And then I loaded all my apps and set them up. Now it's not going into doze so it's even worse. I'll be trying the previous fixes so at least it will doze again. But honestly I'd get rid of this phone now if I could even though using marshmallow is actually really nice. SOT 90 mins. If I could get 14 hours total, with 3 hours screen on I'd be more than happy. And it's really frustrating because after one hard reset it did actually work well for a day.
[G4 General] milan187:
LG probably rushed to push the M update.
[G4 General] brunobski:
Hi,

With 5.1 always have 3h30 of SOT. Now with Lolipop i only have 2h of SOT.

I do an hard reset and nothing changed.

What can i do more to improve it? It seems something not working quite well.

Regards,

Bruno.
[G4 General] ciprigeorgiu:
I see a lot of people complaining about battery life. I am not here to tell you that I have 6-7 hours of SOT because I don't use my phone to read xda all day and get unreallistic battery life but I do get 3:30 or 4 hours screen on time in 2 days of usage with 1:30 talk time. I use my phone for browsing, youtube, facebook, messaging, waze etc. I didn't disable anything and I'm completelly stock. I don't know why you are getting only 2h SOT but the phone's battery life is not that bad imo.
[G4 General] shamez23:
I had very similar battery life. 2 days with my normal usage. From one day to the next that has changed. I still get through one day but the battery is down to about 20 percent when I go to bed. The logd process eats up quite a bit of my battery but there seems to be no way to get rid of that service without rooting the phone and I don't want to do that.

After I updated from 20a to 20d things went back to normal but only for a day or two.

1 day of battery life with light use is somewhat pathetic for a phone with a 3000mAh battery.
[G4 General] AndreiMel:
Hello. I'm adding some screenshot regardin my battery life. Went to lg to change the baterry but they say the battery is not required to be changed. What do you think?
[G4 General] htr5:
Seems right. You have a lot of usage from other apps. I don't know what you do with your phone but, for example, somebody could be streaming high quality spotify with viperFX running while seeding a torrent on 4G. In that case, you'd only get 1.5 hours screen on time.

You need to access your own usage and background apps and whether your phones is sleeping properly.

Look into getting BetterBatteryStats and Wakelock Detector apps from the play store.

LG G4 h818p keep drain battery even the phone power turned off

Hi everyone,

My LG G4 h818p drain battery even the phone power is turned off. It's on MM. When it is fully charged, I turned power off. After 8 hours, I turned it on and it was only 70% battery indicator. First I thought the battery broke, I bought the new one, and it still the same. Has anyone have the same problem like this?

Is this problem only happened in MM or also happened in LL. Does anyone know what is the problem?
[G4 General] robertbr108:
To say that the phone drains battery when idle is mistaken in my opinion. There are apps causing the drain. I used to have the same phone with my wife, note 4, my phone was 50% at lunch time, hers was more than 50 in the evening. Now I use 818p. I installed LinkedIn, the battery started to drain 10% evey night. I removed it, only 1% drain. Stitcher 30% drain... The real issue is that we cannot see in the battery usage screen which app is keeping the phone awake. This is really bad because I have to test each up and sometimes it is difficult to know because updates for other apps are installed also and if there is a change in the battery life is hard to know what caused it...
[G4 General] doiutzu:
These are my battery stats. I

managed to drop from 4%/h idle to 1.5/h . Last night it was like 0.2/h. I had data turned off.

So now I'm happy with this phone[emoji6]

In a very very very good day I get 4hours SOT.

Usually 2 hours :(

[For me that's really bad]
[G4 General] javedabbasi:
I am on Imperium v 2.0. Data wifi gps always on. Brightness on auto. No bat saver used. No gaming and few phone calls but lot of web browsing. Watching few videos and book reading. Little usage of camera. I am satisfied with the battery life.
[G4 General] ngyurov:
I just bought a g4, it came with Android 6.0 pre-installed and the battery life is making me cry. I left home today, battery at 95%, came back home, 12 hours later, it's at 9%. I've got 1.30 hours of SOT time.

Is this all I'm going to get from this device? Please tell me, so I can work with the store and order a different model, if my current one isn't faulty and the g4 battery is really that bad.
[G4 General] stefan.kurz:

[G4 General] Riardon:
This phone has some serious problems with its software. The phone rarely goes into sleep and doze rarely kicks in. No matter the settings (location off, radios off, few apps installed etc) it always drains like crazy. I got the H815 with V20D.

I have no other complains about this phone except from the horrible battery issue and the silly DPI. (hate huge things on my screen). I hope they will fix it. If they do not I will seriously consider unlocking it and install some custom rom. 1 1/2 - 2 hours of SoT is ridiculous.
[G4 General] ngyurov:
It's H815, running MM, v20d. I'm barely getting more than 1.5 hours of screen on time per full charge.
[G4 General] tim.malone:
I was noticing that it didn't seem to go into sleep too. It was also keeping the GPS active for much of the day. I tried disabling everything I didn't use from within the app manager, but it didn't seem to help. Then, I used "debloater" to disable a few things. The one that seemed to help the most was LADDM.apk, which is apparently CarrierIQ. I have no way of confirming this, but my guess is that it was requesting location information a lot. I disabled some other stuff as well, mostly AT&T bloat that I wasn't using. Things have settled down now and my phone doesn't drain nearly as fast when the screen is off. It was still better on Lollipop, but at least it isn't horrible now. I mean, I went from 4-5 hours of SOT in a day to less than 2 when I upgraded to Marshmallow. I can now get close to 4 if I'm careful.
[G4 General] ngyurov:
Is there a way to roll back to Android 5.1, without having to flash the device? Phone came with 6.0 out of the box.
[G4 General] nostromo76:
I would like to share my experience on this matter, hopping it will help others.

I have a H815 TWN variant, running MM 6.0 v20f stock, locked bootloader.

I have 3.5 to 4 hours SOT in average. I do avoid switching to LTE (4G), only GSM (2G) + WiFi + Localization (network-only).

Besides LTE, SCREEN is another battery drainer, so avoid using at high brightness (mine is always at 25%-35%).

I also use Greenify + Donation package, with "aggresive-doze". It works like a charm, never drops a % while screen off.
[G4 General] neobdium:
After testing MM version 20A , 20B, 20C, 20D, 20F and 20G the best was 20F but like all MM my phone gets to hot sometimes and after some time is slow somehow.. and always i return back to LL (Root without unlocked bootloader, no problems in root explorer moving files, added adblock host file in etc folder, some build prop tweaks, app Ops very useful and better then MM, no stupid prompt connecting usb to pc or apps asking for permissions when you're in hurry, and much more). Now i`m on LL v10K and here is my battery info:

Battery life - H815 V20f

I got lg g4 h815 europe version. It came with v10c lollipop . I manually updated it to marshmallow v20a, v20b, v20d, v20e and now v20f.

Battery life was terrible on v20a, v20b, v20d, v20e but on v20f i get great stable battery life; 4 hours of screen on time with heavy usage except playing games.

Give it a try guys. It is the best so far.

I dont lose any battery juice when the phone is on standby. If the phone is on 80% it will be 80% even after 10 hours
[G4 General] milpan:
I'm getting about 5 hours SOT on v20g imperium rom. Haven't greenified yet either. Gonna do that tonight and see what we get.
[G4 General] neobdium:
just use LG UP flash the kdz file then for root use adb to integrate root (the pre rooted img file)

here is v10K https://mega.nz/#F!RdpmVTYQ!50K8H6R304TBm9Kd3FvQQg
[G4 General] besotsima:
can you link the update file?
[G4 General] ngyurov:
I got a battery replacement from the store and with the new battery my SOT is 3.5-4 hours, which I find acceptable, as phone lasts during an entire day of heavy usage (2+ hrs of phone calls daily) and still has about 35% left. My phone came out of the box with v20d, I haven't made any changes, not even root and I'm not using greenify or similar apps.

[G4 General] danmit:
I own a H818p and recently upgraded to 20e.

Up to now I'm really enjoying it, smooth and a few bugs from the official release from Brazil are gone.

Since I wasn't using root for anything besides ad blocking it really worth the upgrade for me.

I'll see how the SOT goes in the next days

[G4 General] gtsetsen:
I have some trouble with drain, both idle and screen on.

I'm running Imperium ROM v11 with the default kernel (v5.2) and xposed installed.

Google services are up to date to latest from Play Store.

Location is on, Sync is on, 4G on.

I haven't disabled any services, wakelocks or alarms, I only disabled Google Location history - a known wakelock cause.

Phone idles normally, I don't have any major wakelocks or alarms, both BBS and Wakelock Detector don't report anything unusual

Statistics:

Awake percentage during sleep (EX Kernel Manager data) is about 4,6% (seems normal), Active drain is 16,77% per hour, Idle drain is 1,69% per hour.

How are these values compare to optimal ones?

My usage is moderate, includes browsing, Facebook/Twitter, Spotify, Youtube, no gaming or 3D graphics app.

Has anyone tried any governor profiles for interactive governor?

I stumbled upon ATK here: https://xdaforums.com/sho...postcount=2146

and I will give it a try.

It's for Oneplus3 initially but the author claims it can be applied in every interactive governor in any kernel (with BIG-LITTLE CPUs I guess and same available parameters).

I've already tried some other governor profiles HawkTail, Glassfish (laggy) Heimdall (moderate results) but didn't notice any big difference in drain.
[G4 General] Loulou-13:
Hi !

I have great SOT (and no heat) wirh a simple MM and "simpleGX" kernel :good:

Kernel aduitor parameters :

Ondemand (big and little cores) underclock big cores to 920 mhz (for daily usage it's highly sufficient...and there are others small cores...) + Fiops (read ahead value to 512 )

....and with this great kernel ,westwood for tcp network is fabulous^^
[G4 General] gtsetsen:
Thanks for the tip, I ll try it out!

Do you have any stats from your device about power consumption per time?

Like battery percentage drop per hour during usage and when idle? Or mA?

(I use EX Kernel Manager for this but it's not free)
[G4 General] Loulou-13:
No ,sorry...

Generaly i don't use paid apps.

I just look the SOT on the battery parameters inside de firmware (for now : still have 43 % with 3h58 sot....some sms and all the time using browser in 4g)
[G4 General] gtsetsen:
Things are getting better with this setup indeed!!! :)

I now have almost no consumption in idle!

I guess location and sync would not affect much, I'll enable them again to check.

I want to pinpoint the root cause, it's most possibly the ondemand governor.

btw If you are interested in power consumption metrics you can try 3C power widget (free and very analytic)
[G4 General] daglesj:
Usage on Battery - 47h 26min

[G4 General] aouni_tahech:
Started experimenting with greenify, amplify and appops xposed, and the results seem good till now. 4 hours sot is still good compared to other flag ships, but getting 5 or more hours screen on time isn't harmful as well :)

I don't any compromise in performance etc...

Not all people can get 5 sot out of the box. I believe it depends on cellular coverage and other factors that are not necessarily specific to the device.
[G4 General] daglesj:
Why don't you guys just try it without all that extra battery saver junk installed? You might be surprised. I've never found any of them worth the install time.

Try clearing cache in recovery. Little less extreme than a factory reset.

How are you using xposed on marshmallow when it doesn't work for the LG G4 yet?
[G4 General] ROSALIA:
Excuse my english

Do you speak about

Factory reset using the option "Factory data reset" in setting menu of G4?

Enviado desde mi LG-H815 mediante Tapatalk
[G4 General] One Twelve:
No i'm saying try to clear the system cache and then observe. You have to boot into the recovery menu to do it.

Not factory reset.

This way your data is preserved and it will rebuild cache. Sometimes old cache and new cache can cause conflicts.
[G4 General] myid.m:
how to enter the recovery? i have tried using vol down + power but it bring to the factory reset. im unroot+bloader lock. sory for noob question.
[G4 General] Carl24:
No, it won't avoid warranty.
[G4 General] FULLTIMEIT:
Just want to add my stats in as well after a few days of flashing,best result is 4 hour 52 min screen on time with 11% left. Mostly on wifi and on lte here and there. Almost all Browsing Web, 1 hour of podcast with screen off.

Make sure you do a factory reset upgrading to marshmallow I had really had Google play service drain without wipe, now it's all good
[G4 General] One Twelve:
Oh! it seems its depends on the variant. See

this

The 'clear cache option' should be listed below factory reset. But it seems its not there for non-sprint variants.

Did you do a full factory reset after? Just curious as wether I should bother upgrading or not.
[G4 General] Carl24:
Both upgrade and downgrade were done by LGUP using kdz.
[G4 General] mymeatb18:
That doesn't really matter how it was upgraded. I feel it's always best to do a factory reset whenever there is a major update although in "theory" you shouldn't have to. Better safe than sorry, I can spend the extra hour at the end of the day setting back up my phone.
[G4 General] Koostis:
Not exactly relevant as I've got a question about LP's battery life, but still. I've just moved to a G4 from Xperia Z2, which has a full HD screen rather than quad HD and 200 more mAh, but with the LG G4 I've got 40% of battery left after 12 hours of use with less than 2 hours of SoT, which seems pretty poor. Is this normal? Or does the software take some time to adjust itself?
[G4 General] WEissbr0t:
Maybe...

i've installed it yesterday. But i've bought the G4 3 Days before, so i cant tell / feel any difference. Maybe the Phone needs to "ajust" itself, caused by the new Smart features? I've experienced on many Andoid- Phones, when you using Google Now, it takes some days, until Battery Life gets normal, caused by all these Tracking/Searching- Features of google Now. When G-NOW knows you hood, then the battery life is getting better.

Just wait and see... ;)

[G4 General] kyogiro:
Seems pretty normal to me. Of course, it depends on your usage, but I have a similar battery life. Somewhere around 4 hours of SoT (Web browsing, Tapatalk, Wechat and WhatsApp mainly).
[G4 General] mwatson:
I've had the G4 for a week or so now. I've never managed anything more than 3 hours SOT. I installed MM yesterday and finished up with just 2 hours SOT?! The only reasons I jumped from my M8 to G4 is for the camera and battery. The camera is better but the battery is worse. Despite being an android user since 2009, I'm seriously thinking of jumping over to the iPhone 6S plus to get some decent battery life!
[G4 General] Koostis:
8 ball pool, Viber, web browsing and YouTube watching, with auto-sync off left me 5% of battery with 3 hours and 30 mins of SoT in a single day. I hope that will get better :D

2 hours SoT? Man, even SGS6 could do better. Maybe a factory reset and some time will improve your G4, if not, that jump seems rather reasonable.
[G4 General] digitall1982:

[G4 General] rav101:
Today will be my first day with stock v20b firmware so will report back later. I would say that when I was using cm13 I was able to get plus 5 hours fairly regularly so I'm sure with the right tweaks it will be possible on stock or stock based roms as well. If you are town at the 2 or 3 hour mark, it may be due to how you are using the phone (I'm a fairly light user all things told) but I can also try and give my guidance on what I'm doing to get extra battery as well.
[G4 General] loneclone:
I have the same problem. The process "System (logd)" eats up about 25% of the battery an is the main battery consumer. On 5.1 I did not have this issue. Can anybody help?
[G4 General] kyogiro:
Î recently changed carrier and my previous one had a better coverage. I definitively lost some battery life : I was around 3h30-4 hours of SoT, and now it's more like 3-3h30. So yes, GSM coverage plays quite a big part in your day to day battery life.
[G4 General] willows:
After trying LG G4 Marshmallow i think for battery is good only when idle, but when screen on still have same battery drain on lollipop. So for battery life only add more minutes caused by idle time. LG should make the screen more efficient if i compare to another phone like note 5 with the same battery capacity and QHD screen, note 5 have very good screen on time compare to G4. Hope LG can make more battery efficient on next update
[G4 General] Pfeffernuss:
Note 5 has an AMOLED screen and a vastly superior (quicker and more power efficient) processor.

The G4 will therefor never have comparable battery life.
[G4 General] DoKaTSuYa:
But Touchwizz sucks, and even in game it's not optimize, for instance GTA San Andreas is laggy with a S6 or Note 5, and very smooth with a G4

[G4 General] One Twelve:

thread

and don't see too much impressive battery in there. Just a little better than the G4 in terms of battery.

---------- Post added at 04:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:01 PM ----------

Which means less than 4hSOT with a run time of 24h ?

what is poor about that :)
[G4 General] Pfeffernuss:
Yes, with a bigger and better screen and faster processor.
[G4 General] Koostis:
I see you're going hardcore on replying to battery related questions. :D I just wasn't sure about that battery life as I moved to the G4 from a Sony Xperia Z2, which used to do 6+ hours SoT in 48+ hours of runtime. That's why I was little bit shocked at first. :)
[G4 General] One Twelve:
6+ SOT and 48 runtime is with stamina mode, mostly true on KK only. Those figures came down with L. Though not as much as with sammy devices.

normal on the G4 with L is 3-4h on data and 4-5h sot on wifi with moderate to heavy use . brightness around 60%. Watch this

video

.

Since this thread is about M i would expect similar if not better. If people are not getting it then there is drain caused by a wakelock or more some place.

Light to moderate with 20% brightness in manual you can add an hour extra SOT. Use manual brightness where possible its more efficient indoors. This is without drain and good network connectivity.

No need for root, roms etc. Just stock and greenify at most.
[G4 General] Koostis:
That of course is with stamina, and I would definitely use it if only my G4 had something similar. :) Now that I'm on MM I'm starting to believe that my battery is somewhat in its "old days" already. Brightness always below 40%, half the time on wi-fi, half on data (not LTE). This is what I got.

Also, is your wall charger 1.8A as well? That's almost quick charge teritory :D
