I agree. After root, debloating, removing carrier IQ my battery life is amazing!!

I just sold my HTC One M8 and do not regret the decision at all.

My biggest problem was the LAG but with some kernel tweaks this phone is very responsive and amazing battery life.

Its ashame that LG couldnt release this phone with these tweaks already done so that people wouldnt get a bad first impression.
[T-Mobile LG G3] spierce617:
So what debloating did you do?

How did you remove carrier IQ?
[T-Mobile LG G3] snrbobo:
Carrier IQ.

Does this give you extra battery? Cant get past 2hrs on SOT. :'( I have like really bad battery.
[T-Mobile LG G3] wideasleep1:
I'd say it was noticeable...do you also run Greenify?
[T-Mobile LG G3] Galaxysm:
I'll give it a try later then thanks.. and nope dont really know how that works ha..
[T-Mobile LG G3] wideasleep1:
It is an app sleeper versus a freezer. Requires root but you tell it to run only the apps you want and it sleeps the rest until you launch them. Can result in significant battery savings by reducing resources and wakelocks. Cheers!

[T-Mobile LG G3] Gam3r 4 Life:
Hello Forum, its been awhile since I posted. I just jumped (literally) from the Galaxy S4 to the G3 using my first T-Mobile Jump. And I can say I have no regrets. I absolutely love this phone, and seem to find some new way to customize it every day.

Anyway when I first got the phone I could not believe my battery life. It was insanely good. I am a light to moderate user, and there were a couple times where it lasted 2 days before I had to connect it to a charger. But in the last 2 days it went from that to terrible. And Im not sure why. It even went completely dead overnight when I was sleeping and not using it at all. It was left at about 90% full before I went to sleep, then totally dead when I woke up. This never happened before.

I checked the battery usage and didnt see anything unusual. But I did notice something that my S4 use to do as well. It would disconnect from my router (which is about 10' away), and give me the "connect to wifi to make wifi calls" message and it would disconnect from wifi. Then I would have to reboot my router to fix this, but it always happened again. I think this is because I have been using the 5ghz band of my router, but Im not sure. I was using the 5ghz because I would get interference with my headset that runs only on 2.4ghz if both my phone and headset were on. I am trying the 2.4 with my G3 now to see if that will stop the disconnects. Anyway my question is this. Would the fact that my phone was constantly switching from wifi to data and back cause the severe drop in battery life? And if not what should I look for? Thanks
[T-Mobile LG G3] motoridersd:
Did you install any new apps recently? I would check your wake locks with better battery stats and see what is causing your phone to not sleep. I miss having the awake/sleep indicator on the battery graph screen.
[T-Mobile LG G3] raw2000j:
Lol me too
[T-Mobile LG G3] Deggy:
You guys really need to check out the kernel section. It's getting active. Great battery life on my G3.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Gam3r 4 Life:
Just wanted to update this. I dont know what was wrong before. But all I did was change the channel I was using in the 5ghz of my router and my phone is back and better than ever. I am not lying here at all. I have never had a device that lasts so long. Ill post my current results now. 31% left after 49 hours. Moderate use. Powered on the whole time with Wifi, Data, Location, and sync on the whole time.
[T-Mobile LG G3] msegura420:
Battery life on the phone is terrible compared to the note 3 i broke over 8hrs screen on time with my stock note it was such a disappointment for me switching from samsung to lg i shall definitely be trashing this piece of crap for the note 4
[T-Mobile LG G3] davwman:
Wow! Cool story!
[T-Mobile LG G3] itsalexaye90:
Lol at getting 8 hours on the Note 3. You must not have used it.
[T-Mobile LG G3] _-..zKiLLA..-_:
Today was a normal day for me, at 3% left with 14h39m on, 4hr8m screen on. With no power saving crap and on stock unrooted. Its not terrible but doesnt blow me away either
[T-Mobile LG G3] Mi|enko:
Absolutely love this phone and the battery life. Turned on the battery saver at 15%.
[T-Mobile LG G3] chrisjm00:
I average about four and a half hours of screen time coupled with around 15 hours off charger. Most of the time it's docked at my desk charging at work though.
[T-Mobile LG G3] BennyTwoThumbs:
Just flashed skydragon rom/kernel 2 days ago and so far that has boosted my battery by a noticeable amount. Gunna give it a few days to see how it compares to stock.
[T-Mobile LG G3] JesseMT4G:
I wish I got better times. I still can't get over 4 hours sot and just over 10 hours total.

I generally get 16-18 hours in a work day and over 2 hours SOT and off days in general 13-14 hours and 3 hours sot.

It is what it is...
[T-Mobile LG G3] stevessvt:
I'm using Green Power premium, so far I am 3.5 hours off charger, only 15 minutes on screen time, but still at 100% charge. Stock not rooted. Only had the phone for a little over a day so far, so not sure if thats good or not.

Just over 4 hours now, and I forgot to include that I streamed pandora in my car for about 20 minutes, too.
[T-Mobile LG G3] dreamsforgotten:
After the first day with mine so the battery hasn't settled in yet.
[T-Mobile LG G3] H4rryTipp3r:
So, this is literally me taking my phone off the charger and not touching it at all until now... terrible!
[T-Mobile LG G3] mingkee:
Disable sync, especially where the phone doesn't get any signal, can save a lot of battery.

If I leave sync on all the time, I have to replace the battery after 7-8 hours, but if I turn sync off, the phone has around 30-40% battery left after the same amount of time.
[T-Mobile LG G3] mzrdisi:
I can probably get between 6-8 hours with moderate use. 4 if I'm using it heavily. I'd say battery life is worse than the HTC One M7. Which puts it worse than the S4.
[T-Mobile LG G3] decaturbob:
I go 24 hrs with nearly 4 hrs of screen time and once made it over 70hrs before I thru it on the charger. no way this G3 is worse than M7 or S4....you need to check what you got running and do some tweaking.
[T-Mobile LG G3] wideasleep1:
Tweaking does help. I am currently 15 hours unplugged with two hours screen on and showing 62 percent remaining.

Sent from my amazing LGG3!
[T-Mobile LG G3] decaturbob:
definitely helps. I don't let anything sync, I don't let wifi scan when not connected, I have debloated and froze apps where possible. I hear people say they can't make it day...well there are reasons and its not the phone
[T-Mobile LG G3] mzrdisi:
Sorry, I am not changing my habits on how I use the phone. Nor am I complaining, I'm just noting my usage time. I've basically used my android phones all the same since the HTC Dream.

I leave BT on, WiFi on, GPS on, I run a variety of social media apps and a few games. But most of my usage involves browsing the web, and using the camera. I don't have any run away apps. Seems the device on average sucks up about 10-15% per hour when in use.

I was in Chicago the other day and probably could have gotten 12 hours on a single charge. But I did limit my usage quite a bit, but I had good reason to as I was watching the Cubs whip the O's. haha
[T-Mobile LG G3] motoridersd:
I find this phone to be very good under heavy use and imperfect conditions. I've been in Mexico all week using T-Mobile's free international data roaming most of the time. I hopped on to WiFi from time to time, but having all my usual things running while using a 128kbps connection had the phone using the cell radio a lot.

This is today's usage. My Nexus 5 would have been dead hours ago with barely over an hour of screen time.

I did have an hour where I was in airplane mode, but I was listening to music over bluetooth.

Today has been a very heavy usage day since I'm on my way back home.
[T-Mobile LG G3] wideasleep1:
Now up to 22 hours unplugged almost 3 hours (2:50) screentime and 43% remaining. Simple debloat and carrierIQ removal and blocked that one system app from accessing the interwebs...

Gawd I hate tapatalk! It's the 1000 system app mentioned in another battery thread, I guess...screenie is up in oblivion..

Great battery life.

I am getting better battery life from my new completely STOCK g3 , than my rooted and ROMed Verizon Note 3!

I streamed Pandora from 8am-430pm and still had 48% battery left. At the end of the day i was left with 21% @ 1130pm with heavy social media use and calling/txts.

cant wait until more Roms come out and the battery life gets even better.

I heard the G3's battery was bad, but I just want to hear from other people how much battery life they're getting.

I have G2 as well, and it seems that G3 would consume the power twice as much compared to G2 in whatever I do.

How long does your battery last with heavy usage on around 70~80% brightness o_O?

[Moto X Q&A] SahilC:
Hey!

So I'm going be getting a phone on Verizon. Do you think (at this point, 10 months old) it's a good idea to go with the Moto X?

How is development for Moto X? I'm not interested in CM or most custom ROMS. Just when Moto stops updating officially, I'd like to have a stock ROM. That's all.

Also, how do you think the SAMOLED screen will manage as Android is getting whiter and lighter than before? I've heard that amoled screens are good with blacks, but there aren't many anymore with Android.

Lastly, are there any issues or differences with the Verizon one? I'm not sure if I should go with a plan, or unlocked!

Thanks,
