Does the second screen take a toll on the battery if you keep it on all the time? Are there major differences turning it off and keeping it on all the time?
[LG V10 General] yoniinfante:
LG said it will consume around 5% which is pretty good, also, if you turn your phone screen down, the light sensor will turn off the second screen, same thing when the phone is on your pocket, purse, eetc etc, how it helps :)

My idle battery life is awesome. It barely moves when I'm at work and only pulling it from my pocket every so often to check texts. (or the forum!)

You guys seem to be missing a huge variable here and post your battery life "first day in my hands" or "this is the second full charge"

.. You do realize you have to let the phone adjust? You're downloading all your apps back, resyncing your Google accounts... Your phones got a lot going on and it's getting use to all of the apps on the device. I guarantee in a week your battery life will be different. Not saying better or worse, but different.

Give it some time.

Terrible idle life

I've had my V10 since launch day on Tmo and I have had nothing but terrible battery life. I turned off almost all sync for google and I sync nothing else. I even uninstalled more than half of the applications that was pulled from my profile. I disabled the secondary screen for awake and sleep, never use wifi, bluetooth and keep location to low power mode.

Despite all of this the phone will drop from 100% charge to 82% without use in 7 hours (overnight when I sleep). I have looked through the battery stats and I will have maybe 2.5 hours of screen on time and I am at 25% and the next highest thing on the list is Android OS at 12% CPU use and 30m for CPU total.

When I use the phone during lunch breaks I will play music (no headphones since in an area alone) and a little text/hangout chats, I will drop a good 15% in an hour. But again, top use is Screen. Brightness is between 18%-45%. Never higher since I don't use auto.

Is it possible that even though battery stats say Good when checked via dialer that this could just be a bad battery?

Should I try a factory reset? Buy a new battery?
[LG V10 General] yoniinfante:
Do a factory reset bro, it will improve, i had the same issue, but i rooted mine which makes the phone factory reset, now the battery last all day almost 5hrs SOT, right now the phone has been unplugged 3 hours and still on 100%, hope it helps :)
[LG V10 General] Warrior1975:
I wouldn't buy a new battery. You are rooted correct? Has it been this bad since you purchased the phone, or is this something that happened recently? If recent, it has to be an app. If since the first day, might be a phone issue. Is try a factory reset, especially if you are rooted. You can easily restore your settings and info.

If you aren't rooted, you can use lg's backup. If that doesn't work, perhaps reset, without restoring and see how your battery life is. If it's still poor, I'd go to tmobile and find out about a replacement.

[LG V10 General] yoniinfante:
yeah after you perform the factory reset, charge your phone to 100% and reboot it, leave it plugged for another 5min, then unplug it, let it run til 5% then charge it to 100 again, repeat the process, and report back :)

It could be a rogue app causing the issue too.
[LG V10 General] One Twelve:
Normal on the g4 with 60%-70% brightness is 3-4h on data and 4-5h on wifi with moderate to heavy use giving a standby of around 12-14h. The standby duration is more important than sot. If standby drops to 8-10h, people get jumpy regardless of sot.

Lower the brightness and you get closer to the higher second figure and could even cross it. Somebody says they got an sot that falls in that range , it isn't good, it's just normal. because you now have a framework to gauge battery life. Without it you have nfi what battery life is like or to be expected. These threads are only useful once you know that.

Somebody rooted, rom'd and xposed up the wazoo posts figures that are slightly better than the above it does not impress. Because why go through the hassle when stock & greenify can get you into the 5-6h sot range with careful use aka light to moderate use.

Cant even reach those figures then something is up. your usage might be out of what this device was spec'd for or you have rogue apps or persistent wake locks. No point taking any sot figures seriously until there have been in excess of six charge cycles. Takes that long to condition the batteries.

Start exceeding those figures and you are doing good. But doing what exactly. heavy use or lighter use. Does lighter use and a longer sot mean much if you're a heavy user or cannot work with a screen that less than 80% bright.

So the question is what is normal on the v10 ?

v10 is underclocked, can't even reach 40k on antutu. Why that is the case i don't know. But the g4 will get close to 50k.

So for a similar size battery and a larger screen but underclocked i'm expecting similar life to the G4. Possibly better but not by much.
[LG V10 General] planetbeen:
These are my results from yesterday. I messed up my screen shots but good enough to show I had some decent battery life.

That was a "normal" non work day for me. Not heavy use but moderate for me. We'll see how today goes.

*btw* it was 15hr 29min on battery. Didn't show in my stupid messed up screen shot.

[LG V10 General] mikeyinid:
Not sure what kind of battery life people expect from a device that has a screen that's always on. The second screen causes a wake lock and doesn't allow the device to deep sleep. 3-4 hours sot over 15 hour day is acceptable. I turned off the second screen altogether as I didn't find it very useful and my battery life has been pretty good.
[LG V10 General] Zugshad:
So I'm on my 2nd or 3rd cycle and pretty consistent.

This one shows 50k so thats the same as G4.

Quite a bit of variation there.

But if this is how the V10 performs today, then i expect less battery life than the G4, an extra gig of ram to light up and a bigger screen. Same cpu and same battery.

[LG V10 General] wollivierre:
lol first day i used it at worked it drained 60% the batery in five hours while in my pocket, i was so horrified comming from a note 4 i'm use to 80% batter when i leave work not 20. But played with it for a while got ride of all the tmobile crap the next daywas at work 3 hours and was thinking i would pull it out and it be at 70% or 60% and boom still at 100% left work 4 hours after that and i used it a bunch with 86% batter life still.

today was even beet i rooted last night and pull every thing that said tmobile out and spent 5 hour listening to music on bluetooh went to a picknick where it was playing music for 3 more hours, took bunch of pucters after and two hours on a call later at 7:49 and its at 19% and it was unpluged at 5:18 this morning. right now this is the best battery life for any of my phone from the note 1,2,3,4 and the Galaxy s5 that all ran roms for speed and batter life.

heres my tip if you have batter problems, on turn off the tmobile apps they keep the secound screen on in your pocket and when the phone is fast down.

two get greenify and check all the apps that arent system apps like keyboard and such.

..

side note once i rooted it the first app to ask for root permission was one of the tmobile apps. i granted it at first but noticed it was asking for root about every 40 seconds and when i denied it root i just kept seeing that little popup of superuser telling me it was denied root make you wonder whet there apps are doing every minute that needs root. think about that and then you will get why my battery isn't dieing fast
[LG V10 General] Zugshad:
In the rooting thread they posted the 2 things to delete/freeze to stop that constant request. They say that those are sending the info to tmo that your rooted. But that just what they were saying. Once I froze them it stoped .

But yes battery is awesome and I haven't removed or froze all the Tmo or LG stuff yet. New to tmo and this my first lg. Been a Samsung guy forever. I wish there was a debloat script like there is for the att version. I don't know what is safe to freeze/delete on this yet

But you should disable the tmobile apps most of them are useless just trying to get you to pay for extra services like the caller id if you dont disable it within a week they charge you $5 each moth extra i think and it uses your data like 2mb a day.

[LG V10 General] One Twelve:
Not necessarily, if you have a strong signal then you lose less. if data is on you don't need wifi which means one radio off.

Getting 5hsot or more means running at max 50% brightness or lower.

[LG V10 General] ocelot4ark:
For those of you that did factory reset and saw battery improvements, how did you manage backup/restore? If I backup my whole phone with LG Backup, then perform a factory reset, then restore everything with LG Backup, is that going to negate the effects of the reset? Basically, would the restore function just re-trigger whatever was harming the battery in the first place? I don't mind resetting, I just don't want to re-do downloading apps all over again and LG's restore worked really well.

I took the hit and had to re-build from scratch. Loading up data through LG Restore could potentially put the issue back in place.

I felt as if my battery was responsive to when it was idle and when it wasn't. Not super impressed, however this device is new to me and things are not settled. Preliminary numbers just reporting what I've gotten. I run my phone with Auto brightness on.

True, question is whether you're going to have to do that when the next firmware update comes out or is this a one off thing.

greenify is all you should need. Manage with a screen brightness of 50% or lower.

use video heavily and you will kill the battery in a couple of hours, use the stills camera heavily and it goes up to 8 hrs with 2-3hSOT. there's no getting around that. This is what the spare battery is for.

otherwise I've seen very little evidence with the G4 that rooting signficantly improves battey life over a non-rooted, well managed, healthy stock device.

5h sot with 50% manual brightness (important as auto is not as efficient) is normal with light to moderate use.

I have to say, I'm going to hard reset and try today. Something is not calculating right in my battery settings.

[LG V10 General] planetbeen:
One thing I noticed and I think has been mentioned by others is that when on auto brightness it can be pretty aggressive if you are in bright light. The one day I was out of town and outside taking pictures all day I noticed my battery didn't last as long and with as much screen on time as the day before when I had used the phone for many hours but mostly in the car and later in the day and night time.

In the evening in the car the auto brightness had itself at 0% but outside in daylight it was at 90+ most of the time. It wasn't really necessary except when framing or taking a picture. (it was really nice to be able to see my screen though!)

I don't think my note 2 would have had itself so bright for as long as the v10 did.

I think it would definitely make a big difference in battery life depending on where the phone was used for those hours and what brightness it was set at.

I'm used to always being on auto brightness but having to turn it off and go to 100% as necessary.

With this phone it does the 100% for me which is nice because I can see but not so nice if I'm trying not to "waste" battery.

The end result is that I'll be more careful in full sunlight to set the brightness lower myself and turn it up if I need it rather than let the auto brightness ramp it up too high.

Of course when my extra battery arrives all bets are off! And when I get my hands on a zerolemon.... Party time!
