okies. But one more thing.. a weird thing is happening with my mobile for the past 2 days. my phone never went beyond 36C even when I use it in direct sunlight sometimes. and my phone felt warm only when i used it in direct sunlight. otherwise no matter what the temperature, my phone stayed very lil warm. from Day before yestrday , during my travel, or when idle. the phone starts at 26-28C, and suddenly raises upto 33. and today it set a all time high going till 39C and the phone felt pretty much warm even when there was no sunlight and the ambient temperature throughout my travel stayed at 25C. i was just seeing youtube videos, for which my phonw never even got a bit warm, today it was high. and even unlocking and replying in fb messenger gets it to 36-37C. what suddenly happened to my Mobile. I'm pretty much mobile. for something which never crossed 36 suddnely going near 40 and feels pretty warm to touch.

any help!? pls
[LG G6 Real Life Review] coyot352:
did you try a reset of the phone? if you have abnormal battery drain and a heater under normal conditions there is a problem

If a reset does not solve the problem, go after-sales service, we can not help you anymore

Recently an update came on Friday.. Guess After that it even became worse... Just unlocking the phone and messaging or using the gallery raises my phone temperature around 34_35.. Suddenly when idle it increases. Making me crazy. Gsam monitor was installed and observed android and google services at top..

I ask you the question, did you reset your mobile?
[LG G6 Real Life Review] J-Zzz:
Something brilliant happened yesterday that I haven't experienced on a smartphone ever before.

I charged the G6 to 100% before I left for the station to catch a train to my work place. Which is about 5 hours away. Before and during the trip, I used the Google camera to take quite a few photos. Data was off but phone signal would change a lot since I'm on a moving train so battery should technically be affected. The phone screen was on for pretty much the whole trip while I watched multiple episodes of The Office and listened to music between them.

After I reached my place, then I switched on the data and checked Whatsapp and other apps for a good 1-2 hours.

Despite all of this, the SOT actually was 6+ hours! With about 15% to spare! I've never had a phone that lasted this long before. Granted the data was off for the whole trip but this kinda shows if we use the G6 purely as a media device for consuming stored music or videos and not as a communication device, the battery should easily last hours.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] msvr3:
yup! But what's the use :( mobile new anyway, not even a whole 2months it is

:crying:
[LG G6 Real Life Review] coyot352:
even if it is recent, you will have or have a corrupted program or malware. If it's always the same after reset is that the problem is hardware, in your place I will send it to the after-sales service
[LG G6 Real Life Review] sp_1st_timer:
This is what I got today. Looks like the secret to getting impressive SOT is to frequently play games on your phone.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] panossd:
I own it for almost one week.. the first two full charges lasted about 28 hours with 5.5 hours SOT.. today, I get these results..any help???also,why android system uses so much battery?? Fyi, I have updated to the latest version (January security patch) and then i installed every single app..in addition, I have force stopped useless apps (like quickmemo etc.)
[LG G6 Real Life Review] xphyle1971:
This! This has been my result from day one. 4 hrs SOT max. Tried resets, etc. I'm using the G600k model in the USA on Tmobile. Maybe that has something to do with the ****ty battery life.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] panossd:
I am pretty sure that LG G6 can achieve great SOT and standby times..try to figure out what app exceeds batteryisage, and force stop it..then,check again battery usage..
[LG G6 Real Life Review] rahulkrathod:
Upgraded from the lg G3 this week. I must say i miss the G3 aspect ratio. May be it will take time for the 18:9 to grow on me. Battery life has been great, couldn't complain. These results are from 2nd full charge.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] joyj112:
Whenever i use my school wifi, my standby and screenon time is horrific. However every where else is fine. For example, when i use my phone at home with wifi i usually get around 5hrs SOT easily. But in school i usually get around 2-3 hrs max. I can't ask the school to reset their wifi just for me so i gotta deal with it but try resetting your routers and stuff. It could help. And if youre on data, get good signal. If you live in an area with horrible signal, good luck because your phone is gonna constantly try to get some signals
[LG G6 Real Life Review] msvr3:
i did reset, which made the drain even worse, just apple music for an hour with data on drains 8-10 n just unlocking and going through gallery raises phone to 33-34.. and feels warm a bit.

Bad SOT times on LG g6

I get about 2.5 hours - 3.5 hours SOT over 22 hours of usage on Mobile data. It's not good. Anyone has any idea how to improve this?
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Gboss01:
Coming from the Galaxy S6 I have to say the battery life and SOT is really good and about almost twice what I got from the S6.

This is Day 1 after its first full charge, I'd rate the usage as pretty heavy as I was queued at Home Affairs from 8am till midday.

Off the charger from 7am and currently on 13% remaining @17:55 South African time.

I should see 6 hours before needing to recharge :laugh:
[LG G6 Real Life Review] mr mystery:
Battery life is horrendous for me. Worst I've seen on Android device in some time. For a device with a 3300 battery this really is laughable. Battery stats reveals nothing and always shows a steep line. Is LG software always this bad or is this an Android 7.0 thing? I'm probably gonna dump this thing.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] WAIDroid:
What Carrier you on? Some Apps from the Carrier can cause issues and only by Disabling them can improve battery life to some extent
[LG G6 Real Life Review] mr mystery:
I may have solved the issue sonewhat. I factory reset and set up the phone as new. Standby seems much better now.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Jeremiah Bonds:
That's good to hear.. not many people are complaining about the battery...

I just wish I got a little more screen on time. Lol. I wanna be in the 6 hour club
[LG G6 Real Life Review] WAIDroid:
I believe it depends on the Carrier as some have so-called bloatware while some don't and if you live in the UK then you don't have to worry about it.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] mr mystery:
Well tjat was short lived. Ive got like 8 apps installed and the rapid drain has returned. Im getting rid of this thing. LG sofrware is worse than Samsungs...
[LG G6 Real Life Review] xphyle1971:
I have the Korean variant and I'm averaging just about 5 hours SOT. But I've noticed that my #1 battery hog is Snapchat. It uses more power than the screen does on a daily basis. I'm willing to bet if I just got rid of Snapchat that I could hit 5.5 or maybe 6 hours of SOT daily.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] vintagerock:
Clearly you have a bad phone as this is not normal.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] WAIDroid:
Also if you have Facebook App that can cause it to. Just use the mobile site. A lot better...
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Jeremiah Bonds:
It's obviously your device and not the software, seeing how nearly everyone is expressing their love for their battery life. Something is keeping your phone awake.. What are the 8 apps you have installed?
[LG G6 Real Life Review] scapeinator1:
For those of you with the korean version, with the always on screen turned off and wifi only without the HIFI dac active and just about every other power saving measure I can think of, I can get 6 hours of SOT. Otherwise 4 hours with my usual usage that includes the HIFI DAC, screen brightness at 50%, always on display, using mobile data occasionally, etc.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] mr mystery:
I read what someone else posted about the Quick Memo app. That appears to be what keeps my device awake. I force stop it and standby is as it should be. At least so far it is.

Of course we can't disable it. FML
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Jeremiah Bonds:
Awesome I can't wait to see your results. I use quick memo so that kind of sucks.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Jeremiah Bonds:
You can uninstall it..

Or download greenify and have it auto hibernate quick memo? That's what I'm trying today.. And so far so good.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] jakeyo:
There is no quick memo in the greenify app... Or does it do it in the background
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Jeremiah Bonds:
You click the plus sign and select quick memo..
[LG G6 Real Life Review] jakeyo:
It isn't there... I have it selected on my device is not rooted
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Jeremiah Bonds:
Do you have quick memo installed?
[LG G6 Real Life Review] jakeyo:
Yes
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Flashing_Expert:
I got usually 6:30 to 8hrs of SOT

anyone can uninstall any system app (until you do factory reset, that will bring everything back)

just enable adb, install minimal adb on your pc, run command line as admin

in command line:

adb shell

hit enter and then write

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.lge.qmemoplus

in case you want uninstall qmemo (you can check exact package info and name with application inspector on playstore)

and this works for any system covered bloatware
[LG G6 Real Life Review] J-Zzz:
I uninstalled QuickMemo just like you said and, just for a heads up for anyone trying this, you'll lose the Capture+ option completely. No Quick Settings tile or the button on the Navbar. You can still take screenshots using the power + volume down button combo. Which is fine but you lose the annotation capabilities.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Flashing_Expert:
then there is also choice to just hide annoying system apps by using:

pm hide com.lge.qmemoplus

and in case of problems you can go easily back with:

pm unhide com.lge.qmemoplus
[LG G6 Real Life Review] J-Zzz:
Does hide actually disable the app though? Or just hide it from the list of apps but it still runs in the background?
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Flashing_Expert:
app will be completely disabled, it won't boot at start, won't show anywhere... like it's not even installed
[LG G6 Real Life Review] J-Zzz:
Then could you confirm if the Capture+ option would be affected by it or not? Because it's pretty much gone for me and unless I reset, I won't be able to get it back.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Flashing_Expert:
by uninstalling qmemoplus, capture+ is gone, didn't tried to hide it but look at this link bellow, you can install it and then search for it's updates to get it back, also reboot after install...

That's probably the phone using high cpu for long periods of time.. maybe for the sync issue but could be weak signal as well. We're u on LTE?
[LG G6 Real Life Review] panossd:
Maybe some app is triggering wakelock..and the phone never goes to deep sleep..
[LG G6 Real Life Review] msvr3:
Yup, I get that a lot on LTE. smart doctor diagnoses weak signals most often, but these warmnes for even ulocking and browsing through gallery is what irritating me to the core. and yesterday, overnight from 00.30 to morning 06.40 it dropped around 21% which is insanewith Always on display but 21% is too much.

I used Gsam to monitor. Android system, Google services and apple msic were on top..
[LG G6 Real Life Review] panossd:
I think these apps should not be on top..
[LG G6 Real Life Review] jshames:
Sometimes this high consumption happens randomly and intermittently, with no apparent reason.

Does it happen every night?

During the day, my idle consumption varies tremendously, and I have not found a way to influence it.

Early reviewers of the device noted this as well. Some quirk that will hopefully be corrected in Oreo....

In any case I have no problem getting a full day out of the battery if I start fully charged.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] msvr3:
recently for the past two weeks, previously it'd be very max of 5% overnight!and heating/warming up is more. today morning it went to 38 without much use..although ambient temp is low :( it's making me sick.

sometimes sitting out and browsing the gallery raises my phone from 26-27 to 34-35.. don't know what exactly going on!, resetted twice
[LG G6 Real Life Review] panossd:
I don't think that it happens randomly and out of the blue..STH ' s not working the way it is expected..try to stop data sync on background apps..also, Google system should not be that high..check the activity of the apps and try to force stop them to see if there are any changes on the battery stats per app..

---------- Post added at 11:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:05 AM ----------

I think the best solution is flashing the firmware again..if no success, I think you should get it to an authorized service center..

[LG G6 Real Life Review] jshames:
I agree that there is a reason.

Those of us in the medical field have a principle, that the more there exist different types of treatments for a certain condition, the less effective they actually are. This is because if there was something that was truly effective most of the time, it would come to dominate and the others would fall by the wayside.

I'm applying the same principle here. Admittedly I am not a programmer or expert. But the fact is that these forums are chock full of dozens of different bits of advice about how to reduce battery consumption. None of them are consistently effective over time, and for most people they won't make a difference. That's one reason everybody is waiting for Oreo...

The drain does not seem to be related to any specific process, bluetooth, wi-fi or the like. Turning these things off doesn't help. Some days I'll get 1-2% drain an hour and some days 4%, with not obvious change in my apps or usage pattern.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Anzee:
These issues are to my belief normal as sometimes apps get stuck in syncing etc. A reboot and should fix most of these problems.

I don't know if u are rooted and not really sure about the effectiveness of greenify without root but u should give it a try to reduce the cpu usage for these apps in the background. It works wonders on my rooted device and works great on my friend's non rooted. (Just not as intuitive)

Also try disabling other bloatware apps that you don't use!

If you are rooted and comfortable with xposed tweaks than try amplify as well.

---------- Post added at 10:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:42 PM ----------

Sorry for the late reply I bricked my phone and was busy in bricking it :D

For the heating issue. Did you consider the fact that maybe it's just the increasing temp cuz of the weather?

I live in a warm City and my device while normal in winter's.. heats up insanely in summer! And that heating up also effects the battery life. It goes back to normal when in cold conditions and in winter. That's just a characteristic of the lithium ion battery I believe.

If u believe it's not the weather than still resetting the decide is not necessary. Most of the time it's just a rogue app update or sync issue and would resolve itself in a few days. After the update settles in.

---------- Post added at 11:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 PM ----------

As I mentioned weather is a probability here too. But a bug could be an issue as well.

As mentioned above rogue app updates are a high likely issue specially if you are rooted.

Keep in mind that the Google services and Google services framework apps get updated in the background without any notification or alert.

I once reset my device many times and even flashed a new rom within one week only to get the same problem again before I realized that it wasn't the ROM or firmware but gservices app that caused the issue and the next update fixed.

Often times the best course of action is to not to do anything and let it settle in.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] panossd:
One guy wrote in a post that quickmemo made high usage of cpu..try to force stop and disable this app..I have performed that on my G6 just in case..I think there is a high chance you see lower battery drain and better temperatures..

I see that lots of people are getting in between 5-6 Hours of SOT. I only get around 3.5 Hours of SOT over a 22 hours of usage.

A trick i do to have more screen on time is to acutally use it more often with screen on. As i have tested, leaving my phone in idle still drains battery and so when i try to use it, it suddenly drains faster with the screen on. But if you constantly use your phone, more power will actually go to the screen being on and so you get a longer screen on time

Mine H870 model has got a really really bad battery life. I need to charge minimum 1 times in school with a fast charging power bank.

I disconnect the charger at morning (100%), and I'm sitting on the freaking 3-4th lesson, and my battery is at about 40-50%.

My average SoT is ~2,5 - 3hours on mobile data, on Wi-Fi a bit better. I tried with full stock ROM, and with FULMICS+ROOT+Full Greenify, and nothing extra...

I bought this phone at '17 July brand new.

Any ideas?

Hey guys

Is there any way to manually ad games to the Game battery saver list?

There are a few games that don't get added :(
[LG G6 Real Life Review] browy:
Try ForceDoze and DS Battery Saver. Both can be found on the play store. In DS Battery Saver you have the option to tune the CPU so that only one core is active during deep sleep. Keep in mind, if you do that, unlocking the phone out of deep sleep will take about two seconds or so. But you'll get good battery usage in return.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] darek1995:
I'm using ForceDoze, Greenify full fersion, and battery saver, the idle drain is good I think, but when it comes the SoT, it's terrible maybe.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] MDW 100:
Just don't use it, from my experience it doesn't save any noticeable amount of battery. Just makes the performance terrible, which defeats the object of a flagship imo.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] blackhawk_LA:
Pretty good in my opinion. And this is more accurate than a screenshot of a single cycle.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] DJPRMF:
Disable any battery monitoring tool and use the Android build-in SoT viewer. That will improve the battery also

(why use something for what Android already provides? :P )
[LG G6 Real Life Review] blackhawk_LA:
It's way more accurate to use an application to measure battery discharging rate during a whole week than a single day.

And this app doesn't drain my battery.

[LG G6 Real Life Review] sun_is_shinning:

Was your battery life this good before oreo?What tips do you have to achieve this?
[LG G6 Real Life Review] sun_is_shinning:
yes, in Nougat i can get more 30 to 45 minuts SoT, but nothing special im happy with this.

I do the same on my LG phones, because i only buy LG now so, its a "long list".

1st: Setting up everything at my taste and go to all menus in setting and see what i want and not.

2nd: Enable development settings and disable the animations of windows and etc.

3rd: disable Google Smartlock, Smartlock for Passwords.

4th: Go to apps list and select view system, and open one by one and disable "run in background" and disable "background data", just dont disable in apps you really want to keep in background like whatsapp and messenger etc, but do this in apps like playstore and play services.

5th: install TWRP and Root the phone, debloat the phone, delete all you can (search for some list here on G6 forum they exist and is easy to do).

6th: install Shortcut Manager and go to app explorer and find Hidden Menu, enter it and search "Fast dormacy" and disable it, go back and find "ThermalMitigation" and disable it, find "LBD" and unckeck the box see if they say disabled.

...and its pretty much what i have done to my phone to get it last like this.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] MDW 100:
Curious as to what thermal mitigation is...
[LG G6 Real Life Review] sun_is_shinning:
something about CPU limitation like throttling...not really sure but thats what i think it is.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] MDW 100:
Did a little bit of research, and it sounds like it disables thermal throttling, can cause the device to overheat when doing heavy tasks, and burns through loads more battery in the process.
