If I were to point arty which could be the reason or of what you've listed I'd have to give it to play services. Reasoning is that every time I go into the battery section on settings it's always running.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ramprasad92:
Yes true, its always running, is there anyway to disable it as i dont really game from my mobile ?

---------- Post added at 04:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:50 AM ----------

I believe its play store update alomg with download manager trying to poll for updates in the background thats drenching the battery.. 5 hours of light usage has sipped Rround 9 percent of battery.. Along with SOT of 40 mins.. Is this usual?
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] jshames:
Not that. I have that feature turned off, but still same battery drainage.

hi! HELP ME! What system app, google or LG, can I disable without "ruining" the stability of my smartphone? Thank you
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tag49:
from my experience :

I did all the tricks expect :

- greenify stuff

- reduce resolution/DPI

Honnestly I am quite disappointed. I saw a lot of reviews about a decent and good battery life, with people on 5-6 SoT with "normal" usage, data enabled, call, messaging, web browsing, few games...

Even with low brightness, every time I hit any app (especially camera and browsers are battery consumer), I instantly loose 1%.

I have no draining app such facebook or bloatware running in background.

Any clues ? :(
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] darek1995:
Anyone can attach battery idle results? Cuz I have drained 300-400mAh by 7-8hours of idle.. Is it normal?

Btw, I'm on Fulmics: Greenify + ForceDoze + 1080P resolution + deleted lot's of bloatware

As far as I can tell, the Oreo update introduces a lot more battery optimization and other user-customizable options to enable or disable apps in the background, which seem to have improved my battery life a little bit.

In terms of actual battery life, I only upgraded to Oreo yesterday, so I have yet to see a difference.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ramprasad92:
Hi fegitoli, you received the oreo update from lg ota ? As i heared they are going to do release it for all location this month..

Hi fegitoli, you received the oreo update from lg ota ? As i heared they are going to do release it for all location this month..

Waiting for your update on the idle battery usuage after the update ?
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] fegitoli:
I'm using an H873, which is the Canadian variant. Only some got the OTA. I flashed it using LGUP. I will give an update on my idle battery usage soon.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] fegitoli:
Thus far, I can safely say that my battery life has overall improved after updating to Oreo. I use my device very heavily, so it may be better or worse for you depending on how you use yours.

The best I've been able to get is roughly 4 hours SoT. When you factor in constantly disconnecting from a bad wifi connection, graphically-intense gaming and music playing in the background almost constantly, this is good.

In the same conditions in Nougat, my SoT has increased by about an hour. Remember that there are new settings to play around with in Oreo that improve battery life that I haven't fully utilized yet.

I will gladly answer any other questions about the update itself.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] GD59:
Hi everyone.

I am currently playing with immersive mode on my G6 and thus trying to do as many battery saving options as possible. I am testing full hd resolution but got two problems. First is with AOD which looks so bad I cant use it. The second is with my wallpaper. It got zoomed in a lot and I am not able to fix it. Even when I am trying to download new one in full hd resolution. Lock screen wallpaper remains fine without any change.

Thanks for any tips.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] darek1995:
Everyone has that AOD issue.

Use this:

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] fegitoli:
I used ADB to change the resolution and DPI of my device on Oreo.

In addition to the nasty aesthetic bugs present in Nougat, some animations - such as the one when unlocking the phone with the screen on - are a little broken. "Broken" meaning aesthetically displeasing. This does not remove any functionality of the phone.

If you don't care for visual bugs, changing your screen resolution may just give you that extra push of SoT you've been looking for.

Also, for those who use Greenify, ForceDoze or any other apps of similar nature, you should probably uninstall them once you upgrade to Oreo. After I deleted ForceDoze, my SoT increased rather dramatically from 3-4 hours to about 5 and a half.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tag49:
Honnestly I dont understand.

I have no consuming app like facebook etc, I have a "normal" usage of the phone, data always enable, messaging, browsing, few calls, low brightness.

I did everything advised, especially reducing the DPI and resolution, because many people said it was the magic solution.

But I am still at 3h / 3h30 of SoT. The max I can do is 4h when I am on wifi all the day. :confused: :(
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] sun_is_shinning:
Have you disable LDB/MLT and disable Fast Dormacy? You will get more SoT if disable this. With Nougat i can get almost 6 and half hours of screen.

Also if you are unrooted (like me) you should try uninstall apps via ADB like i do to get rid of useless apps.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tag49:
Yes, LDB / MLT are disabled.

What is Fast dormacy ?
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] fegitoli:
Changing the resolution will not improve your battery life significantly. I assume you've tried debloating as well, so that's out of the question.

What I suggest you do is find "Running services" under Developer options to find what's hogging all your battery. If you're able to disable - or better, uninstall - that app, then do so and see if you notice a change in battery life.

Also, if you haven't tried debloating using LG Package Disabler, I suggest you do so. QuickMemo+ was a big battery drain before, but it can only be disabled through LG Package Disabler.

Just be logical in your ventures through LG Package Disable. Don't senselessly disable the System UI or anything else that looks important.

Anyways, let me know with a thanks if your battery life improves!

---------- Post added at 05:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:53 PM ----------

I'm not quite sure myself what Fast Dormancy is, but it can be disabled in the service menu.

Dial *#546368#*XXX# where "XXX" is your model number.

Go to Field Test > Modem Settings > PDP Setting and change Fast Dormancy to "Disabled".
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tag49:
Thanks for your answer :)

It seems Lg package disabler is no longer on the store, or it's no longer a free app ? https://xdaforums.com/lg-v30/themes/lg-package-disabler-t3710386

Btw, in Running service, I did not see any strange app... :

there is AOD provider : 1 process and 0 service (strange because I disabled it, but it's only 4 Mo)

QuickMemo+, 0 Mo, always in "reboot in progress"

Font Server, taking 5% of battery, dont know what it is

I think we do not need to touch to LgSmartcardService, Lg connectivity Service, and other android like stuff
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] fegitoli:
I see. You could always use ADB to debloat your phone, but there would be no way to get these apps back unless you factory reset your phone. It's up to you.

You COULD just try factory resetting. I've seen that it fixes a lot of problems with battery. Make sure you back up your phone first.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] GD59:
Hi.

I don´t know if it was the same with Nougat, but after upgrading to Oreo, I noticed weird thing. The screen-off drain went from 4-5% in 8 hours to literally zero, which is awesome. The point is, screen-on drain went a bit higher. From lets say 17-20% to 22-24%. I noticed that while checking Instagram, the "at the moment" mA/h consumption is between 1 000- 1 400mA/h. Is that a normal number? I didn´t notice such a big number before, but maybe it was the same.

I am running my device with immersive mode through UI tuner. I also use All in one gesture, forced long display, full HD resolutin, DPI 450 and Nova Launcher.

Thanks for the answer, just wanna check if that cunsumption is OK or if I´m dealing with some sort of a problem.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] darek1995:
I updated yesterday (H870), and I think nothing better..

Idle drain is still ~42mAh(/h), the screen drain is about 155mAh(/h).

All log service disabled, bloatwares are disabled/deleted, resolution on FHD, AoD off, auto sync off, battery saver is on, location services are fully disbled..

I almost feel like I have an old Symbian phone, cuz I disable all the features that comes with this good phone, but the battery life is still SUCKS.

I have remaining 55% right now:

2h 25min SoT

4h 40min Idle
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] fegitoli:
Long story short, disable force long display.

I'm not exactly sure why this is, but force long display uses up a lot of battery. It also heats up the phone a lot. I also noticed an excessive battery drain with force long display enabled, so try disabling it and see if it makes any difference.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] darek1995:
+EDIT

Only on WiFi usage: Media streaming(movie), YT, FB, etc, 40-70% brightness level:

4h SoT

21h 10min Idle

40% remaining of the battery. Wow. I'm impressed.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tag49:
Here my frist feedback just after oreo update.

So I did a factory reset after the update, so phone is almost "'clear and new".

I just debloat some apps, disabled AOD, Logs and LDB, wifi/bluetooth scanning.

Resolution and dpi are still native.

2 days on Week end and this morning at work.

During week-end large part of wifi, otherwise always mobile data on.

GPS always disabled.

Main usage : Sms, Youtube, Whatsapp, Slack, calls, few game, Chrome, few photos.

phone total using time : 1 day 14h 15 min

SoT : 4h 2min

Pointless to say that this morning, the last 37 percent melted like snow in the sun. Seems no wifi = no battery life

Btw, the new stock battery monitor app is really strange. You can filter by "application usage" or by "all usage", but the results are weird.

For instance you can see that Gboard took 34% of total app usage (486 mAh) ! But in other screenshot, it seems that Calls took the most part of app usage (9%).

Anyway, quite disappointed :crying:

edit : during night (7h) with flight mode, lost 1%
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] frostwildfire:
Hi guys Im on the sprint variant and flashed the H873 Nougat KDZ, so far is really good to me. I have disabled LDB, AOD, Logs and wifi/bluetooth scanning from location, unplugged the device like at 6:20 A.M. and at this point have 67% remaining with 3:12 hr SOT. Didnt messed with the screen size modifications.

Listened to music with bluetooth headphones for about 15 min, whatsapp, LG smartworld, facebook, ebay, also running Nova launcher and Xwidget. Have location on battery saving mode, 10 min on LTE and the rest with wifi.

Im impressed with this device, also have a nexus 6P and had no more than 4:30 hr SOT with 15% battery remaining, almost the same usage or little less with stock ROM on Oreo.

Sorry for my english.

##Im having 5+ hr SOT before plug tje charger.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tag49:
I would like so much to have the same SoT :mad:

Btw other remark :

I disabled LDB and logs when I get the phone.

Then, I did a factory reset before and after upgrading to Oreo.

And I though that LDB and logs were reset to default value... but no, it's the first time I access to the hiden menu, and LDB and logs are still disabled, despite the factory reset.

So my questions are :

is it expected ?

And how to do a proper and total "factory reset" ?

Thanks !
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] frostwildfire:
Hi, you updated your phone from KDZ right? you did it well, I did the same thing as you when flashed the KDZ but have Nougat installed not Oreo. I never update my phones when new OS is released because of this, and not gonna upgrade it to Oreo because im very happy on Nougat and with my SOT endurance.

Hope LG make a quick update and make the battery great again.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tag49:
Nop, I did not use KDZ, only do an upgrade to official OREO prodived by LG with the tool LG Bridge.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] frostwildfire:
You should give a try the KDZ way and see if it makes your battery better, never used LG bridge before and dont know if its the same as KDZ method.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] IshsXda:
I used to have great battery life. 7+ hours of SoT, with 2 hours on the browser mixed with other stuff. But for some reason no matter what i do i am struggling to get even 80% of the awesomeness in the past. I have been aggressively working on some how bringing it back to its original glory. Factory reset, debloated almost everything, turned off most features like wifi, bluetooth etc. Honestly at this point i only have the launcher, LG keyboard, music and video player left. I did lower res down to 1080p/400.

But seriously how dafuq my battery become like this.....I take care of phone so well. One charge across 24 hour to 36 hours consistently since i got it.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] boomboomer:
How old is your phone? You won't get new battery performance from an older battery, no matter what you try.

---------- Post added at 07:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:48 AM ----------

I've tried all the suggested changes, except the resolution change, and on Oreo I'm now getting standby consumption of 23mAh on wifi and 32mAh on 4G, which is much better than when I first got the phone.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] jshames:
From reviewing most of the posts on this subject it seems that battery performance under Oreo is just as inconsistent as it is in Nougat. People are seeing either no change, improvement or deterioration:D.

I am still in Nougat, and it varies greatly day to day or even within the same day-- sometimes the standby drain is terrible, then suddenly its great, with no change or difference in usage or clear explanation. That is why we're getting all of the contradictory reports after upgrading, because you simply can't tell.

All of the so-called battery tips imparted on these threads don't seem to make more than a few % points difference in the course of a day. Not consistently, anyway. People say "I did this or did that" and it either did or did not help....

The bottom line is-- don't wait for a big change in Oreo, or upgrade for that reason alone. There are no magical tricks that Google did, and you can't defy physics.

In any case the battery life is good enough to get through a full day with moderate usage, which is pretty much what all decent phones get, so there's really not much to complain about.

If you have very heavy use-- keep a charger handy--Duh!!!

For anyone who wants proof of my battery life, here ya go. I used my device pretty moderately today and did not have battery saver on at all.

If you're wondering about my status bar and nav bar, I used substratum.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] DJPRMF:
I'm also in those kinds of values. I really don't know how can someone get 6 hours of SoT in G6...

But i want it... :D
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] sun_is_shinning:
i can go almost 5/5.30 hours of Screen On Time pretty easy.

Rooted, bloatware removed and go to all of apps setting and turn off background data in almost of them, disable background running in the apps too and of course go into network and select 2G/3G only (4G/4G+ is a battery hungry dog).
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] GD59:
Thanks for your suggestion. I was testing my G6 closely for some time and here is what I have got.

I disabled "force long display". I did notice better battery life after that. I also switched to Tasker when it comes to "immersive mode". It seems to be much more battery friendly the "System UI Tuner". I have "mobile data saver" always on with the exception of some apps which are important to me. I run my device in full hd resolution. I also use Nova Launcher. Now "AccuBattery" shows me estimated SOT with 100% charged battery around 5h 30m. "3C Battery Monitor" shows the same and the reality seems to be true, which is good enough for me. I use a lot of Tasker profiles for automatization of basic things. The only battery saving one is that between 11PM - 8AM Tasker automatically turns off sync and bluetooth. That is pretty much it when it comes to any "special" battery saving stuff. My GPS is always on.

But of course the SOT 5h 30m is real when the phone is used normally. That means social media, browser, games etc. When I am for example traveling, using a lot of google maps and taking a lot of photos (google cam for both lenses), SOT goes rapidly down. But still I am happy with the way my battery runs now, I bought QC 3.0 powerbank so even on trips I am pretty much safe and wont miss anything.

E: btw, screen off discharging is a bit higher with all the things Tasker is doing, currently +- 1%/hour.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Flynnchen82:
First impression on my first full charge. This phone does a lot better then i was afraid after reading all comments.

I used it a lot today and these are my values as you can see.

No gaming or something special, mainly surfing, social media, forums, email and that kind off. 4G on the road and wifi at home.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] IshsXda:
So after factory resetting, restoring my backup, debloating (via ADB), following what this thread says, essentially turning off everything in my G6 that makes it a smartphone, and running multiple cycles (100%-5% battery 3-4x) my previously degrading battery life....DEGRADED WAY MORE LOL. I had 6h and 57m of SoT across 35 hours in the final cycle where i was essentially doing the bare minimum. Little bit of browsing, and videos. Messenger/Whatsapps etc. Sounds impressive right? Except for the fact i was running like only 25% brightness with BATTERY SAVER on top of this light usage.

Okay so, instead.....i did the normal simple approach of just factory resetting AND not restoring my backup (and doing some simple UI tweaks). Instead i moved everything to my external storage and downloaded a few apps first and second cycle. And the results are marvelous. The attached screenshots are with the G6 at its full fkin glory. NO BATTERY SAVER(except for last 10%)/AOD/QHD+/Google Assistant. It literally feels like a new phone again LOL. I had fairly moderate usage with screen brightness staying well over the measly 25% while watching a fkton of anime, using chrome to check emails/reddit and youtube for e3 stuff. Additionally, mixed usage of speakers/bluetooth headphones/wifi. And well look at that, over 6 hours just like good old times ^.^ Honestly im not going to even bother debloating (via ADB). I would rather just not take that risk, and losing my current battery life. I would prefer just doing this sort of reset every 3 months or so.

Phone idle - 0.63%/h

Crunchyroll - 66 min @ 14%

Chrome - 53 min @ 7%

youtube - 17 min @ 1%

Oh and i would also like to note Android system/OS and has dropped massively. I was getting around 20 to 25% consumption before. Now its 14%.

^.^

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] jshames:
Stock resolution. I haven't tried the modification, because typically I am not a heavy screen time user.

Checking the standby drain is almost a distracting obsession, but the drain does not really seem to affect my ability to use the phone for a full day without charging.

I know there are a few phones out there like some of the Xiaomi phones with 4000 Mah batteries that can get through 2 days without charging, but I haven't really run into a scenario where I need that. I suppose if you're going on a long hike or trip or something like that it might be useful.

Can anyone help with ADB commands after a upgrade to oreo and factory reset? Previously I have debloated using ADB successfully but now the commands dont seem to work. I have opened the platform tools folder on my laptop and then opened powershell. Then I Enabled debugging on my phone and plugged in phone via usb. Then I enter “adb devices” but the command is not recognised but says something along the lines that if I believe it to be correct to enter “/adb devices”. I entered this but it still does not recognise my phone. The phone also did not ask me allow access to my laptop when I enabled debugging.

Has something changed in Windows 10 or in Oreo when using ADB or have I just missed a step or been stupid?
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Arak0n:
Make sure you select "Charging only" and not "Transfer files", otherwise ADB debugging doesn't work.

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] fegitoli:
If you're looking at the phone from an inch away, you'll notice fuzziness, but assuming you use your phone like a normal person it isn't noticeable.

I've tried the resolution command and put the phone to HD (720) and modified the dpi to 350.

Marvellous results, the battery is really good and I can use it for 16 hours arriving at 0.00 am with at leas 15%.

My usage is heavily on calls (like 2hr a day) and listen some music and a lot of whatsappweb. Everything stock with Oreo, and I'm sure that I have some drain because I didn't perform any wipe after the update.

But I have only one problem: the camera app is completely fu*ked up. It semms that the original resolution stay applied to that app and everything is zoomed and I can't reach the "lens choice" buttons.

If anyone have a solution please let me know.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] darek1995:
Yeah, that's why GCam is suggested for this situation. Btw, sometimes the gcam is better than the stock.

Stock camera app, "Previous apps", AoD, boot animation are fcked up.
