I have a very irritating and annoying battery drain problem that I haven't seen someone post about yet. This has been going on since I bought this phone in may.

Problem Description:

Everytime I charge my phone and unplug it, it never goes into deep sleep anymore.

From the battery usage, it just says "android system".

From 3rd party app "cpu spy plus", it says majority "time in state" is 307MHz.

Work around:

After charging, do the hassle of power cycling the device.

Looking at battery usage, "android system" is now replaced by "phone idle"

Looking at "cpu spy plus", majority "time in state" is now "deep sleep".

This is purely looking at standby time.

I have not been successful in isolating what is causing this behavior. No major steps taken yet like uninstalling apps, factory reset, etc etc..

Need inputs guys...

H860N, stock, has been happening continuously on every build/version which is currently V10m.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] HoffaLompen:
Have you tried rooting, and installing a different ROM, or just a factory reset?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] vizgor:
I don't think root is available yet on the h860n.. and a custom rom for sure is out of the question..

I haven't tried doing something so drastic as a factory reset... trying to see if there are alternatives...
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] dba.rknair@gmail.com:
I had severe battery drain after upgrading to Nougat . Seems like wifi is taking most as for me it was showing Phone Idle taking the most. I think i found a way to tackle it. Now its been 16hours regular usage starting yesterday night and still 50% remaining. Will update you all on the way how i got more battery standby.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] aneesh99:
I found that I solved any drain issues by clearing all app preferences which removes all the permissions
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] dba.rknair@gmail.com:
I have changed again ROM to AME Nougat. ROM is stable and battery is ok but still have the drain and i found the issue is because of Wifi. If i switch off wifi there is no drain at all.

Any experts here can help me resolving this?

I remember my Galaxy S6 and my brother's Nexus 6P wouldn't go to deep sleep until we disabled Google Backup feature (the one that backs up app data, settings, etc.) and restarted the phone. Try that.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Diego 13:
​

After upgrading to Nougat, my battery really took a hit, I've been averaging 4 hours and 40 minutes of SOT on MM, my max was 5 hours and 37 minutes. Now, I can barely get pass from 4 hours, but I'm still over 3 hours, it seems like the phone is having troubles to enter in deep sleep.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] BaftekP:
After update to Nougat 7.0 my H850 is losing battery very fast. 1:30h SoT -_-. Any solution? Already done a wipe...
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] batkinson001:
Have you done a factory reset or two since the update?

That seems to help with the rapidly draining battery.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ultraman1966:
My battery drain issue seems to be completely random; just today I had a bad case where it was barely achieving 1 hour SoT with 50% drained over 3 hours. The main culprit, as I don't have root, seems to just be Android OS which is wakelocking too much.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] BaftekP:
Yeah, i have done 1 reset, just after update and drain is horrible!
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] vizgor:
Thanks for the suggestion, tried it and observed for a bit, didn't seem to help..
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] vizgor:
This worked!!! Now I have to understand why charging the phone triggers the problem and what specific process within the android system it really is...
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] vizgor:
Thank you bossss!!
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Trudi:
Didn't solve my problem. But I observed that I have this extreme battery drain since Facebook and Messenger drained hard the battery because of a bug. And then I remembered that I installed Greenify on my Nougat ROM. I removed Greenify : no more battery drain !!!!!!!
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] brian10161:
I'm quite surprised with this. I was on wifi most of the day keep in mind, but did go out for a bit around noon. Maybe 2 or 3 hours.

This is an entire day on one charge so I'm pretty happy with this battery life.

cell standby drain

guys i updated my f700k to 7.0 . i have weied isssue with battery , in attery graph ''cell standby is always on the top'' it eats more battery than the screen, is the same problem with you guys too? pls any fix? allready tryin forcing it into 2g mode. factory reset n all. ty
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] paulmt123:
It's certainly worth trying flashing different firmware using LG up. When I got this g5 2nd hand it was losing 7 percent an hour on standby. I installed programs (accubattery is useful) and found phone never sleeped. Factory reset did not fix it. So knowing I was on O2 I flashed the O2 UK firmware and now I lose under 2 percent an hour with always on display activated. I've had the phone off charge from 7am to nearly midnight, used the screen for 4 hours 15 and still have 13 percent left which according to accucheck will get me an extra hour of screen on time. So that's 5 hours screen on! Not had many phones that could achieve that.

Should i replace my battery?

Gsam is draining my samsung galaxy note becuase for some reason it is trying to connect internet to server all the time. I uninstall it and battery life is back to normal. I would suggest uninstall Gsam.

My battery seems good after a complete Drain and charge over night I got 27hrs with a 6hr screen on time
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] skivnit:
Right.....
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] PunishedSnake:
Give it a few cycles

Why do people think they get optimal battery life right away
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] barondebxl:
Could you post some screen shots? Thanks
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] turbodroid:
Here is what I got. Seems about the same as my G3. Brightness at 35
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cst79:
So 6 hours on battery and it's down to 20% ? Did it start at 100% ? OMG...
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] alexp999:
Screen on time is much more important than total time on battery.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cst79:
Well...the same story with that. But really, I can't have a phone that lasts 7 hours on a charge, no matter what.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] alexp999:
7 hrs screen on time would be a record for most current phones.

It depends what you are doing with it for how long it lasts between charges. Leave it in standby with the screen off you'll probably get 48+ hrs.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] skivnit:
Sot was 3h45 where did u get 7hrs from And it seems he was on wi-fi ?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] joshr45:
Little over 3 hours off power. Screen on time around an hour pandora running for an hour

My mistake was about half hour screen on time, i am also manually controlling the brightness it just seems like its too bright for its own good
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] turbodroid:
I was on wi-fi the entire time. Lots of internet browsing, facebook, XDA app, took some pics, few texts etc. Normal use really for me. I probably could have gotten close to 5hrs SOT before the battery died, which isn't bad. That's the beauty of a 2nd battery to me....when it dies, swap it out. Will be looking forward to my freebies getting here, I'm not used to having to be tethered to a charger.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] feis:
My 3year old xperia z2 could reach 7sot, so no, its far from calling it a record. S7edge can reach 10hours of sot, anyways different users have different usage, gsmarena.com does best battery tests and you can rely on their results. Lets be honest, g5 has mediocre battery life, but in return you can carry around a spare, thats the way it is.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] flight01:
as you can see i got a screen shot at 13% and i watched a few more vids which got screen on around 5hrs 36 mins after the pic was taken
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] flight01:
Same here 5 hrs screen on time and this time 10hrs 31mins total time. So about 5hrs screen on to get to 13% is basically the norm for this and im able to push it at least 30 more mins till its dead so it is pretty consistent
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cst79:
No offense, but an S7 Edge (Exynos, to be fair) routinely last 48 hours with 6 hours SOT and around 15% left.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheJesus:
Alright, so my first work day with the G5, not overly unhappy, seems more than sufficient to me. On Lte all day, auto brightness, checking instagram, text/facebook messages, stream music , nothing super intensive. Anyways here are some pics to show usage as well as recharge times; which was surprisingly quick. :good: Anyways, not as great of results as others, but like I said more than sufficient for a work day for ME. Usually too busy at wprl to be on the phone all day and it will get me home with ease. The weekend may be a different story, in which case, that second battery will come in handy. Still no complaints and a solid upgrade from my G3. Happy customer :)

Sorry for the Huge pictures
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] japclev:
Not happy with battery life... Gs7 better but non replace... When you can replace why have good life...

Plastic removal of battery is going to last not long

I'm pleased with the battery life. Huge improvement over my galaxy s6.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] PunishedSnake:
What's your sot
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] magnus0322:
I had a G4 and so far I'm pretty pleased with the battery. I would've already swapped batteries by now with my G4.

This is my first charge cycle too, I bet the battery life improves some in the next few cycles.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheJesus:
Usage on Batt 10.5hrs. Screen on 2hrs10mins Lte all day. = 48% battery remaining. Not bad in my opinion, typical work day seems to be netting me 50% usage.

Only thing annoying, which isn't an LG problem it's an app problem. I have all settings turned off for soundcloud yet it still tries to run All Day even though I have it force stopped multiple times over. Not sure what to do with it other than to uninstall. Hate that it always tries to run when closed. Anyways, still happy with my G5
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] magnus0322:
I'm at 5 hrs 25 mins SOT with 10% battery remaining. That's pretty decent. Granted I haven't done anything very intensive, but with this typical usage on my G4 I would've already been on my second battery and that would probably be halfway dead too.

This phone is fast. It's responsive. So fluid. I'm really happy so far.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] swazey:
All day no problem. Doze mode and optimization of this chipset are fantastic

Give it a few cycles the battery will improve idk why but that has been constant for me a few years ago

17% usage in 3 hours, that includes listening to music and social networking for an hour
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] _ray_:
So far its looking good, i am/was skeptical about the battery on this but it seems promising. Can anyone comment about gaming experience in terms of lag and battery usage/heat on this phone ?

Thanks
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] scottricketts:
I have this thing running hard all day: Waze & music or podcasts for the morning commute, same for the drive home, plus running a hotspot for the minions to watch Cartoon Network. I'm getting about 7 hours with 2.5-3 SOT and I recharge at my desk around 1500. I can go ages compared to my s6e off power.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Locklear308:
That's either horrible battery life, or super duper mega heavy usage.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] scottricketts:
Heavy usage. I'm either on a call or listening to media all day while I work.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Locklear308:
I still miss the days of r25 on the OPO. 7-8 hours of screen time everyday with a run time of 15 to 20 hours.

So since you know your own usage, would you consider the G5 strong or weak?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] scottricketts:
Better than the s6e. Like light years ahead. I think the G2 was the last phone I owned that could really stretch into the afternoon, but I wasn't using Waze to drive then, and with a 90 minute drive each way, I really burn through battery. With the s6e, I had to keep that thing on a charger in the car, with the G5. not so much. Thus far, I'm calling it solid.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Locklear308:
Man that is dope! I cannot wait to see if they can crack the bootloader. That's the only thing holding me back...

Thanks for the information!
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] mcall_r:
I'm getting horrible battery

Dies with about 1hr30min of SOT

Installed about 25 apps, the same ones I had on my old phone (Sony Z2)

I have since uninstalled Nova launcher and am testing the battery usage with Smart Launcher, so far at 68% left with only 40m SOT.... That is all the time being connected to Wifi with bluetooth on (not connected).

Seems pretty poor so far. Anyone else had a poor experience with Nova Launcher?

I might do a factory reset to see how it goes.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] CRA5HER:
Will charging this phone with a standard non QC 2.0 charger be detrimental to the battery?

I like to charge my phone in the car using the lighter slot and it is not QC 2.0 compliant. I'm worried that using it will negatively affect the battery life. Any thoughts on this?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] scottricketts:
My car charger is offbrand quick charge and it seems to be doing just fine.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] scottricketts:
Really? I've had Nova on since the start and after the horrible experience of doing the first download of apps and transfer of data, my battery life has been much better than my s6e. And I'm hardly on wifi since my home DSL service is just awful. Here's a screenshot of my SOT based on almost 6 hours of being on battery, using GPS and Waze for about 90 minutes and running a wifi hotspot for about an hour: (also set to auto brightness on the display)

How many cycles so far?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] mcall_r:
Got the phone on the 1st April so maybe it's an April fool... Done about 8 recharge cycles so far. Battery seemed to drain little less fast with smart launcher, but it might be my imagination.

Should I try a factory reset?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] PunishedSnake:
Ouch wouldn't hurt

Maybe an app isn't agreeing with the g5
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Smithfolk4:
Good Luck

Before doing a factory reset you should try to figure out what is causing the drain. Install GSAM battery monitor and try to find out what the problem is. You may have some app that is killing your battery. If you can't figure it out from there, then maybe go for the reset.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Timefusion:
I'm at the end of my first full cycle post setup...results for my use are very good. I keep brightness at 50% and keep wifi on at home. Primarily for business use. Lots of calls, texts, emails (6 syncing accounts) and some browsing / social media

Total time on battery 41 hours 11 min

Voice calls 3 hrs 29 minutes

Screen on TIme 1 hr 50 minutes
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] got3n:

I don't know what manner of voodoo LG have employed. But on my first cycle at 25% battery with 4.5 hours screen on time.

I've watched 4k YouTube videos, made calls and used the phone a lot.

So so impressed.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Illmatic662:
Sounds amazing, so my question to you is are you just using the phone stock?

Have you changed the launcher or done anything?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] sstanton86:
New as of Friday. Fresh out the box and everything stock. Using the lg launcher that it comes with, without the app draw. And actually, I quite like it.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] skivnit:
And what's the uptime ?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] zkyevolved:
Wow that's good. I have the S7E and I am at 40% battery life after 16 hours of off the charger, and 2.5 hours of SOT. So I can probably get to 4 over 24 hours. The other day over 18 hours I got 5 hours of SOT. I guess my usage is just a bit heavier than yours :)
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Timefusion:
2nd full charge cycle...business type usage with wifi on all the time and brightness at 50%. This time I had the always on display on for half the time. I still have 17% remaining

Time since last charge: 47 hrs 55 minutes

Call time 2hrs 42 minutes

Screen on time 1 hr 46 minutes

This is far better than my LG V10, Nexus 6, and Note 3 before that
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] lywyn:
So two days with charge each night. Getting to 50% by lunch and 15% by 8pm.

One thing I noticed was the location icon was on status bar, looking in battery usage Google Maps was 40% of usage. Killed maps and now it's slower on discharging.

Hopefully a few more cycles it will get better but I'm worrying it will not be good enough. My Xperia Z2 is at 92% whilst LG at 50% and both removed from charge at same time and running same apps.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] DualSportDad:
The location icon will appear again. Go on to permissions and give maps full permissions. Immediately solved the problem for me.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] One Twelve:
It's called android 6.0.1

The thing beats the G4 with a bigger battery (!)
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] sstanton86:

An italian reviewer with his "stress use" did not arrived at 7pm with almost 2h and 45 min sot... He said that on 4g cell has a big battery drain... I wonder if it's real or maybe it's due to software optimization that is not good yet.. The same revewer with s7 flat arrived after 10pm..

According to international reviews, and the users in this thread his devices had probably some problems.

I've got excellent battery live with my H850. More then 24h standby with 3-4h SOT and always on display on. If I play CoC and CR I've got 18h standby with 3h SOT

Getting some amazing battery life with my G5. Getting around 3.5-4 hours of SOT with normal use while on LTE.

Plus I am also getting around 2.5-3 hours SOT while heavy gaming. That SD820 sure is well optimized.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Smithfolk4:
Good Battery Here

In 7-8 hours off the charger I have 3-4.5 hours of SOT and am at 40%. GSAM says 3 hours and the system says 4.5. I think it is probably in the middle. THis is time spent setting up the phone so a lot of use in a pretty short time. SOT is good. Can't say much about standby.

Verizon model with as much bloat as possible disabled in the app manager. No Always on Screen running.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheJesus:

Got my phone yesterday, set it up, charged it and have been using it since to fine tune all settings, talk on messenger a bit and just plain old exploring the phone. Phone brightness has been on auto, then not on auto (auto brightens way too bright):D
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Smithfolk4:
Here's an update on my battery life. First day is described above. Second day had a bit of an issue. The phone got hot in my pocket and I am guessing that it lost about 10-15% in as many minutes. I figured out it was a problem with Skype/Microsoft sign it. It was in some sort of a loop trying to sign into Skype when I was already signed in. I force closed the app, then signed out and all is well since then. I don't have a good read on usage for yesterday. Also, ever since then, in GSAM, I have no usage being attributed to apps. It is all going to "held awake". The other big one is screen and a bit for phone radio, phone, and wifi.

Today I have 1 hour 55 minutes of screen on time and am at 70%. I also had a 13 minute phone call. That's pretty good. No navigating or anything like that which seems to eat battery faster. Just texting, browsing, etc.

So, if I can keep rogue apps from eating the battery I will be very happy with the battery performance.

adding screen shots with battery info for the day
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] waylo:
I am really confused as to how many people here are reporting just phenomenal battery life. Can you please report on what carrier you are on?

I've had my H830 Tmobile for almost a week now, and it is just horrendous compared to my G4. Having no root of course limits the ability to cut out bloat, but I have debloated/disabled both the T-Mobile app and their not to secret/secret reporting app (com.pr.tmobile.adapt). Wifi is off when there's no need. Installed GSAM and looking to see if that adds any insights.

Hmm, today I had 16.5 hours on time, down to 17% now. Only 2.5 hours SOT. Pretty crappy compared to some of these postings here.

On my G4 I'd be at maybe 60% battery by this time, never below 50%.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] sstanton86:
I'm really surprised people are getting awful battery. I don't get battery anxiety with this phone. Easily lasts a day and can go into the second day with ease. I'm a heavy user and get 5-5.5hr screen on time pretty much every day. Everything stock. I absolutely love it!
