The connection is as stable and strong as possible because the router is about 2-3 meters away from the phone. As for the data received, I get about 10GB/hour as I watch a lot of fhd and qhd videos.
[G4 General] One Twelve:
which means you will be close to 4h sot by 5% with a run time approaching 12h ? there is no problem in that case.

Lower your screen brightness. And use manual.

You said you were using youtube this means app consumption will be there too. You are not just downloading.

---------- Post added at 03:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:20 PM ----------

How long for ?

if you do it over the entire period of the battery cycle then the share of wifi will come down. if its only from 100-90% then wifi share will be higher.
[G4 General] kyogiro:
Well, it's been like couple dozens of gigs, so it took some time. Other that than Wi-Fi consumption has been low, so I thought it was only normal that Wi-Fi battery consumption has gone up that day.

Still having pretty bad battery life. 3h 15m SoT and it only lasted half a day. It's on H+/3G the entire time and brightness is at 50% auto.

Used it mainly for listening to music and reddit sync.

Attached is my BBS log, can anyone assist to see if I can make any more improvements?

So I upgraded to MM and then reverted back to LP and updated via LG bridge to the latest available LP version. Then something magical happened - I started getting 4+ hours SoT in 24+ hours of use. Seems like a few reflashes and factory resets can do all kinds of stuff. :D

my battery life on L.P v10H with auto brightness :

​
[G4 General] Cozmos23:
If you have 3h sot in half a day maybe consider a battery pack or a second battery?

Battery is fine.

If u want longer sot set lowest brightness possible and auto off. But I would suggest a dark room or some sort or cateyes to read the screen on your phone :p

If u go to accessibility settings - see there is a setting to make the screen even darker.

Now if u want to post a big sot search for a plain black wallpaper, let the gallery show it, set no display timeout and set lowest brightness possible.

Profit and have up to 8h sot.

Hi everyone, I am coming from s3 and about to buy g4. While battery rating on gsm arena are about the same i still have to ask a question or two cos i see a lot of people has problems. The way i use the phone is no games at all, some youtube, 2g when phone is not in use, hsdpa(its s3 :) when surfing, some video on occasion but i use a lot of gps for route mapping(screen off). My modified s3 usualy gets 4-4.5h sot when i dont use gps and overnight with everything off(wifi,mobile internet,gps) i get 1% power drain for 7-8h of standby. Usualy what is not in use its off, so i dont keep wifi, data, gps turned on at all times like i see people do and consider that normal use..

So here goes, what can i expect from g4 with similar usage? How much does gps use, like some navigation app in background with screen off? how big can standby drain be with just phone on?

Thanks :)
[G4 General] frigidazzi:
That will be over 5 hours of screen on time. Sounds like a huge improvement from my nexus 5. cant wait for mine to get here!
[G4 General] stl-soldier:
I'm going to leave it off the charger tonight to see if I can really make it 2 days and 10+ hours of screen on time with one charge.
[G4 General] didi_ghost:
Dude, just how you guys do it.. Lol.
[G4 General] *justintime*:
Just turn off a lot of Android system settings. Because I don't see them in battery used apps. And with mine G4 it is always the second large batt. drain.

Don't believe the hype these kind of threads always set people on a contest.

With normal use with 50% auto brightness. And all sensors on. So normal use and benefits.

You get around 4 hours SOT with total of 15 hours.
[G4 General] didi_ghost:
Wich Settings you talking about?
[G4 General] *justintime*:
These are always my biggest drainers. Don't see them on the "winner" stats.
[G4 General] didi_ghost:
Same as me. I don't get how you managed those SoT's. That isn't your first battery cicle right?
[G4 General] nadram:
Eh? That's very decent. Not blazing awesome, but pretty good. Nothing to be disappointed about. You're getting 5 hours total SOT.
[G4 General] didi_ghost:
For someone that is used to the Galaxy S5 battery life, it's bad :P . But well, let's see if he improves during cicles, it's only my first one. On stand-by during all night (7hours) i didn't lost anything wich is pretty good.
[G4 General] Sorensiim:
My battery life is completely horrendous:

[IMG="derp"]http://i.imgur.com/S6x4gjX.png[/IMG]

Less than 12 hours from 100% to 10%, with as little as 27 minutes of SOT. Did a full wipe, unplugged my MicroSD but the battery was still plummeting. Then today at 14:00 I plowed through all the running processes and disabled all the crud I didn't want:

[IMG="derp2"]http://i.imgur.com/fOY4JnK.png[/IMG]

Here's to hoping it helps so I won't have to return the phone. I really like the G4 but there's most definitely something wrong with the way mine gobbles power.
[G4 General] scrillakev:
Hey how did you change the signal bar?
[G4 General] rsbenedict:
I didn't have the Optimus G, but that is not the signal bar for LG G4. I think, it was the screen shot from his Optimus G.
[G4 General] stl-soldier:
I don't see it as a contest. Getting better or worse battery than someone else has no bearing on me personally. Even the worst phones can get good battery life if you disable everything and sit on a blank, dim screen for 6+ hours. That's not the point of this thread. I happen to get great battery life when used as I normally do compared to my last device (SGS4). There are no "winners" because there is no prize. This is just a few people sharing results. Obviously everyone uses their devices differently, so YMMV is implied.
[G4 General] *justintime*:
So howcome you don't have the Android system in the stats?

And you don't have to make "excuses" but the stats you show is realized to set it up as a dumbphone.
[G4 General] scrillakev:
I was hoping there was a way to change it for some reason I dislike that signal bar. Thanks man.
[G4 General] stl-soldier:
I don't use Smart Settings, My Places, or NFC. Maybe one of those is killing battery at a high rate for some people. Maybe I've identified an issue with one of those, which is kind of the point of the thread. I use BT, WiFi, GPS, and mobile data. All of those radios are on 24x7. I've spent a lot of time on XDA, browsing the web, a little YouTube, a little Maps/Navigation, a couple phone calls, and a lot of texts. If you consider that using it as a dumb phone, then I guess that's what I use it as. Either way, I'm at 29 hours on battery with 7 hours of screen on time with 22% battery left. I'm not here to impress you or anyone else. Just sharing my unique results. Maybe your phone just doesn't like you.
[G4 General] DoctorB0NG:

[G4 General] randpost:
I get 6-8 hrs battery life and Android system is always second or third on my list. Screen is always first.

Just because you don't get over 5 hrs of SOT doesn't mean others can't in normal usage. Try not to sound so bitter about it.

We use our phone differently. For example, I don't use tapatalk, as it isn't well optimized and drains my battery more than my web browser does. I am in an area with stellar 4g signal. All these things contribute to better battery life in daily use.
[G4 General] stl-soldier:
Auto all day, and 30% or 50% after the lights go out. Auto is too dim and jumps around too much when I'm lying in bed watching TV. I think the light from the TV bouncing off the wall behind me is causing the brightness to go dim and jump around. Any other situation the auto setting is fine. My SGS4 doesn't have the same issue though. I'm going to try to fix it with Lux or Velis.
[G4 General] lepixable:
Hi, got a brand new g4, i'm happy about battery life: today i got 5 hours SoT, using wifi in the morning and 3g in the afternoon/evening. Had a pretty stressful days, about 10 calls, browsing with chrome and watching videos on youtube. Also did 15 minutes of pretty light gaming.. Booted phone at 100% at 8.30 in the morning, here you have a couple of screenshot before i plugged charger in at 23.46 with 3% left (15h 24min phone on). I used battery saving mode from 10% to about 5%.

I got 5 hours and 17 minytes SoT.

I think with lighter usage, phone could've lasted a couple of hours more.

EDIT: i see i unfortunately can't post images due to being new user, sorry about that.
[G4 General] mattnin:
Today I had 6H 40M SOT with 10% remaining. I had heavy chrome usage throughout the entire discharge and was on 4G LTE the entire time Total time was 10H 52M. My phone is a t mob rooted with xposed and greenify and titanium backup.

I keep hearing all these battery life haters and wanted people know battery life is great especially if you keep your recent and cache cleared. Also deleted the Facebook app and create a chrome Facebook shortcut on your home screen gave me over an hour of sot.
[G4 General] krater1212:
I can confirm that Facebook has weird wakelocks even when you turn it off, app will start in few seconds.
[G4 General] leroybrute:
What's nice about the chrome Facebook shortcut also is that you can setup notifications via mobile, text or email. I did keep my messenger app on my phone which doesn't use near the resources that the Facebook app uses.
[G4 General] spartan268:
Hey Everyone,

Normally I'm pretty good with this stuff but for some reason my battery life struggles on work days. I can never really figure out why and thought I'll ask you guys before I throw in the towel.

According to the screenshot nothing sticks out in particular.

App usage is good.

Screen is medium to low majority of the time.

Wakelock is weird.. When I check it out in BBS and in GSAM it can only find that one wakelock, but nothing that accounts for a full hour. I can never pin this down no matter how hard I try.

Radio is a potential culprit as you can see it normally stays at medium and high. I can see the medium being somewhat of a problem...

About me phone. I have Power Nap, Amplify, Greenify (Xposed Boosted), and debloated. Auto brightness at 15% auto. Mostly use the phone for messaging and social media. Nothing major like games.

Any help?
[G4 General] Cloudus91:
How did you get 5+hr of SOT?

I can get max 3/4hr SOT and I'm using V10E with root.
[G4 General] mattnin:
Over 7 hours SOT today. I'm running a t mobile h811 sim unlocked, boot loader unlocked, root with titanium backup and greenify, adaway, restrict idle processes. Nothing too special. I was running amplify but I felt it made things worse especially because the G4 has such great idle usage anyway. I always turn wifi on and data off at home and WiFi off data on while at work. Inside I use 35% manual brightness usually and sometimes lower but when I go outside I set it to auto. I've disabled the usual bloat per the list and left everything else alone. Simple. Today was heavy chrome usage all on data not wifi, about 30 minutes of angry birds, and at least 50 minutes of Twitch on WiFi at home. Oddly, Twitch didn't show up on battery usage. I feel my G4 has OK battery life. I'd like to see it last longer. I'm seeing others with much less battery life so I guess I can't complain too much!

Also could you mention where to find the list of bloat you removed
[G4 General] mattnin:
I'm using the stock rooted H81110N system image.

I disabled bloat from the site below. I greenified all non system programs and that's it. I did nothing else. I tried messing with wakelocks and using powernap but removed them because it never did anything better and seemed to perform worse overall.

[G4 General] ciprigeorgiu:
When I was using Amplify on my Galaxy S3 ( a couple months ago) I came to the conclusion that the battery consumtion increased. I stoped using it and all went back to normal. I suggest only using greenify and greenify only battery hogs like facebook, messenger, foursquare,swarm etc.
[G4 General] spartan268:
That's strange. I always thought it's way of delaying/squashing the wakelocks would be a gift of the gods. I'll disable the module and see how it goes.

Hey guys.

I am using Leandroid to switch to 2G if the device is in standby.

My issue is that it takes very long to find 3G/Hsdpa when the device leaves standby.

I have done this because on my HTC M7 there was an hugh improvement of battery life.

My experience is that there is not much improvement on battery life.

And the issue that mobile network isnt connected right after you switch on your device -> you have to wait sometimes 5-10 secs.

Anyone of you hase experience with such apps (leandroid, Intelli3G, SmartNetwork...) and battery life on the LG G4?

thx

Hi guys,

i have bought 2 lg g4 (one for me, one for my partner), mine is having battery drain issues, on the other one there's no battery problem. We have the same use on a day (we are using them barely, just some wechat and whatsupp messages, navigation through settings and almost nothing more...only wifi on, brightness at less then 30%, no gps, no data, 3g) but we are experiencing different situations. I've tried marshmallow and lollipop, i'm trying to calibrate the battery, i'm trying everything but nothing seems to work. The main difference is in the battery statistics...i have anomalous " android operating system " and "android system" voices who are apparentely too high..mine are around 30%, on the other one is less than 10%. What could i do? I don't know what else to do...
[G4 General] KoRoZIV:
Usualy a restart takes care of high usage from Android system and/or operating system. About once every 2 weeks I get the same behavior, it's random. This and Google services, but usually they annoy me for about 24 hours and go away.

Disable smart settings and fitness apps if you don't use them.

And try the old school battery charging once: when at 2% plug in the charger and then turn the phone off and leave it over night.

Stop flashing lollipop and mm every day, just use the latest for your model and be patient with it :)
[G4 General] kolembo:
I have great battery life!

My phone is brand new so that might be helping, however the battery life is almost as good as my note 4.

One App that works well with LG G4 and not with the Samsungs is; shutapp WITH doze.

For some reason this App seems to clash with my Samsungs but is REALLY good with the G4.

Try it and see - it made a huge difference for me, even though my battery was already good enough to last a full day (7am-9pm) very heavy usage, dual SIM, LTE and wifi always on.

What the App seems to do is shut everything down when the screen is off. If I don't turn the phone on, the percentage drop is incredible - like 1% the whole day.
[G4 General] dolcezzagirl:
So, i've found that the problem is that my phone doesn't go in deep sleep. I've tested with the cpu spy app on both phones...mine does around 65% deep sleep, the other does 87%-90% deep sleep. I don't know what to do, cause i don't want to lose my warranty by flashing a kernel. What can i do? I don't know how to find what makes it work and not sleep.
[G4 General] WestCoastSunset:
I can go a day ~ day and a half without charging. After installing Galaxy On Fire 2 HD, however 45 minutes to an hour of gameplay will kill the battery to about 50 % (from a full charge). Sometimes, I forget and leave the gps on so that may play a part. Watching video's on the elipitical will kill about 10 ~ 20 % sometimes (30 to 50 minutes worth).

So you are using JB rom ? and your batterlife is shockingly good considering a G4 device, cuz manny people have poor battery life on their g4. However you managed to find a way I gues, but what about the camera quality cuz you r not using the official camera proprietary which is only found on LG G4 software OS. But even so, do you experience poor camera shots on your jb rom ? and what about Snapchat cuz it only supports android 5.0 or higher -_-

Please awnsers, cuz im considering to buy a phone which might be a g4, and I would like to make a good decision.

This is bull that this phones batt is so much worze than the g3. And g5 gonna be worse. Cause they give an extra battery. Shouldnt need one. Im so disapointed. With this its not even funny. I wouldnt doubt if g4 batts are left overs from the g3s
[G4 General] s3alon:
on what software version ?

mine on V20c., 818P dual sim version., after update it's worse.

tried to reset the phone., gain a bit of lifetime, but still worse. and tried to disable google now cards. quite good now.

almost the same at LP., I heard v20d fixes the battery issue.

any one on v20d., can give us some review ?

especially for non rooted one. :D

Im on zv6 5.1.1 ls991 ive debloated almost everything disabled carrier iq the logd fix. I thought bad batt so i bought a second one no change. I leave data and location and sync off.

[G4 General] DoKaTSuYa:
And the G5 will be even worst I bet.
[G4 General] terragady:
why worse? better battery, more energy friendly unit etc. Should be better. Still a lot of people are happy with G4 battery from what I see. I think its all software issue as 5x is also from LG but running vanilla and having smaller battery but the SoT is much better with new updates
[G4 General] TheMadScientist:
If itll be better why they offer a second battery instead of a vr headset or quickcircle case or something like that. Them offering a battery tells me there is a bat life issue

Guys, I'm running a debloated version of CM13, heavily tweaked kernel governor little cpu settings focusing on smooth webpage usage and videos. Past several days I've been getting over 8 hrs SOT.

[G4 General] welder73:
Which governor?

Can you share your settings for it?

Sent from my LG G4
[G4 General] davboc:
How you keep your recent cleared? With an app/option or manually every time you turn off the screen?

Thanks
[G4 General] welder73:
Well,I modified interactive governor like you told me,plus I disabled zram and changed gpu governor to simple_ondemand.

I have a little lag while I scroll some pages but I can live with that because of this battery time :thumbup:

I used just Wifi and I didn't use some heavy apps,just Xda,Twitter,Instagram,FB (not official app,Facebook_1.4b Facebook Browser by cixty@xda) but still,I think this is a pretty good battery time :)

Perhaps it would be better if I changed resoluton of the screen to full HD but...

42h 19min (6h 17min 26sec SOT) is enough for me!

Thank you for this guide man :beer:
[G4 General] leroybrute:
Just habit... Clear them when I'm done with my phone.
[G4 General] mattnin:
I'm glad it's working better for you! I am still tweaking the settings further. I've found that there is no power draw difference between the 2nd and 3rd frequency step. I've also found that it's a linear power increase from the 3rd step until 960 MHz. After that it's a major power increase from 1248-1440 MHz. Basically what I'm getting at is I think I can further fine tune loads vs frequency and maximize performance and snappiness and keep the SOT the same as the previously posted settings.
[G4 General] welder73:
Keep us informed :)

Btw,what do I have to change to get rid of this stuttering while scrolling?

Enable Zram?

Change some frequency in the governor settings?

Enable boost for another core maybe?

[G4 General] rav101:
Out of curiosity, what alternatives do you use for each of these. I know some but not all, and I might not know "the best" alternatives from a battery saving point of view? It might also help others to see what you are using as well :)
[G4 General] mattnin:
I'm using Google chrome, Google messenger, K9 Mail, Nova launcher, Calengoo. These apps make up for all the debloated packages previously listed except for NFC which I do not use.
[G4 General] mattnin:
So I have changed some settings that give smoother performance than the previous settings. There is a minor battery hit but like it has been said before, there is a trade-off. The previously posted settings are stable and will get you long battery life. These settings will also get longer than normal battery life and are smoother. Be sure to disable boost on input. The settings below take advantage of the CPU voltages. 486 and 600 MHz have the same voltage. After that, it's a linear rise to 960 MHz, after that a sharper delta to 1440 MHz. I took advantage of that fact and promoted low load differences between 384-600 MHz and slightly higher load requirements between 600-960 but faster ramp up time. Hope they work well for you! These settings will work with any kernel but work best with Llama Sweet Kernel.
