Greenify can kill most apps and suppress them from starting up without needing root. I mainly use it for apps I only occasionally use, or ones I know are misbehaving.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] G1Master:
(Yes this is the same post I did over at the "Real Life" review section....but this thread seems more active....sorry for double posting)

For whatever reason my LG V20 will not last no more than 19 hours with only 2 hours of screen on time.

Part of me wants to wait for 3rd Party battery companies to start making better batteries for this phone but at the same time this is a $800 phone...I should not have the need to replace the battery already....My 2 year old Moto Nexus 6 lasts way longer than this phone and I can game on it for a lot longer with out the battery having a huge impact. The LG just drains as I watch it.

I may not be giving this phone enough times to drain down to 0 but after having it since the 4th of November the battery life has been getting worse after every charge. I do make sure that the phone is using the "Fast Charging" by looking for the notification in the notification panel so I know its getting the full blast from the charges.

I am a heavy user but I've yet to push this phone to the "heavy usage" department reason being I still have my Nexus 6 with all the games and etc that I still want to play and use. So with that being said this LG V20 has been nothing but a form of communication for me for the past 2 weeks. Just using it for light texting, emailing and net browsing.

Not happy at all. More than likely I will be returning this phone today or tomorrow right before the 2 week mark to return for a full refund. Really is a shame. No more awesome phablets on the market...well at least within T-Mobile....and I was really hoping this phone would be replacing my aging Nexus 6.

I do have the Second Screen on all the time but I do use a belt holster to hold my phone. So the second screen does power off once the sensor is blocked. So it can't be the second screen. If I am not using my holster I lay the phone down on its face....which to me kind of defeats the purpose of having the second screen....

Am I wrong? Or does anyone else feel this way? I dunno maybe I am just still such a fan of my dual front facing speaker 6" monster Nexus 6. What to do what to do....
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcruse03:
I also had the nexus 6 and I must say battery life on the v20 has been pretty awesome. Yesterday I had 6 hours 20 minutes of sot out of a total 18 hours with 15 percent left. That's with varied brightness and usage, all radios on, location on high accuracy, and the second screen set to off when screen off. I'm not really doing anything other than that to boost battery life. It may just be your battery.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] @rbiter:
Using a gsm version? Like at&t or T-Mobile? I turn on lte/wcdmA only. You have to re do it if you reboot. That helps save some battery.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] G1Master:
Yea that could be a possibility...
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] exist2resist:
I have mine with WIND mobile in Canada here. Both WiFi and BT always on.

I get about 26 hours with moderate/medium usage.

I noticed some apps drain the battery though, for instance DSub is a music application that allows me to stream music from my home server makes the battery hot.

I also set Location services to Low Power and that greatly improved my battery life.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] bishmaster5000:
Sounds like you have a misbehaving app or a faulty phone. If it were me I'd do a factory reset, use the phone for a day with no apps and see if battery life is dramatically better or not. For comparison, I leave my 2nd screen on 24/7 and it doesn't appear to drain my battery. I'm getting a solid 2 days out of it, mostly streaming music. Even the first day I got it when I was using it constantly setting up all my apps I got 30 hours out of it.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] G1Master:
Yea I guess I could do that (Again by the way) to see if it'll help. But since I am about 1 day from the 2 week return period it would just be a waste of time because the phone's battery has not cycled through enough times from 0%-100%. Which usually takes a few days to do so.

But thanks for the suggestion.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] galaxy2055:
Hi,,

Can anyone tell us about tricks to improve battery life especially with standby
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] G1Master:
So...I could not return my phone because I was being a dummy....I thought I was still within the 2 week return period, but nope I was 2 days past it...

After 10 years with T-Mobile....Not their fault, entirely on my own....the best they could do for me was to do a warranty exchange on the phone.

My only complaint to them was the battery. The battery is notorious to me and guess what? They only sent a phone to me...that is it. Still have the old battery and again I spent days talking to them about the battery. Even the warranty exchange receipt shows that my complaint for the exchange was for battery problems.

I asked the T-Mobile Rep what to do now. She said to just keep returning it....wow....LG's Customer service was useless as well...
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] nadams:
I just want to add my thoughts. I ordered a V20 new through T-Mobile. Received it and everything seemed fine for a couple of days. Then I noticed that it would not charge to 100%. Also the battery seemed to drain pretty quickly (I mean I have several email accounts but something didn't seem right). I tried the charger that came with it and a different one. I believe the battery was bad. Contacted LG and they said, and I can't make this up, told me it's T-Mobile's problem. Contacted T-Mobile - it was within the 2 week period so instead of just sending out a new battery or crediting me to get a new battery - they sent out a whole new device.

The replacement seems to be ok - I've only had it for a couple of days.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] jbrew78:
Just wanted to add my experience with the V20 so far. I'm very impressed with the battery life and the camera. I went to an all day concert yesterday. I unplugged the phone at around 7:30 am yesterday. Shot multiple videos and and took several pictures throughout the day. Got home around midnight last night and phone was at about 30 percent battery with no charging during the day. Also video picture and sound quality was great when I watched a few of the videos when I got home.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheBigDogz:
I just tried using Greenify (an app in the play Store.). It seems to have helped.

I select which apps to force (automatically) hibernate after screen turns off. It has worked well for me so far... I am only on day 2 or 3 using Greenify though. I will continue to monitor my battery usage via Gsam Battery Monitor (an app in the play store) to see how things go.

I noticed a deeper color "doze" when I look at the battery % vs. time graph. I am not sure what it means... Maybe it is the equivalent of deep sleep.

I have included a screen capture for those who are interested. :cool:
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] KedarWolf:
The ForceDoze app on Google Play is a good option, it turns off the motion sensor so moving doesn't take it out of full doze mode. It also activates full doze mode as soon as you turn off the screen with no delay.

Also, go in 'Settings' 'Applications' and disable any app you can you don't use. I ignored the warning if you disable you might have problems and have no trouble after.

When you do when it says you want to disable the app choose yes, when it say you want to revert to stock app without updates choose no or it'll still be enabled, just without the updated version.

You don't want to revert to old version but disable it completely is why. It'll say 'Disabled' when you are done.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] KedarWolf:
Is losing 4% battery life in an hour with phone screen off, phone just sitting on a table the hour normal? :confused:

I ask because if it isn't I got it last weekend and can ask for a replacement. :rolleyes:
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] G1Master:
If you have read any of my comments on the forums, you will see that I am also dealing with high battery usage with this phone. Today has been the worse though for me. I am at work, same thing here, phone is on the desk (Cold desk by the way) and the phone is idling but its burning up for some reason.

Obviously something is keep it awake and causing the phone to shoot up in CPU power causing the phone to drain even quicker...$800 phones should not have this problem. Android has been around for 8+ years now so there is no excuse for this horrible optimization on LG's part.

They obviously rushed this product to have Android 7.0 and jumped on the chance to put their phone out there because of the Note 7 incident.

Just seems outright lazy and messed up to me...if I were you get that phone replaced ASAP!!! DO NOT wait like I did....Now I am stuck with returning this phone continuously in hopes that T-Mobile would just give up on the phone and give me my money back....10 years with them....and they treat me like a criminal or a liar but oh well I have some friends that can help me fight this. Already have.

Good Luck! The V20 is an awesome device but unfortunately just like anything else that is mass produced, it is inevitable that there is a batch of phones & batteries that are DOA...Dead On Arrival...
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] spexwood:
Forcedoze isn't doesn't work on 7.0 (AKA Android N). The developer says so in the app description.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] wtharp2:
No offense intended if you have already considered these things:

What's the wifi signal like where you are seeing this battery drain?

What's the signal look like for the cellular radios?

I just wonder if your V20 is hunting for signal.

I am not experiencing the weird battery drain issue you describe. I'm not an LG apologist, either -- just trying to help you enjoy your phone.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] G1Master:
Yea I have no idea either. As you can see from my name I've had Android since the early adoption days of the G1. So I say that to say this. I'm an Android enthusiast whom has tried everything other than to root this device to try save it's battery life. Nothing seems to work.

Still waiting for my replacement battery and I'm on my second V20. And this is what the phone is doing right now after 4 hours...
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Shaffer678:
Anybody else having issues with allo? Only does this with the v20. Been switching back and fourth between the 6p and v20 but the 6p will generally use 3 percent through a battery cycle with allo
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mikekelso421:
Better battery life than my note 5. Only got 4.5 hrs SOT at best on the note 5.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] KedarWolf:
Seems my battery life issue is due to wi-fi being on.

From 12:30 a.m. to 5:30 a.m. lost 2% with wi-fi off. Dunno why wi-fi sucks so much energy, going to check the settings.

Edit: Checked the settings, I want wi-fi on when the screen is off is why. I run streaming apps and stuff and forget to turn them off when I'm at work and/or home, don't want to use up my high speed data.. Still, uses a lot of juice. :eek:

Second edit: I pulled the battery out with phone on, waited ten seconds, put it back in. Now even with wi-fi on battery is doing great!! :D

Oh wait, I have ForceDoze turning wi-fi off using some of the features that work with Nougat. Let's see.

No wait, that setting is off, battery trouble solved!!
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] G1Master:
SO....after that weird day with my phone dying within 8 hours....I decided to do the 6th or 7th (not to sure) Factory Reset....

Instead of doing the reset through the phones setting>Backup & Reset option....I instead did the factory reset from the "Volume Up & Power Button" combination after a reboot and did it through that.

Now my phones battery seems a lot better. I achieved 3 hours SOT after 38 hours of battery usage. Not bad at all!

**EDIT**

Of course after I posted this. I needed to charge my phone. After it got to 100% I usually will do a Hard Shutdown and then reboot on all of my phones in the past including this V20. No idea if the reboot has caused the battery to start draining at an alarming rate once again....phone dropped to 70% in 1 hour after being charged fully....

So sick of this. No idea what to do now but to wait for my replacement battery. I am still unable to set up my phone like I want, launchers, icons, wallpapers, games, etc...because I feared that those things were causing a high battery drain but I guess not....Even with almost zero apps installed, not even XDA or Tapatalk installed, this phone still plunders to hell with its battery drain.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] KedarWolf:
I make sure Bluetooth, Location and Wi-Fi are all turned off. I lose maybe 10% 8 hours overnight max, even less I think. :D And a phone on battery pull hard reset might help too, I had bad drain until I did that. :rolleyes: That just means take the battery out with phone turned on.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Csetoue:
For those which rooted and are using custom rom, how much sot are u getting?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] KedarWolf:
I used the Hidden Menu code for my Freedom Mobile V20, change the Modem settings from 'Automatic' and in my case (Freedom Mobile uses AWS) to 'WCDMA AWS'. It seems to have helped battery life. I went from 11 p.m. to 8:30 a.m. and only went from 100% to 98%. And I had it unplugged for two days and it only went down to 63%, no on screen time. :D

If you mess up the settings and lose phone calls or mobile network in the Backup And Reset menu is a Network Reset option, use that. I think only Freedom Mobile uses WCDMA AWS, most carriers will be one of the LTE bands. :silly:
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] G1Master:
Excellent question here...any inputs on this ladies and gentlemen?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] suaverc118:
Part of the issue from my past experience is if you have poor service and you're on LTE, it will drain more. What I did was dropped mine to 3g overnight and my drain was 0-1%
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] efrommel:
Which is the better rom for battery life for the v20? im trying The OvrDrive Rom but im not getting more than 4 or 3.5 hours of SOT. I hate to keep seeing people with 5+ sot and me struggling to get more than 3 hours. Im checking my history and the screen is the biggest user of battery, no apps running in bg that i know of. Is my second day with the ROM and like my 3 or 4 charge, not sure how long i need to wait until the battery settles.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] G1Master:
Yea same here with using OverDrives roms. Not to bash on his rom. I will miss all of the customization that he has with that rom right now but I am sure in due time he will have a bad ass kernel and edits to help with the battery life.

I switched to NATF rom because of the incredible slim down (bloatware, etc) that NotATreoFan did and I believe that is what is allowing me to have 60+ hours of battery life.

Now I am only able to achieve 3+ hours of SOT but I am not using my phone very often and man this phone is sleeping like a baby now. That's with using a Stock Kernel that came with the rom and according to the release notes it the stock LG kernel for v10i.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Team DevDigitel:

Screen on most of the time
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] axaman943:
I always turn on Airplane mode when i go to sleep. some nights i have only 4% drain during Night time, this morning i had 16% battery drain to find out in battery statistics that Phone IDLE drained 10% and Android system drained 6% battery overnight...

Anybody can explain how they achieved to only have 1-2% drain overnight?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] kaphtc:
Hi, I don't have an exact answer for you but there's a cool thing you can try. To see whether it's the phone itself giving bad battery life as a stock or one of the third party apps you installed is causing that huge drain. You can test this by enabling "Safe Mode".

You can do this by

1. Press and hold the power button.

2. When you see the power options, again press and hold on the "Power Off" option and you'll see another option to turn on Safe Mode. Try to spend a day in this mode and see if you still get bad battery life.

Regards
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] KedarWolf:
I also go into Settings and Apps and disable any app I can I don't use. I disabled pretty much everything I could I don't actually use, got a warning on some of them I ignored and phone was fine afterwards. :)

LG v20

Hi xda, help me with the battery issue with lg v20. i am very disappoint with the battery performance. i hope you would action as soon as possible. #RECALL LG V20 BATTERY ISSUES.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] porscheoscar:
Five hours screen on time (SOT) at maximum brightness with the TrendOn battery from Amazon.

I am not rooted. Full bars on Verizon 4G.This was with use of the DAC. Will probably be closer to 5.5 hours once the final 5% is done.

I do not use the Facebook app. I do a 30 second reboot after every 8 hours of use to switch between one of my four batteries. Which is one reason I can get 5 hours SOT, I always avoid using the same battery two days in a row and I top up when I get down to 30-40% and unplug at about 80-90%.

I avoid wireless charging completely, that's just the highest heat and slowest charging... lose, lose.

Next I'm going to do a screen on time test at 50% brightness for 24 hours.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] AYHJA:
I'm a new v20 (stock, unrooted) user on Verizon. I love the device, but I'm most concerned about battery drain when I'm not using the phone. I charged the phone to 100% at midnight and sat it on the nightstand. When I woke up at 6:30 am, battery was already mid to low 80's.

All gsam points to as the culprit is Android OS and Android system. I have disabled all apps I don't use and the handful of apps I do use only burn battery when they're open.

Phone signal is always 3 bars or better. Wi-Fi signal is full. I expect that when I sit the phone down @ 100%, it shouldn't be less than 95%.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cubit33:
I see the same thing on my non-rooted stock sprint version. Nightly drain on wifi is 10-20% which seems insane to me when Nougat is supposed to feature the better doze mode. Standby drain definitely limits the screen on time I can get.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] AYHJA:
I'm probably going to do another factory reset. Accubattery says that my phone is deep sleeping only 35% of the time. Woke up this morning and the battery was at 68% after about 9hrs of nothing. After about 10 minutes of use, it has dropped to 52%. Screen brightness is on 18%.

It was doing fine for a while on the chart, and then it just started plunging. I hate doing these kinds of tests. According to the Android Battery screen, no apps are using battery. smh.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] MR.EXCEPTIONAL:
Hi

I hate My battery life -_-

As you see in screenshots , Finally I receive 4 hours Screen on time with low usage !

7% for Plus and 1% for instagram ! just this !

This battery life is too bad and I hope to LG will fix it ... -_-

I bought my phone 2-3week ago
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] AYHJA:
I put my phone in safe mode last night after a full charge and laid it down on the nightstand as usual. When I turned on the device some 9 hours or so later, I saw that it had used a whopping 0% of the battery.

That more than likely means that I have a bad app somewhere causing problems. Here are a list of apps that I have uninstalled preliminarily to see if I have drain tonight. If you and I have some of these in common, please do let me know. I realize that some of these are more likely to blame than the others, but they aren't in any sort of order.

Gasbuddy

Memrise

Khan Academy

Soundabout

Swarm

Upside

Walking Dead

Google Play Games

Barcode Scanner

Holy Bible

Drive Dodge

Firefox

Quora

If it continues tonight, I will likely target Microsoft Outlook and Onedrive before doing a factory reset and just starting over to install one by one.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cubit33:
Odd, I don't have any of those apps installed, or the Microsoft ones. I've got plenty others that could be causing problems though (Facebook, Snapchat, etc...) so I appreciate the safe mode tip.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SidXReigns:
Hi , I downloaded the CM 14 Android Nougat From the other Thread for My SAMSUNG GALAXY GRAND PRIME SM-G530H. It's running perfectly for me till date.

But I found a feature to be missing. It is the Theme Engine that comes prebundled in the previous versions of CyanogenMod. But in this Build , I found it to be missing. I'm a big of fan of theming the device , But in this version , I can't just do it. I tried Theme Engines of Older versions like CM 12 & CM13 But they didn't work because of the Compatibility.

I have been searching the internet for long to find the version for nougat , but didn't find a thing. I'm sure the feature is included and the developer just forgot to include it while cooking the ROM .

So Can anyone Upload the Extracted Theme engine for Nougat or add the Link which it can be download ?.....Any Help would be appreciated ??
