[LG G5 Questions & Answers] autoprime:
I am also seeing similar results as OP. Wifi has a much higher idle drain than LTE... but not on all networks. I will have to play around with my router to see if there's a setting I can enable/disable that may fix this... not gonna swap my router out just over this odd incompatibility.

This is with H830.

Will update post if I find a specific fix.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Smithfolk4:
I originally posted that I didn't think that I had higher standby battery drain on wifi, but now I am not so sure. When I am home - on wifi - my drain rate is always pretty high. When I am away from the house I sometimes have long periods when the standby drain is not so bad and sometimes when it is.

I have been trying to figure out battery usage using the Google Battery Historian tool which can give you a lot of info. Unfortunately I don't understand a lot of it. What battery drain seems to be related to are a few things including what network you are on, signal strength, and some other things like phone state that I don't really understand.

The only think that makes me think that it may not be wifi is that on one occasion, while at home, I turned wifi off and battery drain stayed high. It may have been influenced by the network signal strength or which network I was on though.

One thing I have learned from the battery historian is that the Google Services is a large source of drain that we could stop if we had root. It has the most wakelocks, alarms, battery use, etc, by far. Google Services is always at the top.

I have also seen that sometimes the phone gets in a state where it won't go into deep sleep and the only way to get it to go into deep sleep is to reboot. The only way I am sure of this is that in GSAM is shows a high value for held awake. When deep sleep isn't working battery drain is higher. If I reboot, from this state, held awake is reduced by a lot. My suspicion is that this has something to do with Google, but I am not sure.

Edited to change Play Store to Google Services. Sorry about that.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] BabelHuber:
I also have the impression that WiFi drains more battery than LTE.

I guess WiFi causes more wakelocks (see screenshots). But I have to doublecheck this.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] jlpotter76:
Has anyone determined what is causing this issue or any other troubleshooting I can perform to determine the exact cause?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] ryanpm40:
I've noticed that my phone dies much quicker if I leave wifi turned on while using mobile. More so than other phones I've had.

Mine dies slightly faster when using wifi over data , but I assume that's due to my crappy internet that cuts out every 5 mins or less for like 1-2 ms at a time.

Also, guys, if you're worried about wake lock, just get greenify and turn on Aggressive Doze. Goes into Doze within minutes

That an absolutely affect it. There's a possibility your phone is switching between them depending on where you are on the house, or even the slightest network hiccup. I've always had a network with "-2.4" and "-5" at the end of two ssids

I'm having the same problem....my phone used to be fine. and then I installed a wink smart hub...to control lights and plugs in my home...it worked for a few days...and I tryed to connect a few more plugs to the network of a different brand..... and I believe this fried my tp link wireless router aw well as my phone gets very hot on any new wifi source........ wtf!?!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] yuvi100:
So one day I try to take a video using my stock camera app on my No-root S7 edge but it doesn't work.

The app can take pictures but nothing video related. I tried a different camera app and the video worked fine, so I figured this was not a hardware problem.

I wanted to use the video related features in the stock camera app like video collage so I decided to reset the phone.

This helped and the video worked fine with the camera stock app I started installing all my apps and after a few hours I discovered the problem returned.

Eventually I manged to isolate the problem and to make a long story short if you have this problem or know of someone who do, the problem is a clash with Audio Management Applications. I don't know if this has anything to do with the volume up and down buttoned being used to control things on the camera but once I uninstalled the apps the video started working again.

To make sure I tried 2 different apps one is Audio Manager Pro and the other is Smart Volume Control+.

With any one of these application the video feature in the stock camera app crush, uninstall the audio control app and the video works fine.

Well, based on multiple requests I've picked up and am now hosting the ZVB .tot file on Rwilco12.com

Short link to it: http://rwilco12.com/downloads.php?dir=Files/Devices/LG G4 (LS991)/Stock ROMs/ZVB

Note: Anti-Rollback version is incremented in ZVB. You will be unable to revert to earlier builds after update.

Enjoy!
[Sprint LG G4] tabp0le:
life saver! THANK YOU!

Here's a mirror: https://qui.click/LS991ZVBTOT
[Sprint LG G4] Agimax:
Should there be a note on this OP -that once you use this TOT you can never go back to previous versions (ZV6 / ZV9 / ZVA). You will be stuck at MM ZVB and up.
[Sprint LG G4] garwynn:
Didn't know that - I'll add it in though for now.

Even using Flash Tool or LGUP won't get you back?
[Sprint LG G4] tabp0le:
Nope. It throws an error saying that the anti-rollback version is higher than the version you are trying to flash.

Install my MellowMallow ROM global version. It will fix that. http://xdaforums.com/sprint-g4/development/rom-mellowmallow-debloated-60fps-camera-t3358340
[Sprint LG G4] br0adband:
Just curious so forgive me, I just got my G4 the other day and I've been doing a ton of research as expected when it comes to ROMs, root, and unlocking. Let me ask you this if I can:

Since I have the LS991, knowing it's technically domestically locked to Sprint in the US, and you say your ROM is a global version, does that mean if I decide to upgrade to your ROM (of course pushing ZVB first then your ROM with the instructions you've provided) will that remove the unlock I currently have in place with the International ROM, or will I be completely stuck and dead in the water again locked up tight with no way to roll back to anything pre-ZVB and no root potential either? I can live without root, honestly the only thing I require it for is Xposed and a single module so I can control music playback with the volume buttons (can't find any other way to do it) but I can't even get Xposed installed properly on ZV6 right now either even with FlashFire.

Long complicated BS I know, sorry, the basic question: if I were to flash the ZVB TOT then flash your MellowMallow ZVB, will it unlock this LS991 I have, or... should I just stick with ZV6 and be done with it? :D

I believe you have an LS991 yourself but, you're obviously using Sprint so it's a non-issue whereas I want to use T-Mobile so, my primary concern is being able to be unlocked, that's a must-have thing whereas root is a no-go on Marshmallow right now anyway.
[Sprint LG G4] tabp0le:
Yes, you should be able to do as you'd like. The global version unlocks the phone for GSM use. You can add and edit any apns you like. There are several people who have been using the Global version successfully. I'm not sure about using it on T-mobile, and I can't make any guarantees, but I would assume you could use it just as any other GSM carrier. I also have a ZVA version you can try. (this is marshmallow and will not prevent rollback) ZVA Version
[Sprint LG G4] br0adband:
Yah, but ZVA has no root so, no Xposed, so no button controls, etc. :(

Anyway, I know about the International ROM and had it working and yes T-Mobile kicks in almost immediately without any issues, but from what I read about that ROM is that the person that made it obviously customized it somewhat and I saw at least one person say the reason it unlocks GSM capability is because of some build.prop edits and I'm trying to figure out what those edits happen to be. I'd love to be able to take a pure stock ZV6 and then root it, modify it so it works like the International ROM and go from there.

The problem I'm having currently is that I can't get Xposed flashed on the International ROM for some strange reason I can't quite figure out - each time I try to flash it there's a mismatch between the architecture/platform and it craps out. That doesn't happen with the rooted ZV6, but it's happening with the International ZV6 which irks me to no end and I can't find out what's causing the issue or else I'd just stick with the International one.

If the only difference between the pure stock ZV6 build and the International version of the same build is a a build.prop edit I'm going to have to figure out what the hell that is. :confused:

I just want to end up with ZV6, rooted, Xposed installed and working, and T-Mobile access which I should be able to accomplish - the problem is finding the right combination of this, that, and whatever else to make it all come together. So far, after like 15 wipes and flashes, I still haven't figured out that perfect mix to get what I want just yet.

But thanks for responding. ;)
[Sprint LG G4] tabp0le:
Ahh, I understand! Yeah, what you need to do is replace all instances of "p1_spr_us" in builld prop with "p1_global_com". (no quotes) Also, replace all instances of SPR with GLOBAL and change target country to COM. Then add the apns. https://github.com/tabp0le/MellowMa...40e511396bc298e37fb5/system/etc/apns-conf.xml

Here is an example for you to go off of.. https://github.com/tabp0le/MellowMallowROM-for-G4-LS991/compare/global
[Sprint LG G4] br0adband:
Holy cow, a treasure trove of info, just what I'd been looking for. :)

So, theoretically if I make those adjustments to the build.prop, that theoretically should make the pure stock ZV6 (from the TOT since there's no KDZ, bleh) be basically the International ROM or at least function like it, I presume?

One thing that I'm kinda frustrated above was when I got this device a few days ago the previous owner had done most if not all of this already and had UltraPOP ZVA on it, and working with T-Mobile. Of course in my haste to redo everything on my own I neglected to make a solid backup of the carrier folder (it still works with the one the unlocking thread provided so I'm not dead in the water in that respect). I looked around for a "pure" LS991 carrier folder but I suppose there just isn't such a thing and yes I know they do contain some device and user specific information (account related with Sprint) so I suppose it's not a huge concern.

Last question if I can: I'm not all that familiar with attempting to edit TOT files (assuming that can be done) so, is it possible or do you believe that altering the necessary build.prop variables on the pure stock ZV6 would cause that to work the same after a reboot? Guess I'll give that a go here in a few and see what happens. Also, when you say add the apns do you mean to build.prop or put the xml file in system/etc where it should be?

Almost there, almost... thanks for the info, definitely.
[Sprint LG G4] tabp0le:
Regarding the apns: Replace the apns_conf.xml in system/etc.

Regarding TOT: you can't edit the tot

What you need to do to get exactly what you want: Root ZV6. Then make the changes and reboot. Or harder way, is to edit the rootedsystemzv6.img. Mount it on your pc and edit the files. Then flash it like you would to get root in download mode with send_command.exe. You can add me on skype tabp0le
[Sprint LG G4] br0adband:
Didn't realize I could edit the .img files but then again .img being what they should be that makes sense I suppose. That's probably the best solution for me personally, edit the rootedsystemzv6.img so it's done just once and it makes things easier or at least it should if I have to redo things.

Now to find something that will not only open the img but allow me to edit/save it when done.
[Sprint LG G4] tabp0le:
If you are using windows, download OSF Mount and Ext2Fsd. Mount with OSF mount after installing Ext2Fsd. Uncheck the read-only checkbox in osf mount. Then make changes. (it will be a drive next to your other hard drives in "This PC') Then unmount, copy the image over and flash away!

Can I use this to downgrade my LG GS991 ZVB from marshmallow to lollipop? is there anything else i need? Thanks!
[Sprint LG G4] hodgestl:
No, once you are at ZVB, there is currently no known way of downgrading, not to ZVA, not to ZV9, not to ZV6, nothing at all. Please do just a little reading and researching.
[Sprint LG G4] tjoel2012:
Thanks for the reply. I am a little confused. ZVB is only for Marshmallow on the G4? I mean, isn't there a ZVB firmware on Lollipop? If i wish to downgrade to Lollipop i should find a lgls991 lollipop zvb TOT right? does that exist? Thank you!
[Sprint LG G4] garwynn:
No, you might be confusing ZVB for the G3, which IIRC was 5.x

as back to this version? just enter the toto in the lgup and upgrade? I'm in Mellowmallow but I need to get back to stock
[Sprint LG G4] amitesh raj:
Sur im currently on zv6 and super su is installed...means. The phone is rooted. ..so can i directly flash the zvb rom ??

As because. As far as i know in the recovery mode it accepts only .zip files for flashing.....so how to flah a tot file??(i dont have a pc).:eek:

And is ur rom globally unlocked means im from india....so can i use gsm simcards..
[Sprint LG G4] aamszia:
Root and UNLOCk possible on this version ?
[Sprint LG G4] garwynn:
No, this acts like a reimage. Flash individual partitions instead as necessary.
[Sprint LG G4] garwynn:
Root I believe yes. Not aware of any bootloader unlock.
[Sprint LG G4] KingFatty:
Is the TOT file the one we should, just as a safety precaution, copy onto a folder on the internal memory of the phone?

I just remember in the past there was general advice to keep a copy of some kind of file, a ROM or tot or something, in case your phone gets messed up so you already have a stored copy ready to fix the phone. But that was back in ZV6 timeframe. Currently, I have ZVB, so I want to make sure I have a safety backup of whatever file is needed to fix the phone in case file corruption occurs, any advice which file and where to download? Apologies if this info is already posted elsewhere, but I recall previously the information was about ZV6 and so is not relevant to those on ZVB?
[Sprint LG G4] tech_0912:
Does upgrading to ZVB and then flashing the international version allow access to the hidden APN menu? I'm getting a replacement in the mail Wednesday evening and I don't know if they'll ship it updated completely. My old phone had the wifi hotspot exploit from ZV6 updated to ZVA. I never took the ZVB update not knowing if I would lose the hotspot. If it comes updated to ZVB, is there anything I can do to get back to the hidden menu to add "dun" to the APN?
[Sprint LG G4] anandandrade:
also can i change apn /root explorer/....will it still be rooted and and can i access shortcut master. i short can i still have the root access??

did any one try this???

[Sprint LG G4] KingFatty:
Hmm I get the impression that the author of that article is misinformed. Or maybe they just omit all the caveats that only the ZV6 version of the Sprint phone can be rooted (where you can downgrade to ZV6 to root if you are on higher versions below ZVA), but it's impossible if you are on ZVA, ZVB, or ZVC?
[Sprint LG G4] Tyranicy:
how come when i download it, it downloads as a .7z file and now a .tot file. Is there anyway to convert it? because when i extract the .7z file it becomes a .dz file
[Sprint LG G4] garwynn:
Extract the 7z in 7zip to get the TOT. (It is compressed to minimize storage/bandwidth)
[Sprint LG G4] sk8global:
No DATA with international SIM

Any reason why DATA does not work with international SIM cards? I have tried on 3 different LS991 and 2 different carriers both from Mexico. APNs are entered correctly but no data icons or data at all. Calls and sms work fine. :confused:
[Sprint LG G4] smashclash:
Can you go back from ZVC to ZVB?

one of our lg g4 s will not boot.. it's not rooted. I can get to recovery and download mode without any problem. it's android 6.0 zvc. can I try using this?

thanks in advance
[Sprint LG G4] hurstian:
My phone can't be recognized by LGUP. So I put it into "download" mode then LGUP can see it. Unfortunately, LGUP still won't display the refurbish menu. It has "Update", "PRL Update", "Phone Setting" and one other selection. Had anybody seen this before?

BTW, does anybody know whether it is the same to flash it under normal mode vs under "download" mode?

Thanks.
[Sprint LG G4] hurstian:
Hi Garwynn,

When I connected to LG G4 ZVC under "download" mode, I see update as the only pertinent option there. Could I use "udpate" to flash it back to ZVB? Understand I suppose to use "refurbish", but that option is not available.

BTW, has anybody successfully flashed ZVC back to ZVB yet?

Many thanks
[Sprint LG G4] hurstian:
just fyi, in case LGUP won't recognize your phone, you can still use "download" mode with it. It worked well for me and I finally flashed it back to ZVB from ZVC with no issue.
[Sprint LG G4] KingFatty:
Hurstian, thanks for your continued activity in this thread. I plan to follow your lead and try to install ZVB on my ZVC phone, so that I can then try the MallowMushroom ROM mod thing.

Why are you putting ZVB on your phone? If you are doing MallowMushroom too, please let us know how it goes.
[Sprint LG G4] phast2:
Must download this ZVB .tot file first?

I am still a bit confused: I am on Sprint LS991 ZVC and I understand I must download/install this ZVB .tot file before I can then download/install the ZVB MellowMallow, correct? I ask because I am [supposedly/hopefully] following all the instructions to download this ZVB .tot file but it always fails. Luckily, my phone still reboots and is still intact with ZVC. If my understanding is correct, I can then dive deeper into why I can't get this ZVB .tot to download.

Edit/Added: I did a search and saw there is now maybe a "preferred" method of downloading .tot files using LGUP instead of LG Flash Tool (which is the method I tried to use)? So, my next try at this .tot file should be the LGUP method?
[Sprint LG G4] KingFatty:
When you say "download" that got me thinking - are you sure your ZVB .tot is good? Maybe the file is corrupt when you obtained it, so the phone refuses it? Otherwise, when you say "download" I think you are referring to loading the tot file onto the phone, right? You were able to obtain the tot file without issue?
[Sprint LG G4] phast2:
KingFatty: Well, good point. I'm fairly certain I downloaded the .tot file successfully onto my computer, but it won't hurt for me to try that again. In fact, I think I saw a second site from which I can obtain it. I actually said "download/install," and I think my issue is with installing (or loading) it onto the phone.

So is LGUP or LG Flash Tool the preferred method now?

Thanks for the reply.

P.S. I also did say just "download" originally, so sorry for the confusion.

P.P.S. LGUP worked fine to install the TOT onto my phone. I am good to go now. Thanks again.
[Sprint LG G4] cthedogg:
I had my LS991 on Stock ZVC and tried to go lower versions to recover since it didn't want to go past the factory reset I did. Just says Android is starting optimizing apps 1 of 49.

I put the phone to download mode and tried to install ZVB and it installs and goes back to Android is starting. Tried it like 5 times already. I try and go to recovery and it just goes the android like when you are upgrading to a higher version then restarts.
