How about screenshots without the volume indicator? You can also try GSam Battery Monitor from the Play Store, to get a little more information on what is eating the battery.

Did you install any app after or before update? Main reason for all drain is from app.

What's your screen on time.

Looked kinda like liteflow might be causing problems?
Cell Standby i think is the one that is coded wrong and is lying, ignore that one.
If you press Android System in settings, battery it will show you the top components being used
Also in dev options look for and check Show CPU Usage. It will show whats using the cpu in the top right of your screen. Watch for what stays in the top few spots in the list.
There may have been something that didnt like the update. Try first uninstalling apps and if that helps reinstall them clean, no data restore. If you continue to have problems backup all data and factory reset. Start clean.
If all else fails use odin to flash the full LH2 fw.
LH2 should be a fairly stable build. Most have no issues and many get outstanding battery life. Im willing to bet its either an app or the way you updated or both.

Yesterday before i delete liteflow the android system was always ontop of the list but now it is at the very end i hope that it was simply that because i have way too many apps to delete and re install :/ but ill see how it goes today i got root and cwm so ill probably odin the lh2 as you suggested ..

That's really not THAT bad for a screen on time. I saw your screenshots in the OP, and you were down to 80% in only two hours of being on the battery, but you had the screen on for almost an hour of those two hours; 20%/hr for the first few hours is pretty normal. It's not stellar, but I wouldn't say it's an epic drain that being said, I'm sure you could squeeze some more juice out of it, and prob is just an app causing more drain than usual.
Also when doing a screenshot, it helps to hit the power button first, then the volume, so you don't get the volume pop up every time.

3:30 screen on time it's good no matter how you use your phone. I got 2.45 hours on screen with 1day and 6 hours. I've had issues with liteflow and battery as well. Others say they don't, it seems to depend on how you set the phone and liteflow to work.

Why is my battery showing this?

My phone was working fine, but now this is my battery usage. I have restarted twice and it still shows like this.
Plus my CPU has been running for 248 days or something.
(Guess my pics didn't upload)
The battery is showing android os as 100% off my battery usage.

Alright, I'm a noob, I was with you up to reboot your device. "Go to recover and delete battery stats" was where you lost me. Maybe some more detail or a hint on where I can look to learn about it would be super helpful. Thanks.

Are you rooted at all? Installed any custom recovery? i.e. CWM or TWRP. You need to have installed a custom recovery to delete battery stats.
As for the android OS usage, that's very weird. Try searching it up on google and see if any results pop up. You could delete battery stats but not sure if that'll help. If you'd like to know how though, let me know.

If u r rooted and dnt have a recovery, download a app called 'sdmaid' frm store, and u wil get an option of delete bat stats!

Not rooted, yet, but plan to add I learn more. Well full charge tonight and see if it clears. If not, will search for similar issues as you suggested. Thanks.

I had that happen to me when I first bought the phone. Was terrified I would have to return it. Just charge it to 100% and reset it. No reason to put it in recovery or anything. That fixed it for me.

Unimprovements

Anyone else notice a worsened battery after the update? And is there anyway to get dolby back while watching videos?
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app

Question 1, No. Question 2, No.
Have you rooted and unlocked?
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium

Do you have Google Now active? I bet that is where the drain is coming from. Im seeing the same thing.

No I haven't rooted yet and I don't plan on unlocking and yes I have it active I don't want to turn it off though guess I'll have to suffer the consequence

Rooting and unlocking is huge if you want battery improvements. Removing apps such as google+ will help with battery drain and the ROMs we have out now also have scripts and other battery enhancements.

My battery seems to have gone down to. I might do a factory reset to try and fix it. That helped before. Also. If you look at my attached pic, your notice "peaks" in the graph. No I am not plugging into anything and yet I gain a percent here and there during the day. Anyone get this?
Also, with that pic, I don't have the bars under it showing screen on, awake times, WiFi on, charging or signal. How can I get these back? They are very useful pieces of info.
Sorry didn't mean to take over a thread. This seemed like a logical thread to post with.

Noticed the same thing. Kind of weird. Wonder if it's adjusting to try to give a more accurate prediction of battery level?

Can I just uninstall Google+ once I'm rooted?

Once you're rooted AND unlocked. You can't uninstall system apps until unlocked or you'll get a security error.

I have seen those peaks. The other day I restarted and the percentage in my notification bar changed by 3% immediately after the reboot. That said, I easily got 12 hours over the weekend on a single charge with decent usage.

Still looking in to a workaround. No promises.

Battery life for me seems fine. Only thing for me is that after the update I've been getting bad service. Can't download anything from play store unless on WiFi. Says I have 3g but downloads are stuck at 0%

Annoying hourly beep

I have installed jedi elite kit kat and from day zero every hour a beep and vibration notification happens.... how can i identify what application or setting is responsible of this? I have been looking around on forums and cant solve this
Thanx in advance

If you did nothing but install Jedi, I would check any preinstalled apps from your Google account. Or reflash Jedi.

Sounds like a calendar hourly Chime reminder or an alarm clock setting.
Let us know what it was.

If u check those both and nothing. Download better battery stats and at a min after open it and see what woke it up. Or log cat would tell a Dev what triggered the beep.
