not true, mine never overheat when playing games or whatsoever, is a mith.

I done this in all my last 5 LG phones and never had overheat, always fresh, 31 - 42 max. with games.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] MDW 100:
So it increases battery life then you say? What about differences to performance and heat?
[LG G6 Real Life Review] sun_is_shinning:
see my screenshot, see ther SoT i have, and all with the ThermalMitigation disabled.

Heat is no difference, and if they are, is minimum (2 to 3 degrees), performance wise is less laggy because they dont trottle the CPU since is disabled.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] blackhawk_LA:
I don't think this option disables thermal protection. At least, not totally. And you're lucky it doesn't.

Cpu temp can easily reach 72 in seconds. Then thermal throttling tries to keep it under that temperature. Without any thermal throttling, unless you're using your mobile in Antarctica, you will end up frying the cpu.

You are only looking at battery temperature, which raises more slowly (and its limit is much lower).

Please be VERY AWARE when messing about temperature and electronics. It can led to damage to your smartphone, or in worst case, ignition/explosion of your battery.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] sun_is_shinning:
NO! when i talk about temp i saying the CPU temp, not battery, because my battery dont go higher than 35 in any case, i manage both temps with CPUZ and CPUTemp and i am saying ThermalMitigation does nothing when disable...

CPU temp dont go higher than 42 degrees celsius even with full load.

strange you saying "easy reach 72", dont know in what measure you use, since i am from Portugal and we use degree Celsius and not Fahrenheit.

Maybe your phone is under a high load maybe in background and you dont know and thats why you get too much heat, or maybe some sensors are defective.

That happens a lot, thats why many people have some kind of problems and others dont. Remind me of a lot of people having bootloop in LG V10 and mine never have one, and i have it for 2 years now and running everyday.

When you know what you do you are fine, when you dont...your problem, you are on your own.

So, dont tell me what i need to do or dont because i understand what i am doing and talking, im on LG phones for almost 10 years and always do the same and no LG phone died on my hands or get a lot of heat or something else.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] blackhawk_LA:
Those apps are not measuring cpu temp correctly. It's not possible that the cpu doesn't reach about 70°C during a medium/heavy task.

Try CPU throttling test and enable showing cpu temp. I've attached a screenshot of my results. Yours should be similar.

I'm not saying that you don't know what you are doing. But you should be more cautious, especially when giving potentially dangerous advise. Someone who read you could thought that there is no problem in disabling cpu throttling (despite in this case, the option actually doesn't disable it) and this could be dangerous.

Also, you can always be wrong (me too, of course) and I'm pretty sure that your cpu temp is usually higher than you think.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] sun_is_shinning:
well, i have done something curious and what change my mind, i run CPU Throttling with Thermal Mitigation Disabled, CPU really reach 76/78 celsius easy, and for curiosity i enable Thermal Mitigation, power off the phone let it cool some minuts and then try again CPY Throttling, and now it doesnt go higher than 72/73.

Another curiosity is camera shutter lag, with Thermal Mitigation Enabled they dont lag so much when shot a picture.

my mind just change about this but...is only 4/5 degrees more when disabled, and i am confused about camera shutter lag have something about this, but is anoying, when i got the phone first day and second the camera was really fast taking pictures but now, even with Thermal Mitigation Enabled is not so fast as they should be...
[LG G6 Real Life Review] blackhawk_LA:
Maybe it has something to do with settings in camera? Try deleting app data, maybe it helps
[LG G6 Real Life Review] MDW 100:
Where is this setting? Can't find it in hidden menu. Thanks.

My best SOT so far.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] andrstein:
SoT is such a drain. Its a little better with 8.0 though thankfully.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] N1X0M:
SoT on this phone is horrible, bought this phone in March expecting to be able to do light tasks, but the battery life tops out at 4 hours on a good day. Gonna switch to the Huawei Nova 3 when that gets released. As it seems it should do much better than this.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] VRsoldier:
Got about 6h 30min SOT 10% remaining on my h870
[LG G6 Real Life Review] clouds5:
SoT depends heavily on your usage... It can be amazing on this phone (see screenshot). But I obviously didn't take that screenshot after a 5h gaming session :D but if I continued using it i would have gotten something like 7-8h easily. I mostly used chrome, did a lot of reading and looking at the stats of my D&D character in an app called "5th edition spellbook".
[LG G6 Real Life Review] MDW 100:
I think my sot may have improved in the thinq update. Been playing "radiant defense" for like 2 hours or so today (yes it's very addictive), and still managing 4'30" sot with 5% left. Also I was messing around with the updated LG home app, so that's why it's used so much battery. Also seems to use loads of battery anyway, and kept crashing, so I went back to Nova.

Standby drain is total garbage though (about 1.5%/h) which is a shame. It's managed 0.1%/h before in a full afternoon and night off charger.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] theketansenapati:
From 100%->5% in 5 and a half hours of S.o.T. streaming Netflix on 4G data. Also, I had my Bluetooth earphones on. How does it fare?!
[LG G6 Real Life Review] IshsXda:
So i came across something that i think a lot of people miss. It seems sort of obvious and fortunately you can easily improve your device with this.

Android OS behaves such that more apps you have, the higher your background load will be regardless if the app is open because by default apps consume mobile data and often have notification active. The problem with this is, its useless for a lot of apps and eventually this extra load will have a noticeable impact towards your battery. You will notice OS/System consumption to be quite a bit higher. More apps, the higher it is.

The solution is to simply go to settings>apps>show system>data>uncheck enable data in background and its up to you whether you want to silent notifications.

Anyway here is my SoT for today. I would appreciate if others can share full screen shots of their usage :). I get anywhere between 4-7 hours depending. Days where brightness is up, AoD is active and usage involves bluetooth/location, it will dip to 4 hours across a 18-24 hours cycle. Other wise i get more than 4 easily.

Battery percentage: 38%

SoT: 4h 9 min

phone idle: 16%( .069%/h)

Via browser: 7% at 48 min

android os/system: 14%

Brave: 3% at 22 min
[LG G6 Real Life Review] AchimK470:
Hey, I don't find any "data" in system apps, what can I do, my battery life is very poor, I usually get just over 2h of SoT
[LG G6 Real Life Review] IshsXda:
oh sorry i skipped a step.

1. Settings

2. apps

3. three dots on top right corner > show system

4. press on any app and you should see data and inside uncheck the background data box :). You can also block notifications if you like.

Of course there can be a lot more reasons as to why your SoT is only 2 hours. This solution here will only benefit you IF your device is suffering from very high OS/System consumption and have a lot of apps. Have you observed what apps consume the most? Brightness is a huge factor to SoT. My brightness is fairly low on average. Make sure to turn off NFC/Location.sync and other features in the quick menu that you don't normally need. Install greenify so you can close heavy apps once you are done using them (dont use on apps you use very often, will hurt battery).

I got above 5 hr screen on time on my H870DS dual sim TWN Android 8.0 July security patch update. Using Mobile data around 3hr and I always open the wifi the whole day. :D

My lg g6 oreo

Only using instagram and messenger an calls and watching naruto in Chrome 6:10 hour's
[LG G6 Real Life Review] sun_is_shinning:
well, i must admit i dont belive what my phone just did last day, im on V20G Oreo, fresh flash with hard reset and debloat useless apps, rooted with Magisk with Melina Kernel and some tweaks here and there nothing special but my last 24h is using the phone as much as i can since i see from 100 to 82 drop with 1h and 42 minuts i really cant belive thats possible, and see what can i go with all battery, my use was 2h and 10m of youtube videos in 1080, 2h and 35m of listen music and the other 2 hours and the rest of minuts doing web browsing on Opera and other simple stuff, im at 35% brightness all time in this cycle, thats what i get:

7 hours and 28 minuts of screen on time, i was amazed with that, i have this phone since May and this is my second best SoT ever with this phone, first time i think it was 6h and 38 but now i beat them easy, i dont know why the phone just discharge so slow and battery came across this mark: 7h 28m...

really really good, but since this is inside house with WiFi always on, and screen brightness at 35% i think if im go out with 4G data on and more than 90% brightness this cant be archieved, but now i will test that and see if i get surprised. :)
[LG G6 Real Life Review] darek1995:
Yeah, confirmed. You'll hit max 3h of SoT.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] pawelo0808:
Sot 5h 2min @14%. Bought new G6 3 days ago, Oreo V20G. AoD on from 4 a.m. to 11 p. m. Wifi and mobile data on turned off only by night. Brightness most of time >50%.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Overlord Gaia:
Well. I guess my SoT is almost decent for the G6 battery. US997 stock 21d oreo and everything stock
[LG G6 Real Life Review] DiesFrae:
I have total usage 6h 16min screen usage 1h 39mins ( everything is stock with auto brightness and always on display on) and im at 58% (left) is this good? ( i exchanged my xiaomi mi a2 for the LG G6)

update:

now at 2h 14min screen usage with total of 8h 44min (always on display is off) and im at 51%
[LG G6 Real Life Review] adorable:
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!

For Google maps, NO Google location allowed (cell tower). Yes,.you'll get a pop-up asking each time you start maps, click disable, but the moment you allow Google to get precision location, everything including play store starts sucking up location (battery) info in the background all the time.

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.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] darek1995:
That was a really bad trade in terms of overall performance, and battery life imo.

If anyone would offer me a trade of my G6 to an A2, i would accept it immediately.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] e20140:
I have to disagree. Stock to stock comparsion, both have very similar battery score and Mi A2 is running Android One program, plain android OS. If you tweak and remove bloatware or put plain Android OS on the G6, it actually has a better battery life. Plus, G6 has better hardware all around and IP68!
[LG G6 Real Life Review] darek1995:
There is no perfect custom ROM for our G6 since we have only 1 dev who actually working on LG blobs, and doesn't matter which ROM/setting i use, the SoT is terrible. I tried everything as you can imagine.

I use HavocOS as my daily driver, and it performs really well in terms of stability, performance, but the battery life is just as on every ROM. I even use underclock to 1,28GHz-1,59GHz.

My mom has an A2, and she easily hit 5-6h of SoT in a 2 days of overall usage, and it can be better on custom.

The raw performance of the G6 is better, obviously, but the A2 just much much smoother than a G6 especially compared on stock vs stock.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] e20140:
My 2 year old G2 with only est. 2700 mAh capacity can still hit 5 SOT easy and last a full day. My daily avg SOT is 4 hrs with 20% left at the end of the day. I've AOD, livewallpaper, Pixel Launcher, 3 VOIP apps running at full time. I did time youtube running for 1 hour and my battery dropped 10%. Note: really depending on what you're running, for example, Gcam taking HDR+ will kill the battery very fast! So is facebook as I was told.

Have you run a check on your battery capacity? Maybe there's your issue, IDK. When mine get below 2500mAh, I'll replace my battery.

P.S. I am running a rooted Stock ROM 20g with openGapps installed
[LG G6 Real Life Review] J-Zzz:
Here's my average Accubattery stats.

Ignore the Combined use stats. It's a bit higher than normal since there were off days this week, so I used it a lot during. Normally it's at 6-7%.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] MDW 100:
Your standby drain is quite high, I suggest getting greenify and enabling aggressive doze if you haven't already
[LG G6 Real Life Review] J-Zzz:
Note this doesn't just include standby drain but also cases where the screen is off but apps are still running. Like the Music or Spotify app. Taking that into account around 1.5%/hour is kinda ok?
[LG G6 Real Life Review] MDW 100:
Oh I see, well in my case when I'm streaming Spotify over mobile data to my Bluetooth headphones the drain goes up to about 4%/h (about 10x normal drain!), so the average depends a lot on how much time you are streaming for. Overall I'd say 1.5%/h is on the high side of decent (I used to get that on complete standby before I made a lot of software adjustments!), but I tend to stream on pc or while charging so I can't really say for sure
[LG G6 Real Life Review] J-Zzz:
I use Spotify on average about 20 minutes every day (on mobile data) and the Music app is used around half hour every day (on average). Also usually at home they're blasting on the phone speakers and that might drain more battery than using headphones.

During night the standby drain is less than 1%/hour.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] J-Zzz:
Here's updated statistics. This is after a bit more debloating and system app disabling.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Tag49:
Guyz I really would like to understand how is it possible to have +5/6h of SoT with this phone.

With Oreo ~3h/3h30

With Pie since yesteray : 2h20 !!!!

Already did factory reset and followed all guide to preserve battery...
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Dowper:
With Pie I also has decrease in SOT, i will try to make a factory reset.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Jostian:
yip, obviously Pie not yet optimised, will wait for next version, my SoT went from 5 to 6 hours to around 4 hrs on Pie, so I downgraded back to Oreo, much happier. Must say my phone is debloated, brightness is not on auto, and AOD is off, with data only put on when I'm not in a wifi area.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] adorable:
Having used Pie 9.0 on my H873 for a few weeks and the OS has settled in with a few reboots to clear things out, the battery runtime is a touch better than 8.0. In cases where I'm surfing constantly in the same condition for 4 hours on 8.0, I can push it to 4:30 hours or so on 9.0.

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] shafi123:
Mine is worst ! not even 3 Hours of SOT 8.0 . Soon to change my phone
[LG G6 Real Life Review] SkylineDiT:
I have noticed that's sudden battery drain is caused by Google Play Services, sych issues or something like that. I am using custom ROM PE and have disabled some Google play services features and battery life improved, For phone app I disabled location permission for Google Play services disabled microphone permision.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] dalmm:
My Lg G6 after 2.5 years had the same bad SOT..but after replacing the new battery the SOT increased drastically from 4h to 6-7h [emoji6]
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Jeremiah Bonds:
Yeah that's weird.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] mr mystery:
You need the donation package. Go into Greenify settings and activate experimental features. This allows you to Greenify system apps.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Jeremiah Bonds:
I didn't and it works for me. Weird.. Which variant do you have? I have the ability to uninstall quick memo as well with the TMobile version.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] mr mystery:

I'm in Canada

[LG G6 Real Life Review] lanhikari3113:
I just updated my greenify to premium and finally snagged the Quick memo+ app into hibernation category. Hopefully today I break 6hr sot. I got 5hr the other day without it being greenified.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] mr mystery:
I'm trying ForceDoze now instead of Greenify as ForceDoze is open source
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Jeremiah Bonds:
I've wanted to try that. I'm glad they have the adb commands now. I'm not rooted.

Usage from today..not bad screen on 45%
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Jeremiah Bonds:
Nice, did you force stop quick memo or what?
[LG G6 Real Life Review] WAIDroid:
These are nice SOT! Must get the G6 as i have the G4 for just a few months left. Have 5 Extended Batteries @ Slim2&3 Large with cases but my 3rd Large is the big @10,000mah (Look HERE) Not too sure about the Quick memo+as i never use it but am sure it uses resources
[LG G6 Real Life Review] WAIDroid:
Hmm... How many Apps you have or opened cause that could be the problem
[LG G6 Real Life Review] bigsaucy71:
I ended up at 7hrs and 9mins SOT,wish I would have taken a screen shot but from 5% to it powering off it happened quicker than I though it would...pretty impressed,this is best performing phone I think LG has produced..I was a little leary about getting the G6 considering battery performance with my G4...glad I did
[LG G6 Real Life Review] mr mystery:
ForceDoze is legit. Working great and doesn't clear notifications. No need to force stop QuickMemo+ either form what I'm seeing
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Jeremiah Bonds:
I tried it but for some reason my phone drained crazy overnight.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] mr mystery:
Weird. Did the job for me over an 8 hour period on standby last night
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Jeremiah Bonds:
I'm trying to find the culprit but I had a ton of wake locks last night.. Went from 100 to 82 in 7 hours.. Weird.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] WAIDroid:
If y'all get 7+ Hours of SOT with the G6 then I'll be getting it next. With my G4 on my TQTHL Battery 10,000mah it last 3 days with 11HRs SOT so looking forward to testing the G6
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Jeremiah Bonds:
Some have reported 6+ hours.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] lanhikari3113:
Man I have to thank you I used adb to turn the aggressive doze on in my greenify. And my outlook has changed. I will upload a screen later of my stats but I was really giving it the wringer and I'm super impressed with the results today.

Edit: also it has not gotten warm even once since enabling it. (Full brightness watching YouTube on lte in the sun 18~min)
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Jeremiah Bonds:
I used aggressive doze with greenify on my v20.. Loved it. It's a must.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Jeremiah Bonds:
Ok, with my overnight drain, I still got 4.5 hours of SOT. Lol starting from 75%View attachment 4124075View attachment 4124076

How did you get forcedoze to work?? I typed in the adb command and restarted forcedoze and it still says im not rooted to use the app
[LG G6 Real Life Review] mr mystery:
There's 2 lines you add in adb right? Make sure you typed everything exactly as shown
[LG G6 Real Life Review] LaNsLyDe:
How are you guys getting so much SoT? I get 6hrs on a mi mix and that has a 4400 mah battery lol.

You guys turning off certain sync and smart settings of the phone? Im at 29% battery right now and Im at 2h35m sOt. WIfi all day as well. AT&T variant. I do get crappy signal in my house though. Like 1-2 bars.

Edit: I also checked quick memo in settings..says it used 6% battery wth lol. I havent even touched it. And like the other person I'm unable to see it in Greenify.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Jeremiah Bonds:
I have multiple accounts syncing, Bluetooth always connected.. Location always on. :-p

6 hours

i got about 6h on my first day of using the phone
[LG G6 Real Life Review] WAIDroid:
You mean by Screen-Time or the Whole Usage? If by SOT Then that's good
[LG G6 Real Life Review] abdullahziad:
6h of sot, 26h up time (tried uploading a screenshot but xda won't let me)
[LG G6 Real Life Review] WAIDroid:
That's pretty good and I use the site: ImageBam and the Mobile Site of XDA and not the App they have

Yup. That's a great start!
[LG G6 Real Life Review] WAIDroid:
Indeed it is
[LG G6 Real Life Review] joyj112:
Tried giving greenify a try.. Still pretty bad when it comes to standby time.. If it wasnt for the standby drain honestly i think i could push out another 2 hours of sot
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Jeremiah Bonds:
Here's the end of my day.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Jeremiah Bonds:
Something is keeping your phone awake.. There's probably just one app causing the problem. Maybe try activating aggressive doze on greenify or downloading force doze
[LG G6 Real Life Review] mr mystery:
Force Doze is working for me so far
[LG G6 Real Life Review] joyj112:
I have aggressive doze activated and even gave force doze a try.... Nothing worked eventually.
