Android OS - keep awake - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I got the G3 today and am still finding my way around. I am concerned that keep awake has been over 5 hours at this point. Can someone explain this to me or tell me what I can do to fix it?
Thank you!

yeah mine is almost the same as urs and my batt is good..lasts me about 6hrs just texting..insta.fb..whpp and internet

Glad I came upon this thread. My android os is always 14-20%. But my battery life and screen on time are ok. I was really stressing over it my first day with the g3. My g2,nexus 7 are normally 8-11%

Glad to hear your battery life is ok despite having the same issue. Is there anything to be done about it? I guess I worry it's just adding stress too the system by being awake all the time but I don't actually know haha. Hopefully someone on here will know.

What does "lowest possible" mean? The lowest possible on the phone? That would be 0%, which is very dark and pretty much unreadable, so I doubt that is what you mean (although possible, I suppose, if you're a masochist). Or do you mean the lowest that you can tolerate? If you don't already have one installed, there are various (free) brightness widgets that can tell you the brightness %.
Looks like CM (7?), it would help if you tell us which build (RC1, 2, nightly, etc.)
The Display power consumption will vary greatly if you have the screen on a lot, and are actively using it.
Post your active screen time - it looks like you were browsing a lot. For only hour, I wouldn't be surprised if with plenty of browsing that your display took 30 percent of your battery usage.
I use my phone as my browser most the time.
What do u use your phone for?

If you're keeping the phone on browsing or watching video, your display will easily be 30% of the battery usage. This really isn't out of line, especially over a 1 hr period.
Now, if your display was 30% of battery after 10-12 hours of normal usage, it would be surprising.
If you expect this thread to go anywhere, you haven't given us much information to go on, despite requests by various users. Nor is it really clear if there is even a question you are asking.
I appreciate everyones help, I have figured out the solution by by reading everyones responses:
I am simply on my phone to much!
THANK YOU!

No, your answer is in the usage. If you leave your screen on, it will be a battery drain. This isn't an issue lol. And I think you would get more helpful information by providing us with information first. We're just guessing based on one screen shot of 1hr7min of usage and no explanation.

My Galaxt S3 isn't charging. Help please!

So about two weeks ago, I switched to iPhone because I'm giving my S3 to my dad. I haven't used it since then so I fully expected the battery to die. However, when I went to charge it today the LED at the top left isn't lighting on and I get this

.
Whenever I try to plug in the battery while it's connected with the USB, the red LED pops up for 3 seconds and then it goes away.
Any ideas guys? Please help me.
You could have either bumped this other thread, or at least read it over, if you had searched first

I did see it. But we don't have the same problem.
My phone won't even get to the boot sequence and I know it's not a brick of any kind because the phone was working fine before I switched the iP5. I left the phone in the glove compartment of my car for a week or so, is it possible that could have messed with it? The phone was inside of the box and everything so I can't imagine it got too hot.
Well did you try the suggestions there? Keeping the battery out for a while and then putting it in and trying to boot?

Yeah I did but still no dice.
couple of things
Try a different battery
Try a different charger
Sometimes extreme heat and cold (from a glove compartment) can ruin a battery or the phone itself. Extreme temps are hell on phones. It's probably a good idea to remove the batterty and keep it inside if phone is being stored. Also, some chargers to go bad...had it happen. Anyway, you might have tried these things already. Good luck!:good:

N7100 stuck on "Battery loading" screen

That's pretty much it, it's frozen on this screen whenever I attempt to charge it and the power button does nothing except turning the screen off. It's been charging all night.

try to reflash the firmware with odin, or go to stock firmware with kies using this guide (you can find s/n of your phone by pulling out the battery)
report if it worked for you

That's the problem though, I can't get it into download mode nor recovery. From what I've found after spending some time searching, it's a flat or dead battery.

Nah, rooted and opened in the past. Not really a huge issue but I'll try with a different battery next week and hope for the best.

[Q] Has anyone tried this root method?

I came across this when searching for G4 root. https://www.androidroot.us.com/how-to-root-lg-g4/
Has anyone tried this? If not, is there any harm in giving it a shot?
Spam. You'll see root here on XDA before some news article.
Pretty sure that app will tell you the device is not supported once you installed it and all of its malware. I would recommend to run that app in a VM environment and prepare to delete it.
I wouldn't even try it. There is no root for the G4 yet.
Thanks for the advice. I assumed that I'd see it here first when it happened.

Here is what the OneClickRoot says when you go through the process:

Lame. Funny because it says it RIGHT on their front website that it has root. Marketing scheme.
Paid by the click. Genius I say. Lol

Best advice is stick with xda as they are the number 1 trusted site on my list i check the post and google everyday, so far no root. To let u know you may hear or read that there is a root method by jcase. But its not out because he and whoever is a dev working on root is making it safe for us so we dont brick our phones easy. It is really hard as i used to root the old way and boy it was a pain on the htc evo 4g. Just keep checking xda and later u will see root

I am seeing similar numbers on my new Note 7 on AT&T. So far the battery life blows for me, the set up is identical to my Nexus 6P except I have Google Now always on (launch from your voice regardless of whether the screen is on or off) turned off. All other apps are the same, sync is the same, etc. I'm hoping it's something simple or the phone just needs to settle in otherwise I'll go back to my 6P.

Tmobile here
Im guessing it still has the wifi calling bug from previous samsung phones
Good..so it's not just me. Android System is usually around 20% and now Android OS is around 20%. I am also on AT&T. Battery life has been pretty subpar in my opinion, so I'm hoping it settles in after awhile.

Yea, same here. I just tried wiping the cache partition, so we'll see if that makes a difference.
