Uh what's your screen on time? Looks like you were using it the majority of that 4.5 hrs, and rebooted it 4 times...

Yes I rebooted 4 times and were using it on ans off. Just playing around with the new phone but no videos or games tho .
Still seems a bit of bad battery life ! Right ?
Any ideas on a good rom kernal combo ? I'm on AOKP with a Franco kernal ( tried about 4 kernals )
Thanks again ..!!

could you show us your actual screen on time and awake time? This first screenshot doesn't show us enough information.
Theres obviously a problem but we need to see some more info.

What is your screen on time like the previous poster asked?
If you're getting like 3 hours screen on time then you won't see much improvement from any rom or kernel...

There is my screen on. Is that some what normal ?
My Inc 2 was really good on battery so maybe I'm expecting too much ?

2 hours screen on time is okay. If you hadn't rebooted four times you could have got three.

In my experience 2 hours of screen time is terrible, even with 100% brightness.
I use AOKP rom and Lean kernel tho.
With 100% brightness on all the time I'd expect at least 3 hours but I never leave it maxed out all the time, so I always get at least 4 hours screen time along with 24+ total.

Is your phone new? That could be the problem, the first three days. my battery life was maybe 5 hours at best.

Verizon sold me a bigger battery that supposed will give you five extra hours . It came with a different back. The look and feel is not different we will see how it works. Field test tomorrow.
Just letting you know about the option I was kinda shocked about it myself let me know if you need more info .

It makes it a small amount (1mm or so) thicker. The cell is 14% larger mAh wise. So the battery life doesn't increase dramatically.

Here is what I got from the extension battery that was supposed to give me five hours extra. I'm normally impatient and don't have time to charge my phone when I get a new one so I drained it and gave it a full charge. (I know its li ion).
This was on 4G and did wat I normally would do. This is my second day with the phone. So I haven't had the chance to try this battery only on 3G yet and unfortunately I won't get a chance to try these fairly new battery's on the 4G network again.
But here is a screen shot of my extended battery on the 4G network. Not happy. I didnt even come close to five hours let alone what she promised.

I find a pretty funny that every single phone I've had in the last 2 years in every forum the people are always complaining of the battery life sucks I guess that's just modern day smartphones. This is where the razor max is going to shine.

Was your gps, wifi, bluetooth or any wireless connection on and for how long? Are you in a good coverage area? Where do you usually use your phone.? These are the questions you have to ask yourself before you say your battery is poor. 1 or more of these could easily deplete yours or any battery.

So I guess I didn't give you enough information in my first post.
First go to the Better Battery Stats thread, found here: -----> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809&nocache=1
Then go to the bottom of the 2nd post and download & install the free 1.12RC7 XDA version of Better Battery Stats. {or whatever the current version is.}
Then read through the thread to learn what you need to know about troubleshooting your battery use.
If it all works out, you should be able to find what is using your battery so fast.
Then, go to the link at the beginning of the 2nd post and buy the paid version of Better Battery Stats.

....get it? It's free?

Your battery doesn't seem defective, but definitely something is going on in the background. That's the kind of battery life I get after flashing a new rom or kernel before it settles in and I get some charge cycles in. Most defective batteries last very little time it's rare they still get over 6 hrs. Troubleshoot your battery first and if that fails get a replacement battery.

I noticed that media services is showing it's using a lot of battery and that's a sign of external sd card problems. This is widely documented, by chance are you using a SanDisk card? I experienced this and it was killing my battery, I swapped it out with a Samsung card and everything returned to normal. No more battery drain.

Yeah I have the 32 GB SanDisk Ultra 1, I have all my music on it and play it, if I copy my music to internal memory and play it from there, will that work?, cause I can't afford to get a new sd anytime soon. Also, how do I trouble shoot my battery? I also read that media server is a major bug in android. I read that all I have to do is force stop media storage after I'm done playing music or a game because it keeps running in the background is this a solution?

To be honest I'm not sure about the force stop media services. I just know that when out of nowhere my battery started draining quickly and media services was keeping the phone from sleeping, I was getting the sd card suddenly removed messages. Swapping it out solved my battery issue.

T-Mobile is sending me a new battery. But I don't think that will help. They need to send out another update and fix this crap. I didn't spend all that money to have a better phone and better battery life for it too die in 6hrs. So if you guys have any tips or tricks to fix this please let me know. Someone said to master reset my phone. Will that help or will I be wasting my time?

Same here, root and kill carrier IQ, won't be the same but relatively close

It is have to be kernel? Basebands?

Note after the update IQ_TOGGLE and IQ_OOB have been removed from system/priv-app/ and combined into the first apk so don't be suprised if you don't see them. Follow that and you'll go a lot farther.

I've had the opposite. My battery life seems to be MUCH better after the update. Getting over 4 hours of SOT as opposed to 3 before the update.

Viper4android sound mod...
---------- Post added at 01:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:44 AM ----------
I got my tone infinums the other day and I wanted to unlock some potential so I installed viper sound mod. It works great and they sound great, but I noticed my phone started getting warm and battery started going faster even when not doing anything. I went to the viper settings app and turned it off. I stsrted noticing better battery and my phone stayed cool. I now only turn it on if I'm listening to music or whatever.. I have no more issues now and wanted to see if maybe others might be experiencing these problems and give them a possible reason as to why..

Battery has improved

Great, what is it now?
Mine has gone down since the first day but is still pretty good. Right now I have just over 5 hours screen time and about 15% left.
A couple days ago though it seemed like the battery would last forever.
I'm going to run it low tonight though for a full charge. I'm going to run it down to about 5%.

IF YOU PLAY ANY GAME YOU ARE SCREWED. if i dont play a game i get a little over 4 hours screen time.

I have almost 6 hours screen time and 7% left..
Ytube, tune in, pocket caster, gmail and other stuff.. Bluetooth for hours and stuff running while screen was off
And of course if you play games you will kill the battery quicker.
I think it is pretty good..

[Q] Improved battery life after the new update ?

Hello guys
Did anyone notice a hugeeeee improvement in battery life after the latest update ?

What update? No update for my phone.
LG-D855 cihazımdan Tapatalk kullanılarak gönderildi

i dont think i've gotten 1 update for this phone since I purchased it, Spring Unrooted ZV4

I got the update on sunday.. Really my battery now lasts a whole day. From 7:30 that i removed from charger now it's. 4:52 pm and i have 60% ( on wifi all day)

What variant do you have? That's another thing that is weird to me, I haven't gotten one pushed OTA update for this phone in 2 months since I've had it. I get extreme battery drain, lots of lag everywhere, random shut downs, lag to reboots, onscreen lag typing on forums, this phone is a mess.
I would love an update, I might even jump to the note4 promo which ends tomorrow just to get rid of this POS. I'll be heading to sprint store afterwork to asses my options.

I have the international model LG-D855. My only complaint was about battery life. Now i don't have any complaints.

I have the feeling the lg servers vary and can be really slow at times. I think it took me 30-40 minutes to download the v10L and that from a person with 19MB/s download speed via wifi
Sent from my LG-D855 using XDA Free mobile app

Weird, mine got worse...a lot.
Was on 10g and updated to 10L 3 days ago. Before I had a wake time of 4-7%, now my wake time was rarely under 15%. Most of the time I hover around 20-25%. Battery lasts roughly 15h, screen on time is 3.5h max.
Total desaster...no idea why. Sensors seem to go crazy all the time and keep the devices awake.
D855.

Could I please get a link to the update? I'm not able to find it anywhere.

I've only had my G3 a day but I was impressed with the battery life after reading it had poor battery life.
11 hours on, 1:25 SOT and still at 75%. This is completely stock as I haven't had chance to root it yet.

11 hours on ?? With what usage ? For sure your internet plan and wifi is off

Same. Literally sitting here wondering why.
Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

Yup. Same here. I had high hopes for it outlasting the Note 9. Still hoping it will settle.
But typically on my Note 9, one hour of screen time equalled 10% of battery usage. With the Note 10+ one hour of screen time uses about 15% of battery.
I hope it settles a bit and maybe upcoming updates will help.

I've lost 10% battery since I posted 50 mins ago. Though screen was on all of it pretty much.

Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

Today has been my best day, so there's hope it's getting better. But I still think my Note 9 was a bit better.

I've been updating, installing and testing a lot of apps, so my phone runs about 10% down for each hour of on screen time, but there are few postings about disabling some programs that you don't use, that made difference in battery use. For example I don't even have facebook account and facebook was hapily running 2 or 3 services in the background (collecting data maybe), until I disabled it. So debloating should be part of your phone setup, like it or not.
