Standby time wears on you depending on what apps you got running

?????
[LG G6 Real Life Review] joyj112:
I found the culprit. Apparently one of my skin apps was causing wakelocks keeping the phone awake the whole time. Deleted it and installed greenify, will see how things goes
[LG G6 Real Life Review] chinchillables:
No I did not. Heck, I didn't even know I COULD do that. That'll be my objective before tonight though, thanks!
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Jeremiah Bonds:
I love Greenify's aggressive doze
[LG G6 Real Life Review] mr mystery:
Does Greenify help? I get some seriously terrible standby drain going. Is it LG software that's so bad?
[LG G6 Real Life Review] shaun0207:
What exactly did you set to inactive? Which apps?

---------- Post added at 10:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:49 AM ----------

Me too
[LG G6 Real Life Review] joyj112:
Honestly dont know how to fix this standby drain.. If ibhad root i would easily find the culprit through betterbatterystats but since i dont have that, cant seem to figure out why my standby drain is so high. I would leave my phone on the desk at 30% not using it all and come back 2 hrs later to 16%. Horrible standby time means losing precious screen on time sad sad
[LG G6 Real Life Review] mr mystery:
Use Greenify to force Hibernate Quick Memo+. Seems to have solved my standby drain issues.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] joyj112:
The problem is Quick Memo+ isnt the problen because i dont even have that application. I did a factory reset and it got rid of the app so I dont know what to do
[LG G6 Real Life Review] shaun0207:
Do you need root for Greennify? I would like to start using it.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] joyj112:
You can use greenify by plugging your phone into your computer and use adb commands
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Jeremiah Bonds:
No root needed.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] mr mystery:
You must have it. It's baked into the OS. Look in the essentials folder of the LG (iOS) Home it'll be there
[LG G6 Real Life Review] shaun0207:
Don't really know how to use ADB commands. But I will try to figure it out
[LG G6 Real Life Review] shahper1:
I have the same problem in mine G5 F700L. Over the night it will drain almost 60% on idle.

One thing I noticed that all korean apps installed cannot be battery optimized since these shows as ignored in battery optimization and cannot be unchecked.

How android allows the careers to do such nonsence, the way they make changes to system which totally runs against its design. I am planning on trading away this Korean G5 crap which is beyond me and don't even have root or international ported rom to deal with this situation.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] jimrfraser:
What the heck?On a 8hr bed time i wake up with only 2 percent gone and thats with max bright always on display.All these guys with such battery drains is obviously human error.Its not the phone believe me.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Percy247:
Trust me it’s not human error. After numerous factory resets, bloatware removal, no apps installed and even in flight mode my H870DS loses at least 2-3% of battery an hour whilst phone in standby.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Brontok:
I am losing around 8% per night (gps off, data on, sync on, AOD off). Stock rom (Nougat) - no root. So far so good.

edit: I went back to good old huawei mate 9. Losing 1-2% during the night. 1.10min SOT with 90% of battery remaining :)
[LG G6 Real Life Review] jshames:
I know much has been said about idle battery drain, but I have found that there is a HUGE difference between ACTUAL idle drain (phone sitting completely still continuously, no media playing), and 'minimal use idle' (phone in pocket moving around, removal from pocket, occasional/infrequent checking of messages). I think just being carried around activates sensors, GPS, etc, and with the occasional wakes, causes significant battery consumption--although still at an acceptable level. In contrast when my phone is really just sitting still doing nothing for a protracted period (even face up with AOS), the drain decreases signicantly-- to about 0.7% per hour (after accounting for the uneven drop from 100 to 99%) . I think that this is what manufacturers mean by "standby time".
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Baijoosharma:
without net on, AOD 1% in 6Hrs

---------- Post added at 10:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:52 AM ----------

Agree
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Percy247:
Now had my H870DS for 14 months and standby drain varies wildly but I stopped worrying about it a long time ago. The phone needs charging every night yet always gets me through the day. No cellular reception or a weak reception seems to hit standby drain hard as does having mobile data on. I have noticed a slight improvements in standby drain after upgrading to oreo and subsequent V20c and V20d updates. My advice, don’t worry about stainby drain, charge your phone nightly and take a charger/cable with you if are going to use the phone intensively. There are more important things to worry about in life!
[LG G6 Real Life Review] sun_is_shinning:
well, one thing to say in this thread: no one is going to have the same battery drain whatsoever....

Take my G6 as example:

Sometimes i charge it 0 - 100 and get almost 4h SoT, leave it 12 hours without touching it, screen side down to disable sensors and Always on Display and idle drasin can go from nothing, 0% in 12 hours to 2-3% idle drain for 12 hours.

other times, i charge it from 30-40% to 100 and gettin about 5:30 SoT and idle drain 1-2 per 12 hours, and the "100%" bug is there, i mean i can use the phone for about 20 minuts and 100% battery still there, use different apps and things and always gettin this, when in 99% they drop like a freak in couple minuts like i can go all down to 80 in 10 minuts after that 100% things (isnt proved is a bug but i call it, because is more like that).

So, the battery is good for what
[LG G6 Real Life Review] jshames:
Agree 100%.

I have never run out of juice in the middle of my day, no matter how heavy I use the phone.

If I have an opportunity to "top off" with a car or wall charger I take advantage.

Sure it would be nice to have a 4000 mah battery like the Xiaomi but we don't. And no software tweak is going to give us one.

There is a selection bias in these forums towards enthusiasts who like to eek out every ounce of power and features they can get from their phones and that's ok, but honestly for most of us its just not an issue.

With the latest Oreo updates I have even reverted to the LG Camera by default because it has really improved.

The G6 is a great bargain, in the field of brand name phones (not against Xiaomi, which is in its own class because they sell their phones at no profit). But LG has not been as good at marketing as has Samsung so they really are under rated.

Waiting for the G7 to come down in price.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Mefiboshet:
Seems fine

5 hours SOT, 50 hours total, 5% remaining.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] farfromuman:
I had Wakelocks from CarrierIQ, disabled it and it improved. Occasionally Chase Banking and Storm both will cause random wakes of around 20-30 minutes a day even when not in use that day. The stock battery tool does not tell you any if this information so I am using BetterBatteryStats with ABD command to enable logging.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] vctrrl:
I've been loosing around 3-4% PER HOUR. About 40% of drain overnight. Better Battery Stats shows that wlan_rx_wake keeps the phone awake around most of the time. I cannot root the phone on my region and I've already tried almost everything including assigning a static IP (both on the phone and modem/router), reset the phone, disabling IGMP snooping on the router, etc.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] sagor1:
I have been facing 20-25% night standby drain for last 2-3months.Last night when i force to stop Youtube Vanced, it's drain as usual 5-6%.

What a relief for me.?
[LG G6 Real Life Review] nash211:
I don't know what you are doing with your phones, I can charge mine to 100% wake up in the morning, usually 6-7 hours later. Still 100%. sometimes 98 %. All I do is use adb to remove some bloatware . Only time I have drain if my Asus watch is on and uses some battery connecting Bluetooth.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Percy247:
What settings are people using to get only 1-2% standby drain overnight? Is this with WiFi off and aeroplane mode on? With WiFi on I lose about 4% per hour with wlan rx and netlink wakelocks limiting the time the device is in deep sleep. Turning off WiFi, I then lose about 2% per hour with the wakelocks removed and deep sleep goes up to 99% of the time.

Why am I still losing 2% an hour? I am using better battery stats and I noticed under the sensors heading that google play services is activating motion sensors for over 6 1/2 hours in whilst I am asleep. Could this be causing the drain? If so is there a way to turn off motions sensors on the phone. I have cleared the cache in google play services and will see if this makes any difference. Would removing some of the apps permissions help? Would uninstalling google plays services updates possibly help and if so how do you do it? When I go into app preferences and select uninstall updates, it fails. Is there another setting that I need to enable so that this works?

I have already removed a lot of the bloatware and unnecessary apps using adb commands. The phone has always dropped 20-30% overnight since new and I have never been able to find out why.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Whinston34:
My LG 6 sips battery drain remarkably efficiently; although it's set to close unused programs and their cache at regular, often preset intervals.

The options to schedule optimization depends on the chosen applications and their settings, though it's good fortune that this work-horse has been so efficient: in my experience.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] adorable:
My H873 on 8.0 stays at nearly the same percentage at night 0-2% change consistently. Only time it uses a bit more is when there are notifications coming in through a messaging app; I have my screen time out at 2 minutes, so the display will turn on for that long.

...

Other settings and setup of my phone:

https://ibb.co/QpFG11w

Just as a baseline for those comparing methods to save battery life running opera mini for a few hours with data saving and ad block on on 4g lte T-Mobile.

H873 on 8.0 h = 5~ hours Screen on time.

Always on display on

Auto brightness on

Wifi, bt, location, sync off.

No energy hogging social apps like fb, insta.

Only Twitter and line. Twitter has all notifications, background updates off.

Disabled most of the installed apps I don't use - Google mostly (search, news, music, games, gboard, etc) and many of the other preinstalled like fb, evernote.

Auto sync disabled globally.

Only Line checking, T-Mobile Tuesday's notifications allowed in background..else, turned off in other apps.

In location , Only GPS allowed, not cell tower!

Only turn on location when using maps, else turn off.

Google play - no auto update check, no play protect checking, no auto updating. Let Google auto anything and it'll suck up battery life.

Installed office, skype, onedrive, office lens, Firefox, edge, line, k9 email, opera, opera mini, here maps, as major apps - auto anything / background turned off in all of them.

Everyday, run smart cleaning to clear memory and kill background apps.

....

All that has been all I've done for other phones I've owned.

Heavy daily web browsing pushing 40+GB/month (without videos, music) - just web, email, Line mostly. Some music and navigation daily - 1 hour or less.

Since the last security update, my phones been overheating and losing battery really fast... Ive done the factory reset but its still a problem.... Any ideas what to do :(
[LG G6 Real Life Review] SkylineDiT:
Google play services are killing my battery during night it drains 10% of battery. During day I am experiencing sudden battery drops 20 % and more in 1H. Maybe someone knows how to solve problem.

here is screenshots

[LG G6 Real Life Review] EMJI79:
You could have software issue or if you have an old device battery should be changed.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Sid@developer:
Try a factory reset...and also try updating to Pie if the update in your country is released.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] SkylineDiT:
I already tried factory reset but it helped for a few days. I am already using Pie. Sudden battery drains started in Oreo after month. I am using accubattery and it shows sometimes that when screen is off it uses same amount of power, like screen is on. I've tried safemode wont help. I dont think it's battery problem, because I am experiencing sudden drops then it normalizes. It drains fast from 80% to 50% then it starts normally discharging slowly.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Sid@developer:
Is your phone rooted ?
[LG G6 Real Life Review] SkylineDiT:
No, so I cant see any info about wavelocks. But I am planning rooting, because I warranty expires in a few days
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Sid@developer:
Well..After rooting.... And unloading Bootloader...Use Naptime app...which uses force doze and reduces idle battery drain.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] SkylineDiT:
I have tried new pie install using LGUP. I hope it helps is it a software glich
[LG G6 Real Life Review] adorable:
Try settings, mobile data, google anything (play, etc), and turn off background data!

(It might be related to downloading crap at night behind your back, especially app updates.)

In Google play store, settings, Auto Update Apps, turn it off!

(All that auto updating isn't necessary every day. Check once a week or month at most manually.)

In Settings, apps, google play store, go to the Permissions and turn them all off.

(Location activates gps/agps, and will suck up battery fast.)

...

Follow my prior post in this thread and you'll get 0% battery drop overnight like me all the time.

Doesn't hurt to CLOSE ALL apps (foreground and background), then Settings, general, Smart Cleaning before bed. This kills the running apps that gobble energy.

(Although you might have an infection from a Trojan if you go into Airplane mode before sleep, Smart clean, and kill all apps AND the battery life is stool dropping fast overnight.)
[LG G6 Real Life Review] SkylineDiT:
Thanks for a advice. I have flashed stock android PIE .kdz . So I dont have trojan.

I rooted my phone and installed grenify. Now I get 4-5 % battery with Mobile data and autosynch-on. After few weeks of testing I came to conclusion that I have not very good battery it's real capacity after testing is about 2400-2500 mAh
[LG G6 Real Life Review] EMJI79:
That's what I had told you.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] adorable:
Having used Pie 9.0 on my H873 for a few weeks, the standby drain is still effectively 0% after 8 hours of sleep.

This is with all my usual changes made - GPS/WIFI/BT/NFC off all the time unless in use, auto-update in Play Store off, auto-update of app data (email etc) OFF, all the unused and energy-sucking apps disabled or uninstalled (Google everything except play store, many LG things, no FB/Insta).... Background data use turned OFF for all apps except the ones I want to - eg. Skype, line, K9, text.

Pretty much unless I initiate data use, the only programs checking are Skype, Line, K9, text messaging.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] jshames:
On the LG G6 battery life, the only consistent thing has been the inconsistency. I have found no clear reason why some days the battery drain is ridiculously fast, barely lasting half a work day, and other days very slow.

My device is now over 2 years old, and recently I had become convinced that the battery has deteriorated, because I was getting progressively worse battery life during the day. But then suddenly and inexplicably it improved significantly in just the last few days.

This obviously points to a software issue. I don't know if some google or other app update came in the last few days that slowed down the drain, but suddenly my battery life is excellent like the phone was when it was new

Go figure
[LG G6 Real Life Review] SkylineDiT:
I have changed few Custom ROMs, I think problems lies somewhere in Kernel. I think phone cant get into deep sleep state. Because sometimes in deep sleep I get 0%/h discharge and sometimes 1.2%/h
[LG G6 Real Life Review] jshames:
Sounds right...

Now I'm back to high battery drain LOL
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Jostian:
I use greenify and my standby time is excellent, during the night (8 hours or so) the battery only drops 1 to 2%, which is great, I do disable wifi when I go to bed though. my SOT is about 6hrs and my 'time since last charge is 85 hours with 8% battery left), I do control which apps have access to background data.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Jeremiah Bonds:
That's great.. Do you hibernate the apps?
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Jostian:
Yes I do
[LG G6 Real Life Review] jakeyo:
The past couple of days for me my battery life has been good I would finish up my day with around 60% left.

Currently I'm on 67 with 2hr 10 min SOT bit 15 hours off the charger and at work walking in a low reception area for 8 hours of the day.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Jeremiah Bonds:
which apps are you hibernating? and do you have auto hibernate on?
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Jostian:
Maps, camera, Facebook, Instagram, memo, music etc.

---------- Post added at 09:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:19 PM ----------

In Greenify yes I have auto hibernate on
[LG G6 Real Life Review] chanakyashah:
I'm getting a 5% drain after 8 hours of standby. And this includes NO aod and the wifi on. I don't know if this normal for the LG, but my other phones S7 and Redmi Note 4 are around 1 to 2% standby drain.

Is there a way besides Greenify?
[LG G6 Real Life Review] joyj112:
Try going into your wifi setting and turn off keep wofi awake when screen off. I realized when wifi is on i get horrible standby drains. I went to bed with 93% and woke up with 90% after 8hrs standby. Losing .4%/hr on standby
[LG G6 Real Life Review] chanakyashah:
This is strange. I had literally only 1% drain in 8 hours after switching off the WiFi, I wonder what would the drain be if I was not on LTE and switched to regular gsm (2g) network.

But isn't this an issue? My previous S7 never had so much drain with the same settings.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] apfrost:
I use greenify too which helps a bit however I'm looking forward to the day when we can get a more efficient kernel and a few annoyances tweaked. I think the phone would be real good with an optimized rom.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] mr mystery:
Not sure what happened but my G6 sh*t the bed big time last night even with ForceDoze set to turn off wifi. Over 8 hours I lost 57%. Not cool
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Killua96:
Really bad standby on mobile, perfect in wifi.

Where i work there the signal is low, but it's impossible that's the only cause for this orrible battery drain in stanby. 7 Hours of usage, from 100% to 56% with almost 1 hour of display on. Phone idle, Android System and Android Operative System have the hightes percentage in settings. According to BetterBatteryStats the Device is for half the time at the minimum frequency but not in deep sleep. Same thing happened with G5, which was a bit worst, but at least it had a removable battery. In the same place a S8+ does a lot better staying at 80% with same on screen time...
[LG G6 Real Life Review] mr mystery:
Usually having ForceDoze turn off WiFi fixes for my standby drain, only had the one occurence thus far when it got buggy and drained 57%. This is an Android 7.0 issue is it not? Pixel and Nexus had the same problems on 7.0 7.1.1 was the fix.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Jeremiah Bonds:
Didn't have this issue with the V20. That thing slept like a baby.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Jostian:
I lose about 2 to 3%during the night over 8 hrs, I use Greenify which helps too, but my standby drain is minimal even b4 I used Greenify.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] PieceofSlice:
My G6 stayed at 100% all night with WiFi on and mobile off. Pretty good if I do say so myself.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] rubiicon59:
Try it tonight with the charger unplugged :p
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Gasaraki-:
Who's they? How is LG going to know what apps you are using that's draining your power? :confused:
[LG G6 Real Life Review] EMJI79:
When totally inactive standby drain can be pretty low, near 0% but when waking up the phone regularly like every 30 minutes or 1h, idle state drain grows pretty fast. Somebody know how to solve that? Changing doze settings or else?
[LG G6 Real Life Review] @albert:
One of the things I noticed was that if I leave it at night with WiFi on and an app open (Nova Launcher welcome screen), my G6 battery went down from 100% (2am) to 90% (8am).
[LG G6 Real Life Review] WAIDroid:
Uninstall the Nova launcher and then see what you get but only for testing purposes...
[LG G6 Real Life Review] @albert:
I did. Battery life went back to normal.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] WAIDroid:
Told ya. Ashame we want to use a different launcher only to find out they just drain battery. Only way to fix it is to root the phone :rolleyes:
[LG G6 Real Life Review] just lou:
FWIW, Nova has had zero affect on my G6's battery.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Jostian:
Same here, Nova has no impact on my battery.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] WAIDroid:
Hmm i guess Android found a way to stop this...
[LG G6 Real Life Review] just lou:
My battery drain at night had been minimal. About 4% per 8 hours. Last night, my phone drained 45% in under 8 hours. Battery stats gave me no clue to what might have caused it. No apps were listed. I have a hunch it was the Foscam IP Cam app since I had been using it earlier. I rebooted the phone, and drain is back to normal.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] joyj112:
I have accubattery and better battery stats installed through adb. Using these two i can usually figure out whats causing wakelocks
[LG G6 Real Life Review] snoofaki:
hello

i am trying to set up greenify and in settings menu on automated hibernation when i check it , i take the message

<please ensure "Power button instantly locks" is NOT checked in security settings. >

then i go to fingerprints and security menu but i cant find this option.. to uncheck.. any help pls? i am searching 2 day now..

Really,Thank you very very much ,
[LG G6 Real Life Review] MuttleyMB:
Hello to everyone,

I have noticed an high consumption of the "inactive phone" activity that often appears to be twice than SOT.

I tried with apps like greenify and hibernation manager but the problem did not find a solution.

I wonder if my assumption is correct but, it seems, somehow implicated the Memo + application on which, unfortunately, I did not have the opportunity to intervene.

Battery drain seems to decreases if I use the device more.

I can hardly make 4 hours of SOT. :/

Does anyone have any other suggestion to try to stem the problem ??

Thank you.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Killua96:
If it's really the QMemo+ app you can disable (maybe ah, i've tried and it seems to have disabled that) by using This app, after installed just follow the "adb method" which you can find Here too.

In my case the app icon and the quicksetting toogle disappeared, so i think it worked xD
[LG G6 Real Life Review] EMJI79:
And how do you capture screen then?
[LG G6 Real Life Review] louvass:
Draining !

I have been getting a 10% drain every night. I disable many apps and force stopped many. I tried to disable memo but you can't. I pushed it back to factory and still get 10% drain. I'm guessing when you see a force stop on the app that it's running but not necessarily using any power from what it seems like. Something is killing this phone when idle, I hope they find what it is and give us an update to correct it.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] vintagerock:
You use capture+ to take a screenshot. No need for quick memo.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] EMJI79:
Did you see a clear improvement in battery life?
