In my case I did update from LL directly, battery was a disaster, disabled location services improved a lot. Found out how to do CSE installation with LG UP, reflashed the phone and disabled location services, battery is great...I end up the day with 40% with normal usage with WIFI at work.

I updated my H815p (south africa) to Marshmallow 6.0 using the LGup utility the first time I flashed I selected update only option, and I was getting unusual drain so I retried and this time opted for refurbish option which I believe is the fresh install option, and still only get 55 min screen on time. Android OS is keeping the device awake all the time. What can I try to solve this.

Factory reset, set it charge overnight, then goes to around 30% with 1 and a half hour screen on time. That's what I was getting previously. I've reverted to Lollipop.

somebody have already tried the stock LG app named "LG backup" ???

this app REALLY do a full backup of all apps and all datas of these apps too (like Titanium ) ???

Since getting the update my battery performance has been terrible. Its takes hours to charge the phone and when left off charge last night i lost almost 20% with thr phone doing nothing. When i use my phone the battery can be seen draining.

I have restarted the phone a number of times. Dont really want to do a hard reset though.

I have emailed LG and shall keep you all posted.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trevortoo:
Hi,

I joined this forum just for this issue. I was all excited about the new battery improvement with MM 6.0 although my LG G4 had excellent battery life before - thought better is always a good thing.

Until I upgraded to MM 6.0 about a week ago. I thought I was just using my phone more as it kept being at 20% by 5pm when I was never less than 75% before?

So I started doing some reading and checking the battery usage and installed Greenify.

Last night I had my phone at 100%. Unplugged for 8 hours with no usage - I was asleep...

This morning battery was at 80%???

So I checked what is using the battery. The issue is that you cannot reset these items to zero but they do seem to fluctuate so this maybe a current usage? I pulled the battery for 30 seconds and the percentages are about the same.

Google Services 15% (I suspect my location services that are enabled but they were enabled under LL 5.1 and never killed the battery).

Next is a weird one com.lge.exchange 12% (I assume the exchange server I get work email on) - have always had it before as well if that is it and have not changed the sync settings which are manual so only get mail when I call for it)

Phone idle 12% - what is phone idle taking 12% for?

Cell standby 11%.

So based on a 20% drop over eight hours with ZERO usage other than standby - my LG G4 will last about 30 hours on STANDBY. No usage - just sitting in a quiet room.

Can someone help what is now sucking my battery dry all the time?

TIA

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haradath:
I have the same issue, after I did the V20D-JAN update a week ago. My SOT dropped from ~4h to less then one with "Android System" beeing on top of my battery history with 50%. I really wonder, what happened to my device.

I did a total of 5 factory resets, 2 full discharges (not hard, when your battery only lasts about 30min of continuous usage) and still, nothing changed. It even got to the point, where it discharged while on the wall adapter after a factory reset. I installed no apps, no root or nothing. Full stock after a reset and it dropped charge in no time.

Disabling location, logging, LG health and most other stock apps after a factory reset did not change a thing. "Andoid System" was at 40-50% battery usage in less then 15min after I booted the phone.

Anyone else had this, too?

I just try the 20D EUR rom again for 4 days long. This is the 3 time that i updated to 20D and i will now downgrade back to 10D Germany EUR rom again. If i turn on the 3G on, ita just drain the battery.

Came to check whether it's safe to update back to Marshmallow yet but I guess not.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trevortoo:
Well I have good news, my LG G4 no longer is eating through the battery. That is because it is in a perpetual reboot cycle!!!!! No longer working. Actually will sometimes run for 5 minutes then reboots. I have even gotten it into safe mode when running and it still reboots and 90% of the time freezes until I pull the battery. My cell phone provider in Rogers is simply sending me a new phone...

Nice %^&$%^$ upgrade to Android 6.0

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magatsu82:
Me and a friend of mine, the first 2 weeks after 6.0 update the phone was performing flawlessly, with even better battery life. after that it all went down, it's been a month now, MI battery last nothing, I factory reset 2 times, installed nothing only stock apps and the batter drain was still there. I went form 3 - 4hs screen on time with 30 hs total use, to 2hs SOT with 12 hs total use. Tried recalibrating the battery, disabling GPS, Bluetooth, sync, everything, still drains. it seems like it never goes into deep sleep, Android System and Kernel are the cause of the drain, they always have a lot of CPU time. I'm not rooted nor bootloader unlocked. I practically gave up, this phone was awesome now is just garbage it eats like 7% per hour without using it ,I'm really sad : (

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lord5619:
Hi guys, some problems with G4 here...i did factory reset yesterday morning, because my battery life was terrible, about 2 hours OST. And my phone did not switch to deepsleep.

So i thought that FR will do the trick, but today i left it whitout charger overnight and still no deepsleep and 15% of battery was gone.

And i am still unable to put G4 to deepsleep. Setting says, that System Android disabled deepsleep, not some external app, but system.

Anyone know how to force the system to deepsleep?

EDIT: yes, i am on MM

[HTC One Max] LoveSpock:
I would like to know how to upgrade to a new ROM (Lollipop or better) on my Verizon HTC One Max with the option to return to stock. Software Information: 4.4.2, Sense 6.0, 3.09.605.3, 6.20, 4.60_002, 15432, 5

I was told to use (and did) Sunshine and then downloaded SuperSU from Google Store (per very detailed instructions and was told to not choose TWRP when the question popped up to choose one or the other (common/normal?)).

My phone is now UNLOCK and S-OFF as well as Rooted (but I'm having a lot of problems with blank screens, etc. and even had the black screen with the red ! in a red triangle (and I don’t know how I got it to boot up again (pushed pwr buttons, vol +/-, etc.)). However, that is as far as I’ve gotten. Confused am I.

I don’t know how to flash

; however, I’ve been trying to figure it out, but I’m lost.

I’ve downloaded a lot of files from other threads, but the instructions, while detailed, didn’t say HOW to flash or add TWRP where I (a NEWBORN NEWBIE/NOOBIE) could understand, etc. Is there a place where all this is together?

Am I out of luck or would someone PLEASE help me fix and upgrade it with the option to return to stock if needed? I would love to have Sense 7.0, if possible. I apologize for such a long post/thread.

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!!!

P. S. My phone is now Prepaid Verizon (was Postpaid). Don't know if that matters. I have pics of the files I downloaded from one of your great guys, but they are on my computer. Not sure how to upload. I AM GLAD THAT I FOUND YOUR SITE!!!!!
[HTC One Max] Flyhalf205:
[MENTION=7198615]LoveSpock[/MENTION] I am going to make this short and simple...

First off the Verizon Max software only goes up to 4.4.2. If you want to upgrade you'll need a custom rom which is why you S-OFF and unlocked...

You will need to get familiar with fastboot commands. Google is your friend on how to use if you don't know how to. Here is the link to the TWRP image for your device. http://flyhalf205.com/recoveries/openrecovery-twrp-2.8.7.1-t6univ.img Once you get fastboot setup you will type in the command fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.7.1-t6univ.img Make sure you have everything in the same directory when executing the command.

From there you are free to wipe then flash anything you would like. Wiping will delete your data so text, contacts that are stored on local phone(not sim or google) will be deleted.
[HTC One Max] LoveSpock:
@Flyhalf205

Thank you for your response and instructions. Does this mean I don't need to do anything to the SUPERSU that is already on the phone (and what it did)?.... Following your instructions will wipe everything?

I'll definitely need to take out my sd card. I've saved a ton of stuff on it. ...and backup my contacts and text messages.

I have some more googling and try to learn what you wrote for me to learn. I'll also have to find out what ROM to use....

Your Padawan thanks you.
[HTC One Max] Flyhalf205:
Shouldn't worry about supersu. Most custom ROMs are going to have that prebuilt into it. Once you get TWRP we will go further into detail about how stuff works.
[HTC One Max] bdouc:
If you use twrp no need to take your SD card out just go to setting and unchecked SD card and like lovespoke said make sure to dl the right file you can dl right fastboot files here on xda just search it
[HTC One Max] Xx MOE:
Hey! Don't mean to hijack the thread but I'm in the same boat. I've never rooted and I'm looking to root my Verizon HTC one max. I'd also like to maybe install a custom Rom but I'm a noob so I'm not quite sure what I'm doing. Ok so it's my understanding that sunshine will root, s-off, AND unlock my boot loader? Btw I have no idea what those terms mean. Anyway, if someone could please confirm that about sunshine, it would really help me out. I've already downloaded and installed sunshine on my phone but I haven't paid the $25 yet.
[HTC One Max] hgoldner:
Xx Moe, I strongly suggest you READ the various threads on XDA about unlocking bootloaders, gaining S-OFF and rooting. You can easily brick a device and there's much less support for the Max now than there was when it came out more than two years ago.

I don't believe Verizon HTC One Max's can be rooted without unlocking bootloader/gaining S-OFF and the exclusive method for that is Sunshine (unless you know someone with a Java card). Once you're bootloader unlocked and S-OFF, you can then "flash" any partition on the device and that's how to brick the device.

Once you are bootloader unlocked and S-OFF, you start by flashing a 'recovery', which is usually the latest version of TWRP for the HTC One Max. Don't flash a recovery for a different device. (Google "Team Win Recovery Project"). Once you have a custom recovery you can "wipe" your device and flash a new ROM.

Wiping deletes all data, or some data, depending upon how you wipe, and there are not very many Verizon HTC One Max ROMs out there that are fully functional. Check the threads, one sticky thread has a listing of ROMs.

Finally, I don't believe anyone has gotten Marshmallow going on a Max, so expect the "best" you'll be able to do is a Lollipop ROM or a Cyanogen Mod equivalent.
[HTC One Max] Xx MOE:
Awesome! Thanks for the super quick reply. So yes, sunshine will s-off and unlock boot loader. That seemed to be the million dollar question since (like you said) the one max doesn't have very much support anymore. I'm definitely going to keep reading the forums because I don't want to brick my phone. I've also been watching some tutorials on YouTube. Everything (so far) seems pretty straight forward now, but you can never be too careful. Thanks for your help hgoldner!
[HTC One Max] Xx MOE:
Hey flyhalf, is there a thread on here on how to learn about adb fastboot, and flash the custom recovery for noobs? I cant seem to find it. I'm trying to install a custom rom on my htc one max but this is my first time ever rooting/unlocking an android. Ive searched the site but i cant find a tutorial on how to install the custom recovery or learn about adb yet. I have sunshine already on my phone but i havent used it yet because i want to know exactly what im doing before i pay the $25. Any help is appreciated. I already know how to get into the bootloader by pressing the power and volume down buttom at the same time while the phone is turned off.
[HTC One Max] Flyhalf205:
I'm heading to bed now. If I get time tomorrow I'll try to explain. If not we can setup team viewer and I can just set your computer up for you.
[HTC One Max] Xx MOE:
That would be awesome, but i think i found something from google. https://twrp.me/devices/htconemaxverizon.html

I downloaded the sdk and corresponding java that the site recommended. I attached a screenshot of my pc to show where im at in that process.
[HTC One Max] Xx MOE:
I also downloaded the android-sdk_r24.4.1-windows.zip file but i moved it out of my downloads file, so it didn't show up on my screenshot
[HTC One Max] Flyhalf205:
Download the platform tools and the android usb driver. Don't need anything else.

But basically if your s-off yet. Boot into HBOOT. Power off phone and hold down both power button and the volume down button. Select fastboot using the power button. Your computer should hopefully automatically pick up drivers and call the device "My HTC" in the device manager. If not you'll need to go in and manually assign the downloaded driver using the link above to the Android device in device manager.

Download twrp image file into the same directory as the platform tools downloaded to. In windows, right click while holding down shift anywhere on the white blank area in platform tools and click on "open command window here".. From there you will type in the command fastboot flash recovery recoveryFileName.img

If it says waiting for device. Check device manager and make sure the driver is installed right.
[HTC One Max] Xx MOE:
Ok, so if im doing this correctly, the twrp img should be in the platform tools folder and my computer should recognize my phone as "my htc" as shown in my attached screenshot...
[HTC One Max] Flyhalf205:
Yes. That is correct so far.
[HTC One Max] Xx MOE:
Perfect! Thank you so much! now all i have to do is use sunshine to s-off/unlock bootloader and follow this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2498746 to install custom recovery and i should now be able to flash custom roms!

Almost Ready....

I've been out of commission... Sorry about the long wait.

I'm sure you've been very busy.

I found the fastboot.exe file and placed it and your twrp file into a folder on my desktop. Before I run fastboot and add your twrp img file, what would the next step be? .... I don't have have a ROM yet to add to the phone. Should I have that first? Would you please direct me to the right one for me? I noted in one of your replies to another member that there isn't a Marshmallow one, yet.

Do I need the ADB file?

Thank you,

Your Padawan.
[HTC One Max] LoveSpock:
Would you recommend uninstalling the HTC program that automatically picks up the phone?
[HTC One Max] Flyhalf205:
I forget if you were s-off or s-on but you will need to be s-off or your bootloader will need to be unlocked.. You don't need a rom just yet. You could flash recovery and flash root for starters. But once you get it flashed we can start on what to do next.
[HTC One Max] LoveSpock:
Update...

Sorry... I started the thread back in January. I've been out of commission and starting over.

I had used Sunshine to S-off and Unlock. I used SU to root. I knew nothing about flashing or fastboot and am still learning. One of your original responses to my original post said that google was my friend, so I googled per your advice and found some information on fastboot.

I don't know what flash root means in your response above.

You had also gave me the link to the TWRP image for my phone. You also wrote "Make sure you have everything in the same directory when executing the command." I've added 2 of the pics again as well as one of your img file in the directory I created when I loaded Android Studio.

The Android Studio I downloaded is the latest. Does that make a difference? I did find info on this site about a minimal adb and fastboot. Would that have been better?

I'm imagining my phone will be out of commission until the new ROM is installed, right? (See how I'm still such a Newbie/Noobie!)

Thank you!

Your Padawan
[HTC One Max] Flyhalf205:
That third photo looks great. You have the basic files. You need to open up a command prompt while your phone in fastboot is connect to your PC and in the command prompt navigate to where fastboot.exe is and type fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

Once you get that command done and TWRP is on your phone. We will get to the next step of root and supersu.
[HTC One Max] LoveSpock:
Remove SuperSU "Free" that was added as a normal .apk file?

Before I do the above, do I need to remove the SuperSU (now called SuperSU Free) that I had added as a regular .apk file? I followed another source's instructions a long time ago (before I found you) to add it and chose the normal/common option since I didn't have TWRP. It didn't really root.

Thank you for your patience.

Your Padawan.
[HTC One Max] LoveSpock:
Did I do this correctly?

Okay... Sorry for the long wait... I followed the steps. The TWRP image/menu came up when I clicked on Recovery! :) It took a while to figure that out! Not sure how to use it, yet.

Per your instructions above, the next step is root and supersu. :D

Thank you for your patience.

Again, thank you!

[HTC One Max] Flyhalf205:
Awesome. So i'd go ahead and make a backup just in case. After that you'll go flash supersu and you'll be rooted and stock.
[HTC One Max] LoveSpock:
How do I flash supersu? How do I make a backup?

You are so great, and I appreciate your patience and detailed instructions you've given me. I'm still a newbie/noobie, so would you please explain some more things?

How do I make a backup? Where would this backup go?

How do I flash supersu? Where would I get the supersu file I need?

How do I use TWRP? I googled but couldn't find instructions I understood. Is this where I would be able to load a new ROM? I don't know how to load a ROM. Which ROM is the best ROM I need?

Thank you for your patience.

Your Padawan.
[HTC One Max] Flyhalf205:
Go here to download supersu: http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu-stable and get copied over to your phone.

Once you boot into TWRP. You'll click on the button that says Backup. Default selection will be Boot, Data, and System which is good. Below you'll see a button that says "Select Storage" which is where you'll select internal or your sdcard. Once selected Swipe to backup. It will take a few minutes to complete.

After backing up, Go back to main menu which you can do by selecting the home button on the nav keys onscreen. Click install. Now you will need to navigate to where you copied the supersu zip over to. You can change storage by clicking on select storage button. Once you find that zip you click it and swipe to confirm flash.
