Hello title says all, just wondering.
Thanks
Why don't you test yourself?

Because maybe someone here already knows the answer? And I am testing it myself, but what if someone replies before I'm done testing, that'd be nice.
If the question bothers you, don't reply. You are the one who clicks the reply button anyways.

Very true this is extremely easy to test and there is no need to come here asking.
Doesn't seem to be draining any quicker than previous. Keeping it at 30% cause with franco.kernel auto brightness causes the phone to lag on unlock.
Seems like auto/30% is the same for the most part, at least I think so.

I just came from the Nokia n900 and having so many things working on the phone is a refreshing change! Ive lurked around and read a lot! As a result ive succesfully rooted my phone and have even tried out a few custom roms! However I have a question about a ROM im currently using but I cant post in the dev forum yet so I figured ill try here. Im currently using the digital warfare ROM and ive noticed that my powersave feature does not seem to work correctly. It will kick in regardless of the battery percentage I set. So ive just left it off for now. can someone help?

First I want to give you huge props for actually reading and doing all that on your own instead of posting a ton of useless threads with questions that can easily be found! But to answer your question, the My Account app has its own power save feature, try going into that app and adjusting it from there or just disabling it all together. Hope this helps.

Just disable the power saver in the my account app and use the power saver settings built into the phone, that's what I do.

Welcome to the family.
This phone is pretty beast, and it will only get better.
Thanks! I can tell! making the transition from hw Kb to all touch is kinda weird but this.phone is so capable and powerful its awesome!
Welcome dude and yea i would just disable this phone is great with battery life anyways. One suggestion tho i would freeze tmobile my account all together in titanium backup or uninstall it tgats if u have it installed it actually messes with wifi. When your on wifi it will turn on 4g signal whenever data is requested which isnt good cuz u think ur using wifi the whole time. Ever since ive disabled tgat app i have not had a problem with wifi or 4g service. I actually think its a way for tmobile to snoop on our data. I made a thread about this and other people have confirmed this app to be the culprit. I actually was gonna take my phone back because i couldnt get wifi to stay connected so thats when i started investigating and found this
Hmm I like to keep track of my data usage but if thats the case away it goes!

No im running at stock speeds
It's not unusual for a phone to get warm when running cpu/gpu intensive processes like games. It only becomes a problem when it gets incredibly hot and forces the phone to reboot or the battery gets too hot to touch.

Thanks. now i'm having a new problem. My phone will just randomly shut off and I cant turn it back on until I pull the battery. It has happened twice so far
is your phone hot when this happens? try darksides kernel. haven't had an issue.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
not hot. i just flashed his new rom/kernel combo with a clean wipe and as i was messing around with milocker it did it again. just shut off on me. only way to bring it back is to pull the battery. very strange.
You using a new ROM? I know you said new ROM/kernel combo but that could imply same ROM new,kernel. If youre on the same ROM, check the thread to see if its an issue with it I guess. Could always try a new one and see if that fixes it. Let us know if you find out anything.

I use 3G Watchdog. It's available in the market. Has a nice little widget as well.
As an Android Veteran i didnt know such app existed until i find it deep in some thread. I absolutely love it. Its a kernel mod so it basically runs native. and phone still deep sleeps and battery i havent noticed any affect.

I agree, its excellent and great to see such innovation on our GNex.
However, this probably should have been posted in the dedicated thread:

FYI, there is an official thread for it :highfive:
Fail! Lol sorry guys. Didn't know there was a thread already about it.
This actually is really cool. Thanks for posting. I bought the paid version after about 5 minutes with the free version.
Because the phone still deep sleeps there should be no (major) adverse effects on battery right?

That is correct. I also downloaded cpuspy app just to make sure. Its a kernel tweak so it basically runs native.
Thanks for this post op, I frequent this section often and never seen the app before, weird. Anyway, bought the full version and am amazed at how good it works.

I get 3 weeks out of one charge with my Nexus. But its on Airplane Mode all that time. CM12 - Best ROM so far.
Sorry... I see these threads all the time & I never reply. But I guess its just a pointless thread so I wanted to put a pointless answer.
They all drain pretty quickly
I think it's less about the right rom/kernel and more about using something like juicedefender or go power management from the play store. They help automatically switch stuff on and off that eats battery quickly.

In my experience definitely not true. At work I have a hit and miss signal. If I leave 3g active the battery drains really fast while the phone is sleeping. Like 10% in an hour sometimes. Turning on juice defender which for me is just disabling data while the screen is off. The battery will not move in the same amount of time. Maybe 1% will be gone.
I believe it is because the phone keeps trying to grab a signal in the weak areas.
Whatever it is there is for sure a huge difference. I have tested many times. Can hardly get through the day sometimes if I leave data on.
The thing I hate about it is a lot of the time the phone takes forever to reconnect so I have to wait every time I wake it.
i use my phone a lot for web, music, calls, messaging, social app, and the best kernel i used and put in my rom (but for maguro) is Trinity Kernel 1344 cpu / 384 gpu Stable35. i advice this kernel . for the rom a stock rooted, busyboxed, deodexed, zipaligned and with useful build.prop tweak for battery life. this has been my philosophy for my rom and i'm very satisfied

Hello Forum,
So i have been having trouble getting good battery life. I basically have nothing running and it goes dead. I think i might be on the right track but not sure.
I was looking at my android system in battery and noticed that the stay awake time was really high as anybody else seen this.
I added a screen shot so u can see. Any help would be great.
Thanks
SHiFT.
Dl better battery stats, it will tell you exactly what is keeping your phone awake. Not much assistance can be given until you know exactly what's causing the issue. Also try a simple reboot, at time something in android system went rogue on me and a reboot fixed it up.

Try holding down the middle button until the task list pops up and hit remove all, this has helped me. I also switched to nova launcher which I think has helped.

Hi guys is the OS update to marshmallow going to help with battery life? Especially SOT? If so by how much do you believe?
Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk
You will get 27 hours screen on time and 7 weeks of stand by time. Marshmallow will also solve world peace.
When you wake up from fantasy land you still have to debloat and use better battery stats to find what is draining your battery. Amazing that you create so many threads for the same issue but don't take the advice given.

Standby time doesnt mean much. Its the SOT that matters. A phone is no good if the screen cant turn on because your battery is dead after 2 hours of screen on time. I wonder what kind of impact marshmallow is going to have. I doubt it would solve the problem
Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk
I wonder why you refuse to learn what is truly causing the battery drain? Most of us get 3 to 4 hours and are quite happy. You just expect the answer to magically appear

Just migrate to Genisys ROM. The dev has done an incredible job on optimization. I was dealing with 2 hours SoT and with Genisys + mods by myself I got almost hours (in general 3~5 hours depending on brightness and used apps).
Indeed you have to listen to advice given by @tdevaughn there's no point for members to create multiple threads deprecating SoT if you don't even handle the problem.

I am busy downloading it now as I have heard that the battery is good on it. I am keen to try it out. How long does it take on the G4 to stabilise after wiping and flashing a new ROM? I have only just started to do the wiping etc but I have had the phone since July I have the international H815P variant if that makes any difference.
Freshly installed with few apps I got 5+ hours. Now with 30+ apps and 'normal' use it's about 3-4 hours SoT. Still good.
I'd say it takes a few days for overall system to have stable stats.

The evil here
To give a more serious reply from what I have read about Marshmallow they have put a lot of work into "Doze" which should boost standby time a fair bit at least for those that don't use apps like Greenify. So indirectly you might get a boost in SOT as you wont lose as much battery while the phone is idle. For people that are on their phone a lot I would expect no real improvement on screen on time. You can only so much with smart software when ultimately its a big power hungry device with only an okay sized battery.

Probably it will improve standby battery time, with "doze", and few more
IMHO G4 battery life is good right now
Hey everyone
I can confirm better standby time. 4% battery drain in 12 hours, which was under 5.1 ~10%. Can't say anything about Sot, because I have Marshmallow installed since yesterday. Good luck with gathering information
