point - whatever kinda folk you are, your battery WILL die one day.

I sold my Galaxy S2 for $200 after 3 years of use. Not difficult when the buyer knows that she can slap a brand new battery into it and it will work better than when newly bought (out of the box with Gingerbread omg) now that it is on Android Kitkat.
[G3 General] pappalard0:
Setting 1080p would cause stretching an image composed by 3 pixels in 4 pixels.

W/ 720p, you exactly use 4 pixels to display 1 pixel, as apple did with iphone 4 and ipad retina.

Have u tried this option?
[G3 General] mcmike_cz:
Trouble with changing resolution to 1920*1080 is quick circle... Completely doesn't work.

But I set all back to qHD and managed GPU to power saving via Trickster.

Overheating and battery drain are gone. All works well. Antutu benchmark shows 37k points.

jasmine rom

I just got the lg g3. Before its first full day of use i had jasmine rom on it:D. Debloated it further and tweaked the ui with tweakbox.... I am currently at 9 hours from the charger and 3 hrs screen on time at 33%. I have the vzw version... I bought this phone because of the removable battery and zerolemon makes a battery for this phone also. If i keep getting battery life like this i may not get the zerolemon after all...once i reach 1% ill post a screenshot

amazing battery life ? All i done to get my G3 works longer was deleting Facebook from phone....BOOOM magic trick, battery last for more than two days, on screenshot you may see time, i disconnect phone from charger at 7 morning, , then had few minutes call, 5 sended texts, some browsing to read news, take screenshot......after that i use Spotify online for like 5 hours, few calls ( 37 minutes in total) and around 23 evening i was at 47 percent of battery. I think it's quite ok result, never was even close to it with fb, mostly around 19 - 21 o'clock i need connect phone with 2 percent of battery left
[G3 General] TheSkyline35:
Your battery is really better ? Post your screen on time please. Because I fastly loose my %
[G3 General] meyerweb:
Without screen on time, that's meaningless. I can get that kind of battery life by just letting my phone sit and not using it.
[G3 General] TheSkyline35:
So i delete Facebook and messenger, I will watch if autonomy looks better.
[G3 General] withoutnickname:
i do it soon, just flash new rom, gonna charge phone , then make screenshot when battery will be almost dead
[G3 General] withoutnickname:
That's my phone first day without fb, search dropbox and found it. Last for quite long time compared to what was before. now, as i told before, with clean install, i charge phone, gonna use it as always, then post results. Have to say i call a lot, especially in work, it's free :) So better than spent hundreds of bucks on headphones with walkie-talkie to talk to each other while we away :) So, results may vary, depend how much i use phone in work, maybe post one from working day and one over weekend ?
[G3 General] TheSkyline35:
Nice, I gonna do my day without FB too for see diferences.

Actually with a all day with FB + messenger I do 4h screen on (not really good....)

Yeah I had no idea you can change the resolution. I just got the G3 about a week ago myself and honestly I haven't experienced any issues with overheating. The battery life isn't much of an issue, but I make sure to have a charger available in addition to the one in my car so I'm always covered.
[G3 General] jayfiled:
I've found a sweet spot that works for me with no noticeable issues. 1080 x 1920 res, 400dpi. Can't use Google now launcher but the battery life is noticeably better. Probably 20% increase. Although it doesn't bother me I can tell the difference between the 2k and 1080 resolutions. It's noticeably fuzzier.

[G3 General] jayfiled:
I changed them in the bliss pop interface settings. You can set how many pixels the status bar and nav bar are.

I changed back to 2k screen as there was an obvious blurriness compared to my co-workers

, 2k is much better. Also bliss pop is super smooth and quick but there are a few issues including battery drain. But the speed is worth it in this case. I feel like a nexus user.

Anyway after changing the resolution to FHD with 405 ppi, i only got 2Hours SOT of 50% battery. It helped by wifi only without signal on (airplane mode) and greenify and also little bit of gaming (less than 15min, the rest about 1H 45Min is browsing and chatting).

Meanwhile in the default reso and ppi i only got less than 3H (mostly 2h and 30min) SOT of about 90% battery. Does it normal or it means time to replace the battery for the new one?
