What are the setting ur using
[G4 General] dedovec:
Browser, Tapatalk, Youtube only through WiFi. GPS, NFC, Bluetooth off. The first 1.5h SOT the phone made it at 0% screen brightness in my home. The second 1.5h at auto brightness in my office. Android 6.0- the phone is useless! Especially if i use it on 3g...

6 hours SOT is possible only if you read a book at 0% brightness. I think the people must be honest, but... [emoji1]

The best i ever got by downgrading to lp
[G4 General] Voxxx:
My g4 android 6.0 stock:

-with mobile data activated battery usage from 100% to 15% ~4-5 hours

-with wifi activated battery usage from 100% to 15% ~ 13-14 hours

Why drain so fast with mobile data enabled?

Ps. I use a 3g sim not 4g one. Phone can continously search for 4g network and this drain battery?

Sorry for bad english :)
[G4 General] s3alon:
Hope they patch this problem at the next update.

I also get that kind of bad battery at mobile data.

I think this will be my best battery life ever!

OMG! How did you get that?
[G4 General] welder73:
Well,first of all,I'm on custom rom-Beanstalk.

Second,I'm using Greenify for Facebook,Viber,Messinger etc...

Also,my sync,Gps,Bluetooth are Off and I'm on 2G because I use only Wifi.

But the most important (I think) is that I lowered resolution to 1080x1920 and I'm using tweaks for Interactive governor,thanks to [MENTION=2995850]matnin[/MENTION] ,from here:

[G4 General] obvious:
What steps did you take to change the resolution and still have the lg apps working?
[G4 General] welder73:
I'm using custom rom so I don't have Lg apps.Besides,you can change the resolution only on custom roms ;)

Type this in Terminal Emulator:

su

wm size 1080x1920

Everything will be BIG! :D

But then change dpi to 440,I have this option in the rom but it can be done also with Terminal Emulator:

wm density 440

If you want to revert to default resolution,type this:

su

wm size reset

I don't have any problem in any app :)
[G4 General] danieldp1990:
OK so I was on MM V20e and battery was really anoying...... it drains the battery really quick.... so I decided to go back to LP V10g using LGUP. and I have to say that battery its so much better now!
[G4 General] obvious:
I just did this but had to use 'wm size 1080x1920' instead

Also, I had to reboot after setting density or I only saw half the keyboard etc.

Working fine though. Thanks again.

When we greenify viber or skype, will we still get calls come through.

I have Xposed and root and the donate version of greenify. I know notifications can be delayed but will a call go unanswered?

Also, which settings do you have enabled in Greenify; I'm a little confused at all the new options and there isn't much online about them.

Thanks
[G4 General] welder73:
I test that with viber and yes,the calls will come through and messages too :)

Hi everyone, some problems with G4 here. Recently i did factory reset, bought new battery, let it settle for week or so (recharge sometimes 3 times a day...) and now i can say....battery life still sucks. Really sucks.

I get nearly 2 hours OST, no deepsleep and if, battery drains like hell even when i dont play games or do some heavy stuff.

I had times on MM, when 4-4,5 hours OST was no problem, but now? I am holding my hand to throw this LG sh*t though a wall.

But i have more, than 1 year of warranty, so no root for me :/

I installed just some basic apps, like 30-40 of my usual 130, but situation is just the same. I am desperate already, i am solving this issue about month and i am still not even closer, to former battery life.

Anyone willing help? There are billions of "universal" instruction on web/xda, but if there is something particularly of G4, let me pleas know.

EDIT: i have stock MM V20d and European H815

[G4 General] Sammae7:
Completely stock AT&T LG G4. Battery is about 11 months old (I have two I swap between). Battery saver disabled, screen brightness set to ‰70, any bloat that can be disabled is disabled.

I removed it from the charger at 5:30am with a full charge. I listened to about an hour and a half of a podcast, watched two ten minute YouTube videos, and did some web browsing. A total of about 1 hour and 50 minutes of screen on time and by 12pm I had about ‰5 battery left.

Something seems off about that.

I have 2:30 SOT... But this was also with my ex-phone, S4...I was hoping with this new one to get more battery life.

I have downgraded to lollipop, 5.1, v10f TWN. I have the same applications, same habits.

Wifi off, only when needed

Data off, only when needed

Amplify, Greenify,

fast dormancy off

No sync

Doze (ap.p from playstore)

What I do, phone calls (1 hour), text messagng (not so much), some internet browsing, whatsapp... Pretty much, normal use

From what I seen the cell standby is the second consumer after the screen. The cell radio is on for almost 12-13 hours per day... I noticed that when I use the 4G data, the battery goes down a little more fast...

Can I have your opinions please?

Thank you...

I just bought this phone (it came with marshmallow preloaded) and the battery really seems to be drained a lot by the GPS. It's on all the time and I don't know why. I turned it off for the moment but this is kind of annoying :/
[G4 General] stanley08:
I really wanted to go for the G4 but the battery seems really bad. I used to get 6.5 hrs screen time on my Xperia Z3 without even trying! With medium to heavy gaming and all...

Sold my Z3 yesterday, looking for a new device. G4 ticks all the boxes except for battery life.

Screen, Camera, Software (ish), Battery life.
[G4 General] sirsomething:
If you want that much battery life you shouldnt even think about buying a phone from 2015 or 2016. Their processors are too powerful and need too much battery compared to phones from previous years. Nevertheless G4 isn't that bad compared to S6 or any other flagship from 2015. Phones from 2016 are a bit better but are much more expensive of course
[G4 General] lallolu:
I believe lowering the display resolution is the main reason for the improved battery life. I am going to try it but I m on stock ROM.

How I wish LG used FHD originally on the G4. Many people appreciate the QHD but I am one of the few that avoid phones with it since I consider it a disadvantage in a phone due to the impact on battery.

Recetly upgrade to MM

Everything is setup like lolipop(rooted) before and with debloated everything includes google play(that app s***s, always updating gp and gle services)

Brightness 14%,disabled everything in google services,just storage and location enable, gps set to battery saving

After 4th cycle of battery usage, it seems improved/better than lolipop
[G4 General] jskasia:
4.5 hours after I changed a new battery after almost a year. Normally, I got around 3.5 SOT (apply some mods), after the replacement, I got one more hour SOT. :D:D

I did not use the software to measure, just my normal use (web surfing, chat, youtube). The total online time is around 24 hours.
[G4 General] Shreyu:
5 hours 51 mins eh. That's impressive.. So you think google services are the culprit here??

---------- Post added at 11:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:00 PM ----------

There are two funny thing about my batteries (I got three of those). First, each battery when charged to a full 100%, gives a different SOT. I understand that it might happen sometime I use the phone more on one battery than when on the other.. But for this to happen everytime, I really can't understand that. Second, if I use the phone more after putting in a fresh battery, I get better SOT, compared to if I don't use the phone.. So if I start browsing on the phone once I out in a new battery, the overall SOT of the phone gets better. But if I don't use the phone after swapping in a fresh battery, the SOT sucks.. Any idea why this happens? Does this happen to anyone else?
[G4 General] faizalotai:
I think yeah, been monitoring google play services since kitkat, some version are ok but some are not..i'm just using google play services that comes together with core system..Usually google play will updates the google services by itself if there's new updates than the google play itself. When in rooted lolipop there's some services that's i disabled as we are not using it for extend our SOT but updating it will enabled back all the services that i've been disabled..That's updates come from google play. So i just uninstalled back to factory version and disabled the google play. The down side is you cannot installed apps from google play store and some app will ask you to update google services when you're installing them.

I have 2 batteries and both SOT are not the same regarding how old and how many time its been recharged. The one year old battery that i have usually got around 4 and half hours SOT and the one i posted before is 6 month old battery. In MM doze will kicked if you're not using it not like lolipop..Maybe you have something running on the background that keep your battery draining.
[G4 General] tmihai20:
44 hours since the last charge, with about 1.5 hours of screen on time. I am using stock everything (v20i), no root. I do not know exactly how I managed to make it sleep so well, but this is the third time it behaved like this. I think I started to manually set as Inactive all the apps I do not use on a daily basis. I did this until I saw that those apps remained inactive. This way I am getting a 50-80 mAh battery consumption when screen is off or when the phone is not used (like over the night).

Edit: I used to get 14-18 hours between 2 charges. This is a new record for me and I hope it lasts.
[G4 General] RogerF81:
Would say this is really bad...
[G4 General] Ali Mirza:
My H818P battery health is 73%

I also have the same "shrinked battery life! My phone is almost 2 years old! Do we think that fast charging or hot batteries during use had shrinked our batteries by 1000 mAH :eek:? If my H818P had root i would definitely look for WakeLocks in BBS app to check out the heavy battery drain!
[G4 General] ObiDanKenobi:
I am confident that the battery has lost from its power in one year of usage. How do I know this? I suffered the bootloop problem, and the image retention problem of the screen. So they replaced the phone all together. Including battery. I restored my backup and used the same Kdz. Now I have one extra hour SOT.

I am not bitter or attacking somebody.I am satisfied with my approx 4 hours SOT.

Was just curious why Android system is not present on his stats. Still no answer about that. Because with me it's a big drainer.

People should post their phone model as pre-installed apps might be part of the issue
[G4 General] Swizzle82:
Do you own the Tmo model?

Reason I'm asking. For me the Tmo account app is always running my location even adter clearing data. This is the main cause of my attery drain. Everything I've done keeps Tmo as constantly requesting under location settings. Can't do anything though til I can root and delete the app entirely.
[G4 General] LancerV:
Use Tasker to disable location services
[G4 General] Sfkn2:
No, but you can disable all their scans so that even when the app starts when the phone starts, it doesn't actually do any scanning.
[G4 General] Swizzle82:
I have but it still checks location. I've even cleared data and not even opened it to sign in.
[G4 General] Sfkn2:
I played with the settings a bit and was able to turn all of them off.. If you clear the data, it'll just go back to stock (which does scan your device). Try playing with each setting again :)
[G4 General] Swizzle82:
I'll try that, but it seems it still scans location in the background. The actual app doesn't use my battery hardly at all. It's only under location that I'm getting the problem.
[G4 General] Sfkn2:
Oh wait, is it because you're using wifi calling on TMO network? If that's what's causing your phone to ping locations, then yeah, I haven't found a way around that either besides setting locations to only locate via wifi networks.
[G4 General] LancerV:
It will always show up as high usage unless you turn off location all together

View attachment 3345069
[G4 General] Swizzle82:
That's what I've neen having to do. Android system is my largest amount of battery use. I've tried turning off my places, wifi-calling, everything. I deleted a bunch of apps too that could of slightly effected it. My gps icon will just start showing up out of nowhere and stay on til I toggle location off. It will do it even with myplaces turned off which is what I thought it was initially.
[G4 General] didi_ghost:
My current second cicle: Yesterday with the same usage as today i had 1hour 13mins and 75% of battery left, and today i have 1hour 30mins and 86% . The battery really improves over charging cicles if you do it good ones.
[G4 General] stl-soldier:
I did answer that. That's why I said that I don't use Smart Settings, My Places, or NFC. Those appear to be used by Android System. Apparently one or all of those use the most battery since I use just about everything else listed under Android System regularly.

[G4 General] stl-soldier:
One of the reasons I chose the G4 over the S6 is because UX 4.0 seems very close to AOSP compared to TouchWiz, and I think we have a much better chance of getting Xposed working on the G4. That means we might be able to get rid of things like the NFC icon without necessarily flashing a custom ROM that has it disabled.
[G4 General] LancerV:
Xposed is working with TouchWiz Android L now
[G4 General] stl-soldier:
Do you have location set to high accuracy? If so, it will occasionally check your location and send it to Google, even if no apps are using it. That's why I use GPS only. Still very accurate, and is only used when an app I installed requests my location. I also don't really care for Google to be tracking my location all day every day. Just seems a little too big brotherish and unnecessary.
[G4 General] rsbenedict:
That would be great, unfortunately, rooting for me is almost impossible as I work on a Mac, and finding a rooting tool that works on a Mac has been difficult in the past. I haven't rooted my phone since Galaxy S II way back when. Sometimes there is a version for Mac, but it doesn't work with my carrier's version of the phone. UGH. Oh, well!
[G4 General] stl-soldier:
Well then the joke's on me. I figured it was a matter of time, but didn't think it was working properly yet. I had an S6 for 10 days, and liked it for a stock phone with root only, but hated T-Mobile, so I returned it and went back to AT&T. I was going to get an S6 on AT&T, but got this G4 cheap from a guy who got it free from the LG trial and needed cash fast. I also didn't want to worry about tripping Knox. The battery on the S6 wasn't too bad (~5 hrs screen time), but less than my S4, and a lot less than this G4.

So when my gps icon came on again out the blue and stayed on I went to locations and clicked on myplaces. It sent me to the app info screen and I force stopped..nothing. So I did the same with Tmo app and boom it disappeared, then immediately came back on and kept doing so as long as I force stopped the app. I finally turned off location all together. This was even on gps sensors only.

How do you get 35 hours on one load? Do you shut down WiFi and or data when not using?

When I get home after work the battery is remains at 10%. But this is including two times 40 minutes using Waze.. And GPS and the screen on just drains the battery.. Think it does 1% per 2 minutes.. Which is.. Kinda absurd?
[G4 General] Allesa:
This is getting weirder and weirder. The battery discrepancy of SOT between good and bad varies by so much! Whatever I did, i couldnt go pass 6 hrs SOT (that includes turning off location, nfc and mobile data, no gaming at all, and staying only on wifi during the whole cycle). I even tried with single sim mode (mine is 818P dualsim).

How people are getting 7-8 hours are beyond me.
[G4 General] nirel.didi:

i can play with him 5 hours without charging!
[G4 General] paulie72:
I think the dual sim perhaps uses more batterij power due to being dual sim.
