So using betterbatterystats by enabling it through adb, i found that none of the app caused wakelocks. The only thing that caused major wakelock was wifi itself causing wlan_rx_wake. So i disabled wifi and pretty much used data the entire time. Seems to solved it a little
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Jeremiah Bonds:
WiFi was my problem with overnight drain also
[LG G6 Real Life Review] joyj112:
A lot better with just using data most of the time. Its the school wifi thats causing wakelocks for me so i guess i wont be using the school wifi. This is with 40 min of listening to music using bluetooth
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Jeremiah Bonds:
So I'm comfortable.. This is with some GPS..

During work i use battery saver off and on, but use Blue Mail since emails still come through.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] WAIDroid:
OK i'm so getting this phone. I don't know how y'all are getting these awesome SOT times :confused: I only got at least close to 5 on my G4
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Jeremiah Bonds:
Usage may vary. Lol
[LG G6 Real Life Review] WAIDroid:
Still, to my testing i got 27hrs usage+4.5 SOT on G4. Once G4 gets 7.0 i'll test then might get the G6 if things don't increase
[LG G6 Real Life Review] jakeyo:
There is a new quickmemo+ update out in the settings

I wonder if this is to fix battery life for some users.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] WAIDroid:
Somehow i doubt it. They wouldn't care about that
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Saythis:
Hit 6.5 SOT last night. I'm very impressed.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] vintagerock:
What settings do you see this update?
[LG G6 Real Life Review] jakeyo:
What do u mean by settings? I've taken a screenshot of the settings if that helps. Its too early to tell if there is any difference. I haven't really experienced battery drain I'd lose about 5% overnight
[LG G6 Real Life Review] waoasis:
I was actually surprised by this battery performance. Coming from a guy who turns on wifi bluetooth location sync on all the time. Even have a smart watch connected. With same settings same conditions my old Galaxy S6 could merely hit 2 to 2.5 hours of SOT. At least I know battery-wise this is a successful upgrade.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] vintagerock:
You said there was an update out in the settings. I wasn't sure what you meant.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] jakeyo:
Oh. I went into settings and then into about phone and it's where you go to update your phone or system apps. There was an update for quickmemo in the apps there
[LG G6 Real Life Review] vintagerock:
Oh I see. Thanks
[LG G6 Real Life Review] alex_mx:
I've been very happy with my usage, never been able to get more than 6 hrs of SOT, everything​ on, with mixed LTE/WiFi usage, also i have location set at "High Accuracy" and AOD is off...
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Mjuksel:
Here's one of the nice SOT to battery duration combo's i've gotten so far. (I don't use my phone a lot per day, so 4 hours SOT over 70 hours of usage is fine by me lol)
[LG G6 Real Life Review] skyfox99:
Been sick all day so been reading and playing on the phone. I'm very happy with this performance.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Timefusion:
First full charge...not bad. 45.5 hours total on. 3.5hrs SOT. 60 min phone calls and 40 minutes of what's app calls. Limited wifi and used AOD for half time. The concern for me is the nearly 1,400 mAh used by the phone idle. It's showing 28% but 1,400 mAh is over 40% of the 3,300 capacity. I've had the v10, g5, and V20 and don't remember the phone idle consuming so much juice. Any thoughts about the phone idle consumption would be appreciated!
[LG G6 Real Life Review] wmharley:
Here is what my new G6 gave me... Did my first full charge after this.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] EMJI79:
I am also having phone idle consumption nearly as high as screen, don't understand why, never had it on other phones.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Jeremiah Bonds:
Try uninstalling quickmemo
[LG G6 Real Life Review] EMJI79:
How? It's a system app, and we don't have root.

Is there a way?
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Killua96:
Afaik you can freeze it with greenify.

Anyway i didn't see any improvement doing so...
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Jeremiah Bonds:
try hibernating it. With T-Mobile I can uninstall it.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] EMJI79:
I really thought Greenify was useless since Nougat but I'll try.

Todet I have a normal Screen on time with 2.5 hours with 55% remaining and an idle of 6%.

I was home nearly all day so I wonder if the battery drain was not due to the nearby traffic notification when I am out.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] umx:
how did u get the black theme
[LG G6 Real Life Review] skyfox99:
It is one of the stock LG themes

Go to:

settings >display>theme>select black theme

There are other themes as well and even more in the LG Smart World app.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] @albert:
Here's my SOT, at a consistent 60% brightness.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] @albert:
Installed Greenify

Disabled LG Health app
[LG G6 Real Life Review] WAIDroid:
Please edit previous post rather creating a new one :silly::good:
[LG G6 Real Life Review] @albert:
Don't use the Always-On Display. It is a sure fire battery drainer.

I once used it the first time at default settings. From 100% at 12am, my battery went down to 88% by 8am. WiFi off, and zero running apps.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] ERosado88:
Hello guys my SoT on my work after 1 month with my G6 bloatware disabled and black theme applied is around 9 to 10 hours with few minutes and as for tonight's I am doing my second test. I am running on Sprint not a good reception at all here so I change it to cdma only, bt, wifi, gps, aod and nfc off since i dont use them here. This applies only for night shift with 15% brightness.

On my day shift I had achieved 7 hours to 8 on 45% to 85% brightess.

Edit;

As far as tonight's it been nicer, already getting better numbers on normal to moderate usé "Browsing, WhatsApp, XDA App, Over 1 hour call already, 8H usage on battery and 6H Screen 57%

Ill be posting more about this setting in case anyone want try it, also tonight found that one app was from nowhere starting a drain on standby and it was nothing less and nothing more than Clock Alarm that activate for my next shift tomorrow, ill recommend also verify Quick Memo which give me drain first week using the phone it wasn't big drain but was noticeable after few hours standby and i just force close it and delete the cache of it and eliminate all privilege to it.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] asilaghi89:
Does anyone find a solution to full disable the quick memo plus app or event delete it ?
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Killua96:
Greenify is the only way as the adb commands cannot do anything anymore... =(
[LG G6 Real Life Review] joyj112:
I dont even have quick memo installed. What i did was a factory reset and really never had to look at quick memo ever again
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Jeremiah Bonds:
Data saver too eh?

Tell us more about what you did.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] ERosado88:
Simple this is my setting for nights;

1. Data Saving ON *Only unrestricted apps that really use.

2. Power Saving ON *Immediate to clock down CPU.

3. Manual Brightness ON *15% to 70% if needed

4. Bloatware disabled

5. High Contrast Screen ON

6. Nova launcher *No labels for apps

7. Disable High accuracy GPS * Use Device Only

8. NFC OFF

9. BT OFF

10. Fixed Sync for Accounts and Apps

11. Disable all gesture options i don't use

12. Disable Absolute Audio for Bluetooth *Developers options

13. Disable USB Audio Routing *Developers options

14. When charges tp 100% let it 3 to 5 minutes to get full juice and then disconnect for let 3 to 5 minutes cool down temperature before using it.

This 10 hour is in base moderate to norm use, Opera Browser, Calls, Text, WhatsApp, Facebook, Facebook messenger, few regular apps like Google Playstore, Google Photos ect... and little of YouTube.

No gaming was done at this.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] zathus:
Are you indoors a lot?
[LG G6 Real Life Review] EMJI79:
Can somebody specify which in the following are safe to inactivate to get better battery life:
[LG G6 Real Life Review] ERosado88:
During night's I work outdoor...
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Jeremiah Bonds:
Ah that does it. Power saver. I was able to get tremendous battery having that on immediately.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] rubiicon59:
Please scrub this post... Completely wrong forum duhhhh :D

And you know this how? Proof?

I'm in the process of testing this. So far it's still at 100% after exactly 12 hours.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] ERosado88:
Always On triggers battery drain isn't a big one but is true less than 1% by hour do...
[LG G6 Real Life Review] EMJI79:
It doesn't drain much battery life to me either.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] godofpornings:
This has a beast of a battery. Easily getting just over 7hours of screen time.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] kartoonz:
Im very impressed with the sot. Coming from the htc m8 which barely gave me 3 hrs of sot this phone is a beast. Charged at 7 am and down to 5% at 11 pm with heavy usage that included lots of browsing, facebook, whatsapp, YouTube, music, bbc, clash of clan, and not to mention a couple of reboots and 2-3 hrs of really bad network at work. Holy crap im loving this phone... Its given me nearly 6.40 mins SOT while im typing this message.. Kudos...
[LG G6 Real Life Review] kartoonz:
So today was a good day as well.. Played clash of clans and nfs rougly for an hour and a half, browsing, whatsapp, youtube and got 6 hrs and 13 mins of SOT on wifi the entire day. Pretty awesome. I hope the phone holds on like this in the future..
[LG G6 Real Life Review] WAIDroid:
what Carrior you on? Awesome SOT
[LG G6 Real Life Review] kartoonz:
Im based in india, on the vodafone network. My network at work is generally bad, but im glad the phone doesnt loose alot of battery in the idle state. Oh and the SOT i achieve is without the screen on feature. I don't find it useful ?
[LG G6 Real Life Review] dangtoi1993:
i easy got 2h30 SOT watching movie with 20% battery lost, (60% brightness, bluetoth speaker out)
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Ashley david:
I am also from India but I only can get up to 4.5 hrs of sot.how did you achieve that
[LG G6 Real Life Review] kartoonz:
To be honest, even i'm surprised with the battery performance. my htc m8 barely gave me 3 hrs 30 mins SOT. Below are my settings, though nothing unusual-

1) always on screen turned off

2) running nova launcher

3) brightness between 40-45%

4) location services turned off

5) auto sync is turned on

6) disabled gmail and installed mail.ru (gmail was the biggest battery drainer in my case)

7) and i use still wallpaper (dont know if thats relevant)

If all of the above doesnt work for you just share your battery stats under usage.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] dieselhazza:
I wonder how battery life compares with P10 plus
[LG G6 Real Life Review] zathus:
Really? Gmail was draining your battery? Was it showing up as Gmail or something else like Android os?
[LG G6 Real Life Review] kartoonz:
No surprisingly it was gmail. After screen on and phone idle gmail was third in the list. I tried to postpone refresh intervals to hourly but it didnt make any difference. Hence i installed mail.ru and stats have improved considerabily.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] zathus:
Perhaps it's a regional thing. I don't think I've ever seen Gmail on my battery usage list. And I have 4 accounts syncing. Glad you got it taken care of though
[LG G6 Real Life Review] qer0si:
I'm pretty happy with the battery performance. I was 7 hours in a place with low reception and no wireless, always-on display enabled.

Disabled whatever bloatware I could including Facebook and Instagram. Location was also on high accuracy. It's just day 1 with the phone but I'm quite content with it :)
[LG G6 Real Life Review] glenn0369:
Wow! Duly Impressed!!!

Day 2 of Testing: Off charger at 5am, battery down to 3% at 10:20pm. SOT 8h30m.

Details: No AOD, no battery saver, no quick charge ups. Screen at 40%. Location on High Accuracy. Beam off. Gestures off. Cloud print off. 'Ok Google' voice activation on. Play Store auto update Off. I use dark theme with black wallpaper and lock theme. VoLTE is off. Wifi calling off. Low Power Estimation Off. Display dims at 2 minutes. Wifi on when plugged in or screen on... off when screen is off and unplugged.

QuickMemo+ was uninstalled on date of purchase as it's a major battery hog Greenify app used. Wifi-BT on. Location Wifi-BT scanning turned off.

Pics provide the data. 2 days solid battery stats.

T-Mobile LG-H872 unrooted
[LG G6 Real Life Review] kartoonz:
Im really happy to see that atleast 90% people are reporting the battery to be on the positive side. This proves that gsm areana reviews are sometimes biased and have to be taken with a pinch of salt.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] tanghao:
Try uninstalling quickmemo
[LG G6 Real Life Review] EMJI79:
Has everybody noticed real increase in battery life after uninstalling Quickmemo? Because if people thought it uses big battery like 4-8% based on consumption inside the settings app figure they may be mistaken: although it is inside the quickmemo section it is the battery used by all the UI modules:
[LG G6 Real Life Review] xPhantom:
Hm... I have a Sprint G6 and have not been able to get anywhere near 6 hours of SOT yet. I've only been averaging around 3 hours. Today is my second day using the phone. I'm not sure what's causing my poor battery life. Today, according to GSam, "Call services" and "Kernel (Android OS)" are the top two items on my "% Power Used." It also seems to have quite a bit of "Held awake time," but GSam reports Kernel (Android OS) as causing the most time held awake.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] glenn0369:
I'm amazed. Not typical but my phone is above the average.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Sid@developer:
Hi all....My G6 is 4 weeks old.... Indian Version...with Dac and 64GB....I hardly get 4hrs sot....no always on display....then I used a theme ...Pixel theme fr G6 frm playstore...today I uninstalled it...getting 5hrs sot.... is it good ? Will the sot be more ??
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Ashley david:
Yes my LG G6 is also Indian variant .I also get 4 and half hours of sot only what to do
[LG G6 Real Life Review] bustedukulele:
My battery life is atrocious. I just got the LG G6 from AT&T and the first day the battery life was ok but every day after that my screen on time has been around an hour. I've tried to force stop the quick memo app but I cannot delete or disable it. It was using 23% of my battery one day. I'm usually out during the day so I'm not on WiFi.

I'm at a loss for the disparity in battery life for different devices. Has anyone found a fix for the AT&T version? I'm probably going to be returning mine and taking a hit on the restocking fee.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] sdbe:
I have been using the ATT G6 for about a month and the battery life is fine.

I don't see Quick Memo in your screen shots. Where do you see it being the problem? But you are right, it can't be disabled on mine either.

I have used several tools to monitor battery performance and Quick Memo doesn't even show in any of them.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] bustedukulele:
Quick memo is listed under Android System. If you go into the Apps section in settings and click on quick memo it will tell you how much battery has been used since the last full charge. 18% today... For an app I didn't open once
[LG G6 Real Life Review] joyj112:
Everyone. If you really want to get rid of quickmemo completely do a factory reset. Unless you have the european g6 and have root, the only way you can get rid of it is by factory resetting and not installing quick memo.

Also, let your phone settle in. It took me like a good week for my phone to settle in and adapt to my daily use. If i use it throughout the day, listening to music and doing my regular stuff i get around 3 to 4 hours daily. If i get sick and just be on my phone all day, i can easily reach 6 hrs of sot.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Sid@developer:
We have to find the culprit app....because if others can get near to 6hrs SOT with same 3300 mah battery...Why cant we...:confused:
[LG G6 Real Life Review] just lou:
How is a factory reset gonna get rid of Quickmemo?
[LG G6 Real Life Review] joyj112:
If yoy factory reset, you have the option to install quickmemo or any sort of LG apps.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] just lou:
I've factory reset my VS988 a couple of times and have not seen any options when it comes to installing/not installing LG's apps.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] joyj112:
This is what i got
[LG G6 Real Life Review] just lou:
I wish I had that option. :(
[LG G6 Real Life Review] EMJI79:
It is for whole Lg UI, not just quickmemo.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] bustedukulele:
Yeah.. my bad that does seem to be the case. If you check the other apps listed under the Android system category they will all say the same battery percentage. That to me is even more unsettling.

I factory reset my phone and the battery life has been amazing since then. I will get well over 4 hours of screen on time today. With that said I'm returning this device. I don't want to have to factory reset every week to get consistent battery life.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] alex_mx:
You may need to get an iPhone or maybe a Pixel, because after tried the S8+ for a few days, the battery barely got me 4 hours, and with my G6 I'm always getting 5 or 6 hours per day...
[LG G6 Real Life Review] glenn0369:
9h 20m. Not the average but my SOT is a beast average so far.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] xphyle1971:
After reading through this entire thread, I've come to the conclusion that all LG G6 devices are NOT created equal in terms of SOT. Some people are getting 4-4.5 hours SOT, while others are showing that they get over 7 hours SOT. I'm in the 4-4.5 hour camp. I live in the USA and use T-Mobile with a good signal in my area, but my LG G6 is the Korean variant (LGM-G600K) because I wanted the 64gb storage and the Quad DAC. I have disabled absolutely every piece of bloat that I can on this phone. Always on display is off. Wifi set to off when screen is off. Location is in battery saving mode. Screen brightness manually set and never over 40%. Quick Memo is NOT installed. Auto sync for most items is turned off (gmail, etc). I use Greenify w aggressive doze mode enabled. Nothing I do will get me better than 4.5 hours SOT. I just started using GSam Battery Monitor and it's not uncommon for "Android System" and "Kernel" to be my top 2 battery drainers, even ahead of "Screen". If I check battery usage under the normal Android settings it tells me that "Android System" is first, "Android OS" is second, and "Phone idle" is third, followed by "Screen" in fourth. I would think that "Screen" should ALWAYS be the biggest power user, but not in this case. Crazy. Any thoughts?
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Sid@developer:
Try a factory reset....for me.... Screen is always on the top and I also use the same Varient...bought in India...
[LG G6 Real Life Review] kartoonz:
Using the same variant, and my sot fluctuates between 4-6 hrs. I have been using live wallpapers, latetly and dont know if that's impacted the sot a bit. Honestly im pretty satisfied by the fact that even though its not consistent, its a big upgrade from my m8. Again as advised by others a factory reset should help. Do let us know if it works.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] greg elmassian:
glenn0369: how do you like / trust that gsam battery monitor app? What does the pro version give you over the free one?

Thanks, Greg
[LG G6 Real Life Review] scapeinator1:
It's a bit inconsistent at times. Most days I will get 3-4 hours SOT, assuming I have ambient display on. Yesterday I got 6.5 hours SOT watching youtube TV the whole day.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] lqbweb:
exactly the same experience with h870ds..... I dont know how you guys get that SOT. I cant get over 3 hours, no way.... trying to greenify everything, etc.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] bukithd:
I just ordered a US997 model and it will be in next week. I should get to see what the battery life is like on that one really soon.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] EMJI79:
Display brightness has a great impact too.

Perhaps we'll see improvement with software update (till another update brings is back...).
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Sid@developer:
Yea...you are right...we need 7.1 Update to improve battery
[LG G6 Real Life Review] octopusoh:
My experience with many other phones, including the ones from LG, is that there's no promise the newer Android version will improve battery life. In fact, the opposite is often the case.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Sid@developer:
As of my experience I felt the difference in previous Android Versions...in my old LG Nexus 5...battery life was drastically improved when I updated it from 5.0 to 5.1.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Mjuksel:
4 hours and 20 minutes over 67 hours :good:
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Inm8:
I got 16h standby and 6 hour sot yesterday. Heavy use. Connected to Bluetooth with location and data on using maps quite a bit.

Screen 24%

Phone idle 17%

Maps 16%

Snapchat 8%

Android os only at 6%

Ive seen multiple complaints about the battery in this phone, but im really not having any issues with it whatsoever.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] octopusoh:
Would you mind sharing your ROM info? BTW, I don't see Facebook on your list, which I found to be a major battery killer. FYI, I'm on v10c-SEA-XX ROM
[LG G6 Real Life Review] thetrangdam:
I've had my G6 for a week now, this is my SOT today.

I almost reached 6 hours and a half before the phone turned off itself at 1%. Pretty much satisfied as I did quite a lot of watching Youtube and Reddit since yesterday. :fingers-crossed:
[LG G6 Real Life Review] XDA_RealLifeReview:
When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the LG G6's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
[LG G6 Real Life Review] chinchillables:
I have been on and off mine all day without heavy use due to being at work, and by the time night came without me charging I was around 79%. This is from 5AM to 11PM. But I must admit... I went into the sttings and set EVERYTHING as inactive that I was able to do so and recommend everyone do it. The apps will never turn on or activate unless you manually open one in which case it will then stay active. It's great for apps that do crap in the background which you never use anyway. Oh, and I use Greenify as well, and always keep my tasks clear. So yeah... I'm used to saving battery by habit so my experience is different from most.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] joyj112:
My standby time has been brutal... Would not be using my phone for around 1 hr and then id see my battery drop from a 36 to 30.... I closed all apps and even used the smart cleaner to get rid of some.. I dont know whats the problem to be honest. If they can fix the standby drain i could honestly reach for 5 to even 6 hours of screen on time
[LG G6 Real Life Review] jakeyo:
My standby has been really good, I can leave it off charge overnight and can only go down 2% or so, but once I start using it the % drops heavily after 5 minutes or so. I've got to go through the settings to turn off notifications because I've noticed apps like candy crush giving me notifications
[LG G6 Real Life Review] vintagerock:
I agree with jaeyo, my standby time is amazing. Off the charger overnight for 8 hours i only lose 2%. I do have AOD scheduled to turn off from 11p to 5a.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] PHYCLOPSH:
Did you hook your phone up to a computer and use the ADB commands to enable Greenify's aggressive doze? That really helped me, Nougat's built-in doze is still crap compared to Greenify. Also, setting WiFi to inactive while display is off, as well as enabling data saver in data management to restrict mobile background data for all apps helps greatly with wakelocks. Also everyone should consider disabling certain notifications from apps like Maps and Assistant which can create a lot of wakelocks.

I wrote a few tips to help with battery life on Nougat in the G5 section, but it should apply here as well:
