I haven't tried to disable with the package disabler yet but as soon as I have time to run the adb commands I am. I'll post results here
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Killua96:
Use the button combination to make a screenshot, easy.

The capture+ toggle will disappear if you disable qmemo+, that's because it's connected to the app, so no, you need quick memo+ enabled to take screenshots with capture+.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] MuttleyMB:
Really Thank you. I will try this method as soon as I can.

Same thing here :( Hope they solve the problem with a new update very soon.

I never thought I'd do this, but I installed "Advanced Task Manager" the other night. I set it to auto-kill most of the running non-system apps 30 seconds after the screen goes off. For the past 2 nights, my phone only drained 1-2% per 8 hours. I don't believe in app killers, but perhaps in this case it's actually doing something positive? I don't know. I'm gonna leave it installed for now and see if the Idle drain comes back.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] vintagerock:
You can go into quick memo and tell it you do not want images taken with capture+ to use quick memo. I thought that was the only link they had to each other.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Killua96:
Who knows, the fact is that disabling qmemo+ the option disappear, don't know why xD
[LG G6 Real Life Review] vintagerock:
Also, I haven't found a button combination yet that will take a screen shot. Maybe its an issue with the AT&T version. Anyone else notice this?
[LG G6 Real Life Review] just lou:
It doesn't work on my Verizon version either.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Killua96:
On lg has always been keep pressing vol- and power, don't know if US branded model don't have such option...
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Jostian:
Greenify also helps to kill system apps while even is off, I get 1 or 2%drain during the night.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] EMJI79:
I don't have button combination on my H870DS either .
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Killua96:
Strange that a combination to take screenshots seems to be a H870 esclusive...
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Saythis:
My H872 works with volume down and power to take screenshots
[LG G6 Real Life Review] EMJI79:
Edit: mine works also, only I have to press for more than a second.

35+ hours now since my last charge. With light usage, I'm still over 70% battery. I believe now that killing the non-essential apps when the phone is sleeping has cured my Standby Idle Drain issue.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Jostian:
I get 70 hrs odd between charges with average usage, but with very few background apps.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] just lou:
I also have a hypothesis that there might not have ever been a standby drain issue at all, and the real culprit might just have been a battery calibration issue that clears up after the battery has been charged to 100% a couple of times. I base this on the fact that when I had the issue, my phone seemed to drain from 100%-%45% ridiculously quick, then seemed to drain normally from 45%-15%. Almost like the battery was never really completely charged despite it showing 100%.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] glenn0369:
Last night I left the phone off charger for 11 hours. Only 3% drain. Wifi turns off when screen is off.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] joyj112:
Been out on a retreat for two days and forgot my charger.. Lol almost two days have past but my battery is still hanging in there. Turning on airplane mode at night really helps. Can probably make it till tomorrow
[LG G6 Real Life Review] tittyballz:
My overall battery drain hasn't been to bad but I have noticed on standby it still chews power. I have my brightness at 25%, most of the stock Google apps disabled and always on display turns off from 10pm - 7am. I still drop about 6 - 10% battery overnight (from about 10.30pm till 6.30am).

That's after my first charge as well, I got this on the 29th, it had about 40% battery, I used it down to about 25 - 30% before sticking it on charge that afternoon, only just put it on charge again 15 minutes ago so it is doing a hell of a lot better than my LG G2 but I did expect a little better, oh well still pretty happy with it.

Mines also the H870DS, bought from a grey site here in Aus :good:.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] eksasol:
The standby drain for this phone is terrible and is the only thing I'm disappointed about this phone. 10% drain overnight and this is with Airplane on and many bloatwares disabled using package disabler. Whatever is behind "phone idle", it's sucking up a lot of battery. That 7.1 update can't come soon enough.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] joyj112:
You need to check your wakelocks man. Try installing betterbatterystats using adb and find the culprit cuz for me i get around 0.4%/hr when screen is off. 0.8%/hr if i listen to some music. Usually would lose like 1 or 2 percent overnight and can use my phone the next day. I have Accubattery and Betterbatterystats installed to make sure i dont have any wakelock and calibrated my battery once to ensure i got the most out of it. Can make it through the day with more than half battery left usually
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Jostian:
I only lose 1 to 2% over night
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Mjuksel:
I feel the same, seems like performance is getting better and better.

Took mine off the charger 43 hours ago, 40% left, and around 3 hrs and 15 minutes of screen time. :good::highfive:
[LG G6 Real Life Review] xPhantom:
I'm still struggling to get more than 4 hours SOT. "Call Services" and "Kernel (Android OS)" are the top two items using my battery according to GSam.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Sid@developer:
Do you dial and attend many calls ?
[LG G6 Real Life Review] xPhantom:
No, I really don't :confused:
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Sid@developer:
Try a factory reset..... ?
[LG G6 Real Life Review] xlr8me:
This +1

Very impressed with AOD.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] chief2842:
Same here my battery life is rapidly declining since I've had it. I can barely make it through half a day and this is with 3hrs SOT.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] nathdogg:
Out of interest what do you have your screen brightness set to? I had mine at auto but found it was unnecessarily bright on most occasions. I've now installed the lux app which I've tweeked to take care of auto brightness.

Yesterday I managed this. I was on WiFi most of the day, but also had the screen brightness auto adjust to a lower but still perfectly comfortable level.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] xPhantom:
I keep my screen brightness on auto. I've noticed on Gsam that my phone has a lot of "active" time even when the screen is off and it's dozing, but I can't seem to track down the culprit.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Killua96:
The call service voice, if you don't make many call, it's the fast dormancy which can be disabled in the service menu if available.

Does heat make a difference? Today during work my idle drain seemed to be around 3% per hour, during that time my phone was in my front pocket and I was hot and sweaty. Now I'm back at home and my drain per hour seems to be much lower.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] EMJI79:
Location which can turn when away from home can cause excessive drain.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Jeremiah Bonds:
Great standby time
[LG G6 Real Life Review] nathdogg:
Best standby I've managed to get so far, 56hrs. Not a lot of screen on time as I was at home most of the time. I happy with that though.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Aid777:
I have just had my rooted G6 for one night and this night will be the second. I think I lost about 2-3% during the night with Wifi on and always-on display. I have still got a few more apps to download mind you, the main ones that potentially will drain the battery are Facebook and Twitter. I am going to wait a few more days see how long the battery lasts before i install other apps. I will go to bed tonight with 100% battery and see what it's like 7 hours later or so.

UPDATE. I did not loose any battery during the night. For 1.5 hours this morning I have had mild usage o the phone and the time remaining states +13.5 hrs (which presumably would apply to the same continuous usage I had during the last 1.5 hours).

My previous phone (G3) used to drain 30-50% during the night and that was with Greenify installed. Even when I was at work and not really using the phone it drained like hell. I am selling it soon and I deleted a load of apps without resetting and the standby time was great. I never did find the app(s) culprit that drains the batter, maybe FB?

Speaking of battery, the fast charging does not seem any faster then the charge on my G3. I did have a different plug though and did not use the one supplied (it was 2 pin and I needed an adapter).
[LG G6 Real Life Review] imkr1:
Totally agreed. Even its said fast charge it took 2hour 30 min to charge from 0 to 100%
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Spider210:
I am losing about 30% going from 60% to 29% overnight and all I am seeing is "Android OS' Keep awake 6 hours+... Using betterbatterystats is says Bluetooth_PM anyone have an idea what that is? I leave my bluetooth off and its off for scanning under location services. No other app shows up with high usage
[LG G6 Real Life Review] aledex:
Doesn't it interfere with notifications, like whatsapp?

Nah Android System is all a big package, I don't think it's bluetooth the culprit.

With GSam, I have 67% of battery usage in 18 hours:

- 38% screen (3 hours of display)

- 4% wakelock

- 52% app, of which:

--- 15% Android System

--- 11% kernel

I don't see any particular battery drain, it only looks like my Lg like my to eat my battery :D I really can't understand how people manage to reach 6-8-10(??) hours of SoT.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] narutosri:
Too much battery drain even when idle
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Jostian:
I'm on 6:24 SoT with 25% battery remaining.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Jeremiah Bonds:
you can set a list of apps to ignore doze.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] EMJI79:
But Android Nougat has already got Doze so what is the need from a third party app?
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Jeremiah Bonds:
Right, but it's called "aggressive doze" it kicks in once the screen is off rather than after 30 minutes of inactivity
[LG G6 Real Life Review] EMJI79:
How much do you estimate it gained you battery over a day please?
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Kaleidosc0pe:
Depends on your usage. If you look every 15 Minutes on your Display you will never go into deep doze.

Aggressive Mode makes sense for me.

If i remember right, it doesn't work when you move or hold it in your hands.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] johanruda:
For those having issues with battery drain, are you on the stock launcher? I went from 3-4% (or even more) per hour down to less than 1 when I switched to Nova.

I still have issues with the phone sometimes randomly sucks up 5% in 10 minutes though... I think it's whenever I wake the phone up, so it might be some doze/wakelock thing.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] AM Radio:
on Nova, debloated a bunch of non-essential LG apps, and stuff by Google that i'll never use (Slides). accidentally tested drain last night when i left my G6 in the car from 6pm to noon. about 18hrs. went from 75% when i left it to 50% when i picked it up, with AOD, BT, WiFi, data, etc. off.

G6 lost 25% charge over 18 hours while doing nothing -- i dunno, i think that's BRUTAL, esp coming from an Xperia Z3c and Sony's Stamina Mode.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] EMJI79:
There is a problem.

Check for location settings and other things. Should be between 0 to 3%.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] joyj112:
Used to use greenify or forcedoze, but deleted both of them and achieving pretty good standby time. With force doze i would usually get around 0.7 or 1.0/hr. Now im getting 0.3/hr without them
[LG G6 Real Life Review] AM Radio:
i think the massive drop might have been because the phone was in my car, which was parked on level two of an underground parkade, so maybe the phone was struggling to find the network. last night in my loft (5th floor), only drained 2% ... thank goodness
[LG G6 Real Life Review] EMJI79:
Ya that must be the explanation.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Jostian:
My SoT is currently at 6:18 which is great, with 10% left in the tank and 62 odd hours since last charge. I'm very chuffed with the G6 thus far on many fronts.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Jeremiah Bonds:
Good stuff
[LG G6 Real Life Review] banesi:
Great troubleshooting man, keep us informed of a progress
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Killua96:
Don't know if this could support your theory but i noticed that under wifi there is always something that downloads data (almost 300 bytes/s) and rarely the number goes to zero as it should.

The problem is that under wifi bettery life is better in standby, when using mobile data there is some problem with switching that force the phone to go 3G/H+ even if LTE/4G has a better signal, in fact if i force LTE Only the battery drain is less, seriously, don't know why, was the same on my G5.

Hope to be of some help, i have a rooted H870 if needed other infos or testing =)
[LG G6 Real Life Review] axylophon:
I also had the wakelock problem at my university with my old phone. Also a few friends had the same problem. This is not LG G6 specific. This is an android bug!

I am again at the university in october. Then I can test it with the G6.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] aledex:
I have another problem: com.android.phone alarm wakes up the phone by 12.5 times per minute (4221 times in 5h30m), while I'm in the same place under 4G+ network. I tried in the past disabling fast dormancy but it didn't look as it solved anything.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Unundra:
Thanks! I think my problem is pretty much hopeless for now... At least until someone fixes it with a custom kernel, which is way beyond my skill. But some people here might be able to work around it, if they are in control of the network causing the problem that is.

I'm not sure if the packets I suspect are causing my problem actually have any data in them, they' should be just icmp echo requests... But 300 byte/s does sound reasonable to me. I haven't actually tested using data-only, not at work at least. The phone does display the 4G LTE icon as soon as any of my WiFi networks is not in range, but I guess I'd have to test the speeds to be really sure the phone is not in fact just using 3G. I've checked with BBS and, using data-only, the wakelock is no longer a problem. However, I haven't really compared long term battery life between my problematic network and 4G LTE. I guess there's a chance the latter will be even worse, ugh. I haven't done it because I stream quite a bit of music and really don't want to do it over data. I'll download a few albums over WiFi and test a full day using data only. I have a feeling it'll be better than when connected to this specific network. I appreciate your offer to test! At this point I can't think of a lot though... If you haven't yet, you might want to install tPacketCapture and look at the results in WireShark in a computer, it might tell you what exactly those 300 byte/s are.

I guess this is indeed an old android bug that affects most android running devices. Fortunately though, this bug appears to be fixable with custom kernels and all my previous and current devices have/had one of those. I also guess that I've just inadvertently solved the problem that way without even realizing it. I remember that my Nexus 5 had great battery life at work and I've recently read that Franco Kernel, which it was running, has had a fix for this bug for a while now. What troubles me is that in my dorm I have exactly the same network, with the same security settings and dynamic IP, and my battery life is impressive. I stayed home Friday night and all Saturday and my battery went from 100% to 80-90%, I was at work all day Sunday and it went from the same 80-90% to 0%. I still agree this an android bug, but it appears to be specific to some local networks. I also considered that the phone could just be constantly switching routers at work for some reason, but in the dorm there are also quite a few of them... And this problem also does't happen with the guest-net, which I presume uses the same many routers. Anyway, it'd be really nice if you could update us on this by October.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] axylophon:
Yeah it is indeed really strange. This bug was not present in Lollipop. It occured first with Marshmallow I think.

It has something to do with the network configuration as you already said. Something with IPv6. Last year I googled that topic and found other people which have the same problem in the "EDUROAM" network at the university.

I hope it is working...

Everytime I did something with my phone I switched on the wifi. Afterwards i turned it off again. Otherwise it would be empty after around 6 hours.

Maybe Android O is fixing it.

We will see :)
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Jostian:
And if you install something like the Doze app from play store and only whitelist specific apps? Would be interesting to see, I suggest this purely cos Doze creates a pseudo VPN, effectively blocking traffic that's not on the whitelist.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Killua96:
Does nothing, nor Force doze and nor the aggressive doze included with greenify.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Jostian:
Damn, weird, have you tried hard (button) reset yet?

---------- Post added at 07:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:34 AM ----------

I remember once having an issue with Greenify, have you tried uninstalling it for a day and see if anything changes? In my case Greenify got stuck in its own auto hibernation loop, which drained my battery heavily when phone was in idle mode, with aggressive doze option.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Killua96:
I'll try to uninstall greenify.

For the hard reset, it's the first thing i've tried, but probably this is an LG problem present in: G5, G6 and V20, came with Marshmallow and stayed with Nougat. Mind that with S8+ and S7 Edge i've never see a problem in standby
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Jostian:
weird, cos I have no such issues, I easily get 6 hrs SoT and 2 to 3 days between charges...
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Killua96:
I never reached more than 4 hours under wifi, with mobile network is even worst
[LG G6 Real Life Review] AM Radio:
4h 36m 18s SOT vs 30% juice

will clear 5h SOT for sure, not sure about 6h.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] MuttleyMB:
I don't extactly know what causes strange battery drain but with the same settings (AOD, WiFi & LTE on, many apps in background etc etc) I can reach different SOT values. More I use the phone and more SOT I get. :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

Just look at the attachments on this post.

So far battery drain on standby is almost non existent.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Unundra:
Hey guys! It's me again, and I bring word from Lord Elrond of Rivendell.

As you may have read a few posts ago, my phone's battery was being massacred by a wlan_rx_wake kernel wakelock while connected to my university's WiFi. I looked everywhere for a solution but none was to be found. I knew my good ol' Nexus 5 had had the problem fixed by having Franco's Kernel flashed into it, so I looked further into that. I had never ever considered building my own custom kernel, but sure enough I ended up porting the fixes from Franco's kernel to some sort of modded stock LG G6 kernel. I am pleased to inform you, ladies and gentleman, that the wlan_rx_wake wakelock is now nowhere to be found. I would (and eventually will) post the kernel in the Development section (I even made a neat flashable zip even though I had already flashed the kernel from a boot.img), but I am sadly not allowed to post there yet.

My success was very short lived though. I went from a phone that almost never slept while connected to my university's WiFi to a phone that did't sleep at all(!) while connected to said network. The new culprit was a partial wakelock by the name WifiOffDelayIfNotUsed. Again, I looked into this and I read that some people had fixed it in LG G4s by modding the system framework. And so I did, I modded the G6's framework and the WifiOffDelayIfNotUsed is now also nowhere to be found. Again, I went through the trouble of creating a neat flashable zip even though I had already pushed a patched .jar, I'll post it as soon as I'm allowed to.

I'd love to tell you guys that my phone sleeps deeply most of the time it's connected my university's WiFi, but such is not the case yet. Back at home the battery life is superb, but at work I still struggle to deep sleep while not in use. This is all very recent, so I guess there's a chance my mods haven't settled in yet (the patched .jar file does't appear to have been "reodexed" yet, I don't even know if that's a thing but I'll be sure to look into it). I still look at all of this as progress though.

That's pretty much it. If someone is in desperate need of either of these fixes I'm sure we can arrange something while I'm still not allowed to post them. Otherwise, I'll post them soon enough.

Cheers!

Hey Guys,

I've been experiencing some battery drain overnight when I go to sleep. I turn off wifi, bluetooth and data when sleeping.

Battery still drained 9% overnight.

Something within the Android OS is keeping the phone awake. Is there anyway to find out what exactly is doing it?

Here are some screenshots:

https://goo.gl/photos/5SytDhEn559Aaaig7

Cheers!

Using a 870DS with the latest software TWN V10e.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Kaleidosc0pe:
It is looking normal. Last hour drain is high but anything else ok. As you can see the remaining time stands by 44 hours.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Skulltec:
I won't consider it as normal when you lose 9% overnight when you turn off all data. I'd say 1-3% should be normal.

I have enabled Wifi & data overnight. No special night mode just on silent. Loss only 1-2% overnight.. This phone (android general) has sure a weird habit for idle
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Kaleidosc0pe:
I think it shows you wrong stats than with 9% loose you can not get 66 hours left.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] AM Radio:
overnight drain is unpredictable for me. i've seen 5%, but usually it's 2% or 3%. but last night: 0% drain. woke up to 80%, which is how i left it, go figure.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] nathdogg:
I leave everything on during the night apart from AOD. So that's Bluetooth on (Connected to my Fitbit Blaze with all day sync), mobile data on, WiFi set to always on (I found that gave me better idle), I also have do not disturb active during the night.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] oliake:
I went asleep with 8% and woke up to 8%. Getting around 6h SOT in general
[LG G6 Real Life Review] faeArai:
So I got my G6 EU yesterday and I'm bit disappointed as LG still didn't manage to increase battery time. I know that Google is the one to blame here for greedy apps like Play Services and an architectural design that does not prevent bad developed applications from wasting battery time...

But when I think of my Honor 8 - even with LOS battery is significantly better.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] johanruda:
It would be awesome if you could link the page where you found the solution!
