Not even with the latest PB5 update we still have the February Security Patch. Interesting

I notice there isn't an open thread to talk about battery life yet, and now that the phone is actually shipping, want to hear (and see) what people are getting on that 2800 mAh juicer, and how it does against the Galaxy S7, the LG G4, and other devices.

says it has about 7 hours screen on time, ill see what the drain is during a normal day of off/on time tomorrow probably

Here is my battery life, so far it's just as good as the s7 edge and no battery drain issues!!!!

That sir is awesome battery life. Mind sharing your phone usage habits and coverage? Bluetooth Wifi etc

Thanks!
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] evobyte:
This all wouldn't be possible if it wasn't for the application called "shut app".. With the s7, edge I was managing about 4hr30 min screen on time and then I installed the app shut app, it closes out all these silly background processes but still allows you to get notifications from Facebook and Instagram.

Once I installed the app the s7 edge had amazing battery life and went increased to about 6 hours screen on.

Now comparing this g5 to the s7 edge, the s7 edge had a major battery drain issue from Android system!! How else do you explain this screen on time doing just as well as the monster battery the s7 edge has??

I obviously have every vibration off, WiFi is only on while I'm at home, I have adguard installed and it just got updated to milestone and I no longer see it in the battery section affecting battery life. I have insurance on my phone so I turn Google location reporting off. I turn off all usage reporting in Google also. I have sync always on, I have too for work. I only have one account syncing, that's my Google.

whats your screen on time so far?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] mattemer:
It was just at 3 hours when I posted those shots. I won't be at my "average" daily use for a few days, but by comparison for me, I was running my droid turbo through a lot of videos and internets same time last weekend, and it was dead by 2pm. So I'm thinking at worse, I haven't compromised time between charges.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] jbrzoska093:

Terrible battery life so far

My battery life is terrible ... I have LG-H820 and after setting it up i'm barely touching it because i'm busy with something ... Even did a factory reset and set it up from scratch again ... No dice ... Look below:

EDIT: My "Screen ON" time is only 41 min.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] joshr45:
was minimal usage about an hour and a half of SOT when i checked
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] zkyevolved:
You have an app that is destroying your battery life. I'd look into it. I've been seeing very positive things for the moment about this phone both here and in forums and reddit.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] bormasina:
Yep, some app is trashing my battery ... But the funny thing is that i have no apps installed besides "GSam Battery Monitor". Bone stock and i've disabled some google preinstalled apps (Gmail, Hangouts, Photos, PlayMusic, Google Docs, Sheets) and all of the ATT apps that can be disabled. Not sure what is calling this com.lge.ia.task.informant process that is trashing my battery. Obviously, i've logged in with Google account so i can get access to PlayStore and i've configured my outlook.com email as an Exchange account. My outlook.com account is a must ...

Right now i suspect that the problem is related to the com.lge.exchange (com.lge.ia.task.informant seem as part of it?) but i do not see any problems with my outlook.com account on any other device (i've confiscated my brother's s7 edge for my testing yesterday and today and i've violated my work rules by adding personal email on my work iPhone 6s plus).

Anybody else with this rouge com.lge.ia.task.informant process/service problem?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pphish20:
I'm planning on putting together a thread for stock best settings for battery; but for starters u can flash this which debloats the stock ROM:

Then throw on 2d GPU processing in developer options. And I use xposed with amplify and greenify
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] ryanpm40:
​

Thanks for the tips! But, idk, I feel like we shouldn't have to sacrifice the functionality of our phones just to get a decent battery life out of it. Maybe that made sense on my HTC Incredible from 6 years ago, but weve come a long way since then.

Plus I don't think the VZ G5 has root yet? I would love me some xposed :P

Found Shut App, no sign of adguard on the play store, and milestone is for watching security feeds not doing anything with phone batteries...
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] AB__CD:
So i got myself my own G5 after LG held a very convenient trade up program, which I used as an excuse to buy a new phone and get rid of my old G2 in one shot. Mine is the H845 SE model, very impressed so far with everything, no noticeable difference with the 820 yet, but I do notice battery takes a massuve hit when camera is open, much more so than other phones, and the build quality on mine while among the better ones, is nowhere near perfect. Will be trying it out over the next few days, in the meantime here's part of my first cycle
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] suunnittelija:
I have H850 with latest firmware and I'm not happy at all about battery life. It lasts under 20 hours with barely 2 hours SOT. I'm not even using the phone much. Based on the battery stats the four most consuming apps are Google services 20%, screen 15%, phone in sleep mode 13% and Spotify 13%. I had earlier ZTE Axon Elite with 200mAh bigger battery and I got easily 1.5 to 2 full days with similar usage. Any suggestions?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] SirDigitalKnight:

Looks like larger mAh batteries are now available for the G5. anyone try one out yet?

You can pretty much be guaranteed those are bull****. How are they packing in more juice into the same amount of space? Proceed with caution!
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] vader20:
I'm on V10a and, to my surprise, i have reached and crossed the 5h SOT limit with around 40h of power on time but not a chance past that. The 2800 mah battery on my old S5+ "felt" more durable and with a bit of effort i could get two days of a single charge. The hardware is more demanding on the G5 but at least it charges fast :)

Could firmware version be responsible for some of the lower SOT's posted here? What's your opinion?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lukijs:
On v10e so far. Data and location on non-stop, also I've been listening to audiobook too almost since beginning. Sot sofaris 1h6min, so if I keep at it, I will last to end of work day with around 50 percent and sot till 0? would be around 4h
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] vader20:
Would you say battery life improved over the updates? Or you haven't noticed :)
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lukijs:
Havent noticed as I tend to juice phone up often. I would like to test it to 0? if I get the chance.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] caiko:
I have used Gsam after the update - it says my average SOT is 5 and 30 minutes
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] molbor:
I got a H850 european model. Got alot of batterydrain. During night, like 6-7hours, in airplanemode and wifi off I loose about 25-30%.

No AOD either. Anyone how a clue?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] vader20:
What is your firmware version (V10xx)? When i bought my G5 i charged it to 100% then did a factory reset and had almost zero problems with it. Maybe some app is keeping the device awake.... wakelock detector used to be a good app to check rogue apps.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] molbor:
Firmware version is V10d-Eur-xx. Feels like I tried everything. Did a favtoryreset once.

Seems like I need to root.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lukijs:
And what would root do? Check under battery which app causes drain, if its an app.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] molbor:
It's not an app. As I wrote its something in the system.

I guess with root I can tweak and delete bloatware etc.

The other option is to kill it and get a new one on the insurance and hope for better luck.

I get around 12h batterytime and max 3h SOT.

The picture shows this nights test. Airplanemode and wifi off and AOD off.

Telefonen Inaktiv means Phone inactive.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] vader20:
Unfortunately no picture is attached and I would read the insurance contract again because killing it and then not getting paid would be a killer... I wanted to sign an insurance contract (my previous phone got stolen - long story) and upon reading the terms i found only a hand full of actual situations in which the insurance company pays for the phone so I gave up on the insurance thing and decided to be more careful rather then pay and then pray for the "right" circumstance to cash the insurance. What is your carrier? Have you tried flashing a OPEN EU firmware?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] molbor:
I'm from sweden. Telia is the carrier. The insurance covers about everything. Smash my samsung s3 in the cardoor when the batteryloading stopped working. Went to the store with the phone in small pieces and got a new one, a better s3 with LTE. Anyway, offtopic.

Dont know what you mean by flashibg a open eu firmware? Not root?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] vader20:
I mean flash a stock untouched-by-carrier firmware like the BTU or Nordic firmware from samsung s3 era. You can follow this page for that operation. The only downside i see is mentioned in the faq of the thread:

"Q: I get a mismatch region code error on boot up after flashing this, what is it?

A: It means this KDZ wasn't meant for your specific variant but it shouldn't be an issue or actually do anything other than annoy on boot. You can fix it by using root to delete what's in your devices "cust" folder.. the error should go away then. Or find/flash the proper KDZ for your region. Or just deal with it. "

If you have some spare time you can give this a shot and post your feedback :)

I turned off finger print scanner and always on display and my screen on time has improved dramatically. I'm currently on 3 hrs SOT with 44% battery left. Previously I was getting around 3 to 3.5 hrs SOT maximum.

Here's a screenshot from later on in the day. I'm running auto brightness with battery saving location. I even have sync enabled for all google apps.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] HoffaLompen:
My H850 started acting up recently, was on V10d when almos all of a sudden battery life decreased a lot. Standby drain was almost 10% pr hour, so installed gsam, which could tell me that it is the kernel that is keeping the phone awake.

Probably going to try a hard reset on it, and see if that helps.

I got my lg g5 for a week now and I am not happy about battery life at all. Tonight I couldn't sleep so I was browsing internet on 0 screen brightness and battery was going down every few minutes. I have sync off, back up off, GPS off, not using any social app. I replaced my HTC one m8 (received as a replacement for the one I lost so cannot say it was brand new, could be refurbished) due to battery life and brand new lg is not any better. I have lost 2% writing this post on auto brightness... Bad, really bad
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] skwieradee:
I am losing 1% of battery every 2 minutes while only reading a forum!!! Brightness 28?. On 3g but come on, i jumped only once between pages! Can you imagine how battery level goes down when playing a games or watching a YouTube? I'm disgusted
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] isholay:
I had the same issue. I could not figure out what the problem was until I reflashed stock rom, rooted but without xposed framework and the modules. Then I noticed a big change in the battery life. SOT never went pass 2hr 30 and I had to charge 3 to 4 times a day. But now without xposed the SOT has improved 4hr 30min to 5hrs, unbelievable! But I miss xposed and my modules though. This is weird cos I don't think xposed should affect the battery life.

[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] thrawnfsa:
How is it possible ?

It's a very weird situation i'm encountering with my h850.

Before a week, i couldn't even imagine it was possible.

During IDLE, battery is consumed about 4-5% per hour. It gives almost 50% killed over a night.

The first problem of my device was the erratic behaviour of the power button.

One day, it stopped totaly working, as the fingerprint scanner (Option even disappear under "Parameter > Security & Fingerprint).

I ordered a new power button, open the phone, and replace the disfunctionning old power button.

Right after the replacement, Power button worked again !

However, i realise Fingerprint scanner option wasn't back, and while monitoring the phone, i noticed a battery drain (About 4% while IDLE)

I think that the battery drain started the day before i changed the power button, but i'm not sure.

I tried those workarounds, which didn't change anything for the fingerpint scanner and the battery drain :

I tried a factory reset => Google restauration.

Then Factory Reset, No Google Restauration

Then I unlock bootloader, install twrp, Wipe All and flash CM14.1

Went back to V10C, upgraded to V10I

Use Fastboot to erase completly system, cache and userdata, reflash V10E Zip

Use LG Bridge to test through KDZ Flash of the V10i.

Nothing give me the scanner fingerprint back, and my batterie still drain as 4% per Hour as IDLE (Even in Airplane Mode).

During my journey to solve my problem, i use GSAM, betterbatterystats, System Pannel trying to understand the root cause.

The phone go in deepsleep well. Android system and Kernel (Android OS) are the "causes" of the drain, but what can i do ? (Given GSAM)

The System_Server // SurfaceFlinge are two services consumming much (Given System Pannel).

AccuBattery says the capacity of the stock battery is the same as before (About 2400mah), so this isn't a hardware damage.

Stock battery use says that "Inactive phone" is drainning the battery.

I tried the opposite solution : Instead trying to understand what's going on, i tried to decrease the drain.

As root, i installed Greenify, and configured it as agressive as possible. It didn't solve anything.

I'm actually in V10i stock (Last version accessible in EU), no AOD, no Wifi, No stock Apps disabled.

If anybody has a suggestion for resolving my battery issue, i would be glad to hear.

Thanks fo reading.

EDIT : In the Hidden Service Menu, (*#546368#*850#), i see that the fingerprint test fails on "SPI" test. What is this ?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] malimal:
Yeah bought mine a couple days ago and really want to like and keep this phone, but the battery life is terrible. I turned off the AoD, that helped a little. I have the extra battery and stuff, but was never one to want to keep switching out. Not rooted so can't get good battery stats.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] vader20:
Maybe the phone is actively trying to get a "read" from fingerprint buton and therefore the battery drains faster.

BTW my G5 gets a pass on that test.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] thrawnfsa:
Hi Vader20.

Yeah, That's one of my idea too.

However, i don't have any clue to dig more deeply in this way.

Is there an Xposed module to desactivate some hardware ?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] vader20:
I suppose you already tried to disable fingerprint option from settings, so that leaves warranty the only option to fix your problem. Does your fingerprint reader work fine if used? Because it's going to fun explaining to the service center how your fingerprint doesn't work when in fact it does :laugh:
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] thrawnfsa:
In fact, i'm using Xposed + Amplify to try to debug my drain.

Using Device Control from Xposed shows that the fingerprint scanner is unacessible.

SPI stands for Serial Peripherical Interface. The failing test from the hidden menu should say the same thing as Device Control.

BetterBatteryStats shows a lot of wakelock and alarm from Google Services.

I'm trying to investigate a software cause of my drain.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] galr:
It could be Greenify, but I have amazing battery life. I'm 24 hours on battery with SOT of 2:30 and still have 43% left. My G5 is 7 months old.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] molbor:
I also had a massive batterydrain, 3-4% per hour, even in airplane mode. Tried everything, root etc. Nothing helped. But it on the shelf waiting for nougat to be a miracle. Bought a cheap chinaphone, oukitel k6000 pro, 6000mah battery with amazing batterylife. 2% drain a night. Easy 2days of usage, sometimes 3days and with 10h of SoT. Smooth phone but a bad camera. Missing the camera of the G5 so I really hoping for nougat to fix that awful batterylife!
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] lolmensch:
It probably won't get that battery life. The g5 has too many pixels a far more powerful processor which also needs more battery and the battery size is half the physical size of your Chinese phone.

Sorry to say that nougat won't overcome physical differences :/ it might be sightly better but definitely not 10 h of screen on time
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] molbor:
Not expacting the same batterylife. Just that the drain stops.

It would be possible the get maybe 4hours of SoT if the drain would not be 4%/hour. Its like 20-25% an hour with screen on so with not a massive idle drain 4-5hours of screen is what the phone would perform. With my usage I got max 2,5h sot, sometimes as little as 1,5h. Almost never could make a whole day.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] thrawnfsa:
Totally right Molbor.

Our problem with the G5 isn't the SoT, it is the IDLE Drain.

Today, i tried something different : I completly disengaged Insystem Doze, and move to Greenify (+Xposed).

The result this evening !
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] lolmensch:
Always on display drains ~1% per hour. I have a drain of about 1-2% per 3 hours. But I froze a lot of system apps and have nothing syncing besides GMail and Whatsapp.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] HoffaLompen:
I have the exact same drain - rooting and installing different ROM's did not help, drain still there. The name of the bugger is ANX_WLOCK, and there is nothing out there about it at all. So for now, just waiting for the N update to see if it fixes it (my hopes are not up..)
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] thrawnfsa:
How many % do you lose per hour in IDLE ?

Apparently, N makes us losing TWRP. It's taking a great risk to upgrade before TWRP is present for G5/N.

How could a battery drain resist a flash ? Could it be caused by something in /firmware or in /sys ?

Right now, i'm working with the App "Disable Service" to try to find a culprit.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] HoffaLompen:
Right now I'm losing ca 5,6% an hour on standby, running a de-bloated stock ROM.

On CM I was up at almost 12% an hour, so stock has been fairer for the battery,

But how a drain can resist a flash is beyond me and my knowledge of this. I even tried to format everything except ext sd, which did not help either.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] molbor:
I think there must be some hardware fault with some phones. Heard so many have abnormal drain.

I've tried Everything. Diffrent roms, factory reset, greenify, amplify etc etc etc. There have to be something with the hardware.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] thrawnfsa:
Yeah, maybe it's an hardware fault.

But how could it be totally transparent from the operating system ?

Are there anys tools that would allow to troubleshoot an hardware issue ?

BTW, i tried yesterday evening Android N. That didn't solve the drain (Maybe it's worst than before)
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] HoffaLompen:
Did you try the stock or cm version?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] thrawnfsa:
I tried :

Stock 10c, 10e, 10i, 20a (KDR & TWRP zip)

Rom 14.1 & O3.

The result varies from 4% standby drain to 12%.

Tonight, i have reflashed the O3 ROM, with no LG bloatware. I add "force Doze" and GSAM.

I disabled thanks to "Hide Apps" every apps (System one included) i could.

The result tomorrow morning. If it totally solves the drain, i would try to re enable App per App.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] molbor:
Any results?
