Just wondering if anyone noticed any batter drain after using towelroot
No
If anything it's been much better since root due to greenify and freezing apps.

Same here.
Root will not affect battery at all. It's what you do/install after that affects battery. Rooting is just the key to a locked door.

Hi..... I just wanted to know if the rooted stock Rom has better battery life than the regular unrooted stock because the regular stock kills the battery really fast.

Rooting by itself doesn't do anything so...
No
i thought stock battery life was good. Maybe it is something running in the background that is killing your batter.
Being rooted you can remove a lot of bloatware to save battery life.

All superuser (root) is is a program designed to grant applications admin access to the device, rooting itself inpacts performance/stability in NO way whatsoever..
if you want better battery life, i recommend flashing a custom rom

which gives you access to remove bloatware... did you miss that part? If you strip down your phone and freeze/uninstall apps that ran in the background and/or used data when you don't want it to, then you will improve your battery life.
I think you fail to see what the OP was asking. it was about battery life, not performance or stability.
if you check the running applications and freeze the ones that run all day then ya better battery but obviously just rooting isnt gonna do it

Im with doug on this one, i think youre taking this too far. The op inquired if a STOCK rooted rom had beyyer battery life as opposed to a unrooted STOCK rom. As doug said, a rooted completely stock rom offers no battery life imprpvements on its own. Now performance to me is defined as the optimal battery life and efficiency of the device.

Darksides and Juggernaut are the pretty much stock with bloatware removed and some additional goodies which are super helpful such as the notification bar toggles. I'm currently using darksides and I'm seeing very good battery life on moderate use (2 hours display time at 50% brightness, 1 hour on Spotify streaming music and I'm down to 30% battery. Total uptime since last charge 13 hours 51 minutes.) Perhaps not the best battery life out there but it does the job for me. Also if you're gonna install either ROM, undervolt the cpu as well as underclocking it. It really doesn't affect the performance, its hardly noticeable actually.

Ah i see what you guys are getting at. Just misinterpretation of both parties. Yes rooting itself does nothing, but obviously something is killing the op's battery. I was trying to inform the benefits of having root and how it may improve his battery life by removing whatever is killing his phone.. However if it's from an app he uses then no help there.

If you want better battery life you can always try change the kernel first. You don't need to do pesky full wipes so you retain pretty much all your settings and stuff.
To start off, I think Faux's is pretty awesome.
You're not going to gain leaps and bounds in battery life until you find what is eating all that power on your phone. It is typically an app you installed, as I don't find the t-mobile pre-installed ones to be that horrible, except for lookout security. I think that'll be a big potential battery hog. OR it can simply be your screen brightness. The trick I find is to set it on the lowest setting and just be SOL when you're outside I mean heck, I really want that battery life!
You can always practice better battery saving techniques, like not leaving the wifi or wireless data on when not in use.
Is there an expert can comment on this? I felt like after rooting, my phones drain more battery than leave it Stock? Especially after removed bunch of ATT Bloats
Is android system relies on certain apps for functionality. and when it senses that some apps that it relies on are disabled/reemoved, it'll put in the "extra work" in continuing to 'connect' to these apps so, it drains more battery???
No. Rooting does not drain the battery more.
Rooting itself won't cause battery drain. What you do after the root can have an impact though.

No rooting device doesn't drain battery life but as WorldIRC stated its What you do after the root can have an impact.
To prevent bad results after root.
Install TWRP using goomanager and make BACKUP so you can recover stock image if things go bad
Hey guys
I recently upgraded to 4.1.2 and it's been causing a lot of battery drain.
Googleplay magazine app was taking about 28%,so I disabled it and now "Android system" is doing the same thing. I also have disabled GPS/location services and google now but it hasn't changed.
Any tips?
You CAN NOT do anything to reduce Android System usage. So if no app is causing major wakelocks and it's Android System only then you can't do anything but to bear it.

Yes, we only can wait for upgrade from Samsung... with 4.1.1 I had excellent battery, overnight with airplane mode, I hade like 1% drain, max 2%. Now I have like 10-20% !!!!! But I was afraid of Sudden Death Syndrome so I upgraded....

Nah, this rarel helps, I tried while I had Desire HD, and nothing helped. It is similar now with Note 2. It is simply OS that is causing it, not an app. The only thing that changed is android, all other apps are the same.....

Thanks but I already know what's causing the battery drain I just don't know how to fix it.
Update: I disabled google sync and things got a little better,but still worse than 4.1.1
If you have a powerful device, expect battery to drain fast unless you do battery saving tips. But for me I bought this beast to maximize its potential so its ok for me if battery drains... thats why it has a removable battery compared to the norms now which is non replaceable ones...

I know but with 4.1.1 I experienced much better battery life w/same usage.
Anyway,I reset back to factory settings and still,the "android system" is eating a lot of battery so I guess I have to revert back to 4.1.1 :/
hi guys
I downloaded the update but it wont install as im rooted. Does anyone know what the update was for and what it improves?
Also does anyone known if you can circumvent the root issue or is it a case of unrooting and installing

It's for battery improvement that's about it and yes you have to unroot not really worth it for that there's meant to be a big update soon i would wait

Oh really? Cool. Any source?
The real question is will it block root (the big update). Any update that removes root isn't worth it.

If you haven't updated think twice. here is my experience.
After the update my screen no longer goes to full brightness, the indicators and icons still say 100% however the screen has gone from 255 to 238 brightness at full. I think this is one of the ways they increased battery life
Note Lux and other brightness settings have not corrected the problem permanently.

They have increased battery life by having much better thermal controls i.e. the phone doesn't get as hot, one of the ways to keep the phone cool (and therefore indirectly increasing battery life) is to lower the brightness.
Keeping the phone cool was their main aim here, not to increase battery life.

Regardless of the reason my phone was perfect before this change and I had no heat issues or battery problems all was great, if you want to change options like this having an extra setting in the power menu would have been the way to go in my personal opinion.
Hi guys i have seen an app designed for samsung device that removes or disables bloatware. Samsung users have benefited alot from disabling bloatware. Most users got atleast 2 or 3 hours more SOT. How can i remove bloatware on LG G4? My battery drains like crazy even on battery saving on from 100%
Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk
You need to root your G4 first. Let search G4 Android Development forum to get the hint. Then you can use Titanium Backup to freeze bloatwares or other system app uninstallers to get rid of them.
On top, you can install Kernel Adiutor to lower CPU speed to achieve power saving purpose.

You can root, and delete un-needed applications. I posted about debloating the LG G4 here.

Until you post battery usage graphs showing total time, click the battery graph so we can see how much time wifi cell signal and your screen on time.
Nothing more can be done.
Yea but i dont want to root the device. I just want to delete the bloatware. I have read many forums where i have seen people get way better battery life by deleting the bloatware. I dont know if possible with the G4

Use the widows version of the bloatware tool, used it on my LGG4 works great, removed a few un wanted apk files, will help you de bloat some but beware do not remove something you do not know what it is.
