E98x LP Battery issues Potentially resolved

Hi All I am Posting my results, I need a few ppl who could help and see if this is going to help everyone or only me
And to the critics, I will be doing a screen on time (SOT, ppl are asking and not getting answered) test, I am as eager to fix this so if you would like me to run anything while the screen is on, please let me know
An hour ago i put brightness at 100 while battery was at 50% been browsing the net with chrome using mobile data and it dropped to about 10%. Much less heat than expected although brightness was limited to 84 at some point. Will do a 50 brightness test tomorrow from full charge but wont be touching the phone much

Steps to Follow to give me info
Hi Guys,
Had a bit of time, this is the info I need, hopefully I will get responses from a view e98x variants, even other LGs would be great but please specify the details of your phone.
Download Battery Doctor from the Play Store google dot com/store/apps/details?id=com.ijinshan.kbatterydoctor_en&hl=en
Get it running , opened, etc and then look at the app usage info (scroll down) for the last 24 hours (seen in screenshot attached)
When opened please send me the screenshot or the the list of draining APPS, I have hidden my top drainer that consumed 98% of my battery in the other attached screenshot. At the time of my screenshot I have not uploaded, it has used 34% of my battery and has been disabed for 19 hours. I cannot yet suggest the name or anyone to do anything with the service yet as I am still attempting to find out what breaks (so far nothing.)
I will send battery updates as far as I can.

Another Test
So the next thing I have done is charge full again, set the brightness to 50% and played Hearthstone for 3 Hours, I am personally pleased with the results as i could not achieve 3 Hours with the Phone before.

i get 3.5-4.5 hours screen from 100%
with [ROM][5.0.2]STOCK LOLLIPOP G.PRO V1.5 of bountyman334
with few modification mostly removing system apps

hello
Can you explain me what should I do to improve the battery life?
I never could have more than two hours of charge with brightness set to 100%.
sorry for my bad english

Can you follow post 2 and send me the details, The item I disabled eventually disabled my MTP and USB Tethering, as it doesnt bother me yet, I am yet to attempt tpo fix it. I would Highly recommend 30 - 60% brightness, anything more seems to not have a major impact on brightness, it just reduces battery life and cause heat, which reduces the maximum charge of the battery in future

here is my screenshot, hope it helps u!

Hi brunosp7, the app I expect to see is not listed, this is a good thing, however viewing the list, it appears that some apps remain open after use. do you have an app that keeps backround apps in check, something like this battery doctor or clean master?

right now I'm not using any app to stop background applications.
by the way, I think the application you want is not listed because the battery doctor app disabled many programs and services the first time I started.

Facebook and FB Messenger dark versions?

Hey guys, I've been working on extending my battery life as much as I can so I use a browser (TUGA Browser) with a dark mode, which does noticably improve battery life.
Obviously TUGA isn't available in the appstore, is there any legit facebook versions anyone has made that are safe to use?
Thank you. I'm new to this so excuse all the questions

Seems to be quite old. Why don't you look around the store for an unofficial version? You'll save battery on top of the AMOLED effect!

I can answer that for him, yes. The Facebook app slows down any phone by a small percentage, and wakes it up a stupid amount of time and uses a lot of battery as a result. This app won't.

Facebook App is not as bad as it used to be. ...but also the fact that the original Facebook App is 100x bigger in size is not entouraging. I don't really use Facebook alot, but swipe basically doesnt show up in the battery Menu whereas Facebook does.

I can't get along with it, it's slow and clunky shame really. I wasn't getting message notifications either with it turned on. I'll just stick to normal I guess and hope some genius comes out with AMOLED versions of the actual apps/some sort of overlay for it.

Have you tried just using Chrome? Basically the same. AMOLED versions will be hard, as they update often sadly.

TUGA browser has amoled, could try usiing facebook through there I guess, but still, i won't get notifications so it's sorta pointless, although I could keep messenger and just use tuga for FB I guess?!

That swipe app is really bad at loading films and its not possible to search the normal way.

I'm doing okay with CM rom and standard Facebook and Messenger atm. Battery life is 7+ hours SoT atm, pretty good.
I havve battery monitor widget too and when usiing FB/messenger/tuga - I get roughly 10-12% battery drain per hour which is pretty good to be fair.

Well the more you use your phone, the longer your SoT will be, if you leave it on idle a lot or only use it for short bursts, eg 15 seconds to check something your SOT will be less, like yesterday i watchedd some youtube, didd ALOT of browsing, listened to music wiith screen on / stop watch (gym) and music + stopwatch together with screen on uses only 9% battery an hour so that adds like 2 hours for 18% battery on your screen on time.
Where as today i'm looking at around 5 hours as ive used 20% in a hour, just from checking/unlocking every now and again to reply to a msg, browse something really fast etc. and also had it on 50-100% brightness today cos im not going anywhere so may aswell have it that high and today/yesterday my LTE isn't working and getting poor signal(even though my carrier says nothing is wrong) raping my battery too.
Using the fingerprint scanner to unlock phone regularly to check something small uses battery a fair bit over time as far as i can see. 5 hours is good SoT either way.
Best thing was last niight, I put it on airplane mode @ 100% battery, 6 hours later woke up, 100% battery still. 0.03% per hour drain on battery monitor widget it said, lol.

HELP! Massive battery drain on OnePlus 3!

Guys, my OnePlus 3 (running OxygenOS 3.2.7 no root) battery is HORRIBLE! I can only get a maximum of 3 hours SOT from 100% to ~5%!
I've tried every method i found. I don't keep location ON, set my wi-fi off during night, i only charge it until full (NOT overnight!). Wiped my cache yesterday and still NO RESULT!
You can see in the screenshots below that #1 app that eats battery is "Android System" that has CPU total 2h 13m. (today)
Please help me on what to do!!!
>i'm a new user and can't post links to screenshots

Same problem here

Android system is supposed to do that. It's quite normal it really depends on usage. What are you doing in the meantime? What is your usage pattern?

Then the only option you have is boot into your stock recovery wipe your device and then installing all your essential apps initially from play store ....
Do this first then let me know the result.
Also do you use Wi-Fi or mobile data, if both then in what proportions?
I'll help you out mate worry not.

My man do as i ask you shall not be disappointed(hopefully).
But if what you want to do is find the culprit app then use wakelock detector from playstore.
The choice is yours.

Whoa! I downloaded wakelock detector lite now and i see that i can make it work even without root. This wasn't possible an year ago when i tried :victory:
I'm gonna come back with the results! Thank you!!!

I had the same problem with my OP³ running stock OOS 3.2.7 locked bootloader and unrooted. The battery used to drain by 15-20% overnight and also got similar results while using the phone during the day.
Yesterday night i installed google now launcher. The drain came down to just 2% overnight. For the first time i could see "phone idle" in the battery stats instead of android system.
Will use the phone during the day and report back today.
I figured from wakelock detector that the oneplus launcher was keeping the system awake by creating a wakelock for its weather service in shelf even when the option was turned off. Hope this helps you too.

Yeah, i also have Oneplus launcher keeping CPU awake and last night i installed nova launcher. Now the oneplus launcher is not keeping the system awake anymore but in phone's battery stats there is still "Android System" consuming 7% (the most) with "CPU total - 1h 20m" and this process never stops!
I will keep it 1-2 more days to see if something happens and if not, i'm gonna wipe it.

You can try turning off most of the gestures just to try and isolate the problem. Also are you using any of the navigation buttons to turn off screen? Because that turns of the screen but the phone doesnt sleep properly like its locked. Try and let us know about your observation.

The problem persists even though i switched to Nova Launcher. There is still "OnePlus Launcher" in Wakeup triggers (woke up 70 times from 100% to 77%) but on the first place is "Google Play Services" with 88 times until now. Btw, "OnePlus Launcher" is #1 consumer in CPU wakelock.

Alternatives to Notifybuddy

Since MIUI 11, a lot of us apparently have trouble making Notifybuddy work properly on our devices.
As it seems like dev of the app has not time / doesn't want to fix the app for MIUI users, I was wondering what was your go to app for screen notifications.
I tried several that don't work either, so I ended using "always on amoled" (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.newgen.alwayson).
I spent some time configuring it in the most minimalistic way and it does the job.
What are you using ?

This is a valid alternative indeed.
But I must say I like seeing the app notification icon on my screen all the time and glowing edges for a small amount of time (and possibly edge reminder every 5 or 10 min)

Whats a Good AOD App?

Hi guys.. I've tried using an AOD app called 'always on amoled.' Its a good AOD app. Unfortunately it drains battery 3% every hour even when I set the screen to forbid showing AOD except for notifications. Can someone suggest a good AOD app thats has a good battery footprint?

It doesn't drain that much .. your third party app will drain 2x more.. what u want everything to show for? so if the ''aod'' is ONLY, then why using always on display you don't need to use it when u want to show everything always on serves only for time n date ... nothing else .. later naively ppl started complain ooh there is no msg notification or mail or even more so huawei added it later on update.. and ppl STILL not satisfied
this oh and that too... so everything?? so don't use it then at all ..
