Looks like it's already sold out, I managed to get my order in but now it says currently unavailable.

Can't wait for the battery pack to arrive (supposed to be here next week) so I can finally use the phone without using quick charge during the day. Further I won't have to adjust the screen brightness throughout the day to make the battery last.
[LG V10 General] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
I assume you missed out on the second battery...

I've got a 10,000 mAh Anker external battery charger, and the second battery and charger. If I wanted to use all 10,000 mAh I could probably go a week or more without using wall outlet...

I love the ability to just power through the first battery and swap the second let it charge in my backpack or my car and all's good.. I have never worried less about battery life with a phone. It's amazing. My battery life is probably still around 4hrs SoT, an improvement on my G3, but I use those 4 hours in 6 hours or so lol

Still a Great Piece of Kit

Hello all, been quite some time since last I visited this thread. I still like this phone. And the battery performance. Big screen, second screen, dac, tough as leather balls military rating, futuristic alien camera. All things I love and wanted in a phone.

My note 3 left me feeling bitter when I sold it to get the V10. It was still a beast of a phone with great battery. I needed a better camera for work(Yes, I use my phone camera for work and life. I own no other), and Bigger storage. All of those extras in the V10 were well received. I COULD have kept the note a few more years. Had it almost 2 years! I think the V10 may double that!!!
[LG V10 General] Jurisprudence:
Wow thats some seriously good SOT for a V10. Can I ask your usage conditions and normal screen brightness. Cheers.
[LG V10 General] vargala81:
I've used only Chrome, Telegram chat and I looked at two o'clock movie. WIFI was on all the time. GPS, mobile data, bluetooth and NFC were excluded. Automatic screen brightness by this time I was eight hours out.
[LG V10 General] whiplasher:
Wi fi, mobile data, gmail, weather, lot of viber, whatsup, chrome browsing, some call and sms, 30 photos, music and youtube. Auto brightness.
[LG V10 General] vargala81:
7:16 Hours SOT

Only WIFI. Chrome, Telegram, Facebook and Music

i have the phone by around 2 weeks and this is the best i have so far!

Of course with use of some mod's: Kernel Adiutor / Xposed with Amplify / msm8992 mods
[LG V10 General] rascal0pl:
Impossible. Seriously, I never got even over a 5 hours screen on (usually 4.5). Even if I had wifi and mobile data turned off.
[LG V10 General] sun_is_shinning:
sure you dont, if you dont root the phone, get ride of some apps with came in system and arent needed...use kernel adiutor to limit cpu's frequency and disable at least 2 cores...thats why i have more than 6+ on-screen time!

dont belive in miracles, belive in work! ;)
[LG V10 General] rascal0pl:
Well, limiting CPU power is not a solution for me. It's like buying 8 core CPU for PC and disabling 7 cores in BIOS.
[LG V10 General] sun_is_shinning:
not that whay...i dont say to disable all cores...only 1 or 2.

its a hexa core, if you disable 2 of them you get a quad core and for this phone is enough to run smooth.

i know what you mean with that but i dont belive you need all full power of the phone everytime, to make calls, use whatsapp and that kind of social apps 4 core is better to save you battery!

lets say you dont run heavy games, then you dont need 6 core to run at same time, even the phone have them you dont need them! i brought my V10 not for perfomance but for some of key features like camera, audio DAC, screen and so on and not because i have a SD808...if i want a phone with better or more performance i will go for SD810 or SD820 (i already have one SD810 device after my V10 and is a power hungry, even with only 1080p screen! but really not so much like V10, 2k screen is even more hungry display).

so, what you want to do to your device to get better battery life if you dont want to mess with some of the things than you can know will save power?! really! you complain about dont have more than 3+ hours of screen time and then dont be able to sacrifice something to get more...so, dont complain! PERIOD!
[LG V10 General] chetta:
Hi All,

I've browsed through this thread along with others relating to batteries. Looking for some opinions here.

I'm loving my V10 that I got about 3 weeks ago except for the battery.

With my heavy usage and amount of apps - I am seeking other solutions besides the typical "remove apps" theory.

I previously had the ZeroLemon battery on 2 phones but I can't afford another one at this time.

I looked into the PowerBear (extended) and see skeptical reviews on Amazon and XDA.

I've also looked into spare batteries and chargers - I've never done one of these so I'm skeptical....

I also seen the app Kernel Auditor - I'm going to check this out.

I'd appreciate any recommendations from fellow v10 users. Extended/spare battery recommendation less than $35-40?

Thanks!

-Chetta
[LG V10 General] only-one:
I've noticed the past few days the battery isn't as good, don't get me wrong I get a good day out of it, usually 1 1/2-2 days on a charge (I don't use my phone super heavy can you tell ;)). I have a bunch on the pre-installed apps disabled (like Amazon, NFL, etc). Yesterday I woke up to 93% and went to bed with over 60% lost (unusual for my usage). The only thing I can think of is I turned on daydream but turned it off the next day. My phone did have the Verizon update last week which I didn't notice any changes until the daydream change. Anything I should look for?

I'm kinda jealous of y'all getting over 4 hrs of SOT. I usually get around 2.5 hrs on my best charge cycle. My biggest sucker is phone idle
[LG V10 General] zjelko:
Have my V10 just a week , not a heavy user and get around 5.5 hours SOT. I don't play games only listen to music while I am browsing.

To be honest I think it's not so bad and better then I expected. I have the Korean version with dual sim option, don't know if there are major differences between V10's
[LG V10 General] evo4g63t:
The powerbear battery works better than the zerolemon battery in my opinion; I had a hard time getting the ZeroLemon to read correctly it'd drain all the way down relatively fast then I would have to tore off the phone pull the battery put it back in to get the remaining battery level.

PowerBear requires a charge and a complete drain too be accurate as well but the gauge is much more accurate. Further the battery adds sufficient life while not being nearly add bulky or heavy as the ZeroLemon.

If you don't mind switching batteries a spare with external battery charger works well too.

If lg would develop a amoled screen there would be a major improvement in battery life, hands down the screen is the biggest offender on this phone and is likely why Samsung phones have superior battery life.

You can get substantial better battery life by reducing the screen to about 30 percent instead of auto.
[LG V10 General] junyamada:
I'm a little late on this boat and I believe I'm one of the unlucky owners that are not getting the performance as you guys are getting out of the box (the reason why I had to root the phone).

One thing I noted is that this phone have a lot of different models which I think is also a factor with regards to how it performs (aside from rootability/unlockability per model).

Anyhow, I just got my phone a week ago.

Model: plain H960

Android version: rooted v10c

Modification done: amplify, greenify, temp throttle mod, disabled fast dormancy, xposed, disabled two little cores.

Apps installed: facebook/messenger (frozen), tapatalk, a few games, UC browser, skype, kakaotalk, viber, outlook and inbox.

Current config: below 30% screen brightness, data on 3G, wifi off, location off, nfc off, bluetooth off. Pretty much minimal.

Performance: I'm getting at most, 3 hrs sot in a day. If I turn off the mobile data or wifi, I guess I can extend that to more than 3 hours. But overall, it's been sad.

I've read that the stock battery can also be a culprit (30% less performance as noted by others). Willtry to buy a new one to test that as well.

If you guys would be kind to answer my questions.

1. Any H960 (not H960A) user that has a different experience? How's your phone going?

2. Another thing I noticed is that the upper back portion can really get hot, but I was able to lower that when I made adjustments over the cores. Should I try returning the phone for repairs?

3. I still haven't tried doing a factory reset on my setup now (rooted via v10c version - flashed via LGUP using the erase everything option) - should I still do a master reset?

4. How's the battery drain for you guys when using wifi or data? One thing that's been obvious for me is when I'm using data or wifi, I loose 1% for every 1-3 minutes (even just plain browsing). If I turn it off, the battery isn't consumed alot. I don't remember that kind of difference when I'm using my moto x 2014.

5. Do network bands matter when it comes to the battery?

I really would like to keep this phone for my daily usage. Therefore, your answers would really help.

Thank you so much guys!
[LG V10 General] zohaib anwar:
So guys, I updated my at&t LG V10 to latest update via LGUP from H90020j to H90020w. The performance of phonr has vastly increased. Also I am getting better screen on time. The only issue is that when the phone is not in use, there quite a lot of battery drain in the background.

When I check thr battery stats, it shows phone idle with some battery power used. Second would be Android OS keep awake for more 40-50 minutes, then Android system for more 20 -30 minutes amd finally Google Play Services. The remaining apps don't drain much.

How can I stop thos standby drain? Because it's very important for everyone's device to atleast hold some charge overnight for their alarms to turn on in the morning. It's been 2 week since I got this phone and I have suffered from such situations thrice.

Even during the day when WiFi is turned on, there is a huge drain when idling. Turning off WiFi does help a bit but it still drains considerably.

All Google Apps and at&t apps disables, WiFi and Bluetooth scanning off. WiFi turned off at night. During the day WiFi is based on location. Location set to battery saving. Google location hustory off. Second screen always on. At night I switch it off.

Let me what can be done further. My main concern is standby drain and Android OS and system keep awake.

Thanks in advance.

Question regarding upgrading to V10

Hi Guys .

I've read plenty of reviews about the LG V10 and also watched a bunch of video reviews .

I am planning to upgrade from Google Nexus 5 to LG V10 .

Specs wise it is a pretty decent performer but i still have much concerns about the battery life of this phone .

I'm very much tired of the battery life on my Nexus 5 .With moderate usage i couldn't get past 3 hours of SOT.

please just help .

Should i upgrade to LG V10 .

Some of the people report very exxceptional batery life on the LG V10 showing 5-6 hours of on screen times while the other say it has a horrible battery life .

Kindly help me in whether i should upgrade or not .

Thanks in advance

Regards : Muhammad Ali Kazmi :o
[LG V10 General] deutsh:
Sure not, believe me, it's consumption of power huge
[LG V10 General] nexmine:
Nexus is a valid device and it's easy to change the internal battery with a little patient... Then your phone Will be new and may be with android 8 in the future...

Lg V 10 is different from Nexus but it's valid phone too and despite the elevate consumption for the hard usage naturally :p, you can buy a second battery and the problem is resolved.

Good luck.
[LG V10 General] muhammadalikazmi:
Thank you so much :D
[LG V10 General] moSess:
I have not experienced this, luckily. I will keep Bluetooth on and observe. I'll get back to you with the results
[LG V10 General] bkeaver:
I've noticed if I don't use WiFi I get better battery. I pulled my phone off the charger at 5:10am and its now 7:27am and I am at 94% with 35 min of SOT and 46 Min streaming Bluetooth in my car.
[LG V10 General] ekerbuddyeker:
Not for me. It just improved after 3 or 4 charge cycles
[LG V10 General] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
I'm sort of ritualistic when it comes to conditioning a new phone/battery. I get it out the box with the 50-70% charge, start restoring things after letting it sit on for a few minutes. Run that thing down to 5% and charge it up to 100%. After that normal use but I don't like charging it immediately. Can't wait to get mine hopefully tomorrow.

[LG V10 General] jay8302:
I love my battery life
[LG V10 General] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
I don't know what your device usage is... But battery life is one of the most subjective topics you can discuss. And there's a thread in every phone's sub forum here on XDA..

Everyone uses their phones differently, and to say that what one person experiences should be what another does is juvenile.

And to say that one person experiences the same usage out of their phones every day is also mathematically wrong...

For instance I am always going, 7 days a week, no days off between work and school... But even though I have two consistent 8 hour days of class, those days bring different phone usage as does every work day. We can try and describe what we do on our phones but truth is the best way to figure it out is to set your phone up, let it settle, and use it. Only time will really tell what kind of battery life we can expect out of our devices.

However with fast charge SoT doesn't necessarily make the list as a pro or con... It's a large, very brilliant screen. To see that we are able to get anywhere north of 4 hours is to me amazing.. But the fact that we can go from 25%-75% in a half hour mean's it's not a huge deal as it once was.

If you add to it that if you buy this phone through a carrier in the US LG is giving you an extra 3,000 mAh battery and external battery charging cradle - as well as a 200gb sd card - then although the battery life should be good, it doesn't necessarily have to be.

I guess what I am saying is to each their own when it comes to your experience with battery life. Some people will leave their screen on with no data connection and WiFi only for 7 hours, take a screenshot, and say, "Look what I got!"

Cheers

Hit a whole bunch of stuff tright on the head. Anomalies are what I look for, anything else is subject to so many variables it is unrealistic to compare. Hence, my help with the Gent below

Ya, Bluetooth on all day. In and out of the car from approximately 930to530. Commuting between teaching sites. No anomalous issue
[LG V10 General] masondoctorjt:
Only on second cycle. I didn't think it's too bad.
[LG V10 General] alhadee12:
This is my second cycle.
[LG V10 General] psycho1:
So the other day I had 5 plus sot. Phone was out of my pocket for most of the day. So 2nd screen was on. About the same usage today and only about 2.5 hours sot. Only difference is my phone has been in my pocket when I'm not using it. So I'm thinking that sot is also calculating the 2nd screen on time with the first. Still think it's pretty good from 3000 mah. Just think sot might be a little disceaving . opinions?
[LG V10 General] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
I don't have the device yet. In fact I was just checking and apparently won't have it until weeks end, so this is an outside perspective here...

I don't see a reason for LG to include the second screen in SoT values. It isn't supposed to waste much battery, and it wouldn't make sense to me for that screen to be included either.. To me it's not the screen. If that makes sense. I would be shocked if the second screen was included in that value.
[LG V10 General] moSess:
Interesting.... Will test this anomaly!

Ya. It would be quite weird. I will see
[LG V10 General] jdiddy_ub:
got the phone last night..battery life during use seems to be decent enough...the battery drain overnight was pretty bad though....lost about 10% in 6-7 hours

Battery Issue with Mediaserver

I am having big issues with the mediaserver usage on my battery. I get mediaserver usage at 58% and Spotify at 14% and that is after 2.5 hours after a full charge. So now my batter has 65% juice left. Anyone deal with this?
[LG V10 General] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
You've got to give the device time to settle down... You just put your phone to something you can use, installing apps backing up data starting sync. Just relax let it run through a few charge cycles while you put the finishing touches on it

Matt
[LG V10 General] jdiddy_ub:
That's what I'm hoping
[LG V10 General] technillion:
Well mine is much better than my G4 was. Same usage and settings and I have about 20% - 40% MORE battery when I go to sleep!

Brightness - AUTO

Battery Saver - OFF

Game Optimizer - OFF
[LG V10 General] moSess:
More Screenshots

Lots of browsing and watching video. Irregular sleep patterns lately have me up early, around four. First thing I did was grab my phone today.

Best numbers yet
[LG V10 General] Kakuz:
I forgot to take a screen shot, but I bought the phone yesterday, let it drain while it updated and tested everything, then recharge before going to bed. Here is what I got after my first full charge:

During sleep, drainage of ~10% (woke up to 89%)

Usage: 12:30 hrs

SOT: 4:30 hrs

This is with auto-brightness and no battery saving options. I have been installing stuff, downloading/listening to music, and watching videos. Pretty ok so far I'd say.
[LG V10 General] Semantics:
The past two nights I've gone to bed at 100% battery and woken with 96%. My phone sleeps well it seems. I've gotten over 4 hours SoT every day since I've had the phone. Very satisfied.
[LG V10 General] Nitemare3219:
Still having issues with Bluetooth. When it's on, AndroidOS shows as being awake constantly... but its battery drain doesn't match up. Either way, as soon as BT is turned off it goes into deep sleep, otherwise gets stuck on 384MHz. Draining about 20% every 8 hours so not ideal at all. My Galaxy Note 5 had the SAME issue and it popped up out of nowhere after a few weeks of ownership, and never went away. I was hoping this wouldn't be an issue on the V10 but it is! I don't have any crazy apps... how can I figure this out?
[LG V10 General] Lewzephyr:
I had a strange issue last night.

Phone was between 40 - 50%.

Running Nova Launcher I was uninstalling an app, via the app icon on the desktop, and my screen went blank.

I thought I may have double tapped to close or what have you. Phone was off. all the way off.

I attempted to power it on, and it said there was not enough battery to power on.

I put it on the charger, which shows the charging screen and it said the battery had 50% left.

I powered the phone up while on charger and all was fine.

Weird is all I can say.
[LG V10 General] moSess:
You have a crazy app.

Now, I'm only making this inference because you stated that it happened with your last device. Process of elimination, my friend. Anomalous issues are just that, anomalies.

That is.
[LG V10 General] Lewzephyr:
Well to add to the weirdness.

Got to work this morning... using my in car charger while using waze. Was at 64% (this was after having it on my charger all night).

It stayed at 64% the whole way (45 min).

So I put it on a USB cable from my PC to charge. Stayed at 64% and would never say how much longer till charge complete.

I pulled out the LG charger that came with the phone, and it showed fast charging, but was taking some time to say how long it will take.

I focused on work for a bit, looked at phone again and it said it was at 65% and would take 9+ hours to fully charge.

WTF.

Aright... Im a PC guy. Shut down the phone, remove battery, put it back and put it on charger. (phone off still).

Said battery was fully charged at 100%.

Rebooted phone.. Battery at 100%.

weird as hell. All I can figure is something buggered up from last nights reboot.
[LG V10 General] knifedroid:
I find the battery life to be below average. I had a note 5 for a couple of weeks, and it stomped this phone as far as battery.

I'd be unhappy if the free battery and charger wasn't incoming.
[LG V10 General] jedthehumanoid:
I wonder if your battary is defective, thus causing the phone to misread how much power is left. Or maybe the phones contacts are bad? It sounds like you may want to bring it back for a replacement.:rolleyes:
[LG V10 General] porscheoscar:
^ I had a very similar issue with a Caseology battery on my Note 3. One minute battery life was 15%, reboot it says 100%. Little while later it says 15%. etc. Put in a different battery, says 100%, no issues. I stopped using that weird battery.
[LG V10 General] Nitemare3219:
Better since I factory reset and rooted, also using Greenify for a few apps. I think the problem was me selecting "No" for message access in my car, but not ticking the box for "Always allow this device" - makes no sense but until I clicked it like this, it would pop up with the request every time I got in the car.

Still a bit of a wakelock. This was from the time I parked my car at work and left work (phone sits in car). I had nothing running in the background, but something kept the phone wake for an hour. Don't understand because only like 3 MB of data was sent/received this whole time, and it's showing kernel level. Maybe the Qualcomm "low-power" location service being enabled? Any ideas?
[LG V10 General] AndroidCraig:
My first day stats. I got the phone last night. charged it fully overnight with the LG rapid charger. Took it off charge this morning when I left for work. ran it as usual, some surfing, Reddit, FB etc... som music from the SD card and some streaming. got down to about 15% after nearly 8 hours. I was really hoping for better battery life. One think that I think kills mine in I have to use a Adguard for adblocking since I'm on VZW and there's no root for me. Otherwise I'd use Adaway and not have this issue. But I really ... really ... really hate advertising.
[LG V10 General] xT29c:
I have the same issue. Adguard uses the most on my phone in terms of battery. It's. Not bad, but it does seem to use a lot.
[LG V10 General] knifedroid:
I just took an Adguard update today. Patchnotes said it fixed a critical wakelock issue. Maybe that will help.
[LG V10 General] porscheoscar:
Doesn't the FB app eat up a lot of battery? I only use that on my desktop. No good can come of FB.

Battery life is the only thing keeping me on the fence.... I have VZ unlimited data and regularly go through 25-35 GB's per month. This doubles as my workphone although I also have a work blackberry. If battery life sucks, I'll need to start carrying the blackberry again because our work app sucks down lots of juice from constantly logging in and out.
[LG V10 General] GiSS88:
No pictures, but I'm thinking I'll have to root and delete some things to get decent battery here. Going to give it a full week to see if the battery settles better. Good thing I put in for that spare and Micro SD promotion.
[LG V10 General] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
Order it in time you'll get the extra battery and external battery charging cradle, which would help heaps I assume.
